Enter the Wolf
Chapter Six
As soon as he left Ookami closed the door and went to his bag to retrieve the wrapped bundle. He sat on the floor and unwrapped it reveling a picture frame holding the picture of a girl in her early twenties with short brown hair and brown eyes wearing glasses. "I really miss you." Ookami said sadly as he ran a finger along the side of the girls face.
For the first time since he had left home Ookami slept soundly without any dreams or nightmares. The next morning Ookami was awakened by the smell of breakfast being cooked. Leaving his new room he went in search for the furo with clean clothes under his arm soon after he was bathed and felt much better. After he dropped his dirty clothes back in his room he went to see if Kasumi needed any help with breakfast.
"Good morning Kasumi" said Ookami happily before asking "Need any help?"
"Oh, good morning Ookami would you mind setting the table?"
"No problem."
A minuet later the table was set and Ookami was waiting patently while watching Ranma and his father spar he recognized Genma's scent from yesterday. Finally after Genma was beaten and sitting in the koi pond Ookami stood and walked into the yard.
"Hey Ranma, ready for a real sparring partner?" said Ookami with a grin
"Anytime" replied Ranma cracking his knuckles
And so the match began nether fighter being able to land a blow without it getting blocked their speed was almost perfectly even, but due to his size Ookami was a bit stronger. Punches, kicks, knees, elbows, haymakers nothing worked and Ranma was getting frustrated 'Ok I've had enough' he thought before yelling out "Moko Takabisha!" and throwing a ball of ki at Ookami who tried to catch the ball in his left hand. As a result of this Okami was jumping around holding his left had screaming "HOT, HOT, HOT!" causing everyone to laugh.
"Not funny" Ookami mumbled before turning to Ranma "What the hell was that?"
"That was my 'Moko Takabisha' (Fierce Tiger Domineering)" Ranma said with pride
"Can you teach me that?" asked Ookami "after I get back the use of both hands that is"
"I don't know you don't have any training in the art I'm not sure you could learn it." answered Ranma
"Well if you teach me the art then I can learn that trick right?" Ookami asked
"I guess" said Ranma carefully
"Then why don't you teach me?" questions Ookami
"I can't I'm not a master." said Ranma
"Who is then the fat guy and the cry baby, either of us could beat them blindfolded with both arms tied behind our backs." Ookami pointed out as Genma and Soun shouted at being called fat and a cry baby. "No offense" at this they calmed down
"Well I guess you're right I'll start training ya after school" said Ranma
"Hey, you never offered to train me." complained Akane who was sitting on the porch with the rest of the family.
"She does have a point you can train both of us." remarked Ookami causing Akane to smile
"I can't hit Akane." Argued Ranma
"It's not like you would be hitting her to hurt her it would be to teach her so it would be ok." Stated Ookami calmly
"But hitting girls is against my code." Ranma shot back
"Same here but there are always exceptions to the rule." Reasoned Ookami
"But, Oh alright you win but I wont hit her hard." Sighed Ranma
"Breakfast is ready" Kasumi called causing Ranma to vanish in a blur only to reappear at the table. During breakfast everything went smoothly except when Genma tried to steal some of Ookamis food which resulted in Genma having one of his chopsticks stuck through his hand.
After breakfast Ookami once again helped Kasumi with the dishes before rejoining everyone back at the table except Soun and Genma who had already retreated to the shogi board.
"Ookami would you accompany us to school? I need your help in collecting some payments before class." asked Nabiki
"Sure no problem." answered Ookami
Soon after the four of them left on their way Ranma as usual was walking on the top of the fence as Akane and Nabiki walked on the ground, Ookami was walking a little ways behind them. As they walked they hear one of the most fearsome sounds in all of Nerima Shampoo's bicycle bell a moment later she came flying through the air towards Ranmas head, but this time she didn't make it her bicycle was caught by Ookami who before anyone could blink was on top of the fence holding the handlebars of Shampoo's bike.
"Who you?" Asked the purple haired amazon
"I think you mean 'who are you' but any way I'm Ookami a new friend of Ranma's" stated Ookami flatly before asking "And who are you?"
"I is Xian Pu, Ranma my airen." said Shampoo
"Airen? Ranma you didn't tell me you were married." said Ookami
"I'm not married she's talking about some stupid amazon law." yelled Ranma
"Amazon well that explains it." Ookami said before turning back to shampoo and saying in mandarin (no I don't speak mandarin but I thought it would be useful if my character did) "What tribe are you from?">
Surprised shampoo replies "I'm from the tribe at Joketsuzuko">
" I am Hitotsu Ookami from America nice to meet you but just call me Ookami"> said Ookami while jumping down from the fence and setting the girl and her bike on the ground.
"How did you catch my bike even my airen cant do that?"> asked Shampoo eliciting a chuckle from Ookami
"He could either stop you or dodge you at any point but he doesn't want to take the chance that anyone could get hurt so he lets you hit him"> States Ookami
"What are you two talking about?" asks Ranma
"Oh sorry I was just introducing myself" answered Ookami before saying "We should get going you don't want to be late. See you around Xian Pu"
The four continued on their way to the school leaving a stunned Shampoo behind. As they reached the school gates everyone's not so favorite bokken wielding idiot (oh who am I kidding everyone hates him) steps forward causing three out of four members of the group to groan in disgust.
"Today my beauteous Akane Tendo I tatewake kuno the Blue thunder of Furinkan High will free you and the pigtailed girl from the foul sorcerer Saotome." Stated kuno dramatically(Note: it is not a typo that I don't capitalize kunos name I hate the guy and don't think his name deserves to be capitalized)
"Who is this nut job?" asked Ookami pointing his thumb at the blue blunder
"That's kuno" said Ranma flatly
"Attack!" kuno screamed swinging his bokken at Ranma only to have it caught by Ookami between his thumb and forefinger
Ookami lets out a low rumbling growl before speaking "No one tries to hurt my friends."
"Who are thee foul knave who would protect the foul sorcerer Saotome." Asks kuno
"I'm the one who's gonna knock your teeth out if you don't shut up." Said Ookami
"Thou would not dare to lay a finger on the great tatewake kuno." Said kuno
Snapping kunos bokken in half Ookami growled "Wanna bet?"
"You could not harm me the great ..." kuno started before Ookami's fist in his face stoped him
"I told you to shut up now you will have no choice when your jaw is wired shut" Said Ookami before placing a jump kick in kunos jaw causing him to lift off of the ground. As kuno begins to come back to the ground Ookami lands a roundhouse to kunos ribs knocking the kendoist through the school wall.
Dusting off his hands Ookami say "That ought to shut him up."
The entire student populace can do nothing but stare at the newcomer who just sent kuno through a wall.
"Not bad Ookami but I think you went a little too far." Said Nabiki dryly "Now lets get to work before the bell rings."
As soon as these words left Nabiki's mouth that is exactly what happened.
"Well I guess business can wait until lunch just wait around and meet me by the door at lunch." Said Nabiki before she proceeded to walk off.
Shaking his head Ookami leapt into the nearest tree to take a nap. Lunch came and went Nabiki had no problem collecting the debts because the people would take on look at Ookami and hand over whatever money they had in their pockets before fleeing in terror.
After school Ranma began training Ookami and Akane in Anything goes martial arts. Ookami turned out to be the perfect sparring partner for Akane he wasn't afraid to hit her hard enough to knock the wind out of her but still didn't use his full strength seeing as how he didn't want her in the hospital.
"Ya did great today Akane." said Ranma proudly
"If I did so great how come Ookami hit me so many times and he's just now learning?" snapped Akane
"Easy I'm faster than you but you have a pretty good defense until you get mad that is." Said Ookami offhandedly
"Oh ok I guess that's ok." Said Akane
"Why don't you try meditation it might help you with the anger problem." Said Ookami
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to try." Answered Akane
"Alright maybe if the tomboy gets her temper under control she won't hit me so much." Said Ranma
"RANMA NO BAKA!" yelled Akane swinging mallet-sama just to have it be caught by Ookami
"Akane this is what I was talking about you let your anger control you." said Ookami before turning to Ranma
"Ranma what's wrong with tomboys I've known a few and I don't see a problem with it, it just makes a girl more fun to hang out with." Says Ookami to Ranma
"You're calling me a tomboy too?" asks a hurt Akane
"Yes, but what I'm saying is that it's not a bad thing it's a good thing." Answers Ookami "Don't you think Ranma?" asks Ookami glaring at the boy in question
"Yeah that's right being a tomboy is a good thing." Said Ranma knowing if he didn't agree he would have both Ookami and Akane to deal with.
Akane just smiled and walked happily up the stairs to her room.
"Ranma you really need to think before you speak." Said Ookami
"I know man but whenever I'm around her I just can't help it I don't know why." said Ranma while looking at the floor.
"I think I know why." Said Ookami with a grin
"Why?" asked Ranma
"You like her." stated Okami the grin never leaving his face
"ME LIKE THAT TOMBOY YOU'RE OUTA YOUR MIND!" Yelled Ranma in denial
"Lie all you want but I can see the truth. It's obvious the way you look at her." said Ookami
Looking around to make sure no one could see him Ranma motioned for Ookami to follow him and lead him to the roof.
"Ok ya caught me but ya can't tell anyone."said Ranma
"Why would I tall anyone and what are you afraid of?" asked Ookami
"If our parents find out Akane and me'll be married before we can blink." said Ranma
"That's what you're afraid of?" asked Ookami
"No not really it just that if I show that I like Akane all my fiancee's will try to kill her and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened." said Ranma "But also there is a lot of honor tied up in all of this if I marry one of them the others will lose honor and it'll hurt their feelings."
"Ok explain everything from the beginning and maybe I'll be able to help." said Ookami
"Really?" asked an excited Ranma
"I can't promise anything but I'll do my best to help." answered Ookami
Over the next hour Ranma explains about all of his fiancee's and the circumstances surrounding each engagement. Soon after dinner Ookami sits in his room thinking about how he can help his friend before falling asleep.
Dragon Man 180: Hope you like what I did to kuno although half of the things i wanted to to involved very sharp knives and kuno being dead at the end but I wouldn't want that wothless piece of shit's blood on my charaters hands so I settled for breaking a few bones. As for Ryoga I don't think he'll be comming back except maybe by popualr demand (people who want to see more pain inflicted on pig boy).
AN: That's it for chapter six I hope you enjoyed it. I think I found a way to get rid of the amazons but I could still use any suggestions. Also I'm really gonna need help with that romance junk otherwise I'll just have to copy and paste from other fics cause I have zero experience with that kind of stuff.
