Chapter 4: The Mysteries Stranger

A half an hour has passed since the chaos of InuYasha being punch out of the tree by Akane. Kagome was figuring out a way to approach her friend on what InuYasha has seen outside. "Hey Akane, InuYasha told me that your fiancée Ranma and that little pig are not what they seem to be. Yeah, like that will work."

Kagome and InuYasha once again enter the family room, keeping a straight face without giving anything away. Kagome approach Akane, hoping that this won't end up in a disaster.

"Akane, would you mind stepping outside with me. I need to talk to you about something?"

"Sure!" replied Akane, wondering what this was all about.

As the two girls started their way towards the back door, InuYasha was trailing close behind them. Kagome turned around and stop InuYasha in his path. "I better do this alone InuYasha. It will be better if it was coming from me alone." InuYasha just gave her annoying glare and decide to agree with her. Kagome turned back around and both she and Akane left the family room walking towards the backyard. InuYasha just sat down on the floor glaring at Ranma.

"What are you looking at?" questioned Ranma, glaring back at InuYasha.

"I don't trust you or that black pig of yours."

"I think that bump to your head really did a number on you."

"Oh no! If I am wrong, I remembering something about hot or cold water during that discussion between you and that other guy."

"You wouldn't. Beside I wouldn't be talking if I were you. Between the way you are dressed, along with that rusty old sword of yours, I can beat you no sweat."

"Nobody insults my Tetsusaiga." Responded InuYasha as he reached for his sword.

"Bring it on, weirdo."

Serena and her crew were still in room confused of what the hell was going on with those two and what did Kagome have to talk to Akane about.

----Meanwhile outside----

"So, what is it you have to talk to me about Kagome?"

"Well you see, how can I put this? My friend InuYasha says he saw your fiancée Ranma and another guy talking outside and saw something weird happen between the two of them."

"What are you talking about Kagome" Akane was getting little nervous, thinking that maybe Ranma's secret was revealed.

"Well, InuYasha said something about hot and cold water changing Ranma into something else and that little black pig, P-Chan is not really a pig." "Ok, even that sounds stupid to me."

Akane froze in her place. She knows the truth "Ranma, you are so dead."

"You must be joking Kagome. Maybe all of those diseases you had may have done something weird with your head."

"Thanks a lot Gramps. Why couldn't you just say that I had a bad cold or a flu? Now my friend thinks I am crazy." Kagome looked at her friend and knew that she couldn't convince her and maybe InuYasha did imagine it.

"I'm sorry Akane. Lets forget about it and lets go back inside and join the rest of our friends."

Just as they were about to head inn, they heard and strange, mysteries voice behind them.

"What beautiful, voluptuous women I see."

Both Kagome and Akane turned around and saw a tall, dark figure in the shadows.

"Who's there? Show yourself." Yelled Akane.

The dark figure came out of the shadows, and there stood a tall, strong-built, gorgeous man. He had a figure of a Greek god, his eyes shined with emerald green while his long dark hair blew softly among the breeze. He wore a black hakama (pants), a dark blue, open-fronted, long sleeve dôfuku (shirt) which showed off his strong, hard abs. On his feet were wooden sandals and around his waist was a samurai sword.

"You two are coming with me." Answered the dark stranger.

"What?" replied Kagome.

"What makes you think that we will go anywhere with you." Replied Akane, as she started to run towards the mystery man, ready to fight him.

"What is this strange aura? Its coming from that man." Kagome knew this man wasn't human. "Akane, stop! That man is not what he seems." Yelled Kagome as she watches her friend running towards, possibly a dangerous trap.

"You are going down, you pervert." Yelled Akane, as she came closer and closer to her target.

"AKANE, STOP!"
