Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction ❯ Neko Worrior Ranma ❯ Chapter Four ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter Four: Round Two: Neko Vs Wolf.

In all his life he never ran, never showed fear until today. Ranma Soatome senses never lied to him and the great evil he felt came from no other then Ryu Kuno. Worst yet Ranma couldn't beat Ryu outside of his curse form, "Just what the hell is going on? I never lose. NEVER!" Ranma yelled jumping over a fence.

Looking around Ranma tried to fine some way to transform into his curse form. No luck. Then he remembered something on his way to school. The canal, but doing so means that Ranma has to double back. Decided to try something Ranma jumped to the near by roof.

Ducking low Ranma waited before he can run back.

Sure enough Ryu ran past Ranma not thinking of looking up. Ranma Jumped back down making sure Ryu was far enough away then ran back the way he came. Stopping at the yard were the fight took place Ranma looked for the cantina. Spotting it he ran to it and picked it up. It wasn't empty,

"Hopefully there's enough." Ranma said as he opened it. With a sigh Ranma replaced the cantina back on the ground and run for the canal.

Upon arrival at the canal Ranma jumped on the fence Ranma made a jump for the cold water only to be stopped by Ryuu grabbing a hold of his foot. "I don't think so Soatome." The were wolf curse boy said. Shocking Ranma in return.

"What you thought I couldn't talk? That I was mindless? This is a Curse Soatome, I'm not the real wolf." Ryu stated. With that said the wolf slammed Ranma hard into the ground.

"I know about your curse Soatome." Ryuu said as Ranma got up.

"Not many people do Kuno." Ranma said back getting into a stance and best his could.

Then Ryu ran at Ranma, but just as Ranma was about to jump out of the way Ryu back flips and kicks Ranma on the side of the face.

The result left three dingle cuts to Ranmas' face. This Left Ranma stunned, so he didn't feel the right side of his face get slashed by a clawed hand. It wasn't the punch or the slash marks, that left Ranma stunned. Something was awaking inside him. Ryu seeing that Ranma wasn't moving walked over to Ranma. "This fight is done Soatome. Kasumi is mine." Now it's a known fact that the Kuno's aren't the smartest people in Japan, so it was no surprise, when he picked Ranma up and throw him into the cold waiting water.

That woke Ranma from his shock, as new unknown power rushed throw his body and just as Ryu was leaving a sudden growl caught his attention. "You think this fight is over? RYU KUNO THINK AGAIN." Ranma Yelled as he jumped out of the canal. Ryu saw that none of the injuries was around. Ranma landed in a low stance. The white fur covering Ranma body stood almost on end.

Ranma's tail was moving back and forth in his anger, but Ryu wasn't looking at those.

No he was looking at the red glow of Ranma's eyes.

"So it's true, you did fall into the Neko Spring. Amazing." Ryu said. Ranma grinned. "Do you still plan to finish this fight Kuno?" Ranma growled.

"Oh yes, I want to know who's stronger, A Were Wolf, or a Neko Warrior." Ryu said as he ran at Ranma. Ranma in turn charged at Ryu.

Nabiki was mad not only did she lose the betting pool but the fighters left the school which made it extra hard to fine out if the fight was going or if it stopped. Not only that, but Ryoga and Xian Pu, disappeared around the sametime as Ranma ran.

Nibiki sighed then something caught her eye. There in the middle of the road. She saw something she never dreamed and on top of that some people from school were also watching.

For there they were, the two curse combatants running at each other.

'No way wolf I'm not going to let you win.' Ranma thought as he jumped in the air, after he landed behind Ryu he grabbed his tail and slammed him into a building.

Ryu howled in pain but that wouldn't be the only pain as Ranma laid about a hundred punches a second to Ryu chest. Jumping back Ranma avoided the sharp kick Ryuu throw.

"Damn You Soatome." Ryu Cursed.

Ranma wasn't even breathing hard. "Do you give up?" Ranma asked. "Yield, I don't wish to kill you." Ryu got up. "Like you could." Ryu said and ran at Ranma again this time sliding under Ranmas' legs and jumped up just in time to give Ranma an elbow to the back.

Ranma Growled as he backed handed Ryu's Snot.

Ryu jumped out of the way just in time to avoid a follow up punch. Ryu growled as Ranma calmly walked up to Ryuu. "This fight is over, Give up Kuno." Ranma said.

Suddenly both fighters were dumped with hot water. "Hey Ranma I find you." Ryoga yelled.

Now in human form Ranma glared at Ryuu. "Do you still want to fight?" Ranma asked.

"You win this day Soatome, but remember this, Kasumi is mine weather you like it or not." Ryuu said as he disappeared.

When he made sure Ryuu was gone Ranma fell to his knees. "Thanks Ryoga." He said before collapsing to the ground out cold. Three voices cried out to him. "RANMA!"

Shortly after she got home Kasumi had to do some shopping. She didn't have to help in the dojo with the day's classes since it was a little class. So running up to her home to change, something happen, the chain on her locket broke.

"No, is this a sign?" She asked out loud. "Ranma be careful."

Changing into a pair of slacks and a nice white blouse Kasumi made her way out of her door and down the stairs. After checking what she needed she made a list, left a note and went out the door.

During the Fight Akane went with Ryoga to help him get some hot water. "Ryoga, this why we can use the janitor shed to get some but how are we supposes to get it to him were we don't know were he is?" Akane said.

Ryoga looked thoughtful. "The canal we past by on our way here, he's more then likely to go there to change." Ryoga said. "We have to hurry though. I'll carry the bucket you lead the way." Akane nodded and ran out. Ryoga was right and there they were. Ryoga looked up and then jumped on the building were he can get both of them wet. Waiting for the right moment Ryoga splashed the both of them. "Hey Ranma I find you." Ryoga yelled.

Then he saw Ryu walk away making Ranma the winner. "Thanks Ryoga." Ranma said as he fell to the ground.

"Ranma!" Ryoga looked up at only did he see Xian Pu running with Nabiki but also with Cologne.

"Cologne? What are you doing here?" Ranma asked. The old woman looked at the young man.

"Son in law I told you I would be coming soon have you forgotten." The old Amazon said.

Ryoga got mad. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" He yelled. "I do remember you saying something about coming to Nerima, but I didn't know you were coming this soon."

Xian Pu looked at Ranma. "No talk now Ranma need help. Great grandmother can you help him?"

Xian Pu said.

"No child, Ranma doesn't need medical help at the moment." Cologne said. "He used to much of his strength. All he needs is rest." Ryoga looked at Xian Pu. "So that's were you went, to get your Great grandmother." Ryoga said. Xian Pu nodded. Ryoga picked Ranma up and headed for the Dojo or he would have if he wasn't going the wrong way.

"Ryoga, that way." Nabiki said. Ryoga just sweat dropped and laughs. "He he I knew that."

Ryoga said, going the right way for once.

Hours later.

Ranma laid on his futon. A cold cloth lay on his head as if he had a fever. Truth was he did but not because of any illness, no it was because he body was changing into something that was thought dead.

Next to him laid Kasumi, her face stained with dried tears, when she got home she found everyone there and waiting. Then came the news and Kasumi was at his side. She held his hand gently.

What scared her was that there was no sound of his breathing. So she would check on him to make sure that he was.

She would often touch the smooth black lines of what look like stripes. Nabiki said that before his collapsed that they were somewhat bleeding, after clearing off the blood Kasumi saw that they were indeed black lines. 'I wonder if they are markings.' She thought to herself.

Inside Ranma's head.

Darkness, nothing but darkness. Then a sudden growl. Ranma looked around. "Where am I?"

Ranma asked. "You are inside your head, Ranma Soatome." A voice said. Looking around, he saw only darkness. "Then who are you?" he asked.

"I am your Neko side... and this-" A small cat appeared, curled up, blinking at him "Is the Neko Ken." If Ranma wasn't part neko he would run but there was something about the small cat that reminded him of the training he went.

Then it hit him. The small kitten wasn't just a cat, it was apart of him. The neko ken that for so long made Ranma afraid. "Ranma, the spring of drown Neko is not for everyone as the guild thought." The voice said. "Those who have evil hearts will die. You are unique. You have a gift that has not been seen for sometime. This Ranma Soatome is my gift."

Outside Ranma mind.

Kasumi steep back as Ranma body started to glow white. An unknown wind starts lifting him up high off his futon sudden his hair comes undone and starts flying all over. Ranma features starts to change, growing a little in height, his fingers nails starts to grow long about inch, but what surprised Kasumi the most was the sudden appearance of cat like ears.

Then as fast as it starts it stops and Ranma is gentle laid back down on his futon.

Slowly Ranma started to open his eyes. "Hey, you were crying." Ranma said as he looked at a shocked Kasumi. Who in turn just nodded her head. Ranma smiled. "How long have I been out?"

The question woke Kasumi from her shock. "About three hours. Ryoga and Xian Pu are cooking dinner."

This seems to make Ranma smiled. Then he stood up and stenches out. "You look beautiful." Ranma stated. Kasumi blushed. "Oh stop, I must look awful." Kasumi said. "Ranma... On my way out to shop... The chain on my Locket broke." She said as she showed him the locket. Ranma looked at the broken jewelry.

"I'll get you a new one." Ranma said. "Do you still have the pictures?" Kasumi nodded. "But Ranma, mother gave me this locket."

Ranma touched her cheek. "Then I'll by you a new chain, how does that sound?" Kasumi smiled. "Thank you, Ranma that sounds great. Kasumi said with a blush. Her blush grew deeper as Ranma leaned in, inches away from her soft pink lips when- "Okay!!! Dinner's ready!!" Ryoga called out from downstairs

Both teens broke away from each other, knowing that the moment was ruined. Kasumi gently took his hand, helped him up and lead him downstairs for dinner.

Hearts on fire, the start of new love.
