Chapter 2

     Through the doorway I stepped, into a lunch-hall.  I noticed her
immediately, being confronted by a guy, who seemed to be asking if he could sit
with her.  I could tell that her response was very cold, I could feel it from
where I was.
     Nervous again.  Another staff at my side.  I grabbed on to it for support.
     I tried to make myself more confident, and walked up to her.  She glanced
at me, and then glared.  I could feel the anger.  I steeled myself and asked
her
a small question.
     "If you wanted anything I might be able to give, no matter how large, what
would it be?"
     Ranma looked startled for a second, and then resumed her glare, "If you
could change me back into a guy, for even one minuite, I might let you live for
that comment."
     I sighed, and then held my staff towards her, doing what felt right for
her
request. "Grab the staff, and don't be suprised if it hurts a little." She
slowly grabbed onto the staff.
     A shock flew through me.  From how Ranma looked, one went through her, as
well.  Then IT happened.  My staff disappeared.  Everything went black.
     Time lengthened, seconds felt like hours.  Exactly sixty of them.  Then I
could see again.  Ranma was sittting across the table from me, silently crying.
     I asked, "What's wrong? I didn't hurt you, did I?"  Ranma shook her head.
"Then what's the matter?"
     Ranma smiled, "You gave me something perfect, something that I could never
repay." Ranma bowed to me, "What did you want from me?"
     I started,'this wasn't supposed to happen, I just wanted to make her
happy'
out loud, "I despise seeing pain where there should be none.  It was my
pleasure."
     Ranma looked startled, "What would I have to give you to get more?" 
Though
she looked startled, she sounded very suspicious.
     I sighed, "That that worked is even a miracle, I am not sure that I could
do it again.  But should I manage to, would you consider training me in your
art?"  I was hopeful,'maybe I can get some lessons so that I can be able to
defend myself in school.  I hope I can do this again, for her, if not for the
lessons.'
     "How do I contact you for the lessons?  I don't know where you live."
     I thought about this,'If I tell her where I live, she might think I'm
crazy. I don't know.'  I thought about the staff again, but a small one, like a
wand.  suprisingly, one appeared in my hand.  Then I knew. I handed the wand to
Ranma, "Hold on to this, it is like a calling card for me.  Think of me, and I
will come.  I don't know how long it will take me to get to where you are, but
I
will come."  Ranma looked suprised, then took the wand.
     "What else can this do? Will it turn me into a frog?"  I shook my head.
"Then it just does what you said?" I nodded, "how long will it last?"
     I shrugged, "I don't know.  this is my first day being able to do ANY
magic, so anything I do will probably not last long.  I don't know if I can
even
get home."
     "Where do you live? I didn't see you here before."
     "You wouldn't have, I live in Canada.  Don't look so suprised.  I barely
know how I even got here."  Now Ranma was _really_ startled, "Yes, I see, you
want to know how I got here?  Last place I was at was Jusnkyou.  I had that
staff I just used up, and I created a doorway to here.  Other than that, I
don't
know."
     Ranma's voice was barely a whisper, "You don't know how you even got here?
What will you do if you can't get home?"
     I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know.  I'll cross that bridge if I get
to
it.  It's hard being a girl all the time now, right?" Ranma nodded,"I hope you
can find a cure for yourself."
     "I hope so, too.  Well, I Have to go, It's time to go home.  I'll see you
at dawn, tomorrow, okay?"
     I think for a second, 'Well, If I can find out how long until tomorrow
dawn, then I can be here at the right time.' I nod.
     Ranma gets up, "I assume you know my name, but I'll tell you anyways.  My
name is Ranma Saotome.  What's yours?"
     I think, 'What harm in a name? sure, ' out loud, I state, "My name is
Ishtay Mnangnara, pleased to meet you.  I hope we can be friends."
     Ranma nodded, "I hope we can be friends, too."  Ranma got up from the
table, and headed towards the women's dorm.  I sighed.  In my mind I formed the
staff, one last time, and pictured my home.  The gateway opened, and I stepped
through.  I was late for the bus, but it didn't matter.  I was going to meet
Ranma in a few hours, better to get some sleep. I never even looked at the
clock. I didn't even know how long I was gone. I missed the calendar, as well.
Better, in some ways that I had.  It was going to be a _LONG_ night.
