"That was the neko-ken wasn't it?" Ryouga asked. Ranma-chan nodded, and then because she was happy, kissed Ryouga lightly on the lips. This wasn't good for him as seeing that he was already weakened severly. Ranma-chan had to grab him before he hit the ground unconscious AGAIN, and smiling.
Rubbing their throats Ryo and Reiko walked to their mom and hugged her from behind. "Mom?" They asked. For once Ranma answered without hesitation. "Yes?"
"Can we get out of here?" Reiko asked softly. Ranma-chan nodded. They quickly packed their bags and left for another location. Ranma-chan carried Ryouga since he was still out. A shadow flitted behind there path. More than enough power to destroy those two. It thought. Those fools, to think these two could be defeated by the themselves was a joke. But it would not fail as the six nerimians had. It had a mission with imperitance that it did not fail. The company was at stake. Now it would see if the extreme training had paid off. To see if it could reach the goal that looked so easily attainable. To destroy all four of them.

"Kojima!"
"Yes sir!" answered the TO (Tactical Officer) to his captain.
"What is the status report from our assassin Chimera?" the captain demanded.
"Sir! He has reported visual contact with the targets but also reports a power spike in one of the fighters!" The captain spoke with malice in his voice, "Is there a problem?"
"No, no sir! The assassin reports that they can be easily defeated!"
"Good good then, tell Chimera to proceed." The TO sat thinking for a second because of the command he was just given. "But sir, this is going against Eins' first law of time, might we be destroyed in the process?" The sound of a gun going off could be heard throughout the control room. The captain looked around. "That is what happens when people question my judgement, would anyone else like to voice their opinions?" The workers looked down and went back to their duties to keep the colony running. The captain sat back down in thought. I just hope none of them are descendants of that pesky saiyajin race. It's been centuries since the saiyajin wars, and if I remember correctly before it ended one demi saiyajin child escaped into the past.
Present (or past however you want to look at it)
Ranma and Ryouga had gone lax in training after the incident that had occured a week ago. After it happened Ranma seemed to stay more and more in his girl side, simply not caring what form he took. Scraping together the money they had brought, Ranma and Ryouga were able to rent an apartment that had two rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and living room. They both went out to find jobs. Ryouga went into construction, while Ranma had been offered a very high paying job as a waitress. This had been going on for a month Ranma-chan frowned as another customer stared at her body, Finally, ten minutes left and I'll be done for the day. I just hope Ryouga did alright today.
And indeed Ryouga had done well, with his massive strength the company had finished building an office that would have taken months to complete. Without the cost of machinery seeing as how Ryouga could lift all the heavy items. The boss, still very happy with his new worker, gave Ryouga a raise and a bonus for doing so well. They both walked home on the separate paths they had to take and met at the door. Ranma-chan entered the apartment first, followed by Ryouga five minutes later. Ryo and Reiko awoke from their late slumber and ran into the living room to see their parents sitting on the couch watching tv. They jumped onto it from behind and cried out happilly, "Tadaima!" Ryouga and Ranma-chan smiled. They kissed the two and continued to watch tv in silence. Reiko said "Come on!! Now you two kiss!" They both tried to force Ranma-chan and Ryouga to kiss but it didn't work. They got up quickly and in stereo, "No! Don't try and make us do that!" Ranma-chan added, "it's not gonna happen!" Ryo looked up at Ranma-chan in question, "but what about when you kissed him before?" Ryouga looked on in confusion, "What?" He asked. She continued not hearing what he said, "that was different."
"How?" Reiko asked. "Well, well I was happy that you were all ok." Ranma- chan answered. After eating some ramen that Ryouga had cooked Ryo and Reiko went to sleep in their room. Ryouga and Ranma-chan stayed in the living room watching tv. "So what's this that I hear that you kissed me?" Ryouga asked. Ranma-chan looked up at him, "Don't you remember?"
"No" He said. She started to explain. "Well I was so happy that everyone was ok, and then you put your hand on my shoulder, you asked me if that was the neko-ken and I told you it was. Then because I was so happy, well, I-I kissed you on the lips." Ryouga thought Ranma kissed me? But Ranma's a guy! Does that make him gay? Wait, does that make me gay? Wait but Ranma is a girl, I mean was a girl. What does that mean? Does that mean he's straight and I'm gay, or that I'm gay and he's straight? Or are we both straight? ARGH this is to complicated!
Ranma-chan saw Ryouga in deep thought about it. "Ryouga, I'm sorry" Ranma- chan said looking at him. He snapped out of it. "Don't worry it's ok, I think." He said pulling up an uncertain smile. "Ranma we have to talk about something." He said quickly changing topics since he felt uncomfortable. "What what is it?" She questioned. "Don't you think it's weird that I recovered so quickly? And I feel so much stronger now, but I should be passed out in bed from how badly I got hurt." Ranma-chan thought to herself before speaking up, "I really don't know but you're right, that is weird. This is gonna be off topic but, I want to know how our future selves got together in the first place! Because no no way could that ever happen." The conversation ended there and they stayed up late watching tv.
The next morning Ryouga woke still on the couch to find Ranma-chan snuggled against him. He heard her voice from last night. "I want to know how our future selves got together in the first place! Because no no way could that ever happen." It seems to be happening on it's own even with us not wanting it to. He thought.
Ranma-chan stirred and shifted position to look up at Ryouga. "Hi" She said groggily. "Uh, hi" He answered back. They were interrupted by Ryo and Reiko, "OOOO mom and dad were up late last night" The two kids started laughing. "No! Nothing happened!" Ryouga and Ranma-chan chorused waving their arms wildly. Both fell in a heap on the floor. Ryouga tried to get up and brushed something. He froze. Ranma-chan looked up at his scared face, "Ryouga no baka!" Where did that come from? she thought while sending him flying into the kitchen table. An apology and one icepack later Ryouga and Ranma-chan sat opposite Ryo and Reiko. "We want to ask you two some questions." Ryouga asked. The two nodded jester-like. "We want to know, how? How did this happen?" Ranma-chan questioned. Reiko started up, "We already told you, with the wishbringer sword."
"No," Ryouga said, "we want to know how, how our future selves got together." At this the two kids thought hard. "I don't really remember" Ryo said. "All I can remember is something about Akane, and then the rest neither of you would say. Something about if you told us everything would change." At this Ryouga and Ranma were quiet in thought. "I wonder what it was that we couldn't say." Ranma-chan said out loud. None of them knew the answer to that question.
Later on Ranma-chan and Ryouga went on the rooftop of their apartment building to train. They both began with complex katas both glowing a confident blue throughout. Ryouga ended his before Ranma-chan's and watched her. She's so elegant. He thought watching her liquid movements.
Ranma-chan stopped because she felt as if she was being watched. She turned her head to see Ryouga staring at her. "Are you okay?" She asked walking up to him. He snapped out of it. "Oh yeah Ranma I'm fine nothing wrong with me." He said nervously She looked at him questionatively, "Then why were you staring at me?" He stuttered, "Well, uh, I was watching this bird that was flying behind you." She looked at him incredulously, "Yeh, sure whatever you say Ryouga." He breathed a sigh of relief. The two readied themselves into their defensive positions and commenced their sparring session. Well Ryouga is right, he should be injured right now but he's fine. And even better than before too!
Ryouga didn't pay much attention as they sparred. How can I? He thought. Ranma; I shouldn't think this, but she's so kawaii. I don't want to, there's to much between us, the bread feud, his cursing me, and taking Akane away from me, but I can't help it. Why damnit why!? Ranma-chan gave him a good kick to the chest sending him flying. He rose to his feet. Ranma-chan realizing that he wasn't paying close to their spar and thinking there was something wrong, began to question him with concern in her voice. Ryouga are you sure you're ok? Maybe we should do this some other time?... Ryouga could only nod. "We should do this some other time, I-I'm I can't pay attention." Ranma-chan got closer to him carefully scrutinizing him. "Are you sure you're ok?" There she goes again, I can't do this, I can barely think now. Her eyes, her face, so expressive. "I'm fine" he answered turning around and going back into the apartment. What's wrong with him? Ranma-chan thought. Before the day ended Ranma-chan told Ryouga they should go see Nabiki, explaining that maybe somehow she could help them with their mystery. She added that they should leave as soon as possible. Ryouga simply mumbled something and nodded. That night Ryouga slept on the couch, afraid of how far his thinking would go next.
The next day Ryouga woke up to find Ranma-chan waiting patiently for him to do so. "Morning sleepy!" She said cheerfully putting a smile on her face. Ryouga grimaced, trying hard to not think. Her smile turned into a more serious face. "Ryouga, I know something's wrong, and I want to know what it is that's bothering you so much." Ryouga swallowed, How am I going to tell her what's bothering me, she'll-no he'll think I'm a freak! She began to tap her foot on the floor, "I'm waiting." Ryouga sighed. He'd have to tell her, but just didn't know how to do so. He's really having trouble with this. Ranma-chan thought to herself. He began, "Well, you see... I um, I think well," Ranma urged him on with her eyes. "Well lately, I... I think I've been..." He trailed off. "Come on Ryouga you can tell me." Ranma urged some more. He started up again. "I think, I think I've been getting feelings for you." Gaining more courage he continued. "And it's really bothering me. Because well, you're a guy. That isn't right. I don't know why it's happening, it just is." Ryouga looked at the girl, hoping she wouldn't be angry.
Ranma-chan was confused on how to respond. Wow, I wasn't expecting something like this. Ryouga? Is, attracted to me? He's right it is weird, but what can I do? Seeing Ranma's hesitation he started to talk again. "If you want to, I can leave so you won't be bothered by me anymore." Ranma kept thinking, I could tell him to go, but that wouldn't be right. Swallowing her pride she hugged the lost boy and whispered into his ear, "It's ok Ryouga, I understand. Anyways Ryo and Reiko have been through to much for you to leave them again." Her lips accidently brushed against his ear. She cringed waiting for his reaction. He shivered involuntarily after trying desparately to control himself.
They packed in silence packing the bags of Ryo and Reiko as well who were still asleep. When they woke the four left after Ryouga and Ranma-chan explained that they were going back to Nerima. Ryo and Reiko voiced some concern seeing as how this was where their attackers lived. They both assured the kids that everything would be alright. A shadow flitted through the apartment after they closed the door. It followed closely behind. Ranma called before going on the plane. "Hey Nabiki, it's Ranma. Yeah it is me, I just called to say that we're coming to Nerima to see if you could help us with a problem. What about Ryouga?" She looked at the phone in horror. "No Nabiki that's disgusting!" Laughter could be heard from the other line. She hung up the phone in disgust. Had either been listening to the background of their conversation, they would have heard it. There phoneline had been bugged. "Everything all set?" Ryouga asked looking at the flustered Ranma-chan that approached. "Yes everything's fine let's get out of here." Ryouga nodded. He felt much better around Ranma, more relaxed after confessing about what bothered him. But his thoughts continued to plague him, Does Ranma like me? When she brushed her lips against my ear, when she kissed me, when she smiles from seeing me, does that mean anything? Does she like me too?
Ryo and Reiko sat down on the plane in silence. Something was wrong, they both felt it. Something so terrible that it was almost palpable. The plane took off. Ranma having never been on a flight was very frightened. She fought as hard as she could but could no longer do so. She grabbed Ryouga and held onto him tightly for the rest of the flight. This didn't help Ryouga in his thoughts. What does this mean? He thought to himself. A steward passed by and smiled. Lovebirds. He commented to himself seeing the girl holding onto the guy dearly. He's lucky to have someone like that. He added mentally.
The plane touched ground and Ranma sighed. She saw how she had been holding onto the Lost Boy and released him blushing. They exited the plane quickly and took a taxi to the Tendo household. Before entering Ryo looked around. There's something bad going on, but what? Whatever it is, it's going to happen soon. Reiko too felt that there was something wrong. What is going on here? It feels like something's covering us, trying to smother us, but what?
The four entered and said their greetings to Kasumi and Nabiki, unaware of what the next two weeks would bring.
0000000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 00000000000000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0000000
Ryouga, unpacking his stuff, was interrupted by Nabiki entering the room. "Ryouga what's wrong with all of you? I can see it in all your eyes, what's happened to change all of you so much?" Ryouga hesitated, not knowing if he wanted to answer, but saw the determined look on Nabiki's face. She would find out somehow. "We were attacked during one of our training sessions. Cologne, Shampoo, Soun, Genma, Akane, and Kuno. They all attacked us." Nabiki gasped but Ryouga continued. Ranma told me things were going pretty bad, I was unconcious, Ryo and Reiko were being strangled, they were going to kill the three of us. Then she got control of the neko-ken, and saved us."
"What about everyone else were they ok?" Ryouga gave Nabiki a look, "She said that she just knocked them all unconcious." Nabiki walked out thinking. Ranma getting control of the neko-ken? And Ryouga calling Ranma a she? There's something more, but I don't know if I want to try and find out.
She walked into Ranma's room, to find him... her unpacking. "Ranma do you want some hot water?"
"Huh? Oh no thanks Nabiki I'm fine." she answered. And Ranma stays willingly in his girl form, what's going on?
"Ranma, about all of you coming here, what's the problem you were talking about?" Nabiki asked. "Oh that well Ryouga and I want to know what it was that got our future selves together, the kids said it had something to do with Akane, and the rest we never talked about to them. We want to know what we couldn't say, and what about Akane." Nabiki looked at Ranma-chan. "You're asking me, to find out about your future? How am I supposed to do that?" Ranma-chan shrugged, "I know it's probably impossible, but please try." Hmm I could get a lot of money out of this... Nabiki then remembered Kasumi's putting them off limits. On second thought I can get money in other places. Nabiki went to Kasumi to see if she could help, but the girl had nothing to offer in terms of magic or simple knowledge about her questions.
Ryouga went outside looking for Ranma. He found her outside sitting on a chair watching Ryo and Reiko spar. She heard him and looked up smiling. "What's up P-chan?" This time the name didn't bother him. "Ranma aren't you worried that they'll come back?" Ranma knew who Ryouga was talking about. She grimaced, "Well, I didn't really except for when Reiko and Ryo brought it up. But I was kind of praying that they would sense that I was here and steer clear." Ryouga smirked. "Who knows how long that will last." Ranma-chan nodded. "Hopefully as long as we stay here." She said. The spar ended in a draw with both Ryo and Reiko falling to the ground.
The day came to an end as Chimera watched. These fools, they have no idea what's going to happen. I will crush them in the palm of my fist. Chimera was exactly what it's name stood for, a combination of different genetic materials. It's genes had been harvested from the body of a dead sayajin that had the potential for super. The genes had been combined with feline genes as well, giving it a great sense of balance and the ability to see in the dark. The tail it had grown had been permanently removed at birth. Chimera had been trained from the day of it's birth to be an assassin. It had succeeded in many missions but this was far different. It required time travel. Chimera smirked as he watched the two juveniles fall. All to easy, this mission is an insult to be given to me. I will commence my plans soon, and the others will fall at my feet.

I um, I think well," Ranma urged him on with her eyes. "Well lately, I... I think I've been..." He trailed off. "Come on Ryouga you can tell me." Ranma urged some more. He started up again. "I think, I think I've been getting feelings for you." Gaining more courage he continued. "And it's really bothering me. Because well, you're a guy. That isn't right. I don't know why it's happening, it just is." Ryouga looked at the girl, hoping she wouldn't be angry.
Ranma-chan was confused on how to respond. Wow, I wasn't expecting something like this. Ryouga? Is, attracted to me? He's right it is weird, but what can I do? Seeing Ranma's hesitation he started to talk again. "If you want to, I can leave so you won't be bothered by me anymore." Ranma kept thinking, I could tell him to go, but that wouldn't be right.

A shadow flitted through the apartment after they closed the door. It followed closely behind. Ranma called before going on the plane. "Hey Nabiki, it's Ranma. Yeah it is me, I just called to say that we're coming to Nerima to see if you could help us with a problem. What about Ryouga?" She looked at the phone in horror. "No Nabiki that's disgusting!" Laughter could be heard from the other line. She hung up the phone in disgust. Had either been listening to the background of their conversation, they would have heard it. There phoneline had been bugged. "Everything all set?" Ryouga asked looking at the flustered Ranma-chan that approached. "Yes everything's fine let's get out of here." Ryouga nodded. He felt much better around Ranma, more relaxed after confessing about what bothered him. But his thoughts continued to plague him, Does Ranma like me? When she brushed her lips against my ear, when she kissed me, when she smiles from seeing me, does that mean anything? Does she like me too?
Ryo and Reiko sat down on the plane in silence. Something was wrong, they both felt it. Something so terrible that it was almost palpable. The plane took off. Ranma having never been on a flight was very frightened. She fought as hard as she could but could no longer do so. She grabbed Ryouga and held onto him tightly for the rest of the flight. This didn't help Ryouga in his thoughts. What does this mean? He thought to himself. A steward passed by and smiled. Lovebirds. He commented to himself seeing the girl holding onto the guy dearly. He's lucky to have someone like that. He added mentally.
The plane touched ground and Ranma sighed. She saw how she had been holding onto the Lost Boy and released him blushing. They exited the plane quickly and took a taxi to the Tendo household. Before entering Ryo looked around. There's something bad going on, but what? Whatever it is, it's going to happen soon. Reiko too felt that there was something wrong. What is going on here? It feels like something's covering us, trying to smother us, but what?
The four entered and said their greetings to Kasumi and Nabiki, unaware of what the next two weeks would bring.

Ryouga, unpacking his stuff, was interrupted by Nabiki entering the room. "Ryouga what's wrong with all of you? I can see it in all your eyes, what's happened to change all of you so much?" Ryouga hesitated, not knowing if he wanted to answer, but saw the determined look on Nabiki's face. She would find out somehow. "We were attacked during one of our training sessions. Cologne, Shampoo, Soun, Genma, Akane, and Kuno. They all attacked us." Nabiki gasped but Ryouga continued. Ranma told me things were going pretty bad, I was unconcious, Ryo and Reiko were being strangled, they were going to kill the three of us. Then she got control of the neko-ken, and saved us."
"What about everyone else were they ok?" Ryouga gave Nabiki a look, "She said that she just knocked them all unconcious." Nabiki walked out thinking. Ranma getting control of the neko-ken? And Ryouga calling Ranma a she? There's something more, but I don't know if I want to try and find out.
She walked into Ranma's room, to find him... her unpacking. "Ranma do you want some hot water?"
"Huh? Oh no thanks Nabiki I'm fine." she answered. And Ranma stays willingly in his girl form, what's going on?
"Ranma, about all of you coming here, what's the problem you were talking about?" Nabiki asked. "Oh that well Ryouga and I want to know what it was that got our future selves together, the kids said it had something to do with Akane, and the rest we never talked about to them. We want to know what we couldn't say, and what about Akane." Nabiki looked at Ranma-chan. "You're asking me, to find out about your future? How am I supposed to do that?" Ranma-chan shrugged, "I know it's probably impossible, but please try." Hmm I could get a lot of money out of this... Nabiki then remembered Kasumi's putting them off limits. On second thought I can get money in other places. Nabiki went to Kasumi to see if she could help, but the girl had nothing to offer in terms of magic or simple knowledge about her questions.
Ryouga went outside looking for Ranma. He found her outside sitting on a chair watching Ryo and Reiko spar. She heard him and looked up smiling. "What's up P-chan?" This time the name didn't bother him. "Ranma aren't you worried that they'll come back?" Ranma knew who Ryouga was talking about. She grimaced, "Well, I didn't really except for when Reiko and Ryo brought it up. But I was kind of praying that they would sense that I was here and steer clear." Ryouga smirked. "Who knows how long that will last." Ranma-chan nodded. "Hopefully as long as we stay here." She said. The spar ended in a draw with both Ryo and Reiko falling to the ground.
The day came to an end as Chimera watched. These fools, they have no idea what's going to happen. I will crush them in the palm of my fist. Chimera was exactly what it's name stood for, a combination of different genetic materials. It's genes had been harvested from the body of a dead sayajin that had the potential for super. The genes had been combined with feline genes as well, giving it a great sense of balance and the ability to see in the dark. The tail it had grown had been permanently removed at birth. Chimera had been trained from the day of it's birth to be an assassin. It had succeeded in many missions but this was far different. It required time travel. Chimera smirked as he watched the two juveniles fall. All to easy, this mission is an insult to be given to me. I will commence my plans soon, and the others will fall at my feet.
