A Third Chance at Life

The End of Round One and Naughty Thoughts

Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma or Inuyasha, they are the property of Rumiko Takashi and some companies I can't remember, I also do not own Shadow Hearts, I am making no money of this work.

Author's Notes: Well, this chapter might not be out until Tuesday now, I have to go back and rewrite the chapter after the stupid computer at school decided to restart by itself before I saved. Oh to Victor Khimenko the thirty thousand yen wasn't all the money he had everywhere just all the money he had on him, most people generally don't walk around with much more then that.

'Where are they, did they get lost?' Sota thought.

"Hey Sota." Miroku called out as he sat down next to Mrs. Higurashi and Sango sat on his other side.

"What took you all so long?" Sota glared.

"Shippo insisted on going into something called a funhouse, the mirrors and passage ways got us all turned around and it took us for ever to get out." Sango said as Kirara who was sitting on her shoulder nodded in agreement.

"What are you so upset about, did you miss me that much?" A girl asked.

"Rin, how can I miss you, I've seen you nearly everyday since Sesshomaru called in his favor and Inuyasha's been watching you." Sota teased.

Rin pouted before saying, "I really do wonder what Lord Sesshomaru is doing on the mainland and why he had to leave me behind."

"It is strange, Sesshomaru is a powerful demon lord with a large territory. You would think he wouldn't want to stray to far from it." Shippo said from his resting spot on Kagome's friends laps.

"His lands are still well protected, they would have enchantments and his castle would have some powerful retainer's who would defend his lands, so whether he was there or not only a fool or an incredibly powerful demon would dare stir up trouble in Sesshomaru's lands." Kohaku responded as he sat down next to Rin.

Kanna nodded her head in agreement with Kohaku, "The round is about to start." Kanna said before squeezing in between Rin and Kohaku.

"Oh they're keeping pace with each other look." Kasumi smiled

"Go Kagome, you must score a perfect my wallet is depending on you." Grandpa Higurashi shouted.

"Father, you might want to tune it down a little, everyone is staring at you, besides you might be distracting Kagome right now." Mrs. Higurashi said causing Grandpa Higurashi to stop shouting encouragements, but it didn't stop his mind from pleading for his wallet's salvation.

'Last arrow and it's still tied, I may end up with nothing after all.' Nabiki frowned.

'Okay last shot Kagome, just concentrate and aim for your target.' Kagome thought as she pulled the bow string back and aimed carefully before letting the arrow fly, unfortunately for her this was also the moment her body decided to protest the food she ate. 'Oops, guess I shouldn't have let Inuyasha convince me to try the bean burrito from that stand earlier.' Kagome thought as she saw her arrow strike just outside the bullseye.

Nabiki grinned as she watched the old man's eyes go wide and his jaw dropped. "Tough luck, that was a close one." Nabiki said as she held out her hand.

Grandpa Higurashi silently shed his tears as he handed over his money.

"Sango, I, am I seeing things or is that Kikyo standing next to Kagome?" Miroku whispered as he noticed the priestess..

"What? That can't be…I, but how?" Sango responded as she too saw Kikyo.

"It's her sort of." Inuyasha said as he jumped up on the stands from where he was watching on the ground.

"Inuyasha, how did Kikyo get here?" Shippo asked loudly grabbing Nabiki's attention.

"I'll explain better later, but basically after Naraku murdered Kikyo in the past a small piece of her soul survived, in this time it came into contact with a boy who has a curse to turn into a girl when hit with cold water and her soul was getting repaired by being near Ranma's and today for the tournament he let her take control." Inuyasha explained

'Wonder if Kasumi was listening in too?' Nabiki thought.

"I thought going back to the feudal era and finding a half demon boyfriend was as confusing as Kagome's life could be. But…" Eri started.

"Now her half demon boyfriend's ex girlfriend who has died twice and who was reincarnated into Kagome is back alive in the present and is sharing a body with a cursed guy." Yuka continued.

"And by coincidence they both end up going to the same archery competition." Ayumi finished.

"My head hurts." The three say in unison.

"Roger come on let's go." Saki called out to Roger.

"Huh, wha, just wait a moment okay." Roger waved her off as he continued to stare down a beach in Okinawa to where a group of women were playing volleyball.

"Orobas help me out here." Saki demanded.

"Huh, what?" Orobas mumbled as he too stared intently at the women playing Volleyball.

"Damn it Orobas, not you too. Your not even human, why is that getting to you." Saki shouted.

"I may not be human, but I've spent enough time in this form to understand the appeal of women." Orobas said lecherously.

"It seems to me that I misjudged you my friend," Roger smiled, "Why don't we take a break here, after all there's no need to work ourselves to death."

"What a marvelous idea, I accept." Orobas responded as he and Roger walked closer to the girls playing volleyball.

'Damn letches …still I guess I should just be happy they're getting along, but we can't let ourselves get distracted, oh hello.' Saki thought as she saw a group of guys in swimming trunks walk by. 'Well I guess we can stay for a little while.' Saki grinned lecherously.

"Have you told the Master about Tolaran?" Megumi asked.

"Not yet I'm getting all the information I can out of these traitor's before hand, Tolaran is one of the master's favorite advisor's so any accusations I make will need to have a strong base, I'm considering looking for more proof before hand, but at the same time Tolaran can argue anything I find has been made up by me, because I wouldn't have had permission to investigate him. The tortured confessions would be uncontestable though since, they were brought about during an investigation we were allowed to do." Vlad frowned.

"I would just let the master know, if we have proof of something and Tolaran finds out, he's going to find away to discredit or destroy the proof we already have." Megumi responded.

"That's true, alright, other news then, what are the reports on The Amazon Elder Cologne, is she still searching the neighborhood for demons?" Vlad asked.

"According to our sources, she is not actively searching, but she has kept up a high level of vigilance and might be able to sense anything we set out to follow the people of Nerima." Megumi answered.

"All right have the demon summoners launch a few passive scan type demons around Nerima, since they don't follow anyone they should be alright."

"Yes Lord Vlad, it will be done." Megumi said before turning to leave.

"Meg, just a second, After you get the orders put through, lets go get dinner I'm starved." Vlad smiled.

"Alright." Megumi exclaimed before running off.

"That concludes the first round, now a lot of people scored under sixty three points so we now have only twenty contestants. Those who have made it to the next round it will begin in an hour's time, until then enjoy the cultural fair." The announcer called out.

"Thankfully I don't have to do as much as I did last year." Kagome mumbled.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Kikyo asked.

"During last years Cultural Fair, my friends had no clue about My going into the past and my Grandfather would make up all sorts of horrible illnesses as excuses and I would never see my friends, so when I came to school they ambushed me with each of the activities they were in charge of and I had to help out. At the same time, dried up demons were attacking the school because no one told me not to cook them." Kagome frowned at the memory.

'Didn't Akane do something similar?' Ranma asked

'Yes, but she also made food that was classified as a biological weapon' Kikyo thought back. "That did not sound like fun."

"Yeah at least now my friends know about my life over in the past." Kagome said.

"How did they find out?" Kikyo asked.

"Well me and Inuyasha were having a large argument as I was coming back home to study for a test and my friends came by to see how I was feeling. They heard me yelling and rushed over to see what was wrong, when they opened the door to the well house they crashed into us and we all went flying down the well, they ended up crossing over with us and we kind of had to explain it." Kagome stated.

"According to my sister only you and Inuyasha could get through the well." Kikyo responded

"As far as we can tell that's true, but if they are in close proximity to one of us they can get dragged through with us."

"Wow, another person managed to get a perfect, and the other was only of by three points." Ben said.

"Looks like you'll have some real competition." Kisa smiled as she nudged Reika.

"You were all very good too." Reika blushed.

'Hmm, the one with the Chinese clothes got a perfect, it's not just Ranma in a wig is it? No the face is different and she's not as stacked as Ranma's girl form. Either way she is good and so is that other girl, those two look alike, maybe they're sisters.' Hinako thought as she watched Kikyo and Kagome.

"So who do you think we should ask first to join the archery club?" Sakura asked.

"Ranma is the first one and if he says yes then his project group and we could also ask Hiroshi and Daisuke." Hinako responded.

"Ranma, oh my, really oh god what would I wear, I'd have to get all new clothes for the meetings and that they show enough cleavage, oh and what about make-up it has to be perfect…"

"All I did was say his name and she's been going on about him for five minutes and she doesn't look like she's going to stop anytime soon." Hinako glared at the Ranma fangirl.

"Yeah she can be pretty bad sometimes, but you just learn to ignore these." Ben responded.

"Or you have a psychotic episode." Ryoko chipped in.

And on and on she continued.

"That's it I'm draining her" Hinako said as she pulled out a five yen piece and drained the chatterbox turning into an adult.

'God I love it when she does.' Ben thought as he looked at Hinako's long legs. "Guess I'll carry Sakura then." Ben frowned as he lifted up his long time friend.

"Here, I'll help you." Ryoko said as she and Ben lifted Sakura by placing her arms across their shoulders.

"Ms. Hinako you okay?" Kisa asked since she hadn't moved since draining Sakura.

"That girl is excitable and horny beyond belief and some of it just transferred to me. I somehow managed to pick up some of her thoughts." Hinako panted, "I think I'm going to go sit down, I'll see you all at the start of the next round." Hinako said as she stumbled away. 'And I thought my thoughts of what I wanted to do Ranma were naughty these were, I didn't know highschoolers knew these sorts of things.'
