Coughing a little, Sheila said, “I am Sheila Silvear. Do you know where in the Nine Hells I am?”
Ranma blinked. This girl spoke English. That wasn’t so bad. He could speak some English himself. He had some experience with the language since his old man dragged him to the States to meet a few martial arts masters. “I’m Saotome Ranma” Ranma said carefully. He wanted to make sure his pronunciation was correct.
“Ah. I see.” Sheila said. She looked a little nervous as she looked around. “Now, could you please tell me where I am?”
“You’re in Japan.” Ranma answered. “Specifically, Nerima. A district of Tokyo.”
Sheila sighed. She was on Earth it seemed. But she had no clue as to where this ‘Japan’ was. Earth Geography was not one of her strong points after all. “Just how far is it from here to Atlanta?”
“Atlanta?” Ranma asked.
“Atlanta, Georgia.” Sheila said. “I know some people who live there.” She explained.
“Uh, lady, that’s in the United States. That’s practically on the other side of the world!” Ranma explained.
Sheila groaned. “Seriously?”
“Seriously.” Ranma confirmed.
Growling to herself, Sheila turned and grabbed the unconscious Kitsune but her collar. She shook Mitsuko with a vengeance. “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!”
“Uh, excuse me...” Ranma spoke out a little.
Sheila stopped shaking Mitsuko; the Kitsune’s eyes were still swirls as her head fell back. Sheila turned to look over her shoulder at Ranma. “What is it?”
“If I may ask... Is that a real Kitsune?” Ranma spoke out inquiringly.
“Yes.” Sheila answered. She blinked. Humans usually weren’t that well aware of the supernatural. “Wait, how did you know that?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Ranma explained, “Long story.”
“Really? You’ll have to tell me sometime.” Sheila said as she dropped Mitsuko like a sack of potatoes.
“Maybe...” Ranma muttered. He looked around a bit; hoping no one he knew was seeing him talk to a huge woman with little clothing.
Sheila noticed Ranma’s uneasiness and arched an eyebrow. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Ranma said. “I just wish I could help you more.”
“Well, if it’s not too much...” Sheila began, “Do you have a place I can take Mitsuko? I don’t want to leave a Kitsune out in the open. Not sure how people will react.”
“Believe me Sheila. This is Nerima. NO ONE is gonna look twice.” Ranma said confidently.
Sheila looked at Ranma questioningly. “Are you serious?”
Ranma just nodded his head. “Very.”
Blinking her eyes, Sheila nodded her head. “All right. But I’d feel better if we got Mitsuko out of the open.”
