Disclaimer - I don't own either Ranma1/2, nor do I own Naruto (not so 1/2). I do however wish I owned them both, then I wouldn't be stuck working at this dead end job.
Innortal - LMFAO! I thought I fixed all of those. I wanted a dramatic change, and I figured later, before posting it, that a month wasn't enough time. Nine months without Ranma, can and will, change a person lol. Especially since he was supposedly engaged to a idiotic pig lover. LOL
Sorry about the confusion, since no doubt, you people think I updated again while I just went back and fixed the month issue. Thanks to Innortal for pointing it out to me.
Last Time on The Terrible Trio ---
Sneering at the move, and mentally laughing as he calculated the power behind it, Ranma screamed out "YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT P-CHAN! RAIKIRI!" with a roar of power, Ranma charged toward the ball of energy, lightning crackling across his outstretched hand. The instant the two met, there was a loud crack as the ball split into two pieces, destroying the wall behind Ranma, leaving his attack uncontested. Pulling back as he reached Ryouga, Ranma slammed the lightning laced attack into Ryouga's shoulder, tearing it open as his hand passed through his body.
ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
------------------------- The Terrible Trio ------------------------
Akane screamed blood murder as she stared at Ranma's hand protruding from Ryouga's body, blood dripping from his outstretched fingers. She fell to her knees as Ryouga slowly sank toward the ground. Growing nauseated as the sickening sound Ranma pulling his hand from Ryouga's body, she really did get sick when it collapsed to the ground in a heap. Watching her retch into a nearby bush, Ranma was forced to grin "What's the matter pig-boy,... haven't you ever fought a battle to the death before? Stand up if you don't want to die." Ranma turned his back to Ryouga and started toward the other side of the yard, where there was a huge hole in the wall. Taking a second to nod at the destruction, Ranma turned toward the now standing Ryouga "Now,... don't disappoint me. Or you really will die."
Anko watched this with two thoughts running through her head -God Ranma's so sexy with blood dripping from him- followed closely by -Since when was he so blood thirsty?- but the latter was shrugged off as she stared at the crimson liquid dripping from his hand -Yum-
Tsunade on the other hand, was a mess of emotions -This isn't Ranma,... Ranma doesn't kill needlessly. I thought the Raikiri was just to force the boy into submission. But seeing him now,...- she sent Ranma a pitying glance, before frowning -He's losing it-
Naruto, up to this point, was watching in awe at the fact that Ranma was decimating his opponent, before his words rang true -Wait,... Ranma-neechan isn't so cold! What's going on here!-
Kiba just watched the events fold out, mentally tallying the chances of Ryouga winning in a battle, before Akamaru's whimper forced him to look down "What's wrong boy?" Seconds passed as a series of barks rang out from inside Kiba's jacket, causing him to start "What,... What do you mean Ranma's going to kill him?! Ranma's not a killer!"
Hearing Kiba's comments, Ranma forced himself to calm down, before gazing at Ryouga's battle ready form -Do I really want to kill the bastard,... sure he's tried to kill me many times. Even sleeping with Akane in pig form,... screwing up my life,... forcing me to take the blame every time he comes through the wall- Ranma frowned, his blood lust slowly creeping back with every passing though before he sighed "Ryouga,... go wash yourself off. You look pathetic" He then walked back toward Anko and Tsunade, a lost look in his eyes.
Taking his hand gently into her own, Tsunade offered a small smile before leaning forward and kissing his cheek, whispering to him "You did the right thing Ranma. You showed him the difference between you two, he wont bother you again"
Frowning mentally as Anko thought she would get to see some blood, she quickly made her way to Ranma's other side, wrapping herself around his waist "Are you okay Ranma-sama?"
Ranma looked at the fear in Naruto's eyes, before giving Anko a tired smile "I guess,... I just lost it a bit back there. All the shit he put me through made me really want to kill him." He looked up at Naruto and closed his eyes, muttering these words "Looks like you aren't the only monster here, huh Naruto"
Jerking out of his stupor, Naruto frowned at Ranma "You aren't a monster Nee-chan,... just like I'm not. Just because I hold the Kyuubi doesn't mean that I am him. There is a difference between us, just like there is you and how Gaara used to be"
Giving him a small smile, Ranma pulled Anko and Tsunade toward the gate "Come on,... I don't feel like staying here anymore,... we'll come back and talk to Kasumi later. Or when she's alone or something"
Nodding at the plan, Kiba made his way toward the exit before pausing "Ranma,... how did you become so powerful?"
Frowning at the question, Ranma allowed himself to sigh before shaking his head "Your guess is as good as mine Kiba. Before I went to your world, I was a martial artist. I was well versed in using Ki, and multiple martial art styles. I even killed a demigod phoenix named Saffron. However when I appeared in your world, something was off. Everything I saw was committed to memory almost instantly. While it made Jutsu's and tactics very easy to learn, it also worried me quite a bit"
Nodding at his explanation, Kiba stared at the ground "It seems like almost everyone who is powerful has bloodlines,... why should you be any different" before starting toward the gate again.
Ranma was about to reach out and grab Kiba's shoulder and give him a piece of his mind, when there was a loud scream coming from the house, followed by "You bastards! How dare you hurt Ryouga-san!" Ranma turned toward the house and frowned mentally at three people standing there.
Removing himself from Anko and Tsunade's hold, Ranma walked toward the house, pausing before Ryouga's unconscious body "I didn't kill him, so he'll live. However he deserved everything he got and more for all the shit he put me through over the years! So don't sit there and try to tell me what I did was wrong!"
Drawing a sword from a nearby bundle of clothe, the woman ran toward Ranma with it raised high "HOW DARE YOU!"
Taking a deep breath, Ranma allowed the woman to get near him and swing down toward him, intent on killing him, before Ranma simply grabbed her wrist, stopping her swing "I don't suggest you continue this attack Nodoka Saotome. Or would you like to see your only son dead, by your own hands"
Staring at the man before her, with a large amount of anger written on her face, Nodoka growled out "You are no son of mine! My son died almost nine months ago! I wont have you use his name in such a scandal!"
Snorting with laughing, Ranma turned his back to Nodoka, and started his way toward the ninja group, but not without shouting over his shoulder "Your son may be dead, but Saotome Ranma lives on" Walking up to Tsunade and Anko, Ranma gave them a sad smile before pushing past them, muttering "Let's go"
Watching him as he walked past the gates, and disappearing around the corner, before sharing a look and chasing after him -That went too smoothly,... what's Ranma playing at?- was the thoughts in Tsunade's head, before sighing -He was all but disowned right there. Why is he so calm about it!- Once she was around the corner, Tsunade came to an abrupt stop, as Ranma came into view. Seconds passed as she stared, before making her way to his side, and wrapping her arms around him. He didn't even bat an eye before he threw his head against her chest, the sobs mutely escaping his lips "It's okay Ra-chan,... We're here for you. Don't worry, you aren't alone"
Anko watched with a small amount of sadness as she felt herself becoming depressed -Damn it,... this brings back memories I could do without- she let out a small sigh before turning around, hearing the boys gasps of surprise "You guys,... let's leave them alone for right now. I think Ranma-sama needs a moment" about to jump away, she let out a squeak of surprise as Ranma reached out and timidly grasped her wrist. Looking at the hand for a moment, as the tears started down, Anko stopped "R-Ranma-sama?"
Looking at her with a lost look in his eyes, Ranma pulled her back and quickly lost himself against her and Tsunade "P-Please,... let me stay like this for a moment"
Not being able to watch at such a moment of weakness, Kiba snorted and started to walk down the street, ignoring the looks of people around him -What could be so bad, to cause him to crack like that. Just because a of woman no less!-
Naruto watched his friend walk away from Ranma's breakdown, with a small frown on his face -Those who don't know this pain, wont be able to understand- He shot Ranma a small pity filled glance before jumping onto a nearby building -I may not have had a family to disown me. But having an entire village loathe you for what you could not control, can give the same pain- He watched with saddened eyes as both Tsunade and Anko soon joined Ranma's tear fest, before shaking his head "Sometimes, it needs to be done" In his moment of maturity, Naruto barely noticed a small object jumping across the buildings in order to reach their location.
AN -
I noticed last chapter I forgot to add a footnote for the (1),... well all I was going to say was that I didn't know if that was the proper spelling or not, but I hate the English versions of it, so I would rather them be wrong. But at the same time, I don't wish to disrespect the author by getting it wrong.
Anywho,.. anyone have a guess as to who the figure was that was jumping toward them? Give you a hint,... they love women.
