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 sat hunched in demon form in a tree outside of Akane Tendos bedroom window. Knowing that his hated enemy was in the room of someone he considered family made him angry. Ranma paused as he watched a silhouette pass by the window. Wanting to surprise his enemy he waited until the silhouette passed by again and leapt from the tree intent on ripping Saffron's throat out. Crashing through the window, he pounced upon his enemy as he snarled and clawed at the demi-god. Pleased when he felt his claws break flesh he smiled as he heard his victim scream. Chapter 6: Meet Inutaisho, Inu-Yasha's First Lesson Akane screamed as she was tackled to the floor by the dog- person that had jumped through her window. She screamed as she felt his claws ripping through her shirt and into her skin. Luckily his strikes were wild because upon jumping through the window he had gotten tangled in the curtains. She was unable to see the face of her attacker due to the curtain but she could still feel his claws rip into her. Using all the strength she could muster, she got her feet under his chest and flipped the creature over her body and right into her bookcase. Akane heard her father banging on her bedroom door trying to break it down. She tried to reach the door and shout to her father but she was silenced as her assailant, no longer down for the count, leapt onto her back and pushed her to the floor. She felt something hit her in the back of the head as everything slowly faded into darkness. -----------------------------Ranma's POVV--------------------------- Ranma was angry. He could not see Saffron's face due to the frilly curtains that Akane decorated her windows with. And the damn demi-god had gotten a lucky hit in, knocking him into Akane's book- case. He heard Soun Tendo's voice coming from the other side of the door and, in fear that the creature would attack him, shook off his stupor as he leapt at the silhouette and knocked it out with a blow to the neck. Since his vision was obstructed he could not tell if it had broken Saffrons neck or not, but for now it would do. He looked toward the door as it opened and watched the silhouettes of what could only be Soun and Genma enter the room. ---------------------------Dining Room------------------------------- Soun was sitting down with the rest of the family and their guests and eating the dinner that Kasumi and Nodoka had made in honor of the returning martial artists. Soun was crying, like he normally is, but for a good reason. He had considered Ranma as a member of the family and felt sorry for the lad under Happousai's care. He then heard a scream coming from upstairs. Recognizing the sound of Akane's voice he rushed upstairs to his baby girl. Genma was sitting quietly, eating his dinner slowly for once. He was also sweating as three women continuosly glared at him during the meal. Usually something like that would have no effect on his stomach, but the fact that Nodoka was using her katana as a knife was disconcerting to him. When he heard Akane scream he shot up from his seat like a rocket. He followed Soun up the stairs in fear of losing the last heir to the Anything Goes school and to escape the glares of Nabiki, Nodoka and Cologne. Ryoga, also hearing Akane's scream, ran to help her and somehow found himself outside the gates of the Tendo household. He kept running until he found himself in the middle of forest. Not stopping to wonder when the Tendo's had put a forest in the 2nd floor, he continued running, trying to find Akane. Cologne had felt a strange demonic aura coming from upstairs and followed after the two idiots in their charge. Behind her Shampo, Ukyo, Mousse, Nabiki, Kasumi and Nodoka followed wondering what was going on. When they got to the top of the stairs they saw something that was a familiar sight, but yet strange in this situation. -----------------------------Akane's Beddroom---------------------------- Soun and Genma had lunged at the dog-person together and were able to knock him down due to the fact that he was still tangled in the curtain. Unfortunately this seemed to be a bad idea as Souns knife chop connected with the back of the creatures neck and something Genma never wanted to see again appeared before him. Ranma was surprised as the two old men attacked him instead of helping him subdue Saffron. One of the men landed a lucky blow at the back of his head. It was not strong enough to knock him out, but somehow he felt the darkness consume him and could do nothing about it. Soun watched as the creature crumbled under the force his chop. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, an aura of absolute darkness seemed to expand from the creature. It's eyes turned toward the two men and Soun watched as it's eyes turned a bright golden color as they fell upon Genma. A twisted smile came to the creatures face as it watched the fat man drop to his knees and bow to him. Genma remembered the last time he had felt this aura and started to fear for his life. Ten years ago the Great Demon Dog had told Genma of his purpose in Ranma's life and, knowing that it was over, knew that the Demon would slay him on the spot. In order to keep this from happening he fell back on old habits that always got him out of jams. Namely bowing and scraping. "Hello again, oh wise and powerful one. How may this lowly one serve you?" Nodoka unsheathed her katana as she watched her husband dishonor the Saotome name as he bowed to the creature that had just attacked Akane. She began to step forward until she got a good look at just what her husband was bowing and scraping to. Her sword fell from her grip and she backpedaled as she felt the demonic energy surrounding the creature roll over her like water. Cologne could feel the evil nature of the creature and, using Genma's bowing and scraping as a distraction, attacked it. Her cane, infused with as much ki as she could muster, flew toward the demon's head and promptly shattered when it connected. Surprised that her weapon could be destroyed, and wincing in pain from the ki powered splinters imbedded in her arm, she fell back in shock in front of the other girls. "Was that supposed to hurt human?" the demon sneered at her as it stepped forward, it's eyes still glowing. "Get back demon! I will not let you hurt these girls!" she shouted as she gathered all her pride and glared at the demon. "I will not let you defile these girls." At this statement the demon's face furrowed in puzzlement as his eyes stopped glowing. "Defile?" He asked the confusion on his face quickly turning to anger. "I don't want to defile anyone! Hell I came here to help!" and with that he folded his arms across his chest and 'humphed' in anger. Cologne, confused by the demon's reaction, just stood there stunned by the amount of power the creature calmly gave off. "You're not going to defile them?" "Of course not! I mean sure I've killed a couple of hundred mortals in my lifetime but they all deserved it. Why is it whenever people find out you're a demon they think you're evil and perverted." He then put his hand under his chin and muttered to himself, "however there is the new retainer..." While the demon was talking to itself, Shampoo made an important discovery. "Scary Dog man look just like Airen." The demon smiled at her and gave her a mock bow. "You are a very observant girl. I commend you on the connection." He said with a smirk. He turned away from the girls to face Soun, Nodoka and the cowering form of Genma. Soun dropped to his knees wailing about the injustice of it all while Nodoka just stared on in shock. The demon locked eyes with Genma, who quickly looked away, crossed his arms across his chest and addressesd him. "You have done an adequate job in preparing the boy, I commend you." "Thank you for your praise, oh Great Demon Dog!" Genma responded from his crouching position on the floor. "Genma you sold your son to a demon?" Cologne yelled. "I knew you were stupid but this is dumber than usual." The demon sighed once more as he turned toward the old woman. "Why do you still think I'm an evil person. Hell my last wife was human! You mortals and you're stupid lack of trust. Without me the boy would've died." "Why is that?" asked Nabiki, looking past the demon to see Genma's face turn pale. "He did not survive the Cat-Fist training. Genma came to my servant for help and help she gave. Ranma became stronger and faster than any other human with no horrible side-effects." "Then why are you possessing him?" Cologne asked with an eyebrow raised. "I am not 'possessing' him at all." he replied arrogantly. "My power was willingly installed into Ranma's body. I am merely the spirit of Inutaisho the Great Demon Dog of the West which inhabits the pearl that I made which is currently inside the boy. All the power and energy you feel bleeding off of me is Ranma's. Since I do not have control of Ranma's lifeforce, I cannot contain it. I took control of this body 10 years ago for a brief period of time in which I met Genma and Ranma. I have stayed within the recesses of his unconscious to watch him and make sure that my power was not wasted. Again it was my presence that kept the effects of the Cat-Fist training so mild. I was able to fight the fear down, mainly because I'm a dog, and keep him from going totally insane. If not for me a lot of things would have gone wrong in his psyche." "So its because of your efforts that my son is alive?" Nodoka asked after listening to him. The demon nodded and she bowed to him. "Then I must say thank you for helping him, but can you bring him back now?" "I want to bring back your son, but first I must test him." he said while shaking his head. "The test is hard but I have faith in the boy and his abilities." "What I don't get is why you attacked my baby girl." Soun said through teary eyes as he supported Akanes head on his lap. "I did not attack your little girl. Ranma did." he answered calmly. "How can that be? Ranma would never attack Akane, or any girl for that matter." Genma asked then quickly realized what he did and went back to bowing and scraping. "Lazy Panda man speak truth, Airen would never attack Violent Pervert girl." Shampoo said with sadness underlying her voice as Ukyo nodded sadly behind her. "Ran-chan holds his honor very highly. He wouldn't do something like that." "That's easily explained. The girl has the stench of a phoenix on her. A snotty demi-god if I remember correctly." "Are you telling us the girl smells like Saffron?" asked Cologne, a look of doubt crossing her face. The demon shook his head. "Not only smells like, feels like. Ranma did something very odd to the girl. It seems he mixed some of Saffrons ki with hers in order to keep her alive. Which is why her aura feels like Saffrons. When her natural ki is reproducing itself it expels the foreign ki from the body. Since this goes on all the time her body smells like Saffron." "Is that dangerous?" Soun asked. "No. She should be able to burn out all of his ki since her's is the dominant one that is constantly being produced within the body. The ki will trigger her emotions to overreact for a couple of days but that's not so bad. According to my observations, with Ranma gone she won't be too destructive." "Does that mean you're taking my son away? Why?" Nodoka asked . "I'm sure you can all feel his aura, right?" he asked as the people in the hallway all nodded their heads. "What do you feel?" "Darkness." answered Cologne. "Death." Genma said than quickly went back to cowering. "Evil and Hatred." said Nabiki. "That's right. If I leave after giving the test and Ranma still doesn't have control of all these emotions and feelings he will become extremely dangerous. To himself and to others. His retainer will teach him what to do when I am gone and when he is finished, Ranma will return." "And who is Ran-chan's retainer?" asked Ukyo with a frown. With Ranma's luck it was probably another drop dead gorgeous woman. "Why, that would be me dearie!" said a panting voice from the staircase. Ukyo, Nabiki and Shampoo had looks of disgust come across their faces as they felt something grab there 'private' areas. Happousai jumped out from between the three girls before they could attack him and landed in front of the demon while bending on one knee. "Oh great Inutaisho-sama, this lowly one is ready to serve you." The three girls glared at the diminuitive that had recently used them as human batteries. Since they didn't want to anger the demon they refrained from bashing Happousai into perverted little bits. However if looks could kill, he'd be long gone. "You mean to tell me that this jackass is Ran-chan's retainer?" "No is true. Ugly pervert man no can teach Airen. He only teach how to steal underwear! And Airen know all he have to do is ask." Upon hearing this a hurt expression found it's way onto Happousai's face. "I do too have things I can teach him." he said with a sniffle. He then puffed out his chest and took on a look of macho bravado. "I too am a very powerful demon." Both Inutasiho and Cologne rolled their eyes at this proclamation "What do you know about being a demon? You're just a nasty old pervert." "You'd be surprised!" he sneered as his extra arms popped out of his body. Cologne gasped in shock, but then narrowed her eyes at the short man. "I would run Happi." "What? Why?" he asked as the reason why took the form of three different battle auras flamed into existence behind Cologne. Ukyo, Shampoo and, surprisingly, Nabiki glared at the old man. "YOU PERVERT!!" Happousai, confused as to why he's being targeted, looked down into his hands and his eyes bugged out in happiness. In his hands were two bras, 3 panties and chest bindings. "SWEETO!!" Unfortunately, his feeling of happiness was short lived as he felt a spatula, bonbori and shoe connect with his head simultaneously, thus knocking him out. The three girls took back their unmentionables from the old mans unconscious form and, after smashing him again for good measure, moved back behind Cologne. The demon watched on in amusement as he watched his new servant being punished. He turned toward the girls who now stood behind Cologne and addressed them. "Alright I admit, some demons are evil and perverse, but I'm not." Cologne raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner but said nothing. "I must admit that he's a little...rough around the edges, but he'll get the job done." said a voice from behind Cologne. Cologne jumped in surprise as she had not felt the person sneak up behind her. The person in question was a short woman who looked more aged than Cologne herself and leaned heavily on a gnarled wooden cane. She watched as the woman limped toward Happousai's prone form, tsked, walked over him and kneeled before the demon. "It is a pleasure to serve you again Inutaisho-sama." His only form of recognition of the woman was a slight nod. "I must apologize for, this. He got ahead of me before I could stop him. "No matter Baba. I am about to give the test. And I need you here to help Ranma if, when I'm finished he, (nudges Happousai with his foot) is not yet awake." "Yes master." "Oh, and when Ranma wakes up, give him these." The demon held out his hand, palm up, and Baba watched as the hand ignited with black fire. Two scrolls appeared from out of the fire and he handed them to her. "It shall be done master." With a slight shudder, he turned to face the residents of the dojo who, at the time, were either angry or shocked. "I will need a place to meditate in order to conduct the test, may I use your dojo?" Soun nodded as he continued supporting Akane's head on his lap while Kasumi was bandaging up the deep scratches Ranma's claws had left in her back and side. "Will my baby girl be alright?" "She will be fine, she just needs rest." "What about my son? What will happen if he fails or passes your test?" Nodoka asked filled with worry for her only son. "If he fails the test he will either, never wake up, or wake up and go into a murderous rage. If he passes and wakes up calmly, he will train in his new powers with his retainer until the next school year. Which was what he wanted to do in the first place." "Where will they go? With the way Ranma looks now, it's going to be hard to keep a low profile." asked Nabiki thinking of getting one last photo session of Ranma's new look before he left. Inutaisho picked up the unconscious form of Happousai and rooted through his clothes. His hand closed around a handle and he pulled out a mirror. "We use this." Cologne gasped at what the demon had in his hands. "My tribes Nanban mirror! Give that to me at once! It belongs to the Joketsuzoku Amazons!" she said as she grabbed at the mirror. Inutaisho held it just out of her reach and sneered at the old womans feeble attempts. "This belonged to me before it was yours!" "Liar! That mirror has been passed down from the Matriarchs for the past 3,000 years!" "That's a lie it was stolen from my collection over 600 years ago by a group of wandering gypsies. And I know that because I made it myself!" He growled back in anger. "If you made it, why is there no demonic signature on it?" challenged Cologne. He britled at the question. 'How dare this fossil questin my word!' Inutaisho's eyes once again began to glow a bright golden color as he grew more and more angry. Cologne knew at that moment that she had overstepped her bounds on that one. On the outside, Cologne was matching the demon, glare for glare. However on the inside she was pissing her robes. Baba decided to interrupt her master's staring contest and cleared her throat. "Master, the test." Inutaisho broke out of the staring contest and nodded to Baba. He walked halfway down the stairs and then looked back. The Amazon was still glaring at the spot that he was once occupying. Baba walked up to her and tapped the elder on the forehead. Cologne, stiff as a board, fell over unconscious with her eyes still open. "Aiya! Great-Grandmother faint!" The demon just smiled to himself as he descended the stairs. 'Heh I still got it!' ---------------------------------Sengokuu Jidai----------------------------------- Inu Yasha sat with a large sweatdrop on his head as he listened to Kagome try to teach him something she called math. Every so often he would glare at Miroku and Sango who were laying on the floor, out of sight of Kagome but not him, laughing their asses off. Kagome was in front of him doing an extremely stupid dance while singing about looking left and right before you cross the street and about people having affairs. She said that this was supposed to teach him about numbers but he wasn't getting it. What aggravated him further was the fact that Shippo had caught on to what she was doing and was dancing alongside her. After the sixth time of hearing it he couldn't take it anymore. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!" he shouted in frustration. "Is this the crap you learn at this 'high school' of yours? Cuz if it is than this is a waste of shard collecting time!" Shippo "hmphed" and crossed his arms. "You're just jealous that I got it and you didn't." Inu Yasha bristled at the insult and lunged at Shippo and started bashing him on the head. "Me jealous of you! Dream on brat!" "Inu Yasha!" "What Wench!" "SIT!" *BAM* "DAMN YOU WENCH!" "Now we have to start all over again." "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
