The Demon Incarnate :
Chapter 5 : Reminiscing on the past"Damn it, where's Ryoga when you need him?" Ranma asked no one in particular. He ran through the forest with inhuman speed, occasionally tilting his head side to side, looking for his eternally lost companion.
(Flashback)
Sessomaru gripped his right arm, trying to stop the blood seeping from his wound. He looked up to see the irritated look of the hybrid named Ranma.
"Just run away, we both know what the outcome of this battle will be if you continue to fight me." Ranma stated. Sessomaru's eyes flickered red as his already inhuman fangs grew to the size of large razors. He growled as Ranma smiled evilly. Sessomaru launched forward, his deadly nails enlarged, ready to slice Ranma to ribbons, but all Ranma did was just stand there. Sessomaru slashed and stabbed at Ranma with superhuman speed, but Ranma was faster. He weaved and dodged over and under Sessomaru's attacks with ease, then he charged up his hand with ki and slammed his fist into Sessomaru's gut, causing him to lurch forward as he was launched off his feet. Before Sessomaru could reach the ground, Ranma was there to meet him as he kneed Sessomaru's back and elbowed him onto the ground. Sessomaru coughed out large amounts of blood as Ranma mercilessly hammered Sessomaru's chest with ki-powered punches.
"Feel the Flame of the Staff of Two Heads!" a shrill voice rang out. A large blast of fire shot out of the trees. Ranma jumped out of the way as the flame shot right past him, burning several trees that got in the way. He then smirked as he made his escape in the shadows. Two figures ran out of the forest, heading towards Sessomaru who was currently breathing heavily and vomiting large amounts of blood.
"Master Sessomaru! Are you ok?" a short green goblin asked, angry with himself for not getting here sooner and hitting himself on the head with his two-headed staff, saying stupid over and over again. An 8 year old girl was next to the goblin, crying her eyes out as she hiccupped. Sessomaru growled out loud. The two immediately cringed, stopping what they were doing previously. Sessomaru stood up and revealed his bright red eyes and enlarged teeth, his clothes and fur scarf dirty with blood from combat. He then scoffed as his eyes turned their original gold and his clothes looked brand new again. He shortened his nails and teeth as he gazed down at his two companions.
Jaken is a short, green goblin with a two-headed staff. He remains loyal with Sessomaru because he had once saved his life and felt indebted to him. He has never left his side.
Rin, was originally from a small village in the outskirts. One day, a pack of wolf demons attacked her village and killed everyone, including her. She tried to survive as long as she could before dying just outside her village. Sessomaru found her, and for some reason, brought her back to life, which caused the young girl to follow Sessomaru anywhere he went, calling him Lord Sessomaru whenever she could.
"Lets go Rin, Jaken." Sessomaru said emotionless, acting like the battle against the hybrid never happened as he walked into the forest. Jaken and Rin stared dumbly at Sessomaru before snapping out of their trance and followed him into the forest. Sessomaru smirked before completely disappearing in the shadows with Rin and Jaken in tow.

Ranma picked up a small, black and yellow ribbon, most likely belonging to that of Ryoga. Ranma smiled as he remembered the good old days with Ryoga.
(Flashback)
"Why do we have to go to school Ryoga?" a 15 year old Ranma asked wearily. Ranma and Ryoga were both wearing what appeared to be travel clothes and large backpacks.
"Because! I already signed us up, also, I don't want to end up stupid and dumb for rest of my life!" Ryoga almost shouted out loud. Ranma snorted.
"Too late dumbass." Ranma whispered. Ryoga just cluelessly walked in a random direction, causing Ranma to shout out 'wrong way stupid!' Ryoga turned back to Ranma, looking at him expectantly. Ranma just blinked before pointing behind Ryoga. He turned in the opposite direction and saw a sign that said 'Furikan High School past this turn'
"Hey, what do you know? We're already here!" Ryoga said happily. He then ran over the corner that was suppose to lead to the school. Ranma ran after him. He turned the corner and found the school, but no Ryoga.
'Of course, that moron always gets lost.' Ranma thought, as he walked through the school gateway. Ranma blinked. He rubbed his eyes, then blinked again. A girl with long blue hair was fighting a large mob of boys holding what appeared to be sporting goods. She was winning of course, but what amazed him was the fact that the boys seem to be extremely resilient. In about 5 minutes, the boys were all wiped out, moaning and groaning out in pain. Ranma just shrugged. He's seen weirder things. He walked across the large field of unconscious boys, occasionally stepping on their backs, causing them to cry out in pain.
Something sped towards Ranma. He swiped it out of the air as he found out it was, a rose? A pompous voice rang out through the school field.
"How dare you snatch the holy message of love I throw to Akane Tendo?" a boy with samurai garb and a bokken shouted out. He then pointed his bokken at Ranma as he asked, " Who are you?"
Ranma slapped away the bokken as he said, " My name is-"Ah, but is it not customary to give one's own introduction first? Very well then! Mine Ishall give!"The boy with the bokken said obnoxiously. "I am the co-captain of this school's kendo team! The rising new star of the high school fencing world! My name causes fear in all those who oppose me, For I am the Shooting Star(1) of Furinkan High, Tatewaki Kuno, Age 16!" a shooting star rang past the boy with the bokken as he struck a pose. Ranma stared incredulously at the him.
'Is this guy for real?' Ranma thought to himself. Kuno then gazed at Ranma's partially worn-out clothes and snorted loudly. Akane, the girl with long blue hair who fought the crowd of boys, stood 20 yards away from them, scoffing as she said 'Stupid Boys' over and over again. A large crowd of girls and some boys stood by the windows, commenting on how good-looking the new boy was and where he had come from.
"Obviously a mere peasant! Your mother is who probably dresses you so! I sha-AUGH!" Kuno cried out as Ranma punched him in the solar plexus, making him wiz through the air and into the school, causing everyone to see a large imprint of Kuno's body appear on the concrete wall. Everyone tilted their heads back towards Ranma, who was currently glowing black, facing the ground. Everyone took one step back. Ranma looked up and growled at Kuno.
"Don't EVER Talk About My mother." Ranma whispered coldly, loud enough for the whole school to hear. Everyone shivered. He then entered the school door, as the fiery girl with long, blue hair stared dumbly at Ranma's retreating back. She then came into realization.
"Oh no! I'm late for class!" Akane shouted out loud before sprinting into school.
(End Flashback)
Ranma shook his head, obviously amused. He then heard loud growling as he looked up to meet the faces of a large herd of boar demons.
"Look! Prey! He looks good enough to eat!" one boar monster said. The rest laughed out loud. They then all took out various weapons, ready to slaughter whatever they came across. Ranma just chuckled, then laughed out loud. The monsters were confused. Wasn't this human afraid of them? The boars suddenly shivered as the temperature fell. They all looked at Ranma and cringed. He had a large black aura surrounding him as he stared at the monsters with an evil look on his face. They all gulped. Ranma smirked sadistically.
"Who's the prey here?"
TBC.
(1)- Remember, Kuno changed his nickname to Blue Thunder when he became 17!
