This is my first attempt at a fan fic. C&C Needed. I love
fanfics.  I am thouroghly addicted but I noticed in all the fan-fics out
thier when Ranma gets sent out of Takahashi's world he's generally alone
or with Akane and/or Ryoga.  I wanted to try a different person who would
add some of the same friction but not quite.

		Ranma was practicing on the Tendo wall.  He did this ever
once in a while to practice his balance.  He'd jump on the wall and go
through a kata or two.  He developed them specifically for fighting on a
wall or ledge.  He figured it help his balance even more than just walking
on a fence normally did, and one or more of the moves just might come in
handy.  This was also an ideal time to train with, the two old men out,
getting drunk no doubt, Akane and Nabiki were with friends, and Kasumi was
inside the house doing whatever it was Kasumi did.  Whenever his pops was
around he always had to add his two cents in which were becoming more and
more useless and Akane usually chose to pick a fight or ask to spar.  He
was just about to finish when he saw Nabiki coming up the walkway.  His
first urge was too go hide.  He would never call it hiding but he was
really uncomfortable around Nabiki.  He would never admit to anyone, and
he rarely acknowledged it himself, but she made him feel stupid and even a
little inconsequential.  Not that he cared what she though it just that
she always had a comment ready to belittle him and it got to him.  It
wasn't the arguing he did with Akane or his pop, or even the pre-duel
insults he exchanged with Ryoga.  He felt in those encounters, he gave as
good as he got, but with Nabiki he just couldn't find anything too
verbally assault her with.  She just didn't care about her shortcomings
enough to show a response or she would find a way to justify her actions
by blaming him or his father, which he really couldn't fight. 
		He was about to jump down from the fence when he saw a
shimmer behind Nabiki that soon grew to be a ten feet tall by ten feet
blackness.  Right after it formed men started rushing from it.   They were
short men but looked well built.  They wore colorful armor that looked
like something out of a Magna or Anime.  He saw Nabiki turn around
surprised as the first men got to her.  "Nabiki!"  As he yelled he bolted
from his perch, but was too late.  The Man raised his sword to strike but
instead of a slash he feared, he hit her over the head with the pommel.
The other two rushed past towards Ranma as he rushed to engage.  He took
his eyes off Nabiki as he quickly dispatched his two assailants.  When he
looked back, another six men had come through the hole in the air along
with a strange man in a black robe.  He saw the first man carrying Nabiki
back through the hole before disappearing.  Ranma swore to himself before
acting, he did a quick kick to the knee of his closet opponent before
vaulting over the next.  He landed in front of the black robed goon,
feeling he was probable someone important, he gave a quick kidney punch
then threw him into two other goons before leaping through the hole.  He
felt a slight disturbance in his body similar but not quite the same as
when he would change as he went through the hole.
			He was then through the gate and did a quick flip
before landing.  He found himself in a large meadow, close to what
appeared to be a campsite.  There were about fifty men Waiting to go
through.  He didn't hesitate as he took down five of the startled soldiers
when he spotted the soldier carrying Nabiki towards the campsite.  He
immediately started to give chase only to find his danger sense go off as
he dived to the side. He turned and saw the black robed man hold his arm
out and another fireball came at him.  He dodged once again and started to
power up a chi blast.  Seeing the black robe muttering something he fired
it off a little quicker than he wanted to.  The blast was smaller than the
ones he had been peppering at Ryoga, but it was enough to take the black
robe out of commission. "They're not so tough."   It was then that he
noticed the two other men in black robes standing at either side of the
gate.  He was getting ready for another chi blast when a wishing sound
gave him enough warning to avoid is decapitated.  He quickly had his hands
full as the soldiers started converging on him.  After the first 8 or so
he saw they were becoming wary of him.  He took stock and wondered if he
was in good enough shape to take care of all of them.  He wasn't really
tired only a little winded, especially after that chi blast.  The
beginning of a plan was forming.  He leaped over a soldier to gauge the
distance to Nabiki and was happy to see it was a good fifty meters and
growing.  The soldiers didn't give off much in the way of a battle aura
that he could detect so he looked at the black robes.  He was wondering
why they hadn't attacked him yet.  He had heard them yelling, but they had
yet to move from where they stood.  He again leaped into the air using the
soldiers as step stool and landed in front of one of the black robes.  He
looked tired and startled for a second.  He barked out something in that
strange language they were using.  He was no linguist but he was sure it
wasn't Chinese or English.  Ranma heard something shouted as he began to
circle the Black Robe.  He quickly avoided a fireball and was ready when
the second one came.  "HIRYU SHOTEN HA!"  The magic in the air was more
than enough for the move.  In fact it looked to be his most powerful yet.
He looked up to see all three of the black robes and what looked to be a
large chunk of the soldiers spinning in the tornado.  When the winds
subsided he was pleased to note it had took out all his adversaries except
the one carrying Nabiki.  He hurried towards her.   By the time he got
there the soldier had put her down and was in a ready position.  "Let her
go."  The soldier just looked confused.  "I guess will have to do this the
hard way."  The hard way took about two seconds.  "Fah, Kuno could take
these guys in a second."  He knelt next to Nabiki and looked at her head.
She had a bump and small cut that should heal nicely.  He took a moment to
catch his breath before he tried waking her up.  When she didn't respond,
he check her breathing and after being satisfied her breathing was fine,
he picked her up in his arms and turned to go back.  "Shit."  He sank to
his knees when he saw that the gate was gone.
