Nabiki smiled like a moron as she finished the can of tuna off. She didn't notice, but she was purring.
"Well," Brittany said, "Looks like Nabs' gonna be fine."
"Nabs?" Nabiki asked.
Suddenly, Shampoo and Brianna charged into the room.
"Who's eating tuna!" The both asked at the same time.
Akane's eyes snapped open.
"NRAAAAGH!" She yelled as she sat up
She looked around the room to see a blonde, really tall girl with glasses who looked quite confused.
"Uh…" Gina said.
"Where am I!" Akane asked, still angry.
"My lab," Gina said as Akane stood up walked over to her. Gina used her feet to propel her wheeled chair away from the slightly psychotic psudo-werewolf.
"Where's Ranma?" Akane snarled.
"Should be with Brittany and Nabiki right now," Gina said, not knowing that she had just lit the fuse of a nuclear bomb.
"NRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Akane barreled out of the lab.
Gina just stared in shock.
She was also slightly glad she had put some clothes on the patients before hand.
Rhys, Brittany, and Nabiki's ears flicked as the sound of Akane's primal roar came to them. Nabiki yipped and grabbed her ears.
"What?" Rhys asked.
"That felt weird!" Nabiki said.
"Get used to it," Brittany said, "They're cat ears, and they'll do that a lot."
"I can't believe this," Nabiki said, "I always thought all the weird things would happen to YOU."
"Hmph," Rhys said, smirking, "Can't help it if I'm curious."
"Yeah well," Nabiki said, "You know what they say."
"Curiosity killed the cat, yeah yeah," Rhys said, "You're a cat now too, you kn…"
They all froze as Akane dashed by. They all stared at the door. They heard a screeching sound and a small crash. Akane then reappeared in the doorway a moment later. She glared at the three werecheetahs in front of her.
"Ranma!" Akane yelled in anger, staring at Rhys, she glanced to thee two other cheetahs, "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Brittany. Rhys, or as you call him Ranma, is my brother."
"And you?" Akane asked the other cheetah that wasn't looking at her.
"Um…" The cheetah turned around.
Akane's eyes went wide, "Na… Na…"
"Hey, Sis," Nabiki smiled wearily.
Theo and Julia watched as the angry girl chased the only (usually) male werecheetah out into the yard.
"RANMA!" Akane yelled, "What did you do to my sister?"
Theo looked at Julia, who shrugged. They then followed the two outside.
Rhys was flowing through Akane's sloppy attacks easily, though not as easily as before Akane got pumped full of werecreature DNA.
"Yo, Akane," Rhys said, "My name isn't Ranma. It's Rhys."
"I don't care what your name is!" Akane yelled, "What did you do to my sister?"
"Probably saved her life," Rhys said, ducking under a flew more blows "And I intend to save yours."
"Me!" Akane asked, "Save me from WHAT!"
"The DNA that was pumped into your body," Rhys said, "Or did you not notice that you have a tail."
Akane paused. She looked behind her, before she started to shake.
"You okay?" Rhys asked.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" Akane started attacking even faster now.
"Whoa, I didn't do nothing!" Rhys yelled, "That damn midget did! You remember? That little guy?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Akane yelled in rage.
"That midget pumped you full of my DNA and Ryoga's DNA," Ranma said, "You're part werecheetah and part werewolf. Nabiki was the same. I had to do that or she'd have died."
"Liar!" Akane asked.
"Look, are you gonna calm down, or am I gonna have to do it for you?" Rhys asked. She was getting annoyed.
"Akane," Nabiki's voice called, "Just calm down, he's telling the truth."
"Stay out of…" Akane was cut short as Rhys attacked. A small bang told everyone how fast the attack was. Akane simply stared as Rhys sprouted long claws from her fingertips and slashed her lightly on the face. Rhys then jumped backwards.
Akane's hand flashed up to the wound. She pulled her hand away too see that there was blood on her fingers. She also saw that her fingers were covered in fur.
Akane turned her now furry hand over to see the yellow fur that had brown streaks throughout it. She then passed out.
"You got her?" Akane heard Rhys' voice.
"Yeah," Ryoga's voice came from behind her. Akane then noticed that someone was holding her arms.
"What… Ranma!" Akane yelled, seeing the aforementioned boy.
"It's Rhys, not Ranma," the werecheetah said.
"What did you do to me?" Akane asked.
"Akane, chill," Nabiki said. Akane looked at Nabiki.
"Why should I?" Akane asked, "He did the same thing to you!"
"Yeah, because I would have died," Nabiki said, her tail flicking.
"But this is Ranma!" Akane said, "Why would he do anything for anyone else?"
"My name is Rhys!"
"What?" Brittany asked, "My brother is one of the nicest people I know!"
"Oh please," Akane said, "Ranma was a pervert, a freak, and an idiot. He does do nice."
"My name is RHYS!"
"Hey!" Brittany yelled, "He is not a freak! He's a werecheetah! He's not a pervert; that would be Happosai. And he's not stupid!"
"Ha!" Akane yelled back, "Ranma is SO a fre…"
"Goddamn it, my name is RHYS!"
"Chill," Nabiki said, patting her shoulder. It was odd to be able to do that to an eight-foot tall cheetah girl, but Nabiki was an eight and a half foot tall cheetah girl, "Akane, just shut up. Have you forgotten that you and I are also not human anymore?"
Akane froze, and started to stare downward, at the legs that were coming from the shorts she wore. They were covered in yellow-orange fur with brown stripes in it.
Akane started to freak.
"Naaaah!" She yelled.
Everyone started to ignore her unintelligible rambling.
"Hey, I just remembered something," Nabiki said, "R… Rees?"
"Rhys. R-H-Y-S."
"Rhys," Nabiki continued, "You've been screwed over again."
"Heh? How?"
"You said that you would never marry a human," Nabiki said, "And Daddy is still here. Looks like your stuck again."
Akane didn't snap out of it to say anything. Rhys just twitched.
"AND," Nabiki continued, "She doesn't have any competition anymore."
"Wouldn't say that," Rhys said, sighing.
"What?" Nabiki asked.
"Rhys, wh…" A werecat walked into the room. Her fur was white all over, and instead of cheetah spots, there were swirls of purple fur, "What happened to you?"
Akane and the werecat were staring at each other.
"Shampoo?" Akane asked, "Since when have you been a werecat?"
"About two days," Shampoo said.
"Was SHE about to die too?" Akane glared at Rhys.
"No," Rhys said, "She did it without any help from me or any other werecreature. She managed to mix her cursed form and her human form together and turn herself into a werecat."
"Oh, all we need is one more and we'll have the usual amount," Nabiki said, "Wasn't there another werecheetah in this house."
"Brianna," Rhys said, "She's not only infatuated with Ryoga, she's also my sister."
"I thought you had only one sister," Nabiki noted.
"She was sort of… created," Brittany said, "Just don't mention it and accept it, Brianna's kinda touchy about her origin. She's my sister, and Rhys' sister too."
"Okay, so is Akane gonna be okay?" Nabiki asked, seeing that Akane was now kicking like mad to get away from Ryoga.
"As soon as she calms down," Rhys said, "We can start helping her get back to how she's supposed to be, not pissed off all the damn time."
"RANMA!" Soun howled, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY DAUGHTERS!"
"Soun, Chill," Rhys said, "And my name is Rhys, not Ranma. Ranma's been dead since I left Nerima."
"Whoever you are, what have you done?" Soun howled.
"Are you sure he didn't get any werewolf DNA?" Rhys whispered to Gina, "He's howling."
"I'm sure," Gina said.
"ANSWER ME!" Soun howled again.
"What the hell is with all the howling!" Ryoga sudden came into the room, pissed off, "Stop it! It's freaking me out!"
"Aw," Brianna latched onto Ryoga, "Ryoga, you're so cute when you're mad!"
Everyone in the room except Soun stared at the two of them.
"NRAAAAAGHARARAA!" Soun snarled, not moving from his seat one a large couch.
Rhys jumped back to avoid the spit.
"Jees!" Rhys said, "I only scratched them! It isn't like there dead you know! If I hadn't they would have died!"
"AABLABLABLABLA!" Soun snarled, his head rolling around; he still didn't stand up, "MAMAMAMDOORAKAAAIIIIIIIIII!"
Everyone just stared at him.
"Dude, is he rabid?" Brianna asked.
"I'm not completely sure," Nabiki said from where she and Akane were sitting on the couch.
"Hey, it's that guy," Shampoo said, pointing at the television.
"It's what guy?" Rhys asked.
"That guy from America's Funniest Home Video," Shampoo said.
"Bob Saggat?" Rhys asked, wondering why Shampoo was sitting so close to him and purring like crazy.
"Sure you can, chimp man!" Bob Saggat said, "Psychic cheetah!"
They both stared at the TV for a moment.
"Help!" Brittany yelled, running through the hallways at full speed. Mousse was running after her, slightly wondering why his silver weaponry were tingling.
Mousse suddenly found himself leaning up against the wall with his jaw aching. He glanced at who hit him.
"Ryoga!" Mousse said, "What're you doing? I was chasing after a…"
"Werecheetah, I know," Ryoga said.
"Why the hell did you punch me then?" Mousse asked loudly.
"Because you're a were-hunter," Ryoga told him.
"That still doesn't explain why you punched me," Mousse told him.
"Actually, it does," Ryoga said, "You were chasing after Rhys' sister."
"Who the hell is…" Mousse was cut off.
"Ranma's sister," Ryoga said, "Rhys is his real name."
"So she's his adopted sister?" Mousse asked.
"You DID see him go into hybrid form, didn't you?" Ryoga asked, not amused, "Brittany is Rhys' REAL sister."
"Then I have to find and kill both of them!" Mousse said as he tried to run off again. Ryoga stopped him by grabbing Mousse's arm.
"Okay, you're pissing me off slightly," Ryoga said growling, "You've been out of the loop too long. There are seven and a half werecreatures living here. You think you could kill them all?"
"Seven and a…" Mousse said, "Wait. Seven and a half? How can there be a half a werecreature."
"Well there's the werecheetahs," Ryoga said, "Rhys, Brittany, and Brianna are all related. Nabiki is full werecheetah, and Akane is half cheetah half wolf."
"Nabiki and Akane?" Mousse said, "Ranma… he turned them!"
"Shut up and listen," Ryoga said, "Nabiki and Akane would have DIED if they didn't turn. That asshole Pee-wee spliced the DNA of Rhys and me into them."
"Ranma because he's a werecheetah, and you because you're a bulldozer?" Mousse asked, socking an eyebrow at him.
"No!" Ryoga said, "I'm a damn werewolf! Now shut up and listen!"
Mousse paled, and tried to bring the sword up and around onto Ryoga.
Ryoga, showing speed Mousse didn't know he had, caught Mousse's wrist and made him drop the weapon. After that, he shifted into hybrid form.
"LISTEN," Ryoga quipped, "Rhys, Brittany, Brianna, Nabiki, Akane, and I, that's six. Guess who the other one and a half is?"
"Um…" Mousse's eyes were wide, "Kasumi and… um… Soun?"
"Nope," Ryoga said, "Shampoo accidentally turned into one when she mixed her curse with her human form."
"S-Shampoo?" Mousse looked petrified.
"And you would make seven and a half," Ryoga smirked, showing his fangs, "Didn't notice that you had a tail, did ya?"
Mousse looked behind him.
"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"
"Well, looks like he saw his tail," Rhys said.
"Serves him right," Brittany said.
"Dude!" Ryoga said, gripping Mousse in a bear hug, "CHILL!"
"Lemme go! Lemme go! I'm not a werecreature! I'm not!" Mousse yelled.
"Of course you're not!" Ryoga shouted to the psychotic Amazon, "You're half! That midget named Pee-wee put my DNA into your DNA!"
"Get it out then!"
"We CAN'T!" Ryoga yelled, "And unless you want to go back to that midget and get even more screwed up, you have to become a full werewolf or you'll DIE!"
"I'd rather DIE!" Mousse screamed.
"Ha," Ryoga said coldly, "A slow painful death that involves you body destroying itself? You, rotting while you are still alive? Dissolving? Really, is being a werewolf THAT bad?"
"They're EVIL!" Mousse yelled.
"No we're not!" Ryoga said, not letting his grip loosen, "Well… most werewolves are evil. But I'm not."
"Most?" Mousse spat sarcastically.
"Shut… up…" Ryoga squeezed hard, making Mousse cough, "I don't care what the others do. They killed Rhys and Brittany's ENTIRE tribe. I am NOT one of those SADISTIC bastards."
"…ow," Mousse said, "Y-you're s-sti…"
Ryoga squeezed again.
"You know," Ryoga said, "All I have to do is scratch you, and you'd INSTANTLY turn into a werewolf. You should be careful what you say."
"Eep!" Mousse said as Ryoga's claws came into clear view, "Heh heh… b-brittle c-claws… y-you should g-get that l-looked at…"
"I'll look into it," Ryoga said, "Now decide, is dying like that any worse than being alive, but a werewolf? I mean, Shampoo's a werecat and she doesn't seem sad at all. She's still Shampoo."
"Would… I really die that horribly?" Mousse asked.
"Brianna?" Ryoga asked.
A werecheetah came into Mousse's view.
"Yup," Brianna said, "Maybe even worse. Gina said something about shutting all of the systems off, before you're muscles spontaneously relax, and then you start to rot."
"Ehheh," Mousse said. He didn't respond.
Ten seconds later…
"Too late," Ryoga said. He stabbed Mousse in the back of the wrist with his claw.
"AIIIE!" Mousse yelled.
Mousse as well, went poof.
Ryoga and Brianna looked at the werewolf that was currently huddled on the floor, covering his eyes with his hands. They listened to the whimpering for a moment, before Ryoga nudged him with his foot.
"Was that so bad?" Ryoga asked.
"Eh?" Mousse asked, looking up. His furry face looked confused.
"Feel any different?" Ryoga asked.
"Yes," Mousse said, looking at his hands.
"Mentally?" Ryoga quirked an eyebrow.
"…No," Mousse said, "Not really."
"Good," Ryoga picked up the now werewolf wearing clothing that was too small and stood him up, "Consider yourself edjumakayded in the fact that werecreatures aren't evil."
(SOUND IT OUT! ED JEW MA CAY TED! EDUCATED, ASS! ASS! BUNGALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)

(thank you bitch, SUCK IT DRY!)

"I'll tell Rhys and Brittany to get some more clothes," Brianna said, "They'll be ecstatic about another mall trip."
"Rhys… is Ranma, right?" Mousse asked.
"Yeah," Ryoga said.
"Why would he be ecstatic?" Mousse asked.
"That…" Ryoga said, putting his furry arm around Mousse, they started to walk towards where the two would be, "That you'll have to see yourself to believe."
"Calmed down now?" Rhys asked as Ryoga and Mousse walked into the room.
"Y-yeah," Mousse said, looking at all the werecreatures in the room.
"Hey, don't worry," Rhys said, standing up and walked over to Mousse, "You're one of us now, a werecreature. No need to feel skittish. We're like one big… happy…"
Rhys took a large breath.
"…Completely screwed up family," He finished.
"Very nice, Rhys," Nabiki quipped.
Rhys laughed.
Mousse could already see that Ranma… Rhys… was a lot more active and social here than in Nerima.
