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 course. 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
In a bed rests a figure, it appears to be a handsome looking, white haired
young man. He has a slightly above average seeming build, with almost cat
like features. His eyes are closed and on his face is an expression of
peace. His eyes open and the person sits up and sleepily looks outside. It
was a beautiful dawn Bryan woke up to. The sun was just emerging to lighten
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 Arkansas. In
fact...rare
_anywhere_. *Ah,
_lovely_ day out.* Bryan blinked sleep from
his eyes as he continued to look through the window. Putting on some clean
cloths, Bryan goes 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 back inside.
Suddenly, the room blurres briefly. *What the...?? I must be a hell of a
lot more hung over than I think I am if my vision's blurring! Then he was
falling. *"Oh sshhh......!!!!!!!!" * Bryan 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 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 Bryan 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!!....
It has been said that the gods have a sense of humor, and Bryan soon found
this to be true..........
"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." Bryan muttered as he, now a definite she
climbs out of the pool. "Could you tell me how to change back?"
"Miss customer, you need only use warm water to change back." The man
hands Bryan a kettle full of warm water.
"Thanx." Bryan 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."
Bryan 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 cabbit <so they're cute, i just couldn't resist.>
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 cabbit looks up and looks a bit confused....
"Here I'll show you and he sets the cabbit down and fishes out a thermos
of hot water he had purchased form the Jusenkyo guide. He unscrews the cap
and pours the water on the cabbit 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!!"
Bryan just nods and says. "Well we best get some sleep if we're going to
have an early start in the morning."
........3 months later.....
"Ryouga are you sure you know where your going?"
Ryouga gives him 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 the dojo
comes in sight it starts raining. Bryan picks up Ryouga and her gear and
heads toward the dojo. She, knocks on the door and it opens showing a
pretty brown haired woman.
"May I help you?"
"Yes is this the famous Tendo training hall?"
The woman smiles warmly. "Yes, it is please come in. Father will be with
you in a moment, may I get you anything?"
"Something to drink would be nice."
Kasumi gets Bryan a glass of water. "oh, my I forgot to ask you your
name."
Bryan looks up and says "it's Bryan Mam."
Kasumi smiles. "I am Kasumi what's the cabbit's name?"
"It's C-chan."
C-chan gives me a pained look.
"That's a nice name." At this point Akane and Ranma inter the room.
Ranma takes one look at Bryan and runs off screaming
"c-c-c-c-c-caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Akane glares after ranma and mutters "baka!"
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...
"I am Soun Tendo master of this dojo. My daughter informs me that you
wish to speak with me?"
Bryan bows "Yes, sir I wish to train here and I am able to pay for my
training, and also room and board."
"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." At this point tears of
joy are flowing freely from Soun's eyes.
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
Bryan 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."
Bryan smiles "That's ok, cleaning it out will give me something to do."
Akane nods and leaves. Bryan sets the cabbit on the desk and starts sorting
through the dirty magazines blushing profusely as she piles them in boxes to
be taken elsewhere. c-chan glances at one and faints 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. bryan smiles as she here's kasumi call
saying that dinner was ready. After a wonderful dinner Bryan heads to her
room. sitting at her desk with C-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.
The Tendos seem nice enough especially that kasumi. Well looks like time
for bed.
---Bryan
<Alone by blonde plays as we watch our hero/heroen fall asleep.>
Dear diary,
It�s been about 3 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 restaurant opened up
accrossed from the bar I work 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 Shyan-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
weather or not he�s male or female. Mr.Tendo has been training me with an
intense vigor which 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. Well diary tomorrow�s another
day. Till then I�ll be hoping things don�t get worse.
---Bryan
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 Nabiki on her way to the Head.
"Morning Bryan, 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, Akane, 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 surprised me by learning as fast as you have and that your
nearing Akane�s level."
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 Bryan 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."
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 the 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 about 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. Ranma, Akane, and
Nabiki head off toward class and I to the Principal�s office to get a
visitor�s pass.
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 ....?" I
lean over and wisper in her ear...."Neko a catgirl as you can see and also a
local Bouncer. Mr. kunji you will be sitting next to Akane and Miss Neko
you�ll be next to Ranma." <who by this time has got to where he can stand
to be near me with out running off in utter terror.> 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 months 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 an almost palpable silence and I can almost hear the hearts of
the perverted little fanboy wienies break. 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 call me playing as the camra pans back from the
uncontious figure.>
...Waking I a face over me that seems familiar, 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 unusual thing
is it�s covered in dark red and tan fur. Looking up at the woman who is
examining me and ask her, "where the bloody �ell am I, and what the �ell
happened?"
"Your at doc. Raven�s, you also had a nasty bump on the head. We
couldn't�t take you to a hospital for reasons that should be plain to you.
Now rest for awhile and we�ll talk later."
Nodding I close my eyes and fall asleep. Much later I wake up to the call
of nature, and so doing, I get out of bed and slowly find my way to the
head. Along the way I hear the woman�s voice.
"Priss, Nene, linna�..what are we going to do with her? 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."
"She can stay with me till we can think of something." Piped up a 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
motorcycle 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 trouble interacting with the public as you are, but Nene
here says that she would be happy to have you stay with her till you decide
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 remember my name is Neko. I think I�m 22 but I�m not sure, I could be
younger heh I look it. Anyway, I also remember training with this guy named
Ryouga in marital arts for a few years. I also remember variable sights and
national monuments such as the tokyo tower."
Sylia looks at me strangely 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 =^,^= icky
face. "I really hate the rain and getting my fur 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 screeching halt. "shut the hell up!" she looks around and
continues. "Neko is tiered and 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 remember doing anything that might help to find you a job or
something here?"
"Well.. I think I was a bouncer, working mostly at bars and conventions."
Priss smiles. "Neko, why don�t you come down to hot legs, we are
needing another bouncer." 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 instructor and phitness nut.
Later that evening I arrive at Nene�s apartment. It�s a small place
done in a pleasant but eye catching color scheme. As I look around Nene
goes to the fridge and gets out a german chocolate cake with coconut
sprinkles on it, she cuts out two large wedges and puts them on plates
before putting the rest back in the fridge. We chat for awhile as we munch
the cake. It turns out she likes sweets as much as I do. After we finish I
help her put the dishes in the dishwasher.
"Um Nene."
"Yes?"
"would it be passable to see where you work?"
"Sure, I�ll arrange a pass for you tomorrow. 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 puzzling over some diary entries.
The parts about my being cursed especially. 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 towelling herself off. I blush for some strange
reason. *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 clothes and step into the
shower, turning the water on I accidentally get it to hot.
"Gaaahhhh....thats hot!!!" I feel my body make the transformation from
catgirl to man and with it my memory returns.
"Are you alright in there?"
Quickly I change the water from hot to cold and say, "Y-yes, I
accidentally 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 towelling off as much water as I can, then I
spend the next half hour blow drying my fur. Before going to sleep I write
another entry in my diary.
Dear diary,
Today has been strange 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.
