Ranma was currently in his own dimension, within the realm, the domain controlled by the Saotome clan, he laid atop his bed, fully clothes, his room made up of black walls, the 'colour' swirling and mixing, filled with dark magic, a large book case against the right wall, filled with books and ancient tomes.
Ranma lifted his arm, a dark sphere formed within his hand, hovering above his palm, within it an image of Ranko appeared, she was sat within her wheelchair, in her room, alone, reading an old tome.
'She was willing to offer her soul so easily, the ultimate prize for any demon, Devils more so, the soul of a mortal the more innocent the better…when a human gives up their soul they condemn themselves to an eternity of suffering at the hands to the demon they gave it too…thus her fate after death is my choice and mine alone, she knows this yet she gave up her soul so easily' Ranma mused.
'Ranma come here' a female voice echoed within his mind, he rolled his eyes, he recognised the voice, it was his mother Nodoka Saotome, she had gained quite the reputation over the years and was known for her power almost as much as her cruelty, her name brought fear to others, but not Ranma his power was close to rivalling her and she was very easy to please and keep off his back, basically act perverted and she won't threaten him.
Ranma slid out of bed, the minute his feet hit the ground, the scarlet the magic circle formed around his feet, he let out a tired sigh, his room vanished and the next thing he knew he was in his mother's bed chambers, before him now was a large bed, the room itself was dark, so much so not even his sharp eyesight could see clearly but he could make out the shadowy figure of his mother.
"Mom you know I hate it when you use your transportation circles" Ranma droned.
"Now, now is that anyway to greet your mother?" Nodoka replied.
"Depends on the reason you summon me" Ranma retorted, Nodoka gave her son a small smirk.
"I heard that you made a contract the other day" Nodoka replied.
"So, you always make contracts why would it matter if I made one?" Ranma replied taking a relaxed stance.
"Ranma I make a contract every time I am summoned you though, you drop half the requests and in the past century you haven't made any so why now?" Nodoka asked.
"The mortal who summoned me…she intrigued me" Ranma replied.
'She? Perhaps my son is acting as a true Devil among Devils again' Nodoka thought with a small smirk.
"So what are the details of this contract?" Nodoka asked.
"I protect her and when she dies I get her soul" Ranma responded, if Nodoka had been drinking at that moment she would of spat whatever she was drinking out.
"Her soul? How'd you manage to get that?" Nodoka asked, her tone one of excitement.
"It was the first thing she offered me when I asked for payment" Ranma replied.
'The first thing?' Nodoka gasped within her mind.
"Why would she give that up so quickly?" Nodoka asked.
"Mortals do stupid things when they've lost all hope…she feels so alone and the night she summoned me she hit rock bottom and doesn't care what happens after she dies" Ranma replied.
"What's her name?" Nodoka then asked.
"Why?" Ranma asked, making eye contact with his mother through the darkness.
"Because I am going to research into her life see if there's a reason she would be so willing to give up her soul" Nodoka replied.
"Of course there's a reason" Ranma responded.
"But you won't tell me" Nodoka countered, Ranma let out a tired sigh.
"Her name is Ranko Tendo" Ranma responded.
'Tendo…if memory serves a Tendo trained with my husband beneath that incubus Happosai…perhaps I should pay close attention to this girl' Nodoka mused.
"So are you going to be staying with this girl?" Nodoka asked, Ranma saw where this was going easily.
"Mom the contract states I will protect her not rape her" Ranma droned, he felt an incredible wave of dark power was over him, he glanced back to see his mother's eyes glowing crimson.
"Oh if it isn't the whole Devil among Devils, demon among demons thing again, why am I not surprised" Ranma sighed.
"RANMA YOU WILL FULFIL THE CONTRACT" Nodoka roared, the whole room shaking, her voice demonic.
"You may wanna check the inside of your kimono" Ranma droned, Nodoka flinched before opening her kimono slightly and saw something missing, her son then held up his hand, index finger extended, revealing a lacy bra hanging from it, he let it drop to the floor.
"I see you've improved, I didn't even notice" Nodoka praised, Ranma ignored her and left the room.
"I swear she's sick even for our kind" Ranma muttered to himself "Maybe I should stay with Ranko just to get a break from her" he continued.
