"Come on boy have learned it yet!" A thoroughly inebriated man yelled over the wooden panel which muffled the screams of someone in agony.
There he laid on the floor beside a large pack. This also wore a marital art gi which was tattered and torn. meanwhile on the opposite side of the man was empty bottles. One would amuse that they were sake. And if you did you would be wrong. Granted this man did enjoy that taste of sake but you see where the man was it was hard to find sake. To better understand you must see what lead to the man present predicament.
*** flashback ***
"My god look at this." The said as he bent down with a flashlight pointed the beam inside the hole in the wooden floor.
"Yeah the whole thing is cover with blood. You think it came from the kid?" the other man said with a hand over his face as the smell of blood and flesh lingered.
"I say that is a good bet that some of it is. the rest is probably from the cats as the started to feed on each other." The man said as he closed the panel.
"Who would do such a thing to a child no less?" the other man said as they both walked outside the shack.
"Who know hopefully if the kid survives the we might get some answers." The man said as he lit up a cigarette. "Lets get the hell out of hear. You drive." he said as he tossed the key the other man.
"OK but where to?" the man said after catching the keys.
"To Juuban General that is where they took the kid." with that they drove off to Juuban. Had they looked around they would have seen a fat man in a gi was hiding not to far away.

"Stupid boy 'hic' If he wasn't so weak 'hic' we still be in Japan right now 'hic' not here in England." The man said before the bottle feel from his hand. With tired eyes the man known as Genma stared at the candle in the middle of the room . Slowly his eyes stared at the wall as his eyes started to get heavy. Slowly he fell asleep. Had he stayed awake a little longer he would have seen a shadow appeared.
Slowly the owner of the shadow moved. The figure looked at the sleeping form of the drunken man with disgust. The moved closer to the panel on the floor. The screams of a boy was still there. The figure stared at the lock that secured the panel from opening. With a simple flick of the wrist the lock was gone. The figure opened the panel.
One was guess that the figure was shocked at what was found underneath the panel. No the figure was not shocked, the figure looked more disgusted then anything else. There inside of the hole was cats, starved cats to be exact, and they were feasting on a little boy that was tied up. Once the panel was fully removed the figure stepped into the hole. The cats then scatted away from the boy at the entrance of the figure.
The cats were scared of the figure. They were so scared that it overwhelmed the desire for them to eat. The figure then looked down at the bloody body. The body was a boy and though it was bloody the scares were not deep at all. This cause the figure to look around the hole, and there it was what she had expected several bloody remains of cats. The figure gaze was drown back to the body in front of her.
"Uhh" The voice of the bloodied boy echoed as he started to stir.
With that the figure lifted the bloody boy into its arms and carried the boy out. What made it strange though was the fact that the figure was no taller then boy was. Another thing was that the figure jumped out of the hole effortlessly. It was as if the weight of both didn't affect it at all. once out the figure turned around and started its way out of the building.
"Who hell are you?! And how did you get in?!" yelled the man named Genma
With that the figure stopped and proceeded to turn around. There stood a small girl with light blue hair in a dress. She stood there staring at Genma with disgust. That was when Genma notice what was in her arms.
"How did the boy get out?" Genma thought to himself as he looked back at the girl. "Tell me little girl do you know how my boy got out of that hole. You see he is in training to learn a new martial art style." Genma said in a false sweet tone thinking that this was some ordinary little girl.
"I freed your son. You should be ashamed at what you have done human." The little girl spoke in a superior tone. "You should leave this island trash like you is not wanted, nor is it desired here." With that the girl stared to turn around.
"Where do you think you are taking my son?!" Genma yelled back at the girl's turning form.
"I see you will not be tacking my advice to leave Genma Saotome." The girl said as she placed the boy down on the floor.
"H how did you know my name?" Genma spoke as he started to get a bad feeling bout all this. Also starting to get that this was no ordinary girl.
"Don't worry Genma you will never know?" With that she raised her arm at Genma's form and he froze. And that was when Genma finally noticed the girls eye they were red, and they were glowing red at that and that was the last image Genma saw. Before a sharp pain hit him and it was coming from his neck. Slowly his vision began to fade into black. As he heard the voice of the little girl. "Don't worry Genma I did drink your revolting blood. You will how ever atone for your crimes against. your own flesh and blood with your blood." With those words Genma was no more.
*** ??? ***
"Ugh. Where am I?" The boy said as he rose from a soft comfortable bed. That was when he noticed that he was bandage up. His arms were wrapped as well as his stomach and one of his legs.
"I see you have fully awaken now." A voice called out from the shadows in his native language. The boy looked around to find where it was coming from. He soon found a candle's light coming closer to him as it made stops to light other candles. Soon the whole area was lighted by the light provide by the candles. It soon revealed the owner of the voice was a girl.
"I am glad to see you are doing well now." The girl said as she took a seat on the chair by the bed and placing the candle on a nearby table. "You had been going in and out of consciousness for a period of three days."
"Umm thank you I am sorry for troubling you." The boy said in embarrassment as he looked at the girl.
"It has been no trouble at all. It has been rather boring as of late. So your coming has been a rather pleasant one at that." She said in a pleasant tone.
"How did I get here?" The boy asked the girl in fort of him
" You see as was heading out to get some more candles I heard your screams. So I took you out off that hole and I brought you here to my domicile and treated your wounds while you slept." The girl said as she leaned back into the chair for comfort.
"Where is my pop?"
"You Father has passed away several days ago." The girl informed the boy in front of her.
"Wh what he's dead?" As tears stared to form in his eyes as he curled up into ball on the bed. As images of what had happen night ago came to him. He soon started to laugh slowly as they came to him. As looked at the girl across from him he spoke "I am sorry I just don't know weather to be sad or thrilled about what you just said. Funny huh? He was my father, but I hated him for what he did to me, you would never believe what he put me through." With that he started to cry.
"You should get some more rest this is a lot for someone to take." The girl said as she pulled the sheet and covered the boy with it. "There you get some rest now OK?"
"Thank you. You know something I hope you don't take thing wrong but you seem old for some reason." The boy said as he looked into her red eyes.
"Don't worry I understand what you mean." She for the first time in along time smiled at the boy in front of her.
"Um I know it's kind of late for this, but my name is Ranma what's yours?" the boy said as he looked at the girl.
With a small smirk. "My name young Ranma is Helena. Sleep well now." She said as she left and proceeded to blow out some of the candle to help Ranma sleep. Once done she moved to her chair where the candles where still light and contemplated on her conversion with Ranma. "I have felt like this in ages, nor have I truly smile like that. You are an interesting human indeed Ranma. And you really are a welcomed presence. For how ever long you wish to stay." She thought before she light up another book and continued reading.
