I don't own Ranma ½ or any of the characters. They belong to rumiko takahashi. I don't own the Nerimina underwear Factory either, even though I made it up. Happosai bought it (:

Inferno: Prologue

"Come back here you old freak," yelled Ranma, as he chased Happosai. Their legs thunked on the heavy wooden planks above the Nerimina Underwear Factory.

"What a haul! Whoohoo" replied Happosai as usual and he threw a firebomb over his shoulder. Normal Happosai behavior. Not a good idea on top of a wooden building though.

Flames sprung up everywhere. The flames rushed across the ceiling, and down the walls. The walls were so dry, because it hadn't rained, and now the building was on fire. Ranma kept on chasing the old man; after all, what were a few flames to a great marshal artist like him? Then he heard the screams.

""Help, I can't get out"

"AHHHHhh…"

"The wall's on fire"

"Where's the door, I can't see"

"Someone let me out!"

Happosai looked over his shoulder and muttered, "Uh oh" as he leapt away, "maybe I should spend a little time back at that nice cave Genma and Soun made me." He veered off to the south, but did not notice Ranma was no longer chasing him. Read and Review please!
