Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction ❯ Destiny of the Magi ❯ Ranma�s talents... ( Chapter 5 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Ranma smiled politely which faded quickly as the customer walked out of the store.

"Stupid Kikori, stupid taser sticks, stupid... everything!" Ranma muttered as he walked towards the back of the store, "Why does she HAVE to test them on me! Why not Ryoga!"

Ranma rubbed his arm where the sticks shocked him, "If this keeps up, I won't be able to even stand up when me and Ryoga have that duel."

"What was that Ranma?" Ranma jumped to see Nabiki watching him putting things on the shelves.

"Nothin'"

"What was that about a duel I heard?"

"Oh that," Ranma shrugged, "me and Ryoga are kinda like rivals, so whenever we see each other, we have duels to see who has improved more since the last time we saw."

"So, when is this duel?" Nabiki's mind whirled at the millions of money-making schemes that pop up in her head.

"Tomorrow afternoon at 1 or something" Ranma grunted as he lifted another box from the storage into the main store.

"Wow, what do you have there?" Nabiki asked changing the subject to avoid being suspicious.

"Oh just some new stock we have," Ranma grinned, "The AMAZING wand of random surprises!"

Nabiki gave Ranma a `what do you take me for' look, "Right."

"Really! I'm serious!" Ranma defended, "Watch!"

Ranma takes out a wand and waves it in the air, "Just wait for a second or two."

POOF!

A cloud of sparkles obscured the view but Nabiki saw a very small shadow behind the cloud.

"What the..." The Tendo peered into the cloud concentrating more on the shadow to see...

...A flying pixie doll

"See!" Ranma said proudly.

"That doesn't prove anything you know." Nabiki said, "It just proves that it can make flying pixie dolls."

Ranma smirked, "Well, if you REALLY want to find out if it makes random stuff, you'll have to buy one."

Nabiki thought for a moment, "What are the chances that it make a brand new lab top computer?"

Ranma raised an eyebrow, "You'll have to ask Kikori for the chances, I just like the thing."

Ranma grabbed the pixie doll from the air, "Well, another magic doll to add to Kikori's collection."

Nabiki stared at Ranma, "Her collection or yours?"

Act 1: Chapter 5

Ranma's talents...

A figure stood at the docks of Japan. The night sky filled with stars seems to welcome the figure.

"Hmph, don't so impressive as everyone make it out to be."

Another figure, shorter than the first came up from behind, "Ah, you haven't seen everything yet. You must know, they Kyoto mage tower is notorious in training top class mages you know."

"I'll believe it when I see them." The first figure scoffed.

"Such arrogance in her..." The second figure sighed sadly and followed the first.

*************************************************************** ********

<A strong magic AND ki aura.> Ranma's eyes widen as he felt the aura seemingly disrupting the very fabric of reality.

"Did you feel that Ranma?" Kikori asked with concern from the Kitchen.

"Yeah, and it's coming this way too." Ryoga cut in.

"Well, ya know what they say." Ranma said with a grin, "Dun worry `bout it now, what comes, comes."

"Feh, I doubt even all three of us put together can stop THIS person if he decides to kill us." Ryoga said.

"Strength in numbers." Ranma replied simply.

"Well, I for one don't want to think about that right now." Kikori said bringing out the rest of the dinner to the table.

"I doubt he would come `n attack us for no reason." Ranma reasoned, "But I'd like to fight`im just for the heck of it."

Kikori rolled her eyes, "You are suicidal."

"That's what he told me when we first met." Ryoga said with a chuckle.

Ranma smirked, "Hey, what's the point in life if ya dun risk it once in a while."

"Yep, he's crazy." Kikori hide her smile, "Now, don't just sit around! I worked for at least an hour to make this dinner! Don't waste it!"

"Do you REALLY have to tell us that." Ranma replied with a grin.

"Yeah Kikori, you KNOW we always finish your dinners." Ryoga said in between bites.

*************************************************************** ********

"I heard Ranma is going to fight another person." Nabiki said at the breakfast table.

"Really?" Akane inquired.

"Yep," Nabiki said after swallowing another bite of rice, "You know the cashier that is working in their store?"

"You mean the one with the bandanna?"

Nabiki nodded, "Seems like that boy, Ryoga, is going to fight Ranma at 1 O'clock today."

Akane nodded, "Where?"

"You want to see them fight?"

Akane nodded once again.

"I too want to watch Ranma in a fight." Soun cut in.

"Well the two are going to duke it out at the field near the ditch." Nabiki said, "Don't be late, they might start early from what I heard."

*************************************************************** ********

Kikori let out a giggle as Ryoga made a wrong turn again. "You know, it's a wonder they mage tower actually let you graduate even with your sense of direction."

"It's not my fault you know." Ryoga blushed, "Plus, they said that I'm one of those once in a life time mage that can do lots of stuff with my abilities, and quite frankly, I think some of my instructors are scared of what I can do."

Kikori smiled, "I know, and if the fight is yours, please go easy on Ranma."

"HA! If I went easy on him, he'd come right back up." Ryoga grinned, "I'm sorry Kikori, but the only way to win is to go full out from start till end."

Kikori sighed, "I just don't want to send either of you to the hospital after this, you KNOW I can't heal every wound on you two after one of your duels."

"Don't worry about us, we'll heal." Ryoga replied, "Plus, Ranma would kill me if I went easy on him."

"That's true." Kikori sighed sadly.

*************************************************************** ********

Ranma stood in the field that himself and Ryoga is going to be dueling in, <Enough space me to run around and won't tire me out that quickly even if I need to run the whole field, this field is perfect!>

"HEY RANMA!"

Ranma looked up to see the Tendos walking towards him.

"Hey guys."

"You don't mind if some people came to watch right?" Nabiki asked.

"Not at all, as long as they don't step into the area we're dueling in." Ranma said with a shrug.

"And the area is?"

"Oh, Kikori is going to set up the field so don't worry about it." Ranma replied.

"Great!" Nabiki grinned, "HEY GUYS! COME OVER HERE! RANMA IS GOING TO FIGHT SOMEONE!"

In a split second, all the people who heard came over, most of them students of Furinkin, few from some other school that heard of Ranma though their friends IN furinkin and the rest that we're just walking by.

Ranma blinked, "Well this is the first fight me and Ryoga had with so much watchers."

"Ah just ignore us." Nabiki said, "We're just going to enjoy the show."

Ranma snickered, "Oh, your going to get a show alright."

"Hey Ranma, whats with all the people?"

"Finally got here huh Ryoga?" Ranma grinned widen as he saw his rival arrive.

"Yep, Kikori brought me here." Ryoga pointed towards the priestess.

"Well Kikori, if you will can you set up the field for us?" Ranma asked.

"You DO know that if I do..." Kikori warned.

"Ah the mage tower is used to it by now, PLUS we're in Nerima, they have daily fights for Christ sake."

"Fine fine fine." Kikori rolled her eyes and pulled out her pendent.

"Oh goddess of healing, create the wall of magic null, protect all those that are innocent from harm!" The pendent flashed bright blue and shot out a beam of blue light that trailed the edge of the field leaving a bluish green line on the ground. After the beam of light retracted to the pendent, the line glowed once and a blue wall stood in place where the lines were once.

The crowd gasped as Kikori casted her spell and wondered what it was.

"Oh Ranma, can you guys start a bit later, like in 4 or 5 minutes?" Nabiki said, "I want to do something first."

Ranma looked a Ryoga who shrugged, "Sure."

*************************************************************** ********

Nabiki was in heaven, "Ok, quadruple pay for the new comer and double for Ranma, odds may change once the fight starts!"

People rushed to place their bets on the fight.

"Hey Nabiki, who do you think will win?" Akane said after everyone finished placing their bets.

"I don't know actually, Ryoga might have a chance, but odds are, Ranma will win."

"Why?" Akane looked puzzled.

"Ranma is a Spirit mage. Spirit mages, is like our family art, anything goes. They capitalize on versatility and most of the time they have the advantage, BUT they have lots of weaknesses too."

"Like what?" Akane asked.

"Shh! The fight is starting." Nabiki said and turned her attention to the field.

*************************************************************** ********

"Standard mage tower rules. No killing, No maiming, other than that anything is good! Because of the barrier, standard barrier rules apply, in other words, you may cast any type of spells from area effective to point specific but you may not use geographic hold spells*. Everyone understand?" Kikori said with a serious expression on her face.

The two combatants nodded.

Kikori took at step back out of the dueling area and held her hand up high, "Fighters ready!"

The crowd held their breath as they watched from a save distance.

"FIGHT!"

"RELEASE!"

A green ball flew from Ranma's hand towards his opponent...

(Note: Geographic hold spells, or GHS are spells that effect the surrounding environment. Things like the air density spell, the one Ranma casted last chapter, are considered GHS. Also, most spells that control the weather are also considered GHS. For example, if the Hiryu Shouten Ha was a spell, then that would be considered a GHS. Also because of this rule, most of Ranma's most powerful spells are ruled out because most of his powerful spells are GHS.)

*************************************************************** ********

"Fighters ready!"

<Better start the fight off quickly and try to finish it quickly too, don't want Ryoga to cast his stuff.>

"I call forth the wind, come..."

Ranma hid his hand behind him as he charged up the spell.

"FIGHT!"

"RELEASE!" Ranma shot his spell forward and immediately charged towards Ryoga uttering another spell.

"Wind, you are the weapon of DEATH!" The pig tailed mage made two chopping motions, one upward one sideways and continued to circle the area where Ryoga is.

"I call upon the weapon of nature!" Ranma gritted his teeth as he throws a strong blast of wind towards the area he's been shooting at.

"That's should get him off balance." Ranma smirked as he rushed into the cloud of dust preparing to face off with his opponent.

*************************************************************** ********

"That was brutal." Akane said as she watched Ranma throw spells at Ryoga.

"Sis, you're the new queen of understatements." Nabiki said shaking her head, "can't believe it's over."

"It's not over yet," Soun said from behind the two, "See, Ranma just rushed towards Ryoga."

"But Ryoga took at least 3 POWERFUL blasts from Ranma, no one can stand up to that!" Akane reasoned.

Nabiki shook her head, "Just watch the fight ok sis?"

"If you say so." Akane frowned. <No way anyone can stand after that! Even I can't stand up to that.>

*************************************************************** ********

Ranma threw a flying kick towards where he sensed Ryoga but found himself flying through the air from a throw made by Ryoga.

"You should've keep throwing spells and doing rounds on me." Ryoga grinned, "You just gave your position away."

"OH yeah! EAT THIS! RELEASE!" Ranma threw another ball of wind magic towards Ryoga who swatted it away.

"Feh, you KNOW that spell doesn't do anything except annoy me." Ryoga smirked and charged Ranma.

<Damn> Ranma got himself in a defensive stance immediately and defended himself from Ryoga's relentless assaults of punches and kicks.

Ranma blocked another punch and countered with a roundhouse kick to the head, which was blocked effortlessly.

"Heh, you haven't been practicing a lot have you Ranma." Ryoga said as he slammed a punch at Ranma's Stomach.

"That's what you THINK!" Ranma elbowed Ryoga on his chin. "WIND, you are the WEAPON OF DEATH!"

The green blade glided towards Ryoga scoring another hit on him.

Ranma stood as he waited for Ryoga to stand back up. "Don't tell me your down already, we haven't even started."

"In your dreams Ranma." Ryoga replied standing himself up, "Time to bring this show up a notch don't you think so?"

Ranma grinned, "Yeah yeah."

"Wind, give me thy blessings..." Ranma's Aura grew a light blue. Wind swirled lifting his bangs and his pigtail. (Think DBZ style ^^)

"Feh, that spell again?" Ryoga shook his head, "The stupid speed spell won't do you any good this time."

"CHILD OF EARTH! I CALL UPON THEE!" Ryoga pointed his palm in front of him. A yellow spell circle flashed once and the ground began to shake.

*************************************************************** ********

"WHAT THE HELL!" Nabiki swore as the ground shakes.

Akane was paying too much attention to what Ranma and Ryoga are doing to notice to the ground shaking.

"Oh my god! NABIKI LOOK!"

Nabiki blinked. <The ground is cracking open. What is go- A hand?>

Just as Nabiki thought, hand appeared from the crack of the ground. The owner of the hand pulled himself up from the ground revealing a rock golem twice Ryoga's size and probably five times stronger too!

Nabiki winced and pulled out a mega-phone from out of no where. "OK CHANGE OF ODDS! RANMA PAYOUTS ARE TRIPLE AND THE NEW COMER'S PAYOUT IS DOUBLED! BETS MADE NOW WILL BE ACCEPTED BY HALF GAINS ONLY!"

Akane stared at her sister, "And they say I'm the only one that pulls stuff out of nowhere?"

*************************************************************** ********

Ranma chided himself inwardly, <Shouldn't have try to finish him off up close and personal.>

"You ready Ranma?" Ryoga said as he jumped onto his golem's shoulder.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Ranma gritted his teeth and got into a defensive stance.

"Well then let me start off then." Ryoga launched himself from the golem's shoulder towards this rival. "GOLEM ATTACK!"

Ranma jumped to the side and then jumped upwards to avoid the attack from the golem.

"I CALL UPON THE WEAPON OF NATURE!" Ranma shot his spell towards Ryoga launching himself higher up in the air.

Ryoga grunted as he was dragged along the ground by the spell Ranma thrown, "GOLEM, ARM SHOT!"

The golem shot his arm into the air towards Ranma, who skillfully twisted himself and avoiding the arm.

"Your golem's aim is getting rusty!" Ranma taunted as he charged Ryoga once again after he landed.

"I call upon the breath of a demon!" Out of Ranma's palm, thousands of spikes flew towards the golem stopping it in this path. At the same, with his other hand, "I call forth the sword of wind!" a green blade extended from his middle and index finger and attempted to slash Ryoga with it.

Ryoga blocked slash by grabbing Ranma's fore arm and countered with a hook punch in Ranma's guts, which flew back from where he started.

"A good move," Ryoga said, "but not good enough."

Ranma licked his dry lips as he say the golem collecting its senses and grouping back up with Ryoga.

<Damn, that was my perfect chance and I screwed it up.> Ranma staggered up and winced in pain, <Took too many hits too>

"Why don't you give up Ranma." Ryoga gloated with his golem beside him.

"Oh shut up why don't ya." Ranma growled, "It ain't over till Kikori admits she's a prissy girl!"

"HEY!" Kikori shouted from the side.

*************************************************************** ********

"That is SO unfair!" Akane said, "This is suppose to be a one on one duel! He can't call for help!"

Nabiki shook her head, "Ryoga is a caller Akane, he has the ability to tame and call the creatures from the ethereal realm to fight with him."

"But that's calling for help!" Akane said still confused.

"Not really since the golem can only do what Ryoga tells it to do. Plus the golem also sends everything it feels and sees to Ryoga so if Ryoga isn't concentrating enough, the golem will go back to the ethereal realm. This also gives the caller a headache too." Nabiki explained, "Besides, Kikori hasn't called a stop to the duel so it's a legal move."

"Well the golem fell apart, why didn't Ryoga even wince," Akane frowned.

"I'm think that Ryoga is a very experienced caller and he's very good at ignoring pain." Nabiki reasoned.

"How do you KNOW all this stuff." Akane asked in wonder.

"Research my dear sister, lots of research."

*************************************************************** ********

"Well as much as I like a good chat, I think it's time for me to finish this fight." Ryoga grinned, "Golem, scatter."

The golem breaks himself up and each part of the golem glows and forms a mini golem.

"New trick?" Ranma asked as he saw 4 mini golems in front of Ryoga.

"Yep, you like?"

"Not at the moment." Ranma joked.

"Well you can tell me all about it after I BEAT YOU!" Ryoga charged and the four golems followed.

Ranma jumped, "Wings of angels, carry me" A white light shone on to Ranma as an outline of wings appeared on Ranma's back.

"Even if you can fly, it won't help you!" Ryoga snarled, "golem bring him down please."

The 4 golems nodded and jumped towards the flying mage who barely manage to dodge them.

<Damn, these guys are fast!> Ranma thought as the golem almost grabbed his leg to pull him down, <If I don- oh shit>

Ranma's aura flickered signaling the end of the speed spell Ranma casted.

Ryoga smirked, "Getting slow are we Ranma."

Ranma was about to reply but was stopped by 2 of the golems, one on his back another on his leg. The 2 quickly dragged the pig-tailed boy down and piled up on him.

"Heh, sorry Ranma, but this one's mine!" Ryoga scored a vicious kick at Ranma, "Golem rejoin and finish the fight!"

*************************************************************** ********

"Well looks like Ranma lost." Nabiki said silently calculating her gains, "YES! I gain either way! Too bad Ranma didn't win, I'd would've gotten more."

Akane shook her head, "I can't believe it, Ranma is going to lose."

*************************************************************** ********

"AH SCREW IT!" Ranma screamed as he saw the golem rejoin and charging towards him, "PRINCESS OF ICE! GODDESS OF COLD! COMETH!"

Ranma mimicked Ryoga's gesture when he summoned the golem, but instead of a yellow spell circle, a blue one appeared.

"come on come on COME ON!" Ranma closed his eyes as the golem threw his punch...

...

"Ow, how come EVER time I get called I hit my head something somehow?"

Ranma opened his eyes and sighed in relief, "Sorry Artricia."

"GOD DAMNIT RANMA!" Ryoga clutched his arm in pain, "This is the third time you cut off Golem's arm! It hurts like hell!"

Ranma smirked and replied sarcastically, "Well SORRY."

Ryoga growled, "You are SO dead. GOLEM GO!"

"Healing winds, aid my wounds." A light breeze swirled about Ranma and his injuries slowly heal, "'Tricia, keep the golem busy."

"Gotcha."

*************************************************************** ********

"WHAT! TH-THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Nabiki yelled as Ranma summoned, "he's supposed to be a spirit mage, not a caller! What the hell!"

Kikori walked up beside Nabiki, "Well that's because Ranma is what the Mage tower calls a `talent'."

Nabiki looked at Kikori quizzically.

"Talents are mages that can be more than one class. So Ranma is a Spirit mage AND a caller, they're just really really rare."

"So let me get this straight," Nabiki said, "Ranma is able to do two types of magic but he's still mainly a spirit mage? Right?"

"Yep."

********************************************************** *************

Ranma grunted as Ryoga landed another blow.

"Getting worn down?" Ryoga taunted with a grin, but was immediately hit with a spell.

"Not really." Ranma replied. "I call upon the weapon of Nature!"

Ryoga dodged the blast and charged up to Ranma with a side kick followed by few quick jabs.

"Great more fun for us!"

Ranma side stepped the kick and blocked the jabs before countering with a palm strike pushing Ryoga back, "Wind, you are the weapon of DEATH!"

"Feh, you're slow as ever."

Ryoga jumped over the spell and feinted a punch, which is followed by a kick at the ribs.

"And you still fall for the same trick."

"RELEASE!" The ball of magic slammed into Ryoga, "less talk more fight."

"If that's what you WANT!" Ryoga charged Ranma surprising him with a tackle.

"Oof." Ranma flew back and landed on the ground to seen Artricia flicker in and out of existence.

"You're losing it Ranma." Ryoga taunted.

"Well try THIS! Wings of angels, carry her!" Ranma targeted Artricia with his flight spell.

"'TRICIA! ICE FIELD!" Ranma shouted.

Artricia jumped back and raised her arm above her head and brought it down in a sweeping motion. The ground surrounding her shimmered and turned into a sheet of ice.

"Wings of angels, carry me." Ranma casted again. Both Ranma and his summon hovered about the iced field and watched as the golem slipped again and again.

"How's your butt Ryo-chan." Ranma taunted in a girlie voice.

"Shut up!" Ryoga growled, "GOLEM CRUSH THE GROUND!"

"Damn." Ranma and Artricia said at once as the golem made the battlefield look more like a bomb site.

"Let's finish this." Ryoga said as he gathered his strength, this golem copied him.

"Lets. I call forth the wind, gather." Ranma began to charge up his magic while Artricia stood there, her aura burning with cold flames.

"RANMA!"

"RYOGA!"

"PREPARE TO BE BEATEN!"

The two charged each other, Ranma threw a punch at Ryoga's head, which is dodged and Ryoga returned the favor with a punch to the chest, but his punch was also dodged too.

The two traded punches and kicks until Ranma jumped into the air behind Ryoga and held an open palm towards Ryoga's head.

"Yield Ryoga, you lost."

"Why don't you yield." Ryoga replied.

Ranma frowned as he found Ryoga in position to knock the wind out of him and knocking him out. The both nodded in silent agreement and turned towards their summons and saw...

"STUPID GOLEM! LET GO!" Artricia screamed at the golem who is frozen to the ground and holding a thrashing Artricia at bay by pushing her away from him.

The two combatant sweatdropped.

"Tie?" Ranma asked.

"Tie." Ryoga replied.

"Tricia stop, oh, and unfreeze Ryoga's golem will ya."

"Golem, come back."

*************************************************************** ********

"That was anti-climatic." Nabiki said with a grin, "Well the best part about this is that no one betted on a tie."

Akane stood up and rushed towards the mages on the field.

"What's she up to now?"

*************************************************************** ********

"I declare this match a tie." Kikori said shaking her head, "I can't believe you two did THIS to the field."

The two smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of their necks in unison.

"HEY!"

Ranma looked up to see Akane running towards them.

"Who's the girl Ranma? New girlfriend?" Artricia asked causing Ranma to groan.

"No, she's Tendo Akane, the daughter of one of my father's friends." Ranma replied.

Akane stopped in front of the group and studied Artricia. Her skin is pale but it shimmers blue in the sunlight. Her hair is dark blue that goes right to her waist and is tied with a simple piece of red rope. Her pupil is like cats, silted, not round. She is also wearing a bikini top and a long skirt with a long slit on the side allowing lots of movement.

"Who's she?" Akane asked.

"Didn't you hear when I summon her?" Ranma smirked, "This is Artricia, Princess of ice, Goddess of cold."

"Hi," The summon smiled, "Call me Tricia."

*************************************************************** ********

A figure stood on the rooftops of Nerima and looked down at the battlefield, "Well, a talent all the way here, AND a pretty skillful caller too, not to mention a priestess. So it's started..."

"Hmph, they gave up so easily," the Second figure scoffed, "Well what can one expect from a male."

"Hush child, you don't know what your saying." The first figure warned, "One of the males you're talking about is a talent, and they are very dangerous."

"So? Both of his skills are weakling's art." The second sneered, "I can defeat the talent no problem."

"Xian pu, you have my permission to challenge him, but we will abide by the rules of this country, so no kiss of marriage."

"I will do our village proud Great-grandmother."

Ku lon shook her head and sighed as she watched her grand daughter prepare for her next challenge, "I hope this young talent can help me where the other mages can't."

The old women winced at the memory of the mage her grand-daughter has beaten previously.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

Whew! longest chapter yet! I'm proud of what I did this chapter, but then I also think that I dragged the battle for too long. What do you guys think? Anyway, those of you that think that I'm making Ranma into a unstoppable mage of ultimate destruction (hehe ultimate destruction), well your wrong, keep in mind, not only does the strength of both classes of mages merge, the weaknesses of both also merge, giving Ranma more weaknesses but more versatility.

For those of you who is curious about the summons, here is a quick fact about the ones summoned in this chapter.

Rock golem: One of the five golems available for summoning. It is very strong, very durable, can repair itself if the caller can stand the pain of the golem breaking into pieces, but also really dumb and slow. Golems are ideal for defensive purposes but can be effective in offense if you are very skilled in controlling the golem like Ryoga ^^.

Artricia: One of the 4 elemental spirit gods/goddess/demon/demoness. Very playful because of a certain event that happened during her millions and millions years of life. In legend, she is portrayed as a really calm and serious person, but due to an event, she has changed. This event is still unknown to the mages of the different mage towers but it is speculated to have something to do with Ranma.

This Chapter I also introduced Shampoo and Cologne~~!! You might think that I portrayed Shampoo all wrong (oh yeah, other than when Cologne is speaking with Shampoo, all other characters will use Shampoo and Cologne as their names,), well I have my reasons! Shampoo comes from an amazon tribe that views males as inferior but also knows of their usefulness. This makes Shampoo scoff all males that are warriors thinking that she is better than them hence her reaction to the duel. Also in the Manga, she DOES start out as a cold-ish person, I mean she hunts down Ranma and all that! So I think I portrayed Shampoo right to the T ^^. Just to tell you, I'm one of Shampoos fans.

As for Cologne, right now, she sees Ranma as a tool to help her teach Shampoo that she is NOT the best and there is always someone better. Of course, because Cologne doesn't know the full power of Ranma yet (because of the duel restrictions) she put a block on the kiss of marriage law because she thinks Ranma isn't all he seems to be...

Of course Ranma DOES have more spells than the ones he cast this chapter, and I'm going to have a list of them on the next chapter's note. Also note that some of Ranma's spells does not need him to say the words but it helps Ranma concentrate.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma and it's cast, Kikori is made up by me, so is the golem and Artricia. ^^ All the magic is also made up by me and if it is similar to spell from another show or anime, well it's just a coincidence and PLEASE dun sue me! I poor!! I'm PENNYLESS!!
