Chapter 3
***********************************************************************************************************
The Neko-ken. Shrouded in mystery left the trainy with an irrational fear of cats. Or turned them permeanently into one mentally. But why does the person trained, in this version of torment that could only be sentenced on the worst criminals, exhibit paws instead of hands while in their cat state.
Is it not possible for them to create other 'phantom' items that would make the person more like the cat that they would fear so much? Could those people who master this ultimate technique exhibit ears, tails, eyes, or any other feature that is similar to a cats? Are they limited in the chi or ki they can channel to mold their bodies in any form that they wish?
Ranma lay on the floor. He and Terry had found a room. After demonstrating the curse, he had found that this Terry man didn't mind it as much as what he could become if he wanted. Hell even he didn't know how he had done that. He felt power flowing through himself like he never felt before. It was as if it was a constant energy, but it was hallow. Devoid of any emotion, it seemed lacking.
He looked at his hand illuminated by the moonlight. He concentrated slightly, more like on instinct called for the claws. He saw how his hand seemed to grow and become a paw with an opposable thumb.
Feeling his aura again he found that it was no longer lacking emotion but was more filled out as if a puzzle was coming together peice by peice. The feeling continued as another instinctive action kicked in and he found himself with larger ears.
"They look real enough." Ranma whispered so as not to wake his room-mate.

"OH WHERE IS THAT UNGRATEFULL BOY OF MINE!"
Nodoka on her way to the Tendo's to visit with her son for the first time since the failed wedding. She heard her husband yell this and rushed to the doorway and saw everyone inside wearing angry scowls. Well Nabiki and Kasumi looked more concerned than anything. Two of her sons supposed fiances were glaring at Akane and accusing her of driving Ranma away.
"Excuse me whats going on here?" She said fingering her katana.
"Oh auntie what a pleasent surprise." Kasumi said getting up and hauling the older woman off into the kitchen with Nabiki following shortly behind.
"Kasumi what is the meaning of this." She said setting the katana on the counter and sitting in a chair.
"Oh auntie Ranma left for Germany earlier today. Apparently as Cologne-san said, he had faced some man from there who beat him. And, he went their to train and have a rematch." Kasumi said grabbing a kettle off the stove and pouring it in a cup before adding some tea to it.
Kasumi missed the nervouse expression that spread of the Saotome matriach's face, but Nabiki noticed.
"Auntie why are you so nervous?"
"Well you see, I um, didn't mean to it just happened." she stammered while finding her fingers suddenly very interesting.
"What do you mean auntie?" Kasumi asked pouring herself and Nabiki some tea.
"Well it all started nine months before Ranma was born when I met a man while traveling in Germany. He was so manly."
Nabiki and Kasumi both looked at the woman who accounted her tale of meeting a striking young German man with purple hair. After her tale they sat for a few minutes in silence. Then Nodoka spoke up again.
"But he was so manly."

Terry leaned over and sat up from his bed. He saw Ranma laying on the floor sprawled out over it. He saw that he had made his tail, ears, and paws appear again. Though he didn't see how the boy could change his limbs to his liking. The boy was a mystery, he possesed a strength that made him seem weak. But, at the same time he was vulnerable, and most likely corruptable. He saw someone who had been abused in the past and was just now starting to wake up.
For better or worse.
***
"Ok let's get this straight." Nabiki started.
"You went to Germany, slept with him, then you had Ranma. Next you married Genma so you wouldn't be looked down on."
"That is correct."
"But that would mean that the man that came and beat Ranma was actually..." Nabiki started once again but Nodoka interrupted.
"That man was Wolfgang Krauser his father."
***
Ranma's eyes snapped open as the smell of food overwhelmed him and he was up and eating the complimentary donuts the hotel had provided. Terry gawked as Ranma ate ever last one before he had a chance to get any. Ranma sat back and burped slightly.
"You ate them all." Terry stuttered.
"Oops sorry you didn't want any did ya?"
"Well yeah."
"Oops, i'm really sorry."
"Not as sorry as your gonna be you little cat-burglar!"
Ranma had to duck as Terry started to attack. He barely dodged a blue flamed fist. He had to jump out the window when he had started to power up some sort of move that would have destroyed the floor.
"Why does this always happen to me!"
"RANMA PREPARE TO DIE!"
Ranma dodged again as Ryoga Hibiki landed where he was before he started to swing with his umbrella.
"Yipes!" He let out jumping over a viscious kick.
Terry stopped and watched as the new boy who was weaker than himself attack Ranma like he was trying to kill him.
"POWER GUYSER!" He yelled sending the blast at the new boy.
Ryoga's eyes widened as a wave of blue overtook him and sent him crashing through a tree. Ranma also watched and silently thanked whoever had stopped him from being hit by that. Walking over he checked Ryoga's injuries and found they were minor.
"Terry?"
"Uh yeah Ranma?"
"Could ya teach me that."
"Alright but first ya gotta tell me who that was and why they attacked you."
"Fair enough."
***
"So this Ryoga guy is after you because he missed a duel?" Terry asked.
"Thats basically it. He also blames all of his troubles on me."
"Thats bad."
"Yeah I know he's a constant annoyance."
"So what are ya gonna do with him?"
"Leave em, wouldn't matter if we did anything he would get lost anyways."
"The least we could do would get him some bacon or something from the hotel."
"Not a good idea remember he turns into a pig."
"Oh."
"Yeah let's get moving I wanna learn that power guyser move. That was cool."
"Alright let's go."
***
"My Lord, Ranma Saotome has been seen with Terry Bogard. There was another lad with them but he has dissapeared."
"Thank you, now continue watching them."
"Yes my Lord."
Krauser contemplated just bringing the fight to them but decided against it. 'When they come I will face Bogard then I will have my heir.'

Author Notes:
Yeah I haven't done this in the previous chapters but I will not have Ranma with Terry. I don't think people would like that. Maybe Mai and Ranma that would be cool.
Anyways thanks for all the reviews and i'll try and finish up the story.
