The dogs are on the loose

I don't own Inuyasha or Ranma ½

Another chapter finished I hope you'll like it thanks for reviewing.

Dragon man 180: Place yourself in her place, you're in the hand of a youkai who can easily rip you apart and your ex-to-be-son-in-law easily bashes the best fighter around and then threatens you that he'll do the same to your tribe. Pretty effective way of making someone back up!

DawnLove: Don't worry to tell you the truth I'm a pretty lame reviewer myself.

Chapter: 36 Preparing to leave

The news that Kagome has finally found a way so she and her family can return to their own home spread fast thanks to Nabiki, Kuno's ninja also found it out on the same evening the demons had talk with Cologne about returning to some distant place as he has put it hoping that the entire mess will soon come to an end. Spying on Kagome every night was starting to becoming really tiring especially since he received a beating from one of the demons almost every second night.

Kagome decided to end going to school since she finally found what she was looking for. Then around ten o'clock she heard a loud crash signalling the end of the peaceful morning. "Come out of your hole you vile demons so I can defeat you! I Tatewaki Kuno will rip you apart I won't let you force the fair Kagome to be with you anymore, after I'm done with you I'll defeat the foul sorcerer Saotome to free the beautiful Akane!"

The demons in the main room lazily looked up at him and groaned annoyed that the lunatic samurai was at it again. Kirara tuned back to continue stroking her husband's head, who was lying on the table in his small form purring loudly.

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha both leaned back against the wall after waking up from the loud screaming and continued sleeping. It was the same with Genma and Soun who turned back to their game of go. Kuno couldn't believe it he was being completely ignored by everyone.

"How dare you ignore one of the mightiest warriors of our fair country! I Tatewaki Kuno will smite thee!" he hollered but there was no response except for a meow that came from Karom this was followed by a number of cat line snickers. (Translation: Warrior my ass! Thehe!)

"I couldn't agree more my dearest mate!" added Kirara.

"What? Now you are forcing maidens to marry animals for this I shall destroy you all!" yelled Kuno.

"Even me?" asked Kagome sarcastically looking into the room to check what's going on. "As for Karom..." at this point she decided not to continue because Kirara stood up and Kuno saw her two tails, the same time Karom also got on his feet and transformed and was now standing proudly and at least a head taller than the wanna be samurai.

"If you have any problem with my choice for a wife than say it now." he growled, of course Kuno being stupid and all he pulled out his wooden sword and tried to hit Karom. The cat easily leaned away from his attacks and even goofed around by showing him faces every time he avoided one assault.

"Stand still and take your beating like a man!" hollered Kuno not getting how this "low creature" can so easily make a fool out of his "grace" and "skill". Karom turned to his mate with a question written all over his face but that also couldn't imagine why the human wasn't buying that her husband was only demonstrating his abilities in the speed department.

"Hey mutt will you get up and kick his ass already? If I use a sword it's possible that I'll handle out of reflex and slice him apart along with his joke of a sword." asked Karom after about five minutes slowly getting tired of Kuno.

"Why don't you punch him?" asked Sesshoumaru.

"Because I fear that I'll crack his skull in half and he'll become worse than before!" answered the cat.

"Than kill him!" came the response.

"And dishonour myself with killing someone who is even low for a human?"

"Then it's your job little bro." reasoned Sesshoumaru.

"You mean I should get rid of him because I was once a hanyou? Sorry but since then I earned a name!" responded the younger dog demon.

Kuno was stinky to say the least he couldn't believe it these "brainless morons" were making fun of him. "For this I shall not give you mercy?"

The room was filled with laughter.

Finally Ranma and Akane decided to head down to look what was causing the trouble, when they saw what's going on they let out a chuckle, there was however a slight problem they forgot to let go of each other's hands and their fathers spotted this. "The schools will be finally joined!" hollered both of them, they left everything like it was and grabbed their children.

"It's about time that you realized what's good for you son!" yelled Genma with joy.

"I can hardly believe it my little daughter will be soon a wife!" cried Soun.

The two fathers wanted to proceed with grabbing their kids and running to the nearest temple when they both received a hit on the head and fell unconscious.

"Hey will ya get lost Kuno don't you see that you're bothering?" asked Ranma.

"Ah Akane my fierce tigress!" yowled Kuno completely forgetting that he's in the middle of "dispatching" one of the vile demons who were polluting the purity if this fair house.

"Kick him out of the house already! Before I kill him!" growled Ranma.

"Then kill him!" answered everyone in the room.

"Just throw him out! Will ya?" asked Ranma.

"Huh and how do you want to do that you foul sorcerer you have nothing against me! Do you really think that a couple of mangy demons would be able to..." Kuno couldn't continue mostly because he was facing one angry cat and two angry dogs.

"Tell you what Kuno..." remarked Ranma leaning close to the kendoist "...you're in a lot of trouble and soon you'll be in a lot of pain! Let's go Akane before his crazy sister comes along to "rescue" me."

"Shippo my sweet-ums I'm here to free you from the clutches of that mere peasant." yelled Kodachi.

"Scratch that let's run before she sees us!"

Ten minutes later

A human flew out of the front window and landed in the neighbours trashcan just like the last time, seconds later a second a female one came flying out from the garden but the one throwing her didn't really see the can so poor Kodachi slammed against the top of the can but didn't fell in.

"Mow that we've dealt with this matter let's get back to business!" declared Shippo pulling Kioku close.

"Shippo! I know that look!" warned the female fox.

"What?"

"You're having naughty thoughts again!"

"Me? Never!"

"Then who was the one who almost bit my neck three days ago? Hmm?"

"I can't help it sometimes my dog half gets the better of me." explained Shippo.

"Just don't start acting like your father!"

"What I can't be a little protective? I mean Akakit will try to kidnap you again when we get back who knows what he hatched out by now?"

"All right I know what you mean! You won't back up this time till I let you mark me."

"You're damn right!"

"Well as much as I love you, I still won't let you! Not until I asked my parents!"

"Come on Kioku I just want to do it to keep that fox away from you. Next thing I know you'll be wanting a Nakodo to ask for your hand in my name!"

(A Nakodo is a person who is sent out to negotiate with the bride-to-be's family about the conditions of the marriage. This was a wide spread tradition between noble families in the medieval and it often happened that the ones to marry only met at the wedding.)

"Shippo!" snapped the female fox.

"What my dearest?"

"You just gave me a grand idea!" remarked Kioku with enthusiasm.

"Me and my big mouth!" growled Shippo to himself.

"What's wrong with it? It would be just like you'd be a mighty landlord!"

Shippo couldn't believe what he heard he knew that the word of her parents meant much to her and she probably wanted her parents blessing before mating but this was ridiculous Nakodo's were not in style between demons. "I'd prefer the simpler way. And besides why can't I mark you now? You'll become my mate even if your parents don't approve so what's the big deal about it."

"Calm down dear I was only joking with the Nakodo thing. About the marking forget it once we told my parents you can do it! Even if they don't approve but I don't think that would happen!"

"Kioku please! Please, please, please you can't be that mean!" answered Shippo snuggling closer to her.

"But I can be!"

"I promise I won't try anything naughty I'll be a good little fox!" whined Shippo.

"Now really Shippo I know you too long to believe that routine."

"I promise I'll keep myself under control! I swear on my honour!"

"Dear!" started Kioku in a schooling tone. "Don't swear on your honour we're both foxes!"

"I'm only half!"

"But you're more of a fox than dog!"

/Darn it! Well there's always a next time/ thought the male fox.

In the house Kagome was busy going through the things that she needed to get back to her own time with the instructions of Cologne. "Let's see I've mixed everything and now the stuff has to ferment for three hours."

"Yes after that we have to go to the old well that I used to bring you here!" continued the old amazon.

"And if you should make any trouble I asked Ranma to beat you till you won't be able to move ever again!"

"At least I would still be alive!" answered the Cologne.

"But you won't be even able to scratch your own nose! Now continue with your work before I get nasty!" countered Kagome.

"All right all right demon! I understand just get lost so I can get back to China I know when I'm beaten!"
