				In the cool breeze of a slow summer’s day, Cologne looked outside for potential customers, though few were forthcoming.&nbsp; As she made to return within, a sudden stroke of lightning flashed in the clear sky, striking among the trees in the hills, followed by distant thunder.<br><br>“Aiyaah!” called Shampoo from within as she brushed the curtains aside to peer.&nbsp; “What this?&nbsp; Lightning in middle of day without cloud?”<br><br>“An omen,” Cologne answered sombrely with creased brows and ominous portent, “something new comes to our neighbourhood...”<br><br>**************************************<br><br>It was several days later when the eldest daughter of the Tendo household was walking back from having made the weekly shopping for the house.&nbsp; It was early enough that the midday sun had not yet reached its peak, but late enough that Akane, Nabiki, and Ranma had already left for school.&nbsp; She blinked in amazement at the sooty figure that lay face-down not some yards from the very front door of her house, though there was no evidence to show what had struck him down.&nbsp; Dark and wild of hair, he wore robes of white and sandals, like that of a travelling monk.<br><br>“Are you alright?” she asked in her sweet voice as she approached tentatively, but the figure did not respond.&nbsp; In his outstretched hand, a partially charred piece of paper was still clenched in his fist with only two legible words to be seen on it: TENDO DOJO.&nbsp; Raising a slender hand to her mouth in mild shock, she pondered briefly on what to do.<br><br>“Otou-san.&nbsp; Saotome-san.&nbsp; We have a guest!” she called out cheerily with a smile.

				Soun and Genma had been playing Mahjong on the back porch of the house when Kasumi's voice was heard.&nbsp; Genma was in panda form and Soun had been losing pretty badly so the distraction was welcome.&nbsp; He quickly stood up, knocking the game board over, the pieces spilling everywhere.&nbsp; He placed his hands on the side of his head as Genma scowled, exclaiming in a way too calm voice.<br><br><strong>"Oh my goodness!&nbsp; I accidentally ruined our game.&nbsp; Whatever shall we do?"</strong><br><br>The panda held up a sign which read 'You did that on purpose', to which Soun responded with mock surprise.<br><br><strong>"Why I did no such thing, Saotome.&nbsp; Besides, it seems we have a guest to attend to."</strong><br><br>The panda shook his head and glowered even more.&nbsp; Soun quickly made his way outside to see what Kasume wanted... the girl was standing just on the edge of the gate to the street, and pointed with a smile toward the heap on the ground outside.<br><br>"He must have been traveling a long way to be in this condition, father.&nbsp; Shall I put on some tea?"<br><br>Soun nodded as Genma appeared behind him.<br><br><strong>"Yes, Kasume.&nbsp; That would be wonderful.&nbsp; Now Saotome, help me carry him into the house."</strong><br><br>The boy was carried into the Tendo house and set on a mat with a blanket over him... when he awoke he would see the smiling face of Kasume as well as Soun's face and that of a large panda, who held up a sign that read 'Are you alright?'.&nbsp; Kasume spoke in a sweet voice.<br><br>"Oh.&nbsp; Father, I think he's waking up."<br><br>Soun nodded solemnly.<br><br><strong>"Mmmm so he is."</strong><br><br>He looked down at the boy and offered a small smile.<br><br><strong>"Welcome to the Tendo Dojo, son.&nbsp; I understand you were looking for us?"</strong><br><br>

				Gentatsu opened his eyes only very slowly.&nbsp; He had been on his way to find the Tendo Dojo when...&nbsp; He gave another slight groan as he the dull pain in his head subsided, for he could tell what had happened.&nbsp; Then his eyes began to focus on the people who were gazing down at him.<br><br>Angel.&nbsp; Old man.&nbsp; Panda...&nbsp; Angel.&nbsp; Old man... Panda?&nbsp; With a sudden yelp he scrambled away until he plastered himself against the wall with an expression that was not less than bewildered.&nbsp; <strong>"P-P-Panda?!"</strong><br><br>It took him but a moment to compose himself and organise his thoughts, to realise that he was not in heaven and that the old man and panda had been a cruel joke.&nbsp; He had obviously been taken into a home and the panda was a family pet, albeit a remarkably well trained one.&nbsp; Getting to his hands and knees, he bowed low with great humility and offered his apologies:<br><br><strong>"Forgive my poor manners honoured hosts.&nbsp; My name is Makashima, Makashima Gentatsu, and I humbly thank you for taking care of this one's body whilst I lay unawares."</strong><br><br>He afforded himself a small raise of his head and lowered it, his face heated at seeing Kasumi.&nbsp; With a loud cough, he checked himself and sat up straight.<br><br><strong>"Forgive my impolite request at having just arrived to your residence and asking so, but perhaps you have seen this villain?"</strong><br><br>He held up a scrap of paper, upon which had been drawn crudely with charcoal a small diminutive figure carrying a large sack, far to large for his own body.&nbsp; Sharp teeth and a forked tongue had also been added for effect.

				As the boy scrambled up and flattened against the wall of the Tendo house, the panda and Mr Tendo blinked, a bit taken aback.&nbsp; Kasume raised a delicate hand to her face and blinked as well.<br><br>"Oh my!"<br><br>Then the boy humbled himself on hands and knees before Soun and he seemed again taken aback for a moment before he chuckled and crossed his arms, looking quite pleased.<br><br><strong>"Ha!&nbsp; You see, Saotome?&nbsp; At least some people know how to give me the proper respect I deserve."</strong><br><br>He stepped forward and knelt, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder as he sat upright.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Well now... Makashima was it?&nbsp; Let's see what we have here"...</strong><br><br>He paused and he and the panda examined the paper... their eyes bugging out as they beheld the image.&nbsp; The panda held up a sign which read "is that-" and Soun's hands trembled.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"Well erm... I erm... can't say that I've seen such a person."</strong><br><br>It was then that a creaky old man's voice could be heard just as Happosai himself peeked over the panda's shoulder, looking over the piece of paper as well.<br><br><strong>"Well now... I wouldn't say it's a terrible likeness, but it's not bad, bwahahahaha!"</strong><br><br>Soun and the Panda immediately spun around and began grovelling rather pathetically at the feet of the old man.<br><br><strong>"M-m-master!&nbsp; Forgive us your humble servants.&nbsp; We are not worthy."</strong><br><br>The panda held up a sign that read 'What he said' and continued to grovel along with 'Master' of the Tendo house, Soun.&nbsp; Kasume in the meantime simply shook her head, still sitting where she had been before.<br><br>"Oh, father"...<br><br>

				Even as they grovelled before the laughing old man, Gentatsu stood up with a decisive stamp of his foot, his fist clenching and paper shredding before his fingers. <strong> “To think that you would be so brazen as to appear before me without a shred of shame, villain,”</strong> he grated, his smile too serious to be anything but annoyed.<br><br>For the briefest of moments, he could feel his fighting spirit ready to soar and even contemplated letting it loose – the object of all his misfortune right there before him – but his eyes shifted and he saw that an angel was nearby.&nbsp; So he choked his ire and held his peace.&nbsp; But he pointed vehemently at Happosai, so close the old man had to look cross-eyed to look at the finger of accusation, indeed seemed all the more puzzled.<br><br><strong>“A week from now I shall return foul goblin and I would have a duel with you for redress of your theft.&nbsp; If you have any shred of worth left, you will face me... at the yard of that school I spied on the way to this house you have defiled!”</strong><br><br>With a rustle of his cloak, he walked out through the back door, and leaped clear over the garden wall.&nbsp; Giving his neck a crack, it was time he prepared himself to trade blows with the old devil, and with a self-satisfied smile, he began walking down the road, unmindful that he was heading in the direction of Furinkan High School.<br><br>Pausing in his stride, he pondered for a moment.&nbsp; <strong>"Did that old man say 'master'?"</strong>&nbsp; Perhaps he had misheard.&nbsp; Giving a shrug, he continued along his path.

				Happosai narrowed his eyes as he was spoken to in such a disrespectful manner.&nbsp; This new kid sounded a lot like Ranma in that.&nbsp; It looked like he was going to have to put him in his place.&nbsp; He blinked as the boy stuck his finger in his face and turned to walk off.<br><br><strong>"Oh is that so, you little punk?&nbsp; Fine then.&nbsp; I'll have to show you who your better is."</strong><br><br>As Gentatsu walked off down the road (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=113074.0), the old man shook his head.<br><br><strong>"In my day no one talked like that to their elders.&nbsp; Who was he anyway?"</strong><br><br>(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/HapposaiMad.jpg)<br><br>The other two continued to grovel as Kasume stood up and began to walk to the kitchen.<br><br>"I wonder if he'll be back."
