Chapter 2: New Friends, New Insanities

SCENE: Tendo Dojo, everyone is standing outside the living room with his or her ear to the door.

Ranma: How long they been in there?

Soun: I believe they started sometime around 9.

Ranma: [Man it's almost 12! I hope everything is going ok.]

Suddenly the door opens, everyone jumps back. Exinjeru and Nabiki walk out.

Nabiki: The rental contract has been finalized.

With that she turns and walks away, everyone turns and looks at Exinjeru.

Exinjeru: What? Comon Ranma lets go spar.

Ranma: sure.

Exinjeru and Ranma leave, everyone disperses.

Exinjeru and Ranma walk into the dojo, as soon as they are out of sight Exinjeru slumps back against the wall.

Exinjeru: DAMN, she's good...

Ranma: I was gonna warn ya about her.

SCENE: Elsewhere, Nabiki walks into her room, closes and locks her door. She walks over to her desk and drops herself into the chair.

Nabiki>sighs>: Well that was about as fun as a root canal, he's good, now to find out more about this guy.

Nabiki grabs her little black book, opens it to a certain page, and picks up the phone...

SCENE: Inside the Dojo, Ranma and Exinjeru are getting ready to spar, Akane and Genma are watching. Exinjeru takes off his coat, he has a bandoleer holding all his stuff, it goes around his waist like a normal belt with a satchel on the back of his left hip. However it has another strap holding his throwing knives going from his right hip up to his left shoulder, then going around, holding his sword to his back with a small metal strip and connecting back at his right hip. There is an empty gun holster connected between his left shoulder and hip, there doesn't seem to be any kind of fastener anywhere on the entire thing. Exinjeru simply grabs it and pulls, it comes right off with a click, and tosses it with his coat. Then he takes off his T-shirt revealing the muscular chest of a martial artist<heh fan service>. Exinjeru turns to Ranma...

Exinjeru: All set?

Ranma: Yup, you ready to lose?

Exinjeru>laughs>: Ha same old Ranma lets go.

Exinjeru and Ranma bow to each other and begin circling, looking for an opening.

Ranma: So, last night...that was a demon?

Exinjeru rushes in and delivers 6 or 7 lightning fast kicks followed by him dropping to his side on the floor and kicking straight up. Ranma blocks or dodges all of them then tries to catch Exinjeru on the ground but he rolls out of the way easily.

Exinjeru: Yea, they kinda have a thing for me, see I'm like destined to be annoyed by them.

Exinjeru grins, inviting a punch from Ranma, he easily dodges and tries to land a sweepkick which Ranma jumps over.

Ranma: Yea you said something about it being your job?

Exinjeru: Yea, evidently my family has been doing it for a long time, it's why grandfather trained me so much. When I turned 18 last year he gave me that sword, filled me in, gave me the keys to his motorcycle, and told me my destiny would take me where I need to go.

Ranma: That's not your grandfather's motorcycle you have now is it? It's not the one he had last time I was at the dojo.

Exinjeru charges Ranma, jumping and doing a somersault kick to back of his head and knocking him down.

Genma: Watch it boy! You left yourself open that tim-GAK

Genma is quieted by the following equation = Ranma's foot + Genma's face = X.

Find the value of X and you get extra credit :)

Exinjeru: Well, yes it is and no it's not.

Ranma: Hey pretty good, I didn't even see that one coming. So what's that suppose to mean exactly?

Exinjeru: Well it used to be, but it's had quite an overhaul.

Ranma: Is that why it can stand up without anything to hold it?

Exinjeru: Yea it's got a gyrostabilizer system.

Ranma: Sounds expensive...

Exinjeru: Money's not the problem, the problem is that it's not supposed to exist.

Ranma: Uh...then how...?

Exinjeru>grinning>: Tell ya later.

Ranma jumps at Exinjeru and yells "SHOOTING STAR KICK!" however before it connects, Akane gasps as Exinjeru disappears in a burst of blue fire, leaving Ranma standing there confused.

Ranma: [Wait, he did this last night...which means...!]

Too late Ranma realized what was about to happen as Exinjeru grabs him from behind and flings him through the air. Ranma impacts the wall followed shortly by Exinjeru's knee. Ranma gets up and they continue the spar.

Ranma: [So you want special techniques huh?] Heh that's neat trick.

Exinjeru>grinning>: Trick? Why you, ooooooo, now I'm mad.

Ranma: Heh, lemme show you mine...

Exinjeru: Hmmm?

Ranma attacks yelling "KACHU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN!" preparing to send 70 or 80 blows to the same spot in a few milliseconds. It would have worked too, if Exinjeru didn't extend his shield and simply block it.

Ranma>shaking his hand>: Ow ow ow that's hard!

Exinjeru>laughing hard>: Ahaha oh man.

Ranma growls and kicks at Exinjeru's head.

Exinjeru: Hehehe here try this one!

Exinjeru dodges some of Ranma's blows and yells "ANYTHING-GOES KENDO MARTIAL ARTS AMAGURIKEN REVISED!" sending a kick that connects to Ranma's chest sending him sailing across the room.

Ranma>getting up>: Ow I didn't think anyone could master it that way, it's too hard to aim.

Exinjeru: It was a little tricky, but it's bothersome to punch with weapons in your hands.

Ranma and Exinjeru go back to sparring but stick to normal moves as they talk some more.

Ranma: So how do you do that thing with the fire? Can you do other things like that?

Exinjeru: Well, mom and grandfather showed me things I can do.

Ranma: What's that suppose to mean?

Exinjeru: Well basically they are things that I can do without learning them, like ingrained abilities.

Ranma>looking a little downcast>: Oh so you couldn't teach me any?

Exinjeru: Sorry, I just do them even though I don't really know how. I have some normal techniques I could show you sometime.

Ranma>perking up and smiling a little>: Sounds like a plan to me. So what do you do when you want to do that thing with the fire?

Exinjeru: Well basically I just have to focus a little and poof!

Ranma: It's that easy huh? Anything else you can do? What about the thing on your arm?

Exinjeru: Uh well...it has to do with the same story as the bike and...

Ranma>smirking>: Yea yea tell me later right?

Exinjeru: Wow applied memory!

The last statement slightly incurs Ranma's wrath, inciting a flurry of attacks from Ranma resulting in the same from Exinjeru which lasts for several minutes leave both slightly winded.

Exinjeru>bent over, hands on knees>: Stop the ride I wanna get off...

Ranma>leaning against the wall, laughs>: Lets go clean up and go find some lunch.

Akane: [Ranma wouldn't just stop in the middle of a sparring session, who is this guy?]

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

Scene: Ranma and Exinjeru in the soaking in the bath and talking.

Ranma: So are all demons that easy to get rid of?

Exinjeru: Ha I wish, the powerful ones can be hard to beat, I'm sure you'll meet Damsell sooner or later, he's a real pain sometimes.

Ranma: Damsell? Heh what kinda name is that?

Exinjeru>trying not to laugh>: Yea I know I probably shouldn't make fun of a demonlord but I just can't resist. Anyway when you kill a demon you only kill their body in this realm so they go back to wherever they came from.

Ranma: Can they come back?

Exinjeru: Only the annoying ones...

Ranma>grinning>: Like Damsell?

Exinjeru: You got that right, I've killed him about...<thinks for a second> actually I lost count but I think it's around 25 to 30 times.

Ranma: You think he would give up.

Exinjeru: Demons are stubborn I guess, he did almost win a couple times, once he allied with two other demonlords. It took me, mom, dad, and grandfather plus the help of some friends to win.

Ranma: Well I'm always here for you man.

Exinjeru: ha I'm pretty sure you could help a little...

Ranma: Only a little?

Exinjeru gives Ranma the tongue/redeye. Both of them get out and get dried and dressed.

Ranma: Well I'm starved how about you?

Exinjeru: Yea it's been almost 4 hours since I ate.

Ranma>grinning>: Comon, Kasumi is out today so we'd better get going before Akane decides to cook for us.

Exinjeru: She really that bad?

Ranma: Actually she HAS gotten a lot better...now its only classified as a hazardous material, before it was classified as a class 4 biological contaminate. But still I want to get you some good food for our first day out on the town.

Exinjeru>hanging on Ranma's shoulder>: Aw how sweet of you!

Ranma: Stop that...

SCENE: Exinjeru and Ranma walking down a street and talking. Exinjeru is showing Ranma the thing on his left arm.

Exinjeru: She said it was organic, and it's also the same stuff as the armor on my bike.

Ranma: Organic? Doesn't that mean it's alive? Does it think??

Exinjeru: Heh heh no it doesn't think, but it's got memory like a computer does, it stores shapes and recalls the shape when it's told to. The one on my arm doesn't have that much "memory" so it only remembers a few things, like that blade, the shield, and the Bo staff. The material is also indestructible >grins>. It can also form a longer blade above the hand and a parrying surface I designed myself.

Exinjeru puts out his arm and the material on the outside forms a long, blunt, and slightly curved blade that continues out past his elbow and wrist for about 6 inches on each end.

Exinjeru: It's very effective at parrying weapons...>grins evilly>not to mention giving a killer elbow, or a kidney punch.

Exinjeru goes through a couple quick moves as Ranma winces at the thought. Suddenly an inhuman cry pierces the air as a rain of black rose petals begins to fall, then Ranma is accosted from behind by the local psychopath.

Kodachi>hugging Ranma from behind>: Oh my darling Ranma! You escaped that evil girl and you were coming to see me weren't you?

Ranma: AHHH! Lemme go you crazy...Exinjeru gimme some help here...Exinjeru?!

Exinjeru: Wow these are real black rose petals...

Ranma: EXINJERU!

Exinjeru: Wha?

Exinjeru notices Ranma situation.

Exinjeru: Oh, what Ranma?

Kodachi>notices Exinjeru>: oh who is your friend Ranma dear?

Ranma: Umm...er...help...

Suddenly Exinjeru yells, "Look! Its super saijin man!!" and points in the other direction, Kodachi and Ranma both fall for it. Exinjeru touches the back of Kodachi's neck and she falls unconscious.

Ranma: Quick lets go before she wakes up.

Ranma starts pulling Exinjeru away but he runs back and bends over Kodachi for a second then runs back to Ranma with a big grin.

Ranma: Do I really want to know?

Exinjeru: Probably not, comon I'm starved.

Exinjeru squints at the sun for a second, and then what looks like clear plastic comes from behind his ears and forms sunglasses, which darken. Exinjeru smiles at Ranma.

Ranma: [I'm not even gonna ask.] There is something REALLY wrong with that girl.

Exinjeru>smirks>: Nothing that medication and shock therapy couldn't cure.

SCENE: Ucchan's Okonomyaki, Ranma and Exinjeru walk in, Exinjeru's glasses untint and fold away. Ukyo looks up and sees the two.

Ukyo: Ranchan!

Ranma: Heya Ucchan, I wanted you to meet my friend Exinjeru.

Ukyo: Hey there hon, so your Exinjeru, Ranma always used to talk about you. You've known Ranma-honey here even longer than I have.

Exinjeru>grins at Ranma>: Ranma-honey?

Ranma: Uh yea well.

Ukyo: Here lemme make you up something, what'll it be?

Exinjeru: After hearing Ranma rant about how good your food is the whole way here? How can I not? How about something spicy?

Ukyo: Sure thing sugar.

As Ukyo works her usual mastery of her art Ranma notices something.

Ranma>pointing to a small circular scar>: Hey what's that on your hand?

Exinjeru: 9 millimeter.

Ranma: What?

Exinjeru: A 9mm round from a Glock-17 machine pistol.

Exinjeru holds up his hand to show the other side.

Exinjeru>grinning>: See? It went all the way through.

Ranma: ...

Exinjeru: Hey don't worry, it's nothing I get shot all the time.

Ranma: Uh...

Exinjeru: That's nothing look at this one.

Exinjeru pulls the collar of his shirt down to show a large but faded circular scar just beneath his collarbone, it is so faded it's more like a blemish.

Exinjeru>grinning>: It's a .357 magnum hollow-tip, happened about a week ago.

Ukyo: A week ago? Wouldn't it take a lot longer to heal? Not to mention killing you?

Exinjeru: Well it did hurt a lot but I've never let something so simple stop me.

Ukyo: [He calls a bullet simple?]

Ukyo smiles and serves them their food, it's as good as usual and soon both are sated.

Exinjeru: I gotta say that was some of the best food I've had in awhile, I just wish you'd let me pay.

Ukyo: Nonsense! Any friend of Ranma's can eat here free anytime.

Ranma: Well we better get back to the dojo, see ya Ucchan!

Ranma and Exinjeru leave, Ukyo ponders...

Ukyo: Nice guy...maybe I could fix him up with Akane or Shampoo...no, those days are over...well maybe shampoo.

As Ukyo goes back to her usual place she feels a rustling in her hair, she reaches up to find a 1000 yen bill that's been folded into a cross, tucked above her ear.

Ukyo: Or maybe Nabiki would be a better choice... [How'd he get it there without me noticing?]

Fade out to next scene, Ranma and Exinjeru are standing on the sidewalk, Ranma is soaking wet, Exinjeru is snickering, and the old sidewalk-washer lady is going about her business.

Exinjeru: I can see how that can get annoying after awhile.

Ranma-chan: You don't even know the half of it.

Exinjeru: I dunno I don't see too much of a problem with it.

Exinjeru stoops down and puts his arm over Ranma's shoulder.

Exinjeru>grinning>: You ARE more manageable this way.

Ranma just rolls her eyes as Exinjeru lets go and ruffles her hair. Just prior to this event the local Blue Thunder came walking around the corner, all Kuno saw was someone accosting his beloved. He hefts his mighty bokken"O"justice...

Kuno: FIEND! HOW DARE THEE SULLY THE PURITY OF THE PIG-TAILED ONE!
Exinjeru>whispers to Ranma>: Jealous boyfriend? >Gets WHAPPED by Ranma> ow...
Kuno: THIS OFFENSE CANNOT BE FORGIVEN, I SHALL SMITE THEE IN THE NAME OF MINE GODDESS!
Exinjeru: Umm he always like this? Ranma-chan: Yeah...
Kuno: TAKE HEED OF MY GREATNESS NOW FOR THERE IS NO TATEWAKI KUNO IS THE NEXT LIFE!

Exinjeru finally gets tired of Kuno's ranting and steps forward.

Kuno: NOW BY THE POWER OF THE MIGHTY BLUE THUND-bap

Kuno is interrupted by a small a small stone smacking him in the forehead.

Exinjeru: Excuse me.

Kuno: You have no right to speak peasant, but I shall show mine mercy and allow thee a plea, >points bokken at Exinjeru's throat> a SHORT plea.

Exinjeru: Your so generous, now what's your gripe with me?

Kuno: Gripe? GRIPE? The great Tatewaki Kuno does not gripe! I witnessed with mine own two eyes your assault on the fair maiden, I must punish you in her name
Cur!

Exinjeru: But-

Kuno: SILENCE! I have been merciful to let you go unpunished this long! PREPARE FOR THE VENGENCE OF THE BLUE THUND-

Exinjeru: Oh fine just comon already!

Kuno, enraged at being interrupted yet again, moves to smite Exinjeru thusly. Exinjeru just stands there. As Kuno strikes there is a flash of silver and his blade is stopped. Exinjeru has drawn his sword and is holding Kuno back easily.

Exinjeru: Bout time, I was getting bored.

Kuno>a shrewd look coming over his face>: I see you carry your blade with you, it takes a skilled hand to wield a watashi properly.

Exinjeru>shrugs>: Eh it's a living.

Kuno scowls and presses his attack, <the details of the fight are too much for me, just imagine Kuno fighting someone with a sword that is better than he is> after a few exchanges Kuno's downward stroke is halted by Exinjeru grabbing the blade with his left hand. Exinjeru then proceeds to liberally beat Kuno about the ribs following with a sweep kick putting Kuno down then executing a shaolin kick knocking the wind out of him.

Exinjeru>bending over Kuno>: You okay man?

Kuno's only response is a quiet gasping noise.

Exinjeru>grinning>: Good! I thought I might have hurt you. Well I gotta get going see ya around!

Exinjeru walks over to Ranma who is chuckling, they both begin to walk away.

Ranma-chan: How did you stop his bokken with your hand? It should have shattered your wrist.

Exinjeru just smirks and shows Ranma that the armor on his left arm goes across his palm also.

Exinjeru: It doesn't just protect, it also supports my arm.

Kuno>rasping, barely audible>: Wait...

Exinjeru>turns back toward Kuno>: What?

Kuno>rasping, barely audible>: Let me know the name and school of the one who has bested me in honorable combat...

Exinjeru>whispers to Ranma>: Honorable? Did he already forget that I "accosted" you?

Ranma-chan: Probably, he has a pretty short attention span.

Kuno>rasping, barely audible>: I.....must know.

Exinjeru strikes a Blue Thunder pose(tm) and speaks in a campy voice "Fear not! For you have been defeated by Exinjerukarachi Kihin of the Kihin School of Anything-goes Kendo martial arts! Take honor in that!"

Kuno>rasping, barely audible>: Yes...I will...and mayhaps sometime in...the...

Kuno's eyes roll back in his head and goes silent.

Ranma-chan: Hmm he passed out.

Exinjeru: Well you shouldn't talk so much when you get the wind knocked out of ya, you might pass out from lack of oxygen.

Ranma and Exinjeru walk away.

Ranma-chan: Oh? And when did you become a doctor?

Exinjeru: College.

Ranma-chan>looks at ground>: Oh...

Exinjeru: Ha! You're so gullible!

Ranma-chan: Why you!!

Ranma swings at Exinjeru who ducks out of the way.

Exinjeru: Too slow nya nya!

Ranma chases Exinjeru across the rooftops on the way back to the dojo, they come across Happosai going about his daily grind.

Happosai: Whatta haul! Whatta haul!

Happosai notices Ranma...

Happosai>GLOMP>: Oh hello there sweet stuff!

Ranma-chan: AHHHHHHHHH! Get offa me you old pervert.

Ranma punches Happosai into the roof, the old lech pops back up like nothing happened and looks at Exinjeru who stopped and came back when he noticed Ranma wasn't chasing him anymore.

Happosai>inspecting Exinjeru>: Who is you friend here Ranma? Shouldn't you introduce him?

Ranma-chan: Forget about him, it's none of your business ya old freak.

Exinjeru: No it's okay Ranma, the name's Exinjeru Kihin.

Happosai: Oh? Would that be Exinjerukarachi Kihin?

Exinjeru>nonchalontly puts hand on the hilt of his sword>: yeah...

Happosai>smiles>: Hmmm interesting, well I've got to get going see you boys later!

Happosai grabs his bag and leaps off the roof. Exinjeru and Ranma exchange glances, Exinjeru's is calm yet confused but Ranma's is worried. Suddenly Exinjeru looks surprised.

Exinjeru: Hey that guy was part demon!

Ranma-chan: You sure? Although it wouldn't surprise me.

Exinjeru: Hey comon this IS my area of expertise.

Ranma-chan: Ok ok, so what do we do about it?

Exinjeru>shrugs>: Nothin TO do, if something comes up I'll be ready, comon lets go.

Ranma and Exinjeru continue back to the dojo as a figure watches them from its hiding place.

Happosai: [This could be very bad. I've heard what he has done to full demons, and I'm only one-forth. I'd better take care of him before it's too late.]

For you see, among most demons the champion is said to be a bloodthirsty slayer, who kills demons indiscriminately. This could not however be further from the truth. Meanwhile Ranma and Exinjeru are walking up the street towards the dojo.

Ranma-chan: I would have thought you would care a little more about there being a demon living with you.

Exinjeru: Why? There are lots of demons on earth that don't bother anyone, well at least not enough to deserve killing. Not all demons are evil, a lot are, but most just have no sense of what mortals consider good or evil.

Ranma-chan: So you're saying that there are good demons?

Exinjeru: Yea, sure there are. There's one that I um, well that is...

Exinjeru laughs lightly and puts his hand on the back of his head, very much like Ryoga does. Ranma immediately catches on and smiles.

Ranma-chan: What's her name?

Exinjeru>Tofu grin(tm)>: Miko.

Ranma-chan: And she's a demon?

Exinjeru: Well she's half demon and I really um...like her...a lot. We go out whenever we both have time. I'm just glad her father isn't on earth a lot.

Ranma-chan: On earth?

Exinjeru: yea he spends a lot of time here but just as much in the Shikima realm.

Ranma and Exinjeru reach the dojo and enter the gate.

Ranma-chan: Shikiwhatsis??

Exinjeru: Heh heh, the Shikima realm, he's a demon and that's the realm he comes from.

Ranma-chan: I take it he doesn't like you very much?

Exinjeru: Oh no it's not like that, the guy can't get enough of me. He's ten feet tall, looks like he's made of stone, and has a build you wouldn't believe.
The thing is when he's alone with family he goes from the strong silent type to the bubbly-father-with-a-daughter >Exinjeru thinks for a moment> a lot like Mr. Tendo actually, it's kinda scary.

Ranma tries to imagine what Exinjeru is saying and starts to chuckle, Exinjeru soon joins in. Ranma and Exinjeru come in the door laughing, Akane notices.

Akane: [Ever since that letter came Ranma's been in such a good mood.]

Exinjeru slaps Ranma on the shoulder and heads off towards the bathroom as Ranma heads into the kitchen.

SCENE: Ranma in the kitchen with Kasumi.

Ranma-chan: Hey Kasumi could you heat me up some water?

Kasumi: Of course Ranma.

Nabiki walks in.

Nabiki>grinning>: Hey Ranma can I talk to you for a second?

Ranma-chan: Uh sure, I guess.

Ranma and Nabiki step outside.

Nabiki: Now, Ranma, dear, would you like a little information on your friend for the modest sum of 1000 yen?

Ranma turns immediately and starts to walk away.

Ranma-chan: Don't even try it Nabiki, I don't care.

Nabiki: [Damn! Gotta think fast...] You wouldn't wonder why your friend technically doesn't exist?

Ranma stops and looks back at Nabiki.

Ranma-chan: What's that suppose to mean? And I'm not paying a single yen, you either say something or I'm leaving.

Nabiki: [Shoot he must be REALLY good friends with this guy. Well, maybe I can bait him into paying.] Well, it's just I wanted to run a few checks on him, you know because I care about my brother-in-law to be.

Ranma-chan: So? Why should I care?

Nabiki: No matter where I checked I couldn't find anything, but when I ran his license plate number it came up with a government waiver but didn't give any other information besides his drivers license number, then I noticed something really interesting.

Ranma-chan: And what was that?

Nabiki's only answer was a questioning look that said "how much is it worth to you?". Ranma's answer was a look that Nabiki immediately recognized as meaning that Ranma wouldn't back down from this.

Nabiki: [Oh well, maybe I can get some info out of him then.] When I checked the drivers license number assigned to the vehicle plate, it gave me the same government waiver and the plate number. Intriguing no?

Ranma-chan>not understanding a thing Nabiki is saying>: Uh so what's that suppose to mean?

Nabiki>sighs>: It's a loop, no matter which way you go it tells you that he checks out okay and sends you in the other direction.

Ranma-chan: Uh...so that means?

Nabiki>massages her temples>: It's something a government official would use when he goes on vacation and doesn't want anyone knowing who he is.

Ranma-chan>confused>: But Exinjeru isn't a government official...

Nabiki: [Praise Kami-sama he's seen the light.] Yes that means someone set this up for him illegally.

Ranma-chan: Well with the way he does things I can see how that could help... [Oops I shouldn't have said that much, I know she suspects something with that demon showing up last night but I don't know how much Exinjeru wants people to know.]

Nabiki: What "things" would those be Ranma?

Ranma-chan: [Oh man oh man oh man.]

About this time Ranma started praying, he'd never been particularly religious but it seemed someone was listening...

Kasumi: Ranma! Your water is ready!

Ranma-chan: Uh gotta go Nabiki see ya!

Ranma disappears faster than the eye can see.

Nabiki: There's something weird going on here.

SCENE: The kitchen, Ranma(back in male form) is walking out, the phone rings, Kasumi picks it up.

Kasumi: Hello, Tendo residence.

Voice on phone: Hello I understand this is where Exinjeru Kihin is staying right now?

Kasumi: Why yes, would you like me to get him for you?

VOP: Yes, thank you.

Kasumi puts the phone down and goes out to the living room where Ranma, Exinjeru, and Akane are watching that new anime about a lecherous martial artist who protects earth from giant monsters in a large purple robot while being swooned over by the alien princesses of 5 different planets.

Ranma: Hey Akane the one with the green hair and horns has a temper just like you-WHAM.

Exinjeru winces as Ranma gets malleted. Akane gets up and leaves, leaving the mallet imbedded in Ranma. Exinjeru leans over to Ranma who is in the normal "I just got malleted and I'm in pain" stance, fingers in the warding position and all.

Exinjeru: You see Ranma there's this thing, it's called tact, remind me to explain it to you sometime.

If Ranma were able to, he probably would have swung at Exinjeru...if he were able to. Kasumi walks up.

Kasumi: Exinjeru you have a phone call.

Exinjeru>going to the phone, confused>: A call? No one should know I'm here yet.

Exinjeru picks up the phone.

Exinjeru: Hello?

VOP>suddenly all loud and cheery>: HI THERE! Were you trying to hide from me or something?

Exinjeru>rolls his eyes and smiles>: No of course not! I was just on the road for awhile and then I got caught up with my old friend Ranma and...

VOP: Ok ok I believe you! So when do I get to see you?

Exinjeru: Well I'll be at the Kihin dojo Wednesday, you could just come by.

VOP: Ok see you there champ.

Exinjeru: Heh ok bye.

Exinjeru hangs up the phone and goes back over to the couch. He pulls the mallet off of Ranma and sits down as the credits roll and Fly me to the moon plays.

Ranma>getting up>: Man that has to be the most annoying song I have ever heard.

Exinjeru>grinning>: Hey I like it, I think its got a good beat.

Ranma: Hey ya know my mom should be back tonight, she's in Tokyo visiting her brother.

Exinjeru: I was wondering where she was.

Exinjeru stares off into space for a second then grins at Ranma.

Exinjeru: Time to get to work, wanna come gimme a hand Ranma?

Ranma: What? You mean your gonna go fight a demon?

Exinjeru: It's possible, I'm just going to check it out.

Ranma>smiles>: Sounds like fun.

SCENE: An empty lot somewhere in Nerima. Happosai is standing in front of what looks to be a normal man, except for the strange markings on his face and the fact that he is 12 feet tall and has a huge sword on his belt.

Sora: Who summons Sora of the 4th circle?

Happosai: I do!

Sora: What do you want of me Half-breed?

Happosai: I just have someone for you to take care of for me, and don't call me half-breed.

Sora: You wish me to kill someone? BAH pathetic, who would this one be?

Happosai: Ah not so fast tough guy the one I'm talking about is Exinjerukarachi Kihin, that sound familiar?

Sora: Ah you speak of the champion, perhaps this would be worth my trouble.

SCENE: Ranma and Exinjeru are standing next to Exinjeru's bike.

Exinjeru>taking off his coat>: Here put this on, it's warded against magic, it'll help if energy starts getting tossed around.

Ranma: Ok if you say so.

Exinjeru runs off with Ranma close behind. They come up to a wall and peek over.

Ranma>whispering>: Hey that's Happosai, figures the little pervert would be causing trouble...and that's gotta be the biggest sword I've ever seen!

Ranma looks over at Exinjeru who loads into his gun a black clip with a silver etched cross on it. Ranma raises an eyebrow at Exinjeru.

Exinjeru>smirks>: Magic warded rounds, how many movies you seen where a demon is hurt by bullets?

Ranma>thinking>: Uh I dunno...oh ok I get it. So what's the plan?

Exinjeru: Well, unless you think you can tear his head off with your bare hands, my sword seems the only choice. Keep an eye on the dinky old guy for me, and watch my back.

Exinjeru gives Ranma the V-sign and calmly walks into the open. Sora slowly turns to face him.

Exinjeru>smiling>: Hi there! How ya doing? Planning on killing any innocents tonight?

Sora>draws sword>: Ah you have shown yourself finally and no, the only one who will die tonight is you.

Happosai>from Sora's shoulder>: Yeah that's it gittem Sora my boy!

Sora>flicks Happosai casually into a tree>: Begone little half-breed and leave me to my work.

Exinjeru>shrugs>: Sooo...no way we can talk about this?

Sora>laughs>: I shall enjoy this.

Exinjeru>pulls sword>: [Must be a masochist.] Hurry up I wanna be home before dark.

Sora>charges Exinjeru>: You will see what happens to those who mock Sora of the 4th circle.

Exinjeru>grins>: I'm game if you are.

Sora swings his massive sword in a way that would cleave a man in half. Exinjeru sidesteps at the very last second with inhuman speed. Sora swings his sword toward Exinjeru rending the ground and sending dirt flying. Exinjeru dives between Sora's legs and comes up standing behind him. With a metallic swish, the energy blade on Exinjeru's sword snaps into existence in all of its 6-foot glory. Exinjeru swings it in a downward slash but Sora moves his huge sword with amazing speed, blocking the attack.

Happosai: Hmm maybe I should leave just in case he loses.

Sounds of fighting in the background, Happosai turns around to find Ranma standing behind him.

Ranma: Where do you think your going ya old freak?

Happosai: Why home of course Ranma.

Scene shifts far off viewpoint and we see Ranma fly straight up. Scene shift back to the fight. Sora and Exinjeru are facing off.

Sora: See my anger take form boy!

Sora yells something in an unknown language and swings his fist at the ground. On the way a glowing aura surrounds his arm, when it hits the ground the energy cracks the earth causing protrusions of rock to come up in a line heading straight at Exinjeru. Dust obscures Sora's vision, as it begins to clear Exinjeru is nowhere to be seen. Sora hefts his sword, waiting for an attack.

As the rock shoots up around him Exinjeru jumps up springing from one protrusion to another, ending up standing on one foot on the highest one. He looks down, trying to see where Sora is.

Exinjeru: Damn can't see through all this dust.

The clear glasses form again but instead of darkening, they tint blue showing Exinjeru an infrared view. Exinjeru clearly sees Sora standing on the ground, he pulls out his gun.

Exinjeru>to himself>: Smile, you're on candid camera.

As the dust clears completely Sora still doesn't see Exinjeru. He feels a burning pain in his shoulder as a shot rings in the air. Sora looks down to see thick purple blood running from a wound on his shoulder, he immediately looks up where Exinjeru is just in time to receive a bullet in the right eye. Exinjeru jumps off the rock pillar, on the way down he fires 5 more times, emptying the clip, he sheaths his gun and raises his sword as the glasses fold away.

Ranma finally lands and hears the gunshots as he gets up.

Ranma: Oh man Exinjeru!

Ranma runs back to the lot. When he gets there he sees Exinjeru and Sora with swords locked together, Sora is bleeding from several wounds but Exinjeru is being pushed back. Ranma runs up behind Sora.

Ranma: MOKO TAKABISHA!

Sora is knocked off balance by Ranma's attack allowing Exinjeru to break free and roll away.

Exinjeru: Thanks Ranma, careful he's WATCH IT!

Sora spins and hits Ranma with a huge energy blast sending him flying back. Ranma slams into a tree making it collapse. Exinjeru is not worried when the energy hit Ranma because he saw it flow around him, thanks to the coat. He takes the opportunity to attack making a wide gash across Sora's back before he regains Sora's attention. They exchange more attacks until Sora is a little to slow and loses an arm, he strikes out in rage slashing Exinjeru's chest before he could dodge. Their next attacks both come around at the same time, Exinjeru's blade cutting down deep into Sora's right shoulder and Sora's sword lodging just below Exinjeru's right hip. Time seems to stop, Exinjeru doesn't seem to be in as much pain as he should and Sora just stares at Exinjeru with a glowing red eye.

Sora: Now you die boy, you will truly see how my rage gives me power.

Exinjeru>a smirk showing through the pain on his face>: Funny, same here.

Ranma wakes up to see Exinjeru and Sora with their swords cutting into each other. He's about to jump up and help when he hears Exinjeru shout "HIRYU-SHOTEN-HA!". Ranma realizes exactly how much anger this demon has at the moment.

Ranma: Oh shit.

Ranma dives behind the fallen tree, takes cover, and prays to whoever is listening. The whirlwind kicks up destroying the rock pillars and everything else in the area. As the tree Ranma is behind gets dragged away, the wind starts to die down revealing Exinjeru standing alone, the energy blade on his sword gone. Ranma runs over as Exinjeru falls to his knees.

Ranma: EXINJERU! You okay!?

Exinjeru>looking at his cut shirt>: Bastard ruined my favorite shirt...

Ranma>laughs nervously>: I think you'll live. [Those wounds are pretty bad I sure hope he'll be ok.]

Sora hits the ground nearby creating a small crater. Exinjeru stands up and limps over to Sora who is bleeding out of his mouth, nose, and ears not to mention all his wounds. The energy blade on Exinjeru's sword appears and he points it at Sora's throat.

Exinjeru: It's over, go home.

Sora looks at Exinjeru with his one good eye, all his rage gone he chuckles softly.

Sora: Yes it is indeed over, I see now the >cough> folly of attacking you. I was merely seeking fame by defeating you, I bear you no ill will I hope you do the same for me.

Exinjeru>puts away his sword and smiles>: No problem, I'm too nice for my own good anyway.

Sora sits up and closes his eye, his body starts to burn in black flame.

Sora>just before he disappears completely>: Be wary, I may return one day to test my skill against you again.

Ranma and Exinjeru both face fault. Sirens are heard in the distance.

Exinjeru: Time to go. Help me back to my bike.

Ranma>helps Exinjeru>: Are you gonna be ok?

Exinjeru>laughs then winces>: This is nothing I'll be back at full strength by morning.

They get on the bike and Exinjeru drives off before the police get there.

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

SCENE: Exinjeru and Ranma drive up to the front of the dojo as it's getting dark. It begins to rain as they get off the bike.

Ranma: You sure your gonna be ok?

Exinjeru: Jeez Ranma I'm fine, look the bleeding's already stopped.

Ranma>notices the rain starting>: Great this is just perfect.

As they get to the door Ranma notices something.

Ranma: HEY I'M STILL A GUY!

Exinjeru: How bout that, I guess the magic in my coat keep you from changing.

Ranma: Does this mean I'm cured?

Exinjeru grins and gives him his answer...he pulls the coat off Ranma and puts it back on, leaving a wet, annoyed Ranma-chan.

Ranma-chan>as Exinjeru closes the fasteners on his coat>: Whatja do that for?!

Exinjeru>shrugs>: Hey you wanted to know.

As they come in the front door Nodoka comes out from the kitchen.

Nodoka: Oh Ranma hello dear, my your all wet.

Nodoka produces towels for both of them.

Nodoka: Whose your Friend Ranma?

Exinjeru: You don't recognize me Ms. Saotome?

Nodoka>thinks for a moment>: You do look familiar...

Ranma-chan: Mom, it's Exinjeru.

Nodoka>recognition in her eyes>: My you've sure grown Exinjeru, come here and let me see you.

Nodoka looks him over and gives him a hug.

Nodoka: How's Benten?

Exinjeru>smiling>: Fine last time I checked, I've been on the road a lot. I was gonna bring Ranma home with me later this week, anyone who wants to come along can go.

Nodoka: Yes I would like that.

Exinjeru: I'd love to talk but I really need to clean up.

Exinjeru walks out as Nodoka hands Ranma a kettle. A little while later Nodoka comes into the kitchen, Kasumi turns around and puts her hand over her month when she sees Nodoka.

Kasumi: Oh my! Aunt Saotome is that blood?

Nodoka>surprised>: What?

Nodoka looks down and sees blood on her kimono.

Nodoka: Don't worry about it Kasumi. [Did this get on me when I hugged Exinjeru? I hope he is all right, now that I think about it he WAS limping.]

SCENE: Ranma comes into the living room, Akane and Nabiki are on the couch.

Akane: Ranma where were you?! I saw on the news there was a tornado! They had a tape of it and it looked like a Hiryu-shoten-ha, was that you?

Ranma: No actually it was Exinjeru.

Nabiki: Exinjeru knows that technique? Interesting.

Ranma is mentally kicking himself for letting something slip about Exinjeru again as the scene fades out to the bathroom. Exinjeru is sitting in the furo staring at the ceiling.

Exinjeru: [He wasn't too tough, but it would have been harder if Ranma hadn't been there. He's a good friend, I'm glad I got back in touch with him.]

Exinjeru closes his eyes and sinks down lower in the furo.

Exinjeru>smiling>: [Overall, it's good to be me.]

Pan back to show Exinjeru is being watched through a magic jewel on the end of a large ornate sword. It's owner is a normal looking man with demon markings on his face and long white hair tied in a long braid hanging over his shoulder. He is sitting in a chair in a small room with several other entities.

Damsell: [Bah see him enjoy himself, I shall return soon and then we will see how much fun you have.]

Damsell starts to laugh maniacally, after a while he stops when he notices all the demons, spirits, and other evil entities are staring at him. The succubus at the desk calls out the number 2,343,890,023. A large red demon with lots of horns gets up and goes over to the desk. Damsell looks down at his ticket and visibly slumps.

Damsell>sigh>: [12,543,980,621...Curse you Kihin...]

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

SCENE: Next morning, Tendo bathhouse. Kasumi is getting clothes for the wash. She stops when she find Exinjeru's shirt and pants, they are soaked with blood, some of it purple. The shirt has a long slash down the front and the pants have a large gash below the right hip. Kasumi can only think of one thing to say...

Kasumi: Oh my!

            The End...for now!


Coming very very very soon (I promise!) the next chapter,
