Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma 1/2 or any thing else in here except the new character.

I did get the idea from another fanfic and started writing my own. I know my previous tries were dismal failures but this time I have a prereader. ^_^ He is really into ranma and likes the idea. He is going to help me write this fanfic.

The Tiger
Chapter one
A new Guest

It was late day when the man drove up to the gate of the Tendo dojo. "Well I guess this is it" he said as he got out of his hummer. The thing that made this man stand out was that he an American and wearing a camo jacket that said U.S. Marine Corps, and had sergeant stripes on the sleeve he was also wearing a pistol. His name tag said Brown.
He got out and was about to see if anybody was home when something came flying through the gate, and in an instant his training took over and he had his pistol out and was running toward the gate. He slowly crept up to the hole in the gate. Pistol ready he leaped through the hole ducked rolled and came up looking for anybody holding a weapon. He didn't see any.
What he did see shocked him. He saw a teenage girl not older then 16 holding a giant hammer. He heard a groan from behind him. He turned around to see a teenage boy not older then 16 buried upside down in the wall behind the gate. "What is going on here?" he demanded. That is when an older girl who looked to be in her early twenties showed up. "Akane and Ranma got into one of their fights and that is what happens all the time.". "Stupid tomboy, she didn't have to hit me that hard." it came from the 16 year old teen who had just got on his feet.
"Oh my, we don't get many visitors around here, but we never get ones with guns!" it was the older girl who had said it. "Oh, I'm sorry, I saw something fly through the gate and hit the wall over there and I guess my training took over. I didn't mean to scare anyone." he said putting the pistol away. "Oh that's ok, You're probably wonder who we are well my names Kasumi this is my sister Akane and that is Ranma over there, he's the one you saw fly through the gate." Kasumi explained. "Ok, well my names Matt, and I'm here to answer an ad in the paper about a room for rent." "Oh you mean the one that Nabiki put out?" Akane asked. "Yup that would be the one." "Did I hear some asking about the ad." A girl who was obviously Nabiki showed up she looked to be about 19 and had a look that she knew what she was talking about.
"Yeah that would be me. Didn't like the housing on base so I decided to look for some place else." "Well its going to cost about 800 of your dollars and that covers rent, food, water, gas, and repairs." "Ok, that's the best deal I've gotten all day." He said writing out the check. He handed it over to and was shown to his room, he then started to unload his things and pack them away. He then crawled under the sheets and promptly fell asleep.
