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.  I have decided to change the view for
the Inu Yasha universe from this point on.  After doing some 
research on the characters I decided to put Rin, Sessho-maru and 
Sango into the story line.  I was going to put Sessho-maru in the
story anyway but the way I'm putting him into it now is better 
than before.  I hope you enjoy!

	Ranma was once again embarassed as "she" was once more
being scrutinized like a piece of meat.  She stood still as Baba
and, much to her annoyance, Happousai walked around her.  While
the old woman had a look of concern and concentration on her face,
the old man's eyes were filled with lust and Ranma kept her body 
tensed awaiting the perverts glomp.

	Baba stopped walking and stood in front of Ranma.  "I have
finished my evaluation."

	At this Ranma relaxed and let down her guard allowing 
Happousai an opening.  "So Have I! SWEETO!"  He yelled as he
glomped Ranma's bossom and was quickly knocked off as a fist and a
cane came towards his head.  "HENTAI!" being screamed was the last
thing he heard before falling unconscious.

Chapter 5: Ranma's New Look

	Happousai sat on a stool in Baba's cottage, once again 
smoking his pipe.  His look of serenity and calm was shattered by 
the two swelling lumps on his head.

	"Stupid Pervert can't keep your hands to yourself!" stated 
Ranma with a snort as she waited by the stove for the water she was 
heating to be ready.  

	"I can, see?" stated Happousai as he waved his two hands in 
the air and with his others took one last grope of Ranma.

	"I MEAN ALL YOUR HANDS!!" screamed the now male Ranma as the 
old flea demon pulled his extra arms back into his body.

	"It seems the magic of Jusenkyo has bonded with our masters
pearl." interrupted Baba, breaking the current tension between the 
two.

	 "What does that mean?" asked Ranma with a curious look on 
his face.  "Does that mean if you remove the pearl, the curse goes
with it?" he asked hopefully.

	Baba sighed.  "As I stated before, the pearl is PERMANENTLY
bonded to you.  If you remove it you die.  And now if you get rid of 
the curse you will die as well.  Hmph interesting turn of events if 
I do say so myself." she said to herself out loud.

	Ranma's reaction to Baba's revelation was to faint as the 
thought of a cure, of ANY cure just flew out the window.

	Happousai smiled as he looked down upon Ranma's prone form 
and thought to himself, 'Good now no one can take away my Ranma-chan!'
"Heh, heh, heh, heh!"  he continued to chuckle madly to himself until
Baba limped over to him and looked over at Ranma's body.

	"He seems to be unconscious." she turned towards Happousai.
"Now's a good a time as any to start Ranma-sama's training." she
nudged Happousai, "Get to it."

	"Alright, alright.  What got your blue knickers in a bunch 
you old tro..urk!"

	"Watch your mouth!"  reprimanded Baba as she pulled the 
gnarled staff out of the indent in Happousai's head. 'How did he
know they were blue' thought Baba as a look of revulsion appeared on
her face. 'That Pervert!'

	Before she could dish out any more of her feminine justice,
Happousai decided to hop off the stool he was currently occupying and
moved toward the unconscious form of his new master.  "Alright, here I 
go." His mouth seemed to extend from his face to form a cone with a 
point as sharp as a needle on the end.  'It's been a while since I've 
done this.' He thought as he plunged his 'stinger' into Ranma's neck 
and began sucking. 

	After a while he pulled out and looked toward Baba.  "You know
I'd rather do this with him as a girl." The only response from the old
woman was a staff implanted in the space between his eyes.  "Alright,
alright.  Can't blame a guy for trying."  Once again his mouth took 
on the shape of a cone and back into Ranma's neck.

	Baba turned away, disgusted by the, none-the-less, natural scene
that was going on behind her.  'What we are doing is necessary for him.'
she thought, 'His human life force is too strong, we must weaken it so
he can tap into his demonic abilities.'

	While Baba was justifying her decision, a certain flea demon was 
in heaven.  'It's been so long!' Happousai thought to himself as he fought
the urge to drain every last drop of blood from the boys body.  He kept 
his eyes open so he would know when he had removed enough of the boy's
human life force to trigger his power.  His body began to expand as he 
ingested Ranma's energy and soon he was round as a ball and could no 
longer cover his extra arms. 'Will I be able to take enough out of him.'
he thought in fear for his life.  His arms flailed around helplessly as 
his body kept inflating like a grotesque balloon.	

	Baba watched as Happousai came out of Ranma with an audible *POP*
and rolled around on the floor, moaning in pain while clutching his 
stomach.

	"Too...much...can't...drink...anymore..."

	'Amazing! Ranma-sama's human aura is extremely powerful, with the
power of the pearl he might be more powerful then the Great Demon Dog 
himself.'  "Happousai quickly, before the energy replenishes itself."

	With an audible groan and a flair of ki, Happousai burnt out 
most of the energy he took from Ranma.  Spent, he fell on top of Ranma
and continued to slowly siphon out Ranma's energy.  After a few more 
minutes Ranma began to glow with a dull white light.  Happousai once more
pulled out of Ranma, muttered "finally" and rolled out of the way.

	Baba watch as the color seemed to fade away from Ranma's hair and
watched it grow past his pigtail where it stopped right above his knees.
His ears blended with his hair and formed into two triangular dog ears at 
the top of his head.  His nails grew hard and long and his toes broke 
through his slippers also bearing nails.  His chest broadened, stretching 
his silk shirt to the limit as he body got larger.  Two blood red stripes 
appeared on both of his cheeks and another two formed a V on his forehead.
A tail as white as his hair ripped through the back of his slacks and wound 
over his shoulder.

	"Damn he looks just like him." Happousai stated absently as he 
rolled around on the floor.

	Baba just nodded as she looked over Ranma's new form.  "Now for a 
test." she said as she picked up a nearby bucket of  cold water and 
splashed Ranma.

	Happousai's eyes widened as he looked at the sight the test 
provided.  "DAAAAAMMNNN!!"

	"Oh my he won't like this at all."

	There lying in place of Ranma's demon form was a female version of 
the same form.  Instead of white hair her hair was a bright red.  Her 
features had hardened and she had gone from cute to drop dead gorgeous.

	"Ranma-sama's not going to like this at all."   

---------------------------Tendo Dojo Prresent-----------------------------

	Ranma's guests were still gasping in shock at the sudden 
disappearance of their host.  Shampoo, Ukyo and Kodachi were the first ones
to snap out of their stupor.

	"Aiya! Where ancient pervert man take Airen!"

	"Where did that jack-ass take my Ran-chan to?"

	"How dare that loathsome troll put his hands on my Ranma-sama."

	While the three girls were looking around the dojo for something to
glomp and something to stomp, Akane just stared at the spot where Ranma had 
last been standing.  'Ranma, you were going to leave.' she thought to herself
with tears forming in her eyes.  Before anyone could see her crying she ran
up to her room, locked the door, collasped on her bed and bawled her eyes 
out.

	Meanwhile Soun and Genma were both hugging and doing some crying of
their own.

	"WWAAAHH! The master will surely turn the boy to evil and then he 
will never marry Akane!"

	"WWAAAHH! My only son has been taken away from me! My meal ticket,
my retirement all gone!"

	Nodoka, Nabiki and Cologne were the only ones that were seemingly
unfazed by this turn of events.  Whenever something went awry in Ranma's 
life, one factor was always a constant.  All three women turned their heads
toward the still wailing Genma who quickly sobered up, splashed himself 
and pulled a sign out of nowhere that read.  "Don't mind me I'm just an 
innocent Panda."

	"GENMA!!"

	The only thing that saved Genma from the wrath of the angry 
females was the call of "Dinner's ready." coming from Kasumi who was now
standing at the entrance to the dojo.  Kasumi watched as everyone turned 
to her with a look of confusion as she asked.  'Oh my. Is something wrong!" 

------------------------Baba's Cottage PPresent------------------------------

	Baba looked down at her unconscious new master and splashed him 
once again with hot water.  She looked on in awe as Ranma, once again,
went from being a female dog demon to a male.

	"That's the fifth time you doused him woman.  Anymore and he'll 
catch a cold." Happousai stated from behind Baba.  He still a slight
balloonish look to him and was constantly flaring his ki in an effort to
burn off the excess energy he had recieved from Ranma.

	"Oh shut up!" snapped Baba, "I need to see exactly how his curse 
affects his demonic powers."

	"And have you figured out anything yet, oh great and all knowing
one?" asked Happousai with a smirk on his face while he did a mock bow.

	Baba snorted at the insult but answered him anyway.  "If my guess 
is correct and if Ranma-sama can fully control his demonic power his curse 
can be controlled just as his form can."

	"If Ranma can control his curse then that means..." his eyes get 
big and watery as an image of Ranma-chan superimposes itself on the 
background and gets stamped out by a big X. "No more Ranma-chan!!
WWAAAHHH!!"

	"Shut up you old fool!" she shouted as she once more whapped 
Happousai upside the head with her cane.  "And read this." she said as
she searched through her robe and threw a wound up scroll at his head.

	After bouncing off of his forehead he caught the scroll in his
hands.  "What's this?"  he asked as he flipped the scroll through his
hands.

	"It is the legend of the 'one.'"

	"The 'one'? What the hell is that?" Happousai asked as he started 
to unroll the scroll.

	"The master's mistress was fond of collecting scrolls of legends 
and prophecies.  This was one of the later ones, coming from the middle
of the warring states period."

	"Yeah and whats it about?" he asked as he studied the scroll.

	"Well read it stupid!"

	(A/N: I suck at writing poems of epics and legends so bear with me 
	 here okay ^.^; )

	"From out of nowhere comes the one
	 And with him come two warring sons
	 Both mother and father to a tribe of old
	 Who will not stop till the enemies cold."

	"One's enemy comes from Gods and fire
	 And against it, one will never tire
	 Though immortal may the evil be
	 One's strength shall overcometh thee."

	"The sons will come unto his aid
	 And for that they will be repaid
	 With weapons forged from fangs, they will prevail
	 And no longer fight with tooth and nail."

	"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" he asked and got yet 
another rap to the head.

	"Think about it stupid.  The Master had two sons who hated each 
other, our new master is both male and female and we know he has already
defeated Saffron in mortal form."

	"So you think the "one" is that snot-nosed little punk?"

	"Yes.  I first had my suspicions when I heard his name, Ranma.  It
was rumored that many thought it odd that the one was misnamed.  I also 
wondered about that until I met him and heard his name.  There was also this."
Baba limped over to a bare wall and blew against it.  From where she blew a
picture could be seen on the rotting wood that made the wall. The picture was
of a dog demon in human form battling a giant phoenix.  The demons hair was 
white and had a pig-tail that extended down to his ankles.  "Now do you 
believe me?"

	"Pure coincidence!" 

	"Oh come now!  Even you aren't this stupid.  Can't you see it?"

	"Oh come does 'that' look like a legendary demon to you?" he asked 
pointing over his shoulder toward Ranma.

	Baba looked over Happousai's shoulder and her eyes went wide. "Oh my!"

	Happousai saw the look on Baba's face and groaned.  "Great, what now.
has he grown wings?" he chuckled as he turned around, only to find the space 
where Ranma was laying deserted and a big hole in the wall of the cottage.
"Oh crap!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Ranma had awoken while Happousai and Baba were fighting.  The first
thing he noticed was that his sense of smell was greatly heightened.  He 
could smell the trees in the middle of the forest, the smell of his own blood
coming from Happousai's mouth and even as far as Kasumi and his mom's home
cooking.  He also smelt something that angered him to the point of a murderous 
rage, 'Saffron!'

	He could smell and feel the aura and lifeforce of the demi-god as if he
was standing right next to him.  What angered him was that the smell was coming
from the direction of the Tendo Dojo.  Not caring about the two bickering people 
in front of him, he broke through the wall as if it were rice paper.  He ran
toward the only place he ever considered his home and vowed to kill the person 
who dares to desecrate it.

	Focused on nothing more than the death of his hated enemy, he did not 
notice that leaps which usually take him 25 feet into the air were becoming 
mile long bounds.  The fact that he looked like a red and black rocket to all
those who saw him was lost on him as he landed at his destination.  He landed 
gracefully on the tree that looked into Akane's room.  He sat and waited for the 
opportunity to advance on his foe.

	Inside the room Akane was still crying her eyes out over the fact that 
Ranma had actually wanted to leave.  She knew it was because of what happened 
in China and she felt guilty about not being able to fight for herself.  She 
vowed that while Ranma was training she too would train as well in order to get
even better.  'That way when he comes back I can kick the crap out of him for
leaving.' she thought to herself a smile growing on her tear streaked face.  
'But first a bath.' she thought as she smelled herself and wrinkled her nose in
disgust.  Not knowing of the figure outside the window, Akane walked past it to 
open her dresser and pull out some clean clothes.  As she passed by the window
again she heard the sound of glass being broken and turned around only to be 
tackled to the floor.

END CHAPTER 5

Authors Notes: Wow yet another short chaptered is finished.  Sorry I didn't have
any Inu Yasha in this one but there will be more of them in the next chapter.  i 
know that it's kind of odd seeing as how its the end of the 5th chapter and none
of the crossover characters have yet to meet, but I'll get there.  BTW when you 
review tell me if you want me kill Akane or not if I get enough responses I just 
might :-).
