Chapter 2
"My comrades wouldn't be very pleased to hear what you had called them." Ukyo was startled by the voice behind her. She turned around quickly to face whoever had spoken.
She was more than suprised to see a girl in front of her that was about the same age as herself.
The girl's dark blue hair was gathered to one side into a long, twisted ponytail that she tied a yellow ribbon to that held two shiny stones that looked like pearls. A silver hoop could be seen dangling from her ring ear. She wore a yellow kimono that seemed liked it had been altered to the owner's desires. The kimono, if that's what one can call it, was cut up to the center of her thigh. White trimmings were seen. The left sleeve was gone with only the long one at the right left. She had on black shoes that cuddled her feet nicely with yellow ribbons that circled her ankle up to her feet. Matching gloves could be seen also. A huge white ribbon finished the outfit by wrapping around her waist and forming a big, butterfly bow on the back. A claok similair to that Ukyo had seen on the other bandits laid on her shoulder.
"Are you just gonna stare at me all day?" she said. Ukyo jumped at her voice.
"You're a-a woman!" Ukyo sputtered. She clamped her mouth the moment she said it hoping she wouldn't have to regret it. The girl laughed.
"Of course I am, not all bandits are men. Actually, my entire gang is female." She grinned at Ukyo. Ukyo was stunned and did not answer. She had thought that Sae and Kenji were men also. She wondered why they were so short.
The girl held out her hand.
"The name's Akane Tendo, leader of the Tendo Bandits!"

"Hurry, the boy is waking up," someone said.
"No worries," another person replied. He walked up behind a large carriage and punched a black bag. The mumbling sounds that were once heard from there stopped instantly.
"See-no worries," he said. The four darkly dressed men got onto the carriage and with a whip to the horses, the carriage was on its way.
"The mistress will be most pleased." The others gave a nod and replied with a joyful,"absolutely."
The carriage ride continued for a long while until the men came to a clearing near the forest.
"I need a rest," one said. The others quickly agreed for they were also very tired.
"Watch the boy, I gotta sleep."
" No, me! I need the sleep more!" Another voice interrupted his and an argument started to see who can have a nap while one watch the boy.
From the bag, a mumbling of a confused voice could be heard but the men's voices covered up the slight noise.
"What am I doing in here!" the bag suddenly shouted. The four men stopped their rambling and turned to looked at the bag.
A moment pass and nothing was heard.
Suddenly the bag ripped open and a boy appeared around the age of 17. He wore a red, chinese shirt that was sleeveless. It seemed to be made of fine silk. He wore black shoes and had on black wristbands. A black waistband was present and black pants concluded the outfit. His midnight hair was tied into a long pigtail that layed on his back. His blue eyes could be seen angrily glistering in the moonlight.
"You did not just try to kidnap me!" he said angrily. The men seemed frightened of the boy and tried to run into the darkness.
"No way! You're all gonna get it!" The boy ran angrily towards the closest man to him. The guy seemed to be frozen of fear and didn't move. With a hard punch in the face, the man fainted. This process continued with the other three men who also seemed to be paralzed.
"No one kidnaps Ranma, prince of the Saotome Kingdom." The boy clapped his hands together with a satisfying grin on his face.
"Who's the stupid freak who sent such crap to try and kidnap me?" Ranma asked a man and the floor. He kicked the man again but it seemed that he was unconscious.
"So weak." He grunted and smirked proudly to himself.
Ranma left the clearing and the four distorted men. He went into the forest looking around to see if any places looked familiar. It didn't seem so.
"Hello! Anyone there? A handsome prince in need of assistance!" he shouted. He heard this voice echoed, but there was no reply.
He continued to walk for the remainder of the day, hoping to come to a village of some sort so that he could rest. He was a prince so no way was he going sleep on the ground of the filthy dirt.
Another two hours passed and night was falling when he finally spotted a small village.
"Food…need food…" Ranma let his legs lead him to the closest hut. He poked his head into the door.
"Hello… hello!" He listened for anything and heard no response, but he heard his stomach grumble for the need of food. His legs moved him toward the table where his eyes could see some sort of food.
"Food!" His eyes eyed the food hungrily and his hands made a grab for the food that was seen on the table. As his legs stuck out, he felt something else did too and he tripped over it. As soon as he hit the floor, he felt pains soaring through his head, someone had hit him.

"Through him out," one said. They looked at the unconscious man and nodded. "Hurry before the bandits see us." They dragged him by his feet and threw him out the door. Ranma landed with a thump on his side, still not yet awoken. The people shrunk back to hide under the table, hoping that the thieves did not hear them.
"Look at what I found," a voice yelled. Sae came running over.
"What is it?" she asked.
"A boy, I think Kane will be glad," the other, Ades said.
"He'd hold for a good price."
