Chapter 7

Brittany looked around the crowded airport as her and Gina picked up their luggage and looked for a car rental booth. She didn't really pay too much attention to all the people staring at her. Even while wearing normal jeans and black t-shirt with Magic Knight Rayearth on the front instead of the designer clothes she was found of, she was hot. That's why everybody was staring at her, after all, it couldn't be because of the pointy ears, tail and cheetah like fur could it?

"Brit', is it necessary to stay in your hybrid form?" Gina asked.

"Yep." Brittany smirked.

"Your drawing too much attention." Gina said.

"Gina, I need to stay this way to handle all those monsters that attack around here." Brittany said.

"I told you those were all rumors." Gina sighed.

The two settled on a small both that had a red ford mustang convertible on the poster behind the counter. 'Please get that one! Please, Please, PLEASE!' Kept running through her mind.

"Do you have any mustangs left?" Gina asked the short brunette girl in a black skirt and white blouse.

'YES!' Brittany mentally screamed. Then she realized they were speaking Japanese. Duh, they were in Japan now and would naturally have to speak Japanese now. Brittany frowned at that, she knew how to speak Japanese, she was fluent in it, it just annoyed her to have to speak it. It was annoying to have to talk in any other language than English, she just wasn't comfortable with doing it.

"Yes, would you like one?" the girl asked.

Brittany tuned out the rest of the conversation, instead she thought about what Brianna fiancé looked like. The girl refused to say much about him over the phone except that he was a very skilled martial artist. How good was he anyway, hopefully good enough to spar with.

"BRITTANY!" Gina snapped, interrupting Brittany's thoughts.

"Sheesh, you don't have to yell in my ear." Brittany growled.

"I've been trying to get your attention for five minutes!" Gina snapped, "Well, come on, the car's parked out here."

Brittany followed Gina out into a parking lot full of fairly new vehicles ranging from small cars to mini-vans. It didn't take long to find their mustang. Gina opened the trunk and unlocked the doors letting Brittany pile the luggage into the trunk and the back seat. She was a little disappointed when Gina got into the driver's seat.

"I'm glad we was able to find a car like this here." Gina said as Brittany got in the driver's side.

"Yeah, but I get to drive back." Brittany said.

"Sure," Gina said, "If you stay out of trouble."

"Me? Get into trouble?" Brittany said, a look of mock indignation across her face.

"Yes you." Gina said.

"Your no fun." Brittany sighed.

Brittany leaned against the door looking out the window as they drove through Tokyo, the city was kind of nice as the early morning sun filled the sky and shone down it.

The drive took about a half an hour during which Brittany dozed off and on. They finally entered Jubann and the car rolled up in front of a modest size house where Brianna was out front with a red headed girl who seemed to be fighting a panda. The panda itself actually looked like it knew martial arts which was surprising.

Brittany jumped out of the car and ran over to the panda grabbing it by the scruff of it's neck and threw it over her shoulder. The panda flipped through the air and landed on it's hind paws and held up a sign that read, [Don't interfere! The boy will marry Akane and unite the schools.]

"Who could teach a panda to write?" Gina asked, walking up to stand next to Brittany.

"That's my pops," the red headed girl said, "He wants me to marry some psycho girl."

"Well, tough!" Brianna said, "She's marrying me and there's nothing you can do about it!"

That was surprising, but not as surprising as the red haired girl jumping away from Brittany and behind Brianna with a shriek of primal terror. What was that all about?

"That's not a cat." Brianna said, trying to soothe the poor girl, "That's my sister Brittany."

Just as Brittany started to walk closer to the pair, a meow came from the red head's lips as she dropped to the ground on all fours. This red head was about to lose her head if she was making fun of Brittany!

The red head meowed again and jumped towards the panda, something like claws made of energy extending from her hands. The panda dodged the red head and took off running from the strange girl. The red head started to chase after the panda when Brianna called after her.

"Ranma!" Brianna cried.

Ranma looked back at Brianna then back at the retreating panda's form then back to Brianna. Finally, Ranma walked like a cat over to Brianna who kneeled down next to the girl in confusion. The red head curled up Brianna's lap and started purring.

"Jinkies!" Gina exclaimed, "What just happened?"

"Looks like you got a pet there." Brittany said said.

"That's not funny!" Brianna said, close to tears, "What's wrong with her?"

"Let's get her inside then we're figure that out." Gina said.

"Wait! You said you was going to marry her?!" Brittany said.

"It's a long story." Brianna groaned.

"What happened?" a female voice asked from behind Brittany.

Brittany thought the voice was familiar somehow as she slowly turned around and came face to face with her mother.

"MOM!" Brittany cried, throwing her arms around the woman.

"MOM!" Gina cried, following her sister's example.

"It's good to see you too." Julia gasped, "But could you please let up a little, I can't breathe."

"Sorry!" Brittany and Gina said, letting go of their mother.

"What happened?" another red headed woman asked.

The other woman hurried over by Brianna and Ranma and knelt down next to them. She was brushing the hair from Ranma's face, trying to comfort her.

"I don't know, one look at Brittany and this happened." Brianna said.

Brittany then noticed the smell of something not quite human coming from behind Julia and noticed a double stroller with two babies in it. Then she noticed Ranma's scent was close to the two children. What was they?

"It couldn't be!" Julia gasped, "Brittany, change back to human for now."

"But mom!" Brittany cried.

"No buts young lady," Julia said, "If I'm right, and I pray I'm not, your hybrid form is causing Ranma's reaction."

Reluctantly, Brittany shifted from her hybrid form to human and her senses and strength dulled with the change. She didn't like her human form as much as her hybrid form but didn't really have a choice.

"What do you mean?" Gina asked.

"I'll explain later after I've had a chance to talk to Ranma." Julia said.

Ranma woke up to find herself curled up on something lumpy but soft. She could see Julia off to the side talking to two blondes that looked kind of familiar, like she should know them. The twins was in their stroller next to Julia and Nodoka was knelling next to her and Brianna.

Brianna!? Ranma jumped up from Brianna's lap and looked at her fiancé to make sure there wasn't any injuries.

The last thing she remembered was pops showing up in panda form and demanded that Ranma return to the Tendo Dojo. The panda jerk blew his top when he found out Brianna was engaged to Ranma. He was attacking them when some cat woman showed up and Ranma blacked out.

"Are you all right?" Brianna askerd.

"What happened?" Nodoka asked.

"Was it the Neko-ken?" Julia asked.

Julia pushed the stroller up to the group along with the two blondes, one of them kept giving the twins and Ranma weird looks. The blonde was probably just worried about what just happened.

"How did you know?" Ranma asked.

"What kind of monster did that to you?" Julia asked.

"My stupid pops," Ranma explained, "He found this old training manual and didn't read the warnings for the Neko-ken before teaching it to mean."

"If I ever see that bastard," Julia swore, "I'll skin him alive."

"What's the Neko-ken?" Nodoka asked.

"You take somebody and wrap them in fish sausage then throw them into a pit of starving cats." Julia said, "It causes severe psychological trauma but creates an almost invincible martial arts technique."

Nodoka looked like she was going to be sick when she looked at Ranma.

"Did he really do that to you?" Nodoka asked, her voice neutral.

"Yes." Ranma said.

Nodoka grabbed Ranma in an embrace, tears falling down her face.

"I'm sorry." Nodoka cried, "I should never of let him take you!"

"It's okay mom." Ranma said, returning her mother's embrace, "It's not your fault."

"Let's take this inside." Julia said, motioning towards the house.

* * * * *

After he was sure the boy wasn't chasing him anymore, Genma stopped running and leaned against the building to catch his breath. He wasn't stupid, with the boy in neko, there was no way to defeat him.

How dare the ungrateful brat ruin all of his plans by going and get engaged to that gaijin slut! The boy would marry Akane and unite the schools if Genma had to kidnap him!

I came up with the idea for this story after reading Ranma and the Gemini by
fantasy_raan. The first chapter or two may resemble his story some, but after that, it'll be going off in a completely different direction.
