"...Your standard apparitions from hell."
Susano O paused waiting for a response, but all he got was a blank stare from the red head.
"Basically they're dead human souls given power who cause chaos in the human world, trying to free dear old mom, Izanagi, from the underworld."
Ranma stared at him in disbelief. "Wha-, you mean to tell me that all of this shit has to do with a stupid family dispute!?"
The god just grinned. "I know, aint it a kick in the balls?"
Ranma started grinding his teeth trying to keep from exploding out.
"Hey, why doesn't that sister of yours just get rid of them herself?" he snarled out as he chugged more liquor.
The god's grin just got wider. "Let me ask you something little disciple. Why would a god bother with cannon fodder?" he paused, stopping to put out his cigarette.
"Most gods are so caught up with themselves, they don't care about the the problems of others and create little pawns like you to do battle for them. My sister is one of these gods. He paused again to amuse himself with the look of on Ranma's face as the implications sunk in. He scowled at the look of disinterest Ranma was wearing as he took another swig at his flask and hit him up the side of his head to get his attention.
"As I was saying, My sister is so self absorbed that she locked herself in a cave for thousands of years because of a hissy fit. But did she notice she brought about eternal darkness? No. Did she care what it did to everyone else and more importantly, me? No. It's always about her. Heck Amaterasu-baka still hasn't noticed I'm talking to you and took out he little demon she sent."
As Susano O finished his rant, the vacant drunk look on his face suddenly sharpened.
"What do you mean by 'little demon'?" asked Ranma.
Susano O's eyes widened in being reminded of that detail. "Oh, she just sent some demon to beat you into admitting you need her power. It was just some chump, something you as my disciple could easily take care of, but I bet she doesn't even know that much. Honesty, that girl just thinks everything revolves around her..."
Ranma ignored his ranting as his mind was in turmoil. He was being manipulated. Used.
Again.
His father has been manipulating him all of his life to better his own life. The amazon's wanted to manipulate him for his bloodline. Ryoga and the rest of his rivals were using him as an excuse for all of their problems. Ukyou was manipulating their friendship. Nabiki was always manipulating him for a quick buck. Akane was using him as a trophy. Hell, Soun had used him to get rid of a few of his problems.
Happosai manipulates and uses everyone so he really didn't count...but his mother...his mother had manipulated him with the gods and gave him all of this misery and grief. If it were not for them, he could of had a normal life. He would not have been a freak. He would not have had to deal with Jusendo with the Amazons, Musk and Pheonix people.
He would have been able to fully love...Akane. Ranma's hands started to bleed from his grip as his aura had slowly sprung to life blazing violently.
Susano O smirked at the increasingly chaotic aura Ranma was dishing out. "So What are you going to do now knowing your are just fate's bitch?"
Ranma contemplatively stared at the flask before taking another swig at it. "There's one thing I haven't tried yet. Happo-go-en-satsu"
The god didn't even have time to blink as his access to heaven was diverted and his energy drained to the point where he crumpled on the ground. He barely had the energy to even glare at Ranma. "You tricky son of a bitch, You're actually -"
Cold blue eyes stared at him radiating unbelievable power. Unbelievable power which belonged to HIM. "Ya know, the trauma of learning that my curse, my troubles, and my pain for the past year are all because of some bastard gods and my mother of all people..."
SLASH!
"...makes the neko-ken seem so damn insignificant."
And Ranma walked away, leaving Susano O dazed with three claw marks running down his torso. Despite his momentary lack of energy, Susano O couldn't help but smirk.
"Heh, That's one way to do it."
meanwhile...
