InterLycanthropy
Chapter1
As Brianna comes into the room she sees Brittany just sitting there with her jaw hanging open
while staring out the window.
"Hey Brit, you waiting for flies to enter or what?"
"Boy… piano… boy…. Lift ….. boy….. "
"Huh?"
"MMMMMM BEEFY!"
Brianna could tell by the glazed eyes and drool that she wasn't going to get anymore
information out of her sister and decided to see what she was looking at.
"Ok, I admit the mover is a little cute, but if he gets that reaction out of you, you must be
getting desperate."
Right after she looked away from the window Ranma came back out of the house to see his
mother thanking the movers and giving them a generous tip.
"Well that's the last of it Ranma, lets go unpack."
"Hai Okasan."
"RANMA, speak English. We're not in Japan and it would be rude to not speak the
native language."
"Obkb Ranma speak too too good English, yes."
Nodoka then glared at him.
"Okay okay, I was just kidding. I'll speak English from now on."
'Just wish everybody back home knew how much I was holding back, they'd probably have a
fit if they knew how much I really know. I guess I won't have to act like a dumb jock anymore
since I'm away from the panda.'
Ranma takes a deep breath and looks towards the Digger's mansion before heading inside his
new home.
……………………………………
Back to the Diggers……
'God I can't wait to see him without a shirt if he can lift that thing by himself, I have to be in
hybrid form to do it. I bet he has great abs, a tight little toosh, and a long....'
(a/n: Gimme a break, I'm a guy, I don't know if girls really think like that.)
"Huh?"
"Helloooo, Earth to Brittany, the Martians have eaten your brain."
"Oh my god, you aren't going to believe what I just saw. We have this new neighbor who is
super cute and there was this piano that the movers were having trouble with and he walked
over and picked it up and moved it inside and I was like mmm beefy and"
Brianna sweat drops while developing a staring at Brittany. "Brittany, you're babbling, quit
it..... Ok, so he can pickup his keyboard, so what?"
"Nuh uh, not keyboard. Piano. El GRANDE.... Uh Brianna.... wipe your mouth."
"Ok, let me get this straight, he can pickup a grand piano." Brittany nods. "BY HIMSELF?!?!"
Again Brittany nods. Brianna looks at Brittany and how she's dressed, then to herself.
"I gotta go change."
Brittany grabs her arm as she's about to dash out and pulls her back down.
"Oh no you don't, I saw him first. He's mine. This is just what I need after catching Stripe
cheating on me with that slut so I don't want you ruining it.
If you go after him I SWEAR I will go cheetah on your arse so bad that you won't be able to
get out of bed for a week."
"o ok." 'Damn, he must really be something to get that kind of reaction.... Dammit dammit
dammit.'
……………………………………
After unpacking everything Ranma decided to get a few katas in before dinner. Once he was in
the backyard he realized that his new home had no dojo and he would have to practice
outside.
'Feh, a dojo is too limiting anyways.'
After doing two basic katas as a warm up he released his aura and started doing advanced
katas faster and faster. Pretty soon he was just a blur to normal human eyes.
This brought the attention of three people. The first was Brittany,who was already watching
from her window and was now just drooling up a storm. The second was Julia, who sensed a
battle aura and grew curious due to the power of the aura. The third was Dr. Diggers, who felt
the power of the aura and some unknown magic nearby.
The first to come out was Julia. As the Arms Master she felt she had to protect her family from
any threat, if it was indeed a threat. She followed the aura to the backyard where she finally
caught sight of Ranma. She dropped her jaw as some of the things he did were a blur even to
her.
'Whoa, I haven't seen anyone this good on Earth before. I wonder who he is.'
Luckily she wouldn't have to wait long as he had sensed her a long time ago and was just
finishing up his kata.
"Hello. I guess I'm your new neighbor, Julia Diggers."
Ranma had been able to feel her since he got on the street so he knows that she is very
powerful. While at first he was worried about being attacked, he realizes that she is not
emitting a malicious aura, but one that he is more known for. Fun of the fight.
"Ranma Talbain, sorry about this."
"Nothing to be sorry for. I see you're a fighter, what style do you use?"
"It's mostly the Anything Goes style, but recently I've been making my own since adding
Amazon Wu Shu, Musk, and Phoenix styles."
"Amazon… You been to Jade?"
"Nope, haven't been there yet. These are from China."
"Oh, well how about a friendly spar then?"
After a short internal debate of what his pop told him compared to personal experience with
Amazons and what his mother has been pounding into his head 'literally grumble grumble' for
the past week he realizes that she is quite powerful and will give him a pretty good spar.
"Thought you'd never ask." Ranma said with a smirk.
About this time Dr. Diggers finally tracked the magic and aura to the backyard where it looked
like his wife was going to spar with the new neighbor kid. As he got in a good position to
watch, Brittany came up beside him wanting to get a better view of this match.
"Wow, I hope mom doesn't hurt him too much. Of course I'll have to nurse him back to health
if he gets hurt."
"I wouldn't worry too much about him, I'm sensing a very strong aura in this boy. I can sense
that he has a good heart as well. There's something else, but I'm getting interference from
something, so I can't figure out what it is."
Brittany managed to look surprised and a little disappointed at the thought that someone may
be able to match her mother and that she wouldn't be needed to nurse him back to health. Of
course which thought got which reaction is hard to tell.
(a/n: I suck at fight scenes, so you may want to skip this part…)
**Begin Fight Scene**
Back in Ranma's backyard the two combatants were staring at each other trying to find any
weaknesses. Julia was in an offensive stance, while Ranma was in his trademark no stance
stance. Julia finally gave up trying to find a weakness and cautiously attacked with a simple
punch kick combo that was easily blocked even if it was faster than most humans can see.
"Wow, look at him go! I didn't think anyone could keep up with mom at that speed. They're
almost going faster than my cheetah speed."
"Yes, that worries me a little. If he can beat Julia, what can stop him?"
The two combatants broke apart at an unspoken signal.
"This is more fun than I've had in a while. Well I guess it is time to up the ante." Julia said
while launching a ki blast at Ranma
(a/n: I don't know any of her attacks, anybody help me out here?)
Ranma franticly dodged the blast while returning one of his own. "MOUKO TOUKABISHA"
He then saw her easily dodge his trademark blast and return yet another blast at him.
"Ok, try this one for size. Mouko Toukabisha revised: SEEKER BLAST."
Julia dodged this one as well, but was surprised when it turned around and came back at her.
While she kept dodging the blast, Ranma enveloped himself in the Umi-sen-ken and snuck up
behind her. As he let go of the Umi-sen-ken, Brit called out.
"MOM LOOK OUT!"
Julia didn't sense him fast enough as he hit her sleep point and willed the ki blast that was
chasing her to be reabsorbed into his body as he caught her before she hit the ground.
**End Fight Scene**
Ranma turned as he heard clapping from behind him.
"Good show, and I thank you for not harming my wife."
"Thanks, and no problem. I'm Ranma Talbain, your new neighbor."
"Theodore Diggers the name, nice to meet you. The name sounds familiar, have you been to
Georgia before?"
"Can't say I have, and I only recently found out my real last name is Talbain before it was
Saotome."
At this Brittany cut in. "Wait, you mean THE Ranma Saotome, the best martial artist this side
of Jade?!? Known to fight demons, dragons, and most recently killed a god! THAT RANMA
SAOTOME?!?!?!"
"One and only, but how did you know about that?"
"My sister's boytoy has posters of your covering his wall, not to mention every issue of
"Martial Artists Monthly." They have an entire section devoted to following you around. The
articles are written by a N. Tendo."
"Nabiki, it figures. Man am I glad I got away from them."
It was finally too much for poor Brit to take as she proceeded to pass out and fall conveniently
into the martial artist's free arm right next to her mother.
"Haha, well it seems that you have mother and daughter in hand. Here let me take my wife,
and if you could help me by bringing my daughter along it would be appreciated."
As Dr. Diggers went into the house Ranma gently picked Brittany up with one arm beneath her
knees and the other around her back. He had just started to move when she snuggled further
into his embrace with a contented smile on her face.
'HE'S SO MANLY!' Came from the Ranma cheering section inside the Talbain home.
……………………………………
In the Diggers' mansion…
"You can set her down over there on the couch. " Dr. Diggers told Ranma as he set Julia in the
chair next to it.
He feels reluctant to set her down but proceeds to with the gentlest touch. As he's bringing his
arms from underneath her, he gets his arm out from under her knees when she stirs and
opens her eyes only to look directly into the deepest blue-gray pools she had ever seen. They
both get lost in each other's gazes while only being able to think about the person right in
front of them. Their breathing was starting to get deeper as their faces got closer and closer.
Ranma could feel her breath on his lips when they were broken out of their trance by a cough.
"Ah-hem. If you two are done, why don't we have some tea?" Dr. Diggers said with a slight
glare and went to the kitchen to prepare some tea. 'I can see from his aura that he has a good
heart and won't hurt her if he can help it, but he better stay away from her all the same. I just
wish I could figure out what is behind the interference in his aura.'
"Su-sure." Ranma replied while scratching the base of his pigtail with his free hand and
blushing almost as red as his favorite shirt as he followed with Brittany in tow.
As Ranma and Brittany enter Dr. Diggers was about to put the kettle full of water on the stove
when Ranma's curse and Murphy's Law came into effect. This being Dr. Diggers tripped and
the kettle emptied its contents and ended up only getting Ranma wet.
Brittany stared wide eyed as Ranma changes into Ranma-chan.
"Aw man, I was hopin I could ease ya into this."
Dr. Diggers saw the change and the distortion in Ranma's aura finally made sense.
"Jusenkyo I presume?"
"You know of Jusenkyo?"
"Yes, we know all about Jusenkyo. Since it's obvious that you know of magic I can tell you
this. I am an aura mage and I study magic in the world. I've been trying to get a reading on
your aura but it is distorted due to the interference of the Jusenkyo magic."
"One more thing to add to my list of problems… Stupid Jusenkyo."
They finally look to see Brittany still gawking at Ranma, said gawkee then snapped his fingers
in front of her face a few times.
"Hellooooooo" He said to try and get her attention.
"Damn he's hot as a girl too." She said dazedly while coming out of her stupor. She doesn't
usually go for girls, but living with a rakhishi has desensitized her a little bit to that boundary
since she already knows that even though the body may change, the person doesn't. As she
focuses on the face of the person in front of her, she notices that it's a very red Ranma-chan.
"I said that out loud didn't I?"
Ranma nods his head in small motions while trying to calm his blush. Brittany on the other
hand starts to get into a blush war while Dr. Diggers begins his glare at Ranma once again.
'Guess I better find out more about this little punk.'
"Well now why don't you tell us a little about yourself since we have to wait for the water to
boil anyways?"
Ranma agrees, thankful for the distraction, and proceeds to tell them an abbreviated version
of his life, skipping over the Neko-ken and werewolf bits. About mid way the kettle whistled
and he changed back to his male form and they had tea while he finished his story.
By the end of it the two Diggers and the one that joined mid way after regaining
consciousness were shocked that anyone would do that to their son and that the young man in
front of them isn't a murderous psycho.
'Wow, I can't believe he's been through all that and still has a good and gentle heart. Maybe
he is good enough for my little Cheetah. He certainly needs someone to be there for him, just
like Cheetah does right now.' Thought Theo.
'IF I EVER SEE THAT BASTARD I WILL SHOW HIM WHAT AN ARMSMASTER OF JADE CAN DO.'
Came from the newly revived Julia.
'Oh my god, you poor thing. I'll make you feel all better from now on. And we will have to
show that son of a bitch what it means to have someone go cheetah on ya.' Was the thought
going through Cheetah's mind.
Well it's getting dark now so I better go home. I'm sure my mom's got dinner ready by now.
……………………………………
It's a week later and the Diggers family has all started to like their new neighbors. Ranma and
Britt getting closer and closer. They are now watching a movie while cuddling in front of the
couch.
"Ya know it's funny, back home I would be running away from something like this."
"Oh, why is that?" inquired Brittany.
"Before Nerima I had barely had any friends or contacts outside of the instructors I was
learning from, and almost none of those were girls. So when I got to Nerima just after getting
my curse, then getting engaged to a girl who would beat me just for looking at her funny I
was kind of weary about girls in general." 'She took my curse pretty well, I wonder if I should
tell her about everything.'
"Well, I'm glad you got over it cause you are just too comfy." She said as she snuggled closer
into his embrace. 'I wonder if I should tell him.'
Author's notes…..
**new notes
Sorry I took so long. Part of it was writer's block, the rest was due to the fact that this is my
last quarter of college. So we've got this major project that's supposed to use everything
we've learned so far. Unfortunately this takes up most of the time I have outside of work and
school. But it'll only be slow till June. That's when I graduate. After that I hope to be able to
update on a regular basis.
Thanks for the reviews and tips.
I'd especially like to thank dogbertcarroll for his insight into the characters. If yall remember
my first post of this story you've probably noticed the changes in it. Most of the changes was
due to the insights from this person's review.
I'm also trying to add more substance to the fic now. Which I hope you all noticed. I'm still a
newbie to this, so it may take a while before I can write a well rounded fic, but I am working
on it.
** old notes
Ok, it was pointed out that Brit couldn't control her change until after she met
Stripe, so how about this? She met the guy, but they had a falling out. I
already admitted that I haven't been able to find "Gold Diggers" here yet,
so any help is appreciated. On that note, can Brit cook?
I'm told that things are going by too fast, my bad. As I've said before, this is
my first time writing, so I have things to work out. I may redo a few scenes
in my first chapter after I get better at it. Besides, that was the
prologue, I like prologues that are shorter than normal chapters and are a
little vague. Then elaborate in the chapters. I admit he was a little too
trusting about the potion and the changing, so that will probably change.
But other stuff, like that week to get to America, will probably come out in flashbacks
. I should have explained the way I write. Just like at work, I
can't plan things. If I get an idea in my head I just go with it. So that's
how my story is written. I do go back and rework a few things afterwards,
but there are no notes or an outline. So even I can't tell you what is going
to happen next chapter. About the only thing I have planned for this story
is that Ranma and Brit get together, and then find out the truth about each
other.... oh what can happen... hehe.
Oh yeah, as for Ranma's emotion about Genma not being his pop. I was
thinking, well if that arse did that to me, I'd be happy if I found out he
wasn't my dad.
Yes I used the Talbain name from Darkstalkers, but that is the only thing I will
be using from it.
Oh, and I don't own Darkstalkers, so don't hurt me. I'm poor enough as it
is.
This story came to me from reading "The Beast Within." I thought, kewl, a
werewolf Ranma. Haven't seen that before. Kinda like the werecheetahs.....
hmmmm....

behind her. As he let go of the Umi-sen-ken, Brit called out.
"MOM LOOK OUT!"
Julia didn't sense him fast enough as he hit her sleep point and willed the ki blast that was
chasing her to be reabsorbed into his body as he caught her before she hit the ground.

Well it's getting dark now so I better go home. I'm sure my mom's got dinner ready by now.
……………………………………
It's a week later and the Diggers family has all started to like their new neighbors. Ranma and
Britt getting closer and closer. They are now watching a movie while cuddling in front of the
couch.
"Ya know it's funny, back home I would be running away from something like this."
"Oh, why is that?" inquired Brittany.
"Before Nerima I had barely had any friends or contacts outside of the instructors I was
learning from, and almost none of those were girls. So when I got to Nerima just after getting
my curse, then getting engaged to a girl who would beat me just for looking at her funny I
was kind of weary about girls in general." 'She took my curse pretty well, I wonder if I should
tell her about everything.'
"Well, I'm glad you got over it cause you are just too comfy." She said as she snuggled closer
into his embrace. 'I wonder if I should tell him.'
Author's notes…..
**new notes
Sorry I took so long. Part of it was writer's block, the rest was due to the fact that this is my
last quarter of college. So we've got this major project that's supposed to use everything
we've learned so far. Unfortunately this takes up most of the time I have outside of work and
school. But it'll only be slow till June. That's when I graduate. After that I hope to be able to
update on a regular basis.
Thanks for the reviews and tips.
I'd especially like to thank dogbertcarroll for his insight into the characters. If yall remember
my first post of this story you've probably noticed the changes in it. Most of the changes was
due to the insights from this person's review.
I'm also trying to add more substance to the fic now. Which I hope you all noticed. I'm still a
newbie to this, so it may take a while before I can write a well rounded fic, but I am working
on it.

Ok, it was pointed out that Brit couldn't control her change until after she met
Stripe, so how about this? She met the guy, but they had a falling out. I
already admitted that I haven't been able to find "Gold Diggers" here yet,
so any help is appreciated. On that note, can Brit cook?
I'm told that things are going by too fast, my bad. As I've said before, this is
my first time writing, so I have things to work out. I may redo a few scenes
in my first chapter after I get better at it. Besides, that was the
prologue, I like prologues that are shorter than normal chapters and are a
little vague. Then elaborate in the chapters. I admit he was a little too
trusting about the potion and the changing, so that will probably change.
But other stuff, like that week to get to America, will probably come out in flashbacks
. I should have explained the way I write. Just like at work, I
can't plan things. If I get an idea in my head I just go with it. So that's
how my story is written. I do go back and rework a few things afterwards,
but there are no notes or an outline. So even I can't tell you what is going
to happen next chapter. About the only thing I have planned for this story
is that Ranma and Brit get together, and then find out the truth about each
other.... oh what can happen... hehe.
Oh yeah, as for Ranma's emotion about Genma not being his pop. I was
thinking, well if that arse did that to me, I'd be happy if I found out he
wasn't my dad.
Yes I used the Talbain name from Darkstalkers, but that is the only thing I will
be using from it.
Oh, and I don't own Darkstalkers, so don't hurt me. I'm poor enough as it
is.
This story came to me from reading "The Beast Within." I thought, kewl, a
werewolf Ranma. Haven't seen that before. Kinda like the werecheetahs.....
hmmmm....
