The Dragon's Eye- A Ranma ½ Fan Fiction
Prologue
Our story begins on a wet and rainy night in Nerima, as a dark and mysterious carriage makes its way onto the streets of the town centre.
Pulling in front of an empty store, the door opens to allow a figure, shrouded in a long black cloak with its hood drawn over his head and an umbrella in his black gloved hand. Walking up to the store window the unknown man looked at the "for sale" sign and smiled.
"Yes," he said as stroked the glass of the window panels and smiled optimistically, "This will do very nicely. Bosu, start unpacking, we have work to do."
With that said the carriage driver climbed down and fetched a small suitcase from the back. He was a small fat man with a small grey island of hair on his head and a long crooked nose, which looked as though it had been broken several times in his life. As Bosu walked to the shop door, the mysterious man snapped his fingers and the door proceeded to open and the words on the For Sale sign changed into the word Sold.
Watching Bosu walk into the store, the man turned around to face the surroundings of his new home. Looking at the two restaurants adjacent to his new shop, he read the names of both establishments with great interest.
"Ucchan's Okonomiyaki and the Nekohanten Chinese restaurant. I've heard that name before but I can't possibly fathom why." he said smiling, as he lit his pipe and took a long smoke "Well anyway, it seems we won't have far to go for a good meal. I think I'm going to like it here."
As he entered the store, a faint blue light emanated from the windows and shone across the darkened street.
