Please excuse the 61 in the heading of my last post, I must have typed the
wrong number it should have been 6 only. ^ . ^
Note: I don't know what HS Yusuke goes to (does he even go to HS in the
Show?). I'm making Yusuke's HS a Junior High/High school (i.e. The HS and JS
are in the same building and have the same admin and some of the same
teachers but the students don't really mingle.)
I don't know the name of Kagome's Shrine (If I spelled her family name wrong
someone please tell me) so I just called it her Family name, in the
translated Manga they call it the Sunset Shrine I won't use that....
I have tried to use the Japanese names for all the anime; except for Pokemon
and MegaMan, and that is because I am not familiar with the Japanese names in
those shows/games.
Also, assume that all the stories are after the show/game ended (except
InuYasha and Pokemon (show) cause they have not ended yet, they will be will
be a dirvergances) .
The ages are:
Kagome=17,
Ranma=18,
Yusuke=16,
Ash=14 (almost 15),
Usagi=17,
Rock=16 (almost 17).
The people around them age adjust accordingly.

Tale to Tell
Chapter 1
When Ranma got home from school that day, his mother called him into the
solarium. She was sitting on a lounge, with the windows open to the garden.
She indicated that he should find a seat as well; he sat on the floor facing
her.
"Ranma, I have something to tell you about our family," she began. "My father
is a Dog Demon, my mother is a Fox Demon that he met years ago. His current
wife is however, a reincarnation of a human that he knew 400 years ago. She
became a second mother to me when my blood mother died."
"So I'm part Demon?" Ranma mused; the look on his face was contemplative. "Is
that why I'm so strong?"
"Yes, you are part Demon; but no, your strength is your human power. When you
were born we used a spell on you to keep your Demon power and heritage from
showing, so your father wouldn't get any bright ideas...." She saw the look
on his face. "I gather he still got some bright ideas?" she asked dryly.
"Yeah. . . the Neko Ken was one."
"I have heard of the Neko Ken. I will have to speak to your father about
that...." she clenched her hand as if she was still holding her sword. "Well,
the spell keeps your Demon power hidden until and unless you are in mortal
danger, then you gain the healing of the Demons and get a power up... a
second wind if you will."
"Ahhh, I was wondering what gave me that boost at Phoenix Mountain. There was
also something that happened when I first got cursed...."
"What was that, son?" she asked.
"Well, when I finally caught up with oyaji, after we got cursed, I somehow
transformed into a fox-like creature- at least that is what the guide said, I
was not noticing. The guide then told me that the spring that is fell into
was originally labeled as "Spring of Drowned Fox Spirit" but
when people and animals fell in they turned into human girls. I was the only
one to actually manifest Demon power. Maybe that is because of my Demon
Heritage?" he looked quizzically at his mother.
"Maybe... however, Right now I need to lift the spell on you so you can use
your power fully. Also my half sister and her son are coming to visit in a
few weeks." "Really? I have always wondered what the rest of our family is
like."
"Now that you know all this I'm going to release the spell on you... you
should be able to maintain your human form by suppressing your Youki."
She chanted a spell that ended in a crescendo of power. Ranma, for a few
minutes, gained Dog-like ears and a fox's Tail, white hair, and yellow eyes-
then he faded back to normal, grinning that he got the hang of suppressing
his power so quickly.
"You know? If I wasn't used to strange things in my life I'd be freaking out
right now?"
"Yes, son, I know...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yusuke walked into Genkai's shrine and noticed that he was the last one
there, but then everyone knew that he walked Keiko home everyday.
"Hi," he looked around, "Uh, Kurama, you what's wrong you look spooked...."
His read-haired friend looked at him, "well aside from seeing a human do a
standing jump to the roof of the school . . . nothing. Oh, and the girls now
have someone new to chase, but... he is the one who jumped."
"People can't do that...." started Kuwabara.
"Chi masters can," Genkai interrupted. "If someone trains long and hard
enough in Martial Arts they can. You all use Youki or Reiki, but Chi is
something that anyone with enough practice can use. Also you all can use it
but since you don't train it, using it can kill you."
"So? He isn't a Demon and even if he is one and grew up human, he isn't
trying to hurt people, most of the time Martial Artists try to help people.
Therefore he isn't our enemy. Kurama keep an eye one him he might become an
ally," stated Yusuke.
"Hai, I'll keep an eye on him- he did have a faint scent of Demon on him, but
if he is one, he hasn't used his power in a long time. I'll get to know him
as well- it would be easier to get his help if he is a friend to begin with."
"Just make sure he doesn't become an enemy."
"Yoshi."
"Now to train...."
The four young Reikai- Tante, and one psychic went to the training grounds
and started training.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango and Miroku met Kagome and InuYasha after school. They went to a
Cafe/Arcade that Sango had found in Juban. As they were sitting in a booth
eating, InuYasha looked up from a flyer that he was reading.
"Sesshomaru is still alive; he is a powerful businessman." InuYasha looked
around the table. "It also seems that little Rin is still alive as well- she
is his wife, at least I think that is her in the picture."
"Sess... but he hated humans. Is he trying to take over the world?" asked
Sango.
"I don't get that impression. I think that he is helping humans and Demons to
live together in peace. After all, even my brother should realize that is
this time humans have many more destructive weapons at their disposal than
they did in the 16th century. Also, he is the one who convinced Kikyo to help
us, remember?"
"So... you think we should contact him?" asked Kagome.
"Maybe; I do want to know if he still hates me."
As the four friends were discussing how best to approach Sesshomaru, another
group of friends entered the Cafe/Arcade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five girls walked into the restaurant. The one with black hair was yelling at
the blond that had her hair in an odd style. The other girls were nodding in
agreement with what the black-haired girl was saying. The blond, to her
credit, was ignoring the taunts and insults. However, you could tell that she
was very angry.
"Look, if you can't be nice, I'm leaving," the blond said with exasperation
in her voice. "I really shouldn't have to take this from people who say that
they are my friends."
"Usagi!! You shouldn't talk to you friends like that!!" exclaimed the
brunette.
"Sometimes I wonder...." Usagi replied and walked away before another round
could start.
As she was walking, she noticed a group of people sitting at a back booth.
'Wonder who they are?' she thought to herself. As she started by, the younger
girl of the group smiled at her. Usagi decided to smile back- she walked over
to them and bowed.
"Hi! I'm Usagi; are you new in town?"
"I'm Kagome," the girl said. "We're from the Nerima border. My friend Sango,"
she indicated the other girl, "found this place a few days ago."
"Glad to meet you. So, who are the cute guys?" asked Usagi.
"Oh, the long haired guy is InuYasha. The shorthaired guy is Miroku. What
about them?" She first indicated her male companions in turn, then indicated
the group of girls that had caught up to Usagi.
Usagi turned around and noticed her so-called friends. "They are friends... I
think! They are Rei, Minako, Makoto, and Ami." she gestured to each "friend"
in turn.
"Usagi, I'm getting some weird vibes from them." said Rei in a low tone.
"So? I don't get bad vibes from them." Replied Usagi.
"But, they could be Youma...." persisted Rei.
"Hello... we are sitting right here..." interrupted Kagome. "Your Reiki is
strong, but you aren't focused enough to tell whether or not what you are
sensing is truly evil or just shadow. And shadow does not necessarily mean
evil...."
"What do you know? I'm the Miko at the Hiwaka Jinja."
"You want to play that game? I'm the Miko at the Higurashi Jinja. I know at
least as much as you, and, I have fought Demons and truly evil humans
before." Kagome countered.
"Well, I...."
"Can it, Rei. I don't want to fight, and no matter how weird they feel to
you, they haven't done anything.... unless eating is evil these days."
interrupted Usagi.
"No, but...."
"NO BUTS!!! Just leave it be. I'm leaving." Usagi walked out of the Cafe and
vanished into the foot traffic on the street.
"That was weird... I wonder if she is feeling alright?" Makoto commented.
Kagome looked at the friends, then at her friends. "Let's go." She stood up,
her friends followed her, she paid for their food at the counter and they
also vanished into the street traffic outside.
The girls that were left behind just stared....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ash was walking through Blackthorn City, Misty had gone to fish for some new
Pokemon, and Brock had gone to Dark Cave with the same idea, minus the
fishing. Ash decided that he
was going to get supplies for the rest of his journey back home. He had
decided to visit his mother for a few weeks he just hadn't told Brock and
Misty yet. He also wasn't planning to invite them... he wanted time alone.
Ash went to the PokeMart; he walked around, picking and choosing what he
would need for his journey; he knew his mother wanted to tell him something,
and his 15th birthday was soon. He left the PokeMart, after he paid, and went
back to the PokemonCenter, by the time he got to the Center Brock and Misty
had already gotten back.
"Ash, where were you?!" exclaimed Misty. She grabbed his arm and dragged him
down the hall.
"Aaahhhh!!! Let go, I was just walking around town. What is wrong with
you?!!!" Ash yanked his arm out of Misty's grip, and went to their shared
room.
Brock looked up from reading a letter from home. "Why are you yelling, Ash?"
"You would be too, if someone latched on to your arm and dragged you around
like some doll." He turned to Misty. "Why do you care where I've been?"
"Hrumph, because we all know that you can't take care of yourself." Misty
crossed her arms, and Brock nodded.
Ash stared at them, "Well, if you think so little of me... Pikachu, we're
sleeping somewhere else tonight, I want nothing more to do with them." Ash
grabbed his backpack, and left the PokemonCenter with Pikachu on his
shoulder.
Misty and Brock ran out after him, but by the time they got over their shock,
he was long gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During school, Rock had heard about the two 'thugs' of the High School he was
attending- he even met them. They had seemed nice enough if you did not
demean them.
When Roll came home from school she was full of tales about the two cutest
guys in school; Suichi Minnimino and Ranma Saotome. Ranma had also started
that day, and she also told how she saw Ranma jump to the roof of the
building. Rock did not believe her at first, but their father said that it
was possible with intense training.
Rock hoped that he could meet this here guy 'Ranma', but now it was time to
look for Wiley. He and Rush went out to patrol the city.
