Ranma shook his head and proceded without further delay. After a
second in which Makiko could feel the spiritual energy coalesce about her
grandfather, Ranma thrust her fist up.
       "HIRYUU SHOTEN HA!"
       As the hurricane boomed into existence, Ranma leaped up and was
gone, flying inside the eye. The full body of it hung and twisted loudly
above, while the small, virtually harmless tip snaked around in the yard
then began to move in an easterly direction. The neighbour's fence rattled a
little as the vortex set off.
       "Maki-chan," the grandmother called, openning the door, "Oh, there
he goes. Such a convenient way to travel. Come in, its raining. Do you want
to eat the okonomiyaki now?"
       Makiko stepped into her slippers. "I'd like to save some for
Ojiisan. Its already cold, after all."

End

	My, an interesting trick.  And Ranma probably could pull something like 
that off after a few years.  It kinda reminds me of two things.  The way Thor 
in Marvel comics flew by throwing his hamer and catching the thong, and the 
ending of the Movie Tall Tale where Pecos Bill lassoed a tornado and rode it 
away.
