Chapter 5
He holds the pages that Zor had copied from those scrolls that Cologne had in a secret cabinet in her office. Most of the scrolls were taking about different artefacts, most likely those that were stored with the scrolls. Thought a few talked about the Amazon tribe's encounter with some demi-god based off of a phoenix. There's this one that talks about this group called the Musk, it mentions this kettle and ladle that could lock and unlock Jusenkyo curses.
He's privately glad that his curse is no longer dependent on water for the trigger. Though that might just be another thing that galls Cologne is that neither Ranma, Ryoga, Zor, and himself were affected by water any more. Genma doesn't seem to care about controlling his curse, though Mousse and Shampoo seem slightly offended at not getting a chance to get the spell casted on them. Though Happosai seems to be the only one annoyed at the Tendo's since it means he can't see, let alone touch, Ranma's girl form now that Ranma can decide when to transform when and where.
He sighs and looks away, they've been here for about two weeks now and other then getting very annoyed with Cologne for just letting go of trying to have Ranma marry into the tribe, they haven't had much luck with discovering why the gods and demons were still knocked out. Though he had suggested for Urd to visit Keiichi to see how he's doing since Keiichi is mostly worrying about Belldandy, Skuld, and Urd.
Which leaves him alone with Naruto, since Zor's busy sparring with Ranma, to keep the pig tailed teen away from his long lost mother, Zor and Urd were truly distrustful of Nodoka and seem to think that Nodoka won't do much to help Ranma resolve any of his problems but only add to them. He's currently reserving judgement, but is kind of creeped out when he heard Nodoka say, "My son's so manly."
He puts the pages away and glances at the clock to see what time it is. It's about an hour away from noon and Naruto still hasn't woken up. He looks thoughtful for a few before getting up to start making lunch, guessing that Naruto will be starved once the young blond wakes up. He goes through the pantry, deciding to make something special for the six year old, soon to be seven year old.
-/-Urd-/-
She finds her supposed brother-in-law looking wistfully into the sky. "Geeze, brooding doesn't work for you, Keiich. Lighten up, Bell and Skuld are fine." He tells the young man. "Urd? Urd!" Keiichi says and turns around to confront her. "Where's Bell? Is she alright? What's going on? Where did you three go?" Keiichi asks in rapid succession.
She holds up her hands, as if to stave off more questions. "Well, first of all, Bell and Skuld are currently resting. Yes, Bell's fine, I don't know what's going on, expect that practically all the gods and demons now have a new land to call home, and that's where we were transported. Currently, Aaron and myself are the only ones awake, don't know why but that's just how it turned out." She informs the very concerned young man before her. "Can I see her?" Keiichi asks.
She blinks and runs it through her head before replying, "I believe so." She murmurs a teleportation spell for the both of them; she draws on power beyond her mana. She's surprise to find such power readily answer her summons. They appear in the room that she woke up in. Keiichi gasps and she leads the way through the sleeping bodies, Keiichi following her once the young human man recovers from his shock.
"Bell!" Keiichi shouts, the young man begins to check her sister over. She glances around, making sure everyone is alright. Keiichi sighs and asks, "Isn't there a way to wake her?" She shakes her head. "I don't know the cause of the slumber and I don't know if the spell could cause negative effects that will to those that are slumbering. All we can do is search around for the cause and then take it out as best as we can." She says rude fully. "Plus, it looks like the Almighty and my mother aren't around either, so that leaves Aaron for the demons and myself for the gods. If it helps, the four Digimon Sovereigns have a lead and were following up on it." She adds.
Keiichi sighs and seems to fold in on himself. She puts a comforting hand on Keiichi's shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll find a way to wake them up that doesn't have any major backlash. They're my sisters and I do want them up and around as soon as possible." She comments. Keiichi sighs and collects himself. The young man gets up and she transports them back to the temple.
She leaves once she enchants a necklace so that Keiichi can get a hold of her. She vanishes in the TV screen, arriving at the apartment in Ranma's world. She finds Naruto practicing what she taught him and TK working on the lab top computer he brought along. She reclines on the couch, a bottle of sake already in her hand. She takes a few sips from the bottle before she turns her attention to the TV. She channel surfs as she lays on the couch. Her thoughts drift to a lot of different subjects, not really paying a lot of attention to what's on TV.
-/-Zor-/-
He's just glad to be heading back home. Things between Ranma and the Amazons were finally over as well as Nabiki has Nodoka well in hand. They had some unusual souvenirs for the Digidestine. He glances over to where Naruto is, the boy looks very pleased and the six year old had a right to be since he did play an important part in finally ending the whole thing with the Amazons.
He just grins as he replays the whole incident in his mind.
("-o-")
They finally had a plan in how to get the Amazons off Ranma's back for good. Though the back up plan was for Urd to place a spell on the whole tribe so that they all end up visiting Jusenkyo, the women would be most likely end up with gender bending curses while the men get beast ones. Of course they the plan was focusing on Shampoo rather then Cologne, though they did need Cologne's signature to make it an official document.
The biggest problem would come from Cologne and Mousse, since neither would like to see Shampoo tricked by simple but effective plan they had cooked up. Luckily the order of instance Jusenkyo springs had arrived the day before and they plan to use at least on of the packets. It was decided that Naruto would be an integral part of the plan.
They already had Doc Tufo to sign as a creditable witness as did Hinako Ninomiya. Urd had enchanted the paper and then had Nabiki set the terms of what would happen if Shampoo loses the contest. Once that's all in order, it was up to Naruto to get Cologne's signature.
"Ok, so what happens if Shampoo turns into a cat? Should I chase her?" Naruto asks. "What's important is getting the page signed and then getting out of there before Cologne realises that there's a page over the document. Besides, you can chase Shampoo later, like after the contest." He informs the young blond. Naruto nods, the kid's eyes sparkling with mischief and anticipation of the trick they're about to pull on the Amazons.
"Ok, squirt, any last things you want to do while you're human?" Urd asks and Naruto shakes his head rapidly. Urd then opens the thermos and pores some of the water into the lid. Then Urd drops the contains of the cup on Naruto's head, he nods in approval as Naruto sends his cloths into his subspace pocket. Naruto barks and wags his tail, he smiles and pats the blond wolf on the head.
"Remember we will play later, but for now, we work." He says softly and Naruto gives him a wolfish grin before trotting down the street to where the Cat Café is. Urd and him wait for Naruto to arrive, neither were concerned since it would take time for Naruto to not just slip into the café, but to place the page by Cologne and then to wait for the elder to sign it.
About five hours later, Mousse chases Naruto out of the building, he notices how messy Mousse's robes were, which means that Naruto must have caused some mischief to the cursed martial artist in order to escape. Mousse doesn't chase the blond wolf that's actually a six year old once out of the café.
Urd and him retreat, heading to the closest park where they agreed would be the second meeting point. It's not long before Naruto races up to him, the blond's tail waging as Naruto places his forepaws on his hips. Naruto barks excitedly at him and then looks over to Urd. He chuckles and pets Naruto behind the ears, Naruto parts his jaws, giving them a large grin despite the fact that he's not human at the moment.
"So Cologne did sign it?" He asks and Naruto barks as well as the tail wagging increases. "Can we have it?" Urd asks and Naruto drops onto all fours and Naruto grows still, the blue eyes were closed as well. Naruto sighs and the page appears. Urd picks it up and sighs in relief on seeing the signature. Naruto shakes himself and looks at him, he sighs and nods to Urd as she heads off to put the next step into effect.
He summons a ball and Naruto perks, the tag wagging lazily behind Naruto. It's not long before they were goofing off; they stop as supper draws near. A ball of warm water appears hovering over his right open hand. Naruto sighs and prepares for the transformation. He commands the ball of water to rain on Naruto, soon the blond wolf gives way to a blond kid.
He takes the young blond out for supper, Naruto is soon chatting his ear off about how great it had been to have been in the form of a wolf. He just smiles and nods often, listening with half a ear to what Naruto says. His thoughts were actually on how sad it was that Naruto hadn't had anyone to be there for him. He could only guess how lonely Naruto had been as he watches interactions of families and knowing that he'd never have one as long as he's within Hidden Leaf.
Also it seems that it'll be a while before they solve this mystery, which means he might just enrol the young blond in school. He does want Naruto make friends his own age as well as get a good education. He decides to bring it up with Naruto tonight, just to get the young blond comfortable about the idea of school in his home reality.
:-P
Shampoo signs the document once the young bimbo sees her grandmother's signature. The contest that Shampoo had agreed to compete in the intellectual contest against Nabiki, the document ensures that if Shampoo loses that no Amazons will ever hound Ranma, the Tendos, and the dimensional travelers, that's also why they needed Cologne's signature so the spell would be able to be applied to all the current Amazons and future generations.
It's an unbreakable document that the Amazons can't break or find loop holes in either. Those that try… will wake from a coma that would have lasted a whole year. If the offender tries for a third time, they'll find themselves in a coma that'll last a total of ten years; they lost more then just a year of their life and it seems kind of fitting since it will most likely keep them from trying a fourth time, he's sure that if someone's stupid enough to try a fourth time… they may never wake from their coma ever again.
He shakes those thoughts out of his head. He notices that Naruto's currently attempting to read a book written in kanji, it seems that's the written language that jutsu are written in. He plans on teaching Naruto how to read and write in English as well as how to speak it as well. English is coming to be the universal language of the world in which he lives in, if it isn't already.
He sighs and ruffles Naruto's spiky blond hair. The young blond just sighs and glances his way. "Nobody took time to teach you how to read and write, huh?" He asks and Naruto blushes. "Don't worry; we'll start on lessons once we return home. I can get you started and school will help polish the skills." He informs the young kid and Naruto nods, clearly embarrassed about his lack of skills.
"Shouldn't we get ready to go, Zor?" Naruto asks, changing the subject. He glances at the clock and nods in agreement. Not long they're on their way out of the apartment, heading to the local high school for the contest that's been set up. He's curious as to how many questions Shampoo will get right, despite having a poor Japanese linguistic skills. 'She can't be as stupid as she acts or sounds.' He thinks to himself as he walks through the gate.
("-o-")
He can still recall the results of that contest, especially Cologne's reaction on reading the document they had tricked the Amazon's into signing.
