Dark Inheritance By Brother Angelon
Chapter 2 'Dreams'
AN: I don't own any of Ranma ½ as that work belongs purely to its writer and creator who I have a great deal of respect for. I will claim the rights to any characters I myself create and use for this story.
This is a (AU/Continuation). I would like to thank everyone who took the time to post a review on my story so far. It does get me going to know that people are reading, and either enjoying what I have done so far or are waiting to see what is going to happen next. If I make any spelling errors please let me know. Finally I would like to add a special thanks to my bro Fallcourt for taking the time to pre-read my story before I post it up for everyone to read.
The late bell rang sending students rushing off to classes as a crash of thunder rolled across the sky. A change was coming and it was obvious that Ranma was at the center of the coming storm. Watching from the second story window, Nabiki could only wonder what her little sister was going to do now. Kuno had not even moved from the spot he had fallen and it did not look like Akane was going to move soon either as she was still in shock over what she had seen.
"Cancel all bets concerning Ranma until further notice" Nabiki told one of her assistants who nodded and left to inform the others about the changes.
A wet and angry Akane opened the door to class with a look of divine rage plastered across her face. It was obvious that she had failed get to class before the late bell had rung. The class which was already in session turned to stare, at what was going to be a very violent display.
"Tendo Akane, your over 10 minutes late to class. Go stand in the hall" Was the only words said as the teacher ignored the surprised look he received and started teaching History once again.
Grabbing two buckets of water, Akane went back into the hall to stand as punishment. 'I can't believe Ranma just sat there and said nothing'
The students meanwhile were starting to become worried because Ranma had not reacted at all since he had walked in and sat down. A few notes made there way to his desk but he just ignored them.
The emotions that had almost over taken him when Kuno had attacked him outside were even now still trying to boil up. Even with the use of the soul of Ice technique the rising anger was only kept in check instead of being put out as he was hoping.
Ranma didn't even notice Akane when she was finally allowed back into class. The stares that would have caused even a hardened mass murderer to run off and confess his action rolled off him like water on a ducks back.
'That... pervert is just sitting there thinking about something perverted I know it' Akane fumed as she tried to ignore the worried voice that was screaming at her that the man she loved was acting abnormal.
With Ranma refusing to answer the notes that had built up on his desk, Akane became the target of the various questions her classmates had about the strange behavior he was showing.
With the sound of the lunch bell Ranma seemed to come to life once more as his form blurred into action. The last sight was of his pigtail trailing behind like a tail as he jumped out the window to the ground below. "Ranma come back here you JERK!" Was the only thing Akane could get out before she lost sight of him.
The roar of his blood pumping in his veins pounded a steady beat in his ears as Ranma ran. Facing Akane or the questions that were to follow was not something that he wanted to face at the moment. No what he wanted was to run, jump and maybe hunt? These strange thoughts had been building since he attacked his pop at the breakfast table, and the fight with Kuno seemed to increase those feeling ten-fold.
Everything was so alive, and new to his senses. Sounds that would not be loud enough to be heard were now crystal clear. The wind seemed to carry fragrant smells of food, from restaurants and the distant market to his nose. It was one particular smell that was pulling towards a place he had not been to for the last few weeks.
The quick trip along the roofs of Nerima came to an end as Ranma crouched and looked across the street at Ucchans where the most wonderful smell in the world was coming from.
Ukyo was hard at work at Ucchan's as the lunch crowed was rather large today. But it was obvious to anyone watching that she was thinking about something other than Okonomiyaki. "Ranchan..." was softly muttered as she worked on a deluxe special to go order.
"Ukyo-sama is there anything wrong?" The femininely dressed Konatsu asked as he picked up the next set of orders to be served.
Sniffing and wiping a few tears from her eyes with the back of her hand, "Naa just seem to have a bit of onion in my eyes is all sugar"
The tinkling of the customer chime caught her attention as it seems the next batch of hungry eaters must be showing up. "Just a moment and I'll get your order" Ukyo said as she turned towards the doorway. What she saw caused her hands to tremble, for there stood Ranma in his standard Red Chinese shirt and black silk pants. But there seemed to be something different in his eyes. They looked distant and glassy.
Konatsu sensing something was wrong about Ranma approached carefully. "Would you like your regular seat Ranma-sama?"
Konatsu gasped as Ranma turned and looked him dead in the eyes. The normally clear blue-grey was muted to an almost purple and his stare seemed altogether too feral to be seen in a humans eyes. And it had to be his imagination, but it almost looked like the pupils of his eyes were slightly cat like also.
'Food... Hunt... Eat...' were the thoughts going through Ranma's mind as Konatsu walked up and started to talk. But those thoughts were pushed back into the recess of the darkness as he realized where he was.
Looking at Konatsu as if for the first time, the blue-grey of his eyes seemed to return to normal before the stunned Kunoichi. "Umm. Hey there Konatsu. How ya been doing?" Ranma asked so that he would not give away that he could not remember coming to Ucchans.
Releasing the breath he had not know he was holding Konatsu smiled "I have been doing well, thank you for asking. Will you be having your usual?"
Ukyo continued to work as she looked at the man she loved more than life itself, stand and scratch the back of his head as if slightly confused while talking with her waitress. Had he finally forgiven her for the wedding fiasco, maybe he was here to announce his decision to pick her over all the rest. Tiny angels floated around her as a vision of her and Ranchan walking down the isle, after their wedding flashed behind her eyes as her greatest dream was unfolding.
Ukyo blink blinked as she realized Ranma was asking her a question. "Hey Ucchan can I have a special deluxe okonomiyaki."
A rosy red blush tinted her cheeks as she realized Ranchan had been staring at her. She had been dreaming about doing naughty things during their wedding night. "Sure thing sugar, one Ranchan special coming right up."
With practiced ease Ukyo placed one special okonomiyaki in front of Ranma who quickly started eating it. 'I just love watching Ranchan eat my food'.
Wanting to spend some time with her fiancée Ukyo was frustrated by the orders still coming in from other hungry customers.
Trying to figure out how he ended up at Ucchans, Ranma enjoyed his meal while thinking about the strange feeling of freedom that had come over him after he had left school.
Wanting to talk to Ukyo Ranma decided to help out with the lunch crowd. So after a quick glass of water and an apron Ranma-chan started bouncing around the place taking orders and picking up dirty plates.
Grabbing the last set of dirty dishes Ranma-chan came back out and took a seat in front of Ukyo. "Umm. Ucchan..."
"Just a second Ranchan, let me get you some hot water." Ukyo grabbed a tea kettle and poured some of the hot water over Ranma returning him to his birth form. "Before you say anything Ranchan, let me tell you how sorry for my actions at your wedding." With those words Ukyo buried her face in her hands and started to cry. "P Please don't hate me R..Ranchan."
The anger that had been festering inside since that day vanished as he watched his oldest and best friend cry her heart out. "Don't cry Ucchan... I was just upset that you and everyone else decided they knew what was best for me rather than asking me. If I didn't want to get married do you really think anyone could force me?"
Sniffling as she look into the eyes of her fiancée, Ukyo realized how close she came to really losing him. "I know. With you being away for so long, then as soon as your back Nabiki sells me the info that you're going to be married. I just went crazy and had to do something before I lost you forever."
"How about I tell you what happened in china when I went to rescue Akane..."
It had been hours since Ranma vanished from the school during lunch. Nabiki was like a shark in a feeding frenzy as she answered questions about one pigtailed martial artist. Akane however had headed straight home hoping he had gone there.
Mr. Tendo could be seen crying as he played shogi with Mr. Saotome whose face was wrapped in bandages from the attack Ranma had given him that morning. Kasumi was humming a tune as she worked in the kitchen making dinner.
With a huff at finding Ranma not at home. "I'll be in the dojo if that should that Baka show up."
"Waaa! Now the schools will never be joined!" Cried Soun as he moved a few pieces on the shogi board as Genma turned to look at Akane stomping out to the training hall.
"Don't worry old friend, as soon as my foolish boy gets here we can have a wedding and join the schools. Now let's drink to the future of the Anything Goes School." Genma said not realizing the hole he was digging for himself.
It was after dark that Ranma finally arrived home. Things were finally looking up with Ucchan. It had taken a few hours to tell her about the events in china and how Saffron had forced him to break his vows against killing to save Akane. Ukyo just cried and held him like a friend finally as he poured out his heart to her. How ever since the wedding he had been hit constantly by Akane, and accused of letting everyone ruin her wedding.
It such a great weight off his shoulders when Ucchan ask if they could still be friends. Even Konatsu said he would help out anyway he could.
Not wanting to have an argument after finally settling things with Ucchan Ranma jumped up to the second story window that lead into the guest room and quietly climbed in. The large form of Genma-panda could be seen already snoring away.
'Guess I'll deal with Akane and the others tomorrow.' With that Ranma quickly undressed and went to sleep.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.
But what happens when that soul is divided.
Will that division be seen or will only madness be seen.
