Disclaimer: This is an act of fiction, this is a crossover between Legend of the Five Rings, a d20 product owned by Wizards of the Coast and Ranma an anime. I own few if any of the characters.

No characters of Bungie's Oni were harmed in the writing of this story. The title of this story in no way includes ownership of any copyright. A big thanks to CQB games for publishing Beyond Monks. That said, let's break a leg.

After much thought, Keyorn decided that tonight he would speak with Nabiki-san.

The woman behaved like a Scorpion, but she was Crab through and through; her spirit rivaled that of some Crab warriors. If her spirit remained at this level she would have been a fine bride, but she had a warrior's strength locked away; a cold burning fire that made her far deadlier than any tigress.

He heard a rapping at his door, "Enter, honored one." He heard the door slide closed, "Look, I didn't mean to startle you; by changing in front of you."

"It is I who should apologize, Saotome-san; I should have seen through Fu-Leng's tricks."

Keyorn bowed with his head touching the floorboards. "This insignificant guard of a temple should have judged you differently." This boy should have been a samurai; he had the bearing and the honor.

"I am still at fault for shocking you."

"I think the shock to my system was beneficial. I am no longer in the 12th century. Ranma-san you possess the ability to become a great samurai. I journeyed with many, maybe I can help you become one."

"Origato, Hajime-san; but I strive to become the best martial artist. Perhaps a master of your ability can assist me?"

"I would be honored, Saotome-san, but I am nowhere near a master of the martial arts."

"Then do me a favor, call me Ranma, and not Mr. Saotome. That's the panda's name."

This boy and his father must have angered the Dark Kami in some way. He thought.

"The night owl calls me to rest, kami be with you."

Keyorn fell asleep, suddenly he felt a tugging at his soul; as he closed his eyes he was assaulted by a dream, or could it truly be a nightmare?
