Ranma 1/2, High School DxD, Darkstalkers and the rest are owned by their respective owners. I own nothing.

If only I did.

Before I go any further, I should mention that I had written several chapters ahead before I started the flashback chapters when one my pre-readers pointed out that I needed some flashback chapters to make things later in the story make sense.

Part 2

It was three days later that Ranma, Lilith and Arisa went to school. Arisa had been held out of school as her parents had taken her to see a psychologist to help her with any lingering trauma and neither Ranma nor Lilith really cared to go to school. Since the Bannings had been nice enough to put them up for their stay, the two took complete advantage of it.

Genma looked at David as the latter man got ready for work. "You know..." He paused. "Your girl gets along pretty well with my boy."

"Sometimes." David chuckled, knowing how Arisa tended to be a bit stand-offish at times. "Why do you bring this up?"

"Well, if they were to marry..." Genma paused as David held a hand up.

"Genma, I appreciate the thought, but I'm not going to arrange a marriage for my little girl when she's barely even ten years old." He shook his head. "I do admit that I think that your boy would be good for Arisa, but I'd rather they got married on their own accord, not because their parents arranged things behind their backs."

"Ah, a shame." Genma nodded, though he was disappointed. 'If he had accepted, then I'd rather return here when we're done with our trip.' Soun would be majorly disappointed, but Genma would have had to convince his friend to push it to the next generation. After all, the schools would still be united and Genma could live a comfortable life in retirement. 'Too bad.'

Privately, Genma thought about stealing from the Bannings before he left with Ranma and Lilith, but decided against it. Not because he had decided that stealing was wrong, but rather, with how rich the Bannings were, he would never be able to get away with it for too long.

There were limits to how much you could get away with, after all. And people who were as rich as the Bannings were tended to have lots of connections with the kinds of people Genma didn't want to deal with.

No, it was probably for the best that Genma didn't steal from the Bannings while he was there.

The missing silverware made out of actual silver didn't count.

Riding in the car with Arisa, Ranma grimaced as he tugged at the white school uniform he was wearing. "This sucks."

"Get used to it." Arisa, who was sitting in the back seat with Ranma and Lilith, said as she crossed her left leg over her right knee. "Also," she fidgeted, "you won't tell anyone..."

"That you were so sick that you threw up on Ranma the first day we met?" Lilith asked with a grin. "That your mother's extremely distant cousin, who wanted to take his two kids on a cross-country trip to meet every member of the family, was shocked that you were allowed to answer the door when you were so sick?"

"Ah..." Arisa blinked a few times and nodded, remembering the cover story that her parents had come up with to keep her out of school for the past few days. "How did..?"

Ranma held a finger up and attempted to deepen his voice to sound like Genma. "Boy! There are times that you have to keep a secret for one reason or another, so always remember your cover stories and don't screw up or it'll cause a lot of trouble for everyone."

Arisa gawked, sure it was a poor imitation of Genma's voice from what she heard from the older man, but it was pretty good for what it was. "Well, yes, but you know what I meant." Ranma and Lilith both gave her a confused look and she almost screamed. "You know what I mean!"

"It's your story to tell, not mine." Ranma told her as he crossed his arms over his chest.

The small blonde stared in surprise. "Uh... Okay." There was no way she was going to tell anyone that she had been kidnapped.

Especially not her two closest friends.

(-)

Nanoha Takamachi, a young girl of nine years old, who was wearing a white school uniform. She had reddish-brown hair done up in two short pigtails on the side of her head, her eyes were a deep blue, bordering on purple.

Next to her, Suzuka Tsukimura, a girl the same age as Nanoha, who had long, purple hair flowing down her back, her eyes were a lighter shade of blue compared to Nanoha's. She wore the same white school uniform as Nanoha as the two walked into the school building. "I hope that Arisa-chan is doing well."

Nanoha nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, you and I can go over to her house today with all the homework and help her get caught up if she's still sick." Suzuka nodded with a smile. "And she can meet Yuuno."

Suzuka smiled and nodded. "Such a silly name for a ferret." Both of them giggled as they thought about the wounded animal that Nanoha had found just the other day. "I'm glad he's okay. Especially with that weird explosion at the vet's office."

Nanoha just smiled and nodded. "Yes, it's a good thing that he was inside and not outside, otherwise he might have gotten hurt."

After getting inside and getting their supplies from their locker, the two went to their classroom and were greeted by a pleasant surprise. "Arisa-chan!" Nanoha gasped as she and Suzuka quickly made their way over to their blonde friend, who was sitting at the desk and looking out the window. Arisa turned and her face lit up upon seeing her friends. "Are you okay? I heard you were sick." Nanoha asked.

Arisa nodded and smiled. "I'm not completely better, but I'm not going to puke everywhere."

"That's good." Suzuka said with a smile as she and Nanoha sat in their desks next to Arisa. "I was worried that you weren't coming back."

Arisa laughed nervously. "Oh please, it would take more than some icky bug to keep me out of school forever." Her friends nodded. "So, can you help me get caught up?"

"Of course." Nanoha smiled at her. "We were going to bring over what you missed out on tonight if you didn't show up today."

"Thanks." Arisa nodded as the teacher came in.

"Okay, class, settle down." The teacher, a young woman in her twenties with short, dark hair, smiled as she walked in. "We have a new student joining us for today." There was some murmurs of confusion as she smiled and looked at the door as a boy wearing a male school uniform walked in. "Please introduce yourself."

The boy nodded as he turned to the class. "Hello. My name is Ranma Saotome and I'm traveling with my father to see all the different parts of Japan." There were various sounds of impressed kids and the teacher told them to calm down. "My father has some distant relatives in town and we're visiting them while we're here and plan the next part of our trip."

"Excellent." The teacher smiled at him. "Why don't you take an open seat near the window there and we can begin our classes?" Ranma nodded and made his way over to the window, which put him right behind Nanoha.

While Ranma quickly found the lessons boring, he privately hoped that Lilith wasn't causing too much trouble in her class, as she was put into the class a year before his.

As the school day let out, Ranma let out a yawn. "Soooo boring!" He groused as he walked out of the school, bleary eyed. He saw Lilith standing by the entrance grinning. "...What did you do?"

"Nothing." The small girl said with a mischevious smirk on her face. Ranma gave her a flat stare and she pouted. "You're no fun."

"No, it's just your idea of fun, for some reason, involves whipped cream, rope and clothes pins and I STILL don't know what you're doing with all of that."

"I still need to find a weed-eater and a live chicken." Lilith muttered and shook her head. "Nevermind that, I found some fun stuff!" She grabbed his hand and dragged him off of school grounds.

"Like what?" Ranma asked as the two ran down the street.

"I was bored in class," Lilith said in a quiet tone, "so I used some shadow magic to sneak around town." Ranma nodded, wishing that he could do that. "And I found something interesting at a shrine."

"What's at the shrine?" Ranma asked as the two turned another corner and continued to run. He didn't know where Lilith was taking him, but he suspected that it was towards the shrine.

As they ran, they passed a small, yellow ferret that was on top of a stone wall. The ferret turned its head to look at them curiously. The ferret let out a sound before turning and running after them.

After several minutes, the two kids got to a set of large, stone stairs and ran up them.

"So what's out here that's got you so excited?" Ranma asked as Lilith let go of his arm and ran forward to the area right in front of the stone statues. "What's that?" He asked as Lilith bent over and picked something off of the ground.

"I don't know." She said as she turned around and held a small blue gem that looked like it was created in the shape of a lemon. "But it's pretty and it has magic of some sort in it."

Ranma sweat-dropped heavily. "Didn't you learn anything from last time?"

"Oh come on!" Lilith yelled at him while stomping her foot on the ground. "How was I supposed to know that touching that pizza would get you, me and Genma all trapped in it while that monster tried to cook us?"

Ranma wanted to say something when the jewel in Lilith's hand started to throb. "Uh..." He stared at Lilith's right hand. She looked down at her hand and stared as it was glowing blue. "Get rid of that thing before it, BWAH?!" He let loose a yell as Lilith was suddenly engulfed in energy. "This isn't good."

When the energy subsided, Lilith was standing there, except much taller and more mature. She had large C-cup breasts, was taller than Genma and her arms and legs were quite muscular. Her hair was pitch black, her pupils were green with black sclera surrounding them. On top of her head were two horns and giant wings were extended out of her back, along with a long, spade-like tail. "Interesting..." Lilith purred.

"You idiot!" Ranma yelled at her as he jumped up and belted her on the top of her head. "You're supposed to keep this hidden! What are you thinking?" Lilith frowned at the hit and looked at Ranma. The next thing Ranma knew, Lilith's fist was buried in his gut and he was blasted across the shrine grounds and into a tree. "GAH!"

"I think..." Lilith began, her voice deeper than Ranma was used to hearing. "That I want my meal." She spread her wings before they suddenly broke apart and a swarm of bats flew at Ranma, who was coughing while on his hands and knees.

"Look out!" A voice said as a green barrier formed in front of Ranma, blocking the attack.

"W...what?" Ranma asked as he blinked in surprise. "A ferret?"

"Are you okay?" The ferret asked him without looking at him.

Ranma blinked a few times and sat up. "...A talking ferret... Who uses magic... Well, that's odd." It wasn't the weirdest thing ever, but it was different. He shook his head as he built up some magical power. "Can you keep that barrier up?" The ferret looked back at him and nodded. "Okay, thanks. Let's see, it goes... Um... Oh right." Ranma nodded as he remembered the incantation. "Lightning, come to the palm of my hand..." He held up his hand as clouds started to darken above him. "And defeat my enemies. Lightning..." The ferret watched in surprise as a small bolt of lightning crashed down on the boy, pooling into his right hand before he snapped it forward. "Blast!"

"A wild mage?!" The ferret gasped in surprise. "I thought this planet didn't have very many magic users."

The lightning blasted out and hit the transformed Lilith, who let out a loud groan. Suddenly a pulse of power erupted from the transformed girl, causing the lightning to dissipate. "That hurt, Ranma!" She growled at Ranma. "You should treat a girl better!"

"I don't suppose you can do more than just a barrier?" Ranma asked as he held up his hand and several balls of fire formed around him. "Fire missile, rocket forth! Fire!"

The ferret shook his head as the fireballs launched themselves at Lilith, who simply flapped her wings, dissipating them. "No, I might have recovered somewhat from my injuries, but I don't have any real offensive magic. I'm sorry, I'll try and get help from someone." He gasped as Lilith held up her hands and a sphere of pure dark energy formed above her head. "That's too strong! I won't be able to block it."

"Well, whatever you need to do." Ranma said as he grabbed the ferret and jumped out of the way as Lilith dropped her arm and the sphere of energy crashed into the ground, sending out waves of power that caused Ranma and the ferret to go flying away. "GAH!" He cried out while hitting the ground hard, but still rolling with the attack and keeping the ferret safe. "You okay, animal?"

"Yuuno."

"Huh?" Ranma blinked and looked at the ferret.

"My name is Yuuno." He said to Ranma. "And help is almost here."

Ranma nodded and put Yuuno down. "Well, whatever, if you got super ferrets coming, that's fine with me." He ran forward, jumping off of trees as Lilith's wings suddenly became tendrils and lashed out at him. Landing on a tree, Ranma closed his eyes and focused on his magic. "Dang it, if I was stronger, I could..." He opened his eyes and gasped as Lilith was in front of him and grabbing him by his head before she rushed to where Yuuno was and slammed Ranma's body against the barrier that Yuuno threw up, getting him to cry out.

"Oh no!" Yuuno gasped before he felt something wrap around his body, looking down, he saw a shadowy tendril wrapped around his torso as he was yanked up and off of the ground and he was thrown into the air before the tendril, which was still around his body, yanked him down and into Lilith's hand.

"Well, well, well..." Lilith, who was getting bigger and more muscular by the moment, grinned as she looked at Ranma and Yuuno. "I have two cute boys in my hands, I'm going to enjoy this meal."

"...Say ah." Ranma said.

"Ah?" Lilith asked in confusion before Ranma snapped his arm out and blasted her mouth with lightning, causing her to cry out in pain before she threw both Ranma and Yuuno away from her. "THAT HURT!"

Ranma groaned as he landed on his butt. "That was the point!"

The next thing Lilith knew, she was stumbling forward as an explosion rocked her from behind. Turning around, she saw a young girl with reddish-brown hair, blue-purple eyes in a white dress with pink wings on her feet while holding a white staff with a crescent moon top that surrounded a large, red gem.

"Nanoha!" Yuuno cried out in relief. "Be careful! She's really strong."

Nanoha nodded as several pink orbs formed around her. "Don't worry, Yuuno-kun, I got this!" She gasped as several blades of darkness were launched up at her.

"Protection." A feminine voice was heard as a barrier formed in front of Nanoha. "Master! Behind."

"Huh?" Nanoha turned around, only to find Lilith driving her foot into Nanoha's stomach and launching the small girl to the ground. "AH!" She cried out as she bounced on the ground.

"Nanoha!" Yuuno cried out as Nanoha got up while clutching at her stomach. "Are you okay?"

Nanoha nodded as she pointed her staff at Lilith. "Divine... Shooter!" She launched the orbs at Lilith, who flew up, but much to the transformed girl's surprise, the orbs changed directions and flew up at her, crashing into her large frame before she got to high and causing her to fall down.

"Hey!" Ranma shook his head as he stood up. "You ain't going to be able to beat her that easily, trust me, she doesn't run out of energy very easily. Do you got some way to tie her down and get rid of that gem in her chest?"

"Yes." The feminine voice that came from the staff spoke up.

"Cool, I'll distract her." Ranma said as Lilith came crashing through the trees. "Hey! Lilith!" The transformed girl looked at him and he pointed behind her. "Oh my god! Is that a naked man?!"

"HUH?!" Lilith spun around. "Naked man?! Where?!" There was a rumble below her feet and she looked down as a pillar of fire surrounded her body, causing her to cry out.

Ranma was on his knees with his hands on the ground, sweating. "If you got something that can deal with her, do it! I can't keep this up for long!"

Nanoha nodded. "Right!"

"Restrict lock." The feminine voice from her staff spoke up and Lilith found herself wrapped up in chains that trapped her arms by her side. "Now, my master."

"Yes!" Nanoha said as she flew up to Lilith as the fire pillar died down. "Ready?" She asked as her staff started to glow with power. "Take this!"

Both Ranma and Yuuno sweat-dropped as Nanoha used her staff like a mace and swung upwards, hitting Lilith in the jaw before slamming it into her chest where the Jewel Seed was at. "Nanoha! Raising Heart is a delicate Intelligent Device! Please don't use it like a bludgeoning insturment!" Yuuno yelled out.

"Jewel Seed sixteen, sealed." Raising Heart said as Lilith was engulfed in light.

"Ahhhhh!" Lilith's monstrous voice was heard as she shrank, her voice returning to normal as she turned back into her human form. "Urgh..." Lilith staggered around before falling on her butt. "I don't feel good..." She put her hand over her mouth before trying to scramble to a tree. Nanoha grabbed her and helped her up as she made it to the grass and vomited all over the grass and trees.

"Eww..." Nanoha, Ranma and Yuuno all said at the same time.

"Sh..." Lilith tried to speak before she threw up again. "Shut up!" She screamed and wiped her mouth off. "That evil gem tried to kill me!" Lilith's eyes went cross-eyed as she suddenly puked again. "Ugh... I don't feel good."

Nanoha smiled nervously and rubbed Lilith's back. "There, there, it'll be okay..."

Lilith shuddered and much to Nanoha and Yuuno's shock, wings popped out of her back and on her head, as did a spade-like tail from just above her butt.

"Oh dang it." Ranma yelled and ran over to her. "Lilith! Lilith! Stop!" He yelled and grabbed her shoulders, spinning her to look at him. "Calm down!"

The girl was panting, her eyes wide. "Hungry!"

The look in Lilith's eyes was scary and Ranma wasn't able to do anything as Lilith grabbed his arms and leaned in.

There was a loud smacking sound as Nanoha dropped Raising Heart on the top of Lilith's head, causing her to stiffen before slumping down. "Nyahahahaha..." Nanoha rubbed the back of her head. "She was being scary, so I thought I'd knock her out. But..." Nanoha looked at Lilith. "What is she?"

Ranma sighed as he picked Lilith up. "Come on, we should find a bench, I'll tell you then." Nanoha nodded as she transformed back into her school outfit and Raising Heart turned back into a small, red gem.

After getting away from the battlefield and getting to a bench that was out of view, Ranma put Lilith down on her front on it. "There." He adjusted her wings. "She'll be a bit sore, but she'll be fine."

"So..." Nanoha looked at Lilith, who was groaning. "Ah! You're awake?"

"Urgh, what the... OWWW! Dang it!" Lilith sat up and grabbed at the top of her head. "Did Genma kick my ass in training again?"

"No, you got possessed by an evil magic item and tried to eat me again." Ranma told her.

Lilith looked at him and her eyes widened. "Ah crap!" She groaned and rubbed the sore spot on her head. "Sorry, I couldn't control myself."

"But you're back to normal now?" Nanoha asked and Lilith nodded before pausing and turning her head to see Nanoha smiling at her nervously. "You were really scary when you were a big monster." She looked at Lilith's wings and tried to think of something to say. "...Your wings are cool to look at."

"AHH!" Lilith screamed in surprise and jumped up before falling to her knees. "URGH! Oww! My head hurts!"

Nanoha just laughed nervously.

(-)

Several minutes later...

"So..." Nanoha asked as she, Ranma, Lilith and Yuuno, who was on Nanoha's lap, all sat on the park bench. "What are you?"

"I'm a martial artist." Ranma told Nanoha, she looked at him in confusion. "Ah, I'm traveling across Japan to train with my dad and learn everything I can about martial arts and magic thanks to her," he gestured towards Lilith, "coming into my life."

"That's cool." Nanoha smiled at him. "My family has a dojo and my big brother and big sister like to train with the sword."

Yuuno looked at Lilith. "And you?"

"I'm a Succubus." Lilith smiled at him as she reached over and rubbed the top of the ferret's head. "And you really are cute, aren't you?"

"EH?!" Yuuno gasped in surprise. "A legendary Demon that's talked about on other worlds as tempting men and women, sucking out people's energy and sometimes going on killing rampages?" He quickly scurried to the top of Nanoha's head and trembled. "Nanoha! She's dangerous!"

Lilith pouted at that. "But I haven't done anything like that other than today. I haven't eaten anyone's soul or anything like that!" Heck, she was still a virgin for crying out loud!

Nanoha looked at Lilith curiously. "...Do you mean it? You haven't tried anything bad?"

"No!" Lilith shook her head. "I like fighting, it's why I travel with him." She pointed at Ranma. "He and his father are traveling across Japan and I go with them."

"Well..." Yuuno said and let out a small sigh. "I apologize then. I thought you were going to try to eat me."

Lilith waved her hand. "Maybe in a few years." Yuuno went stone white and Ranma kicked Lilith in the butt. "HEY!" She growled and got right up next to Ranma while rubbing her butt. "That wasn't nice!"

"Stop doing that succubus thing where you tease people just because you can." Ranma growled at her.

"Sure, I'll do that when you stop being a total jerk to me." Lilith growled at him. "And I mean it! You like to taunt me too much."

"Oh, like you're any better!" Ranma yelled at her. "You use that big, fat ass of yours to sit on my face when you want me to get up in the morning!"

Lilith smirked at him while her eye twitched. "I'll have you know that most guys and girls would love it if I sat on their faces with my big butt!"

"I don't know why! Your butt stinks!" Ranma growled at her.

"You take that back!" Lilith growled and tackled him to the ground.

"Nyahahahaha..." Nanoha laughed nervously as an errant breeze made her pigtails sway in the air. "Well, they're good friends."

Yuuno sweat-dropped as he watched Ranma and Lilith roll around on the ground while arguing. "...I guess?"

(-)

After a few more minutes of the two arguing, they were both sitting on the bench again, just covered in dirt, grass and leaves from where they had been wrestling.

"Well, at least now I know how Nanoha has so much magic power." Yuuno said, which caused the three kids to look at him curiously. "These two... They're wild mages."

"Huh?" Ranma, Lilith and Nanoha asked, confusion in their voices.

"Well, Wild Mages, or Native Magic Users as they're sometimes called," Yuuno began, "they use a different style of magic than what I or Nanoha use, but it's pretty strong, even if wasteful."

"Huh?" The three kids asked again and Yuuno rubbed the back of his head as best as he could.

"Well, I guess I should explain a bit, huh?" Yuuno asked and they nodded. "Okay, so, the magic system that I and Nanoha use is called Mid-Childan style. We use magic circles and mathematical formulas with magical energy to do our spells." The three nodded as they followed along. "In addition, we have a magical organ that lets us concentrate our magic. Most Wild Magic users don't have this organ and it flows through their bodies. So they typically need to chant, do a ritual to use magic power from another source or use a magic item. And it's different from Raising Heart." Yuuno said as he saw Nanoha open her mouth. "Raising Heart helps you cast spells, yes, but it's your own talent and hard work that lets you use them. If someone with less power than you holds Raising Heart, they won't get to use the same level of power. But a magic item that Wild Mages use has most of the power in the item. If it gets broken, then the power is gone. If Raising Heart gets broken, you can still use your magic, Nanoha."

"Ah!" Nanoha nodded, her eyes lighting up. "That makes sense."

"What do you mean, wasteful?" Ranma asked and Yuuno nodded.

"Well... Nanoha, could you create a magic sphere?" Yuuno asked and Nanoha did, holding up a palm as a magic orb formed above it. "Can you create one that big?" Yuuno asked and Ranma frowned as he focused his energy. While it took a few moments, eventually he created a bright green energy ball above his hand. "See? It took you a lot more effort to create the same size as Nanoha."

"So our style is bad?" Lilith asked and Yuuno shook his head.

"No, I've seen Wild Mages use spells that were a lot stronger than what they should be able to do, but there's a lot of energy that bleeds off is all." The ferret explained. "That's why Wild Mages can focus the energy and concentrate it and it becomes stronger, even though it's the same amount of power being used in the attack."

Lilith nodded as she thought about it. "So if we can stop the bleed off of power, we'd get a lot stronger?" Yuuno nodded. "So, Ranma, do you think your dad's back at Arisa's yet?"

"Probably." Ranma said with a nod.

"EH?!" Nanoha gasped in surprise. "Are you talking about Arisa Bannings?" They nodded to her. "She's one of my best friends. I was going to go see her today before Yuuno called me to come here! How about we go and see her?"

"Sure." Ranma nodded and the three got up and ran off towards the Bannings estate.

End Part 2

I don't know what happened, but while writing this, everything came super fast and easy and I couldn't stop writing. Go figure.
