From then on every year on that day the humans would celebrate the 'End Of The War' and the extinction of all vampire kind, festivals would occur everywhere, no matter where Ranma went when that day came, a day he became the last of his kind and became truly alone a festival would erupt, over time Ranma learned the names of all those who were involved in the murder of his mother.
13 Years Later…
Ranma now twenty one years of age was heading towards the main building of a large complex that made up a university, he wore a red top, black leather jacket and dark blue jeans with a silk wrapped object on his back, the full moon shone down on him giving him strength, the festival wasn't far off and was once again just around the corner.
Ranma stopped at the entrance of the main building, it was large and old, Ranma normally wouldn't bother with school especially when his mother had given him every ounce of knowledge she had possessed but his reasons weren't intellectual, more personal, this was one of the schools his mother had gone to, long before war broke out.
He closed his eyes and felt the atmosphere of the school, a smile graced his lips, it may have faded overtime but it was still there, he could feel his mother like she was watching out for him, pulled open the door and entered the school, the inside may have looked fairly old but the inside was all modern.
After a couple minutes of wondering down corridors he found himself at the door of the headmaster's office, he lightly knocked on the door and heard a muffled 'enter' Ranma pushed open the door and slowly entered, his gaze landed on an aged woman with long black hair that hung freely, she wore a black suit.
"How may I help you?" she asked.
"I'm interested in studying here" Ranma answered.
"You do know where halfway through the year and you would have missed a lot of material Mr…" she replied.
"Ranma, just Ranma and trust me when I say I'll catch up rather quickly" Ranma replied.
"Well Ranma despite how confident you are at this stage it would be pointless entering the classes and expecting to pass the class, maybe you could try again next year" she proposed.
"No, this year I've been travelling for too long to be just turned away by a reason that I do not care for" Ranma replied, his tone cold and caused the headmistress to feel a shiver up her spine.
"Travelling? how long have you been 'travelling'?" she asked.
"Thirteen years, now I want a place at this school and I don't care what I have to do" Ranma replied.
"Well if you're certain you can catch up with everyone else, I may be able to get you a place in some classes" she replied, Ranma's gaze making her more than a little uneasy, she slid a piece of paper in his direction, Ranma took the seat opposite the headmistress "Just select a couple classes and I'll see what I can do" she added.
Ranma took a pencil from the a cup on the headmistress' desk and circled two subject 'Vampire History' and 'Physical Self-Defence' thinking the second one would come in handy in future, also he could expand on what he already knew and he wanted to know what humans were been taught when it came to his kind, he slid it back to the headmistress.
"Okay…well you're lucky that there are a couple of places available in these courses" she stated, she turned to the computer on her desk "Now I just need your full name to access your school records" she stated.
"I have no school records" Ranma replied, the headmistress raised an eyebrow.
"Are you telling me that you've never been to school?" she asked.
"Yes, I was orphaned at 8 and since then I travelled, no time for education if I wanted to survive and before then I was home schooled" Ranma replied.
"I…see…" she muttered, suddenly feeling a great deal of sympathy for the young man before her, completely unaware that it was her kind that orphaned him.
"Well it will make things more complicated, but I'm sure we can make it work, now do you want day time or night classes?" she asked.
"Night" Ranma replied without hesitation.
"Okay…done you've been assigned to those classes, I take it as you'll be living on the campus so you'll be staying in room 236, I hope you don't mind sharing as you'll have a roommate, who will be notified of your enrolment the minute I send this off" she explained.
"Okay" Ranma muttered, she then slid another piece of paper to him.
"This is a map of the basic layout of the campus so that you don't get lost" she briefly explained.
"Thanks" Ranma said as he accepted the map and placed it into his jacket pocket.
"No problem, now you'll be starting your classes tomorrow night so you better get ready" she stated.
"Ok, seeya" Ranma said, giving her a slight wave as he headed for the door.
Meanwhile…
A human of 21 years of age was sitting at the desk of his dorm room, trying to understand his textbook, hating himself for the fact he was stupid enough to choose to study 'Physics' at university, when the dorm room phone rang, he rose from the desk and headed to the phone on the wall and answered it.
"Hello" he muttered.
"Mr Hibiki?" asked the female voice of the woman at reception.
"Yes" he answered in droned tone.
"I am calling to inform you that you are getting a new roommate" she stated in cheery tone that made Ryoga feel sick to his stomach, he hated women who spoke like that, the same as those girls who give out free samples, so sickly sweet.
"A roommate?" Ryoga muttered, beginning to hope whoever it was that it was someone who could help him with his physics report.
"Yes, his name is Ranma and he will be joining you shortly, have a nice night Mr Hibiki" she replied before hanging up.
"Man I hate that voice…hmm Ranma, wild horse" Ryoga mused.
There was a knock at the door, Ryoga turned to face the door as it opened to reveal a boy of his age with more than an impressive muscular build, he was slightly taller than him and much to his dismay, didn't look like a physics nerd but he lived in hope.
"Yo, I'm Ranma" Ranma greeted.
"Ryoga Hibiki, so you got a family name?" Ryoga asked as he outstretched a hand to Ranma, he stared at the hand and refused to shake it, Ryoga retracted his hand slightly insulted by the fact Ranma refused his greeting.
"I'm Ronin" Ranma replied, knowing it was the best way to get people to stop asking about his family, not wanting to risk people working out that he was the son of Nodoka Saotome.
"Oh" Ryoga said, averting his gaze not knowing to be embarrassed or disgusted that he was rooming with a Ronin.
Ranma headed over to sit on the spare bed, removing the object from his back and placed it beside him, never moving his hand off of it, an awkward silence filled the air.
"So…Ranma…how good are you at physics?" Ryoga asked, hoping to get rid of the awkward silence.
"Why?" Ranma asked.
"Never mind" Ryoga sighed before heading back to his text book, Ranma altered his position so he was lying on his back, he placed the object beneath his bed and closed his eyes, he doubted he'd be able to sleep so he resorted to just embracing the atmosphere, enjoying the fact he could still feel his mother after so long.
