Yeah I know, it's one big crossover, but hey I thought it would work. Anyway, read on and get ready for some surprises.

And I don't own the cursed springs of Jusenkyo. They belong to Ranma 1/2 and it's creator, Rumiko Takahashi.

Spike opened his eyes to find himself facing Serenity. She seemed to have that "I have a secret" look on her face.

"What can I do for you?" he asked groggily from his bed.

Serenity rolled her eyes and whistled. "Nothing really. I wanted something, but it's such a little thing. I don't think it really matters." she giggled.

Spike was no sucker, but nevertheless, he was taken in. She was clearly hiding something. He sat up in his bed and said "Come on, tell me. I want to know."

Serenity smirked. "Sorry, not telling!" she said.

"Please? Not even a hint?" Spike asked.

"Nope!"

Spike glared slightly. "One way or another, you're going to tell me." he said irritably.

Serenity beamed and said "What are you going to do to me, mister macho? I'm not afraid of you!"

"I could tell your brother about what you've been up to." Spike said, returning her smile. As he expected, Serenity's smile faded immediately.

"That's not fair! You're no fun!" she pouted.

"Hey! Inuyasha!" Spike called from his room. "Your sister is hiding something from me and she isn't-"

Serenity jumped on him and covered his mouth. "Alright, alright I'll tell you, just for god's sake don't tell him!" she yelled frantically.

Spike gently took her arms in his hand and set her down. "Calm down. Just tell me what's on your mind."

"Well," Serenity said, "me and my brother were considering going out for a bit of training. We practice martial arts you know. I think I heard someone mention you did Kung Fu as well, so we were wondering if you wanted to come with us!"

"Where are you going anyway?" Spike asked.

"It may sound stupid, but we're going to Jusenkyo!"

Spike blinked. "Jusenkyo? But that's all the way in China! How can we make it their in one day?"

Serenity smiled again. "We have our ways. We're demons you know."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, I guess I'll come." Spike said, getting out of bed. Just as he got to his feet however, he froze.

"You said Jusenkyo, right?" he asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Serenity asked, puzzled on why he would be worried like this.

"You don't mean the cursed springs of Jusenkyo do you? I thought that place was just a myth!"

"Oh no, it's a real place, alright! Inuyasha and me have been there before! So have some friends of mine." Serenity replied. "We went there because it was the best place to train. Unfortunately Inuyasha had a little accident there."

"Define 'accident' please." Spike said.

Serenity laughed and waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, it's nothing really! I'll tell you all about it some other time!" she said anxiously. She left through the way she had come in, Spike following close behind.

A bit later, Serenity, Inuyasha, Spike and Canti stood at the shores of Japan, looking out in the direction of China. There were no modes of sea transportation anywhere nearby, so Spike wondered how they could possibly get there.

"What are we going to do? Swim there?" he asked sarcastically.

"Not exactly." Serenity said, taking out a leaf from her pocket.

"What are you going to do with a-" Spike began, and then got the biggest surprise of his life.

In a puff of smoke, the leaf Serenity was holding grew to a size that was roughly the size of a canoe. Serenity sat on the front of it, Inuyasha on the back. Spike's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, but he quickly restrained himself. He had seen so much lunacy as of late, that he was beginning to learn to just accept the weirdness that came his way.

The leaf rose into the air. Spike looked up at the two demon siblings and called up to them "And what about me?" As if to answer his question, Canti lay stomach down on the ground and then rose into a air a few feet. Spike looked at him.

"I'm supposed to ride him?" he asked. Serenity nodded. Spike climbed onto the robots back, and then Canti rose into the air until he was level with Serenity and Inuyasha.

"Spike!" Inuyasha yelled. "I suggest you hold on tight!"

"What are you-" Spike began.

And then suddenly, the robot and the leaf shot off into the horizon at top speed.

(3)

Inuyasha wasn't kidding. Spike did have to hold on tight as he shot through the air. Within a short period of time, the shoreline had become a tiny thing in the distance. Then later, it disappeared entirely.

Spike began to call to Serenity to ask how long it would take them to get to China, but as he turned his head from where Japan had been, he saw a rather large seagull coming into view. By some sick twist of fate, it happened to be right in front of him. Spike had only enough time to widen his eyes when all of a sudden there was a loud smack followed by a spray of feathers and squawking. Spike was sent reeling backwards with such force that he fell off. Fortunately as he fell, he grabbed hold of Canti's legs with his arms.

Spike spat out a mouthful of feathers and gasped. He had not been anticipating them to go this fast. Oh well. The only advantage to this madness was that like the other oddities he had witnessed, it would be over soon.

Spike almost didn't realize it, but his legs were dangling close to the water. Eventually they dipped into the water. Spike sighed as his feet were dragged through the water. It was so relaxing, and it took his mind off of the seagull. Maybe this wasn't so bad after all.

Spike continued to let the water soothe him, until he felt a series of burning stings in one leg, and the feeling of something constricting his other leg. Instinctively, he used his arms to flip himself back up on Canti's back. When he saw his legs, Spike almost screamed at what he saw.

Clinging to his left leg were three jellyfish. They were continuing to sting his leg, and each time was more painful then the last. Even worse, his right leg was being constricted by a sea snake, and a poisonous one from the design of its scale colors. When it saw Spike, it opened its mouth and hissed, exposing a pair of sharp fangs.

Being careful not to provoke the snake further, Spike carefully grabbed the jellyfish off of his left leg, being sure to hold them from their tops and not their tentacles. He quickly tossed them over and into the sea.

The sea snake was a different story entirely. Every time Spike reached for it, the snake would snap at his hand. So Spike settled for the next best thing. He turned around, gripping Canti's shoulders as much as he could, and slammed his leg repeatedly against Canti's leg. Eventually, the snake let go and dropped into the ocean. Spike breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he did, Canti came to an abrupt halt. Spike was only holding on with one arm, so the moment the robot stopped he went flying forward. There was a loud crash as he flew face first into a large rock.

"Well, we're here!" Serenity called, jumping down with her brother. As she landed, the leaf turned back into a normal leaf. "So where's Spike?" she asked.

"Over here." Spike mumbled, standing up from his impact with the rock. Blood was running out of his nose.

Inuyasha sighed. "I told you to hold on! Next time, listen to me!" he said sharply.

"Don't go giving me orders, let's just get where we're going." Spike growled, keeping a hand under his dribbling nose.

They finally arrived at the cursed springs. The place was completely deserted. Not a single living soul was there. Not even any guards. The training ground itself however, was exactly as it had been long ago. Large springs littered the ground everywhere. Large, narrow poles stuck up out of them. It was the perfect place to train.

"So it really does exist." Spike said in awe. "Who would've thought?."

"Would I lie to you? Most of the time I mean." Serenity said. "I said it existed and it does! Now would you care to join us?"

"I'll go." said Spike. "You want to try me Inuyasha?" he asked.

Inuyasha smirked. "You? You're just a human! There's no way you could handle a demon like me!"

"Half demon is more like it!" Serenity added.

"Shut up! The same goes for you!" Inuyasha snarled. He turned back to Spike. "However, if you feel that strongly, I'll fight you. Just don't cry when I hit you."

Spike smiled his trademark smile. "Oh don't worry about that. Now let's go."

(5)

Spike and Inuyasha sprang up to the top of the poles and jumped at each other. As they fell, Spike threw three quick jabs at Inuyasha, and was not surprised to see Inuyasha dodge them all. Inuyasha drew his hand down as if he were going to draw his sword, and then made a large, swiping punch at Spike. As he did, they landed on the narrow ground in between two of the springs. Spike immediately jumped into the air and kicked at Inuyasha's face.

"Good speed and range." Inuyasha thought. "Decent power too. Maybe I misjudged him. However he left an opening."

Inuyasha had forgotten about the opening he had left however as Spike used his left foot to kick Inuyasha twice in the side of the head. Inuyasha was spun around by the force of the kicks, but quickly turned it into an attack and made another punch at Spike. Spike ducked it and spun around, launching a backspin kick at the hanyou. Inuyasha ducked it and punched out twice with his fists. Spike leapt up to the top of another pole, as did Inuyasha.

Inuyasha panted. "Not bad, for a human! This is going to be fun!"

Spike smirked. "Your good too, but you need to use more then your hands if you want to catch-"

Before he could finish, Inuyasha jumped high into the air and dove down at him with a kick. Spike leaned to the side to dodge, but he lost his balance and fell. Spike plummeted down from the pole and into the spring below.

Serenity and Inuyasha rushed to the spring Spike had fallen into. He did not come up to the surface.

"Serenity, what spring was this again?" Inuyasha asked.

"If I'm not mistaken," Serenity said, "it's the spring of the drowned wolf. I guess that means he's going to-"

Before she could finish, a large grey wolf jumped up to the surface. It looked around and studied its surroundings, then turned to Inuyasha and Serenity. It gazed intensely at them, but it did not attack. Serenity walked up to it and sniffed it.

"Yup, it's definitely Spike!" Serenity called back.
