The dogs are on the loose
I don't own Inuyasha or Ranma ½
I have a question for you have you ever seen "Werner bein hart"? ("Werner almost hard" in English translation) it's one of the best comedies I saw, I don't think that there's one person on the world that can stand to see this cartoon without laughing. I just had the idea to steal some stuff from it, too bad that there's no place where I can insert the coffee cooking motorbike.
Putz-6: Cologne taught this move to Ranma when Happosai made him weak using one of his techniques. Basically the one executing the attack uses the opponent's own power, he moves backward in a spiral keeping his aura cool while the opponent's remains hot all this has to be done quickly. When the executor reaches the centre he makes a punch upwards, this creates a huge tornado fuelled by the enemies power as long that struggles the tornado won't die down. At the same time the one using the technique is in total security in the attack's centre. In the last chapter Ranma used the reversed version so his opponents made a face plant.
Thank you for reviewing guys.
Chapter: 18 Hell's mouth
Finally after the hour of playing tag Inuyasha and company managed to loose their pursuers. Mainly thanks to the fact that Sesshoumaru's wound stopped bleeding and so her was able to mask his scent again.
Ranma let out a sigh as the last Ice-dragon ran by. "That was close!" he whispered to the others who nodded to this.
"Too close if you ask me!" corrected Karom.
Ranma slowly turned around and examined the interior of the room that he and his friends were using a refuge. It was filled with different kind of glass tubes pipes, some of them filled with chemicals, and everything else that you need for a research.
"Mate! Sort through that stuff maybe you can find something that can be useful to us!" ordered Inuyasha Kagome was already at it by the time he started talking. She nodded to answer while going through different materials. The others also checked out some parts hoping to find something that can help them. They knew that this is the best thing they can do for now.
However Ranma barely could hold himself in line, he knew that it's not healthy to run around in a fortress filled with bloodthirsty dragons out to kill you, but it was harder and harder for him to keep himself under control, and since he entered the stronghold he could feel a strong power growing within him an it was getting harder and harder to control it until...
"Why are we sitting here damn it! We need to find Akane!" yelled the young martial artist.
"Because my stupid friend..." started Karom "...the entire place is looking for us.
The same moment the cat finished a dragon entered the room, of course Ranma immediately lunge at it. "Where is Akane?" he asked in a low tone. The creature's expression gave away that it's terrified but it didn't talk. The young martial artist slammed him against the wall and held him there by the neck. Then he lifted one of his hands ready to strike. "Where is Akane?" he asked again. The dragon still didn't answer.
"SING!" commanded the young martial artist trying to hold back from letting his fist loose that was just itching to meet with the poor bastards face. However the dragon was still silent.
Inuyasha leaned against the wall and looked into the dragon's eyes. "He's not kidding!" still no change. Ranma's head started to turn read from anger. "I know that expression buddy if I were you I'd tell him!" nothing. Inuyasha moved closer to the dragon and looked into its eyes. "Listen up this human wants to save his mate to be, and you have only two choices either he'll clobber you or he'll kill you pick one before it's late."
Finally the hostage gave up "The human is a level higher in one of the research rooms I don't know anything more I swear it!"
"How do we get there?" asked Ranma.
"There's a stairway after the next room that connects..." the dragon couldn't finish because Ranma's fist silenced him for an uncertain amount of time.
"Let's get going!" announced the boy while braking down the door in front of him and proceeding to the stairway that was just mentioned. He never felt such power before within him and was determined to save Akane.
"Wait damn it!" called out Karom knowing well that the stairs will be well guarded, he even wanted to run after him, but suddenly the boys holy powers flared up to a power that the cat decided that it's better to keep away. Everyone was shocked when they heard a gigantic explosion coming from the boy's direction. They immediately ran there to see what happened to Ranma. The sight that greeted them was horrible limbs and guts were everywhere, but none of them belonged to a human.
Now even Sesshoumaru's face showed signs of surprise he couldn't believe that the boy has so much spiritual power. /This human cub is truly Midoriko's reincarnation./ he thought.
"So this is what Midoriko really was capable of, no wonder she was so feared." remarked Kagome.
"Feh! I could have done it better!" announced Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha stop it this is no time for jokes! Who knows what was standing here!" countered Kagome.
"A bunch of lazy dragons! I could have done this better!"
"You can do everything better right?" asked Kagome. Karom immediately backed away feeling the female's wrath.
"Of course I can!" replied Inuyasha with a huge grin all over his face.
"Including SIT-ing!" when hearing this Inuyasha immediately made a face plant.
Meanwhile a level higher Ranma was desperately looking for Akane destroying everything in his path nothing could stop him, every opponent that came to close to him received his full force and the once so solid walls of the fort received a couple of cracks. The young martial artist broke down another door while continuing his "walk of destruction" and finally he found the person he was looking for, but she wasn't alone. There was a white-coated figure with her holding some object in his hands, and he was closing to the girl.
"No please don't!" begged the girl but the figure didn't stop. "Please don't do this to me!" she mumbled fighting the chains that held her in an upright position near the wall, but it had no use. "Please!" she said out in a pleading voice and started to cry. It was barely a whisper but Ranma heard it well.
The boy looked at her face and saw several cuts and burns on it, in fact her entire body was covered with injuries and her were ripped and torn. Ranma looked at her face once again and saw utter desperation and fear. In the same moment he knew that he's going to kill the dragon.
The creature stepped closer to Akane and tried to place the device on her chest, she tried to pull away but it was no use. However the dragon had no chance to activate it because Ranma raced forward punching a hole in the ice-dragons stomach.
Akane stopped fighting when she heard the sound of flesh being torn she wasn't in pain so it wasn't her or she was simply too tired to feel the pain. She looked down preparing for the worst and saw a hand that pierced through her tormentor's stomach. She lifted her head to avoid the unpleasant sight to see Ranma after the dragon fell to the ground. "Burn you son of a bitch!" he mumbled trying to let out some steam, and shaking as much blood as possible from his hand.
"Ranma!" mumbled Akane with tears of joy in her eyes.
The boy jumped forward and hugged her. "Everything will be okay Akane! Nobody is going to hurt you! Please don't cry." he cooed into her ear. She started to cry even harder trying to wrap her arms around him but couldn't because of her restrains, so she was forced to settle with crying.
Ranma held her head between his hands gently and looked into her eyes usually he could see determination and strength in them but this time he saw relief gratitude, and happiness. His vision travelled down to her cheeks that were swollen from crying and then to her lips. Usually he didn't even dream about it but this time he couldn't keep from staring. He forced his sight up to avoid eye contact with her rosy lips, however Akane knew what he wanted.
She closed her eyes and leaned forward Ranma simply couldn't believe it she was willingly giving him a kiss. She stopped a just before brushing against his lips waiting for him to finish. A goofy smile appeared on Ranma's face he closed his eyes and would have finished what the girl begun if Karom would have entered a few seconds later.
"Are you guys all right?" he asked. But he also saw the position the two were in. "You two can mate later after we1re out of this mess. And take this as a good advise wait till she's at least half way healed or if it's that bad at least till her hands are free!"
The two teenagers blushed bright red this deepened even more when they saw the others enter and knew that they heard everything. "Cat could you?" asked Ranma.
Karom nodded and unsheathed his sword two slashes later Akane was free and she finally could return Ranma's hold.
"Let's get going we won't be safe here for a long time!" interrupted Inuyasha. Ranma nodded and forced himself to let go of the girl he'd been holding. He wanted to pick her up to carry her, but she pushed his hand away.
"It's not like that Ranma but you need your hands to fight!" she excused herself and tried to stand on her own with not much success. She was starting to fall but before she had the chance to reach the ground she was caught again.
"You're too weak I'll carry you!" said Ranma this time Akane didn't object and let him pick her up.
"So anyone have any idea how to get out of this place?" asked Karom while opening the second door of the room, but in the same second he slammed it shut, and turned to the others with a horrified face. While his brain went to work. /Problem... Dragon army behind door, if alone then kill them but human with wounded mate, the mutt is hurt. Side note I want to kill him! Possible heavy losses on our side only light on enemy. Solution... run sonny run/ "RETREAT!" yelled the cat, this time everyone understood and the race was on again. Seconds later the door was broken down by the masses of enemies.
"Which way should we go?" asked Inuyasha.
"Upwards!" answered Sesshoumaru.
"Why I thought we wanted to get down from this thing?" asked Ranma.
"Hello! Anybody home? Were at least a mile up in the air we need something to leave this place we can't use mutt-face because he's injured!" reminded Karom.
"But why are we going upwards?" because it's more likely that we find some mean of transportation on the top."
The group raced upwards on the stairs only finding one or two occasional troublemakers "Out of the way!" yelled Karom when seeing a smaller group of dragons he unsheathed his sword and slashed across the air releasing a lightblade and all of a sudden the dragons weren't in a mood to attack them, no wonder since they lost their heads.
It took several minutes of running but the group finally reached the top of the fort, to put it better almost. There was a large number of dragons separating them from the top of the thing. Inuyasha released a Kaze no kizu but it was blocked by one of the defenders that slowly rose from its comrades it looked completely like Tekichi this simply gave the creeps to his opponents.
Kagome launched forward and fired several arrows at the group making a couple of hits but the one she was aiming for constantly dodged the projectiles. /That guy's just fucking too fast... damn Inuyasha's bad mouth is starting to rub off on me./ "Hey need some help here guys!" the others behind her raced forward. The leading dragon received a halberd from the back, and turned it against the attackers. Sesshoumaru went to work on the weaker dragons while Karom and Inuyasha attacked their leader.
"Ranma follow Sesshoumaru!" commanded Kagome while trying to get a good aim at the dragons.
"I'm there!" yelled the boy for once happy that he doesn't have to fight since he had precious cargo in his hands.
Meanwhile Inuyasha and Karom were having trouble with the copy that was way stronger than the ones they have killed. It knocked Inuyasha into the wall, and sent the cat on a one-way trip downwards between the stairs. Luckily Karom managed to get hold on the fence next to the stairs, first he slipped down from it but the second time he managed to stop his fall. When he looked up he saw the copy hovering a good fifty feet above him.
"Sayonara my muscle-headed friend he mumbled!" he mumble while materializing a sword the cat threw his weapon with full power and it directly hit the target spearing it up. At the same time Inuyasha sliced through the creature, and bounced back from the wall to land next to Kagome.
To his shock his opponent didn't start to fall on the contrary it remained in the air like it never received the two killing blows. Then it started to glow brighter and brighter. Downstairs the cat quickly took cover, and Sesshoumaru forged a way for himself and Ranma to get out, and the two exited fast as they could.
Inuyasha and Kagome didn't have time to fight their way through the dragons Inuyasha felt that something horrible is going to happen he grabbed Kagome and jumped on the ground with her underneath him to protect her as much as possible. Seconds later the dragon explode.
Kagome managed to free her hands and create a barrier that would protect her and her mate from the explosion, but to her shock the defence soon started to split open, she concentrated much power as possible to the task but more and more cracks on her barrier, finally it broke. The explosion's shockwave was still strong, Inuyasha was able to cover one of Kagome's hands in the last moment so that only received minor bruises, but the other one was knocked against the wall, she screamed out in pain feeling her fingers being broken.
Inuyasha slowly stood up making sure that she's in his lap. The female demon was desperately looking for her weapon but after a couple of seconds she found it in her less harmed hand. /Damn it my hands are done for./ she thought.
"Don't worry mate we'll put your hands back together once were out of here! By the way remind me to get you a fire rat outfit once we get back to our world!" answered Inuyasha, he carefully took the weapon out of her hand and placed it back into it's sheath.
"Move it you two!" yelled Karom as he bypassed using the wall to get higher since most of the stairs got destroyed. This is when Inuyasha and Kagome realised that they got away with practically minimal injuries. Not only did the stairs get destroyed, but they had an insight to several rooms around them and the opening to the top of the fort was also much bigger. The sounds coming from there also told them that there's trouble.
Inuyasha jumped out in the open and in the same second he had to dodged a beam of light that exploded were he once stood. "What the heck?" asked Kagome not believing her eyes. "Lasers?"
"What are you talking about?" asked Inuyasha.
"Long story just don't get hit by those things!" yelled Kagome back, she jumped out of Inuyasha's hands and looked up to see several turrets firing at them. "How big is this thing? I thought were a the top!"
"Well I certainly hope this cretin doesn't have anymore surprises for us!" interrupted Inuyasha.
Kagome looked around for a mean of escape se saw several objects that she thought to be capable to fly but she could bet that the ones defending the place have a thing to say in this matter. "We need to blow those things up first!" she yelled pointing at the turrets.
Inuyasha gathered all his power and released a bakuryuuya, the attack went straight towards one of the turrets but it collided with something and came to a stop before it even had the chance to make some damage. "What the?" he asked.
Kagome was desperately searching for something that could help them but there was nothing. Then she found something a couple of turrets shooting at them were close enough to reach. She pointed at one and Inuyasha immediately understood. The two dogs raced towards one, Kagome lifted her good hand and raised a barrier while making sure that there's a hole for the weapon to fire out on. Inuyasha forced the thing to fire at its pals after four shots some parts of the shield protecting the guns on the side of the fort vanished.
Inuyasha used his chance to fire at the unprotected weapons, and the others also attacked them. Karom received two hits in the back; he turned around and looked at the turrets that fired at him, then he raced forward with an incredible speed. "Thank you but my gut already hurts enough so beat it!" he yelled whilehe slashed the things into pieces before moving back to his original targets.
Meanwhile Kagome was starting to get weak all guns were directing their fire on her shield, and it was starting to hurt to hold up the barrier. Her breathing was already ragged, and she had to go on one knee, Inuyasha immediately noticed this and released his hostage. He grabbed the female demon that immediately gave up the futile attempt to keep up her defence. Not even a second later that they jumped from their former place several shots impacted there creating a huge crater.
"Damn it we have to go back inside!" called out Karom.
"The cat is right!" agreed Sesshoumaru. "We have more of a chance if we go inside and find some shelter. The group wanted to move inside but their path was blocked by several ice-dragons.
Inuyasha readied the Tetsusaiga for another capital attack. "Wait! We mean no harm!" yelled one of the newcomers.
(Has anyone of you seen Ryoga? I kinda lost him around the spring of the river Lena.)
