Kaito was bored out of his mind as he stared at the pools of water below.

"Augggghh! Why is everything so boring!" he said to no one as his legs dangled off the ledge of a cliff.

Kaito was a boy of 16 years old that stood at 5 feet 6 inches with light blond hair spiked in a downward direction and purple eyes. He wore white and black sneakers, black slacks, yellow t-shirt, and a black jacket with a black headband on his head.

Despite the normal appearance, Kaito was special, in the sense that a little over two months ago, he didn't even exist. Well technically speaking he had existed, just not in this world. That's right Kaito was in fact a dimensional traveler. Back in his original world Kaito was considered a genius by many, and with good reason.

From an early age Kaito was different from other kids, in the fact that things naturally came faster to him, so fast in fact that nothing had ever truly become a challenge to him. It seemed that everything he set his mind into learning he could. Math? Easy. Science? No problem. Languages? Already learned 12 by the age of 7. Cooking? He could compete with world chefs. Life had simple become too easy for Kaito, and with that came a startling realization. If he no challenge and he could become anything he wanted, then what was the point of trying at all.

Kaito at the age of 16 had grown bored of the world around him, nothing was interesting anymore. He had graduated high-school at the time, demeaning it a waste of time since they had nothing to teach him. Using his intelligence and knowledge of technology he had made and programed plenty of useful apps and games, which brought an easy income every month, meaning he had no need for a job. He moved out of the house and into a one-person apartment at the same time since he could take care of himself now.

He had closed off himself from the rest of the world, spending much of his time with the only thing that still interested him. An online friend had introduced him to the world of anime, so he spent countless hours just watching and reading various fictional works of art, letting them take away at least some of the boredom he felt. In a way, he had become what people called a NEET, not that he cared what they thought.

On the day of the incident, he had gone to a nearby anime convention in Tokyo. He had cosplayed as Sakamaki Izayoi from the anime [Problem Children are coming from Another World] since one of his online friend had commented how similar they both were. Truth be told he could relate to Izayoi since he too found the world too boring and would rather go to another world where he could be challenged. Seeing no reason to not go as him, he bought the costume, dyed his hair blond, and got purple contact lenses to complete the look.

He spent countless yen and hours going around the convention gather books, DVDs and other merchandise before finally heading home way past dark. He had safely arrived at his apartment, the only trouble was when a truck had gone off the road and hit a light post, narrowly missing him in the process. Kaito had then went off to fill the tub so that he could take a nice warm bath after such a long day, but just as he was almost done, the light had done off.

Thinking it was just a black out, he had searched under the sink for candles or at least a flashlight, but it had been too dark to tell. Feeling something wet he remembered that he had forgotten to turn the faucet off, and as he hastily tried to do so, he accidentally fell inside and knocked something inside the tub as well. Tragically it was then that the light had decided to come back, and the last image he saw was that of a still plugged in radio inside the tub with him give off sparks before he was electrocuted.

For some inexplicable reason, he was still alive but not everything was the same. Kaito woke up in a tropical jungle scared out of his mind. He tried to make sense of the entire thing but couldn't come up with anything.

The second shock, came when he discovered he had gained some supernatural powers, in fact they resembled exactly what he knew Izayoi to have in the anime. It took him a while to get used to his new superhuman strength, speed, and durability. It freaked him out a little bit, but after he killed a tiger in the jungle by throwing a rock with his super strength he was glad to have them.

Discovering his new powers had given him the excitement that he always wanted, he didn't question why he had them, just thanked that he did. However, that feeling was quickly losing its luster, until he felt bored of his abilities again. Another strange phenomenon was that his appearance had effectively changed into that of Izayoi, the blond hair and purple eyes had remained unchanged since his arrival.

Using his enhanced abilities, he could find a town. For some reason, he was in a remote part of China, worse was that he had traveled back in time to 1980. This hit him particularly hard since he had been hoping for a new adventure or at least a new world to explore, but he received neither. Worse yet was that the internet had yet to be invented, meaning that he could distract himself like he normally could.

For two months, he had explored China, beating up gangs and stealing their money, or looking for something interesting but he found nothing.

It was then as he was beating up another gang member that they had spilled the beans of a supposed magical spring, hidden in a remote part of China that was guarded by a tribe of warriors.

For the first time in weeks he found something that peeked his interest, so he was excited to see if the rumors were true.

When he arrived, he had been greeted by a pudgy Chinese man dressed in a green military inform and he was told about the spring that could apparently turn anything that got dunked inside into something else.

"Wait. So you are telling me that every single one of these springs had someone drown inside them. Don't you have sign or something to stop that," he asked the pudgy man.

He nodded back before pointed to a row of signs written in all types of languages, mostly 'Beware' or 'Danger'. "Ah, yes. We do, but visitors seam to just ignore them. A new spring is usually added every year. This year for example we have the Spring of Drowned Clown, it is a tragic tale of clown that drowned last week."

After he spent a couple of hours learning about the place and dunking a variety of small insects inside to see what kind of springs there were he bid his farewell, hoping to find the supposed Amazon village.

He searched for an hour before he gave up and decided to enjoy the sun.

"Come one, please let something happen. ... Maybe I should get a girlfriend? Never had any of those before, maybe it will be interesting," he sighed in misery. "I miss games. I miss music. I miss the internet. I miss anime. I miss por- porridge."

Just as he was closing his eyes, he heard a crash. Looking off into the distance he saw a beautiful redhaired girl with a pigtail, and dressed in a white Gi leap way from a some type of weapon that resembled a rattle. Then came a panda that caught up to the girl, a wooden sign board in one paw and a backpack in the other.

"I've never seen a panda run on two legs before. How ... interesting," Kaito said as he gained a devilish grin.

He leaped away from his location, grabbing his own bag, intent on following the cute girl and interesting panda.

This however was not to be because just as he was nearing them, another cute girl appeared. She had waist length purple hair tied with two buns on top, traditional Chinese clothing and was wielding one of those rattle weapons. Stopping in front of her, he looked her over once.

"Hey. You want to go out?" he said stating his intention from the start.

The petite girl just stopped to pick up her thrown weapon, glaring at him, "Get out of my way, stupid boy."

"Ouch. My first rejection. Oh well, can't win them all," Kaito said not bothered by the girl that was staring at him with annoyance. Looking at the direction of where the red-haired girl was heading he asked, "Hey, do you know which direction your cute friend was heading to."

"Pig-tailed girl is not my friend, she is enemy. Shampoo is to hunt down and kill girl. If you continue to waste my time, I will kill you," the girl declared as she pointed on of her rattles in his direction.

Kaito looked amused, "Well purple head, you are welcome to try?" He spread his arms wide open inviting her to take the first shot.

Shampoo growled at him, before sprinting at him and leaping into the air, she then brought her chui weapons with all the strength she got.

The blonde however had a small scowl of disappointment, he had thought that she could at least show him something new, but he saw every move she made as if it was in slow motion. Taking the hit his disappointment grew as he felt nothing from the attack.

From the shocked expression that the girl had she wasn't expecting that, and it was then that he moved. To him it was as if time had slowed to a crawl and he was just moving at regular speeds. Stepping back from the girl suspended in air, he lightly pushed her away with a soft shove to her mid-section. Then time returned and Shampoo was launched away from the blow like a ragdoll, tumbling and hitting the ground before skidding to a halt.

"Ah, shit," Kaito said as he looked at his hand, "Didn't think that she was that much weaker, ...or that I was that strong." Glancing at the direction of the redhaired girl he sighed, "I guess I'll just look for them later."

Walking to the purple haired girl, he say that she was passed out, she was littered with cuts and a palm shaped bruise starting to form on her stomach and the lower half of her shirt had been ripped to shreds. "So, Shampoo, I guess that I'll be visiting that Amazon village after all." He picked her up bridal style to not put pressure on her injury.

(Scene change)

"Cool I guess," the young man said as he looked at the village, getting directions from the guide, something that he should have done the first time.

Walking closer he saw a number of women in different styles of armor practicing with weapons or each other. There were a few men as well, but not as many as the women. It was then that one of the woman had spotted him she then turned away and sprinted to a nearby bell, sending a village wide alert.

More Amazons started to pour out of the village, all armed with a variety of weapons, as he almost made it to the entrance, with Shampoo still in his arms.

A woman with green hair in two buns stepped forward, brandishing a spear that she pointed at him. "You male, what are you doing with sister Shampoo!?"

'Oh, looks like she is more important than I thought. Still, I shouldn't waste so much time here, my prey is escaping right now.' "I don't want any trouble, just came to drop her off," he said with a smug smile.

"Put her down and step away," she growled back.

He did as he was told and laid her on the ground as gently as he could, then he walked some distance away. The Amazon signaled to two other women and they ran to Shampoo before collecting her and running into the village.

With that there was a strange standoff, Kaito standing on one side of the plane and thirty Amazons on the other. Slowly tension began to increase, Kaito felt the bubbling excitement of an upcoming fight, he clenched and unclenched his hands into fists.

Just as it looked like Kaito was going to make the first move, the woman that had been speaking lowered her weapon, the rest doing the same. "You have done us a great favor by bringing sister Shampoo back to us. For that accept our thanks," she said as they all put on a fist inside of the other hand and gave a bow of respect.

Disappointed at not being able to fight, he lazily returned the gesture. Seeing that anything of interest was over he turned his back to them and began to walk away.

Once he was inside the jungle forest again he turned to a large tree, and punched it, launching it deeper into the forest.

"My how interesting sonnie," an aged voice said as a shriveled old woman dressed in a green dress and large eyes landed on the ground from the tree she had been hiding at.

Looking over at her Kaito concluded that she couldn't be much bigger than a foot and a half, but there was a presence to her that told him that she was strong. "I noticed you observing me as soon as I arrived in your village. Was there something you needed?"

Cologne looked at him once more before speaking, "I wish to thank you for bringing back my Great grand-daughter back too me."

"It was no problem. There was something that I was wonder however," he said to the old woman.

"Oh, and what is that?" she said curiously, holding her large wooden staff closer to her.

"When I saw, Shampoo was it, I saw her chasseing a redhaired girl and a panda. What can you tell me about them?" Kaito figured it was a good time to find out more about the girl.

"Ah yes, the pig-tailed girl and her pet panda. Recently there was a village wide tournament to see who was the strongest among the still unmarried girls. She and her panda sneaked in during the village during the final round and ate the banquet that was supposed to act as the prize for the winner. Shampoo was the winner and the redhaired girl challenged her to a match, which the outsider won. Amazon law stats that if a female from outside the village was to defeat an Amazon, then they would receive the Kiss of Death, the Amazon in question would be tasked to kill her before she was allowed to return or face punishment."

The grin on Kaito returned, 'So that girl was strong, and it seems that she gets into interesting situations.'

"Thank you for the information," he said as he began to walk past her, but just as he neared her he jumped a six feet in the air, avoiding the fast moving leg-swipe. Still in the air he saw the old woman leap at him and swung her wooden staff at speeds that he could barely track. Grinning to himself he threw a punch meeting the attack head on. The collision between the two attacks was like a bomb had set off, the wind generated between the attacks crushed anything around the two and pushed them back several feet away. The wooden staff had exploded into splitters upon contact.

Skidding to a stop they scanned each other before they grinned to each other.

"Well sonnie, it seems that I was right. You were the one to defeat Shampoo, weren't you?" Cologne questioned him getting into a more relaxed position, before magically pulling out an identical staff from the hidden folds in her sleeves.

'What? No more fighting? I starting to get blue balled over here?' "Well damn Granny, you're pretty strong. I guess the hand print was the first clue huh? Tell her I apologize but she was the one to attack first," he hoped to continue the fight but by the looks of things that was not what she had in mind.

"Hahaha

I'll be sure to tell her. But first let me tell you something Sonnie. I already told you what happens if an outside female defeats an Amazon, but not what happens if an outside male were to defeat an Amazon," she said with a warm smile, and just like that Kaito's fight boner was gone.

Putting his hands in his pockets in a more carefree manner he answered, "I'm guessing by the fact that they are separate, that they don't receive the 'Kiss of Death'."

"You're a smart one, but yes. They instead receive the Kiss of Marriage, Amazon law states that they are to bring that man into the tribe, as a way to further strength it," she finished and looked at his reaction.

He didn't disappoint her as he started to chuckle before bursting into a full belly laugh. "Hahaha finally! Things are finally starting to become interesting again. What's your name? My name is Shoto."

"My name is Cologne, Elder of the Chinese Amazons. You my future son-in-law are taking things rather well," she commented.

"Nope, I'm not your son-in-law yet. You said it yourself, she has to give me the Kiss of Marriage first and now that I'm aware she will have a harder time doing it," he said smugly, showing that he had caught the loophole in her statement.

"Perhaps, but you should know that Amazons tend to be rather stubborn," Cologne said back.

Kaito had nothing against a beautiful girl trying to win his affection but...

"Then I suggest you train her better," he said and made to walk away but just as he sensed something being thrown at him. Turning around he caught a paper scroll, and then a bright flash happened. Looking at the old woman he saw her put away a camera into her sleeves.

"What? Shampoo needs a picture to see what her future husband looks like. Now take that scroll as my way of welcoming you to the family. Goodbye son-in-law," Cologne said as she jumped to the tree tops and back to the village.

"Family huh? How ... interesting."

Looking at the title of the scroll it said 'Hidden Weapons Technique', he tucked it into his bag for later study, he needed to find a panda after all.

(Scene Change)

Ranma knew that she should have just left his stupid old man back in the jungle, because of him they had been lost for the past hour and they had no way of knowing where was the closest town.

For the past couple of days, she had been chased by the crazy purple haired girl. It wasn't her fault that she had eaten the food, there was no one guarding it or signs saying not to.

Thankfully they had lost her a couple of hours ago.

Glancing at their dirty and rugged forms she hoped that they could at least find someone to point them in the right direction. It was just as she thought this that a voice called out to them.

"Hey you! Girl with the pig-tails go on a date with me!"

Ranma was shocked, that had not been what she had been expecting from her first interaction with another person. Turning around she was greeted with the image of a blonde-haired boy with purple eyes, around the same age and height as her male half. He wore strange clothing and a headband on his spikey hair. He just stood a few feet away from them with a huge grin on his face, but all she could think of was how he had gotten so close without them noticing.

"...I not a girl, I'm a guy," she said in a grouchy voice, not happy about being asked by another guy.

The strange boy looked at her more closely, creeping out Ranma a bit when he got to her new 'addition', before speaking again, " ... You mean like transgender?"

"What? I don't know what that means but I'm a male" she said hoping to end the entire thing.

"Oh, do you mean that you fell into one of the cursed springs?" he said suddenly, shocking her a bit that he understood that so fast.

"Yeah, me and my Pops, were training there before we fell into different springs. I fell into the Spring of Drowned Girl, and he fell into the Spring of Drowned Panda," Ranma finished as she pointed to the upright bear eating bamboo.

"I see, my name is Kaito. ...So, was that a no to the date?" the now named blonde said, not entirely bothered by the fact, only smiling a bit more, which sent shivers down Ranma's spine.

"No!" she exclaimed, the idea of doing that with a man enough to turn her green.

"No to the date, or no to the question?" he said as he walked closer to them.

"To both!" she shouted at him, having to look up since she was only 4'11" and he towered over her at 5'6".

"Ah, a shame, you look so cute when you get angry," he finished by giving her a smile.

She responded by throwing a fast punch at his stomach.

Kaito didn't bother stopping her, and for good reason because Ranma felt as if she had punched a solid block of steal.

Grabbing the fist still connected to his stomach he prides it open before adding his own hand, creating a handshake. "Nice to meet you," he said in a smug tone, "So what do I call you my gender confused friend."

Ranma was shocked that he took the blow unflinching, something that her father couldn't even do. "Ranma," she said absentminded.

"So Ranma, you on and the panda are on a training trip. You don't mind if I tag, along right?" Ranma said to the still confused martial artist.

"Wha-"

"Great!" He brought new friend into a one-armed hug, something more difficult considering their height differences.

"You and me, Ranma. I feel that things are going to get more interesting," he stated as he began to drag the struggling girl to the nearest town. Genma only looked confused by the whole thing.

Tell me your thoughts.
