Genma blinked, his wish wasn't fulfilled and he had no clue where he was. He sat down and fell asleep trying to think.
************************************************************************
Ranma was confused, the light had knocked him out and he was now staring at a blue skinned woman with pink cheeks across a campfire.
"Who are you?" he asked a little nervous.
"Hsien-Ko, weapons specialist and... I guess I'm kinda stuck with you." she said uncomfortably scratching her cheek with one of the huge metal claws.
"What? What happened to pops?" Ranma asked concerned.
"Damned if I know, all I do know is that you're my charge now so... nice to meetcha." she said.
"Nice to meetcha." Ranma echoed back and she grinned.
**********************************************************************
Genma screamed as he woke up, a local man had offered him a place to stay and he had fully intended to bum off the guy's generosity but now he had five heads biting into him. "What did I do to deserve this?!" he demanded running down the halls heads in hot pursuit and they were suddenly covered in script detailing his crimes.
**********************************************************************
Time was passing a lot faster on the actual world and five years had passed with Ranma being Hsien-Ko's son in all but blood, or ichor. She had taught him a huge amount on hidden weapons and his pure strength was now enough to tear trees out of the ground with ease. Ranma didn't even bother thinking about his 'snort' father anymore as his lessons with Hsien-Ko had taught him just how evil the man was. That and finding the seppeku contract, twelve separate arranged marriages and numerous stolen goods in his bag had definitely been convincing.
Currently he had used a bit of ki to keep an couple afterimages alive and hopefully throwing off his Sensei. All three of them converged from different directions with a scythe each and were just about to hit when their attacks were expertly parried and they were sent flying.
"Nice try kiddo, but only you make a real noise." she said confidently but was breathing a little hard. She may have trained him but this kid was freaking fast! His style was basically insane speed to dodge, with weapons to extend his reach and one hit kill his targets. He was also freaking amazing at simply pummeling people into submission.
"I know I'm working on a ki echo but it's not easy." Ranma said calmly as the scythe disappeared into another ki fold.
"Well enough sweating for now kiddo I'd say the stew's just about done." she said a little excited. The brat as she often called him brought out the best in her hands down. "Hey runt." she said and Ranma immediately knew what was coming next. "Think Fast!" she shouted hurling a spear out of her sleeve at him like a rocket.
A flick of the wrist and a kick later it was sailing back at her and she caught it nice and neat in a ki pocket. "You're getting better at that. Soon I'll teach you the trick to doing that to energy attacks." she said and Ranma cheered.
***********************************************************************
Genma had finally shaken the heads, apparently they didn't kike sunlight and was now walking in the forest alone. He heard some music and went to investigate hoping for some food when he came across a young woman playing a koto. "Ah good timing my friend. I was just about to play one of my own compositions." she said.
"Right... look lady is there any food around here?" Genma snarled he had been hoping for a house or a restaurant not some silly woman playing a koto!
"Oh a great deal actually and it'll be ready in a minute. If you stay and listen I'll share some with you." she offered and Genma heaved a sigh.
"Fiiine!" he said and sat opposite of her not really noticing when her fingers started to bleed and cover the koto strings in her blood. Nor the spider that bit him with a paralysis toxin that sent him gently to sleep.
