It began, as most things do, with a single thought, a small twist of
destiny. Reality is a gossamer thread that most people never realize
it existed. it spreads itself out into infinity like the strands of a
spiders web, different realities suspended on the threads like morning
dew. in this infinite web there are Many earths, each depicting what
would have happened if destiny had taken a slightly different corse. it
is on one such earth our story starts. The people of this Earth often
bend reality around them, but then, they were mostly ignorant of what
they are doing. Alas that such ignorance did not free them from the
consequences. Reality, still rippling as a result of the cumulative
violations.........
IT'S A WARPED WEIRD WORLD
BY: BRYAN "SEPHIROTH" GOOING
CHAPTER:1
A bed held a figure that had no covers on it due to his lack of
sleep and tossing and turning that night. It was a handsome looking,
white haired young man. He is slightly above average seeming build,
almost cat like features. His eyes are closed and on his face is an
expression of peace. his long silvery-white hair <which normaly hangs in
a waist leanth braid and swept over one eye> flowws acrossed the pillow
and off the futon in a pail silvery pool. As you look downward you see
that he is wearing a black leather tanktop. He is also wearing a pair of
black leather pants <which shows that he didn't bother to even get
undressed for bed>. Blue-green eyes opened and the person sits up and
sleepily looks outside. It was a beautiful dawn Neko woke up to.
The sun was just emerging to lightin the sky a delightful blue with
a few wispy clouds occasionally dotting the artist's canvas of an
atmosphere. A day like this was rare. In fact...rare _anywhere_.
<Ah, _lovely_ day out.> Neko blinked sleep from his eyes as he
continued to look at the azure sky through the window. <I just gotta go
outside and enjoy it.>
Putting on some cloths, Neko went outside. stepping out the door he
stretches taking in the ambiance of the nice spring morning. Bending
down he picks up the paper and goes inside.
Suddenly, the room blurred briefly. <What the...?? I must be a
hell of a lot more hung over than I think I am if my vision's blurring!
"WHAT THE HEll?!!!"> Neko viewed a whirlpool of blurred images of his
room swirling around him. Then he was falling. <"Oh
sshhhiiiTTT!!!!!!!!" > Neko dropped down a kaleidoscopic tunnel of
pulsating color and light. Closing his eyes didn't help he could feel
himself moving at a very high rate of speed. He opened his eyes again
and he could see a distant black speck amidst the color that seemed to
be growing as he got closer. then it was over, he found himself
floating through the infinite void of time and space.
As he looked around he could see the darkness ripple like soft
velvet in a gentle breeze. While he watched this something in the back
of his mind told him that there was something not right about this, but
before he could come to a conclusion he was sucked into another tunnel
of swirling color. Almost as soon as it had began it was over and Neko
found himself falling through the sky, lucky or unlucky for him
depending on your point of view there was a small pool of water under
him .....and ....splashdown!!....
"Mister customer you fall in Maonuri-nichan. Very tragic legend of
catgirl who drowned there 1,500 year ago. Now all who fall in spring
change into catgirl who drown there."
"Great, just what I needed." Neko muttered as he now a definite she
climbed out of the pool. "Is there any way to change back?"
"Miss customer, you need only use warm water to change back."
The man hands Neko a kettle full of warm water. "Thanx." Neko pours
it on herself and changes back. "Could you tell me where I am?"
"Sure mister customer, you are at the famous training grounds of
Jusenkyo."
Neko thanks the man again and heads of in some direction avoiding
any contact with any of the pools. Suddenly he is startled by a loud
splash and looks to see a small piglet swimming out of one of the Many
springs. When it reaches the shore he reaches down and picks it up.
"You probably want some hot water don't you?" The pig looks up and
looks a bit confused. "Here I'll show you and he sets the pig down
and fishes out the thermos of hot water he got form the Jusenkyo guide.
He unscrews the cap and pours the water on the pig and in it's place
stands a young human about his height wearing only a yellow and black
bandanna. The boy quickly gets a long stick and fishes out his gear
from the pool while I start a fire knowing that he'll need to dry his
cloths if he doesn't wanna change back. .....Later that day.
"so Ryouga I take it that this Ranma character pushed you into the
pool and ran out on a fight am I right?"
"That's right because of Saotome I've been through hell!!"
Neko just nods and says. "Well we best get some sleep if we're going
to have an early start in the morning."
......................................................................
"Ryouga are you sure you know where your going?"
:Ryouga gives me a dirty look and says; "Yes, the Tendo dojo is just
over the next hill."
"That's what you said the countries ago and I have no idea how the
hell we've managed to cross the ocean so Many times with out knowing
it."
Ryouga just shrugs and trudges onward without a word. Just as a
bilding bearing the sign *TENDO DOJO* comes in sight it starts raining.
Neko sighs and picks up Ryouga , his gear and heads toward the dojo.
Neko, knocks on the door and it opens showing a pretty brown haired
woman.
"May I help you?"
"Yes is this the Tendo Dojo?"
The woman smiles warmly. "Oh, my... why yes it is please do come
in. Father will be with you in a moment, may I get you anything?"
"Something to drink would be nice."
Kasumi gets her a glass of water. "I forgot to ask you your name."
neko looks up and says "it's Tsune Neko Mam."
Kasumi smiles. "I am Kasumi what's the piggy's name?"
"I dunno, I found him wandering around outside and thought i'd take
care of him for a while. Why?"
At this point Akane and Ranma inter the room. Ranma takes one look
at Neko and runs off screaming
"c-c-c-c-c-caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Akane just mutters "baka!"
She looks over to the guest and say's "Sorry about that."
Kasumi looks to Akane and says " could you go get father I think he's
with Saotome-san playing shogi."
"hai, oniichan." Akane leaves and soon a middle aged man with long
dark hair comes in. The man bows and says "I am Soun Tendo master of
this dojo. My daughter informs me that you wish to speak with me?"
Neko bows "Yes, sir I wish to train here and am able to pay for my
training, and also room and bored." <not like i can do much else till i
figure out how i got here in the first place>.
"You are indeed welcome here for as long as you feel you need to
train. We hadn't had any paying costumers for a long time."
Kasumi turns to Akane and says "Why don't you show our guest to her
room and help her settle in dinner will be ready shortly." Akane nods
and leads Neko up the stairs and to Happosai's old room.
"Sorry about some of the things you will find in here but the old
occupant was a perverted marital arts master who trained father and
Saotome-san in the art."
Kamui smiles "That's ok, cleaning it out will give me something to
till dinner time." Akane nods and leaves. Neko sets the pig on the
desk and starts sorting through the dirty magazines blushing profusely
as she piles them in boxes to be taken elsewhere. P-chan glances at one
and faint a small trickle of blood coming from his nose. Soon she has
most of the old perverts stuff boxed and stored in the closet.
While putting some stuff in the desk she finds a small ornate silver
mirror and sets it to the side. Neko smiles as she here's kasumi call
saying that dinner was ready. After a wonderful <kasumi cooked>dinner
<which was only disrupted when Ranma smarted off saying how Akane
couldn't cook and got punted into the pond>she heads to her room.
Sitting at her desk with p-chan watching from where he was on her bed
she starts writing in her diary.........
<voice over>
Dear diary,
I arrived at the Tendo's today. They do not suspect anything out
of the ordinary which is strange as everyone who has seen me has gone to
great lengths to avoid me. It's nice though, after months on the road
with Ryouga and the Tendos seem nice enough especially that kasumi.
Well looks like time for bed.
Neko
<konya wa hurricane plays as we watch our hero/heroen fall asleep.>
Dear diary,
It's been about three weeks since I came to the Tendos. They
now know of my curse, but not of Ryouga's. I'm not about to say any
thing about it ether. Well today things were kind of weird, this new
restraunt opened up accrossed from the bar I started working at. It's
run by an old woman and her daughter (a real carpenters delight from
what I've been told, but personally I think she's a doughnut-bumper).
The daughter's name is Shian-pu though most people around here
pronounce it as Shampoo. I see her from time to time making deliveries
and glomping onto Ranma every chance she gets, not caring wether or not
he's male or female... poor guy.... Mr.Tendo has been training me with
an intence vigur which though it is tough, it's still not as tough as my
training with Ryouga. I've been training mostly in my cursed form cause
it give's me the slight edge I need to go up againced Akane. My music
has gained in popularaty <since winning a kareoke compatition>, which
led to me being invited as the guest of honor at last weeks anthrocon.
Well diary tomorrow's another day. Till then I'll be hoping things
don't get worse.
Neko
The next morning I awoke to the sounds of normality (well what
passes for normal around here anyway, ) Ranma and Genma at there morning
workout. Heading down stairs I pass Akane on her way to take her
morning jog.
"Morning Neko, Kasumi's almost got breakfast ready."
Smiling I thank her and head on down to the kitchen. Bowing as I
enter the kitchen I say hello to Kasumi, Nabiki, and Mr. Tendo.
Looking to Mr. Tendo I ask him if it would be possible to skip practice
for the day as I had gotten the day off from work and there was things I
was wanting to do. He pauses to think for a moment and nods.
"Yes, I suppose you may, after all I have been training you hard
lately. You've really suprized me by learning as fast as you have and
that your now about Akane's level." <Heh, it suprzed me a lot.but then
in my cursed form I seem to be faster and stronger than normal. So that
might have helped along with the 6 months of constant training on the
road with Ryouga>
It's about this time that Kasumi calls "Breakfast is ready!!!" and
we hear a splash from out at the pond. Ranma and Genma-panda enter
Genma with a sign reading >< Hot water please.><
After a wonderful _Kasumi cooked_ breakfast ( after trying some of
Akane cooking I quickly came to appreciate why Kasumi does all the
cooking) Akane asks me " So Kamui what do you have planed for to day?"
" Well, I thought about seeing what your school was like then mabey
seeing some more of the city."
"That is great Neko, you do tend to stay near the dojo and where you
work, hardly ever doing anything."
Soon we leave me and Nabiki following a short ways behind Ranma and
Akane. "So Nabiki what can I" �.SPLASH�..sputter�. "Merooowl!"
Looking up I see an old woman watering her plants. She doesn't seem
to have noticed that she missed the planter-box and splashed me. I look
back to Nabiki who shrugs. <Apparently this kind of thing happens to
Ranma all the time.> "Any place around here where I can get some warm
water?"
"No but I should be able to find you some at school."
When we finally reach the school gates I see something that really
suprizes me, Ranma and Akane are attacked by a mob of boys. The battle
lasts for less than a minute, then this guy wearing a kendo outfit
sans armor comes up saying "What a boorish lot." He then sees Ranma and
yells; "Saotome, you foul sorcerer prepare to meet thy doom, for I Kunou
Tatawaki, age 17, rising kendo star of Furinkin high, shall put and end
to your existence and free the beauteous Akane and free my pig tailed
goddess!!!!"
While Kunou continues to rant and rave I turn to Nabiki. "Long winded
isn't he." Nabiki nods.
While Ranma just yawns and punts Kunou in the direction of the nurses
office. We hear the bell ring and Ranma, Akane, and Nabiki head off
toward class. I walk to the Principal's office to get a visitor's pass.
+later+
I get to Ranma and akane's class with my pass in hand just
before class starts. Standing at the head of the class with me is a guy
with long brown hair, a dark blue outfit, and wearing a spatula the size
of a Snow-shovel on his back. As we stand by the teacher's desk, the
teacher (who looks to be about 12) introduces us. "OK, class we have a
new student and a visitor today."
She points to the guy. "This is Kunji Ukyou, who is moving
here from Osaka, he is an okonomyaki chief. And this." She points to
me. "Is Tsune Neko a catgirl as you can see and also a local singer as
some of you may have heard. Miss kunji you will be sitting next to Akane
and Miss Tsune you'll be next to Ranma." As I sit down by Ranma I can
feel the eyes of all the boys looking at me and drooling like the
fanboys from last weeks Anthrocon. *I hope Nabiki can get me that hot
water by lunch time.* ��������������������������������������
Finally it's lunch time and I meet up with Nabiki, Akane, Ranma, and
Ryouga (who managed to not stay lost for a whole week). The new guy
Ukyou (and I swear he looks to much like a girl to be a guy) was passing
out free okonomyaki and advertising his new restaurant. After we find a
place to sit down Nabiki turns to me and says; (just loud enough for all
the boys to hear and look my direction) "Here is that hot water you were
wanting Neko."
Glaring I take it "Thanks Nabsie, I can really use it."
Nabiki mock frowns and says; "that will be 500 yen, and don't call me
Nabsie!" Smirking I pay her and pour the water over my head and change
back. There is a pindrop silence and I can almost hear the hearts of
the perverted little fanboy wienies break and the shards come tinkling
to the ground. The rest of the school day was pretty much uneventful
(well, as uneventful as things get here in Nerma anyway). That night I
decide to go take in a movie, Bubble Gum Crisis, I believe it was
called. It was a fairly good movie for cyber punk. As I walk out the
door I feel dizzy and the ground drops out from under me. *Oh, shit
here we go again�.*
Once more I find myself travailing through space and time and
once more I find my self falling, only this time I land on cold
concrete. I stagger to my feet and inter the nearest building (a bar
with a sign reading Hot Legs) and head towards the bar hoping to find
out where I am. As I reach the bar I collapse and loose consciousness.
<fade to black with Konya Wa Hurricane as the camra pans back from
the uncontious figure.>
...Waking I a face over me that seems familure, but for the
moment I can't seem to place where I've seen it before. Looking down at
myself I see the body of a young woman. This in itself is normal, the
unusal thing is it's covered in dark red and tan furr. Looking up at
the woman who is examinning me and ask her, "where the bloody 'ell am I,
and what the 'ell happened?"
"Your in the back room of Hot Legs, you also had a nasty bump on
the head. We couldn't take you to a hospital for reasions that should
be plain to you. Now rest for awile and we'll talk later."
Nodding I close my eyes and fall asleep. Much later I woke up to the
call of nature, and so doing, I get out of bed and slowly find my way
to the bathroom. Along the way I hear the woman's voice.
"Priss, Nene, Linna�..what what we have here is a serious matter,
she's not a boomer the testing I did would have said as much if she
were. She's not human ether, her looks will tell you that. She's had a
nasty bump on her head so may have some amnesia, but I can't be shure.
Any idea what we should do with her?"
"She can stay with me till we can think of something." Piped up a
sugery sweet bubbly voice. Smiling I tune out the rest of the
conversation, finish doing my business and go back to bed. A few
minutes later the woman I had seen earlier comes in trailed by three
other women. A tall woman with black hair and dressed in a white and
black loose fitting shirt and a pair of black slacks, a tall woman with
reddish brown hair and wearing a red and blue motercycle outfit, and a
short redhead wearing a police uniform.
Seeing that I was awake she says, "It's good to see you awake, my
name is Sylia this is Nene, Priss, and Linna." She points in turn to
each who nod. "We were wondering what we would be doing with you, it's
obviouse that you'll have some truble interacting with the public as you
are, but Nene here says that she would be happy to have you stay with
her till you deside that you can handle being around a lot of people.
Now if you would, tell us some about your self."
"I can't remember much, just bits and peaces."
Sylia nods. "I was afraid of this. Ok, go on and tell us, what you
remember."
"I remeber my name is Neko� I think I'm 22 but I'm not shure, I could
be younger� heh I look it. Anyway, I also remember training with this
guy named Ryouga in martail arts for a few months. I also remember
variouse sights and national monuments such as the tokyo tower."
Sylia looks at me straingely and Nene says, "didn't the tokyo tower
get destroyed in that big quake we had about 10 years ago?"
Sylia nods. "I belive so Nene, but that would mean Neko is at least
30. Anyway continue Neko."
"I also remember staying at this place called the Tendo dojo, where I
continued my training. One night on the way home." Making an =^,^= ick
face. "I realy hate the rain and getting my furr wet. Anyway I was on
my way home from a movie when the ground seemed to fall out from under
me and the next thing I remember I was waking up here."
Sylia nods and leaves to check on some things. As soon as Sylia is
gone Nene and Linna bombard me with questions. Priss quickly brings
their questions to a screaching halt. "shut the hell up!" she looks
around and contenues. "Neko is tiered we will all get a chance to ask
her our questions. We don't need to wear her out before we can get our
answers. Now Neko do you rember doing annything that might help to find
you a job or something here?"
"Well�.. I think I was a singer of some sort, singing mostly at bars
and conventions, but I seemd fairly popular with the locals."
Priss passes me a guitar and asks me to play something. I nod and
start playing a song that had been stuck in my mind for the past hour.
<Authers note: my apollogys to the late freddy mercury, may he rest in
peace.>
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart.
This is a tricky situation --
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone --
You win -- you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah -- I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart.
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts --
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love --
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone --
How it hurts -- deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough -- on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
Waiting for love.
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another -- right from the start
When you're in love --
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way --
It's a long hard fight --
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love -- for love -- oh I did it for love.
Priss smiles as I hand the guitar back. "you have potental
Neko, why don't you come down to hot legs, we are needing another
vocalist. I'll introduce you to the rest of the group then." I nod, and
Linna asks if I would be willing to spar with her when I got to feeling
better. I say yes and ask about them. Sylia runs this store called
silky dalls, Priss works down at hot legs, Nene is an adp police
officer, Linna is a health instructer and phytness nut.
Later that evning I arive at Nene's apartment. It's a small
place done in a pleasant but eye catching color sceme. As I look around
Nene goes to the fridge and gets out dinner. After we finish I help
her put the dishes in the dishwasher.
"Um � Nene."
"Yes?"
"Would it be possable to see where you work?"
"Sure, I'll arange a pass for you tomarrow. Hmmmm, Neko do you want to
use the shower first or shall I?"
"Hmmm, you go ahead I have some things I want to think about
first." She nods and heads to the shower. I sit there puzling over some
diary entrys. The parts about my being cursed especialy. I don't
remember ever having been cursed to begin with. I shut that into a small
corner of my mind for later as Nene comes out towling herself off. I
blush for some strange reasion. <why am I blushing? We're both girls
after all.>
"Shower's ready Neko." I nod and head into the bathroom before Nene
has a chance to notice my blush. I slip out of my cloaths and step into
the shower, turning the water on I accadently get it to hot.
"Gaaahhhh�.thats hot!!!" I feel my body make the tranceformation from
catgirl to man and with it my memory returns.
"Are you alright in therer?"
Quickly I change the water from hot to cold and say, "Y-yes, I
accadently got the water to hot."
"Ok, I could have sworn there was a guy in there though."
"You must be hearing things."
"I guess so."
Stepping out of the shower towling off as much water as I can, then I
spend the next half hour blowdrying my furr. Before going to sleep I
write another entry in my diary.
Dear diary,
Today has been strainge to say the least. Last night I
watched a movie called Bubble Gum Crisis, and now it seems that I'm
there. I have no idea how I'm going to keep my curse a secret, but I'll
find a way. I know one thing though, I'll have to get a job and a place
of my own. Heh, I can't look directly at Nene now without blushing
anymore. Well I hope things will get better.
