            Ranma Crossing Over to the Wild Side
   
            By Paul Bennett aka Shadowbakasama

               
Chapter 9:  The Morning After


Ranma was having trouble waking up.  There was light coming in the 
window and he could smell breakfast, so why hadn't someone splashed him 
with cold water or thrown him out the window yet?  Rolling over to look 
around Ranma doesn't recognize the room he's in.

Engaging his mind Ranma thinks, 'OK, not at the Tendo's or Mom's house.  
What did I do yesterday? ... Oh Kami, the WEDDING!  I remember 
everything going to hell and Akane hitting me into the pond then 
Shampoo-Neko! ...  Then I was in the bath with *Rei-chan* <Man, is she 
Hot or what?>  Yeah, I usually don't get a nosebleed, and she didn't 
even hit me or scream HENTAI like Akane does.  That's right, I went Neko 
and she found me and brought me home with her. <She's your NEW 
fiancee.>  Right, and I met her friends. <V-chan was so pissed.>  Yeah, 
I apologized, but I've got to make it up to her, I pulled some pretty 
nasty tricks on her in when we were in England.  <At least she seems to 
have given up on revenge.>  Well, I guess she decided that I've had more 
than enough suffering.  I can't believe I broke down in front of those 
girls.  <Scared the hell out of them.>  Yeah, Usagi threw up, V-chan 
broke down and cried, Makoto . she was praying for me, and Rei-chan came 
over and hugged me until I felt better. <Akane isn't the #1 fiancee 
anymore.>  Well, now I've got a year to get rid of the other fiancees. 
<I smell breakfast!> Time to get up.'

After a quick wash up and a dip in the furo to change back Ranma gets 
dressed just in time to join Rei and her grandfather for breakfast.

"Ranma-kun are you ready to start the Neko-tolerance training again?" 
the elderly priest asks.

"Kami, I have to do that again?" Ranma complains, "Didn't you find 
anything else to help, like a meditation technique or hypnosis, anything 
but c-cats."

"I only started looking yesterday, I made a few calls too some 
associates of mine, I'm hoping that they may have dealt with something 
like this before." Grampa Hino says.  "One of them is coming over soon, 
he is your best chance since he has been around for over 700 years."

"He's not all shrunken and shriveled up is he?"

"No, he doesn't look his age.  Actually he disguises his youth and 
assumes new identities every so often.  His lifeforce is bonded to that 
of a majestic tree that keeps him young, and gifts him with some mystic 
powers.  He came to Tokyo yesterday when he saw the news of a 
*Neko-Onna* on the loose, so maybe he has had some experience with the 
Neko-Ken."

"However," Rei interupts them, "you promised the police a demonstration 
of the Neko-Ken, so Minako-chan is bringing Artemis over in an hour.  
Nabiki-san is also coming over with your Mom and a few others."

"Alright Rei-chan, I'll do it, but it takes quite a bit to force me into 
the Neko-Ken anymore.  I'm not sure a regular c-c- feline can scare me 
enough anymore, the last two times it has been Shampoo, my amazon 
fiancee, in her c-c- mouse chaser form.  And she was right in my face 
with her c-claws in me, and y-yowling at me.  The time before that it 
was a t-TIGER.  I just don't think a normal c-c-c house pet will scare 
me enough anymore."

"Well, it seems like the Neko-Tolerance training did some good after 
all, right Rei-chan."

"That's true, I doubt Shampoo could have scare me if not for her angry 
Battle Aura, and the fact that I had just been attacked with bombs and a 
Mallet-User having a serious conniption fit over the wedding disaster."

"We'll have to come up with something to make Artemis scary.  I'll give 
Mina a call and have come over early."

-----------

Ranma is in a closet with Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, and Artemis.  
Ranma-chan stood in the corner as far from Artemis as he could get in a 
closet.

"Now Rei-chan, why are we in the closet in Senshi form?" Venus asks Mars.

"Well, I told you about how me and my family reduced Ranma's fear of 
cats with the Neko-Tolerance training we did.  Well, the problem is that 
a cat needs to be Very Scary to put him into the Neko-Ken.  I think 
we'll have to umm power up Artemis to scare Ranma."

"Can we do that?  I mean I know we can combine powers, but can Arty 
handle that much power."

"I shouldn't need that much power, I'm not going to attack him, just 
power up a scary battle aura." Artemis says, "So just give me a little 
at a time, and I'll tell you when to stop."

So they start to push they're power into the white cat until his hair is 
standing on end, his eyes are glowing, and an impressive Battle Aura is 
glowing around him.  Venus is holding her cat up to Ranma-chan and 
Artemis is growling at Ranma, but Ranma isn't getting scared enough.

"Damn, I'm getting scared of Artemis and Ranma-san is still just 
standing there.  Arty can you take any more?" Venus asks her cat.

"No way, I'm almost burning up right now."

"Well, I know one trick that might do it.  Sorry Artemis." Mars says as 
she grabs his tail and runs one hand up the tail petting the fur the 
wrong way.

"RROWL!!" Artemis yells in pain and anger digging his claws into Venus's 
arms as he whips around to face Mars, his battle aura changing to a hot 
feeling red as his fur huffs up. 

Mars seeing that Ranma is finally getting scared trips Venus towards 
Ranma, and Venus tossed the angry cat at Ranma so that she can catch 
herself before she hits the floor.

Artemis grabs onto Ranma shirt and whips his head around to growl at 
Mars "GRRRAW, That HURT Rei, I'm going to get you for that!"

As Artemis jumps off of Ranma-chan, scratching her on takeoff.  
Neko-Ranma-chan drops to all fours and lunges after him pinning Artemis 
to the floor under her hand before he could reach Mars.  "RRrrrrr." 
Neko-Ranma-chan growls at the tomcat telling him not to attack his 
friend the Nice-Girl.

"OK OK, I won't attack her.  Mars, could you get me away from her, 
PLEASE." Artemis cries out from the floor.

Mars goes over to Neko-teki Ranma-chan, and pets her head a little bit.  
"That's a good kitty, protecting me from that Mean tomcat, but you can 
let him go now." She says lifting Neko-Ranma-chan's hand off of Artemis.

Venus quickly snatches up Artemis saying "Hey, Arty daijoubu?"

"I'm fine, a little bruised.  He didn't slam me down that hard." 

"Sorry about that Artemis," Mars says from where she was petting her 
fiancee, "You weren't being scary enough, Ranma can read auras and you 
weren't angry, so you weren't scaring him.  I used to do that to the 
cats we used on Ranma before to get them angry, he wasn't scared of them 
otherwise." 

"OK Mars, I forgive you, but I want some of that catnip and sushi you 
got for your eh 'girl-friend' there."

"Arty, you and your catnip.  I swear you'll get hooked on that stuff." 
Venus scolds her mooncat advisor.  "Hey Rei, do you mind if I pet your 
fiance?"

"Sure, I wouldn't like him to not like my friends.  You better set Arty 
down though."

"Right, sh.he might not get along with another tomcat." Venus says 
putting Artemis down by the door, then walks over to them saying, "Hi 
there Neko-chan, your a nice kitty aren't you.  You want to be friends." 
she says holding her hand out to Neko-Ranma-chan.

"Myah, prrrurrr, prrrurrr." Neko-teki Ranma-chan says butting her head 
against her hand.

"I'll take that as a yes.  Oh your just a big sweet ferocious omnivore 
aren't you?" Venus says petting her hair and scratching under her chin, 
then doing behing her ears while Neko-Ranma-chan rubs up against her.

"Hey!  That's enough of that.  She's a shameless flirt for attention." 
Artemis complains.

"Like your not.  Hmmpf.  I think your just jealous."  Venus replies.

"Oh well, lets change back and take our 'cat-girl' out to meet her 
adoring fans."

----------

Rei and Minako lead the nekofied martial artist out behind the shrine 
where everyone was waiting for them.  Nabiki was there with her cousin 
Mizuno Ami, a man holding a video camera from channel 6 NEWS and 
Detective Shipiro on one side, and Nodoka was with her father Masaki 
Katsuhito, her aunt Ayeka, and their friends Ryoko, and Washu.

Minako seeing the news camera gets an impish grin and does a spin 
showing off her outfit and says "Presenting our favorite cat-girl, it's 
Neko-Ranko-chan." pointing to the Neko-Onna in true gameshow girl fashion.

This earns her a glare from Rei, while everyone else gets a chuckle out 
of it.

Detective Shipiro steps forward saying "Well, how about we get the 
police business done first.  I didn't come up with a good way to get a 
*cat* to use it's claws on a target, but someone suggested that a large 
cat would not hesitate to attack and kill a vicious dog, so I have 
brought a pit-bull that was skeduled to be put to sleep for mauling a 
young girl.  I don't think any martial artist would object to much to 
killing a vicious animal as long it wasn't for sport."

After seeing that no one would object he went back a pulled a cage with 
wheel forward.  "Excuse me Masaki-dono could you hold one of the ropes 
to control the dog, I would have brought a K-9 officer dut we wanted to 
keep down the number of people here."

"It's not a problem Detective. I'd be glad to be of service."  He says 
coming forward and taking one of the ropes.

Nabiki brings out a plate of sushi and puts it down in front of 
Neko-Ranma-chan while the two men bring the pit-bull out with the 
ropes.  The dog sees a person with some food and starts barking and trys 
to lunge forward but is stopped by the ropes.

Neko-Ranma-chan sees a loud and annoying vicious dog trying to get to 
his treat and starts growling and huffing up to protect his food.

"OK on three release the rope. Ready?"  Getting the nod from Katsuhito 
the detective counts down.  "One, Two, THREE!" Shipiro says and they 
drop the ropes letting the dog charge forward to attack.

The dog runs straight in and when he reached a point 3 feet in front of 
Neko-Ranma-chan *THwap!*  The dog was hit by a swat from 4 glowing red 
'ki blades' over 2 feet long.  *Thump-thump-thump*  The dog hit the 
ground about 8 feet to the side, stone-cold dead before if hit the 
ground.  The front legs had been severed cleanly into 5 pieces, the 
skull was split by 2 deep claw marks and the neck was mostly cut 
through, and two claws had reached the chest, cutting through the ribs 
and slicing the lungs and heart.

Various exclamations of "Kuso" and "Kami" were heard from different 
people standing there looking at the wreckage of the pit-bull while 
Neko-Ranma-chan picks up a sushi roll and eats it.

When the detective pulls himself together he says "Well, that certainly 
covers how she was able to kill the monster in the park.  You can take 
her back inside, I'll have the forensic crew clean up this mess.  Thank 
you for your cooperation."

"All right, lets walk around too the other side of the shrine and let 
the the police clean up their mess.  Come on Ranko-kitty." Rei says 
leading them around the shrine.

"Well, I think we learned an important lesson there." Nabiki says.

"Oh, what's that Nabiki-san."  Katsuhito asks her.

"*Never* let Neko-teki Ranko-chan play with the neighbor's dog." she 
answers before everyone laughs.  "Unless you hate the neighbor's dog."  
Nabiki say thoughfully and they laugh some more. 

"I know it happened pretty fast, but that claw attack didn't look right 
to me." Rei says, "It looked like she hit the dog before it was within 
reach."

"I agree." Katsuhito puts in, "It didn't look like claws extending from 
her fingers ever reached the dog."

"I'll give you my analysis for 2000 yen." Nabiki says putting out her hand.

"You'll never change Nabiki." Her cousin Ami complains forking over the 
money.

"Hey, I'm not that bad.  But I agree, I don't think that was 
Ranko-neko's normal *ki claw* attack."  Nabiki says to them, "That 
looked more like her Neko-Ken claws combined with a vaccuum blade 
throwing technique called the Kijin Raishu Dan."  Nabiki says analyzing 
the attack.  "I think she managed to draw her claws through the air 
forming a set of *ki blades* that streaked forward to hit the dog.  I'll 
have to go over the tape in slo-mo to make sure, but I'm pretty sure 
that Neko-Ranko-chan's claws hit the dog before it was within her 
reach.  So it seems like Neko-teki Ranko-chan can use at least some of 
Ranko's advanced martial arts techniques."

"Hmm, the personalities may be getting closer together, so that skills 
and memories will be shared between the cat-mind and Ranko's mind."  
Washu muses.

"That's possible I suppose." Katsuhito says as Neko-Ranko-chan comes 
over and rubs against his leg.  "At least she seems like a friendly 
cat." he says reaching down to rub her hair.

"It's almost unfortunate that we won't get too see her very often." Rei 
says sadly. "Ranko has become more and more resistant to her fear of 
cats.  Unless attacked by a lion, tiger, or cat-demon she is unlikely to 
fall into the neko-ken anymore.  It was very hard to scare her enough to 
have Neko-chan come out today, so why don't we enjoy what may be the 
last time we get to see her. *sniff*"

And so they sent the cameraman home but kept the news camera to make 
home movies promising to return it and let channel 6 have some of the 
good footage.  Neko-chan got petted by everyone, and Rei did her lion 
tamer impression but lost her whip to Neko-chan and had her chair 
reduced to kindling before being pounced and rolling around on the 
ground with the Neko-Onna.  Katsuhito sparred with the kitty using his 
bokken, he got in a few hits, but also got scratched up a bit and bowled 
over a couple times.  Ryoko got to rough-housing with Neko-Ranma-chan, 
wrestling with the cat and flying around throwing low-powered energy 
blasts while the cat-girl dodged and blocked the shots and kept leaping 
up trying to get Ryoko, ending up in the forest where Neko-chan ambushed 
Ryoko from the top of a tree and fell with her to the ground.  Washu and 
Ami got lots of good readings and Nabiki got lots of good pictures, and 
Ayeka, Ami, and Minako played keep away with her after snatching a piece 
of sushi from Neko-chan.  When it was getting towards dinnertime a 
played out Neko-Ranma-chan fell asleep on his mother's lap while being 
petted.
