Chapter 2 - Journey

Ranma walking out of the village along a make shift trail. Walking he took time to admire the surrounding area. It was very beautiful indeed. The sun glinting off the morning dew on the green plants. Lovely roses and other types of flowers along the trail. Ranma may be no florist but he still can admire nature's beauty.

Ranma said to himself mostly but out loud. 'What a pleasant day.'

Of course all good things must come to an end. A man from the bushes jumped in front of him wielding a sword at his side, wearing a green shirt and pants. Another person came out of the bushes behind him also with a sword at the person's side. This person was wearing a yellow T-shirt and green pants.

The person in front of Ranma wearing the green shirt said. 'Give us all your money and maybe we will let you live.'

Ranma being Ranma said. 'Well you said maybe you'll let me live so why should I give you my money? I should kill you with me.'

The person said with a chuckle. 'It's two against one. How will you kill us?'

The man wearing the yellow T-shirt behind Ranma was planning to sneak up on Ranma and Knock him out. Boy did he make a mistake.

Ranma said smugly. 'Like this.'

Ranma flipped over the man behind him and unsheathed his katana and held it to the man's throat. The man wearing the green shirt in front was shock with surprise. While the man wearing the yellow T-shirt in Ranma's deadly grasp was praying he would not die.

The man wearing the green shirt said with shock evident in his voice. 'How did you k..know he was behind you?'

Ranma said pushing the man wearing the yellow T-shirt toward the man wearing the green shirt. 'Go on get outta here. I am not a killer.'

The man wearing the green shirt was going to say something in retort but the man wearing the yellow T-shirt took hold of the other man's hand and ran for his life.

Ranma smirk and said to himself. 'Heh. Show a back bone and the chickens run away.'

Ranma continued his lone walk to the home of the Five Demon Lords. Walking for about an hour he was getting bored but Ranma noticed the sky was getting dark. It was going to rain soon. If he didn't get to the next town soon he'll be soaked.

Ranma said to no one in particular. 'Damn.'

He broke off into a full scale sprint. Reaching speeds of nearly 55 miles per hour. After a few minutes he saw a town another 10 minutes away from his current spot. He felt a few drops. Not wanting to get wet he ran even faster. True enough he got to the town in less than ten minutes. Felling even more drop of cold droplets from the crying sky he scanned the surrounding area for a inn of some sort. After a brief minute of searching he finally found the inn. He ran into the inn. Just as he set foot in the inn the rain came down really hard. Unfortunately his body was still out side at the moment getting him soaked, and a girl.

Ranma said cursing. 'Dang it. All that running for nothing.'

Ranma walked into the wooden inn and looked around. He saw a desk right next to the door and a hallway opposite of it probably leading to the rooms with beds in them and a cafe sort of place. He also saw stairs leading both up stairs and down stairs.

Ranma thought to himself. "Wow what a huge inn.'

While musing to himself the inn keeper called out. 'Hello Madam. How can I help you today?'

Ranma cringed at being called madam and answered. 'I would like a room and the use of a furo if you got one.'

The inn keeper replied. ' Okay madam. That will be 20 gold coins.'

Ranma thought to himself before replying. "Man, What a rip off.'

Ranma said to the inn keeper who was right in front of him. 'Here you go.'

Pulling out a small leather bag which was tied with rope at the top of it. Ranma quickly took out 20 gold coins and gave it to the inn keeper. The inn keeper was of course happy because well he just made some money. The inn keeper gave Ranma a key.

The inn keeper said to the female Ranma. 'Madam you room is Room number 5 and the Furo in down stairs in the basement.'

Ranma thanked the owner of the inn and went straight down stairs. He quickly walked down the wooden steps and opened a wooden door. What did you expect to see lovely tiled floors no it was all wooden. Ranma walking in the bathroom and rinsed himself off. Then proceed into the warm, relaxing furo.

As Ranma sat in the warm water he said to himself. 'I hate the past.'

As Ranma said this he remembered his trials. What he had to go through to get at the level he is at now. It took him 5 years to reach the level he is at now. He is both the master of the sword and in hand to hand combat. After his refreshing bath he toweled himself off. Then donned his usual garb. He headed off to his room to get some well deserved rest.

Present Time:

Shampoo said in her usual stupidity. 'Where Airen Go?'

It would be a smart thing for Shampoo to run about now cause right now Nodoka is furious beyond all reason. Why Does she have all this Furry you ask? Well I tell you why, She was recently reunited with her son as in a few hours ago and now his gone. Maybe forever who knows. All the was left was the stupid broach in which Shampoo Use upon her poor son. Nodoka left the room to get something useful.

Shampoo now noticed all eyes were on her. She was the center of attention. Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi, Soun, and Genma the Panda was all staring at her.

Shampoo said to her audience. 'Grant grand mother know how bring back Airen. Yes Yes. I leave to get Her.'

Shampoo was about to leave when she had to jump back to avoid the slash of bokken at her. It was Nodoka. In her rage she went to probably Akane's Room and got a bokken.

Nodoka said in pure rage. 'You're Not Going Any Where Bitch!'

Shampoo was offended. She was a great Amazon warrior. Not even Airen Mother has the right to call her a bitch. As shampoo was about to respond. Nodoka dashed forward and smash the wooden stick into Shampoo stomach. Shampoo of course fell to one knee. After all being hit with a wooden stick from a master of the sword must hurt. Nodoka was about to hit Shampoo again but instead she hit air because Shampoo was smart enough to move back even though she probably has a broken rib.

Shampoo took out her Bori Bori. Shampoo again was about to say something but Nodoka rage got the best of her and start again with relentless attacks against Shampoo. Shampoo tried to defend but it was to fast for her. Shampoo once again retreated but this time to the backyard. Shampoo felt she could fight better with more space. She was sadly mistaken as Nodoka once again was attacking her. Shampoo tried defending with her Bori Bori but with so much pain she finally passed out. Even though Shampoo passed out.

Nodoka kept on hitting her. Genma which was still a panda had to hold her back from cause more damage because he felt the girl had felt enough pain.(Wow Genma being nice for a change Freaky.)

Nodoka Shouted in rage. 'Let Me Go! She must pay for what she has done to my baby!'

Nodoka finally slumped down to the ground. Nodoka was crying her heart out for her son. After all the activity Nodoka too passed out.

Of Course we can't forget about dear Akane opinion on the matter at hand.

Akane said what any boy hating mallet wielding girl would say. 'That pervert got what he deserved.'

Kasumi of course was angered by that remark as well as Nabiki. As Kasumi was about to get up Nabiki held her down and shook her head.

Nabiki told Kasumi in a icy cold voice. 'Let me do it.'

Nabiki went straight up to the Spoiled Brat of the tendo family and slapped her straight across the face leaving a red hand mark print on Akane's milky white face. Akane quickly nurse her wound by putting her hand on it and holding it like it was her most valued treasure.

Akane said in an outburst. 'Why did you hit my Nabiki?'

Nabiki was about to tell Akane of beyond belief but Soun stopped her by shouting. 'Akane! GO TO YOUR ROOM!'

Akane was about to what we would call back talk our parents. As Soun saw Akane about to disobey him. Soun did the second most important in his life. Soun Shouted. 'I MEAN NOW!'

Akane ran up the stairs into her room and slammed the door. Akane's hold on reality was slipping. She's wondering why everyone was ganging up on her. She only said Ranma got what was coming to him. She found out who to blame. It was Ranma's fault. It always his fault. Akane said to her self while crying into a pillow. 'Ranma No Baka.'

Else where.

Cologne Sensed that her son-in-law Ki completely vanished. She knew something was very wrong at the moment.

Cologne Shouted to Mousse. 'Clean up the store and Close the store. We must head over to the tendo's right now.'

Mousse said grumbling. 'Okay you old mummy.'

Cologne threw a bucket at Mousses head. Then replied. 'I heard that.'

Mousse Finally finished Closing down the restaurant.

Both Mousse and Cologne left toward the tendo. For what awaits them...

Ranma's Time.

As the sun was arising to meet the world we can see a figure directly in front of the sun going through kata's at a slow pace. We cannot recognize the Figure at the moment because of the sun's glare. The figure decided he was finished for the morning and starting to walk toward the inn's backdoor.

Ranma said in a cheery tune. 'That was a great workout.'

Ranma headed inside the inn walking along the wooden floors toward his room. Ranma grabbed his bag of gold that was inside his room then left it. He continued down the wooden hallways heading into a main hall where the exit is located. As he was walking outside he said to the owner of the inn. 'Have a Good Day and a Nice Life.'

Ranma walking down a dirt trail again said. 'Same old. Same old. Soon I'll get to those accursed demons.'

TBC...
