"Death. Sorry, I'm a bit early. I'll just wait until you've finished eating to get to work." A man with in a black trenchcoat that reached down to the floor and in business attire that showed his skeletal hands and skull with fire acting as hair that went down his back.
"Err why are you here?" Ranma asked.
"I have to collect a rather rare type of soul from an individual who's been wronged in a very, very gross manner. May I come in, it looks like it's about to rain and I prefer not to stand about with steam billowing around." Death explained and Kasumi nodded.
"Would you like some tea?" She asked a little tentatively.
"Oh yes please! With some cream and sugar if you'd be so kind." he replied and Kasumi nodded grateful for a chance to run.
"Are you here for the master?" Genma asked slowly.
"OH GENMA! Our long Adu suffering is at an end!" Soun said tears flowing.
"Excuse me." Death said.
"We can finally go about our days without fear or grief!" Genma said ecstatically.
"Pardon me." Death said.
"Then we can finally..."
"SHUT UP!!!" Death roared an aura of Ki so huge it was like staring into the sun erupting from him. "No it's not Happosai. The individual has received brutal treatment he has not deserved and I'm here to take him to his reward after life. Geeze!" He huffed before sitting down and ran his bony fingers over his skull leaving flesh and blood behind, dousing out the fire and leaving behind fire red hair. It was revealed death was of Irish decent.
"So you're Irish?" Nabiki asked raising an eyebrow.
"No Immortal, I just take this appearance because it fits the whole bone white bit with flaming hair. I could be a blue eyed blond if I wanted. This just fit." Death said with a shrug.
"If you're not here for the mister Happosai then who are you here for?" Kasumi asked handing death a cup of tea.
"Well thank you young lady, as for who I am here for it is for Ranma. You see if he eats that dish Akane placed in front of him it will have an immensely violent reaction upon hitting his stomach acid opening a temporary portal to the River Styx bloating him up until he explodes quite spectacularly. If he chooses not to eat it I follow him for roughly a year until his honeymoon with Akane where she murders him for an 'act of perversion'. My this is quite lovely Miss Tendo I'll have to get the recipe off you." Death said casually taking a sip of the hot tea.
"I-I'm gonna die?" Ranma asked.
"Oh don't be so surprised, due to your father's stupidity I've been watching you quite closely for most of your life. So it's just a matter of how much more you want to go through. I could simply take you right now, no hassle, no pain, no consequences. You can eat that dish resulting in an incredibly painful death, or you can wait until your fiance's sexual insecurities do you in. You're choice."
