Chapter 3: Surprises

"What happened Akane and where is Ranma?" asked Kagome along with her other friends staring at her with confusion.

"Oh that! He had to leave in a hurry and dragged me outside to let me know why he had to go," replied Akane, hoping that her friends don't ask her anymore questions.

----Meanwhile outside----

"Here to check-up on Akane, Ranma?" questioned a familiar voice in the dark.

As Ranma turned around, he noticed a familiar face approaching him.

"Rouga, should've known," stated Ranma

"Nice to see you too Ranma," responded Rouga.

"Since we are asking questions, what are you doing here P-chan?" asked Ranma

"Who are you calling P-chan?"

"Are you here to see Akane?" asked Ranma

"As a matter of fact, I am here to keep you away from her tonight," stated Rouga.

"And how are you planning to do that when she is over here at a friend's house spending the night with…..hey what are you doing?" asked Ranma as he watched Rouga picked up a bucket of water.

"Like I said, I am here to keep you away from her," answered Rouga as his body changes from a man to a tiny black pig.

"Oh no you don't. Get back here."

Meanwhile, still up in the tree, InuYasha watches with more confusion in his eyes trying to figure out what is going on.

"Ok, now that guy turned into a pig, and that guy who was girl is chasing after it," thought InuYasha. "Now I know that I can't go back to my time, until I get to the bottom of this and make sure that Kagome is safe."

----Meanwhile in Kagome's Room----

"What a cute brooch you have there Serena," replied Kagome.

Serena looks down at her brooch that transforms her into Eternal Sailor Moon.

"Thanks, Kagome," replied Serena with commence in her voice, hoping that Kagome doesn't ask anymore questions.

"Where did you get it at?" asked Kagome.

While Serena tried to answer Kagome's questions without telling her that she got it from a talking cat name Luna there was a thump at Kagome's door. Kagome got up and opened the door and then out of nowhere a little black pig ran in the room.

"P-Chan, what are you doing here?" asked Akane as she picked up the cute little black pig.

"How cute, is he your pet Akane?" asked Lita

"Kinda. I found him a few months ago, and he always seems to show up in the weirdest places," replied Akane.

While the girls where gathered around Akane looking at the cute little pig, Kagome noticed a figure with black hair looking into her window.

"Ahhhhhh!' yelled Kagome.

The girls turned around and saw the figure as well. Akane of course thought it was Ranma spying on her, so she decided to take some action.

"Ranma you pervert," yelled Akane as she ran towards the window and knocking the figure off the tree with all of her strength.

"Well that will take care of him," stated Akane.

"Who are you calling a pervert?" stated a familiar voice as Akane turns around seeing her fiancé hanging upside down from Kagome's window.

"If I didn't hit you, then….. who did I hit?" asked Akane with a surprise look in her eyes wondering who she pulverized out of the tree and onto the ground.

All the girls look out of Kagome's window and notice a figure with long black hair lying unconscious on the dirt ground. Kagome realized who it was.

"Oh no, InuYasha" yelled Kagome, as she ran out of her room and down the stairs to help the unconscious InuYasha.

"InuYasha?" stated all the girls, wondering what Kagome was talking about.

"The girls and Ranma all ran down the stairs following Kagome to meet this InuYasha.

----Meanwhile outside----

Kagome kneeling beside InuYasha.

"InuYasha, InuYasha, wake up," yelled Kagome as she shook the human InuYasha.

After a few seconds InuYasha finally woke up seeing Kagome's face.

"Why didn't you tell me there was a new moon tonight?" asked Kagome.

"I tried to tell you but you yelled at me to go away and when I was about ready to leave, there were two guys that changed into…..InuYasha interrupted.

"Kagome is he alright?" asked Akane.

"Yes he is fine, help me get him into the house," asked Kagome as she picked up InuYasha.

Back in Kagome's house, all the girls and Ranma looks at Kagome's friend wondering where Kagome knew him from and why he was wearing weird looking clothes.

"I am so sorry for hitting you," stated Akane. "I thought you were Ranma spying on us."

"Its ok, I have been hit worse," replied InuYasha. "By the way who is this Ranma?"

"I'm Ranma", as Ranma stepped towards InuYasha.

"Hey wait, you are the guy I saw outside with the other guy who changed into a pig and you were a girl," stated InuYasha as he stares at Ranma with the other girls.

Ranma looking around trying to figure out how to get out of this mess without embarrassing Akane.

"You must have got knocked on the head pretty hard by that un-cute tomboy fiancé of mine to make you think those things," stated Ranma.

"RANMA……., you jerk," yelled Akane, chasing Ranma around the Family Room trying to clobber him.

"Kagome, is this your boyfriend that you have mentioned a few times?" asked Serena.

"No, this is not him. He is just a friend from far away", stated Kagome while blushing.

"Kagome, what is your friend talking about?" asked InuYasha, still feeling confused on the whole situation.

"Nothing InuYasha!" stated Kagome. "Let me take you to the kitchen and put some ice on your head.

----In the kitchen----

"InuYasha, I feel so bad that I completely forgot that tonight was a new moon and I should have been with you in feudal era and instead you had to come here," stated Kagome while she puts an ice pack on InuYasha head.

"Never mind that Kagome, there is something I need to tell you," responded InuYasha.

"What is it?" asked Kagome

InuYasha took a deep breath before responding. "That guy in the living room, Ranma, he is not what he seems."

Kagome shakes her head. "What are you talking about?"

"While I was outside, Ranma was a girl and turn into a guy with hot water and that little black pig that your friend is holding he is really a guy name Rou……..something, I didn't quite catch the name since my hearing wasn't as strong when I am a hanyou.

"I think you hit your head a little too hard, causing you to imagine things," stated Kagome trying hard not to laugh.

With anger and frustration he responded, "Kagome, for as long as you known me and going back and forth between your world and mine and seeing demons and whatever else that has came our way, do you have to question my judgment?"

After hearing InuYasha statement, Kagome started to think twice. Thinking to herself, InuYasha was right. From what has happened this last past year, being pulled into the well, meeting InuYasha, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and Kiara, traveling through feudal Japan to gather all the pieces of the Shikon Jewel, trying to defeat Naraku and coming across so many demons, anything is possible.

"Do you think that this Ranma is a demon?" asked InuYasha.

"No, I don't sense any demonic aura around him and knowing Akane, if she knew something was weird about him, she probably would have beat the crap out of him." stated Kagome.

"Is she a demon slayer like Sango?" asked InuYasha.

"No, she is just a tough girl you don't wanted piss off. Before we jump to anymore conclusions, let's approach Akane about this, but clammily."

"Fine, we will do it your way." stated InuYasha.

Kagome and InuYasha started walking towards the Family Room figuring out a way to approach Akane.
