Enter the Wolf
Chapter Seven
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.
Unlike the previous night Ookami doesn't sleep soundly he had a nightmare that has been plaguing him since before his transformation.
Dream Sequence>
Ookami is sitting on the floor in a dark room he's bound in someway because he can't move, to his left he hears a girl screaming "HELP ME PLEASE!" but he can't see her face. Something in Ookami knows that this girl is important to him so he struggles with all of his might to get to her, to help her, to save her but no matter hard he tries he cant get to her. In front of Ookami is man holding a gun unlike anything Ookami has ever seen in real life it has a White thumb hole stock most likely mad of fiberglass or something similar and a silver barrel. He sees this man turn towards the girl and struggles harder but to no avail. And then all at once it happens, he hears the shot and sees the flash of the barrel in the dark and can see and smell the blood as it splatters on the wall and then everything goes silent. That ungodly silence is broken only when Ookami screams. As he continues to scream out his pain at the loss of a loved one the man with the gun turns to him but he doesn't care. He had watched her die and now it was his turn Ookami looked up still screaming and saw one last time as the barrel of the gun flashed.
End Dream>
Ookami sat straight up in a cold sweat and screamed "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
A few moment later Ranma burst through the door "What's wrong man?"
"It's nothing just a nightmare go back to sleep." said Ookami waving the boy away
"If you say so." muttered Ranma before he quietly shut the door and went back to his room passing by Akane on his way.
"What happened?" Akane asked
"He had a nightmare." answered Ranma
"It must have been bad even you don't scream that loud when you have nightmares." Akane pointed out.
"Yeah but he didn't wanna talk about it so there's nothin I can do" said ranma
"Yeah I guess you're right" said Akane turning around to go back into her room
"Hey Akane." said Ranma
"Yeah?"
"Good night" muttered Ranma before walking into his room and closing the door behind him
"Good night Ranma" said Akane quietly before going back to bed. Unseen by either of them was Nabiki peeking out of her door with a raised eyebrow wondering 'what's gotten into them?'
The next morning everything was back to normal or as normal as thing get around the Tendo dojo. Ranma instead of sparring with Genma was sparring with Ookami who seemed to be back to his cheerful self. After breakfast Ookami once again accompanied Ranma, Akane, and Nabiki to school. This time instead of taking his customary place on the fence he stayed on the ground walking next to Akane.
"What's with you two, you haven't fought once today?" asked Nabiki
"Nothing's wrong we just didn't have anything to fight about." answered Akane
Saying that was a mistake because everyone knows if things are calm around Ranma Saotome then that's a mockery of the gods and they just can't allow that.
Once again Shampoo came riding her bike of doom towards Ranma yelling "Airen, airen, you take Shampoo on date. Yes?" But instead of running Ranma over like she normally does she stops in front of him (Something must have finally gotten through that thick head of hers), and jumps off to give him the trademark 'amazon glomp' (Maybe not)
Akane starts to glow blue as she growls "Ranma you let go of that bimbo right now."
"I'm not touching her Akane I swear, she grabbed me." pleads Ranma
"Who kitchen destroyer call bimbo?" asks Shampoo menacingly
"Ladies break it up" said Ookami as he steps forward
"Why? She started it." argued Akane
"I don't care who started it I'm finishing it." stated Ookami
"Shut up stupid male mind own business." said the amazon
"My friends are my business, now let him go." said Okami coldly
"What you do if shampoo don't?" Asks Shampoo
"You really don't want me to answer that." replies Ookami staring at the amazon with eyes devoid of all emotion.
Shampoo lets go of Ranma to take a step away from Ookami she has seen that look before it's the look of someone who has killed and isn't afraid to do it again. "You blooded warrior?"
"That's right." answers Ookami
"I sorry Shampoo not know." Said Shampoo bowing to Ookami
"Now that you do know go to you're elder and tell her I will be by later today to speak with her." Said Ookami
"Shampoo go right away."Said the girl before hopping on her bike and taking off in the direction of the Nekohanten
"What's a blooded warrior?" asks Ranma
"A blooded warrior is someone who has killed. In Xian Pu's tribe a blooded warrior is ranked the same if not higher that a female depending on what the person kills or how many people they kill." said Ookami
"So does that mean I'm ranked the same as Shampoo in her tribe?" Asks Ranma with hope in his voice
"If what Nabiki told me about Saffron is true than you would be ranked about as high as an elder for killing a demigod but that's just a guess."
"Wow" the three teenagers said as one
"Don't you three need to get to school?" asked Ookami
"Oh crap!" they once again said as one before they started running
A chuckling Ookami followed close behind them
They all kept running until they heard someone cry "Hold!" causing all four of them to stop and groan in annoyance.
"Didn't I beat enough sense into you yesterday?" Ookami asked not expecting an answer
"Coward Saotome stop hiding behind this knave whom you have enchanted with your foul sorcery." kuno bellowed
"Alright kuno you want to see sorcery watch this." Ookami said as he removed he shirt
Ookami stood in front of kuno and began the transformation growing fur, sprouting ears and a tail, extending his fingernails into claws, and his teeth into fangs.
"Ok how's that for sorcery dip-shit?" said Ookami
"It is worse than I thought the foul sorcerer has aligned himself with a werewolf." said kuno
"Ok I've had enough of being called a werewolf. Ranma you want a piece of this idiot?"
"Oh yeah" answered Ranma
With that both Ookami and Ranma began to beat kuno into a bloody bruised and broken mess the only way that you could identify which end of kuno was which was the bokken sticking out of his ass. (Double beating Idea courtesy of Dragon Man180)(bokken was my idea though)
Both satisfied that kuno was sufficiently beaten Ranma walked to class as Ookami changed back put his shirt back on and followed Shampoo's scent to the Nekohanten.
"Hello again Xian Pu where is the elder"> said Ookami as he entered the restaurant (incase you didn't already figure it out I'll be using " "> for speaking mandarin)
"Great grandmother is in the back."> Shampoo said with a bow
"Thank you Xian Pu, and you don't have to bow to me."> Ookami replied before heading to the back to speak with the elder.
As he walked through the door he caught a wooden staff in his right hand "Is this how you greet all your guests elder?"> asks Ookami as he lets go of the staff
"You're good boy who are you?"> asks Cologne
"I am Hitotsu Ookami but I prefer being called just Ookami."> replied Ookami before asking "What is your name elder?">
"My name is Ku Lon of the amazons."> the old woman replied
"What did you want to speak to me about young man?"> Asks Cologne hopping back to the stove on her staff
"Actually I came here to speak about my new friend Ranma."> said Ookami
"Oh and why did you want to talk about son-in-law?"> asks Cologne
"You have no right to call him that and you know it Ku Lon"> said Ookami
This causes the old amazon to stop cooking and turn to Ookami "What are you talking about boy, he defeated Xian Pu and she gave him the kiss of marriage.">
"Oh but you are forgetting that he is a blooded warrior and as such has the right to decline the kiss of marriage."> said Ookami with a wolfish grin (pardon the pun)
"How do you know that?"> asked the shocked amazon elder
"Oh I know many things Ku Lon."> answered Ookami
"If I kill you then you can never tell Ranma."> stated Cologne
"There in lies the problem elder you can't kill me I'm just as strong as Ranma and much like him I could wipe your village off of the earth if I choose to."> Said Ookami in a deadly serious tone.
"Oh no."> said a horrified Cologne
"Oh yes and if you don't stop this foolishness I 'will' do it."> Said Ookami
"Alright you win we will go back to China."> said a defeated Cologne
"Who said anything about you having to go back to China?"> laughed Ookami
"What?"> asked the disbelieving amazon elder
"You don't have to leave unless you want to that is. Ranma considers you friends plus I think he's hoping you will teach him some new techniques."> said Ookami before saying "Now that this matter is cleared up maybe we can get along I would be very grateful if you would share your knowledge with me.">
"I like the sound of that young man come back sometime and we can have a talk."> said Cologne "Now would you like to tell Ranma the good news or should I?>
"I think it would be better if you told him why not come by the Tendos around dinner time."> replied Ookami
"I will do that young man."> said Cologne
Shortly after that Ookami could be seen walking back to the Tendos with a smile on his face the first part of his plan complete next he had to take care of the parents. This was going to be fun.
