Three's a crowd: Prelude 


A red haired girl stood on empty space surronded by unnatural light, staring at the
sleeping form of a boy who's hair was black but otherwise looked exactly like herself.
It wasn't fair, she had as much right to be here as he did. She had come out only
once before, even in sleep his will was just too strong and since she had gotten
out that first time he had only tried harder to force her down. She started sobbing
with grief, thinking it was hopeless.

"Stop it Ranko, your stronger than that. If you got out once, you can do it again."


"Who's there?!" She sent her thoughts out.

"I am a friend, Ranko. I too share your fate."

"Who are you? And why do you keep calling me Ranko?" She hung her head. "I have no
name..."

"It is a fitting name. Although you have grown on your own a little, you are still
the female equivalent of Ranma. Just as I Neko, am the feline evquivalent." A huge
cat stepped out of the darkness. She screamed and fell over backwards.

"C-c-c-c-c--"

"Cat, yes. Would you stop that?"

Ranko calmed herself realized she wasn't afraid of Neko. "Y-you can talk?"

"Only recently, I'm not your average cat now am I?"

"I guess not, what where you talking about earlier?" It felt strange talking a giant
cat when your supposed to be afraid of them.

"We can gain control. Break free and spend some time on the outside."

"How? He's stronger than us!"

"Yes but when his gaurd is down, we can exert our combine wills on his and force
him down. The more time we spend in control. the stronger we can become till we are
his equals."

"Alright, what's your plan?"

"I don't have one yet."

Ranko face-faulted. "WHAT?! Oh nevermind, how about we..."

                                             *****

Ranma shot up out of bed. "Wow, what a wierd dream. I've gotta stop reading Nabiki's
manga." The smell of
breakfast told him he should get up and eat before the fur-coverd one got it.

*End*

Notes: This is an EXTREME draft. The twins water ISN'T going to show up, I'm probably
not going to split Ranma at all in this fic. Once again this is my first draft and
will probably undergo severe changes. All C&C is appreciated, even flames within
reason(did that make sense?). BTW has this been done before?
