Dear Akane, when I return, I will be a full man for you! Thought Ryouga Hibiki, passing through some open-air markets somewhere in Yamanashi. His black, tie-up pants and yellow shirt were dirty and worn, and his large black backpack didn't seen to burden him with its weight. Ryouga had once again been training in the mountains, but it took him at least 5 days to get there and he then realized that he only had enough food to last him one more week so he really didn't train at all. 7 days later he had ended up here.
"Oh, young sir! You looking for something to give someone you love?" called a nearby merchant.
Ryouga blushed. "Why would you ever think that?" he scoffed. The merchant pointed to the wall where Ryouga had been standing just a few minutes ago. On it, the name "Akane" had been poked into the wall by someone's extremely strong finger. Ugg... not again… I've been in my own world thinking about her again… ooh Akane…
" Uhh… young sir?" called the merchant. Hmm… He glanced over at the boy who was obviously off in his own world making idle conversation with a mailbox. I'll think I'll help this lad out and give him my newest product. I need to test it first anyway.
"Oh, young sir!" the merchant called again "would you like to try out one of my new products for free?"
This got the boy's attention. "What is it?" he questioned as he walked over not looking saddened at all to leave his mailbox friend.
"It is very good product! Brand new, shipped right from China!"
"Tell me about it" wondered a curious Ryouga.
"Right away young sir!" said the merchant "this is product used long ago used in ancient China. It was used to let the emperors know if their servants were loyal by switching bodies with a servant and questioning other servants."
"You mean this product of yours gives e the ability to switch bodies with someone?" asked Ryouga "how does it work?"
"Yes indeed young sir!" said the merchant "all you have to do is get write with this marker on their body." The merchant pulled out a small black marker. "The ink in this marker contains a substance once absorbed into their pores creates am astral projection* of their body."
"Astral projection?" questioned Ryouga "what's that?"
"An astral projection is when the spirit of the body manifests itself visually," replied the merchant
"So, the spirit of the person will be gone, but how do I get into their body?" questioned Ryouga "And what about my own body? I can't just walk around without a spirit!"
"I was just getting to that," said the merchant "You just need to keep your body somewhere while you're in someone else's body. But after you have gotten the spirit out of the body you want to switch with, you must leave your own body by writing on your self with this marker." The merchant held up a red marker. "This marker is different. The chemicals in the ink will allow your spirit to be released, but it closes the opening to your body so another spirit cannot get inside of it. When your spirit is free, you must find the spiritless body and enter it. The black marker you used will allow you to enter the body. You must remember this! You must NOT switch the markers! Can you remember that?"
" Yes, I can remember that," answered Ryouga. This is perfect, he thought. I'll be able to control Ranma and make him and Akane mortal enemies. Ryouga laughed manically envisioning Ranma and Akane having a never-ending fight and breaking their engagement. He could just see their father's shaking heads as they realize what a horrible mistake they made. Ranma would have to leave and Mr. Tendo would ask Akane if she liked anyone and she would say in her oh-so-sweet voice, "Well, I really to like Ryouga…"
"Then it's all settled," recited Mr. Tendo "You two are now engaged!" Tears of pure joy rushed dramatically down Ryouga's face as he sighed with pleasure at this thought.
"Hey! That's my window! What do you think you're doing?" cried a voice snapping back into reality. Ryouga stopped and glanced down at his finger, which was mechanically poking holes into the glass window. Ryouga had already spelled out "Wedding: Traditional or Western?" and had stopped at the ingredients for the wedding cake.
"You must also take this sir," said the merchant handing Ryouga a red urn. "This is for the spirit from the person you're controlling so you can trap it also it doesn't freely or take control of you. People ARE able to see astral projections so be careful!"
"I will!" announced Ryouga "and thanks for this! I'll repay you someday!" Ryouga picked up the urn and the two markers and placed them in his book bag, which he had placed next to him.
"You also must remember young sir," the merchant stated as he turned around to move some books onto a shelf, more out of nervousness than out of cleanliness. "You must remember that the urn can only conceal the spirit for 24 hours and that the red marker you'll use on your self's seal to prevent spirits from entering will only last for 48 hours."
The shopkeeper turned around to bade the boy farewell and wish him good luck, but he had disappeared.

This is perfect! Thought Ryouga I'm finally going to get revenge for the hell that bastard Ranma Saotome has forced me to go through, especially my curse of being turned into a pig with a splash of cold water. "Excuse me," called Ryouga to a passerby, "Which way the Nerima, Tokyo?"
"All you have to do is head east and follow the highway," replied the passerby.
"Thank you," thanked Ryouga, bowing politely. He looked around for the morning sun and when he found it, headed in the opposite direction.
