Well, this is a really rough copy (Only spelling mistakes are fixed) of the
first in a series of Ranma stories I've written dealing with the appernace
of my new character. Enjoy!

______________________________________________________________________________


(The Cafeteria at Furinkan at lunch time. Every seat is taken save one at the
table were Akane, Ranma, Nabiki and Uyko are sitting. Suddenly Kuno bursts
into the cafeteria he looks around and spies the seat and storms over.)

Nabiki: Hey Kuno-Baby, what's up?

Kuno: What is up! Indeed! have you seen this? (Kuno thrusts a paper at them)

Akane: What's this?

Ranma: That's the Kolkhoz High School paper. What so Important about it?

Kuno: Saotome, do you know not how to read? (Kuno Points to the headline)

Uyko: "Mysterious Masked Stranger Wollops Keiichi Shinohara". Who's Keiichi
      Shinohara?

Nabiki: He's Kolkhoz's Kendo Champion. (They all look at her) What?

Akane: Nothing, but Kuno, why are you so concerned?

Kuno: Read the article. (Kuno hands the Paper to Nabiki)

Nabiki: (Reading from the paper) "A mysterious masked stranger showed up the 
       other day and challenged our own local Kendo club captain. He soundly
       defeated Keiichi in one round. 
        After the match the stranger declares 'Blue Thunder of Furinkan High,
       You're next'."

Akane: Now I see.

Ranma: Come on Kuno, you're not really afraid of this? 

Kuno: Keiichi Shinohara was second only to me in my age group, and if he was
      defeated so soundly and quickly, this masked challenger must be a 
      formidable opponent.

Nabiki: I really don't think you need to worry Kuno-baby.

(Suddenly, an arrow speed through the window, past Kuno's head, and embedding
it's self in the wall. Kuno's eyes roll back and he falls to the floor.)

Ranma: (Leans over to Akane) Another inch and all our problems would be 
       solved.

(Akane elbows him.)

Ranma: Ouff!

(A bunch of other students are crowding around the arrow.)

Student: Hey, there's a note on the shaft.

Another student: Hey let me see...

(Students try to grab the note. Nabiki pushes herself through the throng of
people. She grabs the note.)

Nabiki: (Reading the note) "To Blue Thunder of Furinkan High. I, the great and
        noble one, do challenge you to personal and honorable combat in the
        basketball court at the time of 3:30 in the pm."

Ranma: Hey, that's kinda funny.

Nabiki: What? Why do you say that.

Ranma: Well, It does sound like one of those letters that Kuno writes. It 
       sounds like Kuno sent a letter to himself.

(Nabiki walks over to Kuno who's just getting up.)

Nabiki: Hey, Kuno-baby, look at this. (She hands the note to him.)

Kuno: What is this. (He rattles the note) A Challenge! 

(Kuno stands up and runs from the cafeteria.)

Akane: What was that note?

Ranma: It was a challenge or somethin'.

Akane: Who from?

Ranma: I dunno, but it sounds like some one who thinks along the line of Kuno.

Akane: That's really scary.

(The bell rings for the afternoons classes.)

Uyko: You've better get to class. I'll see ya Ranma-Honey. (Uyko leaves the
      cafeteria for her classes.)

Ranma: Uh, ya, uh thanks for the lunch. 

Akane: I really don't no why you took Uyko's lunch when Kasumi made you a fine
      lunch all ready.

Ranma: Uh, well, Uh, I ah...

Akane: Oh, just shut up and lets get to class. (She runs down the hall)

Ranma: Hey, Wait up! (Ranma runs down the hall after her.)

(It's after school, and a crowd has gathered on the slopes that encircles
the basketball court, Kuno stands on the centerline with Nabiki.)

Nabiki: Hey, It's 3:30, where the heck is this challenger.

Kuno: No doubt he has backed out rather than to face a humiliating defeat
      at my hands.

Nabiki: Anything you say Kuno-baby.

(Nabiki walks over to where her gang is gathered.)

Girl 1: Hey boss, we've collected over 1000 yen in bets, but there all for 
        Kuno.

Girl 2: Yea, I hope this challenger is as good as his reputation is.

Nabiki: Well, it's past the time, he maybe a now show. And that would not 
        be...

(Nabiki is cut short)

Boy: Hey, who's that?

(Everyone turns and looks at one of the nets. Standing on the back board of the
net is a figure in a open dark navy blue robe over a lighter blue one. A 
breastplate is viable over the torso, grieves and bracers are on the legs and
arms. High boots are visible just beneath the inside robe. The hood of the 
robe is drawn up and a covering covers the face, where only a pair of green
eye's pear out. On his back are two quiver like things full of long wooden 
dowels.)

Kuno: So, you finally come.

Stranger: Yes, I have. Now Blue Thunder of Furinkan High, Taste the wrath of
          the great and noble one, Aiiii! 

(With a graceful leap into the air, the stranger comes flying at Kuno. He
pulls out a bokken and aims in at Kuno. Kuno block the strike, and the 
stranger uses the block to propel it's self over Kuno's head.)

Kuno: Ahh, Thunder Attack! Dadadadaadadadadadadadadadadada!

(Kuno does that thing that he does in movie 2 against Wonton the dogman.)

Stranger: Ha, a beginners attack! Tornado Block! 

(The Stranger twirls his bokken as if it was a baton, and blocks Kuno's 
strikes. The sound of wood striking wood is heard.)

Ranma: Wow, he's spinning that thing so fast it's like he's holding a piece
       of wood up in front of him.

(Kuno backs off, and charges the Stranger. The Stranger leaps over Kuno and
lands a significant distance away from Kuno.)

Stranger: It is time to end this! Tsunami Strike!

(The Stranger violently sweeps his bokken trough the air, which makes a 
roaring noise. Kuno is struck full in the chest and is thrown back and 
collides with the net.)

Crowd: Ohhhh!

Ranma: That godda hurt.

Akane: I hope he's not hurt.

Stranger: (He reaches into it's robe and pulls out a pad and pen) Let's see..
          Blue Thunder of Furinkan High, Defeated. All right! That's it, now
          all I need to do if find the Tendo Dojo.

( The Stranger runs and leaps away)

Ranma: Hey, did he just say, he needed to find the dojo?

Akane: I think we should get home.

(Nabiki comes over.)

Nabiki: Hey, I just made a killing, I just hope Kuno-baby is all right.

Akane: Hey, did you here that last thing he said?

Nabiki: No. What was it?

Ranma: He said something about finding the dojo.

Akane: I'd like to know why. Lets go.

Nabiki: I guess.

(The three run off.)

(At the Tendo Dojo, Genma and Soun are playing Go, and Kasumi is drying 
clothes. There is a knock on the front door.)

Kasumi: Oh my, father, it seems that we have a visitor.

(Kasumi goes around the corner and out of sight.)

Kasumi:(Voice only) Oh, Hello, what can I do for you.

Genma: Got ya! Hahahahahahahaha!

Soun: Wait! 

(Nabiki, Akane and Ranma are entering the house. They walk down the hall and 
turn the corner.)

Akane: Hey, who's this?

Ranma: It's him! They guy that beat Kuno!

Kasumi: Oh, let me introduce our guest, Shirow Megumi.

Shirow: Hello. (He stands up and bows. He's wearing the same outfit as before
but you can see his face. He has a square jaw and brown hair, kinda like Kuno
but it has a kinder look to it. His hair is shorter too.)

Nabiki: So that's what you look like. Hmm, I guess I should thank you. 

Shirow: Why is that?

Nabiki: Oh, it just means that I didn't need to fix the match to win.

Shirow: That's awful!

Nabiki: Well, morally it is, but...

Akane: What brings you here?

Shirow: Well, it's a long story.

Nabiki: Ohhh, I love stories....

Ranma: I hope it's not to long...

Shirow: It all starts 3 years ago, when I was 16. My Mother died when I was 5
        and my father was dying at the time. I was being schooled in Osaka, at
        a boarding school. My father owned a good number companies and was 
        very very rich...

Nabiki: (Brightens up) RICH?!

Akane: Sit down Nabiki. (She pulls Nabiki down.)

Shirow: Well, anyway, my father sent for me. When I arrived home in Yokohama,
        my father told me that he was very disappointed in me. He said that
        even though I was master of all weapons, my father believed that only 
        cowards used weapons to fight. So my father told me that I should 
        learn hand to hand combat. He said I should first travel to a China
        and find the amazons, then I should go to a training ground...

Ranma: Oh, no not that.

Shirow: If I still wasn't good enough, I should return to Japan and find 
        his old friend Soun Tendo's Dojo, and he would teach me. I tried that,
        but he didn't' tell me what the training ground's name was, so I spent
        a year wandering around to nearly every training ground in China. Most
        were just obstacle courses, but the last one I came to was really
        weird, just a bunch of poles in springs. (He shifts in his seat) Well,
        after that, I looked around and found the village of the Amazons, well
        weren't much help either. (Again, he shifts) So, before I came here,
        I decide to find out if I had lost any skill so I went and challenged
        all of the high schools in Japan Kendo captains. I defeated all of 
        them. (He beams at this).

Nabiki: Just how rich are you...

Akane: I really don't think that matters.

Shirow: Oh, I don't mind. Lets see, um, I've got 500 million yen to my name
        right now. When I'm 21, I get 1/3 of what's left, when I get married
        I get another 1/3, and when my first child I born I get the last 1/3.
        It all comes to about, uh, a couple hundred billion yen. 
        
Nabiki: A couple hundred BILLION yen?!

Akane: Nabiki!

(Soun comes over an puts his hands on Shirow's shoulders)

Soun: Now son, what do you plan on doing with all that money? What about 
      marriage? Now I have...

(Akane knocks over her father)

Akane: DAD! You all ready made enough trouble arranging marriages with me, so
       don't get any ideas!

Shirow: Oh, I almost forgot, this is for you. (Shirow reaches into his robe 
        and pulls out a note and hands it to Soun.)

Soun: What's this? (He opens it up and another piece of paper fall out.)

(Nabiki come over and looks over her fathers shoulders)

Nabiki: (Reads) "To my old friend Soun Tendo, I, Hikaru Megumi have sent my 
        only son and only heir to you so you can teach him the civilized hand
        to hand combat. To cover the living costs that he will impose upon
        your house hold, I have provided you with a gift of 100 million yen."
        (She picks up the paper that had fallen from the note.) Whoa, it IS a
        check for 100 million yen! Father you will let me take care of it for
        you.

Soun: Uh, well, I...

Kasumi: Oh my, that could pay for our food bills for years and we could also
        fix the water heater for good.

Genma: That is all fine, but were will He sleep?

Kasumi: Oh that's easy, he could stay in the store room upstairs. We could 
        move all the stuff beneath the training hall, there's lots of space
        down there.

Soun: You're right Kasumi! 

Kasumi: Come with me, Shirow.

Shirow: Yes.

(Shirow gets up and gets his backpack from the floor and follows Kasumi
upstairs.)

Nabiki: Wow, 100 million yen.

Akane: I wonder what Shirow is like.

Ranma: What? 

Akane: I wonder what living with him is like.

(Kasumi and Shirow are upstairs walking down the hall.)

Shirow: So your, uh...

Kasumi: Kasumi.

Shirow: And your sisters?

Kasumi: Nabiki and Akane.

Shirow: Which one was Nabiki?

Kasumi: She's the one in the shorts. 

Shirow: Ah.

Kasumi: It must be hard for you to have no one.

Shirow: What? Oh, no not really. I keep myself occupied with my skills and
        my writings.

Kasumi: That's good. Here we are. (Kasumi opens a door at the end if the 
        hall.) 

(The room is quite small and is pilled high with boxes.)

Kasumi: I hope it's not too small. I'll get Ranma to help you clear it out.
        It's much bigger than it looks.

Shirow: Oh, it's fine. Were is the kitchen?

Kasumi: Why?

Shirow: Oh, I haven't had lunch and I would like to fix myself something to 
        eat.

Kasumi: Oh, I'd be happy to make something for you. 

Shirow: I've never had someone offer to make me a meal before outside a 
        restaurant.

Kasumi: (She smiles and puts her hand on Shirow's shoulder) Well, I'll have
        to fix that. (She turns and walks down the hall. Ranma passes her down
        the hall.)

Ranma: Yo, Shirow. I guess I ought help you move all this junk down to the
       basement.

Shirow: I guess so.

(Ranma and Shirow pick up a bunch of boxes each and carry them down the hall.
They are in the Basement of the hall. It's filled with armor and weapons of
every description)

Shirow: Whoa, neat. (He walks over and picks up a sword that's covered in dust
       and cob webs) 

Ranma: Hey, look at the detail.

Shirow: Hey, this looks really old. Whoa, (He slides it out of the sheath) 
        the scroll work is incredible. 

Ranma: From what they've told me, this stuff is all from the Tendo's history.
       Maybe this sword belonged to some great warrior, or was made by a 
       master smith.

Shirow: I think I've seen this work before but where...well, lets get the rest
        of that stuff. I'd like to be able to lay down tonight.

Ranma: Yea.

(The run back and forth carrying boxes and stuff. At one point Kasumi stops 
Shirow and gives him something to eat. All the while, P-Chan is sitting on
the railing. At one point Ranma knocks him off and into a box that Shirow is
carrying.)

Shirow: Well, that's it.

Ranma: Yea, hey, your pretty good at this kinda stuff.

Shirow: What?

Ranma: (Laughs) Oh, nothing. Hey, It should be dinner time, let go and see
       what's cooking.

Shirow: I will have to get used to having my meals cooked for me.

(They, go down stairs and see dinner all laid out. The rest of the family is
gathered around the table.)

Shirow: Oh, my robes are all dusty. (He pads at them, then just stripped them
        off. He is wearing a very dark blue shirt like Ranma's, and black 
        pants.)

Kasumi: Oh my, you two sure have similar tastes.

Ranma: Ya know, you probably started dressing like that before I did.

Shirow: Most likely. Well, now, that food smells delicious Kasumi. I am 
        honored to be at such a wonderful meal, I thank you. (He gives a 
        deep bow.)

Nabiki: (To Akane) Hey, polite and rich, I like him better every time I see
        him.

Akane: Nabiki!

(Shirow and Ranma sit down and eat.)

Soun: So, you're a weapons master?

Shirow: Kind of.

Soun: Hmmm?

Shirow: If I pick up anything that can be used as a weapon, I will, from
        chopsticks to a tire iron. Oh, and also normal ones too.

Ranma: I'd like to see that.

Shirow: What?

Ranma: Oh nothing.

Shirow: Tell me.

Ranma: Ok, well, it's just allot of people I know fight with odd weapons, like
       umbrella and spatulas.

Shirow: How interesting.

Genma: Lets stop talking and eat. Kasumi cooking is some of the best I have 
       ever tasted.

Kasumi: Oh, Mr. Saotome you are always so kind.

(Ranma leans over to Shirow)

Ranma: And Akane's is the most deadliest you'll ever taste...

(Akane punches Ranma in the nose)

Akane: I HEARD THAT!

(They eat and Ranma and Shirow go to the bath)

Shirow: Wow, this is all like some sort of dream.

Ranma: Huh? What do you mean?

Shirow: Well, most of my life, I have either lived in a boarding school with
        a thousand other boys, with a big bath and a mess hall or in a 
        wilderness under the stars or in a hostel. I must say, Kasumi is one
        of the most wonderful people I have ever met.

Ranma: Heh, I hope you don't have anything more the friendship in mind. 

Shirow: Oh, what do you mean by that?

Ranma: Lets just say that someone else that I consider a friend has his heart
       and mind set on her.

Shirow: What a lucky man.

Ranma: I don't know about that, he has a tendency to go nuts around her.

Shirow: Ha! Nabiki's not involved is she?

Ranma: (Stares blankly for a second) I don't think so, but why?

Shirow: Oh nothing.

(Akane is heard in the distance.)

Akane: P-Chan! P-Chan! Where are you?!

Shirow: What's that all about?

Ranma: Oh, Akane's just looking for her pet pig.

Shirow: What an odd pet. 

Ranma: You don't know that half of it.

(Akane is looking around the house.)

Akane: P-Chan!

Kasumi: What seems to be the matter, Akane?

Akane: Kasumi, have you seen P-Chan?

Nabiki: I think she was cooking him. Ha ha!

Kasumi: Nabiki, that isn't true?

Akane: Really, have either of you seen him?

Nabiki: No, have you Kasumi?

Kasumi: No, not sense noon.

Akane: I can't find him anywhere! I'm really worried.

Nabiki: Have you asked Ranma?

Akane: I haven't thought about that. 

(Akane walks away)

Nabiki: Hey Kasumi, have you seen my black book?

Kasumi: You mean the one with the rings or the other one.

Nabiki: How do you know that? 

Kasumi: Oh, they are quite interesting. Do you really do that with pickles?

Nabiki: (Gets all blue in the face) Kasumi!!  

(Shirow and Ranma are stepping out of the bath room when Akane walks up to 
them)

Akane: Have you seen P-Chan!? (She grabs Ranma and shakes him)

Shirow: P-Chan? What's that?

Ranma: Her little Piggy.

Shirow: Oh.

Akane: Well!?

Ranma: No, but I'll look for him. Come on Shirow, I'll introduce you to 
       P-chan.

Shirow: Sounds good.

(Shirow and Ranma run around the house, Shirow is looking significantly 
harder than Ranma. After about and hour, they have searched the entire house.)

Shirow: Where could he be?

Ranma: We can try beneath the hall.

Shirow: Uh, ok.

(They Travel beneath the hall.)

Ranma: All right, now you see, P-chan is actually this guy named Ryoga. He's
       go no sense of direction, so he disappears from time to time.

Shirow: Oh, well, that's good, so what do you do when Akane gets like this?

Ranma: Well, I uh...(There's a noise from one of the boxes that they moved 
      earlier.) Hey, what that? (He goes over to the box and opens it.)
      Well, what do you know, here you are Ryoga. (He holds up P-Chan.)

Shirow: So this is P-Chan.

P-Chan: Erink? (Looks at Shirow questionably)

Ranma: Here...(Dumps a kettle of hot water on him) Now talk.

Ryoga: Who the heck is this?

Shirow: I'm Shirow Megumi.

Ranma: He's going to be living with us for a while.

Ryoga: Well, now...

Shirow: Don't worry, I'm no trouble.

Ryoga: Well, I'm kinda getting kinda cold standing here naked...( Ranma dumps
a bucket of water over him)...Ahhh!...Erink!!!

Ranma: Lets take you back to the house.

( They walk back to the house)

Kasumi: Well, if you don't want me to read them, don't leave them around. 

Nabiki: I thought you were above that kind of stuff. Both my black books are
        Private.

Kasumi: Well, at least I didn't use you accounts.

Nabiki: Kasumi, what's happened to you?

Kasumi: Well, I'm not always subservient and docile. I do go out some times.

(Ranma and Shirow enter the room.)

Nabiki: Oh, found P-Chan I see, Well, Ranma, better take him to Akane.

Ranma: Sure. (Ranma Walks out of the Room with P-Chan).

Nabiki: Hey, Shirow, are you going to go to school?

Shirow: Does Kasumi?

Kasumi: No, not for two years.

Shirow: See, I'm nineteen, so I don't need to go to school.

Nabiki: Then what are you going to do with your life? 

Shirow: I'll be a wealthy gadabout.

Nabiki: I envy you.

Shirow: You could always find some rich guy and marry him, or at least have
        a torrid love affair with. (Shirow Smiles)

Nabiki: Oh, I'm sure you could suggest at least one person that fits that 
        bill? Hmmmm?

Shirow: Oh I'm sure, but I think you already know who I would suggest, but
        I'm going to bed, good night. (He walks off)

(The next morning, Kasumi is up making breakfast alone. Shirow Walks in
to the kitchen while she's cooking)

Kasumi: Oh, good morning Shirow. What are you doing up so early?

Shirow: I'm always up at this time. I've got balance fighting training's to do,
        so I'm going outside. Call me in you're finished preparing. 

Kasumi: All right.

(Shirow sets up a tightrope across the lawn and begins to balance himself and
do various moves and techniques. He's balancing on the tip of a katana when 
Ranma and Genma come out.)

Ranma: Hey pop, watch this. (He leaps into the air at Shirow) Shirow, defend
       Your self! 

(Shirow pushes himself into the air and blocks Ranma, but raps a nunchaku 
around Ranma's leg and pulls on it. They both fall into the pool.)

Ranma: Argh! Huh? Wha..?

(Another redhead comes out of the pool, looks like Ranma-Chan, but minus the
ponytail.)

Genma: Who, Wha...? Shirow is that you?

Shirow: Well, I guess I can't keep this a secret anymore.(He blushes)

Ranma: Hey there! What's with this!

Shirow: Remember how I said I went to a certain Chinese training ground.

Genma: And you fell into a pool and came out like this?

Ranma: Well, welcome to the club Shirow, welcome to the club.
