AN: I'm baaaaack! You know I never realized how hard it is to update two stories within reasonable time of each other. It's like I get ideas for the other and I'm blank on the other one. Well, now I decided to get back into this one since I hadn't updated for awhile.

Kyle: Finally! I swear your spending more time on your other story than on this one.

DT: Sorry, but I had more ideas for the chapters and I got caught up.

Ukyo: Not only do you spend less time on us, but you started ANOTHER story!

DT: Don't hurt me! I'll spend more time updating this one! I promise!

Ukyo: You better remember that promise or I'll teach you a lesson.

Kyle: Now, now, Ukyo. We can't hurt her otherwise she won't be able to write if she's in a coma.

Ukyo: Good point. Just get to work!

DT: (Whimpers) Your so mean! Lets do Reviewer Feedback. That always makes me feel better.

Xeno: I figured you meant sweet. I know it couldn't have been sweat, but if it was then I'd just be confused.

Mika: I'm glad you always enjoy my chapters. It makes them worth writing.

KamiKaze no Kage: The way I see it, a hectic live is sort of better than a boring one. Though he'll have to watch himself if he wants to make sure Shampoo doesn't sit him anymore. Oh and just to let you know, Shinn is the one that's sealed. Lin is Kyle's real name. Sorry if that confused you. Naraku is like an annoying bug that just won't go away, but he does make a great villain. I'll give him that at least.

Okay well that does it for Reviewer Feedback.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma 1/2 , Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, or Sailor Moon. Suing the broke college student would be cruel and just plain mean.

Ch 24 New Priorities

Kyle sighed as he sat down on a park bench near his aunts house. They had just had the talk and it wasn't what he wanted to hear.

Flashback

Kyle sat in the living room with his aunt and uncle. They had sent Sakura and Kei out for a little bit while they talked. Kyle kept a passive face up, but inside he was dreading what they were about to tell him. It must be bad if they didn't want his cousins to find out.

"Kyle, what we are about to tell you may shock you, but remember that ultimately Naraku is to blame." Kagome said.

Kyle nodded for them to continue.

"Naraku," Inuyasha began, "Created your mother."

"W-what?" he said in disbelief.

"I know it's hard to believe, but she wasn't the only one that was created. She just happened to be the one who wanted to be freed from Naraku. That's why she tried to get your father to help." Kagome answered.

"But how! How could that bastard have created my mother!"

Kagome sighed. "As Naraku gained power, he also gained new abilities. One of them was his ability to spawn demons from himself. Your mother had no choice but to obey him since he held her heart. Literally. If she disobeyed him, he would have destroyed her."

Kyle looked down at the floor. "I-I can't believe it, but if what you say is true then," he looked at his hands. "Am I and Naraku……"

He did finish since Kagome stood up abruptly. "Don't say that! You are nothing like him! You aren't a heartless murderer!. You don't use people as your pawns to get what you want! You have a heart and you care about your friends and family! Don't ever compare yourself to him! Got that?"

Kyle gave her a small smile and nodded. "Good." Kagome said satisfied.

Inuyasha looked at his nephew. "There's more. Toukijin is also made from one of Naraku's reincarnations."

Kyle rubbed his forehead. "Okay how did that happen?"

Inuyasha sighed. "Well your father and I never did quite see eye to eye. I had the Tetsusaiga and he wanted it, but he couldn't wield it. He found out one of Naraku's reincarnations managed to break my sword. So, he found the demon and had a sword smith make a sword out of it's fangs."

Kyle stood up and walked over to a window. Too many thoughts plagued his mind.

"I know that must have been a lot to take in, but we're here and we'll help you through it. Your mother never asked to be born through him. As for the sword, your father knew what he was doing. You shouldn't dwell on it too much. " Inuyasha said.

Kyle nodded. "With that out of the way, we have decided about what to do next." Inuyasha stated.

"What?"

"We're still going on vacation." Kagome answered. "I've been looking forward to this for a long time and I'll be damned if I let Naraku ruin it."

End Flashback

Kyle shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe they were still going camping even after what had happened. According to Kagome, it was better to show Naraku that his presence did not scare them. Now that he though about it, it was actually a good idea. With the performance he gave the other day, he probably though he would have them cowering in fear. His aunt and uncle knew more about Naraku than he did, so it was a good idea to take their advice. He was doubly glad to know that his aunt carried the legendary Shikon Jewel with her at all times. From what they told him, that's what Naraku had been after before. Still they couldn't rule out the possibility that he was going to use Shinn to not only kill them all, but to also get the jewel for him.

He rubbed his forehead. There was way too much going on and on top of all that, he was going to have to work together with Yumi to find his brother. He wasn't sure if he was ready for that. Even after so many years, he could still feel the pain. It hadn't gone away. Only lessened. Shampoo wouldn't be to happy to know that either. How was he going to tell her, much less explain. Her jealous rages were getting almost as bad as Akane! He shuddered at the though. He needed to fix that problem before it got out of hand. She could do more damage to him with the darned necklace than Akane could to Ranma with her mallet. At least he is able to dodge or something. He didn't have that option. Once she said the magic word, there was nothing he could do to keep his face from kissing the ground. How could things get worse?

"You shall be vanquished evil demon!"

He slapped his forehead. Didn't he learn NOT to ask that question. Things tended to get worse when he did. He stood up from the bench and looked behind him. There was a very peculiar scene. To him at least and to any sane person. There were six girls in, what he though, looked like a school girls uniform that was extremely flashy. Not to mention had short skirts. The color of the collar and skirts were different colors for each of them. There was a girl with red, blue, orange, green, and pink. He assumed the one with the blue collar and yellow and blue skirt was the leader. It was kinda of obvious since her outfit also had, again what he assumed, was a giant bow tied in the shape of the butterfly. It made her stand out more than the others.

'Hmm, there's something familiar about these girls.' He though as he continued to examine them.

"So, uh, who are you guys?" he was more curious to find out who they were than what they were going to do to him.

The leader pointed at him. "I am Sailor Moon and in the name of the Moon." Then she went through a series of poses. "We shall punish you!"

Kyle was kind of dumbfounded by what just happened. "Uh, okay. Why?"

The girl with the red collar and skirt stepped up. "Because you are a demon and therefore evil. You must be vanquished!"

Something about that girl was familiar. He took a step towards them. They recoiled and got into defensive positions.

"Okay girls, lets do this!"

They all charged at him. Kyle didn't really want to hurt them, but he wasn't going to let them hurt him either. Sailor Moon and a short girl with a pink collar and skirt charged at him together.

"Take this." They said. "Double Sailor Moon Kick!"

Kyle easily side stepped their attack. They ended up landing on one leg only to trip and fall flat on their faces. He was about to ask if they were okay when he heard another attack.

"Sparkling Wide Pressure!"

"Venus Love-Me Chain!"

He managed to dodge the disk of electricity, but the chain of hearts managed to wrap around him.

"Now is our chance! Attack him together!" Sailor Moon said after she had recovered from her fall.

'Oh, crap.' Kyle though to himself.

"Sparkling Wide Pressure!"

"Venus Love-Me Chain!"

"Shine Aqua Illusion!"

"Burning Mandala!"

"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"

All the attacks hit their mark. "Now Sailor Moon!"

Sailor Moon got out her Spiral Heart Moon Rod and went through some poses. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!"

There was an explosion. The Scouts covered their eyes. Once it was safe, they looked at the spot where Kyle had been standing. Only a burn mark on the grass remained. They all cheered.

"We did it! The demon has been destroyed!" Sailor Moon said happily.

"Uh, I hate to ruin the celebration, but who's going to pay for my clothes?"

"Huh?" they all said. They turned around to find that Kyle was okay. Save for his singed clothes and hair.

"But, but…how?" they questioned.

Instead of answering he appeared in front of the girl with the red uniform. The other scouts were about to attack, when he stopped them with one word.

"Rei?"

The scouts almost went into a panic. Kyle smiled and nodded. "Yup, it's you alright. What's the big idea? I haven't done anything to deserve that kind of treatment."

"Uh, er, you must have me confused with someone else." The girl responded.

Kyle crossed his arms over his chest. "Don't play dumb with me Rei. I smell it's you."

That earned him a slap. "Are you saying I stink!" she said with a blush.

Kyle calmly rubbed the red spot on his cheek. "No."

"Then what do you mean!" Rei screamed.

"Look, I'm a demon dog. I have a very good sense of smell. Every individual has their own personal scent. That's how I could tell that you were you. Now I have been meaning to ask you something."

"What?" she said cautiously.

"What's with the get-up?" he said pointed to her clothes. "And are those your friends over there." He asked pointing to the other scouts.

Rei was hesitant to answer anything. Well, he already knew it was her. There was no way she could keep denying that. Kyle could sense her hesitation.

"I promise I won't tell anyone about your…..secret lives."

Sailor Moon walked over to Rei and slung her arm around her. "Oh, come on Rei! He knows already. Besides, he promised he wouldn't tell."

"Oh fine."

"Before you start, you should change into some normal clothes. I don't know about you, but this isn't exactly a normal scene at the park. We wouldn't want to attract attention."

They nodded and in a flash of light, they were in normal clothes.

"Great, so why don't we start with names. I didn't get a chance to meet you properly yesterday. What with all the commotion and what not."

"I'm Chibi-Usa!"

"The names Makoto Kino"

"You can call me Minako Aino."

"It's a pleasure. My name is Ami Mizuno."

"And I'm Usagi Tsukino. You've already met our dear friend Rei." Usagi said.

Kyle smiled at them warmly, despite the fact they wanted to destroy him just a few minutes ago. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. In case you didn't know, I'm Kyle Ookami. You can just call me Kyle. I don't mind."

'Maybe he's not so bad after all.' Rei though to herself. Not that she was going to tell him that.

So, the scouts had a seat at the bench Kyle had been sitting on. He stood in front of them while they told him about their jobs as Sailor Scouts.

--------------

Ranma and Akane were heading over to Ucchans to warn Ukyo of the current danger. Along they way they had passed the Nekohaten. They found a very irritated Amazon sweeping in front of the café. Shadow was loyally as her side. Apparently, Kyle had not returned from his visit to his aunt and uncles. He had left in the morning and it was close to four by now. They could see why she was in distress. She was worried he was off flirting with some other girls. Ranma did his best to stick up for his friend, but Akane made things worse by comparing him and Kyle. That's when Hiei appeared out of no where. He was there to get Shadow. It seemed that Yukina was getting kind of lonely since everyone was busy trying to track Naraku or looking for Shinn. Hiei knew Kyle wouldn't mind if Shadow was away for an undisclosed period of time. Especially if it was to help a friend. After he left, they went back to talking. However it still wasn't looking good for Kyle.

Ranma and Akane left before any more damage could be done to Kyle's image. Ranma looked at Akane from the corner of his eye.

"Thanks for being such help with Shampoo." He said sarcastically.

"Oh please. It's his own fault for being such a playboy like you."

"What do ya mean? In case ya haven't noticed, I haven't had any girls trying to force feed men, glomp me, or try to marry me since Kyle came. Ukyo's seems to have settled down a bit, Shampoo's not after me, and Kodachi has been mysteriously missing for the past month. Not that I'm complaining."

"Hmph, well if you were more clear about the relationship you had with those girls, then they wouldn't have been chasing after you in the first place." Akane huffed.

"I've told them that I didn't want to date or marry them! How much more clear can I get!"

"No you haven't! You've dated Shampoo just for the chance of getting a cure, you keep Ukyo around because she gives you free food, and I don't know why Kodachi still goes after you. You've been leading all of us on!"

"So your saying this was my fault!"

"Well, duh. If you had done something from the beginning instead of just ignoring the problem, you wouldn't have had to worry about these girls!"

Ranma stopped walking. "I got one off my back ya know!"

"Like it was your doing! You're lucky that Kyle came around to fix one problem for you. So, why don't you stop being such a jerk and fix the others!"

"Not everything is my fault! Besides, your not very clear with our relationship either!"

"What do you mean!"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe it's the moments when you show your intense dislike for me!"

"Uh, guys?"

"How do you expect me to react when girls are all over you!"

"Guys?"

"It would be nice if ya didn't hit me for one!"

"GUYS!"

They stopped arguing to see who was yelling at them. Ukyo was standing in front of her restaurant with Konatsu. It seemed like they had been yelling at each other in front of the restaurant. They composed themselves before saying anything else.

"Uh, hi Ucchan."

"Ranma-honey, what's going on?"

"What? Akane and me are always fighting."

"Okay, if you say so. Come on in."

The four of them walked into the restaurant and sat down at one of the tables.

"So, how have ya been Konatsu?" Ranma asked the ninja.

"I so happy to be able to work with my Ukyo-sama!"

"I see. How's your family?"

"They are fine. They did not mind that I came to live here."

"No big surprise there." Ranma commented.

"Why'd you really come Ranma-honey?"

Ranma looked seriously at both of them. "Yesterday, a very strong demon fought Kyle."

"Is he okay?" she asked concerned.

"He's fine." Akane answered her. "He went to his aunt and uncles today to find out more about this demon."

Ranma nodded. "We came to tell you to keep on the look out. This guy seems to have Kyle's aunt and uncle worried. We don't know what he might do, but we think he might attack Kyle's friends and family. Since you know him, there's a good chance you're gonna be targeted too."

"Does everyone know?"

"Everyone but Ryoga. He's still lost and we can't exactly find him till he shows up." Ranma said.

"If you see him before us, can you tell him?" Akane asked Ukyo.

"Sure." She turned to Konatsu. "Got that? If you see the guy with the bandana make sure you bring him here. We wouldn't want him to get lost again if we find him."

"Yeah, then we wouldn't be able to find him till he showed up again. That's a real pain in the neck sometimes." Ranma said a bit annoyed. "Well, we gotta go. Just wanted to warn ya."

"Thanks guys."

"If you see anything suspicious, call us or Cologne. Okay?" Akane said.

Ukyo gave her a thumbs up. "You got it."

Ranma and Akane walked out of the restaurant and back towards the Tendo Dojo. Their mission was complete.

---------------------

Kyle was running back towards the Nekohaten. The sun was already setting. He really hadn't expected to be out so late. There was no way he could have known he was going to be attacked by the Sailor Scouts. After they had explained to him about their double lives, they invited him to eat lunch with them. Since he hadn't eaten anything he accepted. Then afterwards, they went to an arcade. That took up a lot of time too. He slowed down and began to walk. He hoped Shampoo wasn't mad. Knowing her, she probably though he had been out all day flirting with girls. Though that statement wouldn't be too incorrect. He had been out some of the day with girls, but he most certainly was not flirting with them. As he walked by the Tendo Dojo he felt that someone was following him. He continued with his even pace until he got some distance from the dojo. Whoever it was, was still following him. He stopped walking.

"I know your there. Show yourself."

The person stepped out of the shadows. Kyle smirked. He was planning to talk to her sooner or later. He might as well do it now.

"Good evening, Miss Nabiki Tendo." He said as he turned to face her.

Nabiki smirked at him too. "How did you know it was me?"

"Please Nabiki. I can't give away all my secrets. What do you want?"

"Just seeing if you are going to carry out your threat."

"That depends. Are you here to blackmail me?"

"Perhaps."

"Look Nabiki, I have been meaning to talk to you. I have a feeling I'm gonna need your help."

Nabiki raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and what's in it for me?"

Kyle sighed. "I'm willing to tell you what's going on and on top of all that, you'll be paid handsomely for any help you may provide me with."

"Are you rich or something?" she asked skeptically.

"No, but I have...connections."

"So, what do you have to say?"

Kyle transformed into his demon form. Nabiki took a step back. "Those pictures you took. They showed these markings. Right?"

Nabiki nodded. "Well, the reason I look like this is because I am a demon. Not just any demon though. To be more specific, I'm a demon dog. These markings are there to show that I am a inu-youkai. Same with the moon on my forehead. Nabiki, you can't tell anyone about what I really am. The majority of the human race has long forgotten about the demons that use to rule over these lands. No one knows that there are demons who live among them and it needs to stay that way. For your silence and those pictures plus negatives, I'll pay you 11,723 yen." (that's about 100 dollars, I think.)

"What? You'd pay me that much to keep quite."

Kyle nodded. "It's very important to make sure that isn't made public."

"And if you ask for my help in the future, your going to pay me too."

Kyle nodded again. Nabiki smiled. She was going to make a boat load of money.

"Oh, and one more condition."

Nabiki nodded for him to continue. "You have to stop collecting bets on Ranma's fights and taking pictures of him in either of his forms."

"What? I don't think so. I make a good amount of money for my family off of those. Besides, the money goes to paying for damages to my house and the food he and that fat panda eat."

"You won't have to worry about that. Ranma will start paying rent soon. Trust me. Also, if you help me I'll put in a good word for you with my…employer. He might hire you and if he does, you'll hardly have to leave your house to do the work."

"How well does your employer pay?"

"A lot more than what I'm giving you and he pays per week."

Nabiki though for a moment. "I'll give it a try. Two months. I'll stop taking pictures of Ranma for two months, but your employer has to hire me. If I like it I'll stick with it. Deal?"

Kyle had to think. He would have to convince Koenma to give her a job, but it would be well worth it. She had great skills for acquiring information, which was something they would need to find Shinn.

"Okay Nabiki. You got yourself a deal." He said as he transformed back into his human form.

He and Nabiki shook on it. Kyle handed over the money and Nabiki handed over the pictures and negatives. After that, Kyle resumed his walk to the Nekohaten. After a few minutes he reached the café. He got a bad feeling. Hesitating for a moment, he readied himself for what was about to come. He walked in. It was dark and only one light shown on a table. There was Shampoo. She sat with her arms and legs crossed and a scowl on her face.

"Hi Shampoo." He said as nicely as he could.

"Where you been all day?"

"Uh, well I went to my aunt and uncle's and left a bit after noon. I sat at the park for a few minutes when I ran into someone."

Shampoo stood up and walked over to him. "You hang out with friend until now?" she stressed 'now'.

"No. I ran into Nabiki on the way back. I had to do some dealing so she'd hand over the pictures she took when I fought Mousse."

Shampoo stood directly in front of him. She looked directly into his eyes. "Who your friend?"

His answer could earn him a 'sit', especially if he lied. Deciding that he'd rather tell the truth than face her wrath if he lied, he told her what had happened. Excluding the part that they were Sailor Scouts of course. After he was done Shampoo still looked at him funny.

"I promise that's all that happened."

Shampoo said nothing and leaned against him. "Stupid Fang-boy." That's when she noticed his clothes were singed.

"What happen to clothes."

"Well Rei tried to get rid of me again." He said with a shrug. Shampoo shook her head.

Kyle smirked. With out warning, he scooped her up in his arms. Shampoo 'eeped' in surprise. Kyle carried her bridal style up the stairs. Shampoo wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What you doing?"

"Carrying you to our room. What? Am I not allowed to carry my wife where ever I please?"

Shampoo smiled at him and nuzzled closer to him. They reached the top of the stairs only to run into Mousse. He saw them and went into a frenzy. Fortunately for them, Cologne was there and splashed Mousse with cold water. She smiled at the couple.

"Glad to see your back Son-in-Law. What did your aunt and uncle decide?" Cologne questioned him.

"They said we're still going camping."

"Really?" Cologne asked. Truth be told, she was surprised at their decision.

Kyle nodded. "Yeah, they said it's best to show him that we're not scared of him. That and my aunt has been looking forward to this trip and she'll "be damned if Naraku ruins it.""

Cologne smiled at what he said. "I suppose we should ready ourselves for this weekend."

"That's right. Now if you excuse me, I'm kind of tired and I want to go to bed."

Cologne smiled even more at that. Kyle looked at her suspiciously. She went into her room before he could ask anything. Mousse-duck was quaking at him non stop. So he kicked him down the stairs. He turned and went to his and Shampoo's room. When he walked in, his eye twitched. Cologne had removed his bed. He was left with the choice of sleeping on the ground, or on Shampoo's bed. Shampoo giggled. He looked down at her.

"Did you know about this?"

"I not tell."

Kyle sighed and walked over to Shampoo's bed. He set her down, but she pulled him down with her.

"Shampoo……" he said as he mock glared at her.

Shampoo looked at him mischievously. "You not go anywhere tonight."

Kyle sighed, but wasn't complaining. He settled down and decided to go to sleep.

--------------------------

At the Tendo Dojo, Nabiki was happily counting the money Kyle had given her. Ranma, Akane, Genma, and Soun stared at her. They wondered who she blackmailed this time. She got up and disappeared up the stairs. A few minutes later she came back with a load of pictures. Most of Ranma with some of Akane thrown in.

"Here you go." She told them.

Ranma looked at some of them with disgust. "Why are you giving these to us?"

"For the next two months I'm going to be working for your friend Kyle."

"What!" they said in disbelief.

"He said he could get me a very good paying job if I stopped blackmailing, collecting bets, and taking pictures of you. Though he didn't mention Akane. Still, I'll stop taking pictures of Akane too. Compared to what I'm going to get, that money is just chump change. However, after the two months is up, I can decide whether I like the job or not. So watch out then, I might go back to my dealings."

With that said she left and went up to her room. Akane and Ranma continued to look through some of the pictures. They assumed she was keeping the negatives just in case she didn't end up liking her job. Whatever that was. Soun went after his daughter to find out what exactly she was going to be doing. Kasumi walked in and brought them some tea. She served them each a cup and then sat down herself. She picked up one of the many pictures on the table.

"Oh my. When did she take this Akane?"

Akane snatched the picture out of Kasumi's hand. It was a picture of her in the bath tub. Ranma looked over her shoulder and gaped at the photo. With out another word, they both ran up the stairs. They were determined to get those negatives!

AN: I'm gonna stop there. If I don't it's going to be longer.

Kyle: That was evil.

DT: What?

Kyle: Don't play innocent with me!

DT: No really what?

Kyle: What? Don't what me!

DT: You want the truth?.

Kyle: Yes!

DT: (Smile) You're just fun to mess with.

(Kyle chases DT with Toukijin.)

DT: Hahaha! Please review and no flames! Later!
