Chapter 4
He holds Zen as he sits by Kasumi and Ukyo as Zor and Nabiki were currently busy getting ready to film the fight. Ranma's father and Mr Tendo were also here, though they seem to be grump about the fact that it wasn't a wedding they were witnessing. He also didn't get why there's this old monkey looking woman here, though she's suppose to be some kind of honoured elder. He really didn't like the looks the old lady was giving him, he differently didn't like the way she views TK and Zor like prime beef.
He notices a stony look on Urd's face when Urd notices those looks that Cologne is giving Zor and TK. He looks away and to where TK is standing, this was taking place at an abandoned parking lot. It's been three days since they arrived here and he come to find this place more weird then the Digimon and the Digital world since he's watching people just plain ignore a Martial Artist fights. While not as impressive as watching the Chunin exam since none of the Martial Artists knew any jutsus, they know how to work something called Ki, but using it isn't current practice in this world. Also he heard that people seem to use their emotions in order to use this Ki and he figures that's just unhealthy for some odd reason.
He squirms as he becomes impatient for the fight to commence. TK's body grows, TK switching out his cloths for ones that will fit his new body frame. He notices that like Zor, TK's hair becomes longer. He grins as he watches TK's white wings grow from his back; he squeezes Zen the teddy bear as he hears a gasp from Ukyo. His grin widens as he notices that Ranma seems impressed as well.
Ranma recovers and the two fighters glance over to Mr Tendo to start the match. "Begin!" The man with facial hair says, slashing the air with one hand. Ranma explodes into action, TK takes a defensive stance. Ranma does a series of punches some of which hit the blond angel despite the fact that the Digidestine of Hope is either evading or blocking as many of the punches that Ranma throws at TK.
TK then lights himself on fire, only that the fire isn't burning TK's cloths or TK himself, Ranma pulls away, clearly surprised by this. TK smiles slightly and fire departs of TK and takes the form of small birds. Ranma makes some comment, but he's too busy watching the little fire birds' antics. 'I wish I could make beasts out of fire.' He thinks wistfully to himself.
He doesn't know if TK replied to whatever Ranma said, but he did notice the odd look in TK's eyes before TK takes to the air. The fire birds that TK has created dance in the air, as if taunting Ranma to try and attack them. Ranma just smirks confidently and leaps into the air, a ball of Ki appears as Ranma shouts out an attack named. TK slices through it with a flick of his hand. TK then counters with a ball of fire that flares once it draws close to Ranma.
Ranma leaps back as TK comes behind the flare to attack Ranma head on. He cheers as TK keeps advancing as the blond forces the dark haired teen into a defensive position. He notices how the fire birds move about between Ranma and TK, they were differently distracting Ranma as the non-winged combatant tries to attack TK without hitting the fire birds.
Ranma says something that they couldn't hear and TK replies with clear amusement flickering in the blond angel's blue eyes. Ranma then does another Ki attack and this time three of the fire birds block the attack by sacrificing themselves. He notices Ranma's eyes light up at this and quickly use Ki attacks on the remaining birds.
Once the air is cleared of the flock of fire birds, TK only snaps his fingers and balls of fire hover in the air around TK. Soon they take the bird shapes that the first bunch had; only this time the flames were an orange colour instead of the red. Ranma shouts something about just destroying the lot and TK smiles and this bunch of fire birds fly close together until it's like a stream of fire heading towards Ranma.
Ranma brings him arms up to defend himself as the stream follows the fleeing fighter. The steam takes the form of flaming horse like thing with a horn on it's forehead. And the strange fire horse races straight at Ranma and makes contact. He gasps in amazement as the horse stands where Ranma is and that Ranma doesn't seem on fire. Ranma seems taken back and seems to relax his stances as Ranma studies himself.
"I think I win, Ranma." TK muses loudly. He glances up at Kasumi and Ukyo and find that the pair agree with TK. "But I'm still rearing to go!" Ranma says. "That could change with a simple thought." TK informs the other fighter, as if to prove it Ranma's cloths begin to smoke.
Nabiki interrupts before Ranma can say anything, "Winner of the match is TK." Ranma shots Nabiki a slight glare and Nabiki just congratulate TK on his victory. Urd seems to be more interested in the old woman's expression then on congratulating her little brother. He notices that Zor seems thoughtful as the golden winged angel in human form packs the video camera up. He just beams as he races to give TK a hug, Zen the bear currently being held in his left hand. "That was great! I knew you could do it!" He shouts as he leaps upward and hugs TK's waist.
TK ruffles his hair and smiles softly down at him. "So you did, so you did." TK says softly. He lets go and waves over at Zor, Zor nods inclines his head at him before Zor glances over to where that elder that looks like a monkey. He notices that Zor seems to be frowning and he cocks his head before glancing back at TK. He just shrugs it, deciding that Urd and them had it in hand.

She glances through this catalogue of Jusenkyo products, mostly at the instance springs powder. She was thinking of picking out an assortment for souvenirs for not just her sisters but also for the Digidestine. She did note the absence of the Spring of Drowned Fire Angel or the one that was Pantyhose Taro curse form. 'Guess it's only those that weren't very dangerous.' She muses as she comes to the end of the section on instance springs.
She glances at the clock, wonder how Ranma's time with his mother was going. She still can't decide which of the two was the worst parent, Genma or Nodoka. Sure Genma put Ranma through idiotic training to make him a better martial artist, but Nodoka had Genma and Ranma 'sign' a suicide pact if Ranma wasn't a 'man among men' before Genma left with Ranma.
'It's a toss up between the two, since in my opinion they both suck and they shouldn't ever have been allowed to have a child let alone raise the one they had together. Well, I'm sure that Nabiki will stop Nodoka from making Ranma do anything stupid.' She muses, remembering the icy look on Nabiki's face when Nodoka seemed to hint that they should marry so she can have grandkids to spoil.
"Hey, cool! Do you think this will work on me too?" Naruto asks, seemly appearing on her lap. She notices the spring that the kid was pointing at, it was the one for drowned wolf. "Most likely. Why? Are you getting tired of walking on two legs?" She asks. "I just want to race around in the woods as fast as I can. I've seen dogs race through the park and I wouldn't mind giving it a go." Was Naruto's reply.
She shakes her head, already getting a picture of how lonely the young boy must have been. "Didn't your caretakers look after you?" She asks and Naruto blinks. "I've been living at my apartment all alone, though the old man would visit sometimes. But not often since he's very busy." The blond admits.
She sighs; once upon a time she would try to fix it through magic, but not now. She's matured since meeting TK and has also come to realise that some things just need time and support for it to heal on its own. "Well, we'll always be there for you, squirt. Even if we're not there in person, we're there in spiri." She says before they discuss something a light more up lifting.
Soon Naruto looks thoughtful and asks, "Can I learn how to put stuff in my subspace pocket?" She chuckles as she closes the catalogue before putting it down. "You think you're ready to learn?" She asks lightly and Naruto nods his head rapidly. "Ok then, lets give it a go then." She says as Naruto slides off of her lap, she gets up off the chair.
She looks down into the six year olds eager face and she begins to explain it as she had to an eight year old TK. She admits that having Naruto around really does remind her of her time with TK, she just hopes that Zor and Naruto's relationship flourishes like their relationship has. She can tell that Zor is finally stopped trying to force things and let thing flow, to click on its own.
She smiles softly and dismisses those kinds of thoughts so she can focus on examining Naruto's attempts once she's done explaining what it's suppose to feel like when reaching into this pocket. She approves of the concentration that Naruto's face is screwed up in, knowing full well that Naruto is giving it his all in order to learn this handy technique.

He watches as the Amazon elder glances cautiously around. He doesn't try to pull himself more to the roof, he just watches as Cologne hops off on that stick of hers. He waits until the shrivelled old ghoul is gone for a good thirty minutes, he keeps track of the time by using his D-3.
Once he's sure she's gone he summons his golden wings and glides down towards the café that the Amazons own. His wings vanish as he lands on the roof. He sits down as he decides to try something different, something that relies on his manipulation of water. Slowly he summons a mist then a pool of water before him. He then sends out strains of water down the side of the building, he continue to supply water to the pool as the strains of water begin to enter into the building through the window.
He has his eyes closed and is attempting to have those strains of water as his eyes. While it wasn't perfect, it was better then he thought it would be as he has the strains of water creep out of the current room, he wants to locate the old ghoul's room in hopes of learning what weapons the Chinese Elder has in stock.
It's slow going but it gives him time to experiment on how to improve his watery vision. He makes it to Cologne's office and he converts more mist into water to add to his supply. He covers the walls and the floor with water. He then slowly observes the room, he doesn't want to get too big of a headache so his watery eyes move about slowly, allowing him to decide which part of the room he wants to check out. He notices a cabinet hidden in the wall, he has his 'eyes' slip into the space.
He finds a lot of herbs as well as a few artefacts those it's mostly potions and herbs with a few scrolls and manuals. He smiles impishly and he has tiny ropes of water grab hold of the scrolls, he then has the water to slip into the rolled parchment, he summons some paper from his subspace pocket and then has the water copy the ink marks onto the sheets of paper. It takes a while, but it works and he commands the water to come out the way it came.
Once it's out of the building, he turns it all into mist and he then stretches his body. He picks up the sheets of paper and rolls them up before sending them into his subspace pocket. He glances at his D-3 before he brings out his wings, once out he leaps into the air, heading to the apartment that they're staying at. He doesn't doubt that what he copied was valuable; he just hopes it'll help them be prepared for whatever Cologne has planned. They all know that Cologne's looks at TK and himself, he doesn't plan on tying himself down in this reality nor will he stand by and watch as TK is as well.
'Whatever secrets are on these pages had better be worth while.' He thinks as he flaps his wings. He uses his control of water to get the moister in the air to heat up so him climb higher into the sky; it's kind of mimicking TK heating up the air in order to gain altitude during the night when there isn't much heat to give up drafts or terminals to soar over, so they conserve some energy instead of flapping their wings all the time.
He'll be happy when he climbs into bed and sleeps the rest of the night away.
