I just love AOL's mail program...sorry, rgorman!

	This is more of a bunch of plotless wanderings then a fic, documenting the
encounters of one made up character with characters from Ranma 1/2.
	Some of these will probably be on the sick side...

	All characters used here (other then Iris) belong to somebody else - don't
sue me, I'm broke.

	Lost Chances
	Chapter one: Ryoga Hibiki

	I should introduce myself.  I'm called Iris, and I work as a messenger for
the kami-sama and other supernatural beings.  (Thought I have to argue 
	I suppose I got my job because, after leaving heaven - I was going crazy from
boredom - I went to hell.  Okay, so normally I just be considered weird and
that would be the end of that.  But for some reason, Satan started running
screaming from me every time he spotted me.  I don't know why - maybe it was
something I said?
	Well, it goes without saying that I got kicked out of hell.
	Because I was, technically, dead, I couldn't very well return to Earth.
(Thought Satan did say, according to Kami-sama, that it's a shame I didn't
make the minimal requirements for a haunt...)  So I got stuck carrying
messages and packages - Quantum Weather Butterflies, Heavy-objects-that-float-
ominously-in-the-air, Monkey's Paws -  you name it, I'll carry it.
	Today I am to deliver a perfect sense of direction to a mortal named Ryoga
Hibiki.

	I looked around.  I was on a rather nice mountain on Earth.  According to
Kami-sama, Ryoga should be somewhere in this area...I decided to ask the nice
looking boy I saw nearby if he knew where I could find Ryoga Hibiki.
	"Hello, sir.  Could you tell me where I can find Ryoga Hibiki?"
	[Huh?]
	I sighed.  I should have guessed that there's be nothing in that head.  I
mean, yellow and black bandannas?  Talk about fashion victims...

	Ryoga Hibiki watched as the strange girl walked away, wondering what she had
asked him.
	A while after she had vanished from sight, Ryoga got up and headed the other
way, in hopes of finding the Tendo dojo...
