First Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to Love Hina, Ranma ½, Video Girl Ai or Sakura Diaries. This story is one of the many ideas I have in my brain. In this whole story, you will meet characters from other anime shows. However, with my limited knowledge of anime that I watch (it's about three or four other shows if you were wondering), I won't be putting a lot of characters. I will put disclaimers on them, but not in the first disclaimer of a chapter so you can be surprised about what characters show up! So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

New Faces And Dangers At The Hinata Sou: Secrets Revealed, part 1

Christmas Day is almost upon the residents of the Hinata Sou, but no one is really worry. Not only does everyone have their holiday shopping done, but they are almost finish decorating for their Christmas party. Everyone seems in the Christmas spirit as everyone does their own thing. Urara is in the kitchen cooking dinner; Ranma and Motoko are sparing on the baloney; Shinobu, Moemi, Mutsumi and Keitaro are playing hearts in the living room while across from them, Naru, Kitsune and Su are watching TV. All is quiet until the front door knocks. Not really interested in the show that she's watching, Kitsune gets up and heads for the door. When she opens it, she sees a girl with a black cat on her shoulder and a suitcase. "Can I help you miss?"

"I'm looking for my brother, Keitaro. Is he in there?" Kitsune gives the girl a confused look. He never mention that he has a sister before. But not many people knew that he's the manager here and he's been with them for over two years now. With no reason to stop her, she let her in. Once inside, Kitsune closes the door and lightly gripped the girl's free shoulder.

"Hey! Keitaro!" Everyone in the room stops what they're doing and looks over to her. "This girl claims to be your..."

"Kanako!" He jumps up and runs over to her, giving her a friendly and wild hand shake. "Kanako! It's been too long! What are you doing here?" After releasing his hand, she holds her head for a bit.

"Well, mom and dad left to go on a business trip to Mexico and I asked if I could spent Christmas with you."

"WOW! This is a big surprise." He turns around to see the girls staring at them. "Oh. Where are my matters? Everyone, this is my adopted sister, Kanako." She bows as he looks at his sister. "I see you already met Kitsune. Well, over at the couch, that Naru Narusegawa."

"Hi there." Waving her hand.

"Next to her is Kaolla Su."

"HEY! You have bananas?"

"SU!" Keitaro screams, waving his arms. "Anyway, over there is Shinobu Maehara."

"Hello."

"That's Moemi Hayakawa."

"Hello."

"And that's Mutsumi Otohime."

"Hello. Please to meet you."

"Likewise." Kanako says. "So, this is everyone?"

"No. There are a few more people who live here," Keitaro says as Urara pops out from the kitchen.

"What's going on here?

"Oh, Urara. This is my adopted sister, Kanako." She bows to her. "And Kanako, this is Urara Kasuga." She also bows as everyone hears screaming from upstairs. Before they could react, Motoko comes down the stairs, followed by Ranma, who is holding Tama.

"Damn you Ranma! Why do you always bring Tama to spar with us?

"Hehe...Hehe...Hey! You can't blame me this time. Tama flew from the roof."

"Yeah! Sure! Maybe you planted her there." Motoko turns to everyone. "Hey! Who's the new girl?"

"This is my adopted sister, Kanako." She bows. "And Kanako, this is Motoko Aoyama."

"Hey."

"And the one with Tama the turtle is Ranma Saotome." Her mouth is open, but nothing comes out as she points at her, shaking all over. "Ranma-chan, what's wrong?"

"C...CA...CAT!" She tosses Tama to the couch and runs upstairs, madly waving her arms.

"Does she have a problem with Lil Black?" Kanako asked as she notices everyone sweatdropping.

"We're not sure," Shinobu tells her. "None of us have every seen her like this and I'm her best friend here."

"Well, enough of this," Urara says. "I'm almost done with dinner. Kanako, why don't you put your bags away. I always make extra since Ranma can eat so much."

"Thank you." She turns towards her brother. "Keitaro? You have an extra room I can use?"

He looks a bit uneasy when asked that question. "I'm sorry, sis. But all the rooms are full."

"Oh no. Where can I sleep?" she asked as Motoko stares at her cat.

'Ranma looked frighten and sickly when she saw that cat' she thinks to herself. 'She acted just like I do whenever Tama's around. I wonder?' She raises her arm. "She can sleep with me in my room. I think it's big enough for the both of us."

"Well Kanako, what do you think?" Keitaro asked. At first, she gives an unpleasant look to the thought, but then smiles.

"Sure. I be glad to." She turns towards Motoko. "Thank you."

"Nothing to it." She grabs her bags as she leads Kanako to her room.

The next day, everyone is out of the Hinata Sou, doing their own thing. Everyone, except for Motoko, who is in her room with Lil Black. She's trying to get the cat from under the guest bed and have it play with her, so it will get used to her. Unfortunately, the cat doesn't want to come out and play.

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty!" She says, trying her best to grab the cat. "Come out and play with..." She feels the nails of the cat scratches her arm. "OWWW!" She gets her arm out from under her bed and runs to get some tissue on her dresser. "Damn you stupid cat."

"Who are you calling stupid?" Motoko freezes out of fear and quickly scans the room. She sees no one and the door is locked from the inside. Curious, she goes on her belly near the bed.

"You stupid cat." Immediately, Lil Black comes out from it's hiding spot and attacks Motoko. But she grabs the cat by the side as the cat swing her claws towards her face.

"Don't call me stupid." Motoko couldn't believe her she just heard.

"You...You...talk?"

"Yeah. What's wrong with that?" She drops Lil Black and runs around the room, screaming at the top of her lungs.

"OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" Lil Black jumps from the ground and lands on Motoko's shoulders.

"Stop screaming! You're giving me a headache." Motoko collects herself and calms down. "Good. Now what do you want with me?"

"I want to test a theory on Ranma." She gives an evil smile as the cat jumps off her shoulders and onto the dresser.

"Sorry girl. I don't feel like it."

"What?! How come?"

"Like I said. I don't feel like it."

"Don't make me tell your secret to everyone here. Who knows what they might do to you?"

"They'll do nothing because I won't slip up like I did with you. They'll think you're crazy and probably send you to a mental institution!" Motoko thinks over her situation. She knows that no one is here to witness this. Kanako must know that her cat talks, but may denial the fact. Suddenly, she gets an idea.

"Oh. Everyone will now know that you can talk, whether or not you slip up in front of them." She storms out of her room and leaves the Hinata Sou. She returns a few hours later and see that everyone came back. Everyone, except Kanako as she heads towards her room. When she opens the open, she's bewilder to see Moemi, holding Lil Black. Confused, she takes her sword out and points it at her. "Who are you?"

"What?! Motoko. It's me. Moemi."

"That's impossible! I just saw Moemi in the living room playing hearts a minute ago." The fake-Moemi sweatdrops as Motoko make a charge at her. The cat jumps out and starts to attack, but Motoko grabs the cat. "You stupid cat."

"Don't call me stupid!"

"Yeah! Don't call my cat stupid!" Motoko realizes what the fake-Moemi just said. With her free arm, she puts her in a headlock. The fake-Moemi pushes and sends her flying across the room. But Motoko held on so tight that something came off. She looks in her hand and see a mask. She then looks at the fake-Moemi to realize that it was Kanako.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"I...I...LOOK! Why did you call my cat stupid?"

"Because when I call your cat that, it's speaks. Now that I have a witness, I can blackmail that cat to help me out."

"Don't think you got it that easy. I just can denial that and..." She hears a loud click that makes her stop. She sees Motoko smiling and pulls out something out of her jeans. She pushes a button as they hear the cat speaking. She then pushes another button and makes it stop.

"Now...Are you two going to help me or should I just send this cat to scientific experiments?" Kanako rushes to her cat and holds it tight.

"NO! Don't harm Lil Black. I'll do anything you want. Just don't harm my cat," she cries. Motoko gives an evil smile.

"Good. That's good because I think you can help me finally defend Ranma!"

It's Christmas Eve as Ranma looks out her window and sees the white snow that had been falling down since the night before. She would love to go out to the front of the apartments and make a snowman or a fort to have a snowball fight, but she sit in her room, reading a note that Kanako gave her after dinner:

Ranma-

The time for sparing is over. Meet me on the baloney tomorrow at three for the fight of your life.

- Motoko

'What are you up to?' she thinks as the clock is about to strike three. She gets up and leaves her room, heading towards the baloney. During her long walk, all she can think about was the time they spared together the day before the tournament, when she split her sword. Once she climbs to the baloney, she notices Motoko having her back to her. Ranma takes a deep breath before speaking. "All right Motoko. You wanted a fight? I'll give you a fight." Motoko turns around holding her stomach. "Hey. Are you OK?"

"Poor Ranma," she says, slowly walking towards her. "I thought that you'd bring at least a weapon. You know that you'll finally be defeated"

"I can defeat anyone without a weapon." Suddenly, Motoko charges her

"True. But I doubt anyone used this as a weapon to defeat you!" She stops two feet away from bumping into her, thrusting her weapon. Ranma closes her eyes. When she realizes that it hadn't hit her, she opens them and see Lil Black. She panics and slowly starts to back away. Motoko notices this and moves forward along with her. They only do this until Ranma feels something sharp piercing her back before reaching the steps. She quickly turns around to see Motoko holding her blade.

"What the?! They're two of you?"

"Not really," says Motoko who is holding the sword. "The one with Lil Black is Kanako. I asked her to help me defeat you." Ranma turns towards Kanako, who already pulled off her mask.

"By bring that darn cat?"

"Why...yes. I was wondering if you are afraid of cats when Kanako first appeared and you freaked. Seeing you back away from her just now approves it!" Motoko points to Ranma with her sword. "Admit it! You have a weakness like me. And it's cats! Now, I'll defeat". With the back of her blade, she attacks her, but Ranma jump out of the way and bounding out the door. Kanako follows her while Motoko jumps off the baloney and lands on the edge of the hot springs. She rushes in and see everyone else decorating the tree. She hears loud footsteps above her and blast up the stairs. She sees Ranma turning a corner, followed by Kanako. She runs towards Ranma and fore-checks her to the wall, leaving her dazed. Kanako hurries over to them and place her cat in Ranma's face. She struggles, but Kanako is sitting on her and is too shocked to do lifted her off. After a few minutes, Ranma stops struggling. Motoko comes to them, pointing her sword at Ranma. "Sorry it wasn't much of a fight, but you must admit that I beat you. Now admit it!" She looks into Ranma's glassily eyes for a few seconds before she speaks.

"Meow..." Before either of them could reacts, she sends Kanako flying to the ceiling and knocks down Motoko's blade. She gets up in a cat like stance. She hisses at Motoko, who is frighten.

"Ranma? Ranma? Are you all right?" She backs away slowly. Ranma continues to hiss and is about to attack, but jumps back as Kanako falls from the ceiling. She slowly picks herself up and sees Ranma staring at her. By her look, Kanako can tell that Ranma is about to attack her. She slowly inches back towards Motoko. Once she gets to the side of her, Ranma let's out a battle cry before shooting herself towards them. Both girls make a mad dash down the stairs, followed by Ranma.

"Look out!" Kanako says out loud. "Ranma went nuts!" They both see Ranma lurch herself from the stairs and towards them. They both move out of the way, but Su was behind them and gets knocked down. After a few tumbles, she gets up into her and launches herself towards Keitaro. She nails him good in the chest and uses her arms like claws to knock him out on the head. She turns to see everyone gather pretty closely and lurches herself towards them. Before she can reach any of them, Motoko kicks her and sends her flying into a wall.

"That's it Saotome!" Motoko takes her sword out and points to Ranma. "You will not hurt anyone else. I started this mess with you and I'm sure hells going to finish it!" She dashes towards her and strikes when she's close enough. She thought that Ranma would move where the other residents would be out of harms way, but instead, Ranma attacks as the sword nearly hits her. 'What are you doing? I don't want to...huh?' Motoko looks at her sword and sees it's shredder. She wouldn't be surprised if this was one of her wooden swords, but she was using one of the sharpest swords she had. Distracted, Ranma jumps over and kicks her from behind, as she rushes over to the other residents. They all scatter around as Ranma picks them off one by one. First, she knocks Urara into the dining room; then she bumps Naru into Kanako on the couch. Kitsune dodges one of the attacks, but runs herself into the Christmas tree. Moemi tries the bring the unconscious residents into the dining room as Shinobu tries to revive Keitaro.

"Sempai! Sempai! Wake up!" Shinobu shakes him wildly. "Wake up Sempai! We don't know what to do with Ranma-chan." Su regains consciousness and summons an army of robotic Tamas. One by one, Ranma destroys them as more take it's place.

"Uhhh...What hit me?" Keitaro holds his head and looks around. "Shinobu! What's going on?"

"Ranma went mad and is attacking anyone at sight." They both hear a screaming noise. They turn to the direction of the noise, where they see Ranma jumping towards them. They both duck, barely being hit. As they see her flying over the couch, the front door opens and in pops someone, unaware that Ranma is about to attack them.
