Ranma = was made by Rumiko Takahashi I am not their owner also there are bits in this story which I found in a science fiction book by Terry Brookes note I am not the owner of those either well hope you like the story

A dark figure walked the night streets of Nerima, 
'So this is the place of the powerful readings' the figure thought.
 It opened its mind to find his prey and hissed in delight.
 'Four powerful warriors who will be such a powerful prey' he seemed to laugh at this 'not now though; I need my colleagues to tell them I have found the place where the warriors are'.
 He spotted some thing
'Yes you will do for now' his eyes glowed red as he homed in on an old homeless man.

Ranma walked on the fence as usual with Akane below him suddenly Akane looked up
 "Ranma we are going to be late!" Akane yelled running off. 
Ranma shook his head getting rid of what he was day dreaming it was strange he tried to remember it was a night mere he had been having he was worried it could be a bad omen. Suddenly realising Akane wasn't with him anymore.
 He shouted  
"Hey!! Akane wait up!" as he broke out into a run.

"BAKA!" Akane yelled at Ranma they were late and where standing outside with a bucket of water and a sign saying they were late.
 "What is it Akane" Ranma said,
 "If you hadn't been day dreaming we would have been here sooner!" Ranma just sighed 
 "What is it Ranma?" Akane asked genuine concern in here voice for a second, normally he would have insulted her for her remarks.
 "S'notin really; I had a bad dream last night." Ranma mumbled 
"What about?" Ranma sighed 'might as well tell her
 "I dreamt I was looking out of the window and then I looked around and I was gone lost in a forest I started to run and then a figure came up to me I couldn't see his face. He said 'it won't be long now Ranma Saotome not long at all laughed as he disappeared as some as he came' then I wake up its just so real I was wondering what does it mean." 
"Well it perhaps doesn't mean anything Ranma."
 "And what would a tomboy like you know about dreams." Ranma said
 Akane fumed a blue aura around her.
 "RANMA NO BAKA!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled and pulled out her hyper dimensional hammer she then pelted Ranma out of the window. 

Ranma sat down and began watching the T.V he flipped and began to watch the news.
 "A mysterious murder occurred last night in the Nerima district an old homeless man was found dead and mutilated it is unknown as to how he died so far and the police aren't giving any details."
 Ranma turned it off it wasn't helping he had a bad feeling about the old man.
  "Hello? Ranma what are you doing back from school so early" Kasumi asked 
"Arghh I wasn't feeling too good Kasumi I'm going upstairs to lie down don't forget to call me for lunch." Ranma said
 As he began to go to his room. Ranma lied down and in a few seconds later he was asleep. When Ranma woke up it was night time he was feeling a little better he had no bad dreams and he seemed oddly refreshed, but something kept nagging him in the back of his head and he couldn't find out what it was, he gave up trying to find out what it was and just accepted that it would come to him eventually. He went down stairs to see why Kasumi hadn't called him for lunch. "Ah Ranma your awake" Kasumi said she as she prepared dinner 
"Um Kasumi why didn't you call me for lunch?" 
"Well, you were sleeping and I shouldn't wake you if you are not well. Sleep is the best cure for colds" She replied 
"Hey Ranma are you okay?" Akane asked holding a dosing P-Chan
 "Yeah I'm fine Akane I guess I was just tired." P-Chans eyes snapped opened and glared at Ranma. Ranma glared back Akane slapped Ranma 
"Stop glaring at P-Chan." Soun and Genma finished playing Shogi and waited for dinner. Dinner went pretty much normally or for what passed as normal in the Tendo household with Ranma and Genma stealing food from each other's plate and everyone else ignoring them as they ate.

Ranma lay on his futon he couldn't sleep no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't and that annoyed him he just felt extremely restless. He looked over at his father sleeping in his panda form. He turned his back and tried once more to sleep. He must have been sleeping because he didn't hear someone coming in the room. He jumped up he heard a noise from his room he took a defensive posture ready for any idiot who would try to mess with him he wondered idly about who it could be Ryouga? Cologne? Happosai? Shampoo? 
"Hahahahaha" Came a low chuckle
Ranma shuddered that wasn't Kodatchi's laugh this one was very different. 
"The first to fall" It said mockingly. 
Ranma was pushed hard and slammed against the wall he looked to see his attacker. He wore black, which contrasted the white of his face that was all really Ranma could see the darkness cloaked him in the room. Ranma threw a mighty punch which the attacker didn't dodge but instead grabbed his punch in his own hand and squeezed Ranma cried out as he felt his hand being crushed and threw another punch. The attacker let go of his hand and his punch flew by harmlessly. Ranma was back handed and hit once again the wall. He felt himself lifted and thrown across the room landing on his back. The attacker pinned Ranma to the floor with a foot on his chest. Ranma struggled but to no avail this guy felt like he was made of iron he shouted.
 "POP SOMEBODY HELP!" No one woke up he felt suddenly very alone. The attacker lowered himself and grabbed Ranma's hands in one of his then lifted Ranma off the ground the attacker stared at Ranma in the eyes. Ranma felt all resistance melt away when he stared in those eyes. The attacker showed his fangs and yet still Ranma struggled although much weaker then he did before. The attacker ripped Ranma top clothes guarding his neck the attacker lowered his head to Ranmas neck he then whispered in Ranmas ear
 "This is going to hurt." He then pulled his fangs into Ranmas neck and pierced his main vein catching the blood that flowed, and drinking it. Ranmas cried out in excruciating pain he felt like he was going to die his cries quickly became lower as he felt light-headed and drowsy. The vampire let go of Ranma and put his hand to Ranmas neck the fang wounds healed instantly he took half his blood. Ranmas vision was blurry the vampire then said 
"Forget" and Ranma fell asleep unaware of the tragedies that awaited him. 

"Ugh" Ranma groaned
 As he got up he noticed that was still late and his father was sleeping and seemed to be growling. Ranma betted he was dreaming of food. He went to the bathroom and felt sick he looked at his face and was looking a bit paler. He shrugged. Then he noticed something 
"What the?" he looked at his top it looked shredded.
 "Wonder how that happened?" He said, he changed his top and went back to sleep. 

Same time

	A boy looking about nineteen wearing black and carrying a bandoleer wondered the streets of Tokyo when he heard something it was laughter.
 "Oh shit," He said as a two vampire jumped out of the darkness. The boy did a spinning kick knocking the first vampire away. But was solidly hit by the next. He went down winded but not hurt. He got up and found a pellet from the bandoleer he carried he threw it at the vampire. It screamed as if burnt. The first vampire ran at him. The boy pulled a stake from his belt he hurled it at the vampire with pinpoint accuracy. It hit the vampire in the chest exploding him into dust. The second vampire got away from the pellet and disappeared. The boy jumped just as a portal opened from where he was just standing. The vampire jumped out fangs ready.  The boy reached in his bandoleer again and pulled out 1 thick round stake. He pulled along it separating the sticks he now held 5 in his hand. He held them and his hands got yellow chi in the flowing in the sticks. He threw them. 
"VAMPIRE CAPTURE!" he yelled they flew from his hands like comets and struck the vampire in the arms legs and 1 in the stomach. They flew on carrying him with them and slammed into a wall then they solidified into wood holding him. The wood was like fire he tried to dislodge them or his hand to get free but he knew it was hopeless. The boy was on him with a silver knife at the vampires neck. 
"Tell me where is the lieutenant heading." The vampire laughed 
" Somewhere in the Nerima district but I don't -cough- know where- cough- you find out for yourself."
 "Then. DIE." He said slicing his head off the carcass seemed to evaporate and was gone.
 "Hmm well Nerima here I come." He said, he went to a black motor cycle revved up and road off.  

	The vampire felt Ranmas strength enter him as he took his blood it was sweet and fresh oh it was fantastic so energetic so strong and he was a virgin to top it off are they had chosen well. He looked at the black midnight sky his comrades will be coming and so will the master's lieutenant the light shall fall and the days of fire shall come again he thought with desire. He went to a warehouse and broke open a casket it held a coffin inside he pulled it out and felt the light coming. Sunrise. He got inside the coffin and slept dreams of death and darkness winning over light.

	Ranma got up and yelled
 "Wadda ya do that for." in the pitched high female voice.
 "Are you going to sleep all day?  We have morning practise." Genma said.
 Ranma grumbled. He got up and got some hot water from a convenient kettle lying nearby. He still felt a little weak but he couldn't remember why?  He was frustrated but a nice beating of his old man should make him feel better.
	Ranma got into a fighting stance and Genma did the same, Ranma ran in and launched a simple flying kick. Genma blocked and 5 minutes later a Genma-panda and a female Ranma came inside Kasumi called them for breakfast and Ranma and Genma began eating food as though he hadn't had anything to eat for a year.  Ranma changed back to male and he and Akane ran out to school knowing they would be late. 

	The five people walked slowly the streets of Nerima it was 3 o clock at night no one should be awake all should be asleep except for the undead and of course party goers.  The third person clearly looked like the leader he just had an aura of power and evil. This was simply because he was the lieutenant he had personally killed over 60 Vampire Hunters and 3 Vampire slayers as well as countless mortals but he was going to kill more to his strength. Suddenly the others looked a little tense they could feel something was wrong.
 "So I found the lieutenant and 4 cronies. Hadn't expected someone like you to be here" A person said with distaste. 
" Why don't you surrender now or prepare to fight" The person said again. The vampires looked at each other and laughed 
"HAHAHAHAHAAHA" The leader laughed 
"Come and show your self hunter. Or are you scared of me and my 'cronies'"
 Suddenly one of the vampires fell to the ground dead then exploded into dust. Then voice shouted
 "VAMPIRE KILL." A bright light flared and the leader jumped back and a stake landed right in front of just where he had been. The other low vampires collapsed and exploded into dust. 
"So you rid me of my associates it doesn't matter they always were to slow now come show your self."
 A boy wearing black and a bandoleer came into the light. He was holding a silver dagger. A black dagger materialised in the leader hand 
"Come let's see how good you are."
 They charged. The clanging of metal was heard and sparks jumped were the two blades met the vampire swung his dagger and the boy jumped into the air to avoid being cut the wall behind him got a deep cut from the strike of the vampire. The boy was a little worried he rid the other vampires but this vampire was fighting stronger and he had a lot of power. He shouldn't have gotten so quick into this fight this vampire was a lieutenant not some lower class vampire he cursed as he dodged another swing again behind him he heard bricks breaking.
 "So you have some skill once I kill you I will have it." The vampire said. The vampire channelled dark energy into the dagger he then stuck it in the ground the energy went threw the ground destroying the pavement road and everything in its path. The boy couldn't jump in time and got hit he was thrown back through the broken wall he got up and channelled his energy into his hand a bolt of white chi hit the vampire in the chest throwing him into some garbage. The boy was getting weaker that blast took his strength he jumped up high and jumped from rooftop to rooftop to get away. The vampire got up he fell on some rotting fish
 'How dare he' he got up to give chase but slipped on some slime and wound up back in the garbage. 
'I will kill him for that' he got up and went to meet with the other vampire. The leader came to the warehouse and went in. The low vampire bent down and knelled before him.
 "Your excellence I hope there was no troub..Argh" The vampire was being held up by his throat 
"There was a vampire hunter here he killed my associates why is there a hunter here?" 
"I don't understand I sent vampires to kill all hunters and slayers in Tokyo.."
 "Well you failed I should kill you for that!"
 He tightened his grip shaking from rage. He then dropped him 
"Fail me once more and I will kill you slowly and painfully understand?" The vampire nodded 'yes' the leader opened a portal with a wave of his hand and 20 vampires came out. 
"These are the orders and are to be carried out to the letter. As you know there are 4 very powerful people we have in this remote Japan the orders are to capture them and turn them into vampires simple yes?" all the vampires nodded 
"NO! It is not a hunter is here I suspect its Mika." all the vampires shook with rage Mika was a well-known Hunter who had killed at least 120 vampires most of them were medium or lower class but he had once killed a lieutenant this had earned him a reputation. 
"These are the people you will go after he separated them into groups of 5 listen and listen good group one. He pointed to the group furthest to his left you shall go after the one who is called Mousse, group 2 you are after the one called Kuno Tatewaki, group 3 you are after the one called Ryouga Hibiki and group 4 you are after Ranma Saotome I shall go with group 4 and you Marov you shall go with group 3; tomorrow death shall reign supreme and soon fire shall return and darkness shall have it's revenge." 

Mika wearily returned to an abandoned house, he laid down on a futon he carried with him and tried to relax. 
'A lieutenant' he thought bitterly 'worse a stronger lieutenant then the other he had killed. Hmm Must have a damn good reason to be here, hmmm there's more behind trying to turn people into Vampires.'
 Mika started to think
 ' Turning a Vampire hunter or slayer does happen but there are none here in Nerima are they? Then why here? Why?' 
Hmm He remembered his training and his teacher. (Teachers voice disembodied)
 "Mika you must remember that if your comrades fall and turn to darkness you must kill them and release them for they know too much to live. However if they die by vampires by drink then die only their strength will flow to that vampire so beware of them vampires that have killed slayers and hunters.  There may also be mortals who posses strong attributes if these mortals are converted then the vampires will grow stronger then ever..."
(Voice fades) 
"That's it! Nerima now I remember this is a focal point for Martial artists why didn't I see it before! Martial artist with more then average human abilities. I better find out who they are lets see they have to be young around 16 to 30 more power, male for physical strength and able to do extraordinary abilities. Hmm I'm going to need to get some information on the local martial artist" He yawned  
"But now I need some sleep." And then Mika fell into a deep sleep. 

He woke up 4 hours later he yawned and saw daylight he grumbled he hated having to wake up
Early but he didn't have much of a choice he had to find out who the martial artist were. He went
Out and was very hungry 
'Okay' he thought to himself 
'Where is a good restaurant'. He jumped
On to the roof of a building and started leaping peering down to find a restaurant he liked using the roof no one saw him and it sure beats getting pushed by pedestrians.
  'Ah here's one the 'Cat Cafi' he walked in and found it was Chinese, he didn't have a problem with it he could speak 4 languages because of his travels and it was a necessity how else would he find a
Vampire in china speaking Japanese. He sat down at a table the restaurant wasn't really full
Seemed like a good place to eat. A waitress came to him he looked up and thought 
'Wow she's beautiful' 
"You order now yes?" The waitress asked him.
 'Obviously she didn't speak Japanese very well' 
"Um yeah sure I'd like some Ramen please. And a glass of cold water" 
He said as she went to get his food he began to think 
'Okay where can I get information from and from who?' 
"Your meal here." The waitress said
 "Excuse me" he said 
"Something wrong with Ramen?"
"No it's just do you know where I can buy some information about something?"
 "Ask Sneaky girl Nabiki Tendo"
 "Okay thanks" Mika finished the meal and went to the counter to pay there
was an old woman there
. "Here" he said handing some yen over 'yuck she looks like a ghoul.' He went out then just remembered 'where can I find Nabiki Tendo?' He went to a person who looked like a student 
"Excuse me do you know where I can find Nabiki Tendo?" 
The Man looked up and at the mention of her name screamed and ran down the street. 
"O-okay I'll take that as a no." After a few minute he decided that he couldn't find her everyone he asked seemed to be fearful of her very name although on reflection he was asking mainly students. Finally he gave up and decided to make sure he knew Nerima's streets. He grabbed
His Motorbike from where he parked it and revved off. As he went through the streets he began
To wonder why nobody even looked at him funnily he was dressed in total black with a black
Motorcycle and yet no one looked at him this was strange. After he decided he knew the streets pretty well he was hungry it was about lunchtime. He found a place called 'Ucchans' hmm-well beats going
Hungry. 

Ranma And Akane sat down it was lunchtime and Ranma was hungry and was about to go into
His bag when. Akane smiled at Ranma 
"Ranma?" 
"Hmm" 
"Are you hungry?"
 "Yeah 'm starving."
"Well.."
 'Oh no nnnnnnnnoooooooooooo' 
Ranmas mind quickly registered what was going on and started to panic sweat drops started to form on the back of his head.
 "Well I made this for you" she shoved something that looked like green jelly in his face 
"It's Cake"
"Ranma looked down on it, it burbled and Ranma swore it looked like it was alive"
 Suddenly the jelly cake hooked onto Ranma face
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!!!!!!!!!"
 Ranma shouted Running in circles with the jelly on his hair and oozing down his face. Trying to pull it off Ranma grabbed it and gave a mighty pull it came off and Ranma through it to the ground and shouted
 "MOUKO TAKABISHA!" destroying the Cake/Jelly Suddenly a Hammer smashed into Ranmas head knocking his face into the ground. 
" I spent a long time making that cake since you didn't feel well and you had to destroy it! Ranma you JERK" Emphasising the last bit with another hammer
Blow and then walking off. Ranma pulled his face out from the ground and murmured about uncute tomboys and went over to his table and pulled out his lunch box which contained the lunch Kasumi had made 
"A life saver" he said as he began to eat. After lunch Ranma sat down in
The shade of a tree relaxing. 
"Ranma you vile sorcerer, I shall defeat you then you shall release the pig tailed goddess and the beautiful huntress Akane so commands Tatewaki Kuno the Blue Thunder Of Furinkan High!" Lightning hits behind him 
'Oh great' Ranma groans Kuno charges at
Him and swings his bokken in a wild arc Ranma dodges and delivers a strong kick in Kunos face
Knocking him back but not out Ranma then follows up with an uppercut sending Kuno unconscious into a tree. Ranma sighs and goes indoors before it starts to rain. 

Mika steps in and sits down at a table he hears thunder and lightning in the distance 
'Great that all I need' he thinks as a waitress comes to him 
'Yikes! What is it with Nerima and good-looking women? Maybe I should come to Nerima more often' "Hi there sugah you ready to order yet?"
"Umm sure can I have an okonomiyaki special please and a coke"
 Ukyo flipped a piping hot okonomiyaki on to Mikas plate and he began to eat pretty soon the restaurant was full. Ukyo saw that Mika looked slightly troubled. Mika looked to the sky only a few more hours before they go after their targets and I have no idea who they are it's so damn frustrating usually it's here we are come and get us not were here hiding. When the rush went down for a few minutes Ukyo came over to him. 
"Hey Konatsu take over for a few minutes." 
"Yes Ukyo-sama" A girl replied suddenly appearing.
 "Hey what's on your mind sugah?"
 "Hmm" Mika said Ukyo disrupted his thoughts.
 "Well I need to find someone who can help me." 
"Well ask away."
 "Well okay I need to find the best Martial artist in Nerima." 
"Well that's easy that's my fiancie Ranma."
 "He is? Where is he where is he staying?" Mika asked getting excited 
 "Whoa you're not going to challenge him are you" Ukyo ask suspiciously 
 "No but I need to find him and a Nabiki Tendo 'I might still need her'."
 "Well here she wrote the address of the Tendo dojo go there in a few
Hours time and he'll be there."
 "Thanks" Mika said he paid and gave a big tip. 
'Great I've got one but I'm missing something why? Why come after only one martial artist unless oh great there is something I'm missing, but I don't know what I know that they are after more then just Ranma it would be impractical and no reason to send so many vampires'.  
'Hmm well I'd better see if I can find the vampires hiding place and better place a report to the vampire hunters guild in Japan.'
 He goes to his bike and goes back to the abandoned house and takes a laptop out of a holder on the motor bike he opened it and pressed his finger on a black patch a computer voice said
 "*beep* *beep* name and authorisation?"
 At this point Mika Spoke 
" 6347.M" 
"Password?" Mika paused 
"Family." He opened the laptop it needed such high security otherwise a vampire could find the headquarters of the Hunters and that would be extremely bad. Not only that but it had all the plans of making the weapons that kill vampires as well as a lot of other high tech gizmos. He type a code and the screen changed to show a man in his fifties looking back 
"Mika?" 
"Sensei I have bad news"
 "What is it? We've got trouble here"
"Martial artist in the Nerima section of Tokyo are going to be attacked."
 "Martial artist? But why so serious?"
 "These Martial artist I remember are extremely strong and powerful I also remember they aren't even Vampire hunters or stepped into the eternal and yet can throw Ki Blast." 
At this the old man grew disturbed 
"If you are right then I am fearful none of our Hunters are near your position the nearest is 300 miles away most of those who are near you have been recorded dead in the last 48 hours."
 "Of course those two who attacked me." 
"Mika be on your guard"
 "Sensei the lieutenant is here" 
"The LIEUTENANT this is even more serious I'll do my best to get
Reinforcement but most of them have been attacked and are held up I'm sorry. That's why we've
Got trouble most of our Vampire hunters in Japan have fallen and it seems from this that the whole of Nerima has been cut off I'm afraid it could be some time before we get to you I'm sorry"
 "Don't be I'll do my best. Mika out"
He closed his laptop well back to business, 
"I have no forces and sunset is in a few hours away then they go after their prey and if the vampires who took out my comrades are here" he shudders "this could be a loooong night. Better be prepared" and he started to create things that he knew he would need when the time comes. 

Ranma slept in his history class the teacher just shook his head and started to read about
Revolutions. 
"And since then women can know vote in a free democratic parliament"
"NNNOOOOO!!!" shouted Ranma having just woken up
 "Well despite Ranmas objection women do have the right to vote." Said the teacher as all the girls in the class started giving Ranma hateful looks while the boys laughed. Ranma groaned and banged his head on the desk it was definitely not his day. Ranma shuddered in his dream he felt an evil presence he saw someone after him and Ranma couldn't move the thing came right up to him and said 
"Almost time to die hope you like it."
It said then bit Ranma in the neck then Ranma woke up screaming
'No!' 

Ranma went home on the fence deep in thought he had a great sense of foreboding and it wasn't
Boding well something was coming today and soon. They arrived at the Tendo dojo and went in.

Mika had his motorbike and was making his way to the Tendo dojo when he heard someone say
Nabiki at the end of seemed like a deal. He saw a man about seventeen carrying a bokken and
Deeply engrossed in his photos. He kept mumbling about 
'Akane' 'beautiful' 'sorcery' 'I shall smite thee and free my loves!!'
 "Hmm"
 Mika thought then he remembered Nabiki and went to see her he saw a brown hair girl wearing a school uniform now walking home he presumed he went to her on his bike and said 
"Nabiki Tendo?" 
"Yes" 
"I need an answer to a question"
"What the question" 
"Who are the best Martial artists in Nerima?" 
"Give me 5'000yen and I'll tell you"
 'She doesn't realise how important this is and that's day light robbery' 
"Here" he said shoving the money in her hands
"Well the are so many" 
"Arghh just tell me the male one 16 or older."
 Giving her another 1'000 yen sunset was only 30min away 
"Well there's Ranma Ryouga Mousse and just maybe, maybe Kuno." 
"Who's the most powerful!" 
Giving another 1'000yen
 "Ranma why"
 "He's in great danger come on" 
He grabbed her and put her the motorbike and revved off before she could say anything 
"Who are you" 
She said against the roaring wind
 "Mika I'm a vampire hunter. The Darkness is coming after Ranma and the others I can't save but the most powerful can't fall or were all doomed." 
He said as they neared the dojo 28mins till sunset. He got off the bike as they were outside Nabiki got up as well
 "Come on"
 Kasumi opened the door she saw Mika dragging Nabiki Ranma and Akane were sitting down watching T.V P-Chan was sitting next to Akane and glared at the interruption. Soun and Genma were playing Shogi. 

25min to sunset

"Listen everyone Ranma is in grave danger."   
"I'd better make some tea," Kasumi said sighing 

Mika explained everything Ryouga walked in his hair slightly wet. He sat down now and
Listened. 
"What are your special techniques"
 Mika said. Akane held Ranma's hand and squeezed it very slightly, before she pulled it away. Ranma said with a cocky grin 
"I'm fast and can shoot Ki blast from my confidence. And I'm the best Martial artist in Nerima perhaps Japan" 
Ryouga spoke "And also with the biggest ego"
 He turned to Mika  "I can destroy rocks and shoot Ki from my depression." 
Ranma jumped in 
"Mousse is a hidden weapon's master and Kunos good with a sword that's about it." Mika began to get the idea he turned to Ryouga 
"Is that thing to destroy rock can it kill humans?" 
"No just rock" Said Ryouga. Mika had an idea
 "Think of it like this Ryouga your... What's it called?" 
"Bakusai tenketsu" 
"Yes that what if Mousse had that and could use it with his chains?"
 "Well I don't think he could" 
"Hypothetically"
 "Well uh he could destroy things at a distance."
 "Right now what if someone had your thing uh"
 "Bakusai Tenketsu"
"Yeah that and Mousses ability to throw hidden weapons Ranmas speed and Kunos speed with a
Weapon."
"That someone could destroy a lot of things." Ryouga said thinking 'is this guy trying to make me seem like a dope?' 
"Right he could throw a knife at someone and the speed would kill them and blow them apart with the that Bakutai satsuor what ever."
"What can we do"
 Asked Akane 
"Nothing, Ranma I can see you have already been bitten"
"WHAT??!!" 
Everyone started to step away from Ranma in case he started to go Vampire on
Them.
 "No they bit him not changed him possible to taste him. Now all of you step away" 
Mika drew a circle with a chalk he then threw a ward on it he then pulled a rope out he charged his Ki
And threw it at the ceiling it stuck on the ceiling like glue.
"Both of you Ranma and Ryouga step in the circle. And tie the rope to you" 
"Why?"
 "This circle will protect you from harm the vampires can't teleport in nor can they walk in but once you step outside they have you. The rope is to make sure that if you do come out you will be held by the rope Ok "
 "Why can't you do that to all of us then so none of us get caught?" Asked Nabiki 
"I am you girls will get in another circle and so will you" he pointed to Genma and Soun.
 "What about you?" asked Ranma 
"I can't go in a circle"
 "Why?" 
"Because I am a vampire hunter and swore to fight against vampires whenever possible." Mika said striking a dramatic pose
 "What does that mean?" replied Ryouga 
Mika pose deflated 
"It means I can't go in there you see hat kind of a vampire hunter would I be if I ran into protective circles? Now all of you get in only 5 mins to sun set." 
"Hey can't we fight with you"
Asked Ranma 
"No you and Ryouga are all to valuable if you fall I have failed and the darkness has won" 
"What about me?" Akane 
"I'm a Martial artist too and I'm good"
Ranma was about to say something when Mika said
 "No they are 3 times as strong as a human and 2.5 times faster you can't fight them and over power them directly you would be a snack to them stay in the circle so you won't get hurt, only I can face them. Not only that but do you think Ranma or Ryouga would stay I the circle if you came out and faced a vampire? Hell no they would come charging out and be eaten"

  3 mins to sunset

Genma and Soun went in their circle Kasumi Nabiki and Akane also went as did
Ranma and Ryouga Mika stood there and waited his hand on 2 silver daggers and he pulled
Them out with a slicing sound 

1min to sunset

 The door opened and in stepped Ukyo 
"Hi Ranma I've brought some okonomiyaki for you"
 "Ukyo get in the circle NOW!!" cried Ranma
 "Huh?" said Ukyo 

0 min to sunset.

"Oh Shit!!!"
 Mika said and pushed Ukyo out of the way a vampire suddenly appeared cloaked in black as though it was a hole where light could not penetrate. Mika got up and yelled a battle cry as he engaged the vampire in combat twelve more vampire's suddenly appeared Mika recognised the lieutenant and still he was fighting this lower class vampire 5 more started to come after him. He reached into his bandoleer and threw a stake at a vampire the vampire caught it and tossed it away. 
"Huh?" 
They shouldn't have been able to do that they must be more than lower class vampires." He gathered his Ki.
"Vampire destroy" 
White light shot out of his hands and smashed into the nearest vampire smashing him into the others. 
Ukyo got up unsteadily and saw the boy she had helped out earlier fighting what seemed like 5 dark figures. She turned around to walk into the circle where Ranma was and suddenly she was thrown back in a wall. She looked up the lieutenant was looking at her smiling she suddenly felt very alone.

Cat Cafi

Cologne looked up and felt an evil presence she yelled and called Mousse and Shampoo they appeared and started asking what's wrong 
"What is it great grandmother?"
Shampoo asked
"Yes what is it old hag" Mousse asked a pot plant.
"Over here boy!"
Mousse turned to Cologne who promptly hit him over the head 
"What is it" he repeated
"Something is coming get ready" 

The door to the Cat cafi suddenly was blown apart and five shadows came in 
"Vampires" Cologne hissed Shampoo noticed a trace of fear in her great grandmother's voice. Mousse threw chains at them and they dodged them one grabbed the chain and pulled Mousse towards it and a tug off war insured. Colognes staff broke the chain and Mousse fell back so did the Vampire, the vampire then disappeared. Shampoo pulled out her bonbori and jumped into combat with a vampire and didn't notice another vampire sneaking up behind her. Mousse ran and slammed into him pulling the vampire down claws came down onto Mousses hands and he tried to stab at the thing that dare hurt shampoo he was catapulted across the cat cafi into the wall with a thud Cologne pulled a ward from under the counter and threw them at the vampires she used the Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken speed and one hit a vampire on the head. The Vampire started to thrash around as the hated thing stuck to its head Cologne then jumped avoiding the Vampires and hit her staff in the Vampires heart. It exploded into dust and then Cologne noticed Shampoo was on the ground both her Bonboris destroyed and her hands caught in a vice like grip of the Vampire. 
	With Colognes attention away she immediately was set upon by two vampires each clawing and slashing at her there speed was phenomenal and she was forced into a corner her staff blocking the strikes of the vampires her strength started to wane as she wasn't used to long fights like this and knew she had to do something.
	Mousse got up unsteadily and tried to focus 'SHAMPOO!!!' the vampire had her hands pinned and he could see her looking directly into its eyes the vampire was reaching down to bite her neck Mousse realised. He pulled a wooden stake from his cloak and threw it at the vampires head just as he felt some thing open up and his feet fall from under him. 
	Shampoo tried to fight this creature but as soon as she neared it, it broke her bonbori like they were twigs she tried hand to hand combat and the thing had forced her to her knees grabbing both of her hands in a vice grip. She then made the mistake of looking into the vampires eyes her memory failed her and she couldn't think of who she was or what she was doing she was totally immobile and the vampires head lowered it self to her neck. Then she heard a scream of anguish and the vampire roared back with a wooden pike imbedded in its head. She now was back in control of her body she reached for a piece of her broken bonbori and stabbed the vampire in the heart it evaporated into smoke and was gone.
	Cologne powered her Ki up and was about to release it but then the vampires she was facing vanished she looked around and noticed Shampoo was okay yet where was Mousse?

Kuno Manor 

	5 figures broke into the house they broke through a window and walked in bright lights suddenly flared.
"Who dost dare to invade the sanctuary of Tatewaki Kuno the Blue thunder of Furinkan high" thunder strikes. 
The vampires looked shocked they wanted this guy he sounded like he was a complete idiot well orders were orders they ran with speed at Kuno who was on top of the stairs they didn't expect resistance so were unprepared for a razor sharp hoop which sliced the head of one of their comrades and a shrunken that slammed into the chest of one which hurt it but didn't kill it. This got them angry.
"HOHOHOHOHOHO leave creatures of the night or do you want to die like that thing there HOHOHOHOHO Tell me does the harlot in pigtails send you to kill me HOHOHOHO"
 Kuno shuddered and even the vampires shuddered. They flew and Kuno shouted
"So the vile sorcerer Ranma Saotome sends his dark minions to do battle with me bah he is no man!!"
Kuno then started to slash at the nearest vampire to him and then shouted 
"strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike!" the vampire fell apart black blood flowing from its body 
"Hah see vile sorcerer how easily I dispatch your minions HAHAHAHAHA-urk" as Kuno was gloating he was unprepared for the other vampire who was behind him held a face akin to disgust and knocked Kuno out a black portal appeared and they vanished. Kodatchi was hurt were a claw of one of the vampires hit her it moved to finish her but then vanished Why she thought. Sasuke got up a bit wobbly the vampires had him he was sure his life was ended there and then but they vanished. He noticed Kodatchi's arm and went to her. 
"Sasuke bandage my arm"
"Yes mistress"
After the Arm was bandaged Kodatchi began to pace
"Come Sasuke we go to see me beloved Ranma Saotome he shall protect us against these unholy legions of the night and the harlot in pigtails" 
"Yes mistress" Sasuke sighed

Tendo household 

  Ranma and Ryouga looked out helplessly Ranma then started to untie his rope
"What are you doing" Ryouga yelled at Ranma
"They need our help!" Ranma yelled back
Ryouga also started to undo his rope Akane saw the battle going on and saw that Mika stood no chance there were just to many so she made her decision she quickly untied the rope and jumped into the fray. 
"AKANE!!" Yelled Ranma he jumped out of his circle and ran to Akane he then punched the nearest vampire with lightning speed it smashed into the vampires face breaking it's skull and jaw the vampire fell back in pain but not dead. Mika pulled out a pellet and threw it at Ranma and Akane it exploded and all the vampires near them fell back as if the gas from the pellet was acid but it won't last long. Mika then noticed Ukyo the lieutenant was about to bite her the lieutenant seemed to look at him smiling them bit Ukyo. Ukyo screamed and her head shot back as the Vampire bit into her neck she could feel her blood draining away she felt light headed and then she saw a blackness start to creep across her vision.
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!! SHI SHI HOUKODAN!!!!" 
Ryouga yelled and the Ki blast smashed into the lieutenants back he withdrew his fangs and was thrown by the blast through the wall of the Tendo home Ukyo fell limply to the floor and didn't move Ryouga was instantly to her side he grabbed her and ran into the circle as a vampire tried to reach him. The vampires hand can in the circle one second it was there the next it was the Vampire shrieked as the circle disintegrated its hand. Ryouga looked down onto Ukyo she looked very pale but her chest rose up and down he felt her pulse and noticed that the wound wasn't healed and she was still bleeding he used his hands to try and stop the bleeding but couldn't he tore off a bandanna tears blinding his eyes and tied it round her neck to try and stop the bleeding. But he didn't have any knowledge on how to stop neck wounds he looked at Kasumi he made up his mind he carried Ukyo in his arms and tried to run into Nabiki and Kasumi's circle he suddenly felt something open at his feet he jumped and a looked down to see a portal open and shut were he was inside that portal he swore he could see red eyes. He entered Kasumi's circle and dropped Ukyo on the floor he said 
"Please help her"
Then ran back to help Ranma and Akane
	Ranma yelled Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken and threw all his punches to keep the vampires away from Akane he swore to himself that he wouldn't let them touch her 2 vampires attacked him from behind and he fell to the floor he felt them tear into his back and felt pain lance about him he saw Ukyo then scream and saw the bright light of the Shi Shi Houkodan go off he roared in anger and threw all the vampires off him he yelled.
"Mouko Takabisha!" 
And the vampire that came from behind him was thrown back. Akane threw a punch and the Vampire she aimed at ducked and then uppercutted her sending her back into Ranma's arms. Ranma felt a red haze creep across his face he yelled a ferocious battle cry and punched the Vampire so hard he shattered all the bones in it's chest yet still it got up feeling it's healing system start to repair the damage.
Mika stabbed the nearest vampire and it disintegrated into dust he saw Ryouga, Akane and Ranma come out of their circles 'fools' he thought 'they haven't the equipment or the knowledge to defeat the vampires' he stabbed another and cut off it's head he was getting tired and he noticed that all were getting tired. He jumped back as the lieutenant came back with two black daggers faintly throbbing.
"I owe you for the other day Mika"
The Vampire hissed
"I owe you for all the people you have killed!!!" They clashed again daggers making clanging sounds Mika noticed that the vampire was hurt 'that Ki blast hurt him that one from Ryouga' he swept a broad slash and the vampire dodged it then threw a black bolt of Ki at Mika. Mika crossed his daggers and was still thrown back all though most off the dark energy was absorbed.
	Ryouga punched the nearest vampire and it went down he got to where Ranma and Akane are and they formed a triangle protecting each other Ryouga formed a Ki blast and threw it at the nearest vampires
"SHI SHI HOUKODAN!" 
Ranma did the same 
"MOUKO TAKABISHA!"
But every time they threw them back they came back to them and they didn't tier while Ryouga felt his strength drain. Both Ranma and Ryouga sensed it again the portal they thought in horror Ranma pushed Akane out of the way and jumped out Ryouga jumped but a vampire came from nowhere and collided with him both falling into the black portal.
"NO!!!" Ranma yelled then he turned aside there he felt dread creeping up his spine there were only 7 Vampires left Mika was fighting with the lieutenant and it seemed that the others were healing there injuries then they came for him. He grabbed Akane and threw her into his now empty circle he went in with her and tied the rope to her waist.
"What are you doing Ranma!?" 
"Saving your life!" 
Ranma then jumped back out he had to stop them from attacking Mika he attacked this time he was thrown against the wall still near the circle where Akane was. He fell and then his hands found something, the stake that Mika had dropped 'yes' he thought the nearest Vampire reached him and he stabbed it in the heart all the vampire drew back he now had a weapon that he could use against them. Then another vampire shouted 
"Get him you fools!!" 
It was said in a way that promised great punishment if disobeyed Ranma held the stake now dripping Black blood down his hand from the Vampire he stabbed. 
"Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken!" 
He yelled stabbing the Vampires that came near him 100 times the vampire then fell to dust then a portal opened and the vampires he was facing vanished he wondered where they had gone then a portal opened under him he tried to jump but something snagged his leg and pulled him down. He fell but his hand caught the edge of the hole, he felt the vampires pulling him down he could feel their red eyes and their hunger for him. His hand slip and he felt someone grab him. Akane reached out of the circle she saw that they had all vanished and then the portal had opened on Ranma and he had fallen. Then she saw his hand she untied the rope and then tied it on her foot she jumped and out of the circle and grabbed Ranma's hand. Ranma looked up it was Akane! She was holding him he could see the strain on her face to keep him from falling, he was still being dragged down by the Vampires and Akanes strength was no match for theirs.
Mika still was fighting the lieutenant they clashed daggers slicing the air as they fought lightning flashed from their blades as they met. He saw Ranma do his technique and cut down the vampires that got to close but the lieutenant was keeping him from helping Ranma he also was getting frustrated but he noticed that the Vampire was equally frustrated.
"Damn you all the way to hell Mika!"
"I'm going to send you there myself vampire!"
Mika knew better then to try and out last this vampire, vampires never tire he must do something. 
	Akane couldn't hold onto Ranma they were dragging him down but she wouldn't let go, Ranma noticed that Akane wasn't going to let go and was going to be dragged down with him and most likely killed.
"Akane you  let go of me!"
"No!"
"You must or we'll both get dragged down"
"Would you let go!"
Ranma didn't answer he didn't have to, there was a creaking sound then he realised what it was 'the ceiling! It was connected to the rope, which was connected to Akane which was also the only thing keeping Akane from falling with him in to the pit. He must make her let go, Akane felt Ranma's hand start to warm then get hot she looked Ranma was heating his hand with Ki to make her let go but she can't! 
"Ranma stop!"
"Let me go I don't want you to die!"
"I won't or you'll die!"
"you don't know that!"
Ranmas hand got unbearable hot as it charged with more Ki Akane felt like she her hand being burned the rope that was holding her from falling she felt start to give. Suddenly she let go at the same time the rope gave and the ceiling attached to the rope broke forming a hole yet she didn't fall into the pit she looked around there was Genma Saotome holding the rope with both hands to keep her from falling into the pit like Ranma just did. 
"AKANE!!!!!"
"RANMA NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 
Mika turned his head it was the opening the vampire was waiting for it slashed him in a side ways motion to cut his skull in two but he turned and jumped back so instead it cut him across his forehead 
"ARGHHHH"
Mika shouted clutching his face 
"You lose hunter" 
The lieutenant swung its dagger again and was amazed that it was stopped by Mika 
"I'll never die by the likes of you!!!!!" 
Mika yelled and stabbed his other dagger in the surprised vampire chest but it missed the heart because of the blood blinding Mika's eyes yet it was enough to hurt the vampire substantially. The lieutenant fell back then shouted
"This is not over Mika! Come to fight me and get your friends back if you dare you know where"
Then a portal opened then vanished.

Mika walked slowly Nabiki Kasumi and Soun came out of their circles Genma stood stonily next to Soun a few tears evident on his face since he had lost his son. Akane sat at Ranma's circle edge crying hysterically.
"Hey Mika come here quickly"
Kasumi said to him He ran over and there lay Ukyo the girl who had given him the directions to the Tendo household she had a lot of blood on her shoulder where the vampire bit her. He went to her side and felt for a pulse it was there weak it could give out at any moment she had lost a lot of blood.
"Oh shit Quick Kasumi call an ambulance and a doctor hurry!"
Mika said to Kasumi 
"Wait sis I'll handle this" 
Nabiki said because she knew that she was going to call Dr Tofu and they didn't want him to be a blithering idiot when he got here. Mika wiped the blood from his face he had a shallow cut and his sight was bloody but he had worse.  He touched her neck and concentrated healing the wound and causing the cells to regrow. He collapsed from her, her neck healed. 
"What did you do?" 
Kasumi asked
"I encouraged her body cells to regrow healing the puncture but she still needs more blood that's why were taking her to hospital but she stable for now.
Mika replied
Kasumi nodded and went

"Okay thanks Dr Tofu, okay the ambulance and Dr Tofu are on their way they should be here soon." Nabiki said to Mika who looked a bit pale, she looked at his face blood from his wound was still running down dropping from his chin but he didn't seem to care as it started to clot she threw him a towel which he nodded and cleaned his cut.  The First to arrive was Dr Tofu he rushed in and went straight to Ukyo.
"Wow someone really hurt her it's amazing that she's still alive."  Dr Tofu said
"I healed most of the wound but she will still need more blood In her " Mika said as he Dr Tofu hit a few points on her chest.
"What have you done?" 
Asked Mika.
"I've increased the production of blood she should be fine as long as the ambulance get here soon" Dr Tofu replied 
The ambulance arrived 3 minutes later they put Ukyo on a stretcher and took Mika as well with them to have a look at his cut to Nerima general hospital
 
Kasumi was comforting Akane who was still crying and shouting, "Why did he make me let go Why" in the end Dr Tofu hit her sleep spot to give some rest.
"HOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHO oh Ranma-sama" They heard out side
"Oh great that's all we need" Nabiki murmured 
"HOHOHOHOHO where are you Ranma-sama?" said Kodatchi coming into the Tendo house hold
She looked now aware of the damage noting in her mind that a battle had just taken place and from the damage a big battle.
"You the vile Nabiki Tendo were is my Ranma-sama!" 
"Well I guess it looks like he's not here is he Kodatchi maybe he heard you coming and ran." 
"Liar" shrieks Kodatchi "My Ranma-sama would never leave without me." 
"Hmm Great Grandmother look great battle take place here."
"Hmmso it seems." 
Cologne and Shampoo arrived
"Where airen?" Shampoo asked Nabiki
"It seems that son in law was taken just like Mousse great grand daughter"
"Aiyah is this true sneaky girl" 
Nabiki winced 'hmm Mousse, Ryouga, Ranma and Kuno they have them all'
"Listen there is one person who can explain a lot more then I can and he's at the hospital I suggest that we all go over there and ask him all the questions you want okay."
They all Murmured in agreement and so they all set off for the hospital.
In the Hospital they all sat down in the waiting room and Dr Tofu went to find out the condition of Mika and Ukyo.
"Hmm Vampires in Nerima who would have known." Said Kodatchi
"Well what did you think they were?" Nabiki asked
"I thought they were sent by the red haired harlot to keep me from my Ranma-sama and it seems like I am correct she took all the strong males all for herself to fulfil her vile ambitions to do what she will with them oh my poor Ranma-sama with that harlot trapped to do her bidding by creatures of the undead."
Everyone just looked at her ramble they shook their heads and continued to muse it was amazing they explained to Kodatchi what they knew that the vampires wanted them for their powers yet she continued to believe that it was Ranmas female side that was causing all this.  
Dr Tofu came in 
"Well there's good news Ukyo will be fine they gave her a transfusion and she should be fine. Mikas cut was checked and its fine hes with Ukyo now. They are allowing us to go and talk with him and see Ukyo but only a few not all of us."
 So they picked Cologne Kodatchi though she wasn't what they wanted to go Akane Shampoo and Dr Tofu. They wandered into Ukyos room and saw him looking out of the window into the night he seemed to be thinking very hard about something he also had his cut bandaged.
"Mika?" Asked Akane
"hmmm ah  are you okay now?" Mika replied
Akane's eyes were red and a bit swollen but otherwise she looked okay.
"Well is there something you all wanted to ask me?" He said to no one in particular
"Are you a vampire hunter Mika" Cologne asked. 
"Yes  you're the one from the restaurant aren't you the cat cafi wasn't it who was taken from you."
"His name was Mousse hidden weapons martial artist."
"Yes guy in white robes. Look I'll be direct there's a question I'm sure you all want to ask but aren't sure if you want to know the answer." Mika said to them and smiled.
"Can we release Ranma-sama from the clutches of that harlot in pigtails?" Kodatchi asked 
Mika just looked at her as if she was crazy and decided she was 
"Eh?... What's your name?"
"My name is Kodatchi Kuno the Black rose"
"Kuno oh the sister to Tatewaki Kuno" He wondered who was the harlot in pigtails and decided he shouldn't ask her it might be a bit more than he wanted to know.
"Well let me tell you what I think you all want to ask. You all want to journey into the Vampires den to get back your loved ones who are almost assuredly being changed into vampires as we speak right?"
A few nodded
"We need to get them and for that we need you we heard that vampire you were fighting say for you to come and challenge him so you must know the way there. You came to us to protect us you failed and now they are captured!"  Akane yelled and stared accusingly at Mika
"Well if you had did as you were told and staid in the circle Ryouga and Ranma wouldn't be captured by no you had to go and prove how big you are and run into a battle you knew nothing of how to fight in!! I told you what would happen should any of you come out of the circles!!" Mika yelled back at her
"You want now to go into a place which will surely lead to our death if you're lucky don't forget now they have Ranma, Mousse, Ryouga and Kuno's skill to aid them in battle. Not only that but just ten vampires defeated us now you want to go and fight almost 300 vampires on their turf your mad we'll be dead the instant they detect us." Mika said to them all
"We must try we are all willing to go and get them we will find there lair and kill them to get them back even if it means our lives." Akane said, 
"Okay who wants to go?" Mika asked the anger held in his voice
Shampoo, Kodatchi, Cologne, Dr Tofu and Akane all raised their hands. Mika looked at them 
"You 5 against 300 hundred huh they won't even bother to fight you they'll simple send some lower class vampires after you to kill you. Either that or convert you"
"Why don't you want to come with us Mika you are theirs and ours only hope please help us." Akane asked once more
"Come Mika Shampoo will go to get airen even if means death." 
"I the Black rose shall go to the ends of the Earth to find my Ranma-sama"
"This would be fascinating and you'd need a Dr to go with you." 
" I have lived along time and I have to ask my self would Ranma come for us if we were in his situation and I always come up with the answer yes so I shall go as well besides my skill will aide you." 
Mika looked at them all 
"All right I'll come I am a Vampire hunter I must go besides without me you are almost assuredly dead only with me do you have a chance but this most likely will lead to our deaths."
Ukyo awoke 
"You're are not leaving without me any of you" 
Mika looked again at her and threw up his hands to the air 
"This is insane you're an injured person to come with us who you may refer to as dead men is shear stupidity."
"An extra pair of hands will be need won't it also I must come Ryouga saved my life I was going to die I felt it and he saved me I will not abandon him. I will be fine the Docs say that by tomorrow I can go home."
"oh man" Moaned Mika his head on his hands "okay you can come even though as I said we all may consider ourselves as dead you saw what they could do none of us I think will be coming out of this, Akane see if anyone else will come with us but let them know what they are getting themselves into before they agree remember the smaller the number the less likely we will be detected. Okay I'll meet you at the Tendo dojo at around 12"
Mika then walked out 
They all looked around and decided to go back to the dojo
"Look I suggest we all stay here there's enough room and we can think of who else will come agreed?"
They all agreed except Dr Tofu who said that he had to go back to the clinic and research about what will kill and cure vampires.
"Oh my I'd better get some more Futons and Blankets out then since we'll be having guests." Kasumi said 

Ranma didn't know where he was it was dark and he was chained to a wall they hadn't bitten him yet and he heard someone next to him he called out.
"Who's there"
"Vile sorcerer I see your minions have over thrown you and are keeping you here too!"
Ranma groaned 
"shudup Kuno"
"Both of you shuddup." Said another voice
"Ryouga you okay" Ranma said
"Ranma I just fell into a deep hole knocked unconscious and chained to a wall and who knows what those vampires could have done to Akane you saw what they did to Ukyo"
"Shampoo" said someone else moaned in next to Ranma
"Mousse see they got you too" Ranma said
"No Ranma I'm here for my health" replied Mousse sarcastically
"Ranma how'd the battle go?" Ryouga asked
"Honestly we'll of course I kicked ass knocking them down but every time I did that one just came back Mika was fighting there leader and Akane..." Ranma trailed off
"You let yourself get captured and left Akane all alone with those Vampires and you call yourself her fiancie" Ryouga shouted
"Shut the hell up P-Chan you were caught first!" Ranma shouted back
Ryouga forced himself to calm down
"Did they kill her?" He asked coldly
"No ya see she was holding me I made her let go otherwise she would have fell in I'm jus wondering how she is that's all." Ranma mumbled off at the end
No one said anything for a while Kuno did keep mumbling about Akane and his pig-tailed girl and about sorcerers.

The night passed without incident apart for a few nightmares Akane was the worst affected she kept blaming herself for what happened to Ranma. At 12 o'clock Mika and Ukyo came to the dojo. 
"Okay any one else coming?" Mika asked
"We asked if Uncle Saotome and Father wanted to come but they replied that with all the other Martial artists gone someone should stay to protect my sisters." Akane replied.
Mika nodded
"Mika"
"Hmm" 
"What is it?"
"I've been thinking about this all and we haven't got a chance either way we need other hunters or slayers but they can't come to Japan because of the vampires they have us surrounded its strange they left some countries all together and gathered here."
"So we just give up," Akane shouted in exasperation
"No but we can't try to go after the vampires now as we are they'd cut us down in a few seconds no we need to think of something else" Mika said
"How do they turn them into vampires" Akane asked wishing she really didn't want to know
Mika hesitated
"Okay I'll tell you, to become a vampire the strongest vampires are formed by really wanting to become a vampire otherwise a lot of their strength won't go to the collective."
"What is this collective?" Ukyo asked 
"All the vampires strength are kept in a collective think of it as putting all you power in a room all your knowledge and skill okay?  Now that strength is what gives the vampires strength they increase this strength by feeding."
"So you mean all the vampires will get Ranmas strength if he gets turned into a vampire?"
"No not exactly its like copying that technique and if another vampire has drank enough blood they can copy that skill but only the high ranking vampires can do this because it takes a lot of killing to copy such techniques as Ranma and Ryouga."
"Wait I don't understand repeat it" Akane said
"Okay lemme think. Take Kunos strike technique okay that technique is stored in his mind like a drawing okay? Now if a vampire has drunk enough blood they can trace that drawing see? Vampires that are low class haven't killed enough to trace such techniques so fight to kill and get that energy. Then there are solider class vampires they can trace some techniques so say a few blasts and are extremely good at fighting. Then you get the lieutenants very few of these are left in this world they can trace pretty much all of the techniques. Then there's the leader and pray shes not there or we haven't a snowballs chance in hells of getting out of this alive."
"She?" Asked Nabiki
"Yes the Queen of the dammed the killer of thousands believe me she could kill us before we stepped through her grounds but I don't think shes there"
"I think I understand" Akane said 
"Good by adding Ranma Ryouga Mousse and Kunos techniques the stronger vampires can copy and blend their techniques lower vampires can copy their agility or strength. But like I said they must entice Ranma and the others otherwise some techniques could be blocked from their minds and that defeats the purpose. Once enticed he will be bitten his blood shall be all drained exempt enough to keep him conscious then he will have to drink their blood then after a few minutes he'll emerge a vampire."
"How they entice Ranma" Shampoo asked 
Mika shrugged 
"Sexual fantasies? Power? Wealth? They use their mind powers like telepathy to search through Ranmas brain then if they think they have the answer to get him to join willingly then that's it."
"How do you cure a vampire?" Akane asked
Mika had a hard look
"There's no way exempt by killing them and releasing their soul and their techniques from them."
They all looked shocked
"What about holy water and garlic?" Ukyo asked
Mika looked at her
"This is not some stupid movie where throwing some water or showing vampires garlic or a cross will kill them or drive them away."
"hey what about Ranma curse if you throw cold water on him he turns into a girl would she be affected and be a vampire?" Akane said getting excited
Mika looked at her 
"Jusenkyo?" 
"Akane nodded
"The shock to his system would be too great and I doubt it would change a thing the curse may change forms but the essence of what they are would be the same" Mika replied
"There must be a way" Akane said, 
"There has to be!" Akane stared at Mika 
"You know something that will cure them and won't tell us Why!! Tell US!!" Akane advanced on Mika
Mika gave her a look of contempt
"You think you can cure them! Hah! There is a way and its more dangerous then you could imagine. Firstly the person has to want to be changed and believe me they won't their minds will be filled will thoughts of blood and never ending hunger they won't want to be turned back . Then a spell must be cast on them to force them to regain their humanity and banish the evil blood. But I know no spells and the more they feed on blood the less likely it is that they can change back. The only one who did was killed 400 years ago because he knew how" 
 "Well Shampoo can convince Ranma he needs to change because He love Shampoo so once find out truth about self he change." Shampoo said
"Shut up you Chinese Bimbo Ranma only loves me!" Sid Ukyo
"Hah you commoners have no place in my loves heart I the great Kuno Kodatchi am Ranmas only love." Said Kodatchi 
Akane stayed silent throughout it all contemplating it seemed to Mika
"Shut the hell up all of you!" Mika shouted "It doesn't matter how many of you love Ranma he won't remember any of it"
"Why won't he remember?" Akane asked
"They would block his mind with telepathic links so he may have a slight recollection but no more then that and he won't be the person you remember. No do you understand who here knows any spells that can change them back to human" Mika replied
No one replied 
"My point." Mika said smugly
"No first thing first get them back then we can decide on how to find the spell" Akane said
"Well at least your priorities are straight." Mika replied then sighed "Well lets get ready to go"
"Wait were will they be?" Ukyo asked
"On a private island used by the vampires in Japan to hold meetings and meet with their leader about 80 miles east of Japan but we have to get there before they change them or I don't know where they'll be." Replied Mika
"So call me crazy but how exactly are we going to get there" Ukyo said throwing her hands in the air Mika unfurled a map
"The Slayers in Japan have a boat that we'll use well take I to the island"
Ukyo looked at the map and shook her head "they'll see us coming if we go by boat"
"Well we can't hire a plane and drop with parachutes can we!" Mika shot back Ukyo thought for a moment
"Why not"
"Eh?" Mika stared at her 
"Give me the map" She traced a line "See here we can parachute in and they won't have heard us come if we are high enough"
"When we parachute down they will see us "
"No look from here about 2miles away from their strong hold if we land their they won't have seen us and we can trek the rest of the way."
"Then what walk up to their front door and ask them to give back our friends!!"  
Ukyo shrugged "cross that bridge when we come to it but we have to be there in order to do that well we have a way" 
Mika thought for a moment
"We'll need money" Nabiki flinched at this "I have a friend who'll fly us but still we need to pay for the parachutes."
"Wait how will we get back" Cologne asked Mika 
"hmmmm not a problem a few vampires would have gotten their by boat or plane I can drive us back. Well now that that's all sorted out I'll make the calls necessary You try to find someone who knows about spells " Mika then walked to the phone and started to talk
Akane looked to everyone
"Who do we know that knows about spells" They thought for a few seconds before yelling out
"Gosunkugi!!"

Gosunkugi had been having a rough day he had went to an old magic shop which guaranteed a potion which would make all women fall in love with you. So he had drank it and promptly fell sick for two days because of food poisoning then when he finally got better he found the girls still treated him with disdain. He sighed not only that but he felt something nagging him in the back of his head but couldn't figure out what it is. Gosunkugi then sat up and rummaged through a bookshelf of so called magic books, which had never worked for him. He glared at all the books 'junk all of it never working all he wanted was Akane to love him but this was denied him how he always wasted his time and money collecting all this for nothing.' Gosunkugi got angrier and angrier 'why why did it never work for him' His hand reached a talisman he had bought that had cost him most of his money supposed to give visions he thought he could spy on Akane with it but it had never worked. He figured the silver moon figure and gold base. Suddenly he saw Ranma chained to a wall and evil all around him. Gosunkugi dropped the talisman his hands shaking. ' What was that..' he thought 'Can it be this works' Gosunkugi started felling the talisman but again noting happened. 'huh why doesn't it work!!'  Suddenly his mother called him "Hikaru some people are here to see you" 'Who could that be?" He put the talisman around his neck in case he got another vision and went down.

After getting Mika off the phone they told him about Gosunkugi but not until he told them that two other hunters like himself survived the vampires but went into hiding but now are coming to help them They would meet them when they went to the airport where it was all set up they would fly to the island and parachute off the plane Nabiki gave them the money at a promise that they had better repay her. However Mika was sceptical about Gosunkugi
"You said he has never done any magic before what makes you think he could cast a spell to reverse the vampires back to human form?" 
Akane answered 
"He may not have done any magic but he may have a spell which can then maybe one of us can cast it"
Mika continued to be sceptical but continued to go to Gosunkugi's house with Akane and Cologne the rest stayed at the Tendo dojo to await their return

 Gosunkugi went to his front door and saw his goddess 'Akane! Ahh shes come to me finally she has left Ranma and...who's that?' Gosunkugi noticed the person behind her he was taller then Akane and wore black and had a bandoleer and Gosunkugi noticed two daggers on his hips. Gosunkugi swallowed he looked down and noticed the owner of the Cat Cafi 'what was her name Cologne?' "ummm so ahhh why are you ahh here?" Gosunkugi asked Akane spoke first can we come in this may take a few minutes. 

Few minutes later after Mika, Cologne and Akane explained 

Gosunkugi felt numb here Akane was asking him for help and he didn't know what to say 'how could he accept he had no idea what to do but how could he refuse?' "So.....So......" Gosunkugi said unsure of how to finish. 
"look its simple have you got a spell that could work and can you perform it?" Mika said irritated
"We'll... maybe I have it but perform it...." Gosunkugi sat down "I love magic but it has never worked for me no matter how hard I try"
"Well show us the spell."
Gosunkugi got up and went to his bookshelf and pulled a thick book.
"This book is called the grimoir or so it was called by the person I bought it from it is said to contain all the great spells."
Gosunkugi opened it and flipped through it 
"Here it is nosferatu reversal... yikes complicated."  
"Can you do it?" Cologne asked.
"Perform it yes will it work? Hell I don't know for all I know this could be another failure." Gosunkugi sighed he hated his weaknesses worse the look of disappointment on Akane face he thought his heart would crack.
"Well this is great" Mika said
"Wait" Cologne replied "I know a little about magic to know that Gosunkugi does have some potential if I help him maybe we can do the spell." Gosunkugis hand went to his Talisman he felt its cool silver on him and the gold he felt it on his bare skin and suddenly felt it get hot.
"What the.." Mika said as he saw Gosunkugi get enveloped in a white light.

Gosunkugi looked around and saw a golden figure by his side
"Hello" the figure said to him "What brings you to this plane ahh you have my talisman"
Gosunkugi felt the talisman 
"What happened?" Gosunkugi asked
"You activated it and it took your spirit to my plane of existence the astral plane" The figure went forward "You mind?" Gosunkugi shook his head the figure touched his head 
"Interesting"
"What"
"You have the power but not the skill tell me what would you like the power for?"
"To help Akane" Gosunkugi said instantly
The figure looked to the golden clouds that swilled and swirled around them
"I can teach you but it will take time I have seen your cause it is just I shall help you."
Gosunkugi shook his head 
"I can't learn I am never good at magic"
"Well you will learn."
"Wait who are you?" 
The figure answered 
"I was once one of the great magicians of my time I have seen you to have two of my artefacts seek the third and magic shall be yours. Seek it at the vampire fortress you will no it when you see it for now only a bit of your power it accessible." 
"But what's your name.." Gosunkugi said as he felt him self slipping away he saw the figure smile
"Merlin" And Gosunkugi awoke.  
   
Mika saw the glow fade in about a few seconds after it had formed and he saw Gosunkugi cry out. Cologne went to him and checked him. Gosunkugi shrugged it off and went to the grimoir touching it.
"I can help you but I need to come with you to the vampires fort." Gosunkugi said after a few minutes silence. Mika shook his head
 "You would not stand a chance what will you do when a hungry vampire comes at you." 
Gosunkugi didn't answer he felt the power coursing through him how could he not feel it and Merlin said when he retrieved the third artefact all his power would be released Merlin the Merlin! He couldn't believe it but what was the third artefact. Finally he answered.
"Like this" He summoned his power and it enveloped him again in a white light when the light cleared There was silence Akane turned away Cologne kept looking Mika spoke first 
"You'll attack them by making them naked?"
Akane laughed and Gosunkugi looked at himself blushing he turned away
"Ah small mistake give me a sec I'll get it" Once again he was bathed in white light but this time he wore blue robes 
"Well if you get a second chance I'm sure blue robes will scare all those fashion conscious vampires" Mika said dryly
Gosunkugi made a fireball in his hand
"Would this work?"
Mika smiled 
"Yes that will but how many times could you do it?"
"I don't know these powers are new to me." 
"Well if you can do the spell to reverse the vampires then lets go."
Before they left Cologne went up to Gosunkugi
"Been a while since boys have stripped for me let's do it again sometime." 
Gosunkugi shuddered and Cologne laughed

Ranma tried to think how long he had been chain but he couldn't count it could have been hours it felt like days. They all had stopped talking as they contemplated what to do next Ranma felt despair Akane, Ukyo are they okay? What about his Nabiki and Kasumi what happened? Are they coming to save us? Ranma chuckled the great Ranma Saotome needing rescue. 
"Ranma?" Ryouga said
"Yeah?" He replied
"Any ideas?" 
Ranma sighed they had tried pulling on the ropes but even with Ryouga prodigious strength they hadn't been able to pull the chains loose from the wall. 
"Stay alive long enough not to be turned into a vampire and wait for the cavalry to arrive." Ranma replied
Ryouga snorted 
"What is it P-Chan?"
"You expect Akane Ukyo and the hunter and maybe a few more to come in and save us they may not even know where we are and it may be to late by then." 
Ranma glowered at Ryouga 
"Don't be so pessimistic"    
"I'm realistic" 
"What about Ki blasts maybe we can break the walls."
"Lets try"
Ryouga gathered his Ki as did Ranma When suddenly the chains crackled with energy and they cried out as the dark electricity ran through them.
"I wouldn't try that again. These chains are designed to increase in electricity when Ki is gathered" Mousse Kuno also looked up there was the Vampire lieutenant. Ryouga growled and pulled at the chains.
"That's no use these chains counter all strength by magic once on only a person with the key can open them." Two other vampires came in 
"Take Kuno his time is now"
Kuno struggled as they came near but they grabbed his arms and one hit him on the back of his head knocking him out.
Ranma felt fear in his heart for the kendoist as he was dragged away
They all looked as he went the lieutenant smiled cruelly
"Don't worry you'll be next."
Ranma felt his fear become over powering at that and he saw that the others weren't much better then him. 

Kuno awoke he was lying in a large double bed he looked and there was the vampire lieutenant 
"What dost though want of me heathren!" Kuno said as he tried to sit up looking around for any chance of escape.
"I only want to be your friend Tatewaki I can see the pain in your heart every time you look at Ranko and Akane Tendo such sadness." 
"You try to trick me though canst go against the mighty Kuno brain though wants the very lifeblood in my veins." 
"Not true my friend I only want to help you." Kuno looked into the lieutenant's eyes and saw compassion and help there 
"Though canst deceive me." Kuno mumbled 
"My friend you have suffered much your mother the beatings the insanity I can help I want to help."
Tears came unbidden as Kuno remembered his mother and the savage beatings he and Kodatchi suffered before she took her own life saying it was because of her children that she did then came the guilt and his fathers insanity.
"How could you help the past can't be changed." Kuno said tears rolling down his cheeks as he felt his guilt and suffering come back to his mind his heart felt hollow 
"I can make the pain go away you will never feel it again." Kuno felt the pain all of it as fresh as it was on that dark day looking into the vampire's eyes he said
"Make the pain go away. Please"
The vampire smiled and went near Kuno and bit his neck piercing his jugular vein and drinking the blood like a fine wine Kuno felt a brief pain and then felt it all flow away as if he were free of it all no guilt no hatred he had forgotten how it had felt. He felt something wet flowing into his mouth he licked it, it tasted tinny and felt dark and sweet with promises. 
"Take it and be free." Came a voice like his mothers
He drank it down feeling it go down into his stomach strangely the more he drank the more he wanted suddenly he felt a shearing pain lance through him as if his very nerves were on fire he felt the darkness across his vision the pain it was indescribable as it went to his brain and colours exploded in front of his eyes. He cried out in pain clutching at his stomach he felt the pain suddenly explode through his body coursing through his veins. It went as suddenly as it came and Kuno started to laugh, it was a laugh worse then Kodatchi's his voice laughs through the stones of the castle his eyes dark and full of malice he felt his fangs slide down his mouth and over his lips.  
"Here" The lieutenant said throwing in a girl about 17 enjoy yourself for a while Kuno, Kuno smiled showing his fangs. The girl backed away trying to escape but there was none. After a while kuno exited the room one thought in his mind 'theres no pain'

Mika stood with Cologne, Shampoo, Akane, Dr Tofu, Ukyo and Gosunkugi 
"Here they come." Mika said The other didn't reply
A car pulled up it was a Toyota Space cruiser sleek black with tinted windows two people came out they were dressed similar to Mika but one was taller about 23 and was more muscular yet moved with a grace that defined all Martial artist. The second was a girl about 20 she had a sword strapped to her back and had two bandoleers crossing over her chest she also had the look of a worrier on her. Mika stood 
"may I introduce Clare" He pointed at the girl the girl smiled at them 
"And Reg" He pointed to the Tall man behind Clare, Reg waved briefly to them 
"Okay everyone we know what we are doing and how but for those who don't know or have forgotten this is it. We are going to try and rescue Ranma Ryouga Mousse and Kuno. Once we have them unconscious we will try to get them back to Nerima and do the spell which will reverse them back to human form. If we can't however they must be killed." This created shock from the other and they started to protest.
"Listen we haven't got a choice with all four of them as vampires the world may be delivered into the vampires hands and the past shall come back to haunt us." Every thing was quiet again. 
"Now we have a plane booked to fly us there in about 3 hours time it. I have gone over with my colleagues the plan and we'll have to land about 50 miles away from the vampire stronghold because we won't only have to worry about vampires and the vampires will be still entering the stronghold and there will be sentries so we will have to find a weak spot. Now let me say this no one has entered the keep and lived okay? If we enter it we may not come out alive are you sure you want to do this?" Every one nodded 
"Okay well lets get going then." Mika sighed 
"Okay all of you in the vehicle I drive my bike and meet you at the airport." Mika jumped on his bike and watched them all enter the Toyota. Mika revved his bike and went off the car trailing him.

Reg was driving the car and Clare turned around and started to chat with them 
"So I've been filled in with what Mika said so I wanna ask what are the people we're gonna rescue to you lot." Clare asked Shampoo answered firstly
"Shampoo Ranma fiancie most beutifullest fiancie and best cook fiancie Mousse just from Shampoo village, Lost boy Shampoo no care much about but on occasion is friend Stick boy is a royal pain to Ranma but since he there Shampoo save." Ukyo Akane and Kodatchi glowered at Shampoo but didn't say anything. Ukyo spoke next
"Well I'm Ranma cute fiancie and a much better cook then some Chinese bimbos. Ryouga is a friend and saved me so I'm gonna save him Kuno again is a pain but shouldn't be left to vampires and Mousse is the same as Kuno." Shampoo was about to remark on the bimbo part but Akane jumped in next.
"Ryouga is a friend to me and Mousse can sometimes be a friend Kuno has always been an idiot but shouldn't be left to the vampires and Ranma well....is sort of my .....fiancie but it was decided by our parents." She added quickly Clare nodded a smile on her face next came Kodacthi
"HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO I am Ranmas true fiancie and will rescue him from the pig tailed harlot so he can shower me with gratitude, Tatewaki is my Brother so I suppose I should rescue him but Ryouga and Mousse are nothing to me HOHOHOHOHOHOHO." 
Clare looked at her strangely 'Ranmas got four fiancies????' 
"oookkkkayyy so what about you three?" She said pointing to Cologne and Dr Tofu and Gosunkugi
Cologne answered next
"I am shampoos great grandmother and great grandmother in law to Ranma" Next came Dr Tofu
"We'll a Dr might be needed and I can help fight Ranma is a friend to me as is Mousse and Ryouga so I am going to help them as well as Kuno." Gosunkugi sat silently his hands upon the grimoir and thinking before answering
"I will find the last artefact to completely gain access to my power and I am the only on who can turn them back to humans. Gosunkugi suddenly had a vision by the talisman he saw Kuno being bitten and drinking the blood of the lieutenant. 
"Oh no" He said 
"What" said everyone
"Kunos been changed into a vampire."
"How do you know" Asked Ukyo
"I saw it this talisman" He showed it had a silver crescent moon on a golden cloud "gives me visions and I saw Kuno change" he shuddered 
Kodatchi looked down as if in deep thought her mind reeling.
"Great" said Clare just what we need "We'll at least we know when there changing will that talisman tell us if the others change?"
"No its not that specific it chooses what to show me and was worn by a great Magician." 
The Atmosphere turned sombre then as they thought what else could be happening to Ranma Ryouga and Mousse. 

Ranma leaned against the wall the chains chaffing his wrists he had tried pulling at the chains but he still couldn't break them.
"I wonder what happened to Kuno" Mousse said quietly 
"What do you think?" Ryouga said back "They drank his blood and turned him into one of them their gonna do it to all of us." 
"We've got to be strong."
"STRONG!!!!" Ryouga yelled "You saw how strong they are there just gonna walk in here and take us one by one."
They all fell silent
"Poor Kuno even he didn't deserve that." 
"Oh I don't know" They looked up there was the lieutenant again
"What did you do to him!" Raged Ranma struggling against his chains 
"The same thing as I will do to you Ranma but first..." Two more vampires entered the room
"Take the blind fool he's next." Mousse yelled and tried to break free all types of utensils fell from his sleeves the two vampires came they grabbed his arms and hit him on the back of his head as they did to Kuno knocking him out. They then unchained him and pulled him away. The lieutenant smiled to Ranma and Ryouga 
"oh don't worry your turn will come oh by the way Kuno is just sleeping off his meal but you'll see him again don't worry about him HaHaHaHaHaHa." The lieutenant laughing as he left them
Ranma shuddered now there were 2 

Mousse came to in a room similar to Kuno it had white walls and he was sitting on a bed with red satin sheets he pulled his glasses on and saw the lieutenant smiling at him Mousse jumped as far back as possible his back against the wall  
"Stay away from me" Mousse said
"Now Mousse I mean you no harm all I want to do is help you, to make you see to take away your blindness."
Mousse was shocked
"You can do that?" 
"I could and would" Mousse looked into the vampires reddish brown eyes and saw truth there
"I'll make it so you'll never be trodden on again Mousse non-in your village will ever tread on you again you'll have the power to show them your better then them." 
Mousse remembered how in the village he was ridiculed thrown in the dirt he felt his anger rise how just because he was short sighted no one thought he was worthy of anything how even if he did win Shampoos hand he knew cologne would find some way to keep her from him. His anger kept on rising and rising it was irrational everything that had ever happened to make him angry flashed in his mind, How shampoo kept fawning and throwing herself all over Ranma and never over him and why? Because of some stupid Amazon tradition. His anger became a rage and madness.
"Give me the power." Mousse shouted at the vampire
The vampire jumped to him and punctured his neck drinking his blood he felt Mousses strength enters him his blood sweet and soothing his hunger ebbing. Mousse felt himself get weaker but his anger stayed on the vampire bit his wrist and placed it over Mousses mouth. Mousse licked the wrist and started to drink great gulps of the blood felling it run through his system flowing through him he felt his stomach cramp and pain fly through his system he felt his sense heighten and his vision no longer blurred he felt his hearing rise sharply but the pain Mousse screamed aloud as the pain reached a peak and he fell limp. His eyes snapped open fangs sliding down his lips his skin became as white as ivory and he felt a deep hunger in him. The lieutenant smiled and opened the door this time another vampire came in her hair snow white and eyes a deep blue Mousse felt his hunger rise and heard the lieutenant leave. Mousse leapt forward and bit her wrists drinking her blood. She pulled Mousse up and bit on his wrists leading him to the bed.
After an hour Mousse stood up and stretched he felt invincible and he knew no one would look down on him again or he would make them pay.

Mika waited at the airport he sat at a cafi bar while he waited for the others he had long since left them on the motor way he decided to wait for them while drinking a cappuccino and ordered lunch he hadn't had much to eat and if he was going to die on that island at least he'd die with a full stomach.  He finished just as they all came in 
"Well?" Said Akane
"Okay this is what were gonna do this heres a private airport so security won't stop us carrying our weapons since were a private company okay? anybody else hungry?" 
They all shook their heads 
"Well okay lets get suited up we leave in one hour Clare will show you girls how to put on your parachutes pay special attention because we will be falling at 1000ft and if your parachute doesn't work you won't have to worry about facing the vampires." Mika got up well lets go Gosunkugi was about to answer when he had another vision he saw Mousse changing into a vampire. He stopped
"Mika Mousse and Kuno are now vampires" He said sadly Mika sighed 
"I knew that they would be changing them into vampires Gosunkugi thanks for telling me though. Come on, Dr Tofu, Reg lets get changed." 
They followed him leaving the girls alone
"Well lets go" Clare said
They followed her to the girls changing room

Mika waited at the Plane 'What's taking them so long?' he thought Gosunkugi was struggling under the weight of the parachute and was holding tightly to the grimoir Dr Tofu looked excited at parachuting and Reg just looked on patiently.
'Finally' he thought as the girls appeared
"What was taking you so long?" He asked Clare
"Small problem with Akanes parachute she couldn't fit it on right but its okay now."
Mika shrugged 
"Okay everyone place your weapons in this box it will fall near us since we can't parachute holding our weapons." They nodded and everyone threw their weapons in noting that there was a lot of sheathed weapons in there Akane was going to ask why when Mika spoke again 
"Okay then lets go all!" He yelled as the plane started up
Everyone ran on and Mika came on last and closed the door and the plane took off
"We'll be jumping in about 1 hour okay? So if you have any question just say so? Firstly when we jump off the plane count to 30 then pull the rip cord you should all know were that is in case you don't Mika pointed to a cord near his chest if you can't pull this one try your back up cord he pointed to another cord. Okay now if you have any questions ask them"
Akane spoke first
"How long will it be before we reach the vampires lair?"
"Hopefully about 2-3 hours we have to move slowly there aren't just vampires on this sland." 
"How many vampires will there be on the island?"
Mika shrugged "Don't know maybe 200 or 300 but no more then that but that reminds me once we get on to the ground remind me to give you some new weapons the ones you have presently are useless against vampires."
There were no more questions they all seemed to be thinking. He sat opposite Ukyo and began to think '300 vampires' he thought bitterly 'they will go over us like a swarm hell only 50 would be needed to take us out. But then again you never know" He smiled at that last thought Ukyo looked at him
"Sooooo......how'ed you become a vampire slayer?"
"Hunter" He corrected Ukyo looked puzzled
"Theres a difference?"
"Yes a slayer is someone chosen by destiny they are always girls but a hunter chooses to be a hunter a stalker of vampires and killing them" 
"So were did you go to be a hunter sign up?" He said the quirks of a smile beginning at her lips
"You might say that." He replied smiling "It took me about 2 years training before I could hunt vampires though and those were two years of back braking labour."
"How do you train?"
"My sensei first trained me in basic martial arts then I trained with a lead sword and dagger."
"Eh? Lead?" 
"Lead was heavier so built up my arms and a normal sword felt much more lighter in my arms after using a lead sword for about 3 months. After this I was apprenticed to a vampire hunter who took care of me and taught me how to kill and track vampires." 
"What happened to him?" Ukyo asked
"Her" Mika said softly "She died she went up against a vampire that was too strong for her and was killed."
Ukyo felt she breached a sensitive topic and left it thinking about Ranma how he was strong now if he changed into a vampire who was going to defeat him? She shuddered. Mika? She looked at him he was good no doubt but Ranma good? She doubted it no one was as good as Ranma except She looked to Cologne maybe Cologne has a few tricks up her sleeve?  
Mika was thinking about the hunter he was apprenticed to 'Mariko I still haven't avenged you but I swear I will' He thought 'I will'

 Ranma was thinking he had no intention of being turned into a vampire he heard what Mika said 'the vampires could be close to unstoppable if they had his skills' he thought ' But how am I going to escape before they come for me or how'll I resist them?' He thought but could find no answers the chains still weren't breaking he tried another Ki blast but all that had succeeded was in him being unconscious for about 30 minutes. Ryouga looked down on the ground he hadn't spoken since Mousse was taken then Ranma had an idea
"Hey Ryouga?"
"Yeah what?"
"I've had an idea instead of pulling on the chains ram your hand into the wall using your breaking point technique that may be able to break the chains loose."
Ryouga thought about it
"I could do it....but Ranma for you the Bakusai Tenketsu might damage your back with the shards of rock."
"Ryouga either we somehow get out of here or were going to be like Kuno and Mousse we have no choice do it and fast the vampires might be coming back and will be alerted by the noise of the Bakusai Tenketsu"
Ryouga concentrated 
"Alright Bakusai Tenketsu!!!" Ryouga rammed his finger back into the rock Which shattered as he hit it he pulled on his chains which came out of the wall.
"Alright it worked come on hurry the vampires might be here any minute." Ranma shouted to Ryouga
Ryouga ran to Ranma
"Now this might hurt brace yourself" 
"Bakusai Tenketsu!!!" Ryouga rammed the rock behind Ranma, which shattered sending bits of rocks hurtling into Ranmas back and head. Ranma cried out, as the rocks lanced into his back like splinters
He pushed back the pain and pulled on his chains, which came loose.
"Come on lets go" Ryouga said lifting Ranma up
Ranma groaned feeling blood on his back he pushed the pain aside and ran to the door kicking it open
"Which way out?!" Ranma yelled
"How the hell should I know!" Ryouga yelled back 
"Lets go in this direction!" Ranma yelled running down a dark black corridor 
 Ryouga cursed and followed him making sure not to lose sight of him

The lieutenant was walking down a corridor when all of a sudden he felt the rock tremble
"Huh? What was that?"
He heard it again 
"That came from the prisoners Shit their escaping!"
He ran down the corridor only to collide with two people who were running opposite him
"Watch were your going!!" He shouted when he push the two off him when he felt something on his hand 'blood? Blood???!!'
"It's the prisoners!!" He yelled reaching for them Ranma looked up and saw the lieutenant so did Ryouga and he felt a stab of fear in his heart
"Bakusai Tenketsu!!" Ryouga yelled hitting the floor bits of Rock slamming into the lieutenant 
"Keep Running!!" Ranma yelled Ryouga needed no encouragement and ran on the lieutenant struggling with a piece of rock, which embedded itself in his chest. They ran for all they had when something slammed into Ranmas and Ryouga legs tripping them down.
Ryouga grunted and looked up 
"Mousse?" He said incredulously Mousse wore a shimmering dark robe his eyes dark red. He looked to Mousse side there was Kuno he also wore black his eye red and fangs showing at the bottom of his lips. 'Oh shit' He thought he looked to his side Ranma had also noticed them and was getting into a fighting stance. 
"We don't wanna hurt you guys just back off" Ranma said
They just smiled Ryouga wondered why and turned his head too late he saw a black club smash on his head spinning him and knocking him out 
Ranma looked and saw Ryouga go down the vampire held a dark club and was advancing on Ranma now
Ranma felt his blood soaking his shirt were the rocks had lanced into him he took a deep breath to steady himself and concentrated forming a sphere of Ki 
"Mouko Takabisha!" He yelled throwing his ki ball at Mousse. From Mousses sleeve a shield came out which blocked the Ki ball Ranma felt something grab his arm he looked down one of Mousses chain had latched onto him he realised and was suddenly pulled forward with enormous strength. He tried twisting in the air but he was going to fast. He felt something explode at the side of head and realised it was a punch he didn't know who threw it but his vision swam and he saw the three vampires close in on him. Something struck him at the side of his temple and Ranma fell to the cold floor his last sight was of the vampire lieutenant with bits of rock still sticking out of his chest and eyes red advancing on him then he fell mercifully unconscious.

"Okay everyone get ready to jump I'll jump with the weapons remember count to thirty then pull the rip cord!" Mika said getting up and opening the door. Dr Tofu looked out and swallowed they were really high up he held his breath and jumped out screaming 
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He yelled as he fell Mika looked out and saw him pull the ripcord and him floating down to the island.
Cologne went next she didn't saw anything but leapt out and pulled the parachute
Kodatchi went to the door and laughed maniacally as she jumped out. Shuddering Shampoo went to the door she also swallowed 'she was amazon she would not be afraid!' She held her breath and leapt out saying nothing but screaming in her mind. Clare came next she just leapt off yelling
"yahooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 
Ukyo smirked and readied herself jumping out of the plane screaming
"geronimo!!!!!!!" 
Gosunkugi came next still holding the grimior he leapt off screaming at the top of his lungs
Reg leapt next silent as always till Mika was the only one in the plane he pushed the chest near the door and threw it out holding on to it
He pulled the chest parachute and let go letting it glide gently to the ground he waited and pulled his parachute gliding softly o the island.

Dr tofu landed heavily his legs collapsing underneath him breathing heavily 'that was exhilarating!!' he thought 'I've got to do that again!!' Cologne landed near him and walked near him
"were the others?" she asked
'she sounds so calm' Dr tofu thought here we are on an island of blood sucking fiends and she's clam amazing' Shampoo wandered near to them pulling leaves from her hair from landing in a tree.
"Stupid trees" Shampoo said 
Akane came next stretching her muscles on her shoulders 
"When you pull the parachute it really drags you" She said 
Clare came next smiling widely
"I love that!!" She said almost yelling
Reg, Ukyo and Kodatchi came into view, Dr Tofu noticed Ukyo smiling like Clare 'she liked it to' He thought.
Gosunkugi came next paler then ever and shaking slightly but he was okay after a few minutes
Lastly came Mika dragging a chest with him
"Well don't just stand there! Help me this thing weighs a ton!" He exclaimed. They all rushed forward helping him pull the chest to the centre of the group Mika opened it
"Okay all here take these your normal weapons won't be of much use against a vampire you'll have to use these weapons choose for yourself which weapons you want." Mika said pulling a long-sword out in addition to his two daggers. 
They all rushed forward Cologne chose a baldric of daggers, which she put on. Shampoo came next pulling a short sword out and a quiver of arrows, which were silver tipped and a bow. Kodatchi came next saying 
"Stand aside plebeians I Kodatchi shall choose next." She looked at every weapon and finally chose another short sword, dagger and another bow and arrow. Reg walked forward and choose a double bladed axe with silver edges as well as a dagger. Ukyo came nervously up she didn't really know what to pick she looked at the weapons and chose another baldric of daggers and a short sword she didn't like swords usually but this had superb balance in her hands. Akane came after Ukyo looking at the weapons she chooses two short swords, which she placed by either side of her hips. Clare came forward and chose a sabre and a two daggers the sabre she placed by her back and the dagger by her hips. Dr Tofu and Gosunkugi waited back
"Will pressure points work on vampires?" Dr Tofu inquired Mika nodded 
"Most will but you should arm yourself in case" He replied handing him the last baldric of daggers and to Gosunkugi he said
"Your magic will be good but still take this dagger in case okay?" Gosunkugi looked pale accepting the sharp silver dagger but he did anyway. Then Gosunkugi had a far way look and said 
"Here let me do something everyone but the hunters stand together." Unsure what Gosunkugi was going to do they moved forward hesitantly. 
"Now this won't hurt" he said in a soothing voice which did nothing to help the others fears he started to cant and a white glow enveloped them Mika looked on seeing what he was going to do 'wonder if he'll do it right' he thought Finally the glow disappeared and the clothes of them had changed to a dark black and silver look. Akane now wore black trouser and a black top with silver lines on the shoulders the short swords were now sheathed in a dark black scarab at her waist. Dr Tofu was now wearing a dark black gi his bladric of silver daggers shining out on his chest. Ukyo wore similar clothing to Akane except hers was totally black and silver was running from her waist like a belt. Shampoo wore a black bandanna across her forehead and shining black clothing. Cologne wore similar her head band now black and her clothing back with a silver design on her chest, Kodatchi wore her leotard which was a shining black and silver bandanna adorned her forehead. 
Mika shook his head 
"Okay now you look the part of vampire hunters lets just hope you can act the part as well as you look it." He said and started walking away everyone started admiring their new clothing and then they followed Mika as he and the others walked away through the clearing.
"Okay the vampires keep in about 20 miles straight ahead if we hurry we an reach there in a bout 1-2 hrs lets go" 
Ukyo liked her new look her sword didn't even feel heavy nor did her baldric of daggers but she wondered if she'd be thinking that after walking to the vampires keep. Akane liked her clothes but only hoped that they could maybe get to the keep before Ranma was turned into a vampire.

Ryouga woke up the chains were gone from his hands he looked around The lieutenant was there he looked around maybe he could escape but he saw how easily they were captured last time and looked at the vampire with undisguised hatred. 
"So when are you gonna do it drink my blood now or later like you did to Mousse and Kuno." He said
"I never forced Kuno and Mousse to become vampires they chose to become vampires" The vampire answered him
"Well I choose not to be a vampire!" Shouted Ryouga at the vampire
"Being a vampire is wondrous Ryouga you'll see more and" Looked in Ryougas eyes Ryouga tried to pull away but something held him in the vampires eyes
"You'll never be alone again Ryouga never." Ryouga shuddered 'Alone' the words rang through his head 'alone' It was loneliness that Ryouga hated and feared the most he had always gotten lost so never really made any friends he hadn't seen his parents in years how could someone love him he was never there! He imagined himself dying alone and unloved who would mourn for him! He thought bitterly
"You have always been alone Ryouga but I could give you power that you would never have to be alone again" Ryouga thought about it he found he couldn't think of anything else apart from how lonely he was he tried to remember something else but he couldn't but that didn't matter he thought all he could think of was his loneliness the vampire was offering him a life line 'never to be lonely again' he thought wistfully. And here he had a chance!! 
Tears came unbidden to his eyes as he thought of his loneliness
"I don't want to be lonely again!!" He shouted out The lieutenant smiled and went near Ryouga tilting his head back.
"You won't be Ryouga" He said softly his fangs slamming deep into Ryougas neck piercing his main vein and drinking his blood Ryouga cried out and would have fallen had the vampire not been holding him. Blackness creeped across his vision. And he then feel down he saw the darkness take up most of his vision. 
"Drink this" came a voice
"And never be lonely again." It said
Ryouga something wet on his lips and began to suck at it drinking down the substance in his mouth till his stomach cramped. He cried out whatever he drank felt like acid eating him away from the inside out he started to shake uncontrollable he vision swam making him sick and then Ryouga opened his eyes he saw brilliance darkness. He smiled fangs showing, the lieutenant felt the power when he drank Ryougas blood he found the technique he used against him and he felt himself become stronger and stronger. He opened the door and grabbed a vampire he had chosen especially for Ryouga 
"Please him" He told the vampire her sparkling eyes amber coloured as she walked in. Ryouga saw her enter and realised he would never be alone as a vampire.

Gosunkugi shuddered he saw Ryouga becoming a vampire and saw the love of being a vampire in his eyes. 
"Ryougas a vampire now" He said to Mika as they walked through to the vampire keep.
Mika nodded 
"Only Ranma left" He said 
'Yes' Gosunkugi thought 'only Ranma'

Ranma woke his back ached slightly but he pushed that aside 'where am I' he thought he looked around and saw he was in a room with walls of black and a red carpet beneath him and he noticed a bed with red satin sheets. Pushing these thoughts aside he looked and saw the lieutenant vampire standing leaning on a wall.
"Ah so your awake at last" The vampire said
Ranma didn't reply but looked to see an avenue of escape he saw the door and was tempted to run but the vampire cut into his thoughts
"There are 2 other vampires out there Ranma"
Hope fled from Ranma and he felt despair what was he going to do now 
"So" Ranma said "What are you going to do turn me into what you did to Mousse and Kuno" 
"Up to you Ranma Ryouga is also now like us and they all chose to be Vampires we never forced them but they saw the light so to speak." The vampire smiled slightly showing his white fangs.
"Well I dunno how you convinced them but there's no way in hell your gonna convince me!" Ranma yelled Ranma looked into the vampires eyes and felt their pull he struggled and resisted The vampire looked amused
"Come now Ranma what makes you think we convinced them" Again Ranma felt the vampire eyes on him he looked away still
"Because there no other way you would of convinced the others to turn into vampires of their own free will" Ranma replied the vampire was silent
"Ranma I could give you power that you will never be defeated you will be the most powerfullest person and could always protect Akane from any one who came after her." Ranma looked up and this time couldn't look away the eyes held onto him but he struggled a voice came to his head 'give in give in want want'
"Ne...Ne...." Ranma tried to say but felt he was losing control of his body as he thought of Akane and losing her being beaten by someone who was stronger then him being second best unworthy of Akane
"Never!!!!!!!!!!!!"" Ranma yelled clutching his head at the temples
This infuriated the vampire 'hes resisting me!!' the vampire thought no one had resisted him before he was a lieutenant probably the strongest vampire after the Queen no one resisted him he tried again
In Ranma mind the voices became more insistent you must give in how could you  protect Akane if you don't'' The voices said
"N...N.....NO!!!!" Ranma Yelled again
The vampire flew into a rage grabbing Ranma by the throat he lifted him up so that his legs dangled. Ranma looked down and saw murder in the vampires eyes
"I'll........ never ...be........ a.....Vampire!!!!!!!" Ranma yelled to the vampires face
The vampire threw Ranma across the room and Advanced on him. Suddenly the vampire seemed to be thrown aside Ranma felt a pain in his mind and fell unconscious again. 

The vampire ;lifted himself from the floor Ranma was unconscious again who struck him he looked to his sides when he was hit again against the wall webs of cracks occurred where he smashed into the wall.
"Idiot" said a voice like a serpent 
"I have spent years planning the return of fire and your bungling with this one is putting that in danger!! He is the most important one and has a destiny!!! If you killed him everything will have been for nought." His was lifted by his neck and he saw the dark black eyes of the Queen of Vampires.
"Gah....i'm sorry mistress this human annoyed me he is strong." He managed to say
"Of course he is strong fool that is why I chose him!"
"But... But mistress how can we change him"
"I shall convert him" She looked down to Ranmas prone form
"mmmm handsome a worthy consort don't you think?" A trace of lust in her voice
"Mistress your blood could kill him." The lieutenant said getting up 
"Perhaps but he is strong leave him to me" 
The lieutenant was going to say more when the Queen looked at him he decided he'd better get out of there before he was killed so he went to the door and got out when he did he breathed a sigh of relief and wondered about Ranma. 'Could he survive?' He shrugged the Queen hadn't converted someone in centuries she had made the first then after they had served her purpose killed them 'would she do that to Ranma?' Again he shrugged what ever happened the days of fire were at hand. And he went to the main hall to wait for the Queen to finish with Ranma.

Ranma groaned as he came to he had a splitting headache but he quickly pushed away the pain and felt his neck He wasn't bitten he sighed in relief. He managed to resist maybe they couldn't change him he smiled at the thought. 
"So how're you Ranma?" Ranma whirled around and immediately felt sick but he forc3ed himself to see the figure before him. Ranma jaw dropped. He saw a gorgeous women with shining black hair and shining black eyes wearing a low cut top of black Satin her skin was creamy white making her eyes shine. But Ranma knew she was a vampire no one could be that pale.
"So I take it your not letting me go?" Ranma said as calmly as he could
The women laughed it was a sweet gentle laugh
"No youre to important to us Ranma"
"We'll your not turning me into a vampire"
"Like the lieutenant told you, you choose if you want to be a vampire"
Ranma snorted
"Well then I choose not to so let me go."
There was silence as Ranma felt the queens eyes on him he kept his eyes away from her.
"You must be a vampire Ranma" He heard the queen say almost hypnotically
Ranma rocked back as if struck the pain in his mind intensified and grew as he fought against it he held Akane face in his mind willing all his strength forward 
"No!!" Ranma said to the queen
This time the Queen fell back as if struck her eyes shone and she pierced Ranmas memories seeing the face of a girl she stopped. 'This is were he is getting his straight from' She smiled 
She held her hand palm upwards and an image on the air above her.
"Look Ranma" Ranma looked up and saw 'Akane? What the..." He looked and saw Akane she looked beautiful
"Look Ranma she doesn't care for you as soon as you left she was in the arms of that hunter Mika" Ranma looked and saw Akane she was Kissing Mika holding on to him 'No it can't be!' Ranmas Heart shattered The Queen looked and saw Ranma resistance fading she felt the small spark of vengeance in his mind and fanned its flames feeding it and watching it grow she held back Ranmas other desires with her mind 'vengeance Ranma let me give you the power to exact vengeance on all of those who have hurt you' The voice reached Ranmas Mind He thought of nothing now except his hate for Akane and vampire hunters his anger 'Revenge!!' His mind cried out take your revenge on them all!!!' Another image came to his brain Kodatchi, Ukyo and Shampoo all forgetting about him as soon as he had gone hearing them say
"Good riddance he had no breeding and never deserved me" He heard Kodatchi say
"Ranma not real man he could not have Shampoo on wedding knife shampoo would cut throat" 
"I agree Ranma was no man he wasn't even half a man" Ukyo said
The words cut into Ranmas Heart and Head he felt devoid of any feeling the blackness of despair 'REVENGE!!!!'
Ranma cried out shrieking his revenge it reverberated across the room and suddenly the Queen was on his biting his throat
Ranma felt the pain as she bit his throat but it was washed away as his fury growled and blossomed enraging him He saw the queen slashing one of her wrists immediately blood that was pitch black flowed
"Drink Ranma and have your revenge" said a voice
Ranma grabbed her wrist and drank the black blood he drank about 4 mouthfuls when his stomach cramped and spams suddenly all his muscles locked and pain started shooting through his body pain took over Ranmas thoughts as he felt it slam into his brain he cried out and screamed his stomach felt like it was dissolving he was being eaten from the  inside out the pain went to his spine and travelled upwards to his brain then exploded the pain doubled and Ranma felt his heart start to cramp in his chest the pain reached a peak and then exploded His screaming went higher as the pain exploded Ranma arched his back as all his muscles spasmed against his bone and his back arched as he finally fell unconscious.

The Queen shuddered as Ranma screamed her blood transforming him but she shuddered not from fear but from pleasure she loved the way people screamed as they felt their life taken away. She looked over Ranmas prone form 'He was strong' she felt his blood enter her and licked her lips she looked further at him and wondered how long it would be before he regained consciousness if indeed ever if he did not arise in at least 10 minutes its more than likely that he was never going to she remembered the last time she tried to convert someone it had been so long ago about 3 centuries she reasoned he wanted her blood and she gave it too him he died only 1 minute later he couldn't take the flux of power she smiled though 'Ranma would' she thought sure of herself.
 
	Gosunkugi cried out and everyone stopped they were only one mile from the vampire stronghold and where tired so had stopped for a rest. Mikas head shot up 
"What did you see?" He asked
"The The The Queen" Gosunkugi spluttered out "Shes Shes changed Ranma" 
Akane gasped and started to cry Ukyo looked numb but was prepared. Mikas face looked as if it was made from stone 
"Shit" He said "This ain't good there's no choice now we'll have to kill Ranma" 
"No!" The girls shouted 
Mika was having none of this
"Listen!!!" Mika shouted "And listen good We can't defeat the queen vampire no slayer could get near her!! And no one can drink her blood its corrupt and evil and powerful if Ranma drank it forget who you knew Ranma will now be the second most powerfullest vampire alive and the most deadly" Mika turned to Gosunkugi who was shaking
"Could you turn Ranma back" Mika practically shouted
Gosunkugi thought
"I I don't know your talking about the queen vampire!!" He opened the grimoir
"What does it say?" Akane asked
Gosunkugi sighed
"It doesn't say anything there still maybe a chance but I don't know" He answered sadly
Mika sighed
"Look answers me this....howell you convince Ranma to change back?!" He asked to everyone
"I'll talk to him" Ukyo said
"Theres something else" Gosunkugi said his voice still sad
"What?" Dr Tofu asked
"I saw how the queen convinced Ranma she she" He took a deep breath "She showed Ranma false images showing Akane going with Mika and everyone against him" He took another deep breath "I feel that Ranma will almost certainty not be happy to see us" He finished  
"What happen now?" Shampoo asked
"Forget about Ranma for now we must get there and fast." Mika paused "Ok we've come this far tell me how're we gonna get them back so we can change them back."
Cologne paused and went to Mika 
"Is there a lake near here?" 
Mika looked puzzled yes we'll be passing one why?" 
Cologne smiled "I have an Idea"

Ranma opened his eyes the light seemed so sharp and he quickly closed them again he felt different for stronger somehow then he remembered 'Akane' She betrayed him all of them laughing at him behind his back. He forced his eyes open and saw the queen he smiled and fangs slid down his mouth and poked on his bottom lip his tongue felt the fangs sharp and wondered what else had changed about him. The queen looked at Ranmas form in undisguised lust but Ranma didn't care at the moment all he cared for now was revenge on all of the people who had hurt him. He paused First Akane then he would work his way down the list.
"No Ranma not yet" The queen spoke to him
Ranma turned his head towards her
"First we have things to do then you can have your vengeance"
"I want it now" Ranma replied his voice had changed his voice was dark and full of menace
"Not yet first lets go see your friends and the people who shall be your family then you shall understand what we first must do." The queen replied
Ranma scowled but he felt drawn to the queen so obeyed her 
"Oh Ranma those clothes don't suit you" The queen made a motion with her left arm and Ranmas clothes changed he wore a totally black version of his usual red top and black bottoms the new dark clothing made his pale face shine out and the clothing had a sheen around it. 
Ranma smiled then frowned slightly
"I'm thirsty" He said
The queen nodded and a girl was shown in she couldn't of been more than 16 
"Drink your fill then come down the guards will show you around"
Ranma didn't need to be told twice and the girl screamed as Ranma charged and her and his fangs buried themselves in her throat her screams quickly died as Ranma drank all her blood but Ranma didn't see the girl he saw Akane as he drank. He dropped the now dead girl and walked to a Mirror that adorned the wall and saw his face His eyes were no longer blue but completely pitch black his face was unnaturally pale and his lips were blood red from drinking. He punched the mirror shattering it the glass lacerated his hand but he saw it quickly heal he turned and walked out the door. One guard went in and removed the body of the girl while the other guard showed Ranma to the main hall.

Ranma saw his friends Mousse wore a black robe with red trimmings his eyes were blood red, Kuno sat by his side he also wore black his eyes red too, Ryouga sat opposite Mousse his eyes red but wore a red top and Black bottoms but still wore his black and yellow bandanna he was smirking slightly and his normal fangs were larger as they poked his lips. The queen sat At the head of the Table with the lieutenant by her side She waved Ranma over and he sat on her right side. Over vampires started to file in sitting on the table till 50 vampires filed in and sat. 
"Comrades I would like to introduce our newest vampires Ryouga Kuno Mousse and Ranma." All the vampires stared at them
"Now the time has come we will finally stop the war between us and the Hunters with Ranmas Ryouga Kuno and Mousses power we will be victories nothing shall stop us this time we shall take our rightful place as the leaders of this world and the humans shall be cattle to us!!"
The vampires all grew excited the days of fire were at hand!!
"When do we strike!!" One vampire shouted he was the leader of Vampires in England
"Soon firstly we shall liberate Japan from the hunters then we shall spread across Asia and then Europe"
"I will obey but I am curios how will we defeat the hunters the war has gone on for centuries?"
The vampire leader of America said
The queen waved to the lieutenant who stood 
"our new sons have given us the powers to destroy the hunters once and for all my lieutenant shall demonstrate" 
The lieutenant threw a black dagger which arced threw the air and smashed into a wall the wall promptly crumbled. 
"This technique also works with humans" A struggling man of about 25 was thrown into the room from Ranmas eyes he saw that it was a gaijin and looked to the lieutenant. The lieutenant held another dagger but instead of throwing it he made a slicing motion in front of the air and a cut appeared on the struggling man on his chest. The man cried out in pain and the lieutenant concentrated and blue ki shot from his hand and burned a hole threw the mans chest. The man screamed and ceased struggling the man was dragged away and all the vampires looked in awe of the new powers that they could posses.
"There are more powers as you will see when we attack Japans hunter building make no mistake we shall finally destroy the hunters." 
All the vampires grinned as they thought of the Earth finally there's
"When do we attack?" A vampire asked
The queen smiled
"Now"

Mika stopped In the distance they could see the castle of vampires. 
"What is it?" Clare asked as she came next to him
"I don't know something ain't right" He answered
"Whats the hold up?" Ukyo asked from behind
"something....this is wrong somehow we should have seen some vampires by now they wouldn't leave the stronghold unguarded unless..."
"Unless what?" Ukyo said puzzled
Mika ignored her "Lets keep moving"
They walked forwards and continued to the stronghold, Ukyo was slightly worried Ukyo was awed as she got a proper look at the stronghold it was stone black and had an eerie presence it had a drawbridge like a medieval castle.
"Don't be fooled by its looks" Clare said next to her
Startled Ukyo almost leapt into the air
"What do you mean by that? She asked curiously
"This isn't there real place the vampires normally live in high priced areas" Clare answered
"But why the castle?" Ukyo asked confused
"Had us puzzled too Mika says it reminds them of where they came from" Clare answered
Ukyo paused
"That's another thing you look older than Mika yet he leads why?" 
Clare smiled
"He's more then he looks"
Ukyo looked curious but Clare wouldn't say anything else

Ranma stood ready he made a movement with his hands and a short sword slid into his hands it had an ebony blade and a shining red handle Mousse had his claws on his hands Kuno had a katana and Ryouga had a staff which was bladed on one end with a curved blade. The queen stood before them her lips blood red and eyes black like the night behind her stood the remaining 5 lieutenants
how shall we attack them?  asked one of the lieutenants
Here look A map was rolled out and a building was circled in red
This here is the vampire hunter building its designed to take on vampires but with our new strength courtesy of the young ones we shall hit them in 3 ways She pointed to 2 vampires
 you shall lead 100 vampires at the front of the building You She pointed to the another 2 shall take the back. And I with the young ones shall take the side the police will be detained by you She pointed to the last lieutenant 
Now lets go. She waved her hand and a portal opened she stepped through with Ranma, Ryouga, Mousse and Kuno following her. 
	
Mika stopped they were right at the draw bridge it was down
hmmmm to inviting
Whats wrong Ranma in there Akane said to him
Dont you think its too inviting? Mika said in a calm voice
No lets just go and get him She said drawing her sword and walking down the drawbridge
Mika swore and walked after her He grabbed her before she entered the keep
Listen you dont have any idea where he is in there or how many vampires are in there 
Akane shook off his restraining hand and yelled at him
I can take care of myself!! And started walking back again Ukyo, Shampoo and Gosunkugi walking with her
Idiots Mika said he calmed himself 
What are you doing Clare said 
Shh let me concentrate Mika said back
Mika touched the stone and felt its presence he held back his anger as he felt all the dead people in the keep. He did a double take where were all the vampires? he felt no life in the keep wait no life they killed all the mortals in the keep but whyd they do that? They always keep some people alive for food unless Mika drew his presence back into his body
Damn there arent any vampires in the keep theyve mobilised!
What!! Clare said shocked
Go find Akane and the others who entered the keep hurry!
Mika took a cell phone from his pocket and started dialling
Whore you calling Reg said to him
Base

Gosunkugi let his mind free Merlin said that I would know the third talisman from the keep He concentrated and sure enough he felt the presence of something that called to him. He turned and went in that direction Akane looked to him and went with him wondering where was he going.
A door blocked Gosunkugi, he concentrated and the door was thrown open by the force of his mind. He gagged on the floor there were dead bodies staring open eyed in expressions of terror. He took shallow breaths and felt the call again he looked and another door was there he heard a cry and saw Akane she as white faced but guessed it was more likely from the dead then anything else.

He pushed this door open and gasped on the stone wall adorned many weapons but also was jewellery he felt something call to him even stronger then before and went over to the jewels his fingers wondered over the jewels until he found it what was calling him. He looked and saw a gold ring with a purple jewel, which throbbed with power. He grasped it and felt as if a part of him had returned. A glow enveloped him and he lost consciousness. 

Akane saw Gosunkugi collapse at that point Clare came in 
Quick Mika wants us Shampoo and Ukyo are already going back She said as if oblivious that there were dead bodies all around her.
Gosunkugi has collapsed Akane said
Clare looked and grabbed Gosunkugi by the arms and started dragging him
Give me a hand please She said through gritted teeth For someone who looked so small Gosunkugi was heavy
Shouldnt we be worried about the vampires? Akane said looking around
There arent any here Clare answered Come one well know more once we get back to Mika.

Mika heard the phone ring and ring and ring
Why arent they picking it up? he wondered suddenly it was picked up
help us man there coming in through the walls!!! Helpgah There was a pause and silence the phone was disconnected. 
Mika went numb he knew who it was on the phone someone who would never be scared from vampires What the hell is going on?

Ranma laughed as he dodged a clumsy slash at his side and made a riposte that cut his opponents throat. The attack had gone great Ryouga as broken down the wall right into the head quarters and then simultaneously the other vampires attacked from the front and rear. Another vampire hunter ran at him. He snarled and threw a wave of dark ki at his opponent slamming him from his feet and into a wall. Ranma then threw a dagger, which embedded itself in the persons heart. Oh how he loved it the expressions of terror as they saw they couldnt beat him. He swung his sword fast making the air pressure cut a person in half as he came at him. Suddenly Ranma was hit on his side he looked and saw a crossbow bolt. He pulled it loose and immediately it began to heal. Who dared! an old man appeared about 50 or 60 Ranma couldnt tell h was frantically trying to re arm the crossbow. Ranma growled and threw a black dagger which smashed into the mans shoulder spinning him from his feet. Ranma leapt threw the air onto the mans back and lifted him up. He saw fear in his eyes and yet resilience and hate as well. Ranma growled again and bit his throat drinking the blood that flowed. He killed the man smiled and leapt back into a squirmiest between some vampires and hunters How he loved his new life! 

Ryouga was killing people left and right they ran at him and he used his bakusai tenketsu killing them with shrapnel on his side Mousse was there slashing with chains and claws the floor was getting slick with blood. Ryouga felt his hunger rise as he saw the red substance flying threw the air from someone who he just killed. A girl hunter ran at him with a sword. He batted it away by the flat of the blade and grabbed her from her neck seeing defiance there he smirked and plunged his fangs into her throat he drank her blood and threw her corpse away ready to meet the new range of attackers her felt the minds of all the vampires near him. Some were diminishing as they dies from some hunters but with there new strength the hunters were dying soon it would be over. 
Mousse felt contempt for the people who attacked him Worthless thought as the people who attacked him could not get near him without dying from his claws and chains which where bladed. He snapped a chain to a wall and it sheared the wall in two as the blade left and careened into a hunter charging down the hallway. He felt someone in his mind
Dont be flashy dear just kill them it was the queen. He pulsed back
I hear and obey mistress
And he started killing in a frenzy that was unstoppable.
Kuno waited till the hunters got close enough to him and then lashed out his katana cleaving the ranks of the hunters like a scythe does with fields. He stabbed left and right as they attacked no one got even near him as he lashed out he cried out his special attack
Strike Strike Strike Strike Strike Strike Strike Strike Strike Strike!!! People died as they neared him heads toppling from their shoulders and limbs spraying blood as they were cut off the wall behind them crumbled behind them. Kuno laughed as kept on slashing how it felt good to be alive! 

The queen watched from her vantage they were winning and she felt ecstatic the first to fall some vampires she felt were dying but that was to be expected after all not all hunters were bad but they never had faced such forces as the combined might of the new ones. She felt the hunters dying only a few left now. After a few minutes she felt no human life in the hunters base. She smiled triumphantly 400 hunters dead from 200 vampires oh she wished she could savour this. Her lieutenant had told her Mika was likely to be at the keep by now. She looked to her watch any second now he would get a hell of a surprise. She mind pulsed all the vampires telling them that they had done well and to retire to the new vampire building in central Tokyo. She again looked to her watch any moment now she would enjoy his scream of terror just thinking about it gave her chills Mika the strongest hunter in Japan he had killed one of the six lieutenants but soon enough he wont be a problem anymore. She looked at the vampire hunter base and concentrated a ball of dark black ki formed in her hand she threw it at the building which erupted in dark flames which even burned the stone. Then she turned and left. 

Gosunkugi saw himself back in the astral plane Merlin stood there again smiling broadly
Thank you Gosunkugi you were lucky the vampires vacated the keep before you came they are stronger then ever now and I dont know if you could have gotten the next talisman but you exceeded my expectations.
Gosunkugi blushed but there was a question h had to ask
Why did I need these three talismans?
Merlin sighed and a chair materialised which he sat on
A long time ago near the end of king Arthurs reign I felt my power a new power coming and this was the first appearance of the vampires. I used my powers to hold them back but then the queen entered the fray. My power was on the wane. There is only a set amount of power someone can have at a specific moment which has to be recharged every so often by a special sleep called the druids sleep I hadnt recharged in a while I still felt my power was great. Merlin paused 
The queen was strong but at the peak of my power I could have destroyed her instead I was killed by her and her acolytes but before I died I sent my magic into three objects which I knew would come together at some point and I could give to someone worthy. Another pause
I Have chosen you Hikaru Gosunkugi to be the heir to my power the three objects shall increase your power to enormous heights you could be one of the most powerfullest magicians if you live 
Gosunkugi took this in
If I live?
Your future is uncertain as is a few of your friends a time is coming when a choice will be made this choice will effect the universe I can tell you will be involved but I cant see how.
Gosunkugi couldnt believe it in his whole life he never had any magic now he was the heir to the magic of Merlin now something that the universe depended on will take place and he was part of it.
When will this choice have to be made? He asked Merlin
I cant tell but I see nothing after 1 and a half years so about then the choice will be made. Now I feel death calling me my spirit was held until those three talismans came together now I hear him come Before I go listen to me Gosunkugi. Your power is strong yes but the queen has gotten stronger she could destroy you even at my peak I could not defeat her now. 
Howll I defeat her!
Listen to me you cant but if you should live go to Stonehenge in England find the circle of sorcerors Find my tome it shall tell you what you need to know!! He turned 
He comes 
Gosunkugi turned his head a black figure came towards him he was darker then a bottomless pit and carried a scythe in his hands 
Come Merlin your time has come His voice was like a wind across a tombstone Gosunkugi shut his eyes
Merlin sighed and went with death and vanished
Gosunkugi opened his eyes and saw the sky and felt water thrown over him 
He spluttered now fully awake
WhaWhats going on? 
Trouble Was Mikas short answer 
Mika had drawn his sword and dagger as a howl rent the air. 
What is it? Akane asked 
Dont know but I dont think its friendly get ready
Gosunkugi struggled to his feet he looked around everyone had drawn there weapons.
Form a circle so it cant take us from behind Mika shouted as a crunching sound started towards them
They all quickly formed a circle
Gosunkugi can you give us some light in that direction Mika said pointing to were the crunching was coming from
Gosunkugi concentrated and a ball of white energy formed in his hand he threw it to the sound and white light filled the air and they got their first look at there assailant. They were shocked in front of them stood a sort of wolf hound mix but was 12 feet tall with foam dripping off its mouth and blood red eyes its fur was matted black and was close to 7 feet across. 
It howled again and started towards them again
Gosunkugi knew what this was with Merlins magic he had also acquired a bit of knowledge this was a chaos hound
What the hell is it! Ukyo shouted her grip on her swords made her knuckles white
Its a chaos hound a demon that was summoned from the pit Gosunkugi answered with a strangely detached feeling
Shampoo had enough before it got to close she started shooting arrows from her bow Kodatchi quickly followed her. The chaos hound cried out as the arrows hit it one burying itself in its flank the rest was bounced off it.
that wont work the arrows havent enough force to pierce its hide.
Gosunkugi said
Gosunkugi concentrated and blue fire shot from his fingers slamming into the Chaos hound the hound reared but continued coming Gosunkugi noticed it was going for Mika.
Its after you Mika! He shouted
 Mika didnt say anything he held his sword two handed now the beast was coming closer the blue fire slowed it but wasnt stopping it.
Lets step back He shouted everyone started falling back but suddenly a new howl came from behind
Shit another one! Clare said
Kodatchi threw her bow down and took her sword out of its scabbard she laughed
The mighty Kuno shall not be felled by the likes of you curs!! He shouted and lunged towards the chaos hound
Ukyo, Akane, Cologne see if you can help her you to Gos Mika shouted, the rest lets go after the other one.
Kodatchi charged towards the chaos hound, which charged towards this new foe and snapped at her trying to bite her in two. Kodatchi slashed the sword on the hounds muzzle but it didnt break its skin
She yelped and dodged as it swung its mouth and teeth at her again. She rolled in the ground and dodged again as its claws came down at her.
Ukyo threw her dagger, which again bounced off it, and it turned and started towards her.
Ukyo cried out in fear as it loped towards her it was fast. She jumped as the claws came down for her and narrowly avoided it. Shampoo ran forward and tried to stab its under belly but again the sword wasnt piercing its hide.
Its not working! Ukyo said
The chaos hounds hide can be pierced but a lot of force will be needed. Gosunkugi said
He again threw the blue fire at it and it howled in pain but continued towards Mika.

Mika was having about as much success with the other Chaos hound as they were with theirs.
He slashed at its face and dodged its claws and bites but he wasnt hurting it. Reg charged forwards his axe cleaved towards the chaos hounds face. It buried itself under its eye the hound reared in pain and lashed out hitting Reg in the chest and knocking flying into a tree. Reg was soundly unconscious Dr Tofu moved in to help Reg he drew a dagger and threw it at the hound as it came near him and Reg. But this dagger bounced off its hide and kept coming to them.
Clare ran at it from behind her sabre crashing into its back leg. It roared and kicked backwards knocking claw into the chest a claw piercing her arm she cried out as she fell but was knocked unconscious by the fall. Mika saw red and leapt into the tallest tree he could.
He positioned his long sword into a downward stab and leapt off the tree branch. He cried out as he fell and his sword stabbed the creature in the back of its skull blood gushed out from the wound soaking Mika. The Chaos hound roared in pain but the blow was mortal and it cried out once more and turned into a black smoke and disappeared.

Kodatchi dodged again the chaos hound kept on coming its claws smashed into a tree braking it Ukyo saw what Mika had down and had an idea. She leapt into a tree as he had done. 
Gosunkugi distract it! She yelled 
Gosunkugi concentrated and sent a blaze of blue fire into the hounds face
Ukyo Leapt her short sword smashed into the creatures back and pierced its hide but the blow didnt kill it. The hound cried out and started to jump trying to dislodge Ukyo from its back.
Akane came into the fray she threw her sword, which smashed into the hounds eye blinding it. The hound roared again its voice filled with pain and slashed left and right smashing trees and scattering its opponents.
Cologne threw a dagger and blinded the other eye it screeched and Ukyo struggled to hold on. Akane leapt onto another tree and did the same as Ukyo this time her sword pierced its sine paralysing it. Its feet fell from under it. Gosunkugi came towards it and started to utter a spell of banishment. His hands glowed and he touched the hound it shimmered and disappeared.
They looked and saw Reg stirring to consciousness by Dr tofu
Mika was holding Clare his hand over her wound healing her and her coming back to consciousness. He held her close and pulled her to her feet saying something to her. Akane looked and saw Mika was covered in black blood much to her dismay she saw that she and Ukyo were covered too. She went and recovered her sword as they looked for their weapons. Mika tried to clear the blood off him and think about what was going on. 
A few minutes later they all were sitting Ukyo and Shampoo were cooking okonomiyaki and Ramen while they discussed what was going on.
Those hounds were specifically going for you Mika Dr Tofu said Tying a bandage around Clares arm.
I know Was his answer Who summoned them is what I want to know 
Only someone of great power could summon something from the pit Gosunkugi said
The Queen Akane said
Yes the Queen Gosunkugi said
Mika took some Ramen and started eating it tasted good on his empty stomach but know they had a bigger problem.
Hey Gos can you teleport us to a place that I tell you? He asked Gosunkugi
SureI think He answered blowing on his hot okonomiyaki 
After a while everyone had eaten and Gosunkugi asked them to hold hands.
Okay this is my first time so Mika tell me where will I have to teleport us to? To the vampire base in Tokyo japan
Ummm I need more I could easily materialise us in a wall The thought of his hand getting lodged in a wall was stomach wrenching
Here Mika pressed his hand to Gosunkugi head and an image came to him
I take it thats what it looks like
Mika nodded and went back to his place
Okay lets go He concentrated keeping the image in his mind the world swirled and he found himself in a street there were fire engines and police everywhere
What the Mika said and looked around the base it was gone!
How? Clare said
The vampires Mika said shortly they attacked with Ranma and the others they didnt stand a chance 
He looked over there were dead bodies everywhere and blood his stomach felt like it was going to heave but he was long used to death. He turned and his blood ran cold
His sensei He lied dead in the street quickly a cover was placed over him by some ambulance men but Mika saw it was him and it was obvious he was bitten before he was killed. Mika felt numb his sensei dead!! It just couldnt be. Reg came next to him looking at the body of a girl. Mika felt sad it was Regs sister she also had been bitten before killed. Reg held her close as if a child and then let her go his face was made out of stone when he let go and came back to the group. Clare looked at the destruction but like Mika and Reg she also felt that no one was left alive she had lost friends and family. Tears coursed down her cheeks, Ukyo surveyed the destruction it was horrible fire had melted the stone and some bodies were burnt to a crisp. Shampoo held her horror she was an amazon they showed no emotion at battles Cologne was even sickened she had seen many battles and this was just like them and she felt sickened to her feet by it.
Hey who are you? A policeman came towards the group
Mika turned his eyes to the policeman
They were are friends areare family He said emotion in his voice
The policeman nodded but said You must step behind the line please
Mika nodded and went behind the line with the rest of them
There was silence as they watched the dead bodies being carted away
Where do we go now Akane asked she was pale faced and tired she hadnt gotten much sleep and all this death had gotten to her the rest looked the same. Mika answered
Well go to a hotel I know come on He turned and left the hellish scene the group following to him. He felt like it was his fault he should have killed Ranma and the rest before they were vampires if he had then this could have been averted. If he had gotten there earlier maybe he could have done something.
Reg looked worse then him he had lost his only living family his sister who wanted to be like him so had come to Japan to keep close to him he killed her he felt. Silent tears ran down his cheek his mother his father now his sister there was only he left and the vampires will go after him next.
	Mika checked them in the hotel and paid for their rooms
Come on lets get some sleep. He said shortly to the group
Wait Mika Akane said Mika stopped
Im sorry about your friends and and your family She said to him
Mika laughed cruelly
Family? I have no family Akane the vampires saw to that but Ill make them pay He said and started walking again
We still must save Ranma and the others She said softly
Mika stopped and sighed 
Must we? Its simpler to kill them now he said
No I wont accept that Mika She shouted Ukyo, Shampoo and Kodatchi agreeing with her
I dont know where they are and Ranma almost certainty took place in this attack why should he live now? Or the others? He said in a harsh voice
They are still innocent Mika and a hunter is supposed to protect the innocent Reg said it was the most he had said in a while
Mika calmed himself Reg had lost more than anyone if he didnt want vengeance then he wouldnt either.
Ok but how do we know where they are?
Kodatchi looked to Gosunkugi
Thoust have the ability of vision thou should now where they are
It didnt work like that before but Ill try to see Gosunkugi answered and concentrated his amulet grew warm and he got an image Ranma was there his lips cruelly pulled back as they were discussing the attack, his fangs showing. Gosunkugi shuddered but looked around for something to tell him where they are. He looked out of the building and saw a road sign. Suddenly Ranma looked right at him a puzzled expression on his face
Gosunkugi ran back to his body 
Ahh He cried out They saw me!! He said
Do you know where they are? Akane said to him
Yes there in Tokyo still in a big building 
Oh thats a lead, Ukyo said
As I was saying in Tokyo and He stated the address but before he could say anything else Mika spoke
Thats good enough well go tomorrow now we need some sleep. Mika said and went up the stairs.
Well he is right this has been one tiring day Dr Tofu said stretching and yawning also heading upstairs.
Dont worry Akane well get Ranma back Clare said to Akane a shaky smile on her lips
Akane blushed and a defence spring to her mind
What makes you think I want him back! She replied hotly
You came all the way here didnt you? And before she could offer a retort Clare ascended the stairs. Akane thought about it what would Ranma be like if he got back? When! she corrected herself when he gets back It was hard to imagine that people she had known had been involved in that massacre she shuddered and went up the stairs determined to get some sleep.

Ranma continued to look at the spot that Gosunkugi had just vacated.
What troubles you Ranma? Kuno asked his Katana sheathed across his back.
I felt something from that spot but I dont know what Was Ranma answer 
Bah maybe its was a spectre of the dead Ranma Mousse said Either way its nothing that could harm us
I wonder Ryouga said
What? Ranma asked him
Remember the vampire hunter what if it was him? Ryouga finished
At the mention of the vampire hunter memories of Akane and the others and how theyd betrayed him coursed through Ranma. His eyes turned an even darker shade of black.
If it was him I shall personally rip his heart from his body Ranma vowed
No one said anything
Mousse changed the subject
So how many did you kill? He asked Kuno
Ah the mightyest kuno did smote them well I must have downed thousands with my blows
Kuno there were only 400 hundred not thousands Ryouga put in
There may have been hundreds where you were but they were thousands I say where I was and I downed them all with my blade their blood nourishing me and there screams music. Kuno finished They were about to argue but stopped what was the point? 
What about you Ryouga? Mousse asked
Ahh now me I have no need to embellish I killed around 100 hunters and this sweet girls blood tasted like a fine wine. He said his mouth was getting thirsty just thinking about it
And you Ranma? Mousse asked
There was no battle only a slaughter Ranma said his dark eyes looking up at the ceiling he floated slightly from his chair.
Aww come on tell us Ryouga said
I dont know 100? Maybe Ranma answered
Well Ryouga said getting up
Im hungry see you lot later Ryouga 
Trying out the magic? Mousse asked
Hell yeah!! Ryouga answered and a black glow enveloped him and he disappeared
Ryouga is right Im starving havent fed since we got back Mousse grinned showing his fangs Want to come Kuno 
Kuno shrugged and got up
thou thinkest well Mousse let us go and feed Kuno and Mousse stood and disappeared like Ryouga
Now Ranma was alone he didnt mind he felt the thoughts of all the vampires in the new vampire base. His thoughts turned to Akane and anger flared through him anger that gave him strength this anger was irrational but he didnt think about that all he wanted to do was go now and kill her. But the Queen had told him not too yet he will have his vengeance on them all he clenched his fist on the table and the table creaked and broke he cried in rage and punched the table destroying it.
The queen surveyed Ranma from her vantage point the lieutenant by her side.
Interesting The lieutenant, said How even the barest thought of Akane causes his rage
I made it like that The queen said In his mind is a telepathic command every time he now thinks of Akane in anyway he will get angry that anger will never cease even into his eternal life 
My Queen you do realise that Mika escaped the Chaos hounds
I realise everything yes he escaped no mean feet considering we sent two
Maybe he had help
Fool of course he had help I went back and felt powerful magic one I had not felt in quite some time.
What of Ryouga Mousse and Kuno
They will obey me now forever if I command them The queen said
Ah the attack did go well did it not queen The lieutenant said smiling
The first of many lieutenant
The queen vanished then
Yes the first of many And then the lieutenant vanished too

Ryouga wondered the streets of Tokyo looking for prey he preferred girls but he didnt really care anymore than someone cared the sex of the piece of lamb they were eating it was all food.  He was now sighting a delicious looking couple that walked hand in hand with each other. He licked his lips his mouth watering He heard there conversation as they passed him. He paused as he was about to jump down one may run besides Im not picky he concentrated as he was told to and he projected a thought into the boy. The boy started arguing with the girl Ryouga grinned. The boy suddenly shouted and walked off leaving the girl looking confused. Ryouga glided down from the wall be was floating by. 
Need a hand? He asked
The girl jumped in shock and fear by not seeing him before
Nn.no thank you Im okay She said backing away
Ryouga smelled her fear he loved it fear added taste to the blood by the hormones it released.
oh its okay I can help a lot He said fangs slid out of his mouth
The girl screamed and started to run down the street
Ryouga laughed and flew after her.
He grabbed her by the shoulders as he flew by her
have to run faster then that girly laughing he said
She ran faster Ryouga was mildly impressed but he felt hunger knaw at him and decided to finish this. Leaping over her he landed directly in front of her she couldnt stop in time and smashed into him. Ryouga though didnt move an inch and grabbed her lifting her by her neck as if she were as light as a feather.
Oh dont feel bad you were a real good runner Ryouga said The girls tried to scream but Ryouga bit down on her neck silencing her. Blood poured into his mouth and he drank it as fast as it came. He felt raptures joy as he drank and finally there was no more blood. He tossed her corpse away from him it hitting a wall. Ah he felt better more full, he stretched and teleported back to the base for some sleep sunrise wasnt far off and he was getting tired. 

Kuno and Mousse walked the streets looking for some prey they had come to the slums of Tokyo were drug dealer and junkies and only criminals went at the dead of night.
Mousse sensed movement behind him 3 people stepped out from behind him and Kuno another 3 stepped out in front of him and Kuno.
Well Well and what are you supposed to be? The leader of this gang said referring to there black clothing and pale complexions.
Wouldnt you like to know Mousse said
Begone miscreants the mighty Kuno doust not want to spill low life blood at the moment Kuno said after Mousse finished. Mousse sighed Kuno had all the grace of a turkey on ice.
The leaders faced paled as he got angry 
I was just going to take your valuables but now He swallowed Now your going to die
Mousse laughed 
Come and try Blades came out of his sleeves so he held two short swords in his hands. 
Kuno took out his katana the muggers laughed.
We have more up to date weapons They all pulled pistols from their pockets and aimed them at Kuno and Mousse.
Try it Mousse, said opening his arms giving them a full range to shoot at his chest and back.
Gun fire ripped through the night as the muggers emptied their weapons into Kuno and Mousse. Mousse body was tossed like a rag doll as his body was hit in the back and chest. Kuno had the same reaction, they both fell to the ground.
hah see if they have any money on them The leader said
They laughed with their boss and went closed in on Mousse and Kunos body. Once in range Mousse and Kuno rose laughing sounding like demons. Mousse slashed the muggers nearest to him in the chest and stomach screaming they fell away from him. Kuno slashed one attacker in the chest and stabbed another through the heart. Now there were only two left. Mousse put his swords away and Kuno sheathed his sword, 
Now its your turn Mousse said his eyes glowing evilly
Kuno smiled cruelly and they closed in on the two would be muggers.
Mousse hypnotised the leader and quickly killed him by drinking his blood. Kuno didnt bother hypnotising the leader and just killed the man as he screamed for his life.
Bah that blood was low Kuno said
True but still satisfying come we must go before the sun rises Mousse shimmered and disappeared Kuno grunted and followed Mousse.

Ranma saw Ryouga arrive he was tired and went to his room to sleep in his bed. At first he wondered why not coffins but was told by the queen that coffins are used only when they are far from safety. Mousse and Kuno came a few minutes later on Kuno was complaining of a bad taste in his mouth while Mousse went to his room. Kuno complained a few minutes more then went to his room.
He was slightly hungry now he should have went as well, he shrugged he couldnt do anything now so why worry.
Hungry Ranma? The Queen said materialising near him
Just a bit He replied
Here She opened her wrist to him
He stared at her and then moved forwards he grabbed her wrist and placing it at his mouth started to drink.
Yes Ranma drink She said
Ranma obeyed her then took her wrist away from him. It started to heal almost instantly.
What troubles you Ranma
I want my revenge He said
And you will get it She said
When? He said
Once we destroy of the next Vampire hunter base you can go to wreak your revenge.
Ranma exposed his fangs 
Thank you my queen He said Now I must sleep As he went he could feel her hot gaze on his back she was after him he knew but he wanted his revenge first then maybe

Mika yawned as he woke, he slept as he always did without dreams he dressed and looked at the time 6 am he staggered downstairs to grab some breakfast. As he went down he saw Reg sipping a tea and eating some toast Clare was there too. He sat down next to them Reg poured him a tea and he started to drink before he talked. He felt the hot tea fall down his throat and felt better.
Better He said
Reg nodded offering him toast Mika accepted
What are we going to do Clare said breaking the silence
Mika thought for a moment
We know where they are thanks to Gosunkugi but before we go Im going to contact all the vampire hunter bases in Japan and China. 
What about Ranma and the others Clare said
Mika was silent 
I dont know about Ranma But Cologne has told me a few things about how we can capture Mousse and Ryouga, Kuno should be a problem if we can him away from the rest of the vampires. But Ranma He sighed I dont know as far as I have asked his one fear is cats which drives him in to an even more ferocious assault.
So Reg said
We have to kill Ranma
Reg and Clare were silent
No Clare said
Mika looked surprised
Why do you care? He asked
The girls love him what are we supposed to do? Kill him and then say sorry
Mika was silent and then sighed 
Come on in all I know your there 
Akane Ukyo Shampoo and Kodatchi came in followed by Gosunkugi Tofu and Cologne. Gosunkugi had even darker marks under his eyes from waking up so early
Your not going to kill him Akane said straight to his face
What else are we supposed to do He said to her
Cant we just fight him and take him? She asked a pleading look in her eyes
He sighed
none here have ever met the queen pray you never do she is. How can I explain evil beyond your comprehension and worse if Ranma drank her  blood he will get all those traits. All of them he listens to the blood it tells him what to do what he must do. As for fighting him hell be much stronger then whatever he was before I dont know if Ill have a chance but he now has weaknesses. He turned to Akane
He wont suffer if it comes to it that I can promise you
It isnt good enough Akane hissed at him Similarly the other girls didnt look pleased.
Mika had enough
You have no idea what you are facing He said exploding at them
The vampires have slain countless innocents and more then will always they are demons the queen is there leader by drinking her blood Ranma become a demon like her. So I cant guarantee I wont kill Ranma but Ill try and that is the best I can do He said
Quiet filled the air then everyone thinking about what was going to happen next.
Gosunkugi spoke next
I can help I cant defeat the queen but I think I might manage a lieutenant He said 
How many lieutenants are there? Ukyo asked
5 now I killed one and believe me he was the weakest the one who came for Ranma and bit you was the strongest now that he has drank Ryougas Mousses and Kunos blood he will we even stronger Ill take him. Mika then spoke again
If anyone wants to leave they can He said
No one left
Then lets get going the earlier we leave the earlier we get to where they are.

They boarded a train and went on Gosunkugi said he needed to charge his magic because they would be needing it. By the time they got to the station it was noon. 
Shampoo looked at her dagger its silver sheen showing her reflection she felt that it was enchanted Mika said that only this would kill a vampire or stakes if you got close enough. She looked to Ukyo and Akane and laughed in her head she would rescue Ranma and He would thank her by marrying her. Hah worthless Spatula girl thinks shes a warrior. She barely held back her contempt as Ukyo took her sword she had no idea even how to use one. She thought similarly of Akane who was no warrior she looked to Kodatchi crazy girl Mika said Vampires where demon maybe Kodatchi would fit right in. 
What are you looking at? Kodatchi said
Shampoo smiled feraly but didnt say anything Cologne sat next to her 
Dont do it yet great grand daughter we need them for now but be patient we shall take Ranma I have seen the grimoir that Gosunkugi holds after the spell is cast son in law will we unconscious for 1 day we will take him then to china.
Shampoo know but it anger shampoo for think warriors to hold warrior swords. Shampoo said to Cologne who nodded she too felt like that. Akane, Ukyo and Kodatchi were good but were they warriors.
Ukyo for her part could guess what shampoo was thinking she always was scheming and had a good hunch that she would try to take Ranma well that bimbo wouldnt do it. Akane was just depressed so wasnt saying much without Ranma her life was she didnt know somehow empty, boring unfilled. She thought back to when Ranma wasnt in her life and wondered why did she want him back he was a rude obnoxious pervert who protects me whenever I get in trouble. She shook her head it was too complicated for her to work out she hated Ranma and yet cared for him. 

Ranma paced around the new vampire keep it was a beautifully furnished office block that only worked during the night. What was wrong with him there was something in his mind it was trying to tell him something but no matter how hard he tried he couldnt listen to it. He sighed and sat on his bed the sun wouldnt go down for a few more hours so he could go outside, it was a pity but he didnt mind not seeing the sun again.
In her room the Queen and the lieutenant sensed Ranmas thoughts.
He still struggles The lieutenant said How? 
The queen looked also slightly surprised
He is a latent telepath that is why he managed to defeat your attempt to take over his mind. Even now the parts of his mind that I have locked away are trying to call to him 
Empathic?
Yes but even he doesnt know yet but he has honed his mind like a martial artist would so its like a shield even so it is no match for me She said 
So his mind wont be free?
No
good Id hate to lose such a potent force 
What you hate is of no consequence in a few hours the sun will go down and we can attack the next Vampire hunter stronghold
Yes my Queen He said walking away bowing
Ranma you interest me more and more The queen thought
Oh my Queen I have just received word the dark circle wishes to see you he said just as he was about to leave
Those idiots Hissed the queen They think they can bring back the days of fire and now they summon me!! Bastards Ill destroy them once Ive finished with the hunters 
The liuetenant looked shocked he didnt mind going against the hunters but the dark circle?
He bowed once more
As you wish my queen
Oh yes the queen thought once Im finished your next

Milkada walked through the halls his face was flushed with anger that bitch! She defied the circle!!. The kicked a door in and entered the door glowed and flew back in place. 
I take it she isnt going to come to the meeting? Said a voice
Milkada turned to the voice his eyes flashing green
No He said rage in his voice
The voice was not so afflicted he just hmmm then spoke again
You know why I asked her to the meeting? He said at last
No Milkada said But as one of the circle you shouldnt have been refused
It seems that one of the people the oracle spoke of has recently been turned into a vampire by her
Milkada stopped in his pacing the oracle predicted the coming of the ones who could bring back the days of fire he wasnt there he was young not as old as the one before him
But if shes turned one into a vampire
Yes either the prophecy doesnt come true or it does and she destroys us 
Treacherous bitch I would love to kill her Milkada said
You have not the power Milkada she was there with the rest of the circle and knew of the oracles prophecy
So what do we do Aresh
Aresh turned and smiled his brown eyes dark his smile cruel
We kill her
Master she controls the vampire armies a war between us and them and neither of us will be able to stop the hunters or sorcerous or even the other members of the circle
Aresh looked thoughtfully the only thing that prevented a war in the council was mutual extinction if they fight amongst themselves they were finished.
He looked into his pewter goblet a figure formed and Aresh smiled
We shall help those who wish to kill her once shes out of the way the vampires are all but finished and wont be able to stop us
I dont know which is worse helping the hunters or the vampires
The enemy of mine enemy is my friend Milkada and id didnt ask you to like it go and help them then leave if the vampries see you we will be at war understand? Oh and once the queen is destroyed fined the one the oracle predicted and take him from the hunters kill them preferably
Milkada smiled his face looking wolfish he nodded and walked out
Aresh looked at him as he left hmmmmmm one of them has been found but were are the others? In under two years the days of fire would be back and then I will personally kill all the vampires

The sun was now climbing down to the horizon when Mika and The others reached the building
So. How do we get in? He asked
no one answered there were security guards everywhere and the inside  the building looked dark as a crypt.
Maybe I can help with that Came a voice
Mika looked behind him and his dagger came out from under his sleeve  
There was a tall muscular man about 23 wearing a black muscle shirt And black jogging pants his hair was blond and eyes green. Mika snarled
Wolf he said
Correct hunter I am Milkada
Why should I not kill you were you stand
Because I can help and because you couldnt
Milkada stared at the human in front of him there was something about him that annoyed him.
Mika the guy offered to help us get Ranma back Akane said at Mikas right
Milkadas eyes narrowed Mika I should have known
Shut up Akane he is a Wolf He said to the girl
Why would you help us wolf Clara said to Mikas left
None of your business He said to her
Then why should I trust you Wolf
Speak my name human not wolf He shot back to Mika
Mika was about to reply when Akane spoke
Mika I dont care what he is if he can get us in
Mika looked at Milkada
Whats the cache? He asked
Kill the Queen 
Mika blinked and blinked again then laughed
I do not like being laughed at human!!! Roared Milkada 
You want us to kill the queen the vampire queen Mika laughed again
Milkada growled and was about to rush Mika when Mika looked at him straight in his eyes. 
Fine said a voice Mika turned Akane and Ukyo had seemed to have discussed it with everyone else and had said yes
Milkada smiled and turned
This way
Mika turned to the girls his eyes angry
Fine? FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? He shouted
We need his help Akane said
You have no idea what you have just done He said
Come one He said and followed the werewolf. 

Milkada led them to a building across the vampire stronghold and led them to the basement.
Through here Milkada said jumping into the dark hole and walking forwards.
Mika followed and soon everyone had jumped in.
Akane didnt like it, it smelt of death and decay she tried to look to the sides and saw a small thing moving. She cried out and screamed
Ukyo put her hand over Akanes mouth
Be quiet!! Cologne said
Its just a rat Akane calm down Dr Tofu said
Akane calmed herself and breathed deeply
Its okay honey just dont look at them Ukyo said as they continued to walk
 
Milkada smelled the air the short one was afraid they all were he felt an aura of power emanating from the one who looked half dead he sniffed the air again it was an aura of magic but he was still afraid except he looked behind him the hunters. He looked at the girl Clare? Was also scared but it was controlled it seemed. He looked to the Muscular looking human he had an aura of anger. He lastly turned to Mika he blinked there was no aura of any emotion. That was strange humans are supposed to have auras especially when emotions ran through them. Only people who were dead never had auras but Mika wasnt dead curious. 
Up here Milkada said he looked up and a cellar was there. He jumped and the wood splintered.
Mika turned to the rest of them
ok listen to me if you see a vampire stab first think later and the wolf too I dont trust him
Mika then turned and leapt up
Milkada heard them and laughed softly
Shampoo looked around they were in a room with stone blocked and coffins. She gasped Colonge went over to one and pulled it open her dagger ready. It was empty
Why no Vampire in coffin? Shampoo asked
Vampires only sleep in coffins when they are way from safety otherwise Clare answered
Milkada opened the door and they entered a corridor it was lit and the carpet was red
The corridor went down two ways
Well split up Mika said
Clare nodded but they all seemed a little afraid here they were in the middle of the vampire stronghold.
Reg Ukyo Shampoo Colonge Dr Tofu Gosunkugi go Left, Me Akane Kodatchi Milkada and Clare go right. And keep your weapons handy remember just get then and go fast dont worry about us
Wait here Gosunkugi concentrated and a ball of white energy about the size of his fist formed it was greyish white
This is a transport ball if your in trouble concentrate and think of nothing but the Tendo Dojo you will be transported there, He gave one to everyone
If we get separated He said
Everyone drew his or her swords 
Lets go
Mika turned and went right the others following him.
Reg turned and went left

Mika looked left and right there was no doubt about it they were in the vampire stronghold he felt them near 
Be ready here they come
The vampires were walking down the corridor there were three of them they were laughing and joking. Mika threw his dagger taking one in the heart. Akane ran forward her sword cleaving down cutting ones head off
Kodatchi threw her dagger and it hit the vampire in the heart.
Easy as throwing my hoops She said Laughing
Shut up!!! Mika said looking around
How dare you!
Mika picked up his dagger as Kodatchi continued to rant 
Listen they will here us so shut your mouth Kodatchi was going to answer but saw Mika wasnt joking and stopped
Come one Milkada said 
The queen is on the top floor so will Ranma and the others

Reg held his axe ready he didnt have Mikas senses but he knew the vampires were near
A vampire walked down the corridor and saw them
The vampire cried out in surprise but Colognes dagger in its heart stopped it
Good throw Reg said as they continued to walk
Can you tell were they are Gosunkugi? Reg asked
On the top floor He answered
Then lets keep moving
 
The queen snarled the hunters were hear she felt the magic of one long gone and Mika was also here.

Ranma heard this and walked to the door he needed a fight he went out and sent his mind out of his body he felt were they are Akane!! He felt her aura she was here vengeance could be his!! He turned and Ran in search for her Ryouga woke and heard the queen people wanted to take away his family! He snarled and got up Mousse was waiting outside his door 
Come on I think I feel them He said Ryouga concentrated and a sword appeared in his hand 
Then lets go
Kuno awoke badly he was having a great dream so when he woke he was in a bad mood He stepped out of his room and ran into Ranma 
zounds Ranma watch were you are going! He said
The hunters I know where they are come on He said and continued to run Kuno followed him drawing a katana.

The lieutenant felt Mika
So he comes A sword appeared in his hand and a dagger in his left hand
He felt where he was heading and went to meet him he felt Ranma and Kuno also heading for them

Reg was swarmed with vampires he slashed with his axe but there were too many. Ukyo Stabbed with her swords left and right killing every vampire near her. Shampoo was fighting back to back with Cologne, Cologne was little more than a blur she shouted Katchuu Tenshin Amaguriken and Vampires fell from her. Dr Tofu moved like liquid one hand held a dagger another pressing the pressure points knocking the vampires unconscious. 
Gosunkugi was also helping blue fire shot from his hands incinerating the vampires. Finally the vampire who attacked them were dead Reg wiped the sweat from his brow they had been walking down a corridor when a roaming band of 30 vampires had found them they had managed to kill 10 with throwing daggers before they had gotten too close. Cologne killed all the vampires Dr Tofu had Knocked unconscious and then sighed she was tired the vampires kept coming towards her she hadnt been in a battle like this in quite a while. 
Come one lets keep moving Reg said they walked and came to a door Reg opened it there was a hall and inside were two figure sitting down at the table
Welcome Ukyo Said one
Welcome Shampoo Said the other
To your worst nightmare!! They said together Light flared in the hall illuminating it brightly.
Ukyo looked and saw who they were; they had just found Ryouga and Mousse.

Mika stabbed a vampire finally they had killed all the vampires who attacked them. Milkada helped them this time his hands became claws and he stabbed them in the heart and ripped out some vampires throats beheading them. Mika shook his arm it was getting stiff they had been attacked by about 40 vampires. Kodatchi used her bow and everyone threw their daggers killing almost half of the vampires number before they reached them then Mika stabbed a few with his sword and Akane attacked with her swords until all the vampires turned to dust. 
Clare looked to her right there was a door
Hey look lets go before more vampires come She said
they followed her and Milkada kicked the door in they was a flare of light and Mika saw to his left that Reg and the others were there how did? The door!! It must have transported them here. Looking he saw two figures suddenly another three appeared. 
Hello Akane Said a voice full of malice Kane shuddered it was Ranma. 
Hello sister Said the other figure softly Kodatchi looked it was her brother.
come brother we have come to rescue you She said 
I have no need of rescuing but you do He said 
The one in the centre smiled
Mika
Mika looked his sword drawn
Lieutenant 
Oh I know Im going to enjoy this He said
Same here Mika said
Oh and to keep your friends busy The lieutenant waved and six vampires came forward 
Dont be fooled Mika said They are lieutenants too arent they It wasnt a question.
Of course except that one The lieutenant said pointing to the youngest looking one he is aspiring to be a lieutenant. So shall we dance?
I thought youd never ask 
The battle was on

Cologne threw water forwards at Mousse as he rushed in Mousse nimbly dodged it aside
Pitiful Cologne your too old to hit me now He said and in a flash he was at her he backhanded her across her mouth knocking her from her feet. He turned too Shampoo
Come Shampoo let me show you what I can do now Mousse sent his chains forward at her.
Shampoo dodge to the side but felt something snag her foot she looked down it was a chain.
tut tut dear Shampoo Mousse said and pulled back sending shampoo in the air.
She twisted her body and hit Mousse full in the chest with her feet. Mousse was knocked back and smiled
Nice try now lets see for real. He moved quickly and hit shampoo in her gut and uppercutted her in the mouth knocking her to the floor blood dribbling from her mouth at the force of his blow. She wiped the blood from her mouth and drew her sword 
Now you die Mousse!!! She shouted in rage
Come and try Shampoo He said
Ryouga ran forwards at a blinding speed and kicked Ukyo in the stomach hitting her against the wall. 
Oh dont lose yet at least give me a battle Ukyo Ryouga said tauntingly
Ukyo struggled up her two short swords in her hand
Oh you want to fight weapon to weapon eh Ryouga drew his sword Come on bitch He said
Ukyo charged forward her swords slashing Ryouga dodged her sword and hit her in the chest with his hands knocking her back there was a sound of breaking bone as Ryougas hand connected. Ukyo cried out in pain 
Ive broken one of your ribs surrender and Ill kill you clean
Y..ou jackass Ukyo said through clenched teeth and charged forward again she moved fast but Ryouga moved faster dodging her blows but was having to back up at the force of her attack. Ryouga smiled maybe he would enjoy Ukyo after all.

Cologne rolled under the force of Mousses blow and was about to enter the fray when she felt someone behind her. Dodging in time as a sword cut the air and stone behind her. 
Oh no your mine old women Said one of the vampire lieutenants.
Cologne drew two daggers and charged moving like a blur she was amazed to see her attacks blocked by the lieutenant. She cried out
katchuu Tenshin Amaguriken Her hands moved like lighting but every thrust was blocked. This was impossible!! How could he block herRanma he is a vampire Mika said the vampires can learn the skills of other vampires. She cursed and dodged as the vampire struck back. She wasnt going to like this.

Mika charged forward his longsword slashing at the lieutenant. The lieutenant dodged his sword and riposted Mika blcoked it with his dagger and stepped back. 
Youve gotten better He said
AS have you but here this ends 
Damn Right!! And Mika attacked again

Milkada dodge the vampire who attacked him and sent a right cross that knocked the vampire back. Milkada laughed 
Come on Vampire dont leave me hanging
The vampire attacked again but Milkada side stepped and his claw plunged into the vampires chest ripping its heart out.
Too easy Milkada said and moved to fight another vampire.

Ranma looked at Akane his vengeance would be now
Ranma Akane started but Ranma silenced her
You die now Akane And attacked
Akane tried to dodge but Ranma was even faster then before and he hit her In the chest she cried out and was knocked back. She swung her sword to defend her self but Ranma batted it away
You will die AKANE!!!! He shouted and charged

Milkada looked Everyone was embroiled in a fight, He saw Ranma and thought a worthy opponent.

Ranma felt something come at him and dodge, he stopped his attack on Akane and saw what was it. Milkada stopped and looked at Ranma, 
Come vampire die by my hand
Ranma snarled so close to killing Akane and now he had to deal with this fool well revenge is best served cold he will kill this fool then Akane.
Ranma turned 
You want it you got it boy Ranma ran Milkada tried to dodge but Ranma was very fast and hit him with combinations. Milkada staggered back Ranma he felt had broken his ribs but they were already healing.
Ill kill you slowly for that vampire! And Milkada charged.
Ranma dodged his attack by ducking his grab and shouted out
Katchuu Tensin Amaguriken!! Milkada cried out as Ranma hit him hundreds of times. Milkada would have to change to fight this vampire but that would mean showing he was a werewolf, he winced as Ranma hit him hard and was thrown back skidding across the floor. But if he didnt he was dead he began to change.

Kuno smiled at his sister.
I Have found peace Kodatchi but my mistress has willed it that the only peace you will find is in death so it shall be and attacked.
Kodatchi swayed and her sword came up but it was blocked by Kunos katana
Come brother dont do this you are family
I will obey my mistress He said and attacked again Kodatchi dodge again but felt the blade hit her in her fore arm butting her.
How dare you she said and attacked him with new fury

Clare and Reg went back to back as two vampires circled them. The vampires charged and Clare swung her sabre the sound of steel hitting steel was heard and sparks flashed. Reg swung his axe but it was blocked by a sword Reg stabbed with his dagger and it connected but not in the heart.
The vampire looked angry and charged Reg. Reg dodged relying on his instincts. The vampires slashed but couldnt hit Reg. Clare was fighting well but the vampire was good and couldnt gain any advantage.

Shampoo wasnt having a good time Mousse was too fast for her and she had numerous cuts were he hit her with his sword she cried out as another cut hit her on her leg by a chain, she also new that Mousse was toying with her to make her suffer.
Am I know a good enough husband for you Shampoo? Mousse said
Shampoo spat blood
You never Shampoo husband.  She said back to him Mousse smiled 
I am going to make you beg me to kill you Shampoo 
 Shampoo attacked this time Mousse grabbed her hands and lifted her up he floated in the air now holding shampoo from the ground. Shampoo twisted her body and threw Mousse from her, but before she hit the floor Mousse flew straight at her knocking her in the sir. She flew and smashed in the stone wall hard making an indent. She collapsed and hit the ground dazed. Mousse was over her laughing 
how pitiful you are I could have killed you anytime I wished.
Shampoo staggered to get up Mousse grabbed her by the forehead and slammed her head against the wall. She cried out and flinched in pain her clothes soaking in her blood.
Mousse drew a knife from his sleeve
Time to end this Shampoo He said

Dr Tofu had his hands full the lieutenant wasnt letting him get near him to use pressure points he dodged each thrust and blocked with his dagger but it was difficult he never trained with daggers. He had an idea he if he was fast enough. The vampire made a downward slash, which would have taken his head off instead of dodging Tofu moved in to the thrust. He felt pain flash in his side but he was now in a close range with a close fighting weapon before the lieutenant could move away Tofu stabbed him in the chest with his dagger. The lieutenant didnt have a chance to scream and died. 

Gosunkugi dodged another thrust and put up a shield of fire the lieutenant cried out as he was burned. Gosunkugi pulled a dagger out of the baldric and threw it at the vampire. It hit the vampire in the eye making him scream as he tried to pull it from his eye.  Gosunkugi concentrated trying to put the scene from his mind. A ball of fire appeared in his hand and he threw it at the vampire incinerating him. 
 
Cologne dodge another slash she was starting to tire this vampire was good the best she had scene she couldnt get near enough to use pressure points or even stab him. Dr Tofu staggered over to see Cologne his hand pressed to his side as the blood flowed freely from his hand. He threw his last dagger with all his might at the vampire. Then he pull the white ball Gosunkugi gave him 
The The Hospital 
He managed to say his tongue felt thick in his mouth but he said it. There was a flash and he vanished. Cologne saw the vampire cry out as a dagger hit it in the back this was her chance!!
She ran forward and stabbed the creature in the chest feeling her surge of victory. The vampire cried out and died, Cologne looked Shampoo!

Ukyo staggered up Ryouga had broken three of her ribs and her arm hung limply from where he had dislocated it, blood soaked her clothing at her chest.
Youre a bastard Ryouga She said hoarsely raggedly breathing
Ryouga laughed but flinched something in his mind what was it 
Ukyo saw Ryouga flinch
Fight it Ryouga please!! Ryouga sated twitching what was she doing to him!!
Arghh what are you doing to me Madness gripped him and he charged at her Ukyo prepared herself she couldnt survive this onslaught when suddenly water cascaded over Ryouga. She looked Ryouga was was P-CHAN!
P-Chan shook his head fangs still showing and collasped.
Ukyo took off her top and threw it over P-chan like a net and tied it like a sack.
P-Chan beweed in protest slightly but was too weak to bite threw the material. Ukyo collapsed she was hurt and exhausted. Grabbing her white ball 
Tendo dojo She said as clearly as she could there was a flash and she left.

Kodatchi blocked her brother thrust but was knocked back by the force of it. 
You canst defeat me sister Kuno said
Watch me brother. Kuno nimbly dodged her sword and sent a riposte, which stabbed her in her leg. Kodatchi cried out in pain
You cant defeat me give up and hope for a merciful death sister. 
Never!! She spat

Shampoo looked at the knife come nearer and nearer to her throat. She held back a sob as she felt its cool edge on her throat she didnt want to die! But she looked into Mousse her eyes defiant Suddenly Cologne was there she threw the last of her cold water over Mousse who turned into a duck Mousse and Collapsed unconscious this water had been treated with some of Kodatchi sleep powder.
Shampoo go now Cologne said looking at Shampoos condition
Shampoo nodded and pulled out her white ball 
Tendo dojo She said holding Mousse and disappeared 

Reg parried the sword blow but was getting tried his axe was getting heavy in his hands.  Clare dodged another blow but was also getting tied suddenly she misread the vampires move and pain flashed in her stomach she cried out as the vampire pulled the sword out of her stomach. Reg roared in anger turning his back on his opponent he sent his axe flying through the air into the vampires chest shattering ribs and hitting the heart. Reg felt pain in his back as the vampire he as fighting sent his sabre into Regs back and into his chest he pulled his sword back and it exited in a bloody spray. Reg stumbled and fell. Gosunkugi was there and a ball of fire hit the vampire in the back. The vampire cried out in pain but the fire was too ferocious and was killed. Reg fell blackness creeped across his vision he was dying he knew but it didnt matter this was the reason he came in the first place this was a suicide mission he knew. He looked at Clare blood soaked her top and legs but she wasnt dead yet. Reg looked and saw a figure in black then he saw his sister he smiled he was home.

Kuno punched Kodatchi and knocked her sprawling 
You cant defeat me now you shall die He said coming next to her his sword held to stab her. 
Hey Kuno Kuno turned
Catch Gosunkugi said throwing a blue ball
Kuno caught the ball quizingly which exploded suddenly knocking Kuno out. Gosunkugi went near Kodatchi
Take Kuno to the Tendo Dojo Ill be there soon
Kodtachi nodded and held Kuno holding the ball she spoke
Tendo dojo And vanished

Mika blocked the sword thrust and riposted and parried but the lieutenant was good neither of them had hit each other and Mika was tiring while the vampire didnt. 
You could have come back Mika The lieutenant said
Never Mika answered and attacked with new ferocity. The lieutenant saw Mika failing with fatigue 
You lose Mika The lieutenant said stabbing a killing thrust. Suddenly all fatigue seemed to vanish and the lieutenant realised he had been tricked but it was too late. Mikas sword stabbed the lieutenant in the chest but couldnt avoid the killing thrust in time. The lieutenant looked down to see the sword jutting from his chest and cried out then exploded into dust. Mika collapsed the lieutenants sword stabbing him in the chest. He choked and coughed spitting blood. He looked over Clare was dying and Reg was dead. He crawled over to Clare who spoke
Couldnt kill you eh Mika? She said and coughed at the end blood flecking on her lips
No He answered Not yet 
I enjoyed the time Mika and we all knew what this was 
Yes we knew but we had too 
I cant feel it now Ill see you later Mika and Clare stopped breathing

  
Milkada changed into his werewolf form thickly muscled black grey fur spread across his body his eyes turned red. Ranma stared confused then angry the queen had told him of the circle they were now at war. Ranma charged at the werewolf. Milkada was more powerful in this form and dodged the charged and hit Ranma in hi back but Ranma leapt in the air. He concentrated and a ball of Ki formed in his hand 
Mouko Takabisha!! 
He cried out sending the ball of energy at the werewolf. The wolf howled and dodged the ki as it hit the floor.
Th wolf charged at Ranma who was in the air. Ranma flew to meet him
Ranma dodged a swipe and hit back with a powerful punch in the wolfs face knocking him against the wall. Milkada got up and loped at Ranma who was running at him already. Milkada punched Ranma but Ranma dodged and sent a combination of punches in the wolfs chest and stomach the wolf cried in pain and Ranma felt like he was punching a brick wall. 
Heh see my new technique Dog 
Ranma said jumping in to the air
Dark Daggers! 
Ranma shouted his aura became black and shot outward forming daggers, which hurtled straight towards the wolf. Milkada twisted in an effort to dodge but the daggers slammed into his body through his back. Milkada cried out in pain Ranma landed and kicked the Wolf from the floor lifting him with such force and hitting him against the wall. Milkada tried to finds the white ball that the magician had given him. But Ranma was there Milkada couldnt move the dagger had pierced his spine. 
Die Dog Ranma said and Broke Milkadas neck and stabbed him in his heart.
Now where was I Ranma said looking at Akane, Akane stepped back Ah yes Akane and started towards her.

Ranma fight it!! Akane said as Ranma came nearer
No Akane you will die He said his fangs showing coming closer
Ran..ma I came all this way for you She said her back now against the wall. She looked to see the others but Gosunkugi was helping Reg who was down and Clare she also noticed was down Kodatchi was still fighting Kuno.
And I thank you, you saved me the trouble of hunting you down still coming forward Ranma was now next to her
I must get through to him Akane thought
Ranma. 
Shhh Akane Ranma said and looked into her eyes
Akane saw none of the Ranma she used to know but felt powerless.
Ranma put his head by her shoulder
Here Akane is my Vengeance
Ranma whispered into her ear Akane felt Ranma fangs next to her neck and felt his lips on her neck then a sharp pain. Akane cried out as Ranma drank her blood  
soooooo sweetttttttttttt Ranma thought suddenly something in Ranmas mind snapped Akane!!! Idiot its Akane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! came a voice
Akane betrayed me
No fool you love her dont do it Ranma stopped Akane was limply at his hanging on to him 
No no no no no no no no
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ranma cried out looking at his hands filled with blood 
R..r.ranmaa Akane said weakly 
Akane Ranma said

Im Sorry Akane He said
Its..its okay Ranma Akane looked at Ranma his eyes now back to there blue. Ranma grabbed his head as if in pain his eyes turned black again
That wont happen again now where was I Ranma said coming towards Akane again
I must break him out of this Akane thought
Ranma was next to her again. Akane struck Ranma reeled in shock as Akane kissed him. He felt her soft mouth against his and his mind turned blank thoughts of killing her were far away from his mind. This was Akane and he loved her. Akane felt him return her kiss then sag in her arms. She opened her eyes and saw Colonge looking at her
Akane blushed 
I had to save him She said defensively
Of course Akane looked and saw Mika by Clare a sword sticking out of his chest and back.
We must help them
No Akane you need help your still bleeding from Ranma Akane saw that it was true
Its over now isnt it
Not quite
They turned there was a woman dressed in black her pale skin showing her black eyes.
Youre the Queen Cologne said her hand holding her dagger.
Yes and now you have a choice give me Ranma or die 
Akane held Ranmas head in her lap 
Your not getting him Akane said
Ah your Akane well your Ranma is now mine The queen said coming closer she turned and saw Gosunkugi
So the heir to Merlin in here 
Gosunkugi stared at her and concentrated
Save your Magic you cant defeat me. She said and with a wave of her hand sent Gosunkugi flying into a wall.

Mika saw the Queen enter and struggled to rise but he couldnt he felt so lethargic. He struggled and saw Gosunkugi flying threw the air. He grasped the sword in his chest and pulled into out. Blood gushed out but he placed his hands over his wounds and concentrated healing his skin diverting the blood flow away from broken veins and arteries. 
He stood and grabbed Clares sword he staggered as he felt nauseous. Gripping it double handed. He called out
Hey Mother 

The Queen turned
Still alive Mika I thought that your lieutenant killed you 
Im hard to kill Mika answered
join me Mika and we shall rule the world and bring back the days of fire.
I dont want those days mother I never did why did you think I turned mortal
That was a mistake Mika I will kill you if you get in my way
Then kill me because I must stop you
I have no wish to kill my son but if you force me
You would enslave humanity
Humanity are cattle to us Mika 
No they arent
Enough The queen said Leave Mika and come back when you want to be a vampire again 
No Mother this ends here
And Mika charged at the queen the queen side stepped and punched Mika in the face knocking him from his feet
Dont make me do this son
Mika got up
I do what I must And attacked again his sword moved fast and cut the queen at her cheek but the queen hit Mika powerfully in the chest snapping a rib and hit his back knocking him to the ground, knocking his sword away.  
 Cologne attacked then her staff going for the queens heart. The queen moved like lightning knocking the staff away and hitting cologne away from her. Gosunkugi attacked as well blue fire being sent at her. The queen held her hand out and the fire collected in her palm she then threw it right back at Gosunkugi. Gosunkugi leapt to a side as the fire impacted with the wall creating a hole. 
Mika started to get up when the queen pushed him back down with the heel of her shoe. 
Oh well son you had your chance Mika felt her power collecting in her palm but suddenly Akane was there she rammed into the queen sending her sprawling. Mika got up and went to help Akane. The queen lifted Akane and threw her threw the wall upside down. Akane cried out and became silent as she was knocked unconscious. Mika charged at the Queen but she moved forward and hit him in the gut knocking him to his knees a dagger shone in the queens hand and she brought it down. Mika dodged but the dagger stabbed him in the shoulder Mikas hand moved forward and a hidden dagger from his sleeve came out he stabbed the queen in the chest.
Im sorry mother Mika said tears coming to his eyes
The queen tried to say something but couldnt the dagger silencing her. She cried out in pain and white light emanated from her body Mika turned away and the Queen exploded into dust.
Im Sorry
Gosunkugi got up and went to Mika 
Im Ok Mika said then collapsed
Gosunkugi went to Mika and touched the wound on his shoulder healing it.  
Mika stirred 
Come on lets get Akane and Cologne 
Mika went to Akane Shaking her
Akane groaned but came to
Did we win? She asked Mika nodded
We won Come one lets get Ranma and go home
Gosunkugi went to Cologne and Holding up the white ball said
Tendo Dojo and disappeared
Akane staggered over to the unconscious Ranma 
Holding him she said 
Tendo Dojo And vanished
Mika surveyed the now empty hall he went over to Reg and Clares bodies. He concentrated and In his hands a white ball of ki formed throwing it the walls and floor started catching fire he went to the bodies holding them he spoke
Tendo dojo
 There was a flash of white and he vanished.

Soun and Genma couldnt believe it there they were playing go when all of a sudden a half-naked Ukyo carrying P-Chan in her top appeared. From Genmas View it was obvious what was happening there was a fight and Ukyo had been hurt and sent back. Kasumi was checking over Ukyo who was in obvious pain. 
Youve broken a few ribs Kasumi said
A few minutes later Shampoo was there as well carrying Mousse in duck form. Shampoo was cut in a few places and deeply in another few Kasumi bandaged her as best she could. Kasumi threw hot water over Ryouga and Mousse who both were deeply unconscious 
Nabiki was trying to find out what had happened. Kodatchi came after Shampoo holding Kuno blood streaming down her leg. Kasumi immediately went over to her and started to bandage the wound. Gosunkugi came holding Cologne Shampoo went over to her great grand mother when Akane came in her clothing was torn and her neck had been bitten blood still trickled down she was also holding Ranma. Mika came after that his arm hung limp from his shoulder. Kasumi had made tea, which everyone accepted.
Wheres Dr Tofu? Kasumi asked as she tended to Akanes neck wound
Mika looked around
He went to the hospital Kasumi I checked already Gosunkugi said Hell be fine after a while he got stabbed in the side severing his artery but hes ok now 
Kasumi seemed a bit worried but otherwise there was nothing different about her.
So when do we change the back
Now Gosunkugi said Lets do this in the dojo
They all sat down in the dojo.
Gosunkugi concentrated and his grimiore appeared in his hand he drew runes on the dojo floor with white chalk in a circular form
I hope that the chalk doesnt stain Said Kasumi
No worry about that okay now lets do Mousse first they dragged Mousses limp body in the centre of the circle. 
Mousse didnt stir and Gosunkugi started Chanting the circle started glowing white and Mousse started to thrash his body spasming. His eyes opened and he screamed a black smoke flew from his mouth and disappeared Mousses stretched out and collapsed unconscious.
He will be fine but he will sleep for a whole day Cologne nodded and Shampoo held Mousse supporting his head in her lap. Cologne frowned at this but said nothing.
Now Ryouga Gosunkugi said
Ryouga was pulled but Soun and Genma into the circle.
Gosunkugi chanted and the same thing happened to Ryouga he cried out his voice full of anguish and then he stopped and fell unconscious. Ukyo held him in her lap his face peaceful 
Now Kuno Genma and Soun dragged Kuno to the circle
Kuno screamed as he was changed his cries made Kodatchi flinch as if in pain when it subsided Kodatchi held him.
Lastly Ranma Ranma was put in the centre. And Gosunkugi started chanting Mika looked at Ranma his body was twitching as Gosunkugi chanted his muscles spasmed.  What was going wrong Gosunkugis chanting increased in volume and power Mika knew what was happening. He spoke 
Its resisting
Sweat showed on Gosunkugi forehead as he spoke the words of power. Ranma screamed and thrashed shuddering Black smoke came from his mouth but it was not the quantity that had come from Ryouga and Mousse or Kuno. Mika shook his head this isnt gonna work. Gosunkugis voice reached a trill and Ranma cried out as more smoke issued forth. Gosunkugi then collapsed. 
Ive done all I can Gosunkugi said
What do you mean Akane said
Ranma drank too much of the queens blood so he is now tainted Mika said
Believe me I know
What does this mean Akane said
It means Ranma is sort of a vampire yet not a vampire. 
What will Ranma be like Akane said close to tears
Mika sighed
He will be like he was Akane but he will also have to contend with the vampire blood in him now they all will have too there are minute traces in Mousse Kuno and Ryouga but Ranma has that little bit more. I dont know what he will be like fully Akane well know when he wakes. They were all shocked after all that Akane started to cry.
look Akane it happened to me hopefully itll happen to Ranma Mika said he then looked around and sat down
You can ask me the questions that I know you want to ask 
Cologne spoke first
What are you Mika
Mika sighed
What I am is a long story I was adopted into the vampire family about 100 years ago the queen adopted me I was just a boy from the streets and as I grew I called her mother. Mikas eyes looked far away however eventually I became bored with vampire life and it was then I met a mortal whom I loved she was a hunter 
Was it love at first site Nabiki said
Actually she tried to kill me Mika smiled But eventually she came to love me as well. He sighed But I need to be mortal in order to live with her there was always that fear that I could kill her. So we found this mystic she had enough power to convert me to human in a way anyway. I was like Ranma too far gone so I became as I am I havent aged in over 80 years since I married her the mystic was later killed by the Queen I stayed with my wife till she dies 50 years later by a vampire it was then I decided to become a vampire hunter. Only those closest to me knew what I was. He looked at them And now you know
What are the days of Fire? Gosunkugi said
I dont know much about that but what I do know is this Mika cleared his throat
A long time ago vampires werewolves and creatures of chaos ruled but these were overthrown in a rebellion by humans. After this they consulted an oracle if they would rule again it told them that the earliest time possible will be from now in about under two years. Now let me see if I remember it right. The people chosen by destiny will come together in the eye of the world there the energy of the universe shall appear the choice will be placed on the destiny child his choice shall change the world. I dont remember the rest sorry Mika said
And Ranma is one of them? Ukyo said
Thats what the vampires thought but I dont know anymore I thought it was a legend Mika said 
So these days of Fire are when Chaos ruled? Cologne said
Yep Mika said now I think we should go to the hospital Mika then pitched forwards unconscious Kasumi called an ambulance for Mika and the others who were injured and for Ranma Ryouga Mousse and Kuno.


When Mika came too he saw his chest bandaged and felt sore in many places his arm felt useless by his side. He blinked clearing his vision 
How are you feeling said a voice
Mika turned towards it
Hi Dr Tofu I see your ok Mika replied
Yes I got stabbed by the last blow of the lieutenant I fought 
Where the others?
Back at the Tendo dojo Ukyo, Shampoo, Akane and Kodatchi are in the womens wing
Mika swallowed
Clare and Regs bodies? 
In the morgue you can take them when you feel better.
Thanks doc 
So howre Ranma and the others
Mika explained to him about what happened when he left and what now Ranma and the others are.
When will they wake up? Dr Tofu asked
Gosunkugi said in about another 12 hrs I think 
Mikas chest felt like it was on fire the wound the lieutenant gave him was healing though and the Queen Vampires stab wound was also healing.
Well lets see the girls Mika said

Mika walked next to Dr Tofu his Arm was in a sling as he past the doors. Ukyo, Shampoo, Kodatchi and Akane were arguing, although Mika couldnt tell why he heard bits of the conversation something to do with cooking?
Hi girls Mika said as he came into view
Hi Mika They said in a chorus
Howre you feeling? Mika said to Ukyo who had suffered the most wounds in her fight with Ryouga
Better now theyll letting us go in a few hours so we can see Ranma wake up
Mika nodded
You? Ukyo asked
Ive been better
Akane had a bandage around her neck
Whatll you do now? She asked him
Mika shrugged 
I dont know Ill probably be assigned to another country
Mika sat down
You liked Clare and Reg didnt you? Akane asked
They were my friends it always hurts when a friend died but we knew this mission was a suicide mission.
Then why take it? Ukyo asked
Because Ranma and the others increased the vampires powers too much and Mika sighed I am tired Ukyo I have lived a century and known great joy and great sadness I just wanted to die in a blaze of glory. But not now from what Gosunkugi said Ill be needed soon He then talked to them about what they must do when the others awoke

Later on everyone was released from Hospital

Mika stood by Mousse everyone waited Mousse started to stir, He opened his eyes they were normal. 
Wha..? Mousse said and then paled he remembered what had happened how he drank blood and killed innocent people he felt worthless and bile coming up his throat.
Breath deeply Mousse Said the boy Mousse had seen as the hunter Mika.

Mika looked to Shampoo and indicated with his head what she must do.
It Ok Mousse you no hurt Shampoo Shampoo said kneeling by him
Mousse looked at her and felt even worse he hurt her. 
Mousse stop you no in control you better now. Shampoo said continuing.
Mousse said nothing but stopped crying looking at shampoo he drew himself up

Shampoo nodded
Ryouga started to stir
Ryouga didnt open his eyes but weeped openly he remembered it all how he taunted that girl before he killed her. A green glow emanated around Ryouga he killed the innocent and glorified in there blood he hurt Ukyo. He opened his eyes

Epilogue 

A few days after Mika said his goodbyes his arm was healed and was going to fight werewolves and vampires in China. Gosunkugi also said his goodbyes and said he was going to England although he didnt say why.
Mousse went back to the nekohanten, he didnt seem to show any thing vampire like but Mika said that they were there. Kuno went back to Kodatchi where Sasuke had kept there home clean he didnt chase Ranma girl form or Akane for a few days or even come to school saying he had to cleanse his soul of the evil that stained it. Ryouga went with Ukyo to Ucchans taking care of her because he had hurt her. Ranma didnt look any different but there was something that people could see that was different about him, there was also a difference in Ranma and Akanes relationship that people could see but couldnt find out about. Not even Nabiki could find out what had happened although see could guess. 

This wasnt the end though
