Well dear readers I had a little brain storm and thought up the next chapter of Histories Strongest Disciple Ranma? while I lack ideas for my other fiction The Invader and The Emperor (my previous work that is a Ranma/Urusei Yatsura crossover).
Now for this chapter: about the pairing... I still couldn't think up one... I guess I CAN go with a Ranma/Miu pairing and then do a side story that focuses on Ranma/Shigure... man... will that be a lot of work!
Well let's cut the ranting and start the chapter shall we?

Part 2: Greeting Ryouzanpaku style!
The one known as Saotome Ranma heir to the Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu followed his Grandmaster Happosai also known as a notorious panty thief. The two were getting farther by the minute from the well known districts and soon the people looked at them with large eyes.
“(I guess roof hopping isn't that accepted in Nerima as I thought...)” Ranma wondered what would happen if he would suddenly jump down and start walking like a normal person but the thought of arriving latter to his goal over ruled the first idea.
“What is it Ranma? Your getting farther away, hurry it up or I'll leave you here.” The old master started into an evil cackle that irritated the young fighter who increased his speed till he was right next to the old man.
“Kisama jijii, if you want we can take a break!” Ranma shot back at the cackling Happosai that suddenly become silent. After Happosai pulled out a paper from his shirt and whacked it on Ranma's forehead resulting in the young fighter stumbling for a moment till he could regain his view on the world.
“What was that for?! What the heck is this?”
“That is the map to Ryouzanpaku... you had a big mouth so how about a race there?” The old man shot a glance to his young trainee. Since Genma had beaten it into Ranma that refusing a challenge is unmanly, not to mention that such things are prohibited in this style.
“You're on themae jiji.” Ranma then increased his speed leaving the old man behind him before he looked on the map.
“(Let's see, five houses forward... two corners left then I should see a school...)” Ranma looked around and saw a large building in the distance and steered towards it.
All the while the denizens looked astonished at the young man that jumped from roof top to roof top and sometimes even running on the wall to reach the higher roof top.
A police officer who saw the event, resigned later that day with the reason of mental stress getting to him.

“Come on! Come on! Move it! I can't believe this, a teacher can't be late! I MUST show an example to the staff and the students.” The bald history teacher felt the need to bang his head on the steering wheel because of the traffic jam. If the traffic would just get back to normal then he would still get there in time. Just as he was about to give gas something appeared before his car! After screaming so loud that everyone could hear it from outside the car while the windows were shut tight, Fukujirou Yasunaga calmed down enough to see what landed before him.
It was a raven haired boy wearing black Chinese shirt with black pants to go with it.
He quickly got out of the car the boy looked at him with curiosity.
“Hey you! You shouldn't run before a car! You could have been run over!” The man known as Fukujirou Yasunaga said strictly to the boy, who didn't really took notice and looked away before the bald man could finish.
“I'm talking to you! Are you even listenin...” Yasunaga tried to grab onto the boy's arm when suddenly the unknown boy jumped up and landed on the top of a five floor building!
Not knowing what to do Fukujirou Yasunaga became silent, sat into his car and went to work all the way he was silent.

“Kusottare jiji! That old man dared to laugh at me! It's not my fault the rail BROKE when I landed on it... okay it might be...” The Saotome heir ran like never before trying to catch up to the grandmaster of his school. Happosai was only a little farther ahead of him and to irk Ranma even more the old man spat insults about Ranma's speed and that he should just turn back!
“(That's it!)” Ranma couldn't take any more of Happosai and his jokes, he let his battle aura out and ran like never before.
“What's up? Need a break...AH!” Happosai was about to goad the boy a little more but the crimson tinted teal aura that surrounded his apprentice spoke volumes to him that it is a VERY FUCKING good time to stop taunting and concentrate on running!
For the next minute or so the grandmaster was running for his life as the killing intent just radiated of Ranma! Before long Happosai had to realise that without his own battle aura he doesn't has a chance to run away.
“(Ranma is already a jump or two away from me, this might work... I hope it does!) HAPPO TAIYO KAREN!” Ranma was about to dodge the bomb his master threw at him but it exploded right in front of him, instead of the large explosive ones this worked as a flash grenade blinding the pigtailed fighter.
Seeing that he had breath or two to release his battle aura Happosai tapped into his ki reserves and unleashed his dark purple aura.
“Been waiting, themae jijii!” Ranma smirked as he rubbed his eyes, trying to regain his eye sight. At this the grandmaster could only smile, his heir just might prove to worth the effort.
“Come one we don't want to be late do we?” His anger forgotten Ranma followed his master's lead.

The philosopher martial artist also known as Akisame Koetsuji walked into the living room saw something out of place. Normally there was always some snacks in the room but usually it meant that someone was also eating it. When the owner of the dojo walked in Akisame had to satisfy his curiosity.
“Elder is there something special about today or are we expecting someone to visit?”
“Well Akisame and old friend of mine informed me that he well be arriving today with his heir.”
“Heir? Do I know this friend of yours?”
“You might, have you ever heard of Happosai?” At Hayato's last word Akisame didn't answer instantly. He took his time to search through every part of his memory.
“I have heard it some where... mostly concerning, stealing and molesting but that can't be the same person as your friend.” When the elder started laughing the mustachio martial artist felt nervous for a moment about the upcoming events.
“(Well if that fried is that Happosai... then I wonder about this `heir'...)”
Unknown to the two wise martial artist the conversation was overheard, by a stealthy ninja woman and a sneaky Chinese master.
While Ma Kensei was thinking about how can these guests increase the entertainment around the dojo, the weapon mistress Kousaka Shigure wondered why was that name familiar.

Unknown to the inhabitants of Ryouzanpaku dojo there guest were already at the corner.
“So jiji... tell me again, exactly WHY can't we just jump OVER the fence?”
“Well my boy that is a good question. I have got two answers. The first: that would be rude and while normally I would do that without a care in the world. This is an old friend of mine and I don't want to be rude with him.”
“True. I wouldn't want to anger Tofu or anyone else for that matter if I hadn't seen then for a while and by knowing you I would say it WAS a while.”
“Sometimes I really wish that Cologne would have taken you to the Amazon village...” Happosai wasn't too happy with his heir's act, maybe because he reminded him of his younger ages.
“And sometimes I wish that you would have stayed in your cave.” The young Saotome couldn't hold back to frustrate the old man a little more, even if he forgave for all his acts against him he still felt that Happosai deserved at least this much.
“Here we are Ranma.” The grandmaster of the Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu looked forwards and before them was a huge gate, even on the Phoenix people didn't have a gate this large.
“ That's one door you'll never miss even if drunk... you get it.” The heir to the Musabetsu Kakuto Saotome Ryuu spoke to his grand master who held back a laugh but a well knowing smile appeared on his lips.
“Well what are you waiting for? Open it Ranma.”
“Sure.” As the pigtailed fighter was ready to push the gate he found that it barely moved!
“(Fine... the normal way won't work... I guess then ki is the only way.)” As he was about to start the second round with the gate he was stopped by pat on his leg.
“This is a test Ranma. I know your strong if you enhance yourself with ki but what are you capable of without it?” Usually a question like this would make Ranma laugh, a martial artist without ki seemed unnatural to him. Yet he understood what the old man wanted of him.
“Fine I'll do it without ki. It will be easy.” Ranma started round two with the door and after a strong push he finnaly opened the door halfway, he could through the crack but his ego told him that he should open it completely.
“You got some strength in you brat.” An unknown voice surprised Ranma. As he turned around he saw a tall man... a tall and very muscular man who had a bag full of... alcohol products in his hand?
“You live here be chance?” The young man asked the muscle mountain who opened a can of beer and drank it in a matter of moments.
“Why would that matter to you?” The older male spat out and opened another can of beer.
“'Cause I will be here to train!” Ranma yelled out and pushed the door completely open this time, his strength multiplied by his anger
“(The kid's got great potential... it might be fun to spar with him.)” The tall man unknowingly smiled at the kid who started walking towards the front door with such confidence that it radiated of him.
When Happosai was about to push the door bell, suddenly a key fell into his tiny hands. The old master looked up and saw the tall man drinking his beer to hide a smile.
“(Tough on the outside, gentle in the inside... this moving muscle of mountain isn't that bad.)”
“Yo!”
“Okayry Shio-san! You brought some friends of yours?” To the interest of the two unknown martial artists a VERY buxom blonde girl greeted them, her aura serenity like what Kasumi usually gives off.
Yet to those who look underneath the underneath could tell that inside this girl was a spitfire, waiting to set lose.
“I guess you can call them that... the kid is here to train.” The man named as Shio pointed at Ranma before walking into another part of the house.
“I see you are here to train. Well you should talk with my grandfather but for the moment he is waiting for an old friend of his.” The blond girl gave a slight bow before showing a hypnotizing smile.
“LUCKY!” It was maybe a joke made by Fate when suddenly Happosai rocketed towards the buxom blond.
Said blonde girl took up a stance but before she could have done anything the old man was suddenly smashed to the ground.
“Themea jijii! It was bad at home but even here you won't change!?” The raven haired boy grabbed the old man who was unconscious from the sudden impact. The grandmaster still wouldn't wake so Ranma started shaking him before slapping him two times.
“What is this ruckus? Happosai?” An unknown elderly voice boomed in the room and when Ranma looked there he saw another moving muscle mountain with a lot of hair.
“Been a long time Hayato. I see your taste hasn't changed.” Ranma eyed the blond buxom girl who shuddered before quickly went out of the room.
“Ara... you misunderstand, the girl was my granddaughter.” The man Happosai addressed as Hayato broke out into a laughter at his tiny friends eyes with grew four sizes at least.
“Well THAT was unexpected... and all I have are two fools for disciples and this moron for a heir.”
“Who do YOU call a moron!?” The pigtailed fighter reached for his master's shirt to make sure he can't escape from his punch but was suddenly through the room. Even if he landed on his feet showing a grace shown by felines mostly he still felt angered that not also is he insulted but then HE is the one who has to be put into his place!
“I see that your heir as you called him is quite a spitfire.” The owner of the establishment knew that whit his old friend near he will NEVER get bored.
“More like a hard headed moronic stallion.” The dwarf sized grand master pulled out his pipe and started to smoke but soon found himself planted deep in the floor.
“I don't care that you are supposed to be the grand master of my school I'll still kick your ass!” Ranma felt nicer knowing that he can still crush the gnome into the floor boards.
To the confusion of the young Saotome boy Hayato Furinji started laughing then invited them into the house and the two followed him.
“So what brings you here to my humble home?”
“To start I would like my heir to collect some knowledge and experience and while being on a trip is fine. I don't think EITHER of us could stomach each other for a long period.” Happosai spoke the last words with as many venom one could then took his cup of tea to wet his throat.
“You got that right!” Ranma put his view as well and received a glare from his master that he returned full heartedly.
“I see that the two of you are really good friends but to get back on the subject. I see that a training trip wouldn't quite work with him. He could just go on one on his own to explore the world and gain experience to see new styles, to learn new techniques and to meet new people.”
“Hayato the boy has already done the trip that martial artist has to do once at least in his life when he was a little boy.”
“Well than I have to say that the boy is prime material to work with.”
“He is that's for sure. He does have a problem or two but who hasn't?”
“Exactly! Martial Arts are not only for those who are fit to be one both mentally and physically, if it would I wouldn't have had so much fun opponents.”
While the two elders were having a nice conversation Ranma was bored out of his mind. Listening to the two was keeping him from going insane but he came here to train! Not to have a pleasant conversation with the people who live here!
When Ranma was about to excuse himself and take a stroll around the building Happosai patted his leg.
“Hayato if you don't mind I think Ranma would like to look around your home. Not to mention I don't want to bore him. It wouldn't be fun if his brain suddenly turned into a vegetable from being fried out by our talk after all.” The perverted grandmaster tried to lure his heir into a trap to attack him but was surprised when Ranma just bowed when Hayato nodded and left the room quietly.
“(Well that sure wasn't expected... maybe taking him here wasn't such a bad idea.)”
“So jiji... tell me again, exactly WHY can't we just jump OVER the fence?”
“Well my boy that is a good question. I have got two answers. The first: that would be rude and while normally I would do that without a care in the world. This is an old friend of mine and I don't want to be rude with him.”

“(Well that sure wasn't expected... maybe taking him here wasn't such a bad idea.)”
Leaving the two to talk as much as they like Ranma walked around the house, inspecting it all the way.
Normally he would just wait till someone showed him around but as the owner was preoccupied maybe a tour on his own wasn't that bad.
He just passed the living room when he felt a delicious smell and the only place where such delicious aroma can come is from a kitchen. The Saotome boy followed the heavenly aroma that led him into a well kept kitchen.
“(Sugoi. Kasumi would love this place.)” As he looked around the interior design of the kitchen he felt a movement from behind him. As he quickly took two steppes foreword then turned around only to see the confused face of the blond girl.
“(What was her name again?) Gomennasai I just wanted to look around for a bit since the two elders were having too much fun talking.” The first thing that caught Ranma's attention was the girl's eyes. Beautiful blue like the ocean, showing how playful it can be but the Saotome boy also felt that he COULD get a pounding from the girl just how the ocean can be cruel sometimes.
“Wakatta want me to show you around?” The cursed aqua-transsexual nodded and the blond beauty lead Ranma around the house while trying to stay away from the rest of the inhabitant's rooms.
When the tour was over the girl lead Ranma back into the living room only to see the two elders laughing there asses off on a story one of them just told.
“(I have a bad feeling.)”
“Ranma the timing is perfect. Hayato and I agreed that if the rest of the masters agree then we can stay here to train you.” Hearing this Ranma's eyes started to twinkle, he wanted to stay here if that guy was a master here!
“Could you please call everyone here?” The Invincible Superman asked his heir and continued his story about how he fought two hundred martial artists at once.

After a few minutes everyone was in the living room waiting patiently for whatever the elder called them here.
“Elder why did you call us here? Haven't your guests arrived yet?” The philosopher martial artist Akisame was curious since it is not every day that Hayato called them together.
“Oh they did arrive don't worry Akisame. The thing I called you all here is because after a long debate a friend of mine and I agreed that we will train his heir IF everyone accepts of course.” Those words shocked the people at Ryouzanpaku.
“I don't train disciples!” Sakaki exclaimed and drank the rest of his beer, while his words weren't new the rest of the house seemed interested.
“Well, we can always use some fresh blood around here. Not to mention it might be fun.” The master of Chinese Kenpo spoke showing that he had little ulterior motives mostly for his own gain.
“Apapapa! New friend for Apachai! First disciple I have to train him well!” Before anyone could say anything the Shininkami of Muay Thai dashed from his place into his room and only the noise of packing and throwing could be heard before the giant tan man came back equipped with spare glows and a mats.
“So that means Apachai would like to train the boy.” The elder couldn't say anything else as Apachai started searching under the table and even flipped a few rocks before coming back seemingly disappointed when Hayato told him that the disciple isn't sure yet.
The mistress of all weapons Köusaka Shigure didn't say a word leaving the decision to the others.
“Well that means that the decider is Akisame since I can't vote.” Every eye stuck onto the Juijitsu master who first went through the options and the outcomes.
“Elder my decision will count on the disciple. I want to see what kind of person we will teach.” Sakaki was about to bang his head on the table, he didn't want to train a kid that probably could barely hold out in a fight. Then again if it was that kid that he met then that might be a different story.
“As always you are right but first I would like to introduce an old friend of mine who finally accepted my invitation to the Ryouzanpaku dojo.” This news perked everyone's interest except Miu who already knew WHO that person was.
“Would you come in Happosai.” At Hayato's words a very short, old man entered the room wearing a ninja getup that resembled Shigure's fighting gear.
“(That is the old man with the kid. Then the kid IS here! This is getting interesting.)” Sakaki tried to hide his smirk since he knew that the upcoming days WILL be entertaining if not else then sparring with the kid.
“Everyone this is an old friend of mine who I met when I was still in my youth travelling around the world.” All eyes turned to Happosai who then straightened himself while Hayato continued.
“He is the master of multiple styles and the grand master of a style he created.”
“Which style exactly?” Sakaki was curious, if what is known about the old man is true then he might prove a useful training partner.
“The Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu, not many practice it because Happosai won't train just anybody. From what he told me only a handful of people use it. Amongst them is his heir and two of his disciples.” When the word Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu was spoken Shigure grabbed her sword and tried to move farther away without being seen. Ma Kensei was intrigued about the newcomer but felt some kind of a kinship.
“Where have I heard that name... AAAH! I can't remember!” The hundred dan karate master was furious at himself. He had heard that name somewhere but for the love of Kami he just couldn't remember!
“Apapapa! You look like Kensei but shorter!” Apachai started laughing followed up by Shigure's silent laughter from the far end of the room.
“Now that we have met out new team mate let's meet the soon to be disciple.” At those words a raven haired boy entered the room. From the way he moved each of the masters could tell that the young man was trained and skilled. Sakaki was showing a shark like smile, if that kid would become his disciple then he would put effort into it and make him the best karateka in the world!
“This is my heir...” Happosai started and signalled Ranma to sit next to him.
“Saotome Ranma, heir to the Musabetsu Kakuto Ryu and to the Musabetsu Kakuto Saotome Ryuu.” Hearing this earned a smile from Akisame who liked what he saw. The boy was rough on the edges but was skilled, from the way he moved he had experience in fighting most likely.
“Matta... you just mentioned two schools with almost the same name.”
“While Ranma is the heir to my school he is also the only heir to his families side of my school.”
“I don't understand fully.”
“Well where to start from... ah well it all began when...” The long story about Ranma's adventure began, he didn't spoke about the people who lived around Jusenkyo neither about those who had contact with the cursed pools still the story was entertaining for the people in the room for five and a half hours before it ended.
When it did end the reactions varied by person. The owner of the land looked amused and a smile adorned his features while Apachai looked sad for the bad things that happened with Ranma. The all time tough guy karate master didn't know what to believe but he knew that even if a morsel of the story is true then he will have to meet that Saotome Genma. Kouetsuji wasn't sure how to react while he saw that what Ranma's father had done seemed the good choice he also felt that going overboard like this isn't a good method... then again some of his inventions are crude AND dangerous but he would NEVER use it one on a child! The Chinese martial arts master seemed intrigued from what the boy said, if he is that good what he claimed in the story then he would have a LOT of fun training him in Chinese Kenpo not to mention if the part about not touching any of his fiancées then he might swindle him out of a little cash with a specific type of pictures!
The only one who didn't show any reaction was Shigure but while her face was stoic as ever her eyes had a glint of anger and the look she gave Ranma seemed a little softer then she usually gives to anybody, the only two who ever brought this out of her was Miu and Apachai.
“Well while I can see that you are trained well and the part about you training since you can walk is something I praise you for such devotion is rare today.” The elder voiced out his thought, even if his life was harsh the boy turned out pretty good.
Just as he was about to thank Hayato for his praises Shio opened another can of beer and since the chaos factor was doing overtime, the beer burst out from the can and before Ranma could even say something he was drenched.
“Kuso!” Except for Happosai everyone has frozen, not a moment ago next to the elder sat a raven haired boy who got splashed by cold beer and suddenly there was a buxom redhead instead of Ranma! Sakaki looked at the can before putting it down and pledged an oath to NEVER drink before, under and after having pork buns for lunch!
“Apaaaa where Ranma go?” The tall Muay Thai master stood up and looked around before looking at the girl.
“You look like Ranma a lot.” At hearing this Miu took a closer look as well. The girl COULDBE Ranma's twin! Except for the red hair and the light blue eyes... and that she is a girl and not a boy. But there was something not right here...
“Sweetto!”
“AAAH! GET OFF THEMAE JIJII!” The buxom redhead grabbed the old man by his bald head, ripped him off her chest and smashed him into the floor once before punting him out the door.
After getting rid of the grand master of her school Ranma was suddenly surrounded.
“Who are you and where is the boy?” Shio wasn't sure what to say so he gave voice to his first thoughts with as much violence in it as he can. Before the redhead could say a word master Ma was already taking pictures of her which the mysterious girl didn't appreciate too much from the looks she gave.
“You... intruded... our home.” Shigure was holding her blade ready to strike at the first funny move the girl did.
“There must be a logical explanation. Now tell us how did you get in here?” Akisame violated the girls private space and used some of his ki to enhance his presence to intimidate the intruding redhead.
“I AM Ranma!” The girl said every syllable as loud and clear as she could but the result was a curious look from the masters.
“Ranma is a young man not a young woman.” The philosopher martial arts master felt a headache coming in any second but he still couldn't tell WHAT will cause it.
“Jusenkyo.” Happosai's voice came from behind them and when they turned to the shrivelled up old man neither knew what he was speaking of.
“What is that?”
“It was something neither I nor Ranma wished to tell you, it's not an easy thing to talk about.” The grand master of the Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu then went next to the redhead and lead her out of the circle and pulled out a thermos out of nothing.
“Don't blink.” With that Happosai let the content of the thermos drench the redhead and before them the redhead turned into a raven haired boy!
Sakaki fell unconscious followed by Miu who couldn't handle the information. Shigure just blinked and tried to find a logical answer. While she might not be the most educated person she knew that people don't change gender when splashed by water!
Akisame found out the source of the headache he felt coming in the form of the new inhabitants. The three who weren't shocked by this little `show' was the Furinji elder, the Chinese martial arts master Ma Kensei and Apachai who didn't understood what was going on.
“Could you tell us about this `Pools of Sorrow'?” Hayato had heard of a place called Jusenkyo when he was in China with Miu a long time ago but he dismissed the place since they were in a hurry.
“It is a cursed training ground in a valley somewhere in China. The pools that can be found there curses who ever falls into one to shift form to whatever drowned in the pool first.” The answer came surprisingly from Ma Kensei and not from Happosai or Ranma who looked at the bald Chinamen with interest.
“You have been there?”
“No. It was just a rumour between martial artist, they also spoke of three nations that lived in the valley and who ever encounters them never returns.”
“Those would the Joketsuzoku, the Musk and the Phoenix people.” Ranma added this information and Ma Kensei was shocked that the boy knew them.
“You met with them?”
“I didn't only meet with them but I also fought the leaders and came out as the victor.” Hearing this from the mouth of the young man Ma Kensei saw him in a completely new light.
A few hours passed and Miu and Shio were laying on the ground both tucked in so they wouldn't catch a cold. The Saotome boy agreed that he will tell his ENTIRE story but they will wait for everyone to wake up.
“I shouldn't have drunk that last beer. I dreamed that a boy turned into a girl with a splash of water and...” The karateka woke up first rubbing his head but when he saw Ranma he started rubbing his eyes to make sure he saw correctly.
“So it WASN'T a dream...”
“Nope.”
“I think I DO need that beer.” Before Shio could stand up he already found a can presented to him by said pigtailed boy.
“Can someone explain what is going on?” After finishing his sentence Sakaki pooped the can open and in a few moments later it was empty.
“Once blonde is up.” The blonde remark was caught by Hayato who usually would just laugh it off or wouldn't even care but it was the way the boy said it that made him a little edgy.
“While we wait for Miu-chan to wake up you might as well show us what you are capable of.” Hayato knew what the boy can do from what he heard from Happosai but the rest of the masters could only speculate.
“Sounds good, I might as well test the kid!” Shio was up to the task, his body COULD use the strain that a friendly fight can do.
“Fine.” Ranma had his trademark smirk but he knew that in this fight he NEEDS to be careful, these people were master fighters and most likely knew a few tricks that he might not be able to counter.
“Well then let's go to the dojo.” Akisame spoke quickly before the two fighters could jumped at each other not that he would mind but that would disturb the unconscious blond girl.
“Elder why did you call us here? Haven't your guests arrived yet?” The philosopher martial artist Akisame was curious since it is not every day that Hayato called them together.
“Oh they did arrive don't worry Akisame. The thing I called you all here is because after a long debate a friend of mine and I agreed that we will train his heir IF everyone accepts of course.” Those words shocked the people at Ryouzanpaku.
“I don't train disciples!” Sakaki exclaimed and drank the rest of his beer, while his words weren't new the rest of the house seemed interested.
“Well, we can always use some fresh blood around here. Not to mention it might be fun.” The master of Chinese Kenpo spoke showing that he had little ulterior motives mostly for his own gain.
“Apapapa! New friend for Apachai! First disciple I have to train him well!” Before anyone could say anything the Shininkami of Muay Thai dashed from his place into his room and only the noise of packing and throwing could be heard before the giant tan man came back equipped with spare glows and a mats.
“So that means Apachai would like to train the boy.” The elder couldn't say anything else as Apachai started searching under the table and even flipped a few rocks before coming back seemingly disappointed when Hayato told him that the disciple isn't sure yet.

“Fine.” Ranma had his trademark smirk but he knew that in this fight he NEEDS to be careful, these people were master fighters and most likely knew a few tricks that he might not be able to counter.
“Well then let's go to the dojo.” Akisame spoke quickly before the two fighters could jumped at each other not that he would mind but that would disturb the unconscious blond girl.
When Ranma entered the dojo he thought it would be the usual like everywhere else. The usual trainee signs on the wall, some ornaments mostly about victories in tournaments or such. What he saw was a pleasant disappointment. There was only one sign that had the name of the dojo on it, instead of ornaments the room was full of weapons that from the looks of it were real and looked after from how the edge of the blade shined.
“(Note to self, don't piss off who ever OWN these weapons!)” Ranma's steps slowed down for a moment and his hand went to his throat to make sure it was still intact.
“I hope you are not having second thoughts!” Shio was already set and go to a friendly fight, even if has to hold back against the kid since killing him wouldn't look good now would it?
“Me? Never, let's get a countdown then let's rock!” Ranma's choice of words appealed to the masters and all of them had to hide a smile that crept onto there faces.
The two fighters waited for minutes staring at each other speculating the first attack until both realised that there was NO countdown yet!
“What's taking so long?!” The karateka was getting angry at the rest of the house inhabitants who were huddled together whispering something. Before long Hayato looked at the two with a neutral expression.
“We can't choose which game we should use to determine who will do the counting...” Hearing this Sakaki and Ranma both face faulted while the Furinji elder started his trademark laugh.
After a five minute delay the five masters started there duel of Jan-Ken-Pon.
“Jan-Ken-Pon!”
Akisame fell out first leaving Shigure, Hayato, Apachai and Ma in the running.
”Jan-Ken-Pon!”
Another round went down this time it was the Chinese master who fell out. The three left had a serious expression while the two combatants went to grab a drink.
In round four, the winner was the Furinji elder beating both Apachai and the Kousaka heir!
“I won! Let's start the countdown!” Hayato was ready to see the match between the two fighters who seemed to have a very nice conversation while they were doing a very important task!
“... and then I had to face of the kendo fool of the school, the soon to be dinner cursed china boy and if memory serves the FATHER of the kendo fool!” Ranma was quite cheerful as he retold an event from his past.
“Cheer up kid, I remember when I was in a bar having a date and suddenly some of my rivals chose the moment to challenge me. That girl hasn't spoken to me since then!” Shio was drinking his beer and burst into a laugh remembering the expressions of his rivals when they saw he was with a women.
“Tell me about it! Heck I can't get close to ANY girl thanks to my fiancée brigade!” Ranma only shook his head at the memories of EVERY date he had and how it ALL ended. Shio was about to say something when he felt like they forgotten something.
“Oh, you finished already?”
“(Note to self, don't piss off who ever OWN these weapons!)” Ranma's steps slowed down for a moment and his hand went to his throat to make sure it was still intact.
“I hope you are not having second thoughts!” Shio was already set and go to a friendly fight, even if has to hold back against the kid since killing him wouldn't look good now would it?

“Oh, you finished already?”
After the two fighters stood in front of each other eager to start the match, Hayato started the countdown loudly.
“Ikusa!” At hearing that word the two fighters dashed towards each other, Sakaki started with his favourite move, a right straight punch to the chest area. Thanks to the training in the past Ranma easily slid out of the way and had the chance to attack. Since his school specializes in aerial attacks the pigtailed martial artist started with an aerial spin kick that Sakaki easily evaded.
“(Flashy movement but I can see that it works for him.)” The tall fighter analyzed his young opponent's movement and if possible find a way to counter the upcoming attacks.
Sakaki readied himself for a sweep kick but instead of the sweep kick his opponent went low only to stand up and strike with an upwards split kick. Ranma's heel met air as his tall opponent chose to move back and start an attack.
“(I don't understand... the sweep kick was the most logical movement from the stance and the scenario...)” Stepping forward Sakaki made a fake kick high kick and instead did a kick to the side. While it did connect the damage wasn't too noticeable, since Ranma moved with the hit at only the impact damaged him.
“(He is strong, stronger than Ryoga and Herb together! His speed is isn't bad as well but his skill is still a mystery from what he had shown.)” Ranma was excited about his opponent's abilities were far higher from his usual daily fights in Nerima.
When both struck with a straight left there knuckles met and the two started exchanging blows at an increasing speed.
“It's been a long time since I had seen Sakaki so cheerful. I think the last time was when we went to that festival and the drinks were free.” Akisame seemed happy that his friend and co trainer is in such high spirit let's hope that this high spirit won't cause any problems.
“Quite so, maybe this little trainee is what we needed around here.” Kensei was preparing his camera for the end of the fight. Who knows if this kid still has some tricks up his sleeve then he just might give Shio a beating before he loses.
The two fighters were still duking it out trying to find an opening they can exploit. The problem was that both made openings to lure the opponent into a trap. The fights, was a fight of countering rather than fighting.
“(Come on... when will this guy break!? I'm getting bored!)” Both fighters were having the same thought as Sakaki guarded his side while attacked with his leg and Ranma parried the older man's leg while trying to make his fist connect with Shio. While the two were still fighting the door to the dojo opened and revealed the buxom blond Furinji heir.
“Ah Miu. You woke up I see. Good. Why don't you sit down and enjoy the show.” The bold Chinese master patted the ground next to him and Miu sat down all the while watching where the man hands were.
A few minutes of probing Sakaki lost his patience and attacked with a forward step full body punch. Believing that this too was a fake Ranma didn't dodge instead he concentrated to unleash his kick that he aimed at karateka's abdomen. The pigtailed fighter was quite surprised when the punch sent him stumbling backwards and only in the last moment did he roll backwards to evade a roundhouse kick. Miu was fascinated by the show of skill and ability, the masters too were interested more and more in the boy by every passing moment.
“Seeing this show of art is spectacular... even if both are holding back.” The silence was broken by Happosai who felt proud at his heir and this Sakaki fellow. Not many could hold back such strength he had while without stopping fight an opponent of high calibre. While the old panty thief smiled at the two young fighters the rest of the masters and even Shio who caught a little of what Happosai said became curious.
“What do you mean by both holding back?” Even the elder of Ryouzanpaku was intrigued by his old friend's words. He knew that Sakaki held back but that even the boy held back was new.
“When you look closely the battle was between two karateka while Ranma knows a lot more styles and he barely used any other movements.” Happosai sneered at his heir who barely dodged a kick before landing behind his opponent.
“Bakayaro JIJII!” With yelling out loud like that Ranma lost his chance to surprise his opponent not that he really could but he still felt like he had a slight chance.
When Ranma's arm was caught and yanked into a throw the young fighter tried to coordinate his body so he will land on his feet and to retaliate that moment.
When his other hand was caught as well by Shio, each struggling to get free but the vice like grip didn't weakened even for a moment!
“Oy, kid, you stop holding back and in return I won't either.” The words shocked the audience and Ranma as well. While Ranma wasn't so sure that he could survive a full power hit from this guy... not that he wouldn't try.
Seeing that he can't get anywhere with his current power he had to accept Shio's idea. They separated and jumped to the two sides of the room.
Sakaki let some of his power free and already it gave him a killing aura that made Ranma fight down a tremble.
“(Okay, you already faced an aura like this... not to this proportion but I CAN deal with this.)” When Ranma calmed down a moment later from the looks of it Sakaki was waiting for something similar.
What he got was something even HE didn't expected, around Ranma a blue aura appeared that engulfed his whole body. Even the audience except Happosai couldn't hold back the surprise or shock they had.
“Since when did Ranma learn how to use a full battle aura?!” Hayato was curious about this, while he himself can erect one he never really did because his body's limits were just about enough for anything.
“Nearly two years, if I don't count the previous time when he couldn't do it on whim.” Happosai's answer shocked everyone but this information made Shio smirk.
“(I wonder if he can teach me how to do that?)” Miu who was an accomplished martial artist knew that if she enhanced her body with ki then the limits would grow but she never actually learned how to use it on one part of her body instead of her whole body.
The battle aura was FAR out of her league until she couldn't learn HOW to use it like this boy.
“Surprised? I haven't even started yet!” Ranma announced an shrank his ki onto his body to act like a second skin, barely visible to the naked eye but someone who learned how to sense ki can easily see it.
With his body `armour' in place Ranma pushed the rest of his ki into his body, his speed increasing to an inhuman level.
Sakaki had barely had enough time to block the barrage of attacks that came towards his upper body before he realised that those were just to distract him of the REAL target!
His back was full open because he had to guard his front from the powerful assault. As he was about to turn around Ranma let go of another assault this time his opponent didn't had time to move away. Hundred of hits landed on the muscle mountain karateka's back and side as he turned around to strike back. Ranma was too deep into attacking while ignoring the pain that built up in his knuckles to catch the kick that found his chin and from the hit he flew to the other side of the room and rolled on the ground before he was stopped by the wall.
Sakaki was pulled back into reality when he saw his opponent wasn't standing up. To ease his guilt Akisame and Ma ran over there and after a moment they both agreed that the boy is only unconscious.
“Don't worry yourself Shio, that boy is strong.” Hayato wasn't so sure of what he just said but to ease his friend's guilt he listened to Happosai who wasn't even surprised.
“Ikusa!” At hearing that word the two fighters dashed towards each other, Sakaki started with his favourite move, a right straight punch to the chest area. Thanks to the training in the past Ranma easily slid out of the way and had the chance to attack. Since his school specializes in aerial attacks the pigtailed martial artist started with an aerial spin kick that Sakaki easily evaded.
“(Flashy movement but I can see that it works for him.)” The tall fighter analyzed his young opponent's movement and if possible find a way to counter the upcoming attacks.
Sakaki readied himself for a sweep kick but instead of the sweep kick his opponent went low only to stand up and strike with an upwards split kick. Ranma's heel met air as his tall opponent chose to move back and start an attack.
“(I don't understand... the sweep kick was the most logical movement from the stance and the scenario...)” Stepping forward Sakaki made a fake kick high kick and instead did a kick to the side. While it did connect the damage wasn't too noticeable, since Ranma moved with the hit at only the impact damaged him.
“(He is strong, stronger than Ryoga and Herb together! His speed is isn't bad as well but his skill is still a mystery from what he had shown.)” Ranma was excited about his opponent's abilities were far higher from his usual daily fights in Nerima.
When both struck with a straight left there knuckles met and the two started exchanging blows at an increasing speed.
“It's been a long time since I had seen Sakaki so cheerful. I think the last time was when we went to that festival and the drinks were free.” Akisame seemed happy that his friend and co trainer is in such high spirit let's hope that this high spirit won't cause any problems.
“Quite so, maybe this little trainee is what we needed around here.” Kensei was preparing his camera for the end of the fight. Who knows if this kid still has some tricks up his sleeve then he just might give Shio a beating before he loses.
The two fighters were still duking it out trying to find an opening they can exploit. The problem was that both made openings to lure the opponent into a trap. The fights, was a fight of countering rather than fighting.
“(Come on... when will this guy break!? I'm getting bored!)” Both fighters were having the same thought as Sakaki guarded his side while attacked with his leg and Ranma parried the older man's leg while trying to make his fist connect with Shio. While the two were still fighting the door to the dojo opened and revealed the buxom blond Furinji heir.
“Ah Miu. You woke up I see. Good. Why don't you sit down and enjoy the show.” The bold Chinese master patted the ground next to him and Miu sat down all the while watching where the man hands were.
A few minutes of probing Sakaki lost his patience and attacked with a forward step full body punch. Believing that this too was a fake Ranma didn't dodge instead he concentrated to unleash his kick that he aimed at karateka's abdomen. The pigtailed fighter was quite surprised when the punch sent him stumbling backwards and only in the last moment did he roll backwards to evade a roundhouse kick. Miu was fascinated by the show of skill and ability, the masters too were interested more and more in the boy by every passing moment.
“Seeing this show of art is spectacular... even if both are holding back.” The silence was broken by Happosai who felt proud at his heir and this Sakaki fellow. Not many could hold back such strength he had while without stopping fight an opponent of high calibre. While the old panty thief smiled at the two young fighters the rest of the masters and even Shio who caught a little of what Happosai said became curious.
“What do you mean by both holding back?” Even the elder of Ryouzanpaku was intrigued by his old friend's words. He knew that Sakaki held back but that even the boy held back was new.
“When you look closely the battle was between two karateka while Ranma knows a lot more styles and he barely used any other movements.” Happosai sneered at his heir who barely dodged a kick before landing behind his opponent.
“Bakayaro JIJII!” With yelling out loud like that Ranma lost his chance to surprise his opponent not that he really could but he still felt like he had a slight chance.
When Ranma's arm was caught and yanked into a throw the young fighter tried to coordinate his body so he will land on his feet and to retaliate that moment.
When his other hand was caught as well by Shio, each struggling to get free but the vice like grip didn't weakened even for a moment!
“Oy, kid, you stop holding back and in return I won't either.” The words shocked the audience and Ranma as well. While Ranma wasn't so sure that he could survive a full power hit from this guy... not that he wouldn't try.
Seeing that he can't get anywhere with his current power he had to accept Shio's idea. They separated and jumped to the two sides of the room.

When Ranma woke up he found himself in a familiar room but he wasn't sure until he remembered that he wasn't at the Tendo house anymore. Where ever he was the pillow under his head was comfortable and warm...
“I see you have woken up.” A beautiful voice spoke to Ranma who then saw that what his head was on wasn't a pillow but the blond girl's lap!
The pigtailed boy almost instantly tried to sit up but he was pulled back.
“Matta, if you move so fast after becoming unconscious you might harm yourself!” While the blond girl spoke Ranma's instincts that have developed at the Tendo home activated. He quickly moved away and was on the lookout for a mallet or a punch that was aimed at him!
Miu seeing that the boy was confused at something smiled when he looked and blushed!
“I see you are well now.”Ranma felt embarrassed that he didn't know how to explain his reaction. When he saw the blond girl smile and laugh a little he felt something similar to what he felt when he met Akane for the first time. The pigtailed boy wanted to thank her kindness but then realised that he was missing something important.
“Now that I think about it I don't even know your name.”
“Miu, Furinji Miu.” The blond girl introduced herself and seemed shy about telling her name, seeing this Ranma felt encouraged about starting a friendship with Miu.
“Ranma, Saotome Ranma. Want to be friends?” Those last four words opened a new world before Miu who smiled like she never did before.
“Yes. I'd love to!” The blond girl's spirit sky rocketed from those words, it might not mean so much to a normal girl but to her it was one of the few cherished words she cared about. Like her the pigtailed boy was also smiling believing that this might be the start of something good.
The two young martial artists weren't aware of the watchful eyes of the elders who were pleased by this turn of event.
Author's notes:
Well the new chapter is up and I'm quite pleased with this one... even if I felt like I should write something more to it. No matter, I'm still writing the new chapter to The Invader and the emperor which by how it seems isn't a good fic, since not many read it but to those who still wait for the next chapter I promise that I'll start moving the plot further now that I had a firm background story and character development in the last chapters.
About this fiction I don't know when I will update next time, most likely around when the next chapter is done with the other fic. Let's end this here before I write a miniature episode.
Before I forget thank you for the reviews I'm very grateful for them.
