Legal disclaimer: Rumiko Takahasi owns Ranma ½ , Wizards of the Coast owns kobolds, but I own and created Beldan ScalysnoutSeveral days had passed since Beldan had started tunneling home. On the fourth day, he decided to tunnel up and see where he was. When he popped up; it was dark. Then he stood up and bumped his head on some wood. Rubbing his head with his small, useless wings. He examined the wood; smooth maybe finished. He pondered and pondered until his reptilian instincts took over. Thinking that there might be food, he scratched at it with his small and otherwise useless claws. Eventually, his eyes saw a white thing; thinking that this would be his last barrier; he scratched it.

Genma Saotome was wide awake, having just fished himself out of the koi pond and was eating his food; between stealing from his pig-tailed boy.

When a sharp thing poked his posterior, Genma leapt.

What was that? flip Boy, no knives now

"Huh?" Ranma said as he facevaulted.

Beldan's kobold nature manifested itself and he retreated down his tunnel.

Suddenly the board moved and a black-haired girl crawled down. With draconic pride, Beldan stood his ground. The black-haired girl stumbled around in the dark and Beldan became curious. As the draconic half-pint edged closer, he became aware of this human being stuck, seeking to redeem his race by combat; he began to buffet the human with his useless wings.

Now the human was starting to show signs of getting free; so Beldan rushed down the tunnel. He began to hiss and unfurl his wings, to make himself seem bigger.

"N-n-n-neko, n-n-neko" the human was seeming to try to speak Draconic.

Beldan stopped hissing when he heard, "Mrrrrrreow."

Confused, he used a wing to scratch his scaly head. What goes Mrrreow?

Of course he didn't have to wait long to find out, as Neko-Ranma landed on top of him and Mrreowed again.

Beldan knew fear, pinned under a human; Beldan did what any reasonable kobold would do, he fainted.

A/N- Darkvision is in black and white, thus in the tunnel, Ranko had black hair.
