The dogs are on the loose
I don't own Inuyasha or Ranma ½
Sorry about the late update, but my last week was simply disastrous it started with getting a bucket, then the heating in my home broke, and to wrap it all up my computer got a virus. Real swell! Oh well could be worse. KABOOOOOM! What the? Ryoga? Here?
"RANMA SAOTOME where are you?"
"You ass just wrecked my room!" tears sword from wall. While Ryoga continues his way across the destroyed room, not caring since he didn't understand a thing of what I said.
"A Jó –BEEP- anyád gyere csak vissza hogy kitekerjem azt a –BEEP- nyakad lógsz nekem egy új szobával!" meanwhile the sound of a weapon being unsheathed can be heard.
Taiyoukai of the west: I'll try to correct my mistakes, I bumped into one while checking something from the previous chapter, and I had to admit it was one of the embarrassing ones.
WaterTrainer: He is scared of cats, but as long Karom doesn't look like one he should be ok.
Chapter: 19 Ranma's true power
Inuyasha readied the Tetsusaiga for another capital attack. "Wait! We mean no harm!" yelled one of the newcomers.
"Huh?" asked the dog not really believing his ears.
"We are a small group who don't believe that it's correct to destroy other worlds to find ourselves a home Tekichi always hunted us because of our view, and we are the few left, of our real kind."
"Real kind? What are you talking about?" asked Karom.
"We'll explain later after were out of here!" answered the lead dragon.
"And how if I may ask? I don't think you can take off with those things shooting at you!" yelled Inuyasha.
"What things?" asked the lead dragon. In the same second a huge explosion shook the structure, the turrets blew up one after the other, making the path clear for an escape. "Everyone get out of here I'll help these beings to beat those scumbags back, while you do so!"
"Hey! What are we your personal assault team or what?" asked or rather yelled Inuyasha.
"You need our help to survive dog, and we need your help to get our families from Tekichi's grasp." answered the dragon.
"Feh!"
One after the other the dragons that were able to fly took off taking many of their friends who were not able to do that as possible, while also trying to make much damage on the fort as they could. However they were soon followed by dragons who were still on Tekichi's side. Ranma jumped on the back of one of the friendly ones with Akane in his hands and that took off he was followed by another one that carried Kagome and some of his comrades.
Another huge explosion shook the fort, and the barrier camouflaging it started to fade. "We better get out before this place goes up!" remarked Karom while slashing his sword across another enemy.
"Agreed cat!" answered Sesshoumaru.
"Don't worry about that this dammed fort won't go down because of a few blasts." answered their newly won friend who already received a few minor cuts but kept on fighting not caring about his injuries.
"I'd prefer if it would!" answered Inuyasha. "Do me a favour and die!" he yelled at one of his opponents who managed to hit him.
"Your not the only one!" answered the others.
Finally after several minutes of hand-to-hand combat the last refugees took off with Inuyasha and friends on their back. There was another explosion in the fort and it was forced to give up the chase after the fleeing demons.
Soon they landed in the middle of the forest where the other dragons got assembled. "Why the hell did they help us?" asked Inuyasha from Kagome once he found her.
"One of the elder ones told me that Tekichi is very much like Naraku was, only that he's got better equipment."
"And more men!" added Karom rubbing his sore back.
"This is not all." continued the female demon "It looks like Akane was kidnapped because her and Ranma's souls are blocking some crystal that can increase Tekichi's power multiple times they were trying to find something against this."
Inuyasha's palm slammed into his face "Fuck-a-doodle-doo!" he mumbled while slowly pulling his hand downward.
"Hey did anyone see Ukyo or the two weirdo servants?" asked Ranma while attending to Akane.
His only response was a set of moans "We better try to find them!" said Kagome. She took off to find the missing members of the group followed by Inuyasha. However they couldn't leave because there was a group of ice-dragons closing who were on Tekichi's side.
Inuyasha prepared to squash them but before he had a chance to do that he saw Tekichi appear behind them. He didn't knew why but he knew that this one is the real Tekichi. This was proved by the fact that he was dragging and unconscious Ukyo in one of his hands. "I see you found some new friends." remarked the dragon.
"You know Tekichi when even your own men are saying that you're a scumbag you should retire." answered Inuyasha.
"You a mere mutt are trying to brief me? You don't even know what's going on and still interfere."
Inuyasha smiled and lifted his sword ready to attack "You're a block of ice who's trying to freeze my home and kidnap my mate. This is more than enough for me to interfere."
"I'd watch it with that sword if I were you!" warned Tekichi, pointing at one of his men who was holding his claws close to Ukyo's throat ready to kill the girl.
"Nice try but I know that you'd do it anyway!" yelled Inuyasha, he started to run towards Tekichi and his men not caring about the girl's safety. /Heck if they kill her Sesshoumaru will just reanimate her./ he reasoned.
Ranma saw this and he didn't want his friend to die. Suddenly he felt the same power in himself as in the fort when he was desperately searching for Akane. Inuyasha's charge was interrupted by a miko shot that caught him in the back sending him into the bushes. Ranma looked at his hands not believing what kind of strength he wielded he knew how much more powerful the demon was than him, but suddenly he could easily stop him. He looked at the dragon that kidnapped Akane and cause her so much pain, he could feel the strength in his hands, but this time it was much bigger. He was taking revenge for Akane and saving Ukyo at the same time.
The boy slowly started to stand up with Akane in his hands. "Let her go!" she commanded Tekichi in a low voice.
"In your dreams human."
This was the worst thing Tekichi could say in this second, a blue aura started to appear around Ranma as he looked into the dragon's eyes for a second to signal him that he's prepared for everything. He turned around and released his hold on Akane so that his hands are free to fight, but instead of falling to the ground the girl remained suspended in the air where the boy released her.
She didn't knew what's going on but somehow she felt that she's safe. To her it felt like she'd be still in Ranma's protecting hold.
"Let her go!" commanded the martial artist, promising certain death if his command is refused, and it was. "Have it your way!" he said aloud while raising his hand.
"Kill them!" commanded Tekichi and his men raced forward.
Ranma waited for them to come closer and stood there like a statue. Not like his friends, Karom and Sesshoumaru were only not running because they didn't want to look like a coward in the other's eye, but there was one thing sure they also didn't want to get purified by the boys holy powers. Even Kagome was getting the creeps from the strength that she felt coming form Ranma and she was using her miko skills almost every day.
Finally Inuyasha decided to act fearing for Kagome's safety he jumped up grabbed her and started to run followed by the two other demons. The ice-dragons rebelling against Tekichi have already cleared the area sensing the danger.
Ranma still didn't do anything he just stood there waiting while his power kept getting bigger and bigger. The attackers were only a few inches away from him when he finally decided to attack they never had the chance to realize what hit them, the ones in the first row stopped moving for a second and then they simply blew up into nothing.
(If I from the anime Kiddy Grade(The story has a bad plot but it's kinda cute)
Why do we not remember things?
That vibe it haunts me still.
Ohh! I always knew what was around me.
But the voice is in my heart.
If I listen I can do it.
Ranma's attack flowed across the air, destroying everything in it's path. It looked like a huge tidal wave that was followed by several other ones. There was no way for the dragons in front of it to dodge and they dissolved one after the other when coming in contact with it.
I fight with my fears,
I will find them here!
If I clear my heart, I'll know the answer!
Don't think I'm looking back.
I'll know I'll fall behind.
Check the path and lets keep walking!
Tekichi was stunned by the sudden change of odds. He knew that he has no chance to win this battle, the waves of destruction got closer to him, but he was determined to survive. This wasn't the first time he had to face this attack and he usually would have easily got out of it with minimal injuries but this time it was different. Back then he had the power of his crystal to strengthen him, but this time he didn't. Now his main goal was only survival.
If I fail! The tears will overflow!
I have the power to blow it all away!
Understand and believe in me!
The last of his men between him and Ranma's sea of miko energy fell, and now it was his turn to face this horror. He jumped up into the air to avoid the painful contact, but it was useless because he saw another attack similar to the first one heading towards him.
Watch my eyes will overflow! Oo ooh oo ooh
My whole world has frozen over...
But there should be something that can change it
So time to fight!
I'll look for kindness, perfect timing!
When the first wave hit him he was stunned like his men but unlike them he had the needed strength to survive, then the second came, he lifted his sword to block the attack, but the weapon stared to dissolve into nothing in his hands.
Even now I believe
Wings plucked away from me!
Remember that flowing light
In charge of my life,
Body shadows of my heart.
I won't fear the hesitation before me
His men tried to get the martial artist from the side and the back, Ranma slowly turned to the right slowly gliding his hand across the air while continuing his assault, and the attackers started to fall one after the other.
I am free!
Believe in my power
Magic inside of me,
I will lose it!
That is it's my destiny!
Oh oh oh yeah
Some of the dragons managed to reach Ranma from behind, but they were stopped by a barrier that was protecting the boy and his fiancée. They tried again but the second time their weapons broke into pieces. The dragons attacked using their claws but once they touched the barrier their hands started to dissolve and soon they were all dead.
It's my life!
I will fight!
I'm in control!
I won't give up!
Ranma turned his attention back to Tekichi thanks to his vassals' sacrifice the lord had a chance to think of a way to get out of the mess. He lifted Ukyo in front of him to use her as a shield and raised one oh his hands to her throat. "Now what'll you do? I don't think you're one who kills his friends!" he asked in a humorous tone barely able to keep from laughing.
I am all right!
I will move on!
I won't forget!
My heart, my soul!
The boy's expression turned murderous there was no need for words, his eyes were promising certain death, he moved his hand across the air again releasing another attack that headed directly at Tekichi.
Just when I thought everything was all right,
Reflection in the mirror can you answer me?
Forget about turning back
Just look straight forward
The dragon was more than surprised to see that the boy is attacking he completely forgot about his promise to cut the girl's throat, but he also knew it that it's no use to do that. It'll only make his situation worse. He desperately looked around to find a way out but there was none.
If I fail! The tears will overflow!
I have the power to blow it all away!
Understand and believe in me!
He looked forward at the masses of blue miko power moving closer to him, he knew that even if he dodges Ranma will simply release another attack, and if he flees the boy will for sure follow him.
I am free!
Believe in my power
Magic inside of me,
I will loose it!
That is it's my destiny!
Oh oh oh yeah
I the last second Tekichi decided to drop Ukyo and started to run, but it was too late, as the attack reached the girl it simply moved along, not like with the dragon, who was screaming in pain as his body was starting to fall apart.
If I fail! The tears will overflow!
I have the power to blow it all away!
Understand and believe in me!
Suddenly a bright flash came from the dragon, Ranma was forced to look away when he had the chance to look back up Tekichi was already out of site. It seemed as if he would be dead but somehow he could feel that the demon lord is more alive than he would like.
It's my life!
I will fight!
I'm in control!
I won't give up!
/Damn it he got away/ thought the boy but by the amount of damage they did on the lord and his forces reassured him that for some time he won't come along to fight him. He turned around and looked at Akane. The girl smiled up at him and lifted her hands to ask him for a hug.
I am alive!
I will move on!
I won't forget!
My heart, my soul!
He gladly obeyed pulling her close to him. "Don't worry Akane nothing is going to happen to you. I promise I won't let anything hurt you." he mumbled into her ear. She strengthened her hold on him for a few seconds and tried to pull his face closer to hers, he smiled at her and pecked her cheek. "I want you to be fully healed when we do that."
The next thing the boy felt was a fist in his face. "Pervert!" muttered the girl under her breath.
"Now I'm a pervert because I want to kiss you on the lips?" asked the boy. Akane was stunned both from surprise and embarrassment.
"I...I'm sorry I thought... that you... that you only want to..." Akane couldn't finish because she was just too embarrassed.
"Oh you thought that I thought about?" asked Ranma while blushing deep red. Akane nodded while blushing tremendously, soon she heard the boy laughing, she couldn't believe her ears. "You really think I'm like that? I love y..." suddenly Ranma went still very still like someone would have turned a switch in him.
Akane simply stared at the boy in front of her, not believing what she heard. "Ranma would you please finish that sentence? I think I heard something wrong."
Ranma's hands were shaking uncontrollably, as so the rest of his body how could he blab this out so easily, then he remembered what he promised to Kagome. Ranma gulped a few times before starting to speak. "I... said... I...I...I IsaidIloveyou!" he blurted out quickly.
The girl didn't completely understand his words right at once, but when she replayed the words in her mind she couldn't believe it. "Do... you really?" she asked. Her response was a blush and a nod.
Ukyo slowly started to wake up she opened her eyes to see the young lovers, a tear appeared in her eye but she quickly whipped it away. /I'm so happy for you Ranchan I hope you'll be able to solve all your troubles back home. I'll help as much as I can with it/
The next second she Akane clinging to Ranma with all her power, not caring about the pain that was caused by her swift movement. "I love you two you silly!" Both of them forgot about their surroundings at this point and they started to get closer, closer, their lips almost touched.
"You could really pick better places to mate!" yelled Karom as he entered the clearing with the others. The humans jumped apart, and looked at the cat in shock, to boot things Ranma looked into Karom's eyes, he already had the creeps around the cat but when he could see his eyes... "CAAAAAAATTT!" ...he simply freaked.
