Chapter 1: Greetings?

Five hundred years in feudal Japan…

"What!?"

"Please calm down, Inu-yasha, you don't have to bark." Kagome replied.

"Why the hell you need to go back home again; you know you have too much free time, are you forgetting about our mission to find the missing shards of the blasted jewel!" He shouted.

"No, I just have to do this math exam, this exam tells me if I'll pass the year or not. Which is important!" she yelled back.

"Isn't finding the shards more important, Kagome?"

"They're both important!" She shouted.

"Can you please take it outside?" Miroku sighed.

"I'm finished, I was just leaving." Kagome stated.

"Fine go, you waste our time anyway." Inu-yasha snorted.

Kagome turned and slapped him on the cheek, praying her tears won't give in. "If I'm not needed around here, then I won't ever come back. You happy now!?" She bellowed walking out of the hut most likely for good this time on her way to the enchanted well.

Inu-yasha was flabbergasted after what had just happened; he soon felt all eyes glaring at him. He turned around at them.

"Inu-yasha, you're an idiot!" They all yelled.

He was pushed back by all the anger from his friends. "Hey, why are you going after me, she's the…"

"Hurry up and make up with Kagome!" They ordered.

"…" He turned to the door.

"We're not going to let you back in until you do." Sango promised.

"I'm not going to apologise to that, that…Rrr." He growled as he ran out the hut. "Damn you Kagome, now you made everyone think I'm the mean one." He thought.

At the well…

"Jerk, jerk, why do I put up with a person like that, Inu-yasha you jerk!" Kagome cried, sitting at the rim of the well.

Inu-yasha was crouching on an overhanging branch, watching and listening to Kagome. "Rrr…why am I a jerk? Hm?" he thought, he then swore he had just seen her wipe her cheek. He gasped. "Did I make her cry?"

Kagome took one last look at the feudal era, she sighed and jumped in.

Inu-yasha jumped off the branch and ran over to the well. "Have I really upset Kagome this time; did she really mean she's never coming back?" he didn't hesitate and leaped in to well after her.

Modern day Japan at the Tendo's dojo…

"Ranma, stay put would' ya I have to practice." Akane ordered, giving him a punch.

"Why take your practices out on me?" Ranma asked, dodging it effortlessly. "You'd better off practicing with someone less as good as me." He teased.

Akane frowned. "So you're implying to me that I won't stand a chance against you, is that it?"

"Well, at least you do have brains." Ranma taunted.

Akane then kicked him; well that's what she thought she did. Ranma had flipped over her kick landing one hand on her leg upside down.

"Told 'ya, you don't stand a chance against me." As Ranma stuck out his tongue at her.

Akane swung her leg off of him, and trapped him in a corner. "Hah now I've got you." She then punched him, but the him turned into a wall, and her fist punched through it.

"Hah too slow." He stated.

Suddenly a bicycle crashed into the dojo and landed on top of him.

"Nihao, Ranma!" Shampoo gladly greeted, holding a steel crate with ramen noodles inside.

Ranma's hand twitched. "Do you mind getting off me?"

"Do Ranma go on date with Shampoo after delivery?" She asked.

"Oh Ranma why don't you go, I bet you'll have loads of fun." Akane offered, striking him out of the dojo.

"Aiyaa, why Akane hit Ranma?"

"Why don't you join him?" She suggested, attempting to kick her but she dodged it without any struggles.

"Shampoo, be able to beat you any day, but now I find Ranma." Shampoo noted.

Akane clenched her fist. "Fine, go ahead, don't bother coming back!"

In the streets of Tokyo…

Kagome walked towards the market and noticed something crash inside the garbage pail beside her. She shrieked. "What was that?"

She couldn't help but look in the pail. "Oh my, are you alright?" Kagome asked, pulling Ranma out.

Ranma shook his head. "Yeah, just having an off day."

"Oh yah, tell me about it." Kagome said, rolling her eyes.

"Why someone or something pissing you off too?"

"Meh…"

"Ranma, there you are Shampoo look for you."

"Uh…Sh-Shampoo." Ranma stuttered.

"Girlfriend?" Kagome guessed.

"No."

"Ranma, who is girl you talk to, Shampoo never see girl before?" Shampoo irritably asked.

"Someone I just met." He answered. "What's your name?"

"It's Kagome, Kagome Higurashi."

"Kagome huh? Nice name. My name is Ranma Saotome."

This got Shampoo jealous. "Girl not get involved with Ranma."

"I'm not getting involved with Ranma in that way, I was just going." Kagome laughed nervously.

"So you leave without introduction of Shampoo?"

"Hm?"

"Come on Shampoo, don't start up a fight." Ranma convinced her.

Shampoo ignored him and jumped in front of Kagome stopping her from walking away.

Kagome shrieked.

"You get in Shampoo way, I kill you!" she yelled, trying to give a punch.

Kagome put her arms protecting her face, she waited, but she felt nothing. she looked up, and noticed Ranma holding Shampoo's wrist.

"Enough Shampoo, don't you have that delivery to make?" Ranma spoke.

Shampoo snatched her wrist away. "Why you protect girl, you make Shampoo angry." She hopped on her bike and road off rapidly.

Ranma turned his head to Kagome. "Sorry, about…huh where'd she go?" He pondered, he looked forward and saw her continue her walk. "Hey Kagome."

"Don't stay with me anymore, I'm making your "girlfriend" upset." Kagome replied.

"Shampoo is not my girlfriend." Ranma repeated. "Anyway, where ya headed?"

"The market to get eggs and milk." She answered.

"I'll go with you if you don't mind; I don't want to go back "there" anyway." Ranma snorted.

"Okay." Kagome smiled as he joined her.

Inu-yasha jumped from roof to roof until he spotted a glimpse of Kagome. He was just about to go to her when he noticed another guy was with her. "Who the hell is that?"

Well folks that's the first chapter of Inu-Ranma hope you liked it. I'll continue when I get reviews that will give me the strength to write more. Merry Christmas to all.
