Transplantation (A strange tale in)
Chapter 4
After that very strange escapade yesterday, I decided that there was something missing in the world that was present in the Ranma ½ manga episodes. I mean, Akane, Ranma, the Tendos, they were fine, but what about Ukyou, Ryouga, Kuno? I had seen neither hide nor hair of them since I had come, but this was to be resolved very soon.
"P-Chan!" Akane said as the little black piglet wandered in. My being not Akane and a bit more perceptive, instantly recognized Ryouga. I refused to do anything, because the past 4 attempts had been unsuccessful.
(flashback)
"P-Chan!"
[Uh, Akane? That's Ryouga.]
[No it isn't! You must be becoming blind.]
[Dunk him in hot water. He has a Jusenkyou curse.]
[That's cruel!]
[Did you hear me? HE HAS A JUSENKYOU CURSE!]
[Sure. And so does Nabiki.]
[AAAAAAGH!]
(end flashback)
Apparently, some insane guy erected a SEP (Somebody Else's Problem: Read the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy series) field around P-Chan or something. Yech. I didn't do anything, and pointedly ignored the pig while Akane fawned over it. I heard some interesting stuff though, as Ranma was watching TV.
"…reports of a savage white Persian cat mauling all who comes near, whether a ball of yarn or a decommissioned Abrams tank. Officials are discussing whether to bomb the docks, but are hampered by a riot by environmental activists proclaiming that the cat's life is at danger. This reporter would like to point out that it has severely wounded 17 people and less seriously injured 56 more. An armored personnel carrier, holding a squadron of Nerima Animal Control officers, is now cautiously approaching the cat, with the officers all aiming their shotgun tranquilizer cannons at the cat…THE CAT HAS SHREDDED THE CARRIER! AAAAAA-\/-=-*crackle*" Ranma stared at the now-static filled screen. He switched to another channel, which was incidentally Japanese CNN headline news.
"This is a report by CNN upon the status of the Nerima docks. Apparently, a small Persian cat has annihilated 6 mobile divisions of the Nerima Animal Control, and destroyed 4 news camera crews. Our CNN reporter is there, hiding behind the crates behind the cat."
"Thanks Pam. This is a war zone here. Bodies literally are strewn everywhere and the cat shows no sign of stopping it's deadly rampage. Nerima 9 News has just gotten attacked, and the carnage, well, is disgusting. The cat is now heading south, toward Greater Tokyo. Wait a minute…an American sea attack group has positioned itself to fire upon the docks…they're firing…A large section of the docks near me have been destroyed, including where the cat was…Oh my god ohmygod ohmygod it's still alive! It's in the water…going toward the ship…OH GOD THE SHIP! THE SHIP! THE SHIP IS DESTROYED! GAAAAA! It's coming toward me…*bzt*"
[Uh, Akane?]
[Hm?]
[Don't you even CARE that a CAT is annihilating half the damn docks?]
[Oh. So, you want Ranma to help, right?]
[Neko-ken is a good thing, when needed.]
[*sigh* allright.]
"Ranma?"
"Hm?"
"Don't you think that you should go help out the cops?"
"Ah, it's a cat. I don't think so."
"Whatever."
[I tried.]
[Yeah.]
After a bit, I resumed control, then walked out of the Tendo dojo to the Nerima docks. I wasn't really surprised at the massive amount of carnage apparent, with bodies everywhere, smoking hulks of tanks, cars, and the ship in the distance. I then saw a cat walking toward me. I pulled out Akane's mallet and smashed it into bloody pieces.
[Disgusting.]
[Hey, this or watch a pyramid or corpses pile up.]
I then woke up at the point where Akane was holding P-Chan. Apparently, I dozed off after hearing "Martha Stewart's How to Cook Guide" instead of "Cat Carnage 2001". Ranma stood up.
"I hafta go to the Nekohanten."
Akane said icily, "Why? To be with the hussy?"
"No! No no no, I just need to talk to the ghoul about something."
"Oh, alright."
Ranma raised an eyebrow at the response. Normally, she'd have already smashed him over the head with the mallet. "Akane? Are you feeling okay?"
Akane started to anger, but I quickly seized control. "Yes, I'm fine, Ranma."
"Because you've been acting nicer lately, and that chow mein you cooked was good…"
"Really?"
"Uh, yeah…"
"So, what do you need to talk to the ghoul about?"
"Info on Pressure Points."
"Ah."
Ranma left. I sat down on the couch and stared at the TV for a few minutes. I then started up a conversation.
[Akane?]
[What?]
[You got angry at Ranma, but he was about to compliment you. Had I not seized control, you would probably have malleted him to death.]
[Well, I guess…]
[See? Just don't kill him whenever he insults you and you'll be fine.]
[Okay. Speaking of which, you know that school starts in 2 days, right?]
[School? You mean…HIGH…SCHOOL…?]
[Yes, high school.]
[Did I mention that I'm working for my bachelor's in Computer Programming?]
[Uh…]
[College.]
[WHAT? How could you be…]
[Bleah. I hated high, I don't want to go again, I refu-]
I was cut off as a lightning bolt struck the ground outside. I walked out and into the garden. There, I found a message.
Fabrice,
GO TO SCHOOL!
-Kami
I rolled my eyes, then stamped out the message with my foot. I walked back into the living room and relaxed. I then noticed P-Chan sitting on the couch lazily.
"Hey. Ryouga."
"Bwee?" The piglet froze.
[I told you, HE'S NOT RYOUGA!]
I ignored her and picked up P-Chan. I walked up to the bathroom door and tossed the pig in. 5 minutes later…
"Akane…?"
I left the situation to her and sunk into a reverie. For some strange reason, I had a vision of the white Persian cat eating my dorm room, fascist roomie included. When I woke up, Akane was crying softly on her pillow in her room.
[Akane?]
[Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP! From the second you came into my life, you've screwed it up!]
[Dammit! All I did was show you the things you hid from yourself! Bad cooking, lack of perception,-]
[DAMN YOU! SHUT UP!!!!!]
At this, I had the sense to stop. I couldn't understand her. I mentally sighed, and resolved to fix the situation.
Deep at night, after Akane had cried herself to sleep and the other eavesdroppers had left, I quietly took control. I grabbed the computer off the desk, then lay down on the bed.

"Fulaga. Report."
"Fabrice is making very good progress on Akane, but at a cost to her self-reliance. She is now a mental wreck."
"Ugh. At least she will recover."
"True. Where is Fabrice now?"
"He has used the program I uploaded to his computer from Yggdrasil. He is in his home dimension."
"Surely.."
"No, no Kami. He can come back. I deemed it wise that he have some resting time. After all, it is his first time he went through this ordeal."
"True. Excellent work, Fulaga.
(In the long-lost Caltech dorm room)
I woke up to the sound of the computer beeping. Apparently, it was mad because I didn't use it for X amount of time. I glanced at the wall clock, which, unsuprisingly, was a Ranma ½ one. "No time pass? Huh." I shut down the computer, then climbed into my bed and drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
I know, a bit darker, but I felt this was needed. At least the 'insane cat' episode was good for a laugh. TBC.
