"Let's see... my ankle's messed up... I feel like I crashed through a roof, heck, there were wood splinters around me when I came to... I don't know where I am... I think I'm perfectly fine," the martial artist said dryly. "I'm Ranma Saotome, sorry 'bout this..."
"No need for sarcasm," the woman replied with a slight frown, "My name's Sango, by the way," she added.
Ranma nodded to that and sighed. "I wasn't tryin' ta be sarcastic, Sango-san," he replied with a slight smile, "although, I think I need help getting to a hospital to have them look at my ...ankle..." The dark-haired boy trailed off, finally noticing that the surrounding area was forested.
Sango could only blink in confusion, "A ...hospital?" She asked as she looked over the young man she'd just helped out of the well. His strange red haori (or was it?) was torn in a few places, but otherwise seemed to be holding together. His black hair was pulled into a braid behind his head.
"A place where I can get my ankle looked at," Ranma offered when seeing the brunette's confusion about the word 'hospital'. A slightly awkward silence followed.
"Do you mean a healer?" Asked Sango, staring at the stranger in confusion.
Ranma nodded, "Pretty much, yeah," he replied with a nod.
The Yōkai Taijiya nodded back. "There should be one in the nearest village, about an hour's walk from here," she answered.
The martial artist could only sigh at that. Normally, he'd just roof-hop to his destination. Normally, his ankle didn't scream at him for using it. "I wonder what happened to the shrine that was built around that well..." Ranma whispered to himself, not seeing any signs of the city of Tokyo around.
"It could have been destroyed," Sango offered.
"Along with an entire city?" Ranma questioned, "I've seen some strange things, but I'm pretty sure a city can't be destroyed in a matter of minutes and be replaced by a fully grown forest," he said, "And there was definitely a shrine here," he continued, pulling a shard of wood from his pants and showing it to the confused woman., while:
