"Benimaru Nikaido?!" Ryoga gazed at the blond man known as Benimaru.

"Eh?" Benimaru looked up and saw a bandana-clad boy gazing at him with admiration. Benimaru sweatdropped. 'I know I'm such a stud but I'm attracting men now?' "Look man, don't get any ideas! I'm not gay you freak! And you, pig-tailed kid, watch where you're going man!"

Ryoga's eyebrow twitched. 'What an introduction....' With a louder voice he shouted back, "Who are you calling gay, you gigolo!" at the same time increasing his battle-aura.

"What?! Are you looking for a fight?! One last chance, take back what you said, and I'll take back what I said about you..." Benimaru's fist started to crackle with lightning, battle-aura also increasing. Ranma turned blue. "Now guys...there's no need ta-"

"BAKUSAI TENKETSU!" Ryoga pointed down at the ground, pulverizing a small area sending rocks flying dangerously up. Ranma dodged at the last minute and had no choice but to hop to a tree to witness the fight. Though he can stop Ryoga from fighting by distracting him, Benimaru was a different story. Benimaru meanwhile nimbly dodged away, slightly surprised and flustered at Ryoga's power. Sensing the opportunity, Ryoga dashed forward and met Benimaru with combinations of punches and kicks. The fury shocked Benimaru as he rubbed his stomach in pain.

"Heh...you've got spunk kid, but I gotta end this now. RAIJIN KEN!" Charged up electricity danced around his arms and with an insanely fast punch he struck Ryoga. The physical damage combined with the electric shock was enough to stun Ryoga momentarily. "Heh," Ryoga snorted (not intended ^_^), "the fight's just beginning." Benimaru's eyes widened. 'Most people are usually down by my electrical attack. But this kid is still standing, and with quite a bit of strength too. He must be pretty tough to be able to take my electric attack. I better not toy around so much.'

'Damn, Benimaru surely deserves his reputation, but that electric attack wasn't too bad. Heh, I'll end it now'. Ryoga jumped up, and built up his depression. The negative chi that emanated around his body started taking shape. "Hah! I'll show you who's gay. SHI SH-"

"FLYING DRILL!" Benimaru jumped up at slightly higher than Ryoga's level and before he could unleash his chi attack Benimaru started pounding him down with hundreds of kicks. Ranma gasped in surprise. 'Benimaru's falling, but he seems to defy gravity! Those kicks to Ryoga are like a drill! Wait, it's just like my Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken! Heh, Ryoga, give it up, you won't be able to beat him. Perhaps I should go try.' Ranma hopped off the tree and ran towards the battle scene. *Crash!* Ryoga landed on the ground, writhing in pain. Benimaru smirked. "So, give up now?"

"Damn..." Ryoga struggled to stand up. "NEVER!" He delievered a particularly strong punch to Benimaru's side. Benimaru winced in pain. "Damn you...you just don't give up huh? Witness my ultimate attack. RA-" Benimaru turned sharply to see who dared to interrupt his move.

"Stop! Both of you!" Both people looked at the intruder. Benimaru smiled. "Hello Kyo, what took you so long?"

"Kyo?! Kusanagi?!" Ranma and Ryoga blinked. "THE Kyo Kusanagi?!"

Kyo sweatdropped. "Yes, THE Kyo Kusanagi. Christ why do people think I'm some copycat or something." As if by rehearsal, he lifted his hands and set it on fire. But the fire didn't burn him. Ranma gasped. "Wow, what a fighter! I'm Ranma Saotome." Kyo looked at Ranma, smirked, and said, "How's that for proof, Ranma?" as he flicked his hand. The flames disappeared as mysteriously as it came. Ranma blinked again. 'Sugoi...' Suddenly, a loud rustling in the bush was heard.

"SAOTOME! Pusillanimous fiend! Prepare to face your peril! I will personally destroy your foul sorcery so the beauteous Tendo Akane and the dazzling pig-tailed girl are free to love me with passion you hide so dearly in their possessed souls! Strike! YATATATTATATAT!" Kuno in a frenzy swung his bokken, eventually making the bokken nothing more than a blur. Ranma, though, with sharply honed martial skills easily dodged his strikes. But before he was about to strike a rush of orange flame whizzed past his face and to the bokken. 'Nani?! What kind of move is Kuno doing?!'

Kuno, too was shocked, but being the dense one he was, he exclaimed, "The gods are shining upon me, for they see me as a holy paladin of justice ready to purge evil anytime, anywhere! Now, they imbue me with holy fire, so I may incinerate your already blackened soul to ashes!" Of course by the time his little bravado speech was finished he was left holding empty air.

'...'

"BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Everybody but Kuno laughed their butts off; especially Ranma who fell to the ground clutching his stomach, trying his best to contain his laughter, though in vain. Ryoga chimed in, "Holy fire indeed! Looks like it was to smite THEE!" Ryoga collapsed into insane laughter. Benimaru had something to add too. "You know, you're not gonna get any ladies like this." The three of them laughing was so insanely delirious that people within a 3-mile radius would stare at them, all thinking, 'Escapees from the insane asylum, I bet.' Heck, it was so bad, even Kodachi would freak out. "OHOHOOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOH! Where's my Ranma-sama?! I heard his graceful voice somewhere!?" The people who were staring at Benimaru, Ryoga, and Ranma now stared at Kodachi, and promptly ran their butts off in random directions.

I guess I'll take that back about Kodachi freaking out, ne? Anyway!

Benimaru was the first to recover from the laughter. "Kyo, Kyo, what a meanie."

One of the veins in Kyo's forehead popped. "That was real annoying..." he muttered, shaking his fists. "Come on Benimaru, let's go. Ranma! Bandana-kid! It was nice meeting you! I'll see you around!"

Benimaru, who was now rubbing his stomach from the pain he received from Ryoga during the fight and from the laughter, held out a hand to Ryoga. "That was a pretty good fight there. What's your name?" Ryoga took his hand, stood up, and answered, "Ryoga Hibiki. What a funny way to introduce ourselves huh?" Benimaru chuckled. "Well, I gotta go now. Bye!" He turned around and motioned for Kyo to go.

"Wait!" Ryoga shouted.

"What now?" Benimaru growled.

"I have one question. How do you keep your hair like that?!"

Benimaru smacked his head. Just like Kyo, he found it quite annoying when people keep asking him the same questions all the time. Breathing deeply, he replied, "Ha! Glad that you asked!" Whipping out a bottle from nowhere, he continued, "this is Steelhair, the best hair gel you can have! It's so strong, it feels like it's a bunch of steel rather than hair! Watch!" Benimaru cocked his head to the side, and like a bull, shattered a glass panel nearby by ramming into it. "This is proof for Steelhair's effectiveness. Now at a special price of $999.99! Say, I can add this move to my repetoire of moves..."

Mass facefault ensued.
