Yay! I love talking to all of you about my chapters, so...this is what happened to Ryoga during all this time, it prolly should have tooken place a chapter ago but hey *shrug*. Oh yeah, to all who read and don't review.... IF I DON'T GET AT LEAST 5 REVIEWS FOR THIS CHAPTER, I WILL NOT CONTINUE....I just don't see the point if nobody is reading it.... Also, if what I write doesn't fit perfectly with the facts about who met who and who knows what about who, forgive me, I haven't read all of the mangas. Hmm.... ,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,

It was hot...and stuffy, very stuffy. He found it hard to breath, the air was so thick. He was lying on his side, on what he didn't know, all he could distinguish was that it was hard. He couldn't see anything, his eyes were closed but he couldn't open them, the lids were too heavy. To his relief the air gradually got cooler. Eventually, he noticed that side of his body that was touching the ground felt damp. When Ryoga was finally able to open his eyes, number one he saw was a pile of his clothes lying a few meters away on the muddy ground, and two, he was a pig.

*How did I get here.....oh...no, no, no, no, no!*, Ryoga thought as the memories of the past few hours burst back into his mind. The lone pig stood up shakily and painstakingly slowly, he started walking toward his bag. P-chan placed his kettle onto the heating stand and lit a small fire underneath it.

As the water heated he thought about all of the things that had happened, *I always mess up like this....I should never have come back here, Akane probably hates my guts now....* he thought, then sighed dispairingly. Once the water was heated he placed himself in his discarded clothes and poured it over himself, miraculously, as he changed his clothes slipped onto him, and he just had to tug them a little to get them in place properly. As he stood up he looked himself over, he had cuts and bruises all over. He was pretty sure he didn't have any broken bones thanks to his training with cologne. He put on his pack and started heading towards the exit of the park.

Suddenly he head a female voice say, "Hey, dude, where are you going?", somewhere behind him. Ryoga spun around, he was now standing face- to-face with a girl about an inch shorter than him, who was around his age.

Her face was framed with straight, jet black hair that reached down to her waist, a large contrast with the girls pale face. Her eyes were deep purple, with splatters of dark red in them, they were the strangest eyes Ryoga had ever seen, but by far the most intriguing. Her nose was small, and her lips were painted a light pink color. The girl was wearing a dark blue denim jacket and a black slightly fitting shirt with some wierd white circle shaped sign on the front with a few lines going through it...it looked something like a grotesque spiderweb. She was wearing dark blue jeans which matched the jacket, and her belt was beige and at least 2 inches wide. She carried a duffle bag on her shoulder, it looked pretty worn.

From his constant journeying, he had witnessed some pretty strangely dressed people, but this girl had to be one of the strangest.

"What are you staring at?", the girl said, slightly disturbed by the fact that Ryoga had been staring at her for the past minute.

"Uhh, nothing.", Ryoga said, turning red.

"Eh, thats ok, I'm used to it, thats what you get for being original.", the girl said, sighing, then added, "So...I saw you before...you were like...a pig.....and now you're a guy....that was like....wierd...?"

"Well, its a long story...." Ryoga said, a little embarassed.

"Well, if you got the time to tell it, I got the time to hear it, 'snot like I got anything better to do" She said, heading over to a bench and sitting down.

"Well umm...theres this training camp in China called Jusenkyo, and its got a bunch of springs filled with cursed water. I sort of fell in one of them, the spring of drowned pig, while I was following that evil cur Ranma. I don't know how or why Akane puts up with him, he's always calling her names-" He said, happy to forget about his current troubles for a while.

"Whoa, Akane? Ranma? who are these people??" the girl interrupted.

"Oh, well, Ranma is my rival, we train so that we can be strong enough to beat each other."

"Haha, you mean like, fighting as in a video game right?"

"Er, no, fighting as in martial arts"

"Whoa, I didnt think anyone did that anymore. Hey thats pretty awesome! Who wins??"

"Uhh...didn't you want to know who Akane is?", the girl nodded, "well Akane is the fiancé of Ranma, she deserves so much better than that jerk! The only thing he deserves is-" Explained Ryoga, trying not to let this girl know that he loses most of the time.

"Ok, ok I get it, eh, thats pretty cool, so like, you can change into a pig? How does that work?", interrupted the girl once again.

"Cold water changes me into a pig and hot into me", he explained.

"Haha, that's a pretty awesome story, it must never get boring around here eh?....Name?", the girl asked, smiling, "mines Nuriko Shinjuko".

"Ryoga Hibiki, nice to meet you", Ryoga told her, smiling as well, showing off that cute little fang of his (A/N: Weeeeeee! I love that lil fang!! Heehee...ok time for the shutting up of me).

"Hey, um, where were you planning on going? I mean, I saw you about to leave and was just you know, wondering..." Nuriko asked.

"Well, I was just going to find a place to sleep since I don't really have anywhere." Ryoga explained.

"Oh. Well, do you mind if I come with? I'm sort of on the move..."

"Uh, ok. I guess it would be nice to have some company for once, let's get going then. If you don't mind me asking, I mean.do you live around here?"

"Naw, I live somewhere like.not here, I sort of ran away.two weeks ago.I've just been, you know, walking." She said indifferently. "I sound really stupid don't I?" *smiles*

"Uh, no not really. So, you don't mind sleeping in a tent I don't mind the company, really."

"Tent.tent! You have a tent?! That's awesome!*sparkle sparkle*"

"Er, well yeah, you sort of need one, anyway, we better get it set up."

"What are you talking about? You don't NEED one, I mean, I've been sleeping on floors and trees and roofs and.umm yeah lets just get it set up."
