China Flashback:
Ranyu Yusaek stared down the path. He walked down as his senses focused on the shadows and its secrets. His eye's made red outlines of objects as he strode down the path. He saw several figures amongst him.
He jumped and rolled forward as several shurikens flew into the air. He dodged the incoming shurikens. He rolled to his feet and turned to his first opponent. He grasped the hilt of his blade. Three figures jumped through the dawn and toward him. He sidestepped left and grabbed the nearest ninja's arm and lifted him off the ground and slammed him face first into a rock. He struck his blade into his neck, blood spurted onto the ground and on to his blade. Ranyu jumped away dodging more shurikens.
He leaped for the next ninja. He jumped and hand-standed on his shoulders. He grasped his neck and spun. A thick snap sounded as he broke his opponent's neck. He jumped away and spun in the air spinning his blade vertically just missing the last ninja by a hair.
Ranyu thrusted his blade toward his target, unlike the others who were quick to die, this one was skilled. The enemy spun and kicked Ranyu between the third and fourth ribs. He tumbled back stomaching the pain and threw a shuriken into his opponent's leg. He rolled to his feet and lunged forward.
Ranyu kicked his opponent on the side of his head and he stumbled down and Ranyu stabbed him in the lungs through the back, more blood spurred out as a fountain of the cool red liquid. He pulled his blade out of the ninja's back and spun it to get the blood off it. He sheathed his sword upon its sheath off his right shoulder.
He walked upon the path through dense fog. He peered through the patches of white to see another figure approach. He stayed his course as he folded his arms. His slow nonchalant walk steadied to a halt as the figure approached closer.
The figure was a man in his twenty's maybe thirties. He was five feet from Ranyu when he stopped and bowed, *"Greetings sir. Welcome to magic training grounds called Jusenkyou, "* the guide half-smiled. The guide glanced a questioning look at Ranyu as he bowed. *"I come here to trai-"* Ranyu said as he was cut off by the guide's glance at Ranyu's blade.
Ranyu looked over his shoulder at his blade. The guide inched closer, *"Is that the Mursame? "* the guide gasped. Ranyu took the blade and unsheathed it. He flipped it to were the handle was up. He elongated his arm and presented the blade for show to the dumbfounded guide.
The guide grasped the Mursame. He examined it, and gave it back to Ranyu. Ranyu took his legendary blade back and placed it back in its sheathe. Ranyu continued his slow stride and the guide followed him and Ranyu listened intently to the guide's instructions and warnings. They stopped near the guide's hut.
Ranyu glanced past his shoulder to the guide, *"Thank you for your assistance, "* he turned his head and focused on the pools and poles, *"I'll be on my way, and if I happen to fall into anything...I'll be fine, "* he murmured to the guide.
The guide nodded and walked into his hut. Ranyu strode forward and stopped at the foot of the `first' of the pools of Jusenkyou. A cool breeze blew into his face. Jusenkyou consisted of many pools that have poles extending above them.
He sprang onto the nearest pole. He held his balance and his stance. He closed his eyes and fell into semi-consciousness.
*******************************************************
Two hours later...
Ranyu awakened and tipped his balance slightly. He heard people approaching. Several second's later the flustered guide was warning two people about Jusenkyou but the absent minded pair were too into their conversation.
Ranyu peered over his shoulder to see two people in full gi. One was an older man in his late thirties. The other still in his teenage years. The old man wore glasses and cap over his head. But the teen that had his hair back to a ponytail that reached his shoulders.
He heard two names. The older man was Genma, and the teen was Ranma. Ranyu shifted and concentrated on his training. "Let's go pop's, I need a good workout," Ranma provoked his father. "Sure boy, be ready," Genma enthusiastically said while staring at the ninja who was perfectly still.
Genma noticed his black tight suit and many accessories on the ninja. The ninja's smooth black outline's showed his muscular buff. The hilt of the ninja's blade gleamed an iridescent hue. A log spontaneously launched into the air. The ninja leaped effortlessly through the air. He seemed as a blue blur as he floated through the air with his blade brandished.
He spun vertically and landed perfectly balance on another pole. Genma watched the log fall to the ground. Time slowed as the ninja sheathed his sword as it went all the way in with a rasping click, then the log split into fourths. He stood upright in a silent pose with his arms folded and eyes closed.
Genma shrugged in disbelief as he hopped onto a pole, "C'mon boy, lets go," he impatiently taunted. Ranma leaped onto a parallel pole, "Yeah whatever pops, it's your move," Ranma bluffed and smirked. He laughed bitterly, "NOT!" he remarked.
Ranma lunged for Genma and caught him off guard. Genma fell into one of the many pools. Several seconds ticked by and finally a huge panda emerged and dropkicked the confused Ranma forcing him back toward Ranyu. Ranyu leaped forward...to nothing but Ranma. He hit Ranma then they both fell straight down. They both fell slowly into a pool. Before they hit the surface of the surging water, Ranma gave an apologetic look at Ranyu as they hit the water with a gigantic splash.
Less then milliseconds of the impact, Ranyu leaped out of the water like a scared fish. She landed on a pole. Ranyu examined the differences, he looked down and his chest bulged out. Ranyu's heart dropped below his lungs as he gulped. `Darn it! What am I going to do!' He panicked in his thoughts.
Ranma-chan emerged above the waters surface. She grasped for breath. Her gaze meet Ranyu-chan's glare. Ranma-chan gawked, "Hey! I thoug- what's wrong with my voice? I sound like a g- OH HECK NOOO!!!" Ranma whined and glanced down.
Ranma noticed that her and the ninja were now girls... Ranma stared into the ninja's flaring eyes and nervously pointed toward Genma, "He did it!"
********************************************************
Trunks meandered down the path. The cold path through the forest had an uninviting feel. The tree's beckoned toward him. `I knew going to Jusenkyou was a bad idea, but nooooo, pops decided to goooo' Trunks complained in his thoughts. Trunks' blood started to feel cold. He shivered and shook of the feeling.
Trunks peered through the veiled fog. He trudged on and stumbled forward on a rock. He closed his eyes and stopped the fall by putting his hands on the ground. He opened his and stood up. The fog was gone, along with the forest. He scanned the area and noticed a path to his right. Trunks looked around the area he was in. The area was just dirt and rocks. His heart dropped as he felt the shadows cover him. Trunks forward and saw the peak of a hill. Trunks cautiously walked the path and came to a peak of the hill. He scanned the valley below. "What the Heck is going on," Trunks thought aloud.
The land consisted of scattered pools with poles towering above them. Trunks nodded, "Jusenkyou," he mumbled and slid downhill. He hit the bottom and saw four figures talking amongst themselves. Two girls, a man.... And from the distance may have obscured his vision but, a panda. He walked to the group as the man turned.
One of the girls turned to see him approaching. She turned and moaned, he cocked a brow and shrugged it off. He looked at what seemed to be a female shinobi. She contained a blade on her back that contracted an odd aura around it... it seemed familiar.
"I'm sorry to disturb you people but, is this Jusenkyou?" Trunks questioned the group as he finally reached them. The girl looked at him and mumbled, "Hey Trunks, welcome to the party," she rubbed her temples. Trunks shifted uncomfortably as if the girl knew him. "How do y-," he was cut of mid- syllable, "It's me Trunks," she said irritable. Trunks staggered at the voice, it reminded him of his brother, Ranma.
She looked at him again and nodded, "Yes Trunks... its Ranma..." she lowered her head into her hands. "Ranma?" Trunks repeated and looked intently into her face. A huge smile appeared as he let out a bellowing laugh. Ranma came behind Trunks and hit him in the back of his head and Trunks stopped laughing and gained a serious face. "Right, sorry," he apologetically said.
Trunks thought for a moment and snapped his fingers, `one of the many curses of Jusenkyou,' he figured out the panda and Ranma. He stared diligently at the panda and leaned his head back in surprise, "Pops?" he said shocked. The panda lifted a sign, "No duh boy," it read. Trunks laughed and grabbed the panda in a headlock, "I always thought of you as a panda," he mocked his father as the panda glared.
He looked at the ninja for a second and released the panda. Trunks grasped his blade and jumped back. The shinobi's face cloth folded which probably meant she was smiling, "Trunks," she breathed as she just remembered him. "You remind me of a ninja I met, Ranyu Yusaek," Trunks grumbled and doubled over to the floor and laughed to the tears.
Ranyu smacked her head and let out a long sigh, "Trunks, would you mind?" Ranyu moaned irritated. Trunks sat up clutching his stomach. He managed to stop laughing and stand up, "Heh, sorry man, err woman," he chuckled as Ranyu kicked Trunks leg into his other one, hence tripping him.
Trunks fell slowly but was caught by Ranyu-chan. Ranyu grabbed Trunks by the collar of his jacket. Trunks looked at Ranyu's face, and saw something in his face, vengeance. Trunks gulped and saw a grin indenture at Ranyu's mouth. Ranyu swung Trunks and flung him into the air and towards the cursed pools. Trunks shrieked then cut off when he hit middle land part in between two pools.
Trunks stood up and pointed at Ranyu and let out a triumphant laugh, "HA! You couldn't get me cur-," he was cut off again by a rock hitting him in the face and he fell back into a pool. Moments passed and a puma emerged out of the water. Trunks, which is now cursed as a puma, jumped onto land. He looked at the Ranyu and Ranma, who were now on the floor laughing to the tears at the drenched puma now known as his cursed form.
He growled and walked back to the group. "Hot water reverse curse, but when struck with cold water, cursed form you turn into," the guide informed. Everyone looked at the guide then to his house. The guide shook his head, "No hot water here," he informed the now depressed group.
********************************************************
Shampoo stomped down the path leading to Jusenkyou. `Make a fool of Shampoo will they... I'll show them!' Shampoo thought angrily. Shampoo found her way down the path and to see the guide with a group of people.
She slipped past the group and to the cursed pools. She looked around and spotted a pool that gave had an enticing feeling to it, as if she was to engage that one. She trudged past the pools, sure to be careful not to fall into one. She reached the foot of the pool, `I can't believe this is a punishment' she thought to herself.
A cool breeze emitted and made Shampoo's hair fly into her face. She pulled her hair back and grumbled. Just as she was about to jump in one of the people in the group shouted to her, "You know these pools are cursed!" the man had shouted.
Shampoo cursed herself for waiting she turned around to face the shouter, "Shampoo have disgrace to be cursed," she said ashamed. The man sighed and turned back to his conversation. Shampoo turned to the pool and took a breath. She closed her eyes and hopped into the pool.
Shampoo opened her eyes, as if it was her first time. She felt her blood rise as she felt a presence was by her. She turned to see a man in the water by her. The man's face was pale and he seemed... sad. Shampoo felt a moment of pity. He elongated an arm to Shampoo and Shampoo froze. Shampoo's heart dropped and instincts told her to get out of there. She gagged and grasped her neck. She fluttered to the surface and gasped for air as she surfaced.
She looked up to see a female shinobi there with a welcoming arm. Shampoo was still in shock. She stared longingly at the arm just as the girl spoke, "Welcome to the cursed club," she joked. Shampoo returned the welcoming arm with hers and grabbed her arm and she was pulled up.
Shampoo conveyed to look at her cursed form. She felt no different, until she looked down. She placed her hands on her chest, which was now flat. Shampoo felt odd. The answer popped in her head suddenly and she stood shocked. She shrugged off the feeling and began to walk with the ninja to the group of newly cursed people.
She laughed and felt kind, "Shampoo take you to Amazon village, tournament held soon," she said with a side of cheer in her semi-deep voice. The group looked at each other confused then they all seemed to shrug in unison.
End Flashback...

Nibiki looked confused at the group, "So... where's Ranyu? Didn't he come with you guys?" she questioned as the Saotome's looked amongst themselves. "He went back to his network of ninja's to report his findings," Ranma spoke up.
Genma looked at Ranma, "He seemed to like us so I guess he'll come to find us," Genma said as if nothing happened. Ranma shrugged and let out a sigh.
