After arriving in China, Inu-yasha, Koga, Kai, Serenity, and Randy all went deep into the mountains trying to find the Cursed Springs. "Come on you guys, its not much farther !" said Randy as he jumped onto a ledge. "What are we looking for again ?" asked Koga. "A training ground" said Inu-yasha. "Must we train wherever we go ?!" shouted serenity. "Not much farther now !!" shouted randy as he ran ahead. "You said that 2 hours ago !!" shouted serenity. "Im hungry and tired" said Kai. "I guess we can take a rest" said randy. Everyone fell down at that moment. "We've been walking for 5 hours straight...need rest" said Kai as he drifted off to sleep. "Randy, are you sure you know where your going ?" asked Inu-yasha.
Randy was looking around, looking a bit worried. "That's strange...haven't I seen that fallen tree a few times before ?" asked Randy. Everyone anime fell. "You mean to tell us that were lost ?!!" shouted Koga. Randy laughed nervously. "Serenity ? Feel like seeing if theres anything around ?" asked Inu-yasha. "Yeah" said serenity. "Well here you go !!" shouted Inu-yasha as he picked serenity up and tossed her upwards into the air. "AAAAAHHHHH !!!!!" screamed serenity as she started falling back down.
Inu-yasha caught her. "See anything ?" he asked. "Nope, I had my eyes closed in fear !!" shouted serenity. "Then I'll try again" said Inu-yasha as he threw serenity up into the air again. "Nothing yet, all I see is mountains, higher next time !!" shouted serenity. Inu-yasha caught her again and tossed her up once more. "I see something !! Like a village !!" shouted serenity. "Great !" said Inu-yasha. Serenity fell back down, but landed on her head since Inu-yasha didn't catch her.
"Owww..." mumbled serenity. "Serenity, are you ok ?!" shouted Koga. "My head..." said serenity. Koga looked at her head. "Nothing seems wrong, your hard-headed, remember ?" said Koga. "Oh yeah" said serenity. Randy then felt a power close by. "Oh no...Let's go you guys !!" shouted randy as he ran ahead. "Whats the rush ?!" shouted Koga. "I don't have time to explain, just come on !" said randy as he ran off at his full speed into the forest. Inu-yasha, Koga, and Kai followed him at an equal pace. "Hey, wait for me !!" shouted serenity as she ran after them.
Unfortunately, even though she was fast, Serenity was nowhere near as fast as her brother or the others yet since she was still a young demon. "Aw man...I hope I don't get lost" said serenity. Then, serenity lost her footing and fell off of the ledge she was on. "AAAAAAHHHHHH !!!!!" screamed serenity. Before she could hit rock bottom, someone caught her at the last second.
"Im saved...but by who ?" thought serenity. "Fear not, I heard you scream and saved you just in time" said the person who was carrying her. "Put me down now, im fine" said serenity. "You don't want me to do that" said the person. "Yes, I want you to !" said serenity. "Are you sure ?" asked the person. "YES !!!" shouted serenity. "Alright then" said the person as he dropped serenity. Serenity ended up falling farther down, lucky she landed on her head. "I told you" said the person. "Why didn't you tell me we were up so high ?!!" shouted serenity. The person sighed. "Who are you anyway ?" asked Serenity. The person with shoulder length black hair, green eyes, and wore a yellow shirt with black pants spoke up once more. "My name is Ryuenja" said the person. "Ryuenja ? Where have I heard the name before ?" said serenity.
(Flashback)
"Breaking Point !!" shouted randy as he ran at serenity and kicked her right in the stomach. Serenity flew forwards and hit the ground. "And that is the Breaking Point move" said randy. Serenity sat up, looking terrified. "It...felt like my whole body broke in half over and over again" said serenity. "That's why the move got its name, when inflicted, the enemy feels like they're being broken into pieces" said randy. "Wow, who taught you all these moves ?" asked serenity.
Randy looked up at the sky. "His name was Ryuenja" said randy. "He must've been powerful" said serenity. "Yeah, a powerful pain in my neck ! He was a good sensei and all, but the guy was strict about training !!" shouted randy. "How strict ?" asked serenity. "Whenever I didn't do something right he had to hold a bucket of water in each hand for an hour. And then there was this other time when I was to sit in a room, and think of nothing, nothing ! Do you know how hard it is to think of nothing ?!!" shouted randy. "It cant be that hard !" said serenity. "In short, Ryuenja is a stubborn, power-abusive, wannabe, too strict jerk" said randy.
(End flashback)
"Oh yeah ! Your the stubborn, power-abusive, wannabe, too strict, jerk" said serenity. "Hmm ?!!" said Ryuenja sternly. He yanked serenity's ear and glared at her. "Care to repeat that ?" asked Ryuenja. Serenity sniffled and cried. "Oh no ! Im sorry ! I didn't mean it little one ! Please don't cry !" said Ryuenja as he let serenity's ear go. Serenity smiled and her fake tears went away. "It wasn't me who called you all those things, my friend Randy did" said serenity.
"Randy ? Randall Kyotanashi ?" asked Ryuenja. "Yep, he said you were his sensei" said serenity. "And he called me all those things ?" asked Ryuenja. Serenity nodded. Ryuenja nodded, he wasn't mad at all. "I see, maybe I was a bit strict" said Ryuenja. "If you don't mind, I have to find my brothers and my friends" said serenity. "I'll help you find them" said Ryuenja. "Thanks" said serenity.
Before Serenity and Ryuenja could start looking, a large tornado came from the forest and stopped in front of them. Out of it came Koga himself. "Serenity ! Are you alright ?!" asked Koga. "Yes, im fine thanks to him" said serenity as she pointed at Ryuenja. Koga looked at Ryuenja and growled. "Look you, Serenity is my woman, so don't even think about getting on her good side !!" shouted Koga. "Koga ! He saved me from falling down a cliff ! I owe my life to him" said serenity. "He saved you ?!" asked Koga. "Yep" said serenity.
"It seems you 2 know each other well" said Ryuenja. "Were lovers" said Koga. "How nice" said Ryuenja. Inu-yasha, Randy, and Kai then came into the clearing. "Serenity, you got lost didn't you ?!" said Inu-yasha. "Yeah but its not my fault !" said serenity. Randy then saw Ryuenja and grew nervous. "Randall Kyotanashi, its been a while" said Ryuenja. "You 2 know each other ?" asked Kai. "Yes, we go way back" said randy.
"You seem upset seeing me, whats wrong ?" asked Ryuenja. "I just remember all the things I went through with you" said randy. "Lets see if you've been training, come at me" said Ryuenja. "Alright then, here I come !!!" shouted randy as he ran at Ryuenja. Ryuenja just stood there, waiting. When randy kicked at Ryuenja, he merely grabbed his foot and tossed him upward then jumped up after him and elbowed him in the chest, sending randy crashing to the ground.
"Kawaiso" said Ryuenja. "What a pity, he said" said serenity. "He's good" said Koga. "I was just going easy on him...if I were trying to hit him, I would have" said Randy as he got up. "I believe that" said Ryuenja. "You mind taking us to your staying Ryuenja, we're lost" said randy. "No problem" said Ryuenja.
"It must be great living in china" said serenity. "It's alright, although there is lots of noise that comes from this village nearby, full of women" said Ryuenja. "Well ! Im gonna go get some fresh air !" said Kai as he went outside. "I'll join you !" said Koga as he ran out too. "Same here !!" shouted Inu-yasha as he followed them. "They seem to want to see the village of women..." said randy.
(at Ryuenja's home)
"They have no respect for girls..." said serenity. Suddenly, Ryuenja punched a hole in the floor. "Sorry, but I can't stand it when people act like that when they hear of, or see women !! It's disgraceful !!!" yelled Ryuenja. "Then prepare your ears, Serenity goes through it a lot" said randy. Ryuenja sat next to serenity and looked into her eyes. "Is this true ? But you are only a little girl" said Ryuenja. "They know when I grow up, I'll be...desirable" said serenity.
"And her brother hits her" said randy. "WHAT ?!!" shouted Ryuenja. "Not that way ! But he has a way of disciplining her" said randy. "How ?" asked Ryuenja. Serenity whispered to Ryuenja for a second, then Ryuenja gasped. "Such cruel punishment for such an innocent girl !!" shouted Ryuenja.
"Its ok, don't pity me" said serenity. "And you don't even mind it ?! Im sure you will have a great life when you grow up with that attitude" said Ryuenja. "Sensei, do you know where the cursed springs are ?" asked randy. Ryuenja's eyes widened. "Uhhh..." said Ryuenja. "Whats the matter ?" asked randy.
"I rather not say..." said Ryuenja. Inu-yasha then came in, looking none too pleased. "The cursed springs are closed !! No one can get within 100 feet of the place !!!" yelled Inu-yasha. "So we came here for nothing ?" asked serenity. "Yes, that pretty much it" said Inu-yasha. "Well...we will be leaving soon then" said Koga as he entered. Kai came in again and leered at serenity. "Just you wait my dog-eared girl...you will be mine very soon" thought Kai. "Hmm...that Kai fellow is after this girl..." thought Ryuenja.
