Vampiric Ascent

Disclaimer: I don't own anything of Ranma ½ or Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. I own the game but not the rights. Gold Digger was thought up by Fred Perry and thus I don't own it. Please note that I disclaim all rights to these series and the only thing of this story that I do own is my own twists to the story and of course my original characters. I don't write those pathetic Ranma Akane stories because I certainly am not very fond of the girl. She always cries that she is a worthy martial artist but relies on magic to help her. Think about the magical gi thing. She used it and defeated almost everyone. She was power-hungry and that makes her not worthy of Ranma. As for the Vampire Ranma I must tell you that he keeps a very tight reign on his true emotions and is able to fake happiness while he is furious at people. Kinda like Kasumi but more adept at keeping them and not keeping up a happy and oblivious mask. Now lets get this story made!

Werewolf trouble

Ranma wasn't happy at the moment. He had been ambushed in his sleep by Shampoo who had snuggled up to him and was in the process of untying his pants as Akane stepped into the room. The girl gave a shout that he was a pervert and he found himself being launched into the air by her mallet which she got from somewhere.

He watched as the ground approached at a rapid pace and he sighed in resignation when he hit the ground making an impact crater. He got himself out of it and then walked back at a leisurely pace. He kept an eye on his surroundings in case someone might be trying to go and kill him. Ranma smiled as he looked upon the sunny streets of Nerima and all the people that went through it. He felt the hunger within beginning to take over a little and knew he would have to feed within a little while.

With a feral grin on his face he began jogging for the first few minutes and then fully started running making windows shatter as he passed them at an increased pace. He had learned Celerity when he had first been embraced by the Antediluvian and found that the Antediluvian had given him a higher learning curve which allowed him to learn techniques faster then anyone. That was one of the plusses to being an Antediluvian he guessed. His mentor had told him about the Tzimische Antediluvian and how he had managed to seal the Antediluvian in the temple. Apparently when an Antediluvian was drained of its blood the powers that were inherent to the Antediluvian entered the Vampire who drained the Antediluvian's body. the seals apparently drained some of the power of the Antediluvian and made it slaap for a whieluntil awakened by Ranma.It appeared the ancient Antediluvian had been in possession of some powers that nobody had seen because Ranma found himself being able to do things he had never seen other Vampires do. He could jump into a shadow and teleport to another shadow thus giving him an edge over Vampire hunters. And indeed it would be tricky to evade those hunters especially if they were very persistent.

Ranma reached Furinkan High at the same moment Akane was entering it. Nobody noticed it as he had scaled the wall by jumping and nobody also noticed it when he crept closer to Akane and then decided to deliver a punch that would knock her out. Using Obfuscate to hide his presence he slammed his fist directly into her Solar Plexus with such force that she was launched backwards and smashed into the wall of the school. Ranma looked at his fiancé and his eyes betrayed none of the mirth. The students looked at Akane and Ranma jumped back over the wall and entered normally this time. When he saw Akane lying there unconscious he rushed over to her and faked his concern to all the students:

"Akane are you alright? Who did this to you? Come on let's get you to the nurses office."

He lifted her worthless body in his arms and he ran towards the nurse's office. The nurse was an ugly fat old lady who said that she could patch up the girl when he left. Ranma left Akane in the ugly nurse her care and then ran to his class at supersonic speeds. A black and red blur was seen rushing through the halls and Ranma stopped in front of the door that leads to his class. Ranma knocked on the door to see if Hinako-Sensei was in and when he received no reply he entered through the door and took a seat. Within a few minutes he saw Hinako enter the classroom and silence any muttering that the students had by draining them of their energy.

Ranma paid attention during class and that surprised many as the normally inattentive student had never paid attention. Ranma was about to doze off but Hinako's voice cut through any plans of sleeping he had:

"Mister Saotome please tell the class this sentence in English."

Ranma looked at the blackboard and saw that there was a sentence in Japanese written there. Without making a single error he translated it. Hinako was looking at him with wide eyes and suddenly looked at him with something akin to anger in her eyes:

"Who are you and what have you done to Ranma Saotome!"

Ranma looked at his teacher and replied in fluent English:

"Well Sensei I am already adept at English. I travelled a lot when I was younger and I had to learn English to survive. I remember that you have some copies of my abysmal school record in a special file which is marked with trouble students? I assure you that I am the true Ranma Saotome and not the mask he has been keeping g for ten years. The mask of the dumb jock who is best at martial arts and sucks at the rest is now gone. Watch and enjoy the changes to the new Ranma Saotome."

With that he came up to her and wrote something on the blackboard. She looked at it and saw that it was a complete analysis of the mind of a creature and it's motivations for survival. The writing continued as Ranma gave a detailed analysis of what drove the creature to its actions and why it had several anomalies in their brains. Like why they could only use a small part of their brains. Then Ranma stopped and said to her in English so the students wouldn't know what he was talking about:

"Hinako-Sensei this is a detailed analysis of the human mind and how they react to danger. My studies have deducted that the human mind will perceive anything a threat when they get into a frightening situation. As I have become intensely obsessed with wanting to know how humans react when faced with danger I have studied numerous people in different stages of fright. I have watched them stare in horror as they saw creatures that stalk the night come up to them and kill them. Well I killed the creatures after they had finished. After all who would I be if I didn't get rid of those who would hurt my test subjects?"

Ranma got a weird look on his face as he looked at the blackboard. He felt like he had just told Hinako something that would shake her to her foundations.

Hinako Nonamiya looked at the man who had just managed to baffle her with the knowledge that he had actually a very advanced brain and just seemed to be bored with what was taught here. She looked at him and a hungry look in her eyes shone. Why not let him do some advanced tests to see if he was worthy of becoming a genius. Surely there could be no mistake if he managed to describe the reaction of the human mind to threats so well. She had done a minor study on the human mind when she went to college and found the fact that she didn't seem to age amusing. She had done a small study on how the human mind perceives things and had found out that the human subconscious mind thinks of things different then the conscious mind does. The subconscious mind has a more accurate sense of fear then the conscious mind and when it tells you to run you will run away. Although there are those who are stubborn enough to remain when faced with danger. She had always classified Ranma as one of those stubborn enough to stay but now came to see his more logical and cunning way of thinking. She told him that she would be back and literally skipped out of the door and got to some of the best teachers of the school and asked for the most difficult tests they had. When asked why she needed them she answered that she would test a student who she thought to be a genius. That got the teachers attention and they all followed her to her classroom.

They were very surprised when she set the tests in front of Ranma and asked the kid to do them. Ranma shrugged and got out his pen. The teachers stared as the boy set to work at the questions and Hinako started to teach the class.

Advanced geometry and math tests were completed within mere minutes as Ranma's quick mind easily solved the problems. History was something he took a longer time at but still he managed to make no single mistake. English was easy and he had finished it within a minute. Finance was a little bit difficult to do but once he got the concept he was finished with it. Psychology was easy for him as he knew the mind of normal humans and thus was able to answer all the questions. Within twenty minutes he was finished and the assembled teachers got out their red markers and started checking the tests to see if he completely failed it. They expected him to be completely worthless at any of the subjects. Most of them were too difficult for most people to handle. Only people who were amongst the top ten of the country could hope to get 95 on this test. They all sat in chairs they had gotten from a neighbouring classroom and to their surprise none of the answers was wrong. One by one the teachers fainted as they had processes that the lazy and dumb boy who was Ranma Saotome had managed to complete some of the most difficult tests ever designed by the teachers of this school. And of course the teachers that taught at this school were among the best in the country due to Nerima's reputation as one of the weirdest districts. It attracted a lot of people who were brilliant and for that reason the High school received more funds then any other school in Tokyo. Thus it had better teachers.

As they all fainted the students looked at them and sweatdropped. It couldn't be that bad that the teachers actually fainted at seeing Saotome's bad tests. Hinako looked at the English test she had checked and she marked it with an A+. Then she slumped over in a dead faint as her mind had finally processed that Saotome had shown that he wasn't a dumb jock after all.

Hiroshi was brave enough to go over to the teachers but before he could get to them a blur whizzed past him and Ranma had scooped up all the tests in his arms and was now busy checking them over. A grin made its way to his face and he heard a throat being cleared behind him. He came face to face with Nabiki and she looked at the tests in his hands and at the fainted teachers. She raised and eyebrow and said at a cold tone:

"Saotome you have three seconds to explain why all the teachers have fainted and why you are having tests in your hands. I want to know exactly why Hinako-sensei came to our classroom and took our finance teacher away."

Ranma got an amused smile on his face and he said:

"I doubt it is any business of you Nabiki. I have no idea why Hinako-Sensei had gathered those teachers here or why they are all unconscious. I made some tests made by them and they have all fainted after grading it."

Nabiki looked at him and said:

"Saotome I want an answer. I am going to stand here until you answer me."

Ranma snorted and said:

"I doubt you have the patience for it Nabiki. I seem to recall that you have a rather impatient attitude with the general populace of this school and I have noticed that you can't seem to sit still on your chair for a while."

Nabiki frowned and thought that she had to resort to more threatening methods:

"Saotome if you don't tell me I'll jump out of the window. I reckon Akane won't be happy when her sister dies because you didn't answer my question."

Nabiki was sure that it would convince the boy to spill his secrets and was surprised to actually hear him laugh and he said to her:

"Do you really think I would be so stupid as to let her hit me? You are such a foolish little girl Nabiki. Thinking that I would save you if you really got the guts to throw yourself out of a window."

Ranma looked at her and grinned and put the tests in his pocket. Then he grabbed Nabiki and carried her back to her classroom under heavy protests. He bound her to her chair and with a roguish grin he told her to stay here and not bother him again. This made Nabiki fume and the moment he was gone she commanded a student to untie her.

Ranma walked back to his class where he saw the teachers getting up and Akane looking at the students warily. It appears she had regained her consciousness and Ranma was irritated by her presence. He got one of the water buckets used for punishment and threw it over the teachers which woke them up. Grinning mischievously he looked as they spluttered in indignation before looking at him. Hinako looked at him with little hearts in her eyes and the rest of the teachers copied that. Including the math teacher who had once said that he was impossible to teach.

Ranma grinned as congratulations were sent his way for completing the tests. Ranma got out a few pins and pinned the tests to the blackboard. The students of the class gawked as they saw red A+ marked on them. They gulped as they now knew that he had seriously outclassed them in the brains department. Then they all fainted as the implications of Ranma becoming smart reached their logical senses. It made no sense to them and was a sign to them that the apocalypse was coming. After all when had Ranma Saotome aced a very advanced test with perfect marks? And he had even done it in all classes that were being offered at the school.

Ranma grinned as he was congratulated by the teachers and some even offered to give him a good reference on his Curriculum Vitae. Ranma grinned and said that he was going to freshen himself up in the bathroom a little. Ranma walked out of the class leaving behind a stunned Akane and very happy teachers.

When Ranma reached the bathroom he entered it and stared at the mirror. Then he shifted into his vampiric features and sighed. He would have to feed or else he would just let the Beast take over because he had almost no blood to compensate. Sure the werewolf part supplied enough blood but that wasn't enough to tame the beast. The Beast needed fresh blood to be rendered tame.

Ranma prowled through the halls and passed students looking at him. Ranma knew that his eyes were slowly turning red and he would have to feed within the next twenty minutes or else he would go berserk. He entered his classroom where Hinako was just finishing her preparations for the next class. He sat down on a table and looked at her. She was in adult form and didn't seem to mind him being there. He spoke up:

"Hinako-sensei could you please give me something I need? I crave it so much it hurts."

Hinako turned to her student and she looked at him and evaluated him and said:

"So long as it is not sex or something erotic I think I can help you. Congratulations for scoring among the top ten of the country Ranma."

Ranma came closer to her and said:

"Hinako-sensei. Then thing I crave is blood. I promise I won't drain all of your blood but I'll let you drink some of mine as compensation for the loss of your blood. It will make you stronger then you ever were before and would grant you access to your adult body at all times."

She nodded and Ranma elongated his fangs. Then he gently pushed her hair away from her neck and bit into her neck. The feeling of blood coming into his mouth was overwhelming and Ranma drank in large gulps. He felt the Beasts presence beginning to wane and soon he felt it disappearing completely. Then he released her neck as he had drank almost half of her blood and sensing that he had enough to last a week he gently sliced his wrist and put the bleeding wound to her mouth. She drank in gulps and Ranma watched as she glowed and the bite marks on her neck disappeared. Her eyes turned reddish for a second and then he left her sitting in the chair. He went outside and prepared to deal with his fiancé's. Ranma called upon most of his vampiric poison resistance as he ate the Ramen offered by the Amazon and felt himself resisting various love potions. As Akane came charging at him he was launched up into the air over Nerima again.

That night was the night of the full moon and Genma and Soun had placed Akane and Ranma in a room in the house that had a view on the outside and the moonlighted the room. Akane started changing into a werewolf and Ranma did the same. Then Ranma looked at the werewolf that was Akane and he felt revulsion flow through him. She made a poor werewolf and was as restrained in her anger in this form as she was in her human form. Ranma transformed back into his human form and drew his Katana. Akane had no restraints on her in her werewolf form and thus attacked the human entering her territory. Ranma was ready and he delivered a slash to the chest with the silver Katana. Akane howled in pain as the silver bit into her flesh and burned it. Immediately the door was opened and Genma entered in his hybrid form and growled:

"What are you doing boy? Transform into your true form and mate with her. It has been decreed by the Elders that you two marry."

Ranma scoffed at the old man and shifted into his hybrid form. The bulging muscles and fur made him look dangerous. The red blood lusted eyes did nothing to disprove the image of a bloodthirsty monster. Ranma still brandished the silver Katana and he said:

"Well Pops why don't you spill whatever you have kept hidden from me? After all I would lie to know if you were keeping something from me."

The old werewolf growled and tried to smack him with his paws. It succeeded but Ranma dealt a slash over the paw and Genma retracted his paw and looked at the burn. Then he looked at his son and said in a prideful voice:

"Boy you can wield a silver weapon. Oh happy day. With your blood going to your pups we might be able to resist silver at last."

Ranma growled and said:

"There are certain techniques one learns when dealing with Vampires. That includes getting a resistance against silver. It is imperative that you keep ahead with your opponent."

Genma closed the door after binding Ranma with a set of chains made from titanium and laced with several binding spells so that Ranma would be forced to copulate with Akane who was now trying to get Ranma's attention. She leaned on his muscled form and grinned at him and said:

"Now I get to bear your children just like the Elders decreed. This will be a powerful tool for the Werewolf race."

Ranma grinned at her and mentally called out for his Children. Soon three vampires entered the room and they stood behind Akane out of her sight. Ichiro looked at the sight and sighed. They had tried to bind his master once again in their stupid schemes. Yuki stared at the werewolf with anger visible in her eyes. How dare that slut try to take advantage of her Master! She would teach the furry bitch what it meant to have a vampire killing you. She drew a silver dagger from somewhere and then launched it at the back of the werewolf which was on top of her master. Akane gave a growl as the silver penetrated her back and a poison took effect which disabled her bodily functions. Ranma threw her off him and started modifying her memory to include having copulated with him and then Ranma made himself scarce. He left the room followed by his Children and jumped over the rooftops until he came at his mother's house. He bade the three Children farewell and sent them off to get a ticket to Atlanta for him. Night flight of course.

Ranma went inside and found his mother teaching her students about the different vampire clans and what could be used against them. Ranma listened for a few seconds before rudely interrupting her:

"Mother we need to talk."

She turned towards him and noticed that blood was dripping out of his neck and that he was virtually naked except for some rags. The girls looked at him with hearts shining in their eyes and the lesbian huffed. Nodoka stared at the neck and noticed that there was an imprint of two large fangs and that it was too big to have been from a vampire.

Ranma sat down on the floor and looked at his mother:

"Mom we need to talk about me. I am letting a few friends of mine pick up a ticket to go to Atlanta and will be departing to America tomorrow if all goes as planned."

Nodoka looked at her only son and said:

"What about your grades?"

Ranma smirked and handed her the tests he had done:

"I've already completed the most advanced work the school has to offer. And there is another thing I would like to talk to you about…"

Then the wall imploded and Akane in werewolf form came through with a feral snarl present on her face:

"RANMA YOU ARE COMING WITH ME NOW! INEED TO HAVE YOUR CHILD!"

Ranma pushed down a shiver of disgust and drew the Katana:

"Well Akane it seems that I don't want to go. NOW GET OUT OF THE HOUSE OR I'LL SLICE YOUR DAMNED WEREWOLF HEAD OFF!"

Then in a fit of anger Akane advanced on Ranma who just shrugged and gave an open palm strike to her abdomen. Akane was sent back out of the hole she had made and Ranma began focusing his vampire powers. By now he was collecting an impressive dark aura around him and his eyes turned a blood red. Ranma grinned and two vampire fangs poked out of his mouth. He felt connected to the minds of every clan member he had and felt their fear as he began accessing all the power he had as an Antediluvian. The sky immediately darkened as clouds gathered all around Ranma and thunder boomed in the sky. Blood began to come from wounds that mysteriously appeared on Akane's body and Ranma grinned and backhanded her into a building. He made sure she was knocked out and then walked outside. There were some schoolgirls converging on him with a blue haired one typing furiously on a computer.

She shouted something at the other girls and magical attacks flew at him. Ranma groaned as he immediately knew who they were. They were the soldiers of a long dead kingdom that was on the stars. It was made after the vampires had been born and they had led a crusade against vampires.

Ranma dodged the attacks and began to deal some damage. He grabbed a green skirted one who came at him and tried to smash open his ribcage with his fists. Apparently she thought that she could beat him with martial arts. Ranam grinned and he caught her hand. Then with a savage grin on his face his snapped the wrist and then threw her at her comrades with some telepathic force. Ranma watched and giggled in glee as the girls all crashed into one another and then fell to the floor in a tangle of limbs. Then he ducked underneath a sword slash intent on beheading him. He ducked out of a jet of magical water. Blood began seeping from his wounds that healed immediately. Ranma's blood red eyes began to glow as he beheld the new enemies and a grin once again appeared on his face. Blood was readily available here and he was going to get some of it. Ranma grabbed a brick and threw it with all his might at one of the girls. It hit her in the chest and she was thrown backwards into a wall and was knocked out. A girl with short purple hair appeared and apparently she healed the woman and then the woman stood up again and renewed the assault.

Ranma ducked underneath a slash and then jumped into a shadow and left the battlefield. The sky returned to normal and the fangs were hidden as they retracted. He walked back to his house and felt the fear in the minds of his Children subside. He was greeted by the sight of his three Childer which were gathered on the roof of his house. Yuki handed him a ticket and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Ranma gave a kiss to her lips and nodded. Ichiro and Takayuki bowed to their Master and said:

"May you find peace wherever you go master."

"Give them hell from us overseas."

Ranam grinned and said:

"Let me say goodbye to my mother and then I'll go. And if you want to you can come to America after a few weeks because I think that I would have settled in Atlanta well."

They nodded and then departed to go and feed on some poor guy who was wandering the streets.

Ranma went downstairs and hugged his mother and told her that he was going to America. She nodded and said that she had also planned a trip to America to visit and old friend of her.

Within three hours Ranma was seated in the first class section of the plane headed to Atlanta. He sipped on a glass filled to the brim with Champagne and was invited by several ladies to join what they called the Mile High club. Ranma just told them that he was gay and they all went away very disappointed and Ranma enjoyed the flight. No splashed occurred and Ranma stepped outside of the Atlanta Airport.

Brittany Diggers was thinking about the past and about all the things that had happened while she had been adventuring. She was now married to Strype for 6 months and still she wasn't pregnant. Apparently the combination of Krynn and werecheetah wasn't compatible with their genes so no child would come of it. It would either be another werecheetah that would impregnate her or another werecreature. And one thing was that Strype wasn't as gentle with her as he had been before. He actually had started hitting her a few months ago which had turned into full beating sessions after that. The only thing that prevented it from becoming knowledge to her father or mother was that she healed very fast like all werecreatures and the wounds were gone by the time morning came around.

She came to the memory about her encounter with the boy when she was eight. She remembered giving the boy their address of their home and wondered if he would come and visit. Maybe he could tell them what had happened all those years ago/. She had a vivid impression of a gigantic werewolf and wondered what had caused it to attack. Probably something about her being the last werecheetah. She didn't suspect that the subject of her thoughts was on the same city at the moment.

Ranma sneezed and a few windows broke from the sound waves generated by the sneeze. He wiped his nose and muttered:

"Someone must be talking or thinking about me. Maybe I should just get a hotel and go by the Digger's house later. And while I am in this city I might just go and get a decent set oif clothes."

Ranma checked into a hotel and then immediately went to bed as he saw that dawn was approaching. He knew that he didn't need it but he ill felt the need to sleep a little when dawn arrived. He would be up by noon anyways as his vampiric power allowed him to go without very much sleep. Well he didn't need sleep but it served as a good way to collect his thoughts.

A new chapter finished for my faithful reviewers and other fans of my work. Thanks to your many reviews I have completed this chapter and anxiously await the many reviews that will follow this chapter. At least I hope I get some reviews that are long.

Reviews:

Lord of the Pit: This is the long awaited update. Read it and review again Oh Lord of the Pit. Please your God with your reviews.

Ranma Hibiki: After some problems with my compute ri have decided to add this chapter. I hope it is good enough to you. I know I have spelling errors but my computer is totally fucked up most of the time. So I can't fix them. And I don't try to make many spelling errors. Leave me another review please. Please a long one.

Innortal: Well he is out of Nerima at the moment. The NWC will follow of course. I wonder what they will say when they find out that their object of lust/vengeance in reality is one of the most powerful vampires alive. Probably try to attack him. I doubt they would survive long.

Skuld's Sentaro4: The blood of Ranma is mixed. He wasn't human to begin with so he is now an Antediluvian/Werewolf hybrid. This means that he can walk in the sun like most Antediluvians and still access his werewolf form. Leave more reviews please.

Silverscale: Akane will get what's coming to her. She is a loyal dog for the Werewolf Elders. Well that actually would make sense to me. She obeys the Elders like a dog would do its master. So she would try to get a child from Ranma but he hates werewolves although he himself is half werewolf, his Antediluvian side is the side which is in control at every time.

Striker: I continued it. Thanks for leaving a review.

Lone Wolf Blade: he won't turn all of the Diggers. And edge guard are quite hard to imagine being vampires. Alive they would be more suited to lead some attack against him. But I know of someone who actually will get turned into a Vampire. I give you two clues: 1: She wears skin tight outfits which accentuate her assets nicely. 2: She is the last of her kind. Get the clues? She is cute!

Jleonard: Not overpowered. I reckon some of the mages on Jade could get him knocked out or something. Julia could beat him that's for sure. Although that was a living Ranma, undead I am not sure about. Continue with giving me reviews.

Gallaghan2000: I use Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines as a setting which doesn't explain much about werewolves. As for the werewolf properties I just used the normal werewolves that I am familiar with so those I will use. And as for the VTM werewolf their bodies will kill itself has a major flaw. Ranma didn't know he was a werewolf at the time and thus didn't know that it would kill him. And Antediluvians are a LOT stronger then the normal Vampire. Just keep on reviewing it would you?

Brother Angelon: interesting to read eh? Well he is more of an original werewolf from those horror movies mixed with the GD werewolf. And Ranma will age until he is twenty and then his vampiric power will kick in giving him immortality. His werewolf part allows him to grow until his physical maturity and then he will stop aging.

Sylin: they won't know that he is a Vampire king. And they will find out but then Brittany has been Embraced already. I imagine it would be quite funny as she would apparently gain the same things like Ranma has from her being a werecheetah. And in her hybrid form her face is quite pale and she actually has fangs so I doubt that anyone will notice the vampire fangs unless they do a scan of the person's magical energy.

Phorcys: I'll keep it up. Leave a longer review please. I'd like longer reviews so m y fans can give me good tips about how to advance the story.

Kyros Lencho: thanks but I had an original werewolf mixed with the GD werewolf in mind. But if I follow the werewolves of VTM then I am happy that you think I am doing a good job at it. Lkeave a loinger review next time because I am interested in your reply.

Zaxxon: Cologne will fall off her staff if she sees Ranma. The aura of anger and hunger and evil is overwhelming. I somehow doubt it that Theodore would like him to hang around his daughter. Ah well that is another problem to deal with at another time.

Saoirse: This is an update. Review again please.

Migele: I don't have a Beta reader. Nobody is online the moment I finish them and I think I am doing a good job at these stories and people like them so they don't complain too much against me. But thanks for the review. Review again please.

Ame Suisei: Malkavians are 'interesting'. I wrote this especially for reviewers who tell me in their reviews that they like it in an original way and make me want to write again.

Darkepyon: I have a lot of ideas swirling through my mind. Currently I am working on an old story to bring out another chapter. So I don't abandon it but leave it open for a while.

Goku: thanks for reviewing.
