I know I was suppose to post this thing right after the prolog but I had 
some Isp problems, anyway I'm back on here but I can't access my website at 
the moment which would mean that all you nice people will probably get to 
read the third chapter before my loyal<?> fans that visit my website. 
Intelligent C&C is always welcome of course but if you get off on flaming 
people then by all means go for it...

Chapter one: Old Friends, New Insanities

Scene: Nerima streets. Wednesday. Ranma and Akane are walking home from 
school, with the usual conversation.

Ranma: Jeez Akane comon! It's not like I want Shampoo grabbing me like that!

Akane: Really Ranma! It's not like you were doing much to discourage her!

Ranma: What do ya mean? Of course I was! [That girl has a grip like a vise, 
once she gets on I can never get her off]

Akane spins on Ranma and faces him down.

Akane: That's not what it looked like to me, why don't you just go back to 
China with her if you don't have then time for me.

Akane spins back around and walks away leaving a slightly stung Ranma 
standing in mid-retort with his mouth half-open.

"Stupid, uncute tomboy" Ranma mumbles as he runs to catch up.

Scene: Tendo Dojo

Ranma and Akane come in the front door.
Kasumi comes out from the kitchen.

Kasumi: Ranma, a letter came for you today.

Akane>sarcastically>: What? Another challenge letter? Who wants to kill you 
this time?

Ranma: Who's it from Kasumi?

Kasumi: Well, there's no return address only a name, it's from someone named 
Exinjerukarachi Kihin

Ranma: Hey a letter from Exinjeru, man I haven't seen him in almost three 
years!

Akane: Well who is he?

Ranma: Him an me have been friends for a long time, we use ta do stuff all 
the time before Pop took me off on the training trip. Even saw him a few 
times during the trip. A few months before we came here, Pop and I stopped 
at his grandfather's dojo to train for a couple months.

Akane: Dojo? What form does it teach?

Ranma grins

Ranma: His grandfather runs the Anything-goes school of Kendo martial arts.

Akane: Oh great just what we need! Another Kuno...

"Hey Comon he's nothin like Kuno!" Ranma says as he is opening the letter.

Ranma: Besides he could beat Kuno easy! He's almost as good as I am.
Hey alright he's coming here this Saturday!

Akane: Huh? Let me see...

Dear Ranma,
        Hey I hope your doin good. Man things have been so insane for me the 
past year you wouldn't believe! In fact most people don't. But I finally got 
the chance to track you down, I should be there Saturday if my, I guess 
hobby would be the word for it, doesn't interfere. Hey if you could, see if 
there's some space I could rent there, since I might decide to stay awhile. 
All I need is a private room with a futon, size doesn't matter.

                                    See ya soon,
                                    Exinjerukarachi Kihin

Ranma: Hey Akane you think your father will rent out a room to him?

Kasumi: We could use the extra money.

Akane>obviously not happy>: yea I guess your right Kasumi, I'll talk to my 
dad about it Ranma.

Ranma: Hey thanks Akane. Man wait till pop hears this...

Scene: Tendo Dojo. Dinner table. Everyone is eating with Ranma and Genma 
dueling over their food as usual.

Soun: Girls, as you've probably heard, Ranma's friend is coming to stay with 
us for a while. He'll be renting the room upstairs, Nabiki please handle the 
rent payments, Kasumi please make the room presentable for our new guest.

Meanwhile Ranma has bested Genma in the ancient art of pickle wrestling.

Nabiki: So Ranma, tell us some more about your friend.

Ranma: Well he practices Anything-goes Kendo martial arts so he uses a 
sword, but he can fight pretty good without it because he studied 
Anything-goes martial arts with me an pop.

Genma: Yes, he was a good student. He picked up most of the techniques 
fairly quickly.

Ranma: Anyway, his grandfather is only half Japanese, so his mother er, well 
his grandmother on his mom's side... but his dad was... jeez! He don't look 
entirely Japanese. Uh anyway his mom knows Anything-goes Kendo martial arts 
too, so she's pretty good... she even beat pop.

Ranma Smirks at Genma

Genma: Um well... there's uh no dishonor in being defeated by an opponent 
who is truly more skilled than you are. [yea, that sounds good I should 
remember that one]

Ranma: Yea sure pop. Oh yea he's also two years older than me, that would 
make him um 19 now I guess.

Nabiki lifted an eyebrow at the last statement as Akane muttered "Wow he 
can add."

*******************************************************************

Scene: Saturday. Ranma is walking home from school alone.

Voice: HA! I've finally found you Ranma! Prepare to die!

Ranma: [Oh great, of course this would happen today...]

Ranma dodges Ryoga's umbrella just in time to get caught in hail of rock as 
the sidewalk in front of him disintegrates from Ryoga's Bakusai Tenketsu.

Ranma: Man Ryoga I don't have time for this I'm expecting someone today.

Ranma and Ryoga begin trading blows as Ranma tries to think of a quick way 
to end the fight.

Ryoga: Oh? Who is it? Another fiancee? Ranma how could you!

Ranma: Oh comon Ryoga! It's not even a girl!

Ryoga: Just shutup and take your punishment like a man for once!

Scene goes black as Ryoga's fist hits the viewpoint

Scene: Slowly zooming in on the Tendo Dojo. A sky-blue motorcycle is parked 
outside the gates. Scene shifts to interior where Kasumi is talking to a 
young man wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans with a long black silk 
overcoat with white highlights that bears a passing resemblance to the top 
of a training gi. He has short, thick black hair with a long foot-long lock 
on each side.

Kasumi: He should have been home a little while ago. Maybe he decided to 
wait for Akane? She had a meeting after school today.

Young man: Well I guess I'll run over there then, if you would be so kind as 
to give me directions to the school Kasumi?

Kasumi: Of course Mr Kihin.

Exinjeru: Naa just call me Exinjeru.

Kasumi: okay. >patented Kasumi smile

Scene: Ranma VS Ryoga, massive property damage ensuing.

Ryoga throws another punch collapsing a power pole.
Ranma, dodging the punch counters with several kicks to Ryoga's side 
followed by a sweepkick knocking him down.

Ranma: [I gotta find some way to get rid of this moron]

Ranma ducks several bandanas and dodges the follow-up flurry of punches 
before doing a quick amaguriken to Ryoga's ribs.

Ranma ducks Ryoga's next kick...

Ranma: MOKO TAKABISHA!

Ryoga gets caught in the full force and goes flying across the street, 
impacting in the side of a building before falling to the ground. As Ryoga 
gets to his feet neither him or Ranma notice the motorcycle at the end of 
the street.

Ryoga: You should know you can't beat me that easy Ranma!

Ranma: Yea stop reminding me, I know how much you like to beat your head 
against rocks P-chan.

Ryoga: AHH THAT'S IT RANMA!

Ryoga leaps at Ranma. As the bike nears the fight the rider jumps off, 
heading for Ryoga who fails to see the attack coming.

As Exinjeru's boot connects solidly to the side of Ryoga's head, he kicks 
off, propelling Ryoga into yet another building while he does a quick 
backflip and lands quietly next to Ranma.

Exinjeru: Hey Ranma you were a little late coming home from school so I came 
to check up on ya.

Ranma: Hey man how you doin? That was a pretty good move there but you 
should be careful it'll take a lot...more...

Ranma broke off as something clicked in his head telling him that something 
was wrong. That something being a certain motorcycle driving up and parking 
next to them, with no one driving.

Ranma: [Since when do motorcycles drive themselves?]

Exinjeru notices Ranma staring at the bike.

Exinjeru: What?

Ranma: Uh nothing nevermind. [it can wait] Anyway I was sayin that Ryoga's 
pretty tough and um...

Ranma points behind Exinjeru.

Exinjeru: Huh? >turns around to see a slightly miffed Ryoga.

Ryoga: I don't know who you are... but you have no right to interfere!

Ryoga lunges at the two of them, finger outstretched.

Ranma jumps to a nearby rooftop while Exinjeru simply steps back a couple 
feet.

Ranma: [jeez I hope he knows what he's doin]

Exinjeru disappears in the explosion, when the smoke clears he is lowering 
his left arm and is untouched.

Ryoga issues a battle cry and attacks Exinjeru.
Exinjeru sidesteps Ryoga's first punch, landing a spinning backhand to 
Ryoga's head. Ryoga's next combo is interrupted by an elbow the gut, 
followed by said elbow connecting to his chin.

Ryoga: [This guy is almost as fast as Ranma]

Ryoga lands a one-two punch to Exinjeru's head followed by a kick to his 
side sending him skidding down the sidewalk.

Exinjeru: [damn that hurt this guy is really strong, fortunately my head is 
harder than concrete]

Exinjeru grins

Ryoga: What the hell are you smiling at?!

Exinjeru>still grinning>: Inside joke.

Ryoga: stop fooling around and fight!

With than he starts throwing bandanas at Exinjeru. Exinjeru dodges the 
first few, but as the next one comes at him he sidesteps and grabs the end 
with two fingers, spins around and sends it straight back at Ryoga.

Ryoga: [How'd he...?]

Ryoga, slightly surprised almost doesn't dodge in time, the bandana 
shearing off some hair from the left side of his head.

Exinjeru: So ya wanna play with toys huh? I got some toys for ya.

Exinjeru undoes his coat showing a belt of six throwing knives across his 
chest. He grins and grabs three in each hand. Ryoga throws two more 
bandanas at him, but there is a faint flash of blue and the bandanas 
disappear. On further inspection we notice Exinjeru is now short two 
knives.

Ryoga: [no one can throw a knife that fast! AHHH! He's just playing with me 
he's not even fighting.]

Ryoga charges, Exinjeru lets loose with the rest of his knives. Ryoga is 
able to dodge all but one, which hits him in the right arm.

Ryoga>in a little pain>: AHHH that hurt now your DEAD! [I can't even see 
them when he throws them!]

As Ryoga gets close to Exinjeru they engage in more close combat. Exinjeru 
does a wide horizontal chop. Ryoga jumps back easily avoiding it, but he 
feels a stinging on his chest. He glances down to see his shirt is sliced 
open and there is a shallow cut across his chest. He looks at Exinjeru and 
notices there is something black covering his left arm from his elbow to 
the beginning of his fingers, and there is a blade extending from under his 
palm.

Ranma and Ryoga: [What the?]

The blade slides down to disappear as he closes his fist and a Bo staff 
extends from nowhere, leaving Ranma and Ryoga to gape.

Exinjeru: What? Hey you are we finished can I leave now?

Ryoga snaps out of it and attacks [heh I'll snap that thing like a twig], 
he grabs at the staff only to be slammed to the ground as he was trying to 
break it.

Ryoga: [What is that thing made of?!]

Exinjeru does a few fast swipes with his staff and finishes by knocking 
Ryoga down. Ryoga (of course) just gets up from a blow that would have put 
any normal person down for the count, and gets the end of the staff 
uppercutting his chin as a reward. He (of course) gets up again and 
receives the same treatment.

Exinjeru: Ooooooooooo! Just stay where I leave you!

Ryoga jumps up quickly getting in a few powerful blows and sending Exinjeru 
reeling back as he drops the staff and then falls down on his back.

Exinjeru>on the ground>: Ouch...

As Ryoga attempts to make Exinjeru see a Bakusei Tenketsu up close, 
Exinjeru backrolls away and gets to his feet as the move is unleashed. This 
time Ranma has a clear view as Exinjeru protects himself from the blast 
with a large shield that extends from his arm. As the blast subsides, 
Exinjeru runs straight at Ryoga who prepares for the attack that doesn't 
come. Instead Exinjeru jumps over him and runs toward his bike.

Exinjeru: [*HE rounds*]

Ranma hears a hissing and a sliding of metal on metal as Exinjeru get to 
his bike with Ryoga right behind him. As Ryoga approaches, Exinjeru spins 
on him holding a very large handgun which causes Ryoga to slowly come to a 
stop in front of him.

Ryoga>confused>: [No one has even pulled a gun on me before...]

Exinjeru>notices Ryoga's blank stare, waves gun>: [I doubt this will even 
hurt him] Hey you alive?

That snapped Ryoga out of it, completely forgetting about the gun, he 
attacks. Exinjeru jumps out of the way of Ryoga's first punch landing on 
his side a few yards away, he fires off two rounds hitting the mark, the 
resulting explosion sending a surprised Ryoga up and out of sight.

Exinjeru>on his knees and sounding tired as Ranma jumps down>: That was 
fun...

Ranma>looking up into the sky>: Hey that was almost as far as Akane can hit.

Exinjeru: Who was that anyway?

Ranma: That, was Ryoga.

Exinjeru: Ryoga...? Hey wasn't he the guy that challenged you a couple days 
before you left on your trip?

Ranma: Yeah.

Exinjeru: Uh you think he'll be ok?

Ranma: Oh sure he can take a lot of punishment.

Exinjeru>retrieving his staff>: Good, I don't like killing people.

Exinjeru walks back over, retracting the staff.

Ranma: How do you do that?

Exinjeru: Do what?

Ranma: That stuff with the thing on your arm! And what is it anyway?

Exinjeru: Oh, well it's uh... well... payment for services rendered, yeah.

Ranma: Huh?

Exinjeru: I'll explain everything later ok?

Ranma: Uh ok I guess.

Exinjeru: Aw man my clothes are dirty now! Who taught him the Bakusei 
Tenketsu?

Ranma: How do you know about that?

Exinjeru: Lets just say I learned a few things while traveling.

Exinjeru goes over to his bike and gets on, motioning for Ranma to come 
too. As Ranma comes up Exinjeru sticks the gun in a slot on the side of the 
bike which closes with a slight hiss.

Ranma: Man you must have had some wild times.>gets on the bike>

Exinjeru: I've seen things you wouldn't believe.

Ranma: Ha, wanna put some yen on that?

Exinjeru>grinning>: maybe, things really that crazy around here?

Ranma begins telling him everything as they ride off toward the Tendo dojo.

******************************************************************

Scene: Exinjeru and Ranma ride up to the front of the Dojo

Exinjeru: Cursed springs? In China? Hmmm I think I've been there.

Ranma: You didn't fall in any did you?

Exinjeru: Actually...

enter flashback> I was falling and I looked down and noticed a field of 
springs, which I have to say is a good thing when your falling from 5,000 
feet...

~Ranma~ why WERE you falling from 5,000 feet?
~Exinjeru~ Um I'll tell ya later, anyway...

Exinjeru lands in one of the springs hitting the water fairly fast and 
making a huge splash.

~Exinjeru~ It was really cold but it made me feel all tingly, it was kinda 
neat actually...anyway I climbed out.

Exinjeru drags himself out of the spring as everyone's favorite guide comes 
running up.

Jusenkyo Guide: Sir are you ok?
Exinjeru>shivering>: I'm all right I guess, man that's cold!

The guide thinks for a second, then his eyes go wide.

Guide: SIR! That was spring of drowned falcon! You fall in curse-ed spring 
but you not change!
Exinjeru: What now? Cursed spring?
Guide: Yes sir this famous training ground of curse-ed springs, Jusenkyo. 
When you fall in curse-ed spring you take body of what drown in spring last.
Exinjeru: Hmm I was not aware...
Guide: Please sir be telling me why you not change?
Exinjeru: Dunno...hmm cursed springs heh sounds cool.

~Ranma~ Yea sure, you just go on thinking that.

Scene: Later at the Jusenkyo guide's house, Exinjeru is talking with Plum.
Plum: So you didn't change when you fell in?
Exinjeru: Nope it kinda tingled though.

Exinjeru is slashed with water but doesn't seem to notice.

Exinjeru: so people really change when they fall in those springs?
Plum: Yes, and there are many different springs, the person that falls in 
will change back when hot water touches them.

Exinjeru is splashed again.

Exinjeru: There's an Amazon village near here, do you know how far away it 
is?
Plum: Yes but why do want to go there?
Exinjeru: Well I was...excuse me for a second.

Exinjeru spins around and draws his gun, pointing it at the Jusenkyo guide 
who is standing behind him with another bucket of water. He touches it to 
the guide's forehead, the guide looks at the gun cross-eyed.

~Ranma~ You pulled a gun on the guide?
~Exinjeru~ Hey it wasn't loaded!

Exinjeru: I think its been proven that I'm not gonna change, what do you 
think?

He emphasizes his point by pulling the hammer back.

Guide: Yes sir I am agreeing with you now sir many apologies sir!

Exinjeru uncocks the gun and puts it away. The guide puts the bucket down 
and bows.

Plum: Please leave him alone Father.
Exinjeru: Anyway, I was helping them and I need to get back to their 
village.
Plum: I can take you tomorrow, please stay the night here.

~Exinjeru~ That was my trip to Jusenkyo, I thought it was pretty cool, 
didn't get any souvenirs though, that guy should sell T-shirts or something! 
Yea like "I survived Jusenkyo" or maybe "I got cursed at Jusenkyo and all I 
got was this lousy T-shirt" yea that would be pretty cool!

End flashback>Ranma and Exinjeru are walking up to the front door of the 
Tendo Dojo.

Ranma: You probably wouldn't have thought it was cool if you really got 
cursed...why didn't you get cursed anyway?

Exinjeru: Well I thought about it and I think its because I seem to have a 
high magic resistance.

Ranma: Huh? What's that suppose to mean?

Exinjeru: Well magical things don't seem affect me very well, I think maybe 
it like canceled out the curse or something.

Ranma: I hate you, you know that right?

Exinjeru only grins and shrugs.

Scene: Tendo Dojo, dinner time, everyone is seated around the table, with 
Ranma and Genma doing the usual "training".

Soun: So I hear you do a lot of traveling my boy?

Exinjeru: Yea I've been all over the world in just a year.

Soun: Ah you must have a lot of stories then!

Exinjeru: Uh ah yea...

Soun: Excellent! You must share them with us sometime.

Genma, deciding Exinjeru deserves a little training of his own, begins 
going after Exinjeru's food. Exinjeru notices right away and begins 
parrying Genma's attacks.

Exinjeru: I don't really feel like doin this tonight Mr. Saotome.

Genma: HaHaHa Nonsense! There is always time for training! [Man I can't get 
through at all]

Exinjeru>grinning>: Ok Mr. Saotome, you asked for it.

Parrying the next attack, Exinjeru tosses one chopstick into his other 
hand. The next time Genma attacks, Exinjeru traps Genma's chopsticks for a 
split second before twisting his hands, flinging Genma across to room. 
Everyone stops and looks at Exinjeru.

Exinjeru>grinning>: Grandpa taught me that one, but when he used it on me he 
only uses one hand.

Everyone returns to eating.

Ranma: Hey why were you in an amazon village in China anyway?

Exinjeru: I was helping them out with something.

Ranma: Why would you help amazons? You can't trust em!

Exinjeru>grinning>: Oh I never said I trusted them, I was just helping them 
out cuz I'm too nice for my own good.

Ranma: Why were you helping them, and why were you falling from 5,000 feet?

Exinjeru: Uh well ya see...

Exinjeru breaks off and stares off into space for a second.

Exinjeru: Uh-oh...

Ranma: What?

Everyone stops eating and looks at Exinjeru.(except for Genma since he's 
unconscious)

Exinjeru: Umm we have a slight problem.

Ranma is about to say something when the wall is smashed in and a large, 
horned, clawed, and generally ugly humanoid creature is standing there. 
Everyone stares for a moment before taking cover as the beast fires a ball 
of black energy at Exinjeru who disappears in a burst of flame. Exinjeru 
gone, the creature begins to laugh evilly.

Ranma: HEY UGLY THAT WAS MY BEST FRIEND!

The beast looks down at Ranma who falls into a fighting stance. Before the 
creature has a chance to attack, a bright blue blade comes out if its chest 
and slices upward. As the creature falls the body disappears in a burst of 
black flame, leaving no proof it was even there. Exinjeru is standing in 
the hole in the wall holding a sword with blue energy forming a blade that 
continues past the edge of the sword's real blade making it several feet 
longer.

Exinjeru: Amateur...

Exinjeru looks to see everyone staring at him.

Exinjeru: What?

********************************************************************************

Scene: Early morning, Tendo dojo, Ranma and Genma are sparring in the yard 
as usual. Cut to the spare room where Exinjeru is sleeping.

Exinjeru wakes up, stretches a little, pulls his gun out from under his 
pillow (it has a suppresser on it), and walks downstairs. Exinjeru comes 
out onto the porch. He watches Ranma and Genma spar for a few moments, 
yawns and calmly points the gun at the roof of the porch firing twice. 
Ranma and Genma stop fighting and look over. Exinjeru smiles lazily at 
them, waves, and turns around to go back inside. As Ranma and Genma watch, 
a large, slimy, four-legged creature falls off the roof, twitches, and 
disappears in a burst of black flame.

Ranma: [He's right ya do get use to it...]

Ranma notices Genma is not paying attention and with a grin, sends him in 
to the pond with a roundhouse to the head.

                  The End
