In a burst of smoke and light, two figures were nearly catapulted into the floor before her. Both of them were slightly oriental in appearance, similar to the ninja and samurai clans of Jade. And one of them was quite obviously not human, or at least not completely so...
"Where the hell are we, kid?" the white-haired non-human demanded irritably.
"I just got sneezed through a cosmic nasal, how should I know?!" the other demanded. Both were speaking Japanese, but as Theo's translation spell was still in effect about the area, she didn't notice that.
And then both of them noticed her. The black-haired human started turning bright red and looked away for some reason as the other hmphed.
"What are you staring at wench?" the non-human demanded. "Why don't you get dressed and bring us to the lord of this place!" This attracted a suddenly turning head from the other.
Julia looked down and, as she did so, remembered that she hadn't quite finished closing her bathrobe. She frowned and glared up at the two males as she fastened her bathrobe securely closed.
"Ahhh, mannnn," the black-haired one said.

"Who was that?" Jetta asked.
"My fiancee's sister..." Nabiki said hesitantly, cupping her mug of coffee in both hands. "No, my sister's fiance. He...He's a good guy. I like to tease him...never had a little brother before..."
"I'm not sure you should be involving your friends in this..." Jetta said.
"And a few weeks ago he tore a god limb from limb," Nabiki added with a distinctly hard edge that was closer to her original tone of voice. "He'll...he'll do...what's needed."
"Okay, that might be useful..." Jetta admitted. "Did he say how he was coming?"
The sound of wood cracking caught the attention of both werewolves. It was followed by an immediate grunt of pain and an exclamation.
"Hey, it was an accident lady!"
"Wench! How dare you! Prepare to die!"
"Not hardly junior!" This was followed by a heavy sounding thud.
"That'd be him," Nabiki said in a mix of resignation and relief.
"You're not helping dog-boy!"
"Shut up, whelp!"
"Both of you get out of my house!"
Jetta almost catapulted out of her chair, but was held back as Nabiki grabbed onto her.
"I'm just...," Jetta sighed. "Oh come on!"
The scene of the fight was quickly found and neither Ranma nor Inu-Yasha were doing too well it seemed, probably a lot of that was because Ranma was obviously holding back and trying to explain matters. He might even have been successful were it not for his travelling companion's choice of words and actions.
Upon seeing Ranma, Nabiki's clinging to Jetta at least partially stopped and she ran forward to grab onto him.
"Ranma!" she sobbed, hugging the now much smaller boy and leaning into him as she started to break down again.
"Ehh?" Julia asked as she looked up from where she had Inu-Yasha pinned to the floor with an arm-lock. "You know these two?"
"Nabiki?" Ranma gasped. "You're..." He sighed, and despite much training against such a thing, he returned Nabiki's desperate hug. "It's okay, I'll get the guy."
"Apparently this one is going to be Nabiki's brother-in-law," Jetta said by way of explanation. "Don't know about the demon spawn."
"If you hags'd let me up!" Inu-Yasha growled. "I'd explain things!"
"Hags!?!" Jetta and Julia said at once.
The next thing Inu-Yasha saw was darkness.

"So we know of at least one more of Brendan's captives," Theo said. "You said she had a lot of power? She'd make a dangerous opponent."
"Feh," Inu-Yasha said. "The day Kagome answers to someone else is the day the mountains fart."
"That's...colorful," Brianna noted with a look of distaste. "Where's this Ranma guy anyway?"
"He's with Jetta and Nabiki," Julia said.
"We still have the question of who else does Brendan have?" Theo said. "Gina have you warned the women you can think of that he'd target."
"Most," Gina said. "There were some we couldn't reach..."
"Who?" Julia asked.

A match flared into life revealing the forms in the darkness for a moment as fingers brought the brand to the rolled up piece of paper in the holder's feminine, yet furred lips.
"Master?" Selina Masters said with a sly smirk. "What do you wish of us?"
Behind the bewitching werewolf stood three other weres. A school girl wearing a headband and martial arts gloves. A black-furred were in a gymnast's leotard. And another blonde with a pink hat and outfit.
"Next we...
