This is a piece of fan fiction.  Some characters have been borrowed
from copywriten publications with out permission of either the
authors, or the publishers.  This is meant as a form of flattery
towards the authors of those characters and is not to be used as a
means of capitol gain.  I am in debt well past my ears to the
Department of Education, and they they are not getting any thing from
me.  So I realy have nothing more to loose, and currently think that
time in a "Correctional Facility" will possibly be an improvement in
my current lifestyle.  I realy have nothing to lose by doing this.

Prologue part 2. "Good hunting, Brother Khat"
=^oo^=
     I wake up, stretch, get out of bed, and stretch some more.
I walk to the kitchen in the apartment to raid the 'fridge.  Selecting
a piece of chicken and a quart of milk, I then move to the table.
Today is going to be a big day for me, as I'm about to go on what
could be a verry long journey.
     It all started about a year ago on my 16th birthday, the day
my world died and my life changed for ever.  To summarise what
happened, after my birthday party, WWIII got declared, and I saved/
got saved by a cat, with me ending up in that dimension where cats
disappear to when the want to confus a human or a dog.
     Over the last year I have learned what I unofficialy call the
Way of the Cat.  Aside from certian philosophical views this has
taught me a few neat abilities,  and some very basic self defense
skills.  It also taught me the ability to talk to cats.
     Today however I have to leave cat-space, and goto one of many
human dimensions, and complete my "human" education.  To prepare for
this, Twiddle, my mentor, brought me a stack of comic books.  This
is because in order to *travel* dimensions you have to have a clear
Idea of your destination.  It turns out that one dimensions fictional
media is another dimensions reality.
     The Dimension I'm about to *travel* to is based on
Rumiko Takahashi's Ranma 1/2 series.  Among other things I'm supposed
learn while I'm going to School is some form of Martial Arts.
     Cassandra, has been teaching me the languages that I might be
dealing with, Nihongo, Mandarin, Cantonese, and something she calls
Amazonti.  She also gave me a large leather bound book entitled
The Indexed Laws of All Amazon Tribes, and a pendant.
     Zindle the Healer, gave me a collar with a bell attached.
     I load my pack up with everything I need, and *jump* to the
Journey Point.  The Journey Point is the place where all cats are
suposed to start and end their adventures.  This is to give one a
chance to say "goodbye" to friends and mentors.  It also announces
you by name when you return.
     As I arive at Journey Point, I see that Twiddle, Cassandra, and
Zindle, are waiting for me, along with an old grey queen.  I rub
cheeks with my friends, and they introduce me to Councilor Tsallis.
     "So, Councilor, Has the council decided what to do about me?" I
asked.
     "Khat, The Council has observed you over the past year." The aged
cat began, "We have watched your actions, and observed your emotions.
We have seen you socialize with those not of your species.  In every
interaction, though you have made enemies as well as friends, you have
treated every one you have met with the respect you feel that you,
yourself feel that you deserve.  You listen to the advice of your
friends, and hear out the complaints of those that would do you harm.
Despite all this you go and do things your own way." She paused for
a breath,
     "We of the Council Feline find that, despite being born and
raised human, your attitudes worthy of being a cat.  In recognition
of those attitudes, We hereby declare you to be a feline in spirit.
     "In your forthcoming adventures, may you be alert, and always
hold your tail high with pride.  I personaly wish you, Good hunting."
With a nod of her head, Tsallis rubbed her cheeks against mine, and
stepped back."
     Twiddle, came up behind me and said
     "Final test, Brother Khat.  All you have to do now is open the
path to your destination, and you will have passed the expectations
of most of your teachers."
     "I can do that." I said and opened the pathway.
     "We'll share a bottle of cream when I return to tell my tale."
I stepped toward the hole that hung unsupported in the air.
     My friends raised their hands in farewell and together called
     "Good Hunting, brother Khat!"
=^oo^=
<====================================================================>
Well that ends the prologue, to the Way of the Khat.  Chapter 1
will be dealing with my arrival to Nerima, and my first meeting with
Ranma and Co..
Again I'm asking for your comments and criticism.  Also I'm going to
ask you, who do you think I should meet up with first?
I am going to try to keep a copy of all my prievious parts, I do plan
to send this to the R.A.A.C once chapter 1 is complete.
If somebody wants to put this on a web page some where, go ahead.
Just tell If you, do and where you put it.
<====================================================================>
Name: Khat                  Race: Human (Caucasion American)
Height: 188cm. Weight: 100Kg
Hair color: Red-Brown  Eye color:right eye blue, left eye yellow.
Martial Arts:  Nekko-Do: (Way of Cat) 1st dan equivalant.
Disposition:  Khat is one of the few people that actualy treats others
with respect despite their station in life or the way they treat him.
In any sort of group Khat, takes the act of the wise fool.  His sense
of justice is such that if someone does make Khat angry, he will back
back away from an immediate confrontation if at all possible. This is
not because he is a coward, but because he prefers not to fight in
anger.  Khat also has a love of practical jokes, this gets him into
trouble from time to time, but when confronted about one he will
appologise sincerly, but will not promise to not try another.
Abilities: Khat is just beginning to learn about Ki and as yet have
no major Ki powers other than the general enhancements in strength,
and durability.  He does have an ability to *jump* to any where he has
been.  This is a result of his training in the Nekko-Do as he calls
it. Khat is also extremly flexible and very agile.
