Hinako watched Ranma closely as he took next to Akane.
'A first class vampire who practises the same style as me…I'll have to keep a close eye on him' she mused to herself as she admired his figure, she didn't know why but she felt almost drawn to him and felt incredible power within him.
Lunch…
Ranma sat atop a branch of a tree in the courtyard, a small beaker in front of him that he'd 'borrowed' from the science department, within was a dark green liquid giving off smoke.
"Ranma what are you doing?" Akane yelled from the foot of the tree, the elder vampire glanced down at her.
"Just making up a little recipe I borrowed from the Chinese amazons…it'll speed up the healing process in my arm, my bones are beginning to grow back and this should finish the job" Ranma replied as he dropped in a small squid tentacle. The minute the limb fell into the liquid it dissolved and turned the liquid purple before draining down the contents.
Pain surged throughout Ranma's body and this showed upon his expression, he brought his fist to his mouth and bit down, hard, to muffle any sound of pain that tried to pass his lips.
Akane's eyes widened as she watched her fiancé's body pulsate and spasm about, she could see how much pain Ranma was in and began to worry, she may not be too fond of her fiancé of the engagement but that didn't mean she was heartless, she began to worry more when the scent of blood touched her nostrils. Her eyes widened further, her irises flashing crimson r when she saw two streams of blood slide down Ranma's hand.
Soon Ranma's body stopped moving and he slowly eased his hand away from his mouth and now Akane could clearly see Ranma's blooded fangs, the two holes I his hand slowly closed back up, he flexed his other arm and was relieved he had recovered.
"Are you okay Ranma?" Akane called up before leaping to one of the other branches where she landed in a crouch like position, slightly above Ranma.
"Yeah" Ranma gasped out.
"You sure?" Akane asked once again, the concern in her voice never faltering, Ranma looked so weak, he was leaning against the trunk of the tree looking exhausted, his forehead sweating.
"Give me some credit Akane…I just need to catch my breath" Ranma replied weakly.
"You don't breath" Akane replied with a slight sweat drop.
"Ha smart ass…I just need to rest a little and then I'll be fine" Ranma replied.
Sunset…
Ranma was currently lying on his mat in his room, he felt stronger than before but was still weak until the sun disappeared and the full moon rose, empowering all demons beneath its light, including Ranma. A smirk grew upon Ranma's lips, his fangs extending as he felt his power been restored, a dark fire like aura surrounded him. His crimson eyes snapped open fully extending his senses and his power.
Down stairs Akane was sat at the table fidgeting, well aware that tonight was the night she promised to go hunting with Ranma and go against everything she had been taught and everything she believed, she and the other residents of the Tendo household felt a shiver up their spine as an incredible wave of dark energy washed over them.
"Looks like the boys awake" Genma muttered, Soun turned to his old friend surprised.
"You mean…that darkness…that power…was you son?" Soun almost gasped out.
"Yeah…he takes after his mother and he sort of inherited her darkness as well as her powers" Genma replied.
A loud thud was heard outside, the household occupants turned to see Ranma. Ranma turned to look at Akane.
"A deals a deal Akane now come on" Ranma stated as he playfully licked his fangs.
"Deal? Akane what is he talking about?" Soun asked as he turned to his youngest daughter, Akane averted her gaze.
"The only way to stop Ranma from attacking and feeding off of a girl was to make a deal with him" Akane responded.
"Akane…you shouldn't just make a deal with Ranma…he's like his mother his deals are dangerous and he's very manipulative" Genma warned.
"Shut it she made the deal and it's not like I'm asking for her soul just a chance" Ranma growled.
"A chance?" Nabiki questioned.
"The deal was Ranma spared her if he could take me out hunting and after tonight if I don't want any part of it he stops feeding in Nerima" Akane explained.
'I should of known Ranma would corrupt her…the minute Akane tastes human blood she'll be addicted…want more' Genma mused to himself.
"You coming or going back on your word?" Ranma called, Akane rose to her feet and approached him.
"Vampires never go back on their word" Akane responded, causing Ranma's slight smirk to grow.
The duo leapt into the air and began hopping from rooftop to rooftop, searching for someone to prey upon, clinging to the shadows. Akane felt incredible, she had always felt the power of the full moon but had never been able to use it except when training.
The duo stopped and clung to the shadows of one of the rooftops and looked down at the street where a feminine figure was walking down, she appeared to be searching for something or someone, Akane stared at the figure, her eyes shooting to her neck and zoning in on the pulse, she licked her lips as her fangs began to sharpen, the moon increasing the power of her vampiric instincts as well as her abilities, one of the main reasons demons were to remain at home, slayers patrolled the streets with jurisdiction to slay any demon to break this law.
Ranma focused on the figure, she wasn't armed 'Who would go out on a full moon in a town filled with demons and not carry any weapons' Ranma mused, Ranma inhaled deeply taking in the scent of their apparent prey and found she wasn't a slayer, slayers had certain drugs in their blood to improve their performance which unfortunately made their blood taste better and smell better.
Akane was about to charge in when Ranma gripped her shoulder hard, Akane winced and turned to Ranma.
"Something's not right Akane…she isn't armed and on a night like tonight that's suicide" Ranma stated.
"So what…we move on to someone who is armed?" Akane asked sceptically.
"No…I need to check this out, wait here" Ranma replied before vanishing from Akane's side, using his super speed to approach his prey, stopping just behind her, the girl began to turn round, only to have Ranma flash behind her, the girl had blue hair that fell down to her rear and had an impressive figure and smooth skin.
Ranma slowly continued to draw nearer to the girl, keeping his senses at their peak instead of zoning in, searching for any sign of an ambush but the only one near them besides Akane was an old human, a smirk formed on Ranma's lips, he brought his hand round and cuffed her mouth and pulled her against him and began to bring his mouth to her neck when the girl grabbed his arm before tossing him over her as she took on a fighting stance, Ranma landed on his back before getting back to his feet before she could blink.
"So you're not just a sitting duck" Ranma muttered, taking on a loose stance.
-Who are you?- she asked in mandarin.
-I think the better question is who are you…the last time I saw that stance was when I took on an amazon a couple hundred years ago- Ranma replied.
-It's been a while son-in-law- a new voice said, Ranma looked round ignoring his supposed prey, the girl began to fume that Ranma had not only dared to attack her a Chinese amazon but was now treating her like she wasn't worth time of day, she began launching several punches and kicks at Ranma only to have him block them with a single hand.
-Not long enough Cologne…time certainly been kind to you- Ranma replied while continuing to block the girls attacks, until she got a lucky hit on the centre of his back, a powerful one too, Ranma's eyes turned crimson and clouds began to form in the sky and lightning struck, he slowly turned and looked over his shoulder after stumbling forward.
Ranma span round at incredible speed before landing a very a strong punch to her gut before following up with an equally powerful uppercut, she went up flying into the air, Ranma appeared above her, flipping in the air before landing a powerful kick to her sending her plummeting to the ground like a meteor, forming a large crater when she hit the ground, Ranma landed on the edge of the crater and turned back to the amazon.
-I see you've already met my great granddaughter Xian Pu- Cologne added.
-So much for you granddaughter been married to me- Ranma mused.
-She is and had she not of gotten a second husband Shampoo wouldn't be here…we've been tracking you for twenty one years and now that we've found you we are going to take you back to China…by force if necessary- Cologne replied.
-Good luck, better than you have tried and all have failed and never lived to tell their tale- Ranma replied, about to turn and take his leave to find the other girl in front of him, apparently his stepdaughter do to Amazonian marriage law, she closed in on Ranma with speed that wasn't human and planted a kiss upon kiss lips.
-Damn I forgot about your damn kiss of marriage law- Ranma groaned, the old woman chuckled.
-Well for one thing you certainly make things interesting son-in-law- Cologne laughed.
-Great…do those damn laws of your not know when to stop according to them I just married my own stepdaughter- Ranma groaned.
-Not really, the first come first serve was abolished two centuries ago to increase the number of powerful descendants born- Cologne replied.
-Fine what do I care you'll never get me back to your village, I don't care about your laws any way…what I do care about is what the hell is she? That speed was too much even for a human who trained their speed for three centuries- Ranma snapped.
-While tracking for you we had a run in with a werecheetah who managed to get in a lucky bite- Cologne replied, Ranma let out a roar at Xian Pu, she flinched back in fear.
-If there's one thing I hate it's a 'were' creature- Ranma roared, his voice turning demonic, before the amazons could say anything more he flashed to Akane's side before taking her home, saying they would resume the hunt at a later date.
