The dogs are on the loose
I don't own Inuyasha or Ranma ½
Thanks for reviewing everyone it's possible that I'd be able to post more often from now on since Idid most ofthe neededhistory classes in the year before, and maybe I'll be able to take things easier, till april. Not mentioning that mostlyI'll be only collecting material in the next two weeks.
Psycho King:She'll get some I can allredy tell you that. I gave Ranma the powers of one of my original characters. I'm worried thatit might be a little too much, sincethe powers I gave him belonged to a phisically weak character with immense spiritual powersbut I'll leave it like that. You'll see what I mean later.
Chapter: 17 Playing tag
The next day just after breakfast, everyone is getting ready to get going since Ranma insisted that they should go faster the demons knew that within the next two days they are going to reach their destination.
The group out to save Akane also gained another member but only Ranma was grateful to have her in the team. "Don't you understand? It's no use to run you still need to master your holy powers!" reasoned Kagome without the smallest success.
"I don't care about that we have to save Akane first! They are hurting her dammit!" yelled Ranma.
"But you're not strong enough yet to fight these demons." she yelled back.
"I killed a god to save her you think I won't do that again if I have to? UNDERSTOOD?" Ranma's last words were low like a growl but he needed more that this to frighten Kagome she was all too used to things like this tanks to Inuyasha.
Kagome wanted to answer, but Inuyasha stopped her by grabbing her shoulder. "I'd do the same thing if I were him, let's go an see what's going on it's no use to fight."
"But..."
"It's no use to fight mate we'll simply go there and kick some dragon ass." repeated Inuyasha.
"Kagome nodded slowly "But if someone dies..."
"Then I'll use the Tenseiga, it took twelve years but it regained its power." interrupted Sesshoumaru.
"But still what if their entire body is destroyed?" asked Kagome with concern in her voice.
"Stop it bitch it's his decision sometimes you fear more for some humans life than the life of your own mate's." remarked Sesshoumaru in his usual voice.
"Inuyasha is able to defend himself without any problem. But Ranma and Ukyo are not able to do that!" reasoned Kagome.
"What are you talking about?" yelled the boy "I've accepted every challenge till now and I never failed!" the young martial artist couldn't continue because Inuyasha dumped a bowl of cold water on his head to cool him down but also triggered his curse.
"This is no martial arts challenge you moron! This is a fight for life and death!" he yelled throwing away the empty bowl.
"Do you think I don't know that you oversized mutt?" in the same second Ranma received s severe blow on his head. "Mate!" he commanded turning to Kagome.
She understood and turned to the boy. "Listen up as hard as it sounds you can't help her yet! You don't have the slightest chance against our enemies as long you're not completely master of your powers. Speaking of Ukyo she better keeps away from trouble we'll only have trouble trying to protect her."
"What are you talking about?" asked the girl when hearing her name.
"Why the heck are you on Kagome's side all of a sudden?" yelled Ranma at the same time.
"You're too weak you simply can't help us you'd be killed!" Kagome answered Ukyo's question.
"Because now you're acting like a dammed little pup!" yelled Inuyasha at the boy.
"Forget it I won't go home and play the role of the good girl!" snapped Ukyo. "What kind of woman would do such a thing?" she added.
"I'd be happy to do that!" answered Kagome.
"Well though you're from the feudal era! Girls were such scaredycats in those times!" Ukyo yelled back.
"Too bad because I've been born in this era!" yelled Kagome.
"Well you're still a little goddy god girl, who is afraid to leave home without her husband!" responded the spatula girl in the same tone.
"Well sorry but I'm probably one of the few who have guts to go up against her husband!" countered the demon.
"Really? I bet that he supplies you with food and everything else so you don't even step out of your home! I can see that on your pale skin!"
"Have you ever considered the fact that my skin is pale because it's more attractive where I live? And my mate likes it that way!"
"Your not even trying to cover the fact that you're completely dependent on your husband!"
"Have you..."
"That's IT!" roared Ranma when having enough of the two females' word fight. "You can do this later! Right now we need to save Akane!"
Kagome and Ukyo looked at each other both of them nodded agreeing that they are going to continue this after they've death with more important matters. Then Kagome moved her vision to Inuyasha /We need to get rid of her before she gets hurt/
Inuyasha nodded and started to take on his true form so that the others can get on his back. "Let's get going!" called out Ranma after Inuyasha completely finished his transformation and jumped onto his back.
"So? Do you still want to come with us?" asked Kagome from Ukyo, the girl wasn't in school when Inuyasha pulled his stunt and didn't really believe it, and she also didn't have the luck to see Kagome when she busted the ice-dragons' plan to capture her. Now she had the proof right in front of her that what she heard was truth.
"Of course I'll go with you!" announced the spatula girl keeping the worry from her face but not from her scent.
Kagome sighed "If you want to kill yourself that bad then come along."
"Don't worry you'll be surprised how good I defend myself!"
"Against humans." muttered Kagome under her breath.
Two days later they reached their destination, only a few miles south of Aomori, but they couldn't find any sign of a demon fort. "Where the hell is that dammed castle!" growled Inuyasha when realizing that it's at least the sixth time that they bypass the same crossing.
"It must be around here! The entire area reeks of dragon." said Sesshoumaru sniffing into the air.
"Then where are they?" asked Ranma. "Where the fucking hell is that dammed base." suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his left side, it was so strong that he had to go onto one of his knees while trying to keep from screaming out. "Damn it they are hurting her again and I can't even help her!" he muttered.
Karom sat down and looked at the sky. "At times like this I really wish to have something to kill." In the same second he said out those words a flying ice dragon appeared on the sky practically out of nothing. "Err... guys I think I have and answer for our problem!"
"What do you mean?" asked everyone.
"Could it be that we can't find the place because it's up in the air?" asked the cat.
Everyone looked up not really getting what he meant with that, then they saw as another dragon appear out of nothing. "But how do we get up there?" asked Ranma.
The eyes of the demons immediately turned to Sesshoumaru. "I think we have an answer for that!" said Inuyasha, turning to Sesshoumaru. Who was the only one in the group who can actually fly.
Sesshoumaru tried to act unfazed but everyone knew that he was close to explode as they climbed on his back, especially when Karom got on. Ukyo wanted to follow the demons and Ranma but Kagome made it sure that there's no place for her, and so Sesshoumaru took off with a payload of three demons and one human. "If you let one of us fall down I'll skin you alive! Get it!" warned the cat.
"Got it you flea-bitten mousetrap!"
"No fighting you two!" warned Kagome.
Sesshoumaru went further and further upwards after a minute they finally crossed something that was like a barrier, but this one was only good to make Tekichi's flying fortress invisible.
"Not a bad place I'll have to ask this freak where he got this." remarked Karom.
"And blast this thing out of the sky!" added Inuyasha.
"There and opening!" Kagome said pointing at a hole in the side of the fort.
"Good let's get in and clean out that place!" responded Inuyasha.
Not much later they were inside but to everyone's shock there was no welcome crew like they expected. Everyone pulled out his weapon and the group started to walk deeper into the cave like tunnel. "This is too suspicious." remarked Inuyasha.
"I thought that they'll be all over us once we come in." agreed Ranma.
"Calm down it's no use to panic." calmed Kagome.
The group continued to walk deeper into the huge installation without anything trying to fight them, and of course they were starting to get the creeps. Ranma tapped the wall and to his surprise his hand went right through. "Guys I think I fond something!" he whispered to the others, before walking through the hidden passage. The demons followed him and they landed in a large chamber. The place looked more like a throne room but something about it was strange, there were doors almost everywhere.
""What is this place?" asked Kagome.
"I don't have the slightest idea." answered Karom. "Any idea fleabag? You're good a stuff like this."
Sesshoumaru carefully checked over everything the throne was in the centre of the room surrounded by several rings that held different markings on them. "Frankly I don't have the slightest idea, but the room must serve more as just a place to welcome guests."
"Could it be somekind of control room?" asked Kagome.
"Who cares as long it is important to our opponent I'd say lets trash it." with that said Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga. He raised it above his head ready to strike at the rings around the throne when one of the doors opened revealing Tekichi. Of course everyone was ready to fight, Kagome immediately fired an arrow at him, but her target took up into the air.
One thing was sure strange about him, he didn't move at all, and he was constantly in a stand-to position. Karom threw a sword a him but her also dodged. Then he raced forward he lifted one of his hands it started to glow and a white ball of energy raced at the group.
Everyone jumped away, but Tekichi decided to continue his attack. He flew forward tackling Inuyasha in mid air and sending him into the wall on the far side of the room. Karom tried to attack him from behind but the dragon moved aside and the cat hit nothing. Karom looked back and saw his opponent racing towards him, he quickly jumped away, barely avoiding Tekichi's feet that broke a large hole in the ground, then the dragon raced forward and punched into the cat's stomach sending him across the room. Karom prepared to fend off his opponent, but that turned to Ranma.
Luckily before he could reach him, Sesshoumaru and Karom attacked. The cat has been once again thrown into the wall, but Sesshoumaru, managed to hit Tekichi with his sword slicing one of his hands down. However the dog's victorious grin was short lived because he suddenly felt a sting in his left shoulder.
The demon lord moved his head aside to see another dragon that was completely identical with the first one. /What the heck? There are two/ Sesshoumaru let out a low growl while turning his weapon against the newcomer successfully slicing off it's head, but for that he received a hit in his back that was averted by his armour which broke into pieces while doing so. He let out another growl and used the Tokujin's full power, completely dissolving the demon with the attack.
This time the youkai didn't waste time on savouring his victory, and landed next to his comrades. Who were staring at something in the air, he slowly turned around and saw that several other dragons were hovering in the air around them all of them were looking just like Tekichi. Somehow he wasn't shocked about this like the others. The group raced forward to battle them they managed well killing several of the copies but it was impossible for Inuyasha and co to defeat them all.
"I think I have the perfect tactic for such a situation." remarked Karom while gazing at his enemies.
"What do you suggest cat?" asked Inuyasha while blocking and attack.
"It's a very old move of warfare used by many and when using it correctly it can make you victorious." the cat started.
"Just spit it out cat!" yelled Sesshoumaru.
"It's simple we'll just have to make a well planned and organised RETREAT!" the cat yelled the last part with all of his power, and started to run followed by the others except by Ranma.
"What does he me..." the boy couldn't finish because Kagome grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
"In Karom's language this means RUN FOR IT!" with that said she started to drag him out of the room.
When the demons reached the exit of the room they encountered and entire army of dragons. Inuyasha cleaned the way with a Kaze no kizu, but to his shock the attack didn't break through the wall of the tunnel in front of him. It parted into two cleaning out much of the tunnels. The group continued to run, first they wanted to make their way into the open but when they saw how many dragons were in that direction they decided to turn around and go deeper into the structure. To make matters worse they also noticed that suddenly the tunnels looked much more modern than before.
"Damn it suddenly the complete place got lit up!" remarked Kagome as they bumped into yet another group of dragons. Inuyasha released another Kaze no kizu, but to his shock the lead dragon blocked it. It was far more bigger than the other ones, and it also wore a very thick looking armour.
"Face about and run!" yelled the younger Inu sibling and the others immediately complied. They took another tunnel but not much later they turned around screaming and took the third one.
"We need to loose these guys before they catch us!" advised Kagome.
"But how?" asked Karom.
"To the left!" commanded Kagome and everyone complied. To the groups shock the corridor ended in a huge door and behind the door there was a huge room. The room was full of ice-dragons; all of them busy eating but a few seconds later the sound of weapons being drawn filled the air.
Karom turned around to see hundreds of enemies behind them. "This is baad!" he remarked.
"Any ideas?" asked Inuyasha, while Kagome erected a barrier to defend them.
"No but we better find something out." answered Sesshoumaru as the first wave of attackers hit their defence.
"Well you better do a barrier is not indestructible you know!" interrupted Kagome.
"Maybe I could help!" interrupted Ranma.
"Yeah and how?" asked Inuyasha eyeing the boy carefully.
"The Hiryu Shoten Ha!" answered the boy.
"The what?" came everybody's question.
"Don't blab around just stand close to me and watch!" answered the boy. /I have to be careful no matter what I do they are colder than me/ he thought at the same time. "Kagome lower the barrier and come here!" the female dog-demon didn't like what he was asking her to do but did as told. She jumped behind Ranma and the dragons attacked from all sides and did what Ranma wanted them to do.
Ranma moved backwards in a spiral while making sure to keep him close to his friends. "HIRYU SHOTEN HA REVERSED!" he yelled while punching downwards instead of up. The dragons around to him immediately made a face plant similar to Inuyasha. In the next moment they had the unpleasant experience to have their guts cut open.
While the rest of the dragons stood still surprised from the sudden counter strike Inuyasha and co used their chance and crossed the mess hall and then proceeded getting lost.
Somewhere in eastern Siberia"RANMA! WHERE ARE YOU?" sounded Ryoga's voice throughout the endless taiga. "COME HERE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!" he yelled again. Like if Ranma would hear him from such a distance. Good thing it's spring the weather isn't that bad this time of the year.
