"Would you really give anything?" Came a voice from out of nowhere.
Ryoga was bewildered. He would have sworn that he was alone out here. "Who's there!?" And that was when Ryoga saw him. The man jumped out from the trees and landed before him. "M, Mr. Tendo!?"
Ryoga blinked as he saw Soun Tendo. The Patriarch of the Tendo Clan looked... 'Different' somehow. It was then Ryoga realized something. Soun's 'hair' looked as though it was fine black feathers, and his eyes... They were pure yellow with slits. "Mr. Tendo?"
Soun smiled. "I'll ask you again. Would you do anything to be with my little girl?"
(------)
Shampoo grumbled as she sped around on her bicycle to make her deliveries. She hadn't seen Ranma in three days. That was just a 'too too long time without Airen' for the little Amazon.
Finally, Shampoo came upon her destination. The park. Why would anybody order take out in a park? "Hello? Who Order Nekohanten?"
"Over here!" Came a voice from a man sitting on a bench.
Shampoo bounded over to the man. "Okay, Shampoo here with order of spicey ramen... noodles?" Shampoo finished lamely. "Is Genma? Why black eyes?"
Genma 'humphed'. In human form he now had dark circles around both his eyes, and, surprisingly, he had a litle less weight. "Well, Shampoo... How would you like to marry my boy?"
Shampoo's eyes lit up at hearing that.
(------)
Konatsu sighed as he took out the garbage from the Ucchan's. "It's just not fair... I try so hard to ger Ukyo-sama's attention, and now I lose out to Kodachi..."
Konatsu let out another sigh as he threw the garbage bag into the the dumpster. "Still, I wish I could get her to notice me..."
"I think that could be arranged..." Came a male voice.
Konatsu turned his head to see a blonde-haire dman standing by the street. "Who are you?"
The man smiled and looked at Konatsu with his purple eyes. "A friend."
(------)
Dr. Ono Tofu sat in a bar stool. He looked pretty defeated. He had seen Kasumi, and it saddened him. She was a weretigress now. Apparently, she has made love to a weretiger, and besides becoming a Lycanthrope herself, she was now in love with him.
"I lost out..." Tofu muttered. "I waited too long... I lost out..." Tofu said before slamming back his drink.
"Need help, old friend?" Came a voice from a man that then sat next to Dr. Tofu.
Turning his head, Dr. Ono Tofu could barely make out the man, as his vision was blurry. He did however, recognize the voice. "Soun?"
"Yes, old friend..."
(------)
Ryuu Kumon growled as he was sent flying back. The Kijin Raishu Dan was such a powerful move, and he had barely time to dodge it. "DAMN YOU, SAOTOME!"
Genma smiled as he walked up to the downed fighter. "And how would you like to learn that?"
Ryu blinked his eyes. "What?"
"Yes," Genma said, "I am willing to teach you. However," He smiled, "There are certain criteria that must be fulfilled first."
(------)
Taro mooed in pain as he was sent falling out of the sky. Whoever this Kitsune was, he was getting in Taro's nerves.
Jadeite landed near the crash site of the fallen Pantyhose Taro. "So you're Pantyhose Taro? Somehow, I expected more..."
Taro tried to stand up. He was mooing in primal fury.
Jadeite smiled. "I know of your plight to try and defeat Happosai so that he will change your name. How would you like me to help?"
Taro stopped trying to attack. He nodded his head.
(------)
Tatewaki Kuno sat as he listened to what Soun had to say. So you honestly would intend to have me marry your daughter?"
"Of course." Soun lied through his teeth. "After all, Akane needs someone with better resources, er, I mean resourcfulness at being a passionate, caring human being than Ranma."
Kuno nodded. "Yes. I think I would be a much better busband for the dearest Akane Tendo than... Grr... that ruffian Ranma Saotome! SASUKE!"
The ninja retainer appeared by Tatewaki. "Yes, Master Kuno?"
"Retrieve my... Brr... 'Father'. I wish to have him deal with the Patriarch of the Saotome Clan..."
(------)
Mousse was nodding his head happily. "You mean you'll really help me to get Shampoo as my Bride!?" Asked the myopic fighter.
"Of course!" Genma said. "I want Ranma to marry Akane. He shouldn't be with Shampoo, after all."
Mousse was estatic and was jumping up and down for joy. "YES! YES! I'LL DO ANYTHING TO BE WITH SHAMPOO!!!"
Genma smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."
(------)
Gosunkugi blinked. "You mean I could really gain the strength to defeat Saotome and gain the admiration of Akane Tendo?"
"For the thousandth time, YES!!!" Jadeite screamed.
(------)
Claudius looked over the sleeping Lycanthrope that were laying down on the floor of his throne-room. The change that Claudius performed was tiring on a larger group of people, than it was for a few. "You did excellent work in gathering new soldiers, my generals."
Jadeite, now in hybrid form, stood tall and proud as his two tails swished back and forth. "No problem, my liege. I wanted to gain vengeance as soon as possible."
Genma, also in hybrid form now, nodded his head. "It was a tough task, but it wasn'tt too hard to manipulate some of the people into doing what you wanted, oh great master Claudius."
Claudis sweat-dropped. Boy, this lard of panda fat sure was laying the praise on thick.
Soun smirked spread his wings. "But rememebr, Saotome, I was the one that got THREE recruits with one stop."
Genma grumbled.
Claudius considered the new weres. It wasn't hard for the Jusenkyo cursed individuals. As he did with Genma, he could use their cursed forms for their new hybrid forms. Shampoo would be a werecat, Mousse a Wereduck, Taro a werechimera, and Ryoga a wereboar.
It also wasn't too hard to change Konatsu and Ryuu Kumon. The two already had some Lycanthrope ancestry that all Claudius had to do was bring it to teh forefront. Ryuu apparently had a weretiger ancestors, and so changing him into a weretiger wasn't too hard.
Konatsu was a differnt case. Konatsu was a Kitsune who's soul was dormant. However, as Claudius unlocked the soul, he had gotten a surprise. It was a female soul in a male host. That wasn't too surprising for Claudius though, he had seen it happen before with Greyson, teh two-tailed Forest Kitsune of the Eastern Edge Guard, with his female sopul of Priscilla. Hell, Claudius himself was a male spirit that was once in a female host.
The others, however, Claudius had to put some thought into. Using the knowledge and information that Genma and Soun had given him, he changed them to his liking, and what he thought would best fit them.
The Kuno bunch would become somewhat troubled with in-fighting. Tatewaki was a Werezebra, Sasuke his faithful wererabbit retainer, and principal Kuno would be... Well... A crazy werecrocodile. "I hope the Principal doesn't try to eat some of the others..." Claudius thought with a bit of dread.
Then there was finally Hikaru Gosunkugi. After some time, Claudisu decided to make the guy at least a half-way decent threat and changed him into what Soun was. A Tengu. At least now the scraggly boy had more muscle and would have some skill.
Now all there was t do was to wait for his new soldiers to awaken.
