To the End of the Moon! (And Over the Edge)


Kagato Taiteki:

Before we start the NEWEST chapter of TTEOTM(AOTE) I'd like to clarify
something, here. I'm not Gutless. I just wanted to see how the God of
Cannon-Fodder handles editing.. and removal of screen names.. and
stuff.

While I diligently work on newest part of ToTH, I'll use my writers-
block-induced free-time to create.. THIS. So.. enjoy..


Tannim Murphy:

Since I got to write all the notes last time, Kagato (yes, that's who
the Mysterious Co-Author REALLY is) decided he wanted to have 'his'
notes go before mine this time around. Sure, that's okay with me.
However, he also stipulated that I was to, in no way, edit these
notes.

Yes, you heard me right. It's the real Kagato shining through.

Oh, the God of Cannon Fodder thing? Part of another SI, if you check
my other fics.

Go read them, and leave reviews.


Begin Part Two

"Kasumi? Is that my name?"

Ranma was the first to be able to speak.

"I dunno, is it?"

A quick fist to the face was all he got for his troubles.

"Ranma, you idiot," muttered Akane, fist still embedded in Ranma's
face.

The girl on the bed just watched, and scratched her head in worry.
Who were these people? Where was she? And Why did she feel like that
'Ranma' character was better than... something?

"Kasumi! Tell your father, what DO you remember?" cried Soun.

A voice came not from the girl on the bed, but from behind the aging
martial artist. "I put the poor girl in my bed, and then went to
sleep on the couch, father."

Soun froze. Then, he turned to look behind him where Kasumi, the REAL
Kasumi stood. "KASUMI! You're old again! Your poor father was so
worried!" cried Soun happily, clutching his daughter in a tight hug.
A moment later he whirled around to face the imposter.

"WHO ARE YOU, TRYING TO CONFUSE AND HURT THIS HOUSEHOLD?!" Soun
bellowed, Demon Head style.

A piercing scream suddenly split the air. Not only did it immediately
affect everyone in the room, it caused a chain reaction that ended up
with every dog in Tokyo howling at once. For months later, people
would talk about the Day of All That Damned Noise.

The sonic attack was too much for the Demon Head, and Soun quickly
stopped so as to clutch his ears along with everyone else.

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Finally, Kasumi spoke up.

"Oh my."

Unfortunately, with their blown eardrums, nobody could really hear it.


Just a slight buzzing.

---

Hours later, when everyone's hearing returned...

"Waaaaaaah!"

...they wished it hadn't.

"I don't know! I just woke up and-"

For they had to listen to this strange girl whine.

"-then this old guy came in-"

It was not a pleasant sound.

"-and then there was this scary monster and-"

In fact, Ranma was just about ready to do something about the sound
when fate intervened.

"RANMA! PREPARE TO DIE!"

The door to the next room over was heard opening. Moments later, a
confused "huh? Where'd he go?" could be heard.

Everyone in the room sweatdropped, except for the strange girl who was
wondering why nobody was listening to her story anymore, and Kasumi,
who was mentally trying to figure just 'how' much food she needed to
prepare this morning.

Finally, a few minutes of heavy stomping later, Ryouga burst into the
correct room by process of elimination.

"Ahah! I found you Ranma! Because of you, I've seen hell!"

Ranma stared at Ryouga with an exasperated look. Sarcastically, he
asked, "How did you see hell this time? Plane? By bus? Guided
tour?"

"Grr... how DARE you mock me." replied Ryouga while watching Ranma get
in a loose fighting stance.

"Umm... excuse me?" asked the strange girl.

Ranma glanced back at the girl, then toward Ryouga. "Aw, c'mon, man.
I don't have time for this right now. We've got some crazy chick
here-"

"I am not crazy!" interjected said chick.

"-who is whinier than Akane-"

Twin voices of "I do NOT whine!" were heard as Akane and the girl
spoke in unison.

"-and can't even remember her name," finished Ranma.

"That's what I've been TRY-ING, to TELL you! I think I remember my
name!"

Everyone froze at this pronouncement. Even Ryouga, who had just
wandered in on the scene, was curious as to the identity of this new
girl.

"Go on," urged Soun. "Tell us."

"It's... Bunny!" the girl, now Bunny, chirped happily.

"Did she just chirp?" asked Nabiki incredulously.

"Well... it's not like bunnies make any noise," said Ranma, not
catching the rhetorical sense of the question.

Ryouga just looked at the girl, then shrugged. "RANMA! PREPA-" he
began, charging toward his foe, but was cut off by Ranma kicking him
out the window.

Through the broken glass, they heard a splash, then a squealing that
slowly vanished over the horizon.

Nabiki, Soun, Genma, Kasumi, and EXPECIALLY Ranma stared, at Akane.

"What...? Hey! Wait a minute..." said Akane, anger flashing in her
eyes.

Everyone held their breath...

"Ranma, you jerk! Why did you break a perfectly good window? Do you
know how much those cost?!"

...and let it out again.

"What was that about?" asked Bunny, too confused to really start
worrying about important things, like where the food was. Luckily,
someone else remembered for her.

"Why don't we all go down and have a nice breakfast? That's sure to
clear things up!" proclaimed Genma, who knew exactly where his
priorities lay.

---

A couple minutes later, everyone was sitting down to eat...

"So... you're Bunny, and that's all you can remember?" asked Akane
suspiciously.

Bunny's forehead scrunched up as she tried to concentrate.

"No... I remember..."

Everyone leaned forward in their seats.

"Um... Ah..."

"Yes? What is it?" asked Soun excitedly.

"Ranma!" exclaimed Bunny as she turned toward the pig-tailed martial
artist.

"STUPID PERVERT! IT IS ANOTHER FIANCE!" shouted Akane, jumping to the
most likely conclusion and determined to get in a pre-emptive strike.
She smashed Ranma into the floor with a handy table.

"I was just going to ask him to pass the rice..." said Bunny, tearing
up. "But... you... you killed him! WAAAAAAAAH! And my food is
spilled all over the place!"

Everyone else had predicted the outburst, and acted accordingly.

"Here, Bunny, you can have some of mine," offered Kasumi.

Bunny accepted the food cheerfully. "Thanks!"

Nabiki rolled her eyes at the quick mood change, before digging back
into her own food.

Anonymous... or something.. yeah.. " -Kagato.


Tannim: Yes, folks, Kagato really /does/ do grammar this poorly. Now
you can all sympathize with me on how hard it is to catch each and
every mistake. _
