About the ki attacks Ryoga lists... I figure Ranma would prob'ly brag 
abot them mosta' the time... and Ryoga knows how the Moko Takabisha 
and the hiryu shoten ha work, he just doesn't use them because they 
don't suit his style, like Ranma couldn't use the shishi hokodan 
properly. That said, enjoy ! As always, all C&C, MSTs and even flames 
are welcome, even encouraged !

Ryoga - Chan in England

- Kai-Chan and team -Chan

Chapter 3 - Training
================

 Ryoga had been sleeping on the couch in Kaye and Liea's living room,
 when he heard someone trying to sneak past him. "<Who's there?!>"
 he yelled, leaping up. Kaye fell over backwards.
 "Ouch...." she groaned, " Geez Ryoga, <you sure know how to scare a girl..>"
 "Sorry, I'm not used to other people being around," he said
 apologetically, helping her to her feet, "<Are the others awake?>"
 "<No, I'm the first one up, as always. What do you want for
 breakfast?>" she asked, rubbing her head. Her hair was all mussy,
 and Ryoga doubted his was much better.
 "<Um... can I have some rice?>"
 "<Rice? Sure, why not.> I really feel like doing a Delia Smith
 impression first thing in the morning...." she added under her
 breath.("what ? Does no-one else eat cereal?"- K-Chan) 
"Huh?"
 "<Nothing. You watch T.V.>" shrugged Kaye, flicking on the television
 set and handing the remote to Ryoga before going downstairs into the
 kitchen. Ryoga actually started trying to watch T.V, then realised
 that he couldn't understand a word. Sighing, he put down the remote
 and decided to see what videos they had, just to pass the time. To
 his surprise, they had a large amount of anime videos in a variety of
 languages ( "yeah, now all we gotta do is learn those languages and
 we can understand what the hell is going on in them..."- K-Chan)
 "<Hey, how come you've got so much anime?>" he called down to Kaye.
 "<I'm ashamed to admit I an obsessed fangirl.>" laughed Kaye in reply.
 "Otaku?" asked Ryoga in surprise.
 "<Yep. Why so surprised? This how I learn Japanese .>"
 "<I just... didn't expect anyone outside of Japan to be an anime fan ,>" shrugged Ryoga,      
 "<How's the rice doing?>"
 "<Be done in a minute! You want chopsticks?>"
 "<Yeah, if you have some .>"
 "<You think I ask if I no have? Pick a video to watch if you want .>"
 "<Thanks .>" said Ryoga, picking out an episode of Dragonball Z in Japanese with Cantonese subtitles ( "see ?
 see? Me otaku an' me proud !" - K-Chan " me see London, me see -"
 -L-Chan * WHAP * " stop plagiarising or I'll get done !" - K-Chan )
 and putting it in the VCR. Kaye walked in and handed him a bowl of
 rice just as the opening titles started. 
"<Hey, one of my favourites!>" she said, sitting down. Ryoga noticed she was having rice as
 well.
 "<You like martial arts, huh?>"
 "<Yup. Hey, can you teach me some of your techniques?>" she asked eagerly.
 "<Hm? Well, I guess so...>" he said thoughtfully, "<But why?>"
 "<Well, um, I'm not very good, and I'm sure the others would like to learn too...>" she
 said evasively, not looking him in the eye.
 "<Good reasons. Now what's the real one?>" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
 "<Er... I don't know what you mean ,>" gulped Kaye. Ryoga raised both his
 eyebrows, "<Really. Me no understand .>"
 "<Really? Then I'll have to torture it out of you!>" he cackled,
 advanced on her with an evil grin and started tickling her under the
 arms. She giggled hysterically, then signalled him to stop.
 "<Okay, okay, I give!>" she gasped, sitting up, "<But don't laugh, all
 right?>" Ryoga nodded, and she sat back as he went and sat down, "<So I want to
 learn better techniques in case that demon guy comes back. Don't tell others, but I
 got real bad feeling about this - in fact, I'm kind of afraid..>" she said slowly, looking down.
 "<There's nothing wrong with that. I mean, he's a demon ,>" he said
 reassuringly, "<And of course I'll help you learn those techniques,
 although I doubt you'll need much training, considering how easily
 you pulled off the hiryuu shoten ha .>"
 "<Really?>"
 "<Yup. Of course, I'm not the expert on that one, and I've seen Ranma pull off
 absolutely huge ones, but for a beginner...>"
 "<Ranma ? Who is Ranma?>"
 "<Don't get me started .>" sighed Ryoga.
 "<Aw c'mon, you've piqued my curiosity!>"
 " <Where the hell did you learn that one?! Anyway....

 One huge amount of explaining, an unwatched video and two empty
 ricebowls later...

 .... so he was the red - haired girl who collided with me .>"
 "Aye carumba. <Well, I'm going to get dressed and see if the others
 are awake yet. 'Bye .>" sighed Kaye, standing up and leaving the
 room.
 "<Okay, goodbye .>" called Ryoga. He sat back and began to
 think. He had to get back to Japan, so that he could see Akane and
 hopefully kill Ranma. Not that he actually wanted to KILL Ranma, but
 then again... * Argh! Why can't I decide what I really want to do?!
 * he yelled mentally, * Anyway, I can't leave yet, because that would
 be breaking my promise and that would make me as bad as him. *
 Suddenly, he sensed a familiar presence in the house, and thought he
 heard a stifled scream from upstairs. He jumped up and ran up the
 stairs two at a time, bursting through the door - into the dark and
 empty bathroom. * Whoops, wrong room! * he thought as he span round
 on his heel and burst through the door into the other room, where he
 saw Nartoth holding Kaye off the ground by her neck and hissing
 something to her. Ryoga span round in a low kick, knocking Nartoth's
 legs out from under him, and catching Kaye as she fell. Nartoth
 rolled backwards and stood up limberly.
 "Out of my way, mortal!" he snarled, angry at being caught out by this young human.
 "<Back off, Hellspawn!>" snarled Ryoga in reply, showing his fangs. A look of
 surprise flickered across Nartoth's face.
 "A Japanese boy? Interesting... <This is not the end!>" he growled at Ryoga, then
 disappeared in a cloud of sulphurous smoke which made Ryoga cough.
 Kaye coughed a bit too, then pushed Ryoga away.
 "<Thanks Ryoga, I'm okay now .>" she said, rubbing a red mark round her neck gingerly.
 "<What did he want?>" he asked, staring at the spot where the demon
 had disappeared.
 "<He said something about... sparing my life in exchange for my soul. I told him where to stick it, of course .>"
 "<And how many anime videos did you watch learning to say that in
 Japanese ?>" asked Ryoga, raising an eyebrow. They both giggled, then
 turned as a sleepy Benji and an even sleepier Liea poked their heads
 round the door curiously.
 "Wha's goin' on in'ere?" asked Benji muzzily. Ryoga shrugged and Kaye sighed wearily.
 "I'll explain in a minute. <Ryoga, wait outside. I need to get changed .>" she said.
 "<Okay. Give me a yell if whiteface shows up again .>" said Ryoga,
 going into the corridor ("don't you mean landing?"-L-Chan "this is
 in case someone doesn't know what a landing is ."-K-Chan "I know what
 a landing is! It's a type of corridor!"-I-Chan "GROAN"-Rest ) and
 leaning against the door once it was closed behind him. And yes, the
 door opened inwards. Was he asking for an accident to happen? Only
 time could tell... ("time? More like the comic genius of K-Chan,
 superwriter !"-B-Chan "was that �5 or �10?"-K-Chan "more like the
 comical predictability of K-Chan, supermoron"-L-Chan * WHAP * POW *
 SCRUNCH * "what did I say? I can't remember - I must have been
 brainwashed!"-L-Chan "good. Now you get to live"-K-Chan "not that
 there was much to wash..."-B-Chan * WHAP * )
  Ten minutes later, he was fast asleep. And fifteen minutes later,
  Benji opened the door to call him in.
 "Ryo - UNF!" she exclaimed as he fell onto her, and they tumbled in
 a heap to the floor, "Oww.." she groaned, sitting up. Ryoga, amazingly, stayed fast asleep
("is hard to sleep on our sofa"-K-Chan ) "Gee, he's cute when he's
asleep ." she added, looking down at his peaceful face, which was
leant against her chest.
 "Yeah ." said Liea, looking down at him too.
 "He's okay ," sighed Kaye, raising an eyebrow when the others glared
 at her, "What? Anyway, it's a shame he won't be asleep much longer ." she grinned, and the others grinned back. 
"<WAKE UP RYOGA !>" they yelled together. Ryoga jumped awake, turned bright red as he
 realised where he was, and leapt to his feet. The others all giggled
 as Benji climbed to her feet. They were all wearing loose cotton
 trousers and T-shirts because Kaye had told them about Ryoga offering
 to train them. Kaye was wearing all purple, Benji wearing light blue
 and Liea was wearing black trousers and a red T-shirt. This irked
 Ryoga a bit, since it was similar to what Ranma wore, apart from not
 being a Chinese top. But what they wore was their business. * And
 whether or not they look cute in it is our business .* added the
 voice, grinning. Luckily Ryoga was already blushing, so they didn't
 notice him turn a deeper shade.
 "<You awake now?>" asked Benji.
 "<What does it look like?>" frowned Ryoga, willing himself to stop
 blushing.
 "<Sorry .>" said Benji remorsefully, hanging her head.
 "<I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you .>" he said apologetically.
 "<That okay then!>" said Benji chirpily, raising her head and
 grinning. Ryoga blinked whilst the other two groaned, " Works every
 time!" she smiled at them, winking.
 "<Huh?>"
 "<No worry. You train us now .>" replied Benji evasively.
 " <Okay .>" shrugged Ryoga. He had promised to, and he was looking forward to it anyway. It had
 been a while since he'd had a proper fight, and even longer since
 he'd done any training with people other than Ranma. ("hey guys, how
 do I do a training scene ?"-K-Chan "most people use a
 montage..."-I-Chan "how do I WRITE a montage ?!"-K-Chan "well, you
 could try thinking of that tune from Mulan..."-B-Chan "hmm...
 lalala.. nope, nothing doing"-K-Chan "why don't you just cut to what
 some other characters are doing ? I need to catch up on my Ranma..
 ohh, Ranma..."-L-Chan "stop going all gooshy over the keyboard and
 I'll consider it"-K-Chan) And speaking of the pig-tailed one... ("YAY
 !"-L-Chan)

 "<Hey Akane, whatcha doin'?>" asked Ranma, poking his head through
 the kitchen window.
 "<I just baked some cookies! Do you want to try some?>" smiled Akane.
 "<Er.. actually, I was just going into town...>" he said evasively, turning to leave.
 "<Couldn't you have some before you leave?>" she asked plaintively.
 "<I was planning on arriving alive...>" he mumbled before he could stop himself.
 "<RANMA YOU JERK !!>" she yelled, punching him extremely hard. It didn't help
 that he'd just been jumping away. He went flying through the air -
 through the cloud layer, in fact. * This is unusual... * he thought
 as the cold air chilled his flesh, * Akane's never punched me this
 far before. * there wasn't a lot he could do about it, he'd just have
 to sit back, enjoy the ride, and see where he landed. Of course, the
 passengers in that airplane he was passing were probably going to
 complain about the food, especially since he hadn't been able to
 resist waving, but it was't his fault. He really hadn't meant to
 upset Akane, it was just that her cooking could be considered
 chemical weaponry and sold to Sadam Hussein for a large amount of
 money, which he suspected Nabiki did on the sly. And she took offence
 at the slightest little thing. And he didn't know when to keep his
 big mouth shut... Since he was beginning to lose altitude, he
 supposed he might as well start yelling so people would know to clear
 the landing area. " Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......................"

 "<Hey, what's that noise ?>" asked Benji, pausing during one of the
 kata Ryoga had shown them. 
 "<That sounds familiar...>" mused Ryoga.
 "<What is it ?>" asked Benji.
 "<Well... it couldn't be, but...>" he walked over to the window and looked out, nearly having a heart
 attack from the shock of seeing a familiar shape plummet from the sky
 and land in the back garden, causing a small crater.
 " ....aaaaaaaaaAAA - OW !! < Geez, where am I ?>" groaned Ranma,
 sitting up and rubbing her head, "<Aw no, it's raining. Typical!>"
 " RANMA?!!" yelped Ryoga in shock.
 " Ranma ? <But he's in Japan, isn't he?>" blinked Kaye.
 "<Not any more .>" growled Ryoga, running towards the door.
 "<The way down is over here .>" sighed Benji. He turned around, ran through the the door she was holding open for him,
 down the stairs and through another door - into the cellar.
 "<And the back door's over there .>" called Kaye, leaning over the rail and
 pointing. ("shouldn't that be bannister ?"-L-Chan "I'll give you a
 bannister inna minute, and you won't like where I put it !"-K-Chan)
 Ryoga, by now slightly pink with embarassment but caught up in his
 anger, ran out of the cellar and through the back door.
 "<And it's still raining .>" added Benji, coming downstairs. P-Chan squealed,
 ran over to the slightly stunned Ranma, and bit her in the hand.
 "P-CHAN?!!" she cried in surprise and pain, "<I suppose I
 shouldn't be surprised, this is just the way my life works. I suppose
 you can't tell me where the hell we are, eh?>"
 "Hey! Ranma, Ryoga! <Get in here now !>" called Kaye from the open doorway. 
"<Who the hell are you ?>" yelled Ranma, surprised this person knew her name, *
 Then again, she knows Ryoga is P-Chan, so he probably told her about
 me.* 
 "<My name Kaye. Now get in here!>" she yelled, going back inside. Ranma shrugged, pulled P-Chan off her hand, and went inside
 too. Kaye closed the door behind Ranma, and P-Chan jumped onto the
 table, next to his slightly damp clothes, which Kaye had picked up.
 "<Excuse me, but where exactly am I?>" asked Ranma as Benji poured
 hot water over him.
 "Pooh, he's not naked ." she sighed, filling the kettle again.
 "<You're in England. We'd love to know how .>" stated
 Kaye.
 "<Akane Airlines. She's never punched me as far as this before
 though ,>" sighed Ranma, smiling wryly at their slightly incredulous
 faces, "<I imagine Ryoga's here because he got lost .>"
 "<Right. Can you pour this hot water over him ?>" asked Benji, handing the
 kettle to Ranma when he nodded. The three girls turned their backs as
 he poured the hot water over P-Chan, who turned back into Ryoga and
 made the table creak. He jumped off the table and started putting his
 clothes back on. Ranma handed the kettle back to Benji, who put it on
 the work surface, giggling quietly.
 "<Why're you laughing ?>" asked Ranma.
 "<Ryoga transforming more fun than you because he naked.
 Happen yesterday and I had to pour water .>" she grinned, going
 faintly pink.
 "<IT IS NOT FUN !>" yelled Ryoga in frustration.
 "<It is .>" said Benjji, turning around.
 "<IT IS NOT !>"
 "<IT IS .>"
 "<IS NOT !>"
 "<IS !>"
 "<ISN'T !>"
 "<ISISISISISISISISISISIS !!!!>"
 "<ISN'TISN'TISN'TISN'TISN'TISN'TISN'T !!!!!>"
 "< Maybe no for you, but for us is .>"
 "<Well it shouldn't be !>" Ranma raised an eyebrow amusedly as he watched with the others,
 "<They fight almost as much as me and Akane .>" he murmured to himself.
 "I can understand that Japanese ." smiled Liea. ( * WHAP * "you're learning, so leeme alone
 !"-K-Chan)
 "<Isn't young love beautiful ?>" sighed Kaye. They all
 turned and stared at her, even Benji and Ryoga stopping to look at
 her incredulously,
 "<What ? Look, they're blushing !>" she exclaimed
 indignantly, pointing to Benji and Ryoga, who WERE quite pink.
 " <I've just had hot water poured over me .>" said Ryoga evasively.
 "<And I've just been hugely embarassed !! Anyway, Ryoga can't love me,
 he's in love with Akane !>" finished Benji decisively. 
 " <Whatever... > Like you don't hope that is just a crush..." muttered Kaye.
 " <What would you know anyway ? You no have boyfriend, you no like romantic
 books and you make puking noises during love scenes in movies !>"
 exclaimed Benji.
 " <She does ?>" Ryoga asked Liea.
 " Hai ." sighed Liea.
 " <So I know because watching you makes me feel ill, okay ?
 Geez, why would you make such a deal out of it if it not true ?>"
 " <Because it embarassing !>"
 " <It wouldn't be embarassing if it weren't true .>" Kaye said smugly.
 " Grrr......"
 " <This makes me feel so at home .>" said Ranma, leaning back and watching Kaye and
 Benji sparring.
 " <I know what you mean .>" sighed Ryoga. Meanwhile,
 Liea was feeling both embarassed by her sister, and kind of sparkly
 inside. ("SPARKLY !?!!"-L-Chan "well you try describing it
 then"-K-Chan "er..."-L-Chan "answers on a postcard please !"-I-Chan)
 * He's so cute !* she thought, * Why is he so cute ? Is it that
 pigtail ? I've never seen a guy with a pigtail before. Or it could be
 his eyes, they're really nice, all blue and... nice. Could be his
 voice, even if I hardly understand a word he's saying... or his body.
 His body is definite contender. Perhaps it's all of it ? Not that I
 stand a chance, he's already engaged to three girls... none of whom
 are around at the moment... he is cute... * she went a light pink,
 but luckily no-one noticed because that was when Benji and Kaye made
 a truce.
 " Give ?"
 " Never ! You ?"
 " Never ! Uh.. truce ?"
 " Um... sure, truce ." said Benji, and stopped punching Kaye in the stomach
 as Kaye released her from a headlock, " Hey, Ranma ?"
 " <What ?>"
 " <Did Ryoga tell you that Kaye did your Hiryuu Shoten Ha thingy of
 yours yesterday ?>"
 " Benji !!"
 " Well you did ."
 " <She did ? How much training did she do ?>" he asked interestedly. Ryoga grinned
 evilly.
 " <Actually, she didn't do any training, she just heard my explanation of it and had to use it in a fight later on .>" he said
 innocently.
 " NANI ?!" exclaimed Ranma, nearly falling over. And he'd
 thought he'd been fast to learn it in three days.
 " <Well, when you're battling demon hordes, ya gotta pull something special outta
 the hat. Anyway, it wasn't a very good one.>" shrugged Kaye.
 " <Whoa, back up there. Demon hordes ?>" asked Ranma. The others sighed and
 Kaye got Ryoga to explain it in Japanese for Ranma.

 Meanwhile, Akane was starting to worry about Ranma. She'd waited for
 him to come home, but he hadn't. She'd checked the local area to see
 if she could find out where he'd landed, but she couldn't. She'd
 checked whether he was with one of his other fiancees, but he wasn't.
 She'd been quite surprised by the strength of her own punch, but
 surely he couldn't have gone that far. ("heheheh, that's what she
 thinks !"-K-Chan) Now she was sitting eating some ramen and watching
 T.V. The cookies were in the bin, since she had mixed up the sugar
 tin with the salt tin. And used a bad egg. And used skimmed milk
 instead of full-fat milk. But that didn't excuse Ranma for not even
 trying them. He should have tried them, they could have been
 perfectly nice, he didn't know that they were practically poisonous.
 There was no excuse. Still... she hoped he would come home soon. So
 she could hit him really hard for worrying her like this. Then the
 phone rang. " <Hello, Tendo Dojo of Indiscriminate Grappling, Akane
 speaking .>" she sighed into the earpiece.
 " <Um... hi Akane. Bet you'll never guess where I am .>" said the person on the other end of
 the line faintly.
 " <RANMA ?! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU ?!!>" yelled
 Akane, shocked by the fact that he had bothered to call her.

 " I can't believe you let him phone Japan ." grumbled Kaye.
 " Ah shut up. We can't let his family get worried ." snapped Liea.
 " Young love strikes again ." sighed Kaye. Liea hit her in the arm.
 " <Um... would you believe... England ?>" said Ranma, playing with
 the end of his plait.
 " <ENGLAND ?!!>" yelled Akane. Everyone in the
 room fell over backwards, holding their ears.
 " <Yeah. Ryoga's here too .>" sighed Ranma.
 " <Hi Akane !>" called Ryoga, blushing and hiding his face 
afterwards " Man, he's got it bad ." said Liea.
 " 's a crush. He's really in love with Benji ." said Kaye, who got hit in
 the arm by Benji.
 " <How - you didn't get all that way from MY punch?!>"
 " <Yeah .>"
 " <Well, if you could punch yourself here, then ->"
 " <RANMA YOU IDIOT ! BE SERIOUS !!>"
 " <Okay, okay. I guess I'll get a boat .>"
 " <You don't have any money .>"
 " <How d'you figure that ?>"
 " <You never do .>"
 " <True. So what do you suggest I do ?>"
 " <You swam to China, right ? Swim to Japan .>"
 " <You're kidding ?!>"
 " <Nope .>"
 " <But Akane...>" Whilst this conversation was going on,
 Kaye was sat down and bored. Liea was ogling Ranma whilst pretending
 not to, and Benji and Ryoga were teasing her about it, * They make a
 good couple, * she thought idly, * Gosh I'm bored. What can I do ? *
 she thought about how Ryoga had shown them to gather chi and project
 it. He'd just shown them how to fire off balls of chi at an enemy,
 but perhaps... Kaye started gathering her chi and shaping it... Ranma
 and Ryoga both sensed this and turned to look at Kaye, to see her
 playing with a small kitten made up of glowing white chi energy
 tinted slightly with purple. " <Innit cute ?>" she said, looking up.
 Then the kitten disappeared and she flopped backwards, fast asleep.
 The others stared at her recumbent form.
 " <How in the hell ->" started Ranma.
 " <What's going on ?>" asked Akane.
 " <I'll call you back. Actually, I'll make my way back and speak to 
you when I see you .>" he said, hanging up the phone.

 " <But ->" started Akane, then realised that he had hung up, " <Ooh,
 Ranma you Jerk !!>" she yelled, throwing the phone through the wall,
 much to the surprise of Soun and Genma, who'd been walking along the
 corridor outside and decided they might as well go back into town.
