One dark evening in japan, Mr Saotome was walking back from the grocery store to the Tendo dojo as he does not far from him some one is watching and following him. The person following doesn't make any sound at all, as soon as Mr Saotome is alone the person strikes, first going for the kneecaps with a kick and then punches his back once, the person is dressed in a black ninja uniform apart from the top half of their head. Underneath the half mask covering their mouth in a feminine voice they say "hello old man nice too finally meet you, don't worry you can still walk its just the fear keeping you paralyzed now I suggest you run along panda man."

Mr Saotome is in shock for the stranger knows who he is, the ninja clad female disappears for when he turns around and he hightails it back to the dojo slamming the doors shut. Everyone is confused by his behaviour.

Akane worried about him asks "what's wrong Mr Saotome?"

With his pride bruised Mr saotome doesn't say anything

Then comes a ring on the door bell from the front gate, Mr Saotome hides behind Ranma and Kasumi goes too answer the gate.

Ranma rather annoyed at his father hits his head and asks "what's wrong with you pop, get your act together will ya?"

"RANMA!" yells Akane.

"WHAT DID I DO NOW?" answers Ranma.

The two start too argue as Kasumi enters the room with a guest, then silence falls in the room as a ninja clad male enters with her, he bows and politely asks "sorry too bother your evening everyone but has anyone seen a friend of mine? She may have wandered off."

Mr Tendo then asks the man "what does she look like son?"

The man the replies "well she wears this uniform like me but she has red hair in a pigtail."

"I see." Ponders Mr Tendo as he turns too his friend "Saotome, have you seen anyone like?"

As he asks Mr Saotome has turned himself into his panda form and holds up a sign saying "nope didn't see anything."

The man then says too the group "I see, thank you so much and sorry for the inconvenience."

The man then walks out and thinks too himself "Too afraid too talk huh oldman."

The man then disappears then out of sight he pours hot water over him and emerges female and thinks out loud "perhaps i should spy on them for awhile see where that goes, but i sense the boy is strong definitely my father's ugh, I can't say it, i guess he is genmas son after all, as for the girl he was arguing with she's strong too in strength and stubbornness, the girl who answered id say shes more feminine not a threat at all, the other girl i'd say a mixture of the other two and not a bad looker either, the dojo master he could be a challenge if i went for a frontal attack, the old freak is most likely the strongest of them all best avoid him at all costs."

She then disappears into the night.

The following day both ranma and akane are walking too school and behind them is the female ninja stalking them, ranma then stops and yells "WHOS THERE?"

The female walks out of the shadows and confidently says "took you long enough i been following since you started."

Ranma inquisitively asks "who the hell are you anways?"

She politely replies "all will be revealed soon enough."
