Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. I was very busy with work and I was trying to fight laziness. As you can see, laziness won out for quite a while. Now I'm back and in this chapter you will finally know what the other anime is! After much though, I decided that I would put one of the animes that you guys guessed later in the story. There will also finally be fighting going on, but I'm going to say ahead of time that I'm not really good at writing fighting scenes so bare with me.
Daniel Lynx: Thanks for reviewing my story. It nice to know that someone is reading.
Wow: You have a point. They are acting OOC. I'll keep in mind what you said, so in future chapters I'll try my best to keep them in character and develop a better story.
Well, that's about it so go on and read!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I think we established that fact in the last 10 chapters. However, I do own Kyle, Yumi, Kyo, Rei, and Risa. Although they like to argue otherwise...
Ch 12 Rescuing Spirit Detective Kyle Pt. 1
"Y-Yumi!"
Kyle looked at the girl in front of him. However there was something very wrong with her appearance. For one, the Yumi he knew was HUMAN. This girl had two ears on her head and fangs. Not only that but she also had claws. Then his eyes caught a tail moving behind her. She also had a bow and arrows strapped to her back. He growled at the girl.
"No, you can't be Yumi."
The girl smiled. "And why can't I?"
"Because Yumi was human! You're a hanyou."
The girl just continued to smile. Ranma was getting impatient. He had no idea what they were talking about. And what was a hanyou? However, he said nothing and continued to listen.
"Kyle. Is that your new name? Did you think that changing your name would change who you are?"
Kyle just glared at her. "Just tell me who you really are and what you want."
"You already said it yourself. I am Yumi. I know I look a little different, but I'm still me."
"That's impossible."
"Nothings impossible. After you were sealed away, I started to train to be a Miko, however it was hard to find someone willing to teach me in the village. They still would not forgive me for what happened. So, I left. I changed my name and appearance and travel for miles until I found one. I eventually came upon a hut in a forest. There I met a priestess named Kikyo. She immediately recognized who I was despite my best efforts to hide my true identity. None the less, She taught me everything she knew. During my time with her I found out something very interesting. I found out there were these collars especially made for inu-youkais. They were going to be used on your family, but that never happened because of the 'incident'. Then I found a prophecy that spoke of your release. At first I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure you could not be released from your seal. As I read the prophecy it told of you being controlled by the very same collar that was created those many years ago. Your master was going to use you to help him destroy this world. It never said how exactly, but I knew I wasn't going to let it happen."
"Is that why you want me to come with you? So you can control me instead of this 'master' of mine!"
"Not quite. Now if you would let me finish my story, you can find out what we need you for. I tried to get Kikyo to tell me where to find you, but she refused to tell me. So, I once again set off. This time to search for a way to prevent you from being released. My major problem was that there was no way to search every corner of the country. I wouldn't live long enough to accomplish that. Then I found a neko-youkai at the point of death. An idea hit me. If I could combine myself with this demon then I would be able to live for a very long time. I would be able to find you when you were released and prevent someone else from using you. So, without a second thought, I combined myself with this neko-youkai and became a Miko-hanyou. Now you're probably wondering why I would go through all this trouble, right?"
Kyle remained silent. "Because there is no way we want this world destroyed. You can help us destroy the one who wants to plunge this world into darkness. Some of my companions also want to know the location of a certain individual and they believe you know where to find him. So are we doing this the easy or the hard way?"
"I can take care of myself. No one can use me as their weapon."
"I'll take that as a no."
She lunged at Kyle with her claws extended. Kyle fell back as Yumi reached him. He grabbed her arms and flipped her over him. Just as gracefully as a cat, she landed on her feet. Again she charged him and swiped her claws at him. Kyle dodged them the best he could, but she was fast. Ranma watched from the distance. He could tell Kyle was having trouble with the girl. He was about to jump in to help, when someone knocked him back.
"Keep out of this fight human."
Ranma stoop up and looked at the person who hit him. It was a boy. He looked to be a little older than Ranma. He had fangs just like Kyle and that girl Yumi. His ears were a little pointed and he flexed his claws at Ranma. His black hair was spiked forward with some of his hair covering his right eye. He wore a dark blue long sleeve shirt with some baggy khaki pants.
"Do not interfere with their fight."
"And who are you to tell me what to do!"
"I'm only warning you once human. Try again and I will not hesitate to kill you."
"No one can come close to beating Ranma Saotome."
Ranma charged at the boy. "Katchu Tenshin Amiguriken!"
Ranma unleashed hundreds of punches at the stranger, who looked surprised. Ranma finished the combo by delivering a kick to the stomach. The boy was sent flying towards the school gate and into a wall.
"Take that!" Ranma said with a smirk. His smirk disappeared when the boy stood up from the rubble.
"It seems you are no ordinary human Ranma Saotome."
The boy charged at Ranma and delivered a punch to Ranma's stomach. Ranma's eyes widened. Then the boy kicked Ranma into a tree. "But no matter the circumstances, you are still just a human and humans are an easy kill."
Ranma sat up and glared at the boy. He wiped some blood away from his mouth. "I beat a half-god and you will go down just like him!"
Ranma jumped up and charged at the boy. He used the Katchu Tenshi Amiguriken against the boy again. This time, however, the boy anticipated this and blocked all the punches he could. The boy caught Ranma's arm and threw him towards the school. Ranma twisted his body to land on the wall of the building. He pushed off the wall and propelled himself towards his opponent. With that speed he delivered a punch to his face. The force of the impact sent him flying. The boy flipped in the air and dug his claws in the ground to slow him down. The boy stood up and felt something on his face. He lifted his hands up to his nose and ran his hand over it. He looked at his hand and saw blood. He glared at Ranma and let out a cry of pure rage. Ranma wasted no time in continuing his onslaught. However, the boy was having none of it. Ranma was about to punch his face again, but the boy ducked and head butted Ranma. Then he grabbed both of Ranma's hands and held it them behind Ranma's back. He pulled Ranma into a bone crushing hug.
"I will crush every bone in your body. No human can defeat me and you will certainly not be the first!"
Ranma remembered the fight he had had with Ryu. This was almost the same. Ryu had also had him in a similar position and was able to get out of it by wrapping a handkerchief around Ryu's head. The only problem was he had no handkerchief and no free arm. However, he did have one trick up his sleeve.
"Are you sure about that?"
The boy just merely stared at him. Ranma smirked. "Spirit Flames!"
Ranma's flames burst onto the boy, who quickly released him. The boys sleeves were on fire and he quickly ripped them off. Ranma sent fireballs at the boy. As the boy dodged, Ranma moved in closer and closer. When he was close enough, he sent a beam of flames at the boy, who then jumped into the air. Ranma let his flames die. "Got you. MOKO TAKABISHA!"
The boy was hit with Ranma's ki attack and fell to the ground. "HA! Take that!"
Ranma cautiously moved towards his fallen opponent. It looked like he was out for good. Suddenly he jumped up with his hands glowing. He delivered a series of punches at Ranma. Ranma was barely able to dodge a punch to his face that grazed his skin. Ranma could feel the blood running down his face. He knew he was in trouble. He needed to put this guy out. So he began move in a circular motion. He kept up his Soul of Ice technique as the boy kept trying to land a punch with his glowing green hands. The boy was radiating so much battle ki. Ranma figured he must have been extremely mad at him for messing up his face. Ranma saw he was reaching the center. Then he used the final move.
"Try to get up after this! HIRYU SHOTEN HA!"
The others where making their way to the school. Akane had gone to fetch Ryoga while Ukyo got the Amazons. They had met a on the way back to the school. They could see the gates of the school when a hoard of demons attack them. From the roof of the school two figures watched them.
"We just need to keep them busy until Yumi has obtained the inu-youkai." said one of the figures.
"Right. I think we need to summon a stronger demon. These are easy kill for them." the second one said.
"You're right. I think I know what we can use." the first one answered.
A black hole appeared in front of them and out steeped two bat like creature. They had the head of a vampire bat and could stand on two legs. They also had arms and pointy wings. "Attack them." the first figure ordered. The two demons screeched in response and headed towards their targets.
Down on the ground, the others had taken care of the demon hoard without any problems. Suddenly they heard a loud screech from the sky. They looked up to see two creatures flying towards them!
"What are those things?" Akane asked while she hit one last demon with her mallet.
"Move out of the way!" Ryoga exclaimed.
They jumped a safe distance from the landing spot of the two demon bats. The bats landed with a crash leaving a small crater. They jumped up and attack the first people they saw. Akane and Ukyo. Akane screamed when it flew at her. She immediately summoned her giant mallet and whacked it on the head. The demon bat staggered back holding it's head. Ryoga was furious. How dare it try to hurt his Akane!
"Shi Shi Hokodon!"
He sent a beam of his ki towards the bat sending it into a wall. He immediately went after it to keep it from attacking Akane again.
Ukyo got her giant spatula ready to deliver some serious pain to the bat. It lunged at her with it's claws extended. Ukyo jumped in the air and brought the spatula down on the demon. She flattened it into the ground. The amazons came in and helped as well. Ukyo moved to the side allowing the Amazons a piece of the action.
"Spirit Daggers!" Mouse implanted his daggers into the bats wings to keep it on the ground. The bat screeched in pain. They had to cover their ears from the horrible screech. The other bat that was fighting Ryoga heard it's brothers screech and lost interest in Ryoga. It flew to help it's brother.
"Look out!" Ryoga screamed.
Shampoo notice the bat flying towards them and summoned her Spirit Claws. She slashed the air and blades of energy flew at the bat. It tore into part of the bats wings and into it's body. The bat lost it's balance and crashed into the ground. Ryoga and Akane ran to join them.
"Did we win?" Akane asked.
Apparently the bat demons didn't think so because they got up and flew towards the air.
"I guess not." Mousse said. The bats opened their mouths. They let out a screech that sent sonic like waves at them. They braced themselves as the waves reached them. The force of the waves sent them crashing into various things. Ryoga stood up. He was going to end this. He walked towards the bats. He held out his arms.
"Come and get me!"
"Lost Boy loose mind!" Shampoo exclaimed.
"What are you doing Ryoga!" Ukyo screamed. "Are you trying to get yourself killed!"
"Just stay where you are!" The demon bats took up Ryoga's offer and flew at him. They extended their claws ready to chop him up into pieces. Ryoga smirked.
"SHI SHI HOKODON!" A towers of ki flew up into the sky and came crashing down onto the bats.
Meanwhile, Kyle was busy with his own fight against Yumi. He had stopped just trying to dodge and had
started to attack. Yumi was still using her claws as her main weapon.
"Spirit Gun!"
Yumi's claws began to glow a white. She just slashed at Kyle's attack to cancel it out. Kyle grimaced. This wasn't looking to good.
"Why don't you just transform? It would be easier for you to fight me in your demon form." Kyle glanced in Ranma's direction. Yumi smirked. "Oh, is that why. You haven't told them who you are. What a naughty boy. Guess I'll just have to discipline you."
She reached behind her back and drew her bow and several arrows and let them loose on Kyle. He summoned his spirit sword and slashed away at some arrows while dodging others. Kyle knew what could happen if he allowed an arrow to hit him. There was no way he was going to let her trap him. He had no other choice. If he was going to end this he needed to transform. "Shot Gun!" He aimed his attack towards the ground. His attack kicked up a cloud of dust. It blinded Yumi.
"Damn you!"
In the cover of the dust he transformed into his demon form. Some of his demon features, like his eyes and fangs, where already visible, but now he also had his claws and his ears became more pointy. A red crescent moon appeared on his forehead. Two blue slash marks appeared on each side of his cheek and on his wrists. A light blue tail hung over his shoulder as well. Now he was ready to end this.
Kyle was aware that she could probably hear his movement, so as he moved he shot his spirit gun. The more noise he made the better. Yumi could tell he was on the move, but the sound of the ground being blasted was interfering with her hearing. She expected him to attack from behind, but was surprised when she felt sharp pain in her stomach. Kyle unleashed some punches on her, but not enough to knock her out. He then pined her down on the ground.
"Stop this Yumi! I don't want to hurt you!"
The dust began to clear. Kyle could see her face. He looked into her eyes and saw a mixture of anger and…..concern? Suddenly her body began to glow white.
"Let me GO!"
"Shit!"
Yumi blasted him with some of her Miko energy. Since he was in his demon form, it hurt a hell of a lot worse. He looked down at his hands. They were burned from her energy. Being purified wasn't something that appealed to him.
'Damn it! Where are the others!'
That's when he saw a tower of ki not to far off in the distance. 'Ryoga….' Yumi's battle cry brought him from his thoughts. She sent her Miko energy at him in a beam of light. He jumped away towards some tree. In the corner of his eye he saw a tornado appear out of nowhere. He turned his head to get a better look at the phenomenon. 'Ranma!'
"I've got you!"
He whipped his head around in time to see an arrow glowing with energy come at him. He shot his Spirit Gun to destroy it, but the arrow cut right through it! There was no way for him to dodge it. He felt the arrow pierce his skin. The next thing he knew he was attached to a tree. Somehow the arrow was keeping him there. Yumi walked towards him. She stopped in front of him and caressed his cheek.
"Sleep."
Kyle couldn't help it his eyes became heavy. He reached into his pocket and took out the compact that Botan gave him. He dropped it on the ground and he allowed his eyes to close. His last thought were of a purple haired girl.
Yumi looked to where Ranma was fighting. She then looked towards the schools roof.
"Rei, grab Kyo and meet us back at our hide out! Risa help me with Kyle and lets get out of here!"
The two figures jumped off the roof and to their respective tasks.
The tornado spit out the boy. He crashed into the ground. Ranma walked towards his opponent. This time he didn't get up. Ranma gave a sigh of relief before another boy jumped between him and the unconscious boy. This one had spiky orange hair. He wore a sleeveless black shirt and baggy black pants. He had orange eyes and fangs just like the others.
"Kyo has to go now. You can play with him some other time."
He picked up the boy known as Kyo and slung him over his shoulder. He then ran out of the school and jumped on the roof of a house. He ran across the roof tops towards who-knows-where. Ranma was about to go after him when he remembered about Kyle. He ran to where he had been fighting and saw him. At first he thought he was just leaning up on the tree, but then he saw an arrow sticking out of his chest. Yumi and some other girl where chopping off some of the braches of the tree. The other girls had the same features of the others he had encountered. She had the same colored eyes as the guy who took Kyo. Her hair was orange and long.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
The girls turned to see him, but then they quickly went back to work. They pulled the tree up and jumped over the schools wall. They too jumped on the houses roofs and ran in the same direction as the other two boys. He was about to go after them when he heard someone calling his name.
"Ranma!"
"Saotome!"
Ranma turned around to see the others running towards him. They looked a little beat up. Akane ran up to him.
"What happened? Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, but….."
"Where's Kyle?" Ukyo asked as she looked around for him. Ranma was about to answer he heard a beeping sound. He walked to where the tree had been on. He saw the compact. He picked it up and opened it. The others gathered around him. Botan's face appeared on the screen.
"Kyle there…..Ranma? Where's Kyle?"
Ranma's face fell. They awaited his answer. "He's been kidnapped."
"What! This is just great! Kuwabara's been kidnapped too! Yusuke and the others are going after him right now!"
"Then we'll get Kyle back too. We'll talk later."
He closed the compact and put it in his pocket. He looked at his friends. "We need to find Kyle. Now!"
They nodded their heads in response. "I know which way they went. We just have to go in that direction and hopefully find them."
"That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard. What if we get lost!" Ryoga yelled.
"I'm not directionally challenged like you! We'll be fine."
"Why you…."
"Stop!" Shampoo screamed at them. "We need find Fang-boy. You fight later."
The boys glared at each other. "But it's not a good idea to just go like this. They probably know we're going to follow them." Akane added.
"She's right you know. They'll do whatever they can to try to trick us into going the wrong direction." Ukyo added.
"What do we do then? Time is running out!" Ranma said angrily.
"Why don't we use his stupid dog thing to track him down?" Mouse suggested.
Ranma looked at him with a smirk. "You know Mouse; that has got to be the only smart thing you have ever said to me. Let's go!"
Ranma picked up Akane and jumped on the roofs. He took off running towards the Nekohaten.
"You take that back Saotome! Get back here right now!" Mousse ran after the pig-tailed martial artist. Shampoo was right behind him with Ukyo and Ryoga running to catch up.
