Ranma's New Curse A Ranma 1/2 Inu-Yasha Crossover Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. This is a work of fanfiction, which means I get to play god and change the characters around as I see fit. HA HA HA! Notes: In the Ranma Universe this story starts out at the end of the battle with Saffron. In the Inu Yasha Universe it diverges from book 8. I will change little things as time goes on, ie the Inu Yasha group never meets Sango and anything after book 8 never happened. If the characters are OOC then I apologize I tried my best damn it! Ranma went through kata after kata in attempt to focus his mind to the task ahead of him. As he punched, kicked and literally danced around the dojo, he noticed his friends/enemies arrive. All his allies and enemies watched Ranma as he finished up his kata and turned to address them. "I've made a decision." Chapter 3: Ranma's Big Announcement ------------------------Earlier That Eveening---------------------- Nekohanten Cologne was once again sitting in the closed Nekohanten drinking Sake by herself. She missed her great grandaughter and her wayward husband. Ever since Shampoo had been brought to China with Mousse and Ranma following, she had been bored. With no waiters there was no business so she had no choice but to close up shop for the time being. Cologne continued to drink her sake and smoke her pipe until she was interrupted by the front doors opening. "Great-Grandmother I home!" Shampoo announced bubbly as she bounced into the Nekohanten with Mousse at her heels. "Welcome home Shampoo." Cologne greeted as she put her pipe down. "How was China?" "It very scary Great-Grandmother." Shampoo stated her bubbly voice turning serious. "Oh, what happened? "Violent-Pervert girl turn into doll and Ranma have to kill Phoenix God Saffron to save. That all I remember." "Oh." said Cologne a little surprised at this news. "Was son- in-law able to come back in one piece?" she asked as she sipped her sake. "Airen is fine." Shampoo smiled and then frowned. "But so is Violent-Pervert girl." Upon hearing this Cologne spit her sake all over Shampoo's face. Since it was warm she didn't change. When Cologne got her senses back she shouted at the girl. "What nonsense are you spouting girl! The immortal Phoenix can't be defeated by a mortal! Not even one like Ranma!" "But is true!" Shampoo said, angry at the fact that her elder did not believe her. "He tell us to come to Tendo Dojo tonight so he can make announcement. You go there and you see Shampoo not lying." with that she turned her back on the matriarch and walked toward her room. "That I shall child. That I shall." --------------------------Earlier That EEvening---------------------------- Okonomiyaki Uuchan's Ukyo was having a slow night. Ever since Ranma and the others had left for China an eerie silence had fallen over the rest of Nerima and the residents had been too scared to go out to eat. However the deliveries were coming in record numbers and poor Konatsu was tired from all the running he had to do to get all the deliveries to their proper homes. The phone rang once again and Konatsu groaned and sank further into the stool that he was sitting on. "argh no more deliveries..." Konatsu moaned. "Oh stop whining!" Ukyou told the kunoichi as she answered the phone. "Hello Okonomiyaki Uuchans, how can I help you?" <"Hello Uuchan."> "Ran-chan you're back!" Ukyo squealed as she cooked. <"Yeah I was wondering if you were busy tonight."> Ukyo looked around her restaurant and at the kunoichi sprawled in front of the counter. "We were just closing, why?" <"I would like you to come to the Tendo Dojo in about 20 minutes. And bring Konatsu with you."> "Sure Ran'chan but why?" <"I have an announcement to make and you should be there. Later"> *Click* "I wonder what that was about." she wondered as she hung up the phone. She then turned to Konatsu. "I'm gonna get changed, clean up and be ready to leave." and ran up the stairs. Konatsu cleaned the grill and the utensils that had been used and muttered to himself. "The things I do for my Ukyo-sama." ---------------------------Also Earlier That Evening--------------------------- The Kuno Mansion Tatewaki Kuno was, for once in his life, quiet and bored. The wicked sorcerer Saotome had no doubt fled from the wrath of the Blue Thunder so he had no one to humble. He wouldn't have minded because he could have been spending his time with his two lovely maidens, Akane Tendo and the Pig-tailed girl but they too had dissapeared. His thoughts, if they could be called that, were interrupted by the ringing of the phone. "You have reached the home of the Noble and Great Blue Thunder of Furinkan High." <"A simple hello would do Kuno-chan."> "Ah, if it isn't the vile yet resourceful Tendo Nabiki. To what do I owe this displeasure?" <"That's what I like about you Kuno-chan, you always make a girl feel wanted. I have some information that you would love knowing."> "And how much will this information cost me?" <"The usual rate plus any additional repair costs."> "Repair costs?" <"When it comes to the information I'm about to give you, you might accidently break something. Do you agree or not."> "Fine. This news better be good." <"Akane Tendo and the Pig-tailed girl are back in town."> "My loves return to me! Oh I knew they could stay from a manly specimen such as myself. Ah how they must yearn for me. I will be there at once." <"Not so fast Kuno-chan. Ranma is also back and it seems he has an announcement to make. He wants you to be there."> "Aha the sorcerous Saotome has finally decided to bow down before my superior skill like the peasant he is." <"Yeah, sure, whatever. Just make sure to be at the Tendo Dojo in 20 minutes. Later."> *Click* "Finally I will break the will the sorcerous Saotome holds over my two fair maidens. Fear not my loves I come anon!" Kuno shouted as he ran out of the house. In another room of the Kuno Mansion a dark figure was listening in on the converstion that was just held. As soon as Kuno leaves the house the figure reveals itself to be Kodachi Kuno in her usual Rose Leotard. "My darling Ranma-sama has finally come back to me. I will surely win his heart from those harlots tonight. OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!" she laughed as she took to the rooftops and followed her brother toward the Tendo home. ------------------------------Tendo Dojoo Present----------------------------------- The gathered members of the Nerima Wrecking waited for Ranma to get on with his announcement as they all thought seperate things. Cologne stared at Ranma trying to analyze his aura to see if what her grand- daughter had told her was correct. She still did not believe that Ranma had defeated the immortal Phoenix God. Something she felt she could not accomplish in the prime of her life. It was true the boys aura seemed stronger but not by much. However the Tendo girl was here and if Ranma was actually able to defeat the Pheonix God she wanted him even more as a member of the tribe. Akane looked on with worry. Ranma had not been acting like himself lately and was worried that he would do something rash. Although she liked the fact that he had not insulted ever since she woke up in his arms, she wasn't used to him being so silent. Shampoo, Kodachi and Ukyo were pretty much thinking the same thought. "He's gonna choose me!" Ryoga had walked back into the dojo when the group arrived after searching for the bathroom for about a half an hour. Wanting to know what Ranma was thinking he decided to stay still long enough to hear what he had to say. Kuno was reveling in the fact that soon the evil Ranma Saotome will be on his knees begging for mercy as the mighty Blue Thunder stood tall over him. Nabiki was a bit frazzled at the fact that Ranma was not surprised at the fact that the Kuno siblings showed up and was wondering if Ranma knew she called them. 'Nah he's not that smart.' "I'm glad you all were able to make it." Ranma started. He turned to Kuno and Kodachi. "I'm glad that Nabiki was able to contact you I didn't want to run into you later and have you bothering me." Out of the corner of his eye Ranma saw Nabiki's jaw drop and smirked a little. "If you are not already aware of this, I have just returned from Jusendo where I fought defeated Saffron, the Immortal Phoenix God to save the life of Akane Tendo." Now most of the people in the room had no idea who this Saffron person was or even if really existed so most had no idea how to react to this little statement. However some knew who he was talking about and decided to voice their opinions. "You Lie!" shouted Cologne pointing her walking stick in Ranma's direction. "It is impossible for one such as yourself to defeat the Pheonix God." "That's what I thought but I was able to do it." "I'll believe it when I see proof." "You don't need proof." Ryoga started. "Mousse, Shampoo Saotome-san, The Jusenkyo guide, his daughter and I saw him do it." "The Pheonix God is near invincible, I have confidence in Ranma but even I find it hard to believe that with his Martial Arts abilities he was able to defeat Saffron." retorted Cologne, unfazed by Ryogas statement. "Excuse me, but who is this Saffron guy you people are talking about?" asked a confused Ukyo as Kuno and the others nodded their heads at this. "Saffron is the Ruler and God of the bird people who live on Mount Phoenix. He is immortal and can never be killed. He looks a human but with wings and claws instead of hands. His attacks are fire based and very powerful. That's pretty much all I know." said Ranma with a shrug. "And Cologne was right, my Martial Arts abilities were not enough to beat him. Near the end of the battle my Ki was totally drained, I could hardly walk, let alone fight. Evidently something awoke inside me and it fed me power. However it was like the Neko-ken and it filled me with feelings and urges that scared me. I somehow unlocked some sort of power in my body and it's combining with my Ki. I have become much more powerful and at present I am a danger to myself and those around me. My decision was to leave." At hearing this the girls instantly started crying since Ranma was not picking one of them. Soun and Genma immediately started whining about the schools not being joined and began to cry. Cologne was trying to figure out what Ranma could be talking about. Ki is what makes a persons energy. There was nothing else, she couldn't figure out what this power Ranma was talking about is. Akane and Kasumi looked on worried about Ranma and Akane didn't want to see Ranma leave. Nodoka picked up her katana and waved it at Ranma. "Running away from your problems is not very manly son." "I know that and I'm not going to run away. Since I've already missed so much I'm going to take the rest of the school year off and train so I don't become dangerous to others." "But you said you didn't know what the power was, so how are you supposed to learn to control it." Ranma was about to answer Cologne when there was a flash of light in the center of the dojo that revealed a small figure clutching a small hand mirror. "That's where I come in." said the diminuitive figure revealing himself to be Happousai. Genma and Soun immediately bowed down in front of the figure and started sucking up to him. "Hello master how are you today. Lovely weather isn't it." Happousai hit both Genma and Soun over there heads and walked over to Ranma. "What do you want you lech?" asked Ranma obviously angry at the small pervert. "I only want to help you in your time of need." "Happy do you know what the Son-in-law is talking about?" asked Cologne. "Of course I do, but I can't tell you family secret." "Hey lech what are you doin with the Nanban mirror, I thought that thing broke?" asked Ranma. "And what do you mean family. I ain't related to you, you old goat!" "Hey I'd never want to be related to a snot-nosed little punk like you either. Of course I'm not related to you but I have to help you." he said as he crossed his small arms across his chest. "Why do you have to help me?" "You don't need to worry about that right now. I'll tell you later." he said as he rubbed an onion into his eye and started crying. He hopped onto Ranma's shoulder and turned to the group. "If you don't mind we'll be going now." he said as a tear hit the mirror and the pair vanished. The occupants of the Tendo Dojo were confused as to what just happened. To shocked to do or say anything the one who broke the ice was Kasumi. "Oh my I hope they have a nice trip." --------------------------------Meanwhille in Sengoku Jidai--------------------------- "For the last time I'll be back in two days don't worry. I'm just going home to visit my family and get ready to stay here for the rest of the summer." Kagome explained to fuming dog demon behind her. "That's what you say but whenever you go back there either something happens or you stay there longer. We can't waste time waiting for you while you visit your "family". Naraku is still out there and we should be looking for him." retorted Inu-Yasha angrily. "I'm not letting you go and that's final." he siad as he grabbed her arm. "SIT! SIT! SIT!" shouted Kagome as she rushed toward the well. "I'll be back before you know it." she shouted as she jumped into the well still able to hear him scream, "YOU BIIITCH!!!" ---------------------------------------PPresent------------------------------------- Kagome pulled herself out of the well and landed on the dry floor of the mini- shrine and started to think. 'If going away for two days makes him so angry how am I going to tell him about High School.' She continued to think for a while until she got an idea. "I got it! It's a long shot but it should work." she said as she ran toward her house to prepare. END Chapter 3 I know I know this took a long time but I was very busy. Again I'm sorry it's short but that's what happens when you're busy.
