Ranma, the Demon-Sorcerer
Chapter 3
{Chinese}
>Panda sign>

Ranma sat in class trying to avoid the stares that
he was getting. Showing up in curse form had some
drawbacks. He listened to the droning of the teacher,
and he thought back to Cologne and her teachings of Chi
magic. She had taught him some of the basics before he
and Shampoo had left. He had been practicing the lessons,
waiting to see if their would be more teachings.

Ranma turned to look at Akane. She was staring at him,
probably angry at him for coming here in his curse form.
He tried to think about what her problem. She seemed to
be upset at him for being cursed. Or maybe it was some other
deeper problem. He couldn't figure out which.

Just as Ranma thought that class couldn't get anymore boring
Kuno burst into the class room. "How dare you take shelter
under the same roof as the beautiful Akane Tendo? You shall
no be smirk the honour of Akane Tendo. But where are my manners?
Is it not appropriate for one to introduce oneself to one's
opponent? I am the undefeated Kendo champion of Furinkan high!
I am the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High! I am..."

"Mr. Kuno, shouldn't you be in class?" the teacher asked,
looking slightly depressed.

"I must avenge the honour of the lovely Akane Tendo. I must
smite the one known as Ranma Saotome for daring to spend
even one moment under the same roof as my fierce tigress."
Kuno said as he pointed the bouken that he had pulled out
to Ranma.

"I'll take this outside if you want, sir?" said Ranma as
he moved towards Kuno and the door. He used his power of
levitation to jump over Kuno and land on the other side
of the young man. "Let's take this outside." Ranma said,
running out into the hall and then jumping into a window.

Kuno jumped at Ranma, charging without thinking. That's when
Ranma used his Rabbit super-speed to get out of the way. Kuno
jumped out the window. Ranma looked down and was glad there
was a pool below them. That meant that he didn't have to use
his Rooster's power to keep Kuno from harm.

"How he do that?" Asked one of the watching the fight. It had
seemed that most of the class had left the classroom and had
been watching him fight Kuno using the power of his demon form.

"Just a gift." Ranma said sheepishly. He scratched the back
of his head trying to clam the class down. But they where still
staring at him. Ranma hope that he had started anything that could
cause him trouble.

Later that night...

Ranma's day was pretty much normal after that, save for a few
quick run-ins with Kuno. But even if he didn't have his powers,
it would have been a few pretty quick fights. After sparring
with Shampoo for a while his level of skills had gone up. It's
not that he wanted to fight a girl, but with a girl like Shampoo
you didn't get much choice. She had made it clear to him that she
wasn't a fragile doll in danger of breaking. Especially with her
demon form.

Except for lunch when Nabiki had asked about the powers she had
seem him use both at the Tendo home and at school during his fights
with Kuno. Akane had been close by when Nabiki had asked the question.
He promised to tell them all of it when they got home.

That was why he was sitting at the table with the Tendos, his father
and Shampoo. The latter two had heard the story before, but they wanted
to see the reaction of the Tendos.

"Well, most of the power I have comes from the twelve talismans
of Shendu" He said, ash he told them of the power of the talismans.

He told of the Rat and it's power to bring motion to the motionless.
The Ox's super strenght, The Tiger's power over Yin and Yang. The Hare
and it's super speed. The Dragon's power of combustion. The Snake's
secret of invisibility. The healing power of the Horse. The Sheep's
power of astral projection. The mischievous Monkey's shape shifting power.
The Rooster's levitation. The immortality of the Dog. And the heat eye
beams of the Pig. Twelve powers from the beasts of the zodiac.

"Wow," Nabiki said as she looked at Ranma. All of that power. "What
about Shampoo?" Nabiki asked as she looked at the young woman, who
was presently in demon form.

"Shampoo has power over Thunder and Lightning. Have power to summon
storm clouds, lightning bolts, and magnetism. Also have great strength
and power. Might even be immortal. Thunder demon live for very long time."
Shampoo said. She looked at Nabiki as she explained her powers to the
young girl.

"So basically you both cheat. You use your demon powers instead of
martial arts skills." Akane said sharply as she looked at the two
fighters. 'How else could you be better than me?' She thought to
herself.

"Shampoo and Ranma no need Demon powers for fighting. Have trained
using human form. Martial arts skills too, too important. Demon powers
don't make up for skills." Shampoo said, with a angry tone of voice.
"You want to try Shampoo? See if Shampoo cheats?" She asked.

"Shampoo don't. She hasn't had the training that we have. Besides, you
don't want to cause any challenge trouble." Ranma said trying to defuse
a situation that could cause him trouble in the future. "Anyways, Shampoo
is right. When we fight we try to do most of it with our human forms.
That way we're ready when we move into our demon form. We also have to
practice in demon form to learn how to handle that power."

"You got to admit that they were pretty good when they fought in
their human forms before. They looked like they know their stuff." Nabiki
said, as she looked at her sister. She guessed the reason for Akane's
displeasure. Akane would just have to get use to someone better than her.
She then thought back to the two demon cursed young people. "Are their any
other demon cursed people you know about?"

"Just Mousse. Boy Shampoo knows. Always cause trouble. He cursed by Moon
Demon pool. Has power over gravity." Shampoo told them, thinking of the
the young man. She still dreaded the idea of someone like Mousse being
given the power of a demon. Who knew what trouble it would cause them.

"That's all we know about. Their might have been others that we don't
know about. We can just hope that there isn't many of them wandering
out their." Ranma said, thinking of the danger that more cursed individuals
could cause. Ranma just hope that their wasn't any more trouble out there
waiting for Shampoo and him. It would be just their luck that some demon
cursed soul would somehow be looking for them for revenge.

Meanwhile...

A large Demon coloured yellow and black was heading closer and closer to
Nermia. He had one thing on his mind. Revenge. He didn't know what had
happened to him but it had to be Ranma's fault. So he moved closer and
closer, digging farther and farther. He would be ready to fight Ranma.

He had been practicing the powers of the new form that he had been
given. It was his hope that it would give him the edge over his enemy
that would enable him the power to beat Ranma in combat, once and for all.

Then maybe he would look for a cure for his condition. He wasn't sure what
he would do after he beat Ranma. He just knew that he wanted to know if he
could cure himself if he needed to. But first he had to get Ranma.

Meanwhile at Hikawa Shire...

The Sailor senshi had gather together in the shire to discuss the latest
vision that Rei had received.

"And that the last of it. I think that the two figures mean something
but I haven't seen thing clearly around them yet." Rei said as her friends
sat around focusing on what she was saying. Most of them anyway.

"Usagi would you pay attention." Rei said as their leader was more focused
on the food before them.

"I'm sorry. It's just that I'm so hungry." Usagi said as she moved closer
to the food.

Ami looked up from the Mercury computer trying to see if it had any record
of the creature that Rei had seen in her vision. "I can't seem to find any
mention of the figure that you seen in the Mercury computer's database."

"You should." A mysterious, yet familiar voice said as the outers had arrive
on the scene. Setsuna stood in the doorway with Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru
following behind her. The four outer senshi took seats with the other senshi.

"You know about this figure?" Minako asked as she and the rest of her
friends got ready for the information that elder senshi was telling them.

"Yes. But it shouldn't be him. He's imprisoned last time at looked." Setsuna
said as she thought about the figure in question.

"I thought we dealt with the last threat to the earth when we went against
Galaxia." Haruka said, wondering what her fellow senshi was going to tell them.
She and Michiru had tried to get her to tell them on the ride over. She had kept
quiet until they arrive. "Why didn't you see it in the time gate?"

"First, I only use the Time Gate to get information that relate to the senshi's
general future. I try to avoid meddling with the future too much. It can lead to
major problems. Second, not all threats to earth involve the senshi. There are
others who are more suited to taking care of some of the troubles of the world."
Setsuna who was looking at the senshi with a intense stare.

"But the figure I'm thinking of is a demon-sorcerer of fire known as Shendu.
He was one of eight major demon-sorcerer that gained their powers through
different element forces. Earth, Water, Mountains, Sky, Wind, Lightning.
There was even a demon-sorcerer of the Moon." Setsuna looked at the surprise
looks on the other's faces as they heard that last part. But she continued on
with her story.

"But fortunately there were champions who seal most of the demons into an other
dimension. They were the eight immortals of Chinese history. All of the demons
were sealed, save one. Shendu. He was, however, turned into a statue of himself
due to the lost of his talismans. Twelve mystical objects in the form of the
twelve animals of the zodiac. Each one with it's own power. They were scattered
to the ends of the earth so that Shendu would remain as he was. Or that's how
it was the last time I checked. But Rei's vision seems to prove that things had
changed a bit."

"What should we do?" Usagi asked seeming to be more mature than she had been
acting.

"Well, I think that you might want to prepare in case something is happening.
But the first thing we should do is for me to use the Time Gate to see how the
Shendu situation has changed. Until then, I'm not sure what we can do..."
Setsuna thought as she looked into her fellow senshi's faces wondering what to do.

Meanwhile...

Daolong Wong had been busy in his search of evil magic. He had already caught many
strange spirits of darkness. Monster who used items to take on human form with attack
powers based on the form they had taken. Too bad it had taken so many of them meeting
with their death to find the secrets that he had know. A group of School girls were
helping the forces of light and held powerful magic in the forces of good. That had
left him with a bitter taste in his mouth. He would have to face them eventually.

But while he had found out something that surprise him. He had found a source of
energy that resemble the power of the talismans of Shendu. The same talismans that
had been recently been after with his dealings with the Chans. Talismans that he
wanted to use to further the forces of evil. But now he had found them in Japan
when as far as he knew they were protected in that secret base that confounded
chi wizard had warded against his darkness. That could mean something that he
could use for his own purposes.

So that was when he looked back to his cauldron to look for the source of the
power that he was finding. That's when it showed up. He had never been there but
he knew about Jusenkyo. The Springs of Sorrows. A place that held great possibilities
yet also great danger. Looking further back he saw a scene that wetted his hunger for
power. All Eight of the demon-sorcerers of the Pan Ku had been to the valley and had
fallen into the pools. Being Demons they survive. Yet they had left pool that contained
their forms and powers. How he hungered for the power that could come from bathing
in the combined waters of all eight pools. To hold the power of all eight demon-sorcerers.

But he dare not go till he had protection from the powers of the valley, else he be curse
with a form not of his choosing. that could cause him to have troubles with his plans.
For now he would have to watch and study the holder of the power of the demon form
of Shendu.

But what should he do? He had to choose between battling with the forces of good these
girls seemed to have. A force that had stopped or destroyed powerful force of destructive
darkness. Or to watch and perhaps gain the power of the demon curse individual. Which
path should he choose? Which would be best for him.

His old face smiled as he thought of the possible power he could gain from the demon
cursed person. Power that he could use to counter the power that these girls held.
Power that he would eventually take as his own. It was only a matter of time. Then
who know what would happen next. The only thing was that the Chans would be facing his
empowered wraith.

Elsewhere, a few days later...

Cologne had found the building easily enough. It had just been a case of following the
report of strangeness. She knocked on the door of the house to be answered by a kind faced
young woman. A young woman she could see held a great source of mystical chi energy. A
woman with powerful chi mage possibilities. A greater potential then Shampoo held. 'Perhaps,'
Cologne thought, 'I have found my apprentice.'

"Hello, May I help you?" the young woman asked the elder. A smile never left her face.

"I am Cologne. Shampoo's great-grandmother. I'm looking for her and the one known as Ranma
Saotome. This is the Tendo residence, ne?" Cologne asked as she kept her eyes on the figure
before her, trying to see if she knew of her potential.

"Yes. I'm Kasumi Tendo." The young girl introduce herself as she tried to help the older
woman. "I'm sorry to tell you this but Ranma isn't here. He's just left for school. But
Shampoo is here." And as if by magic they heard running the ended with Cologne's young
great-granddaughter appearing beside the Tendo woman.

"Great-grandmother." Shampoo said excitedly as she went to hug her elder. She was still
in her human form. "Welcome. How can Shampoo help?"

Cologne stood back after the hug. "I came back to help with both your training as an Amazon
and to help Ranma & you get use to the power you have developed as the results of your
curses. I sense a great force of darkness coming closer to this place. We must be ready for
a battle that has yet to show up."

"Yes. Great-grandmother. Shampoo will practice very hard to be ready for battle. What
must Shampoo do." Shampoo said as she stood before her elder, positioning herself so that
she could follow her elder's teaching.

"First you must practice your simple, practice spell casting. Your magic skills have only
just been developing. They are not as further along as your martial abilities. Then I will
check on your abilities with your Demon form to see how well you have master your new form's
abilities." The old woman said as she looked at her descendant. Then she turned to look at
Kasumi. "I will also have to talk to your father and perhaps your whole family as well. I
believe that I will have to get to know them fast." The three woman then entered the Tendo
home.

Meanwhile, at Furinkan....

Ranma had just arrived at school again. He had been trying to avoid Kuno. Ever since he had
beaten him the first day, the young man had been trying to beat him. Ranma had even beaten Kuno
in human form. But that hadn't stop him from calling Ranma a dark sorcerer. Kuno didn't even
know how close to the truth he was.

Nabiki had gone ahead as usual and Akane was beside him. She was slightly upset that because
of him the fights had stop. It seems that Kuno had tried to get them to fight Ranma instead
of Akane to get a date with Akane. But one day with demon Ranma and they decided that they
would be trying that again. Still he had started to carry a bottle of cold water around him.
It matched the thermos of hot water he also carried with him. He wanted to be prepared for any
fight that he had to face while on his way to school. Right now he was in human form, but
he might need to go to demon form. He made sure that both were in easy reach in case he
needed it.

He didn't think that it weird when he had heard the death threat come at him from above.

"Ranma, Prepare to die."
