I don't own Inuyasha or Ranma ½

The worst part of the year is about to start AKA end semester tests, but hey this is a student's life, and I'm also finished with the next chapter hope you'll enjoy.

Chapter: 24 Plans

Kagome was desperately trying to find a way to ease Ranma's and Akane's pain but nothing would work all her knowledge was useless, she only had one clue once the ice-woman that attacked them was destroyed their pain lessened for a short period of time. Then it started to become stronger again as other ones got closer. She soon came to the conclusion that the pain that the two were feeling was caused by those ice-women.

Meanwhile Inuyasha was busy outside town fending off the attackers who were moving towards Ranma and Akane in small groups from all directions Karom and Sesshoumaru also decided to get involved but it was no use no matter how good fighters they were some broke through.

Suddenly Ranma jumped up tightly clutching to his chest while Akane started to scream from pain. Kagome once again tried to help them using her miko powers but this time she was slammed against a wall after receiving a quite strong shock. She reached the end of her knowledge at this point there was only one thing left she could do and that wouldn't be a good thing at all.

Ranma saw this in Kagome's face and crawled over to his fiancée while trying to fight the pain. "Akane... if this is it... if... could I hold you?" he asked.

Akane turned her face to him and forced a smile on her face to answer for once Ranma understood what she wanted and wrapped her into his arms. The two were lying there waiting for death to clam them enjoying the other's company.

At the same second one of the attackers broke through the wall and reached for the couple but it never had the chance to finish whatever it wanted because Kagome's claws dug through it. She quickly loaded her bow and fired an arrow at the demons who wanted to enter the building destroying them.

Them she turned back to the couple on the ground. "There's no other way Ranma I have to lift the power that is keeping Tekichi from using his crystal."

"Don't!" muttered the boy obviously in much pain.

"There's no use to keep fighting. Your soul will be shattered if I don't remove the seal and Tekichi would still reach his goal." answered Kagome.

"But..." groaned Ranma.

"Don't worry Tekichi may get back his full power but you and Akane will also, you'll just have to defeat him again like you did." at this Ranma finally nodded and Kagome went to work, she started to chant a prayer while summoning her powers.

Suddenly the way the ice-woman in the city changed instead of trying to reach the Tendo dojo they started to attack everyone on the streets, especially those who were attacking them. Inuyasha was soon completely covered by these creatures and even though he had a very thick fur, that had it's limits and soon he was starting to feel the cold radiating from the attackers.

It was then that Kirara arrived at the scene. The fire under her paws flared up and she fired two flaming balls at Inuyasha that directly got the dog and melted the demons that assembled on him. Inuyasha released a row of barks with smoke coming out of his mouth, for certain reasons I won't translate this, elsewhere in the city you could still hear the sound of battle going on but soon those died down.

Inuyasha transformed back into humanoid form while Kirara landed and let Rin off her back. After this a wall of fire appeared around the huge cat and seconds later a young woman was standing in its place.

"You don't need to cook me alive bitch!" yelled Inuyasha.

"Would you would've rather frozen to death?" asked Kirara.

"Feh!" with that said he took off with an inhuman speed, and Kirara soon followed with Rin on her back.

At the Tendo dojo Kagome calmed down when seeing that her patients are no longer in pain but she also knew that the real fight will only start after this Tekichi has probably gained his full power after braking the seal the was keeping his crystal useless. "Oh well it could be worse." she said after giving out a sigh.

Minutes later Karom and Sesshoumaru are back followed by Inuyasha and the two females. The eyes of the two demon lords almost fall out of their places when they see their mates.

"Kirara/Rin!" they yell at the same time "What are you doing here?" the next thing they knew that the women are clutching to them with all their power.

"I thought we agreed that you and Ishima stay with Shippo till this thing is over." asked Karom.

"Yes but we couldn't hold it out without you in the near." answered Kirara. Seconds later an agreeing meow could be heard from within Kirara's kimono, and Ishima stook her head out to look at her dad.

"All right but next time..."

"...I'll listen to your word." Kirara finished for Karom. The cat nodded satisfied that his mate understood. In the case of Sesshoumaru and Rin something similar happened with the only difference that Rin would never interrupt her husbands words.

Kagome smiled and stretched knowing that she did good work she had to admit that the seal created by Midoriko back them was quite strong even with Ranma letting her to do it, it was still hard and her body was demanding a nice long sleep and made her ay up to the guest room. She soon heard Inuyasha making his way upstairs and the way she could judge from his mood he also wanted to sleep so she quickly rolled out a Tatami mat for them.

A few minutes later they were just about to fall asleep when the dreaded battle cry of the biggest pervert in all history echoed throughout the house. This was followed by the sound of two hasty departures as Karom and Sesshoumaru left the house along with their loved ones. And this was followed by loud rumbling, as the Tendo home was flooded with underwear.

Inuyasha dug himself out from underneath Happosai's newest collection and moved towards the door. "I'll be right back I just need to talk to an old freak."

That evening

The demons and two humans were discussing the latest happenings while Soun and Genma were sitting in front of the telly watching the news.

"So you really think that Tekichi will leave us in piece for a few days?" asked Ranma after hearing Kagome's remark.

"I very much think so usually demons take some of their time to get used to something like a new power or body I know this since I changed my body two times in my life thanks to a certain youkai that I don't want to name." the last few words were dripping of venom. Of course everyone in the room knew to whom she was referring to.

"How many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry for deciding to give our pups a good life! It was the best thing I could think of and you know..."

"It's ok Inu but why didn't you tell me that this is what you wanted I can understand and your decision was correct..."

"About time you realized that!" interrupted Inuyasha a loud growl left Kagome's mouth and the room went silent.

"...and this is just in sudden snowstorms are reported from all around Hokkaido there is no explanation for them and their strength which too strong for this time of the year..." when hearing this the entire group said only two words "Oh crap!"

"Now we knew that he'll leave us alone for now." added Kagome.

Next morning

Two nervous humans were waiting in front of the demons' room waiting for Inuyasha and Kagome to wake up. The first one to wake was Ishima and of course after that there was no way for Kirara to sleep on and the two left the room letting Karom get a bit more shut-eye. In the immediate second she opened the traverse her nose was struck by the typical scent of embarrassment.

"Ok what is it with you two?" asked the cat.

"Um... is Kagome awake yet?" asked Ranma not able to keep a blush from his face.

"And may I know why you are looking for her?"

"Sorry, but we can't tell you, you can never know when there's an eves dropper around." answered Akane. The demon examined the faces of the two they were looking nervously at the other or the ground.

/Ahaah they want to go through with their human mating but they need a priest first./ "I think I understand what you want I'll wake her but I warn you if Inuyasha's protective instinct kicks in all you can do is run."

The cat walked inside, and moved to the dogs, she leaned forward and gently shook Kagome her response was a small growl and the female dog demon went back to sleep. The cat tried again this time the growl was a bit stronger but again after a few seconds and a good stretch she continued to snuffle along with Inuyasha. The third time one of Kagome's hands unconsciously moved through the air in a slicing motion and Kirara could barely avoid the subconscious defence.

/Ok Kirara old girl you better think of something, you'll get your arm cut off with this approach/ it was now that Ranma decided to peep in.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked.

"No don't get back out." shouted Kirara as low she could but it was too late. Ranma saw her VERY cat like husband who was sleeping in his true form.

"CAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"

"Never mind!" mumbled the cat as she saw every person in the room jump up ready to fight while an unconscious Ranma fell to the ground.

"So what can I help you with?" asked Kagome while moving to the garden with Ranma and Akane, she was still a bit sleepy from yesterday's activities but didn't bother to try sleeping since Happosai was returning to the house every one hour since eight in the morning for seconds in the form of Inuyasha's fist.

Ranma quickly turned around and started to scan the area for any intruders while Akane leaned close to Kagome's ear to whisper something to her. "You know with you being a priestess and all could you help us get married." Kagome blushed a bit when hearing the request and couldn't wipe, the grin that was forming on her face off.

"But why have you decided to marry so all of a sudden and why don't you tell your fathers..." Kagome's words were cut short by the human.

"Well with Tekichi trying to kill us and all the other troubles we don't want to wake up one morning and hear that our stupid fathers engaged us yet again to some other people we don't know."

"I can understand that buy why don't you tell..." started Kagome however she was cut off again.

"No you don't understand we want to do this without them knowing you know just to pay them back for everything they did."

The grin on Kagome's face became a bit humorous, as she had to fight not to laugh at the humans' idea. "I'm in but you have to know that I can't marry you. I have strong miko powers and I can use them I'm a village healer back in my time, but I'm not a priestess, so I can't wed you."

"But you could find a priest that could help us?" asked Akane.

"Is there any kind of priest that your father knows, maybe if you speak to one and tell everything you can get away without having to pay a killer price." advised the youkai.

"Why? What would that help us in." asked Ranma slightly turning to the two females.

"Well they've been pressing you to marry with everything they could. Even in the case of arranged marriages this is ridiculous. And being in the middle of this little thing that would make the two look silly in front of the entire city is also appealing." a murderous grin appeared on both humans' faces.

"Can we ask one more thing from you?" asked Ranma.

"Go ahead."

"We need someone to keep our lovers away so the entire thing won't be blown up by them." he answered. "I found a microphone in one of the flowers." he added while holding up the doctored plant.

Inside of the house a quite shocked Nabiki was sitting in her room not believing what she just heard. /Akane and Ranma really want to get married? I think there are some people who would like to pay to hear about this./

The wind started to blow a bit stronger and once more Kagome's nose identified the aroma in it as Nabiki's "I'm gonna get money scent". "Well I better start asking the local priests if they help us with our trouble."

Kagome walked over to the wall and passed by a huge crater that was created last evening by Inuyasha as he threw out Happosai along with his entire collection, and along with Ryoga who accidentally got into the line of fire. Well ok after his remark when waking up "What the heck is this something stinks like wet dog!" I'd say this wasn't that accidental.

"Ok which shrine is the closest one?" asked the demon from herself while starting to jump from rooftop to rooftop while a certain human stepped out on the front door to sell a bit of information.

It didn't take much for Kagome to find the first shrine; she walked up on the stairs like every other human while folding her ears under her hair. /I hope the owner is a nice one... and has less spiritual powers than my grandfather. However when she reached the top of the stairs the first thing that greeted her was a holy scroll "Demon be gone!" yelled a young man's voice and seconds later the second paper strip impacted on her face.

But unlike the one her grandfather used these scrolls actually had holy power on them and thanks to this they were annoyingly sticky. "Could you stop with that crap I'm not here to destroy something you lunatic." yelled Kagome.

"Why should I believe you demon?" came the answer.

"Because it would've been easier if I attack from the air, and secondly if you'd take a closer look you'd be able to find out that I have miko powers." the priest stood still for a few seconds them lowered his wards.

"What do you want demon?" he asked.

"Do you mind if I unfold my ears?"

"There are not many people around this time of the day so it's not a problem."

"Thank you." answered Kagome seconds later two dog ears popped out from underneath her hair. "Two friends of mine wanted me to talk to one of the cities shrine owners, they want to get married without their parents knowing."

"I see and why is that?" asked the priest who was now very much interested.

"I think you already heard of the case between two martial arts families."

"Oh you mean Ranma and Akane. Their fathers belong in the lunatic asylum for the way they are behaving."

"Well the two decided to pay back their fathers by marrying without them knowing about it."

A small smile appeared on the priest's face "Yes I think that would be a proper punishment for them, but I do fear for my shrine, I heard what happened last time."

Kagome finally managed to get one of the paper scrolls from her body and threw it to the ground. "I can help you with that, I'll just talk to my mate and some other friends two demon lords and a demon that could easily become one if he wanted would make a sufficient defence against the unwanted wedding attendants."

"You mean you know some of the strongest demons around?" asked the priest.

"Very much since I'm mated to the one that could become one but doesn't want to."

"Well considering the circumstances... Deal! And for the bill forget it this one's on the house, I only want to have ten priests around just in case."

Kagome also nodded happy that she stumbled into a priest that could actually think normally. "Just tell them to keep their hands off of their scroll's I don't want the wedding end in a funeral.

"Likewise. So how did you end up with miko powers?"

"Long story."

"I got time."

Meanwhile on other parts of the city...

"Shampoo no let violent kitchen destroyer marry Ranma he Shampoo's airen!"

"Don't worry Ranma sweet-ums I'll save you from that evil girl's clutches!"

"Ranma Saotome you fiend how dare you force the fair Akane Tendointo an unwanted marrige!"

"Oh no you don't son-in-law you have to marry Shampoo!"

"RAAMAAA SAOTOMEE I'LL GET YOU IF IT IS THE LAST THING I DOOO... –spalsh- ...squeak bweek."

"The might of the Chem Club will bring down the evil Ranma!"

...Nabiki is busy getting money!
