Chapter 2 - Creepy!

Ranma with the pigtail stared at Ranma with the ponytail while Ranma with the ponytail stared at Ranma with the pigtail.

They both said. ' Weird. A double of myself.'

Mack said. 'Creepy!'

Ranma with the ponytail said. 'Well I think we should introduce our selves ne Mack?'

Mack said agreeing with his bro. 'Yep!'

Ranma with the pigtail said while bowing to the two strange people. 'I'm Ranma Saotome. Nice to meet ya.'

Mack started laughing and said between his laughter. 'Wow if there wasn't enough Ranma's in the world.'

Ranma with the pigtail started at Mack and said confused about the situation. 'What do you mean?'

Ranma with the ponytail said. 'First let me introduce my self and you will know what he means. I'm Ranma Zinkaka.'

Ranma(s) said really kinda feeling like deja vu. 'Weird.'

Ranma(z) said with a chuckle. 'I guess the saying is True.'

Mack still laughing said nothing at the moment.

Ranma(s) said. 'What saying?'

Ranma(z) said. 'The saying goes like this. Some where in the world you have a double of your self. Well you can see the saying is true now.'

Ranma(s) said. 'So what are you doing in Nermia?'

Mack laughter promptly died down and said. 'Well we are going to Furakin High School but right now we are looking for a nice place to stay.'

Ranma(z) pitched in. 'Every place we looked at so far was either to bad to stay in or plain horrible.'

Ranma(s) said. 'Umm Well where I'm currently staying, Nabiki is renting out a room. I don't know if our place is up to your standards but if you want you can check it out.'

Mack while looking like he is trying to think. 'Well...We'll check it out.'

Ranma(s) said. 'Well right this way.'

Ranma(s) not to sure if they could roof hop decided to walk toward the tendo dojo. Mack and Ranma(z) following trailing only a few feet from the leader. They passed many Japanese houses. Both of the Zinkaka brothers looked on way amazement, after all I think two aliens would find it fascinating. After a few more minutes they finally stopped in front of the tendo dojo.

Mack said absently. 'Looks pretty nice.'

Ranma(z) said in an agreement with mack. 'Yes your right.'

Ranma(s) said. 'Ya shouldn't based your judgment on look alone.'

Ranma(z) said now agreeing with the wild horse. 'I suppose your right.'

They followed the pigtailed Ranma into the tendo dojo home. Ranma(s) opened the door and lead the two strangers into the living room.

Ranma(s) said in a clam manner. 'Please take a seat I'll go get nabiki so she could show you around the house.'

Ranma(z) and Mack took a seat at the tendo table.

Mack said in a serious fashion. 'Don't take to long in getting Tendo-san.'

Ranma(z) said not in the same tone as mack but in a more friendlier tone. 'Yeah, we get bored pretty easily.'

Ranma(s) said again in a clam manner. 'Sure, I won't be long.'

As Mack and Ranma(z) waited for only about Two minutes or so before Ranma(s) came down stairs into the living room with a young woman with short brown hair and quite a lovely figure.

Nabiki said in her cool, clam fashion. 'So I see you two would like to rent the empty room.'

Ranma(z) in a cool clam matter responded. 'Yes, Hopefully you'll be reasonable with the price?' That was more of a statement then a question.

Nabiki thought to herself. "Man these guys aren't stupid. I can't play with their minds like everyone else."

Ranma(z) said starting to get impatient. 'Well are you going to show us around?'

Nabiki said quickly but still clam. 'Yes follow me boys.'

Ranma(z) and Mack said nothing but thought both to themselves. "Weird."

They follow the 17 year old girl as she showed them around the house explaining what every room was.

They finished their tour through the house with the kitchen.

Nabiki said ever so nabiki like. 'Well we our last place of the tour, the kitchen.'

Nabiki asked. 'Well is this place up to your standards?'

Mack piped in. 'Yeah, Pretty cozy place.'

Nabiki said in a business like manner. 'Well now all that is left is the matter of the price.'

Ranma(z) responded. 'Yes the price.'

Mack said now realizing. 'Hey we never introduced ourselves Tendo-san.'

Nabiki said in an emotionless voice. 'I already now your names. Ranma told me.'

Mack said questioning Ranma(z). 'You did?'

Nabiki said like she was talking to an idiot. 'No the other Ranma.'

Mack said. 'Oh!'

Ranma(z) said coolly. 'Now to the manner of the price Tendo-san.'

The money hungry sister responded. 'How does 34,000 yen sound to you?'

Ranma(z) thought about it for a moment and said. 'Hmm we get breakfast,Lunch, Dinner and the use of the bathroom?'

Nabiki said calmly. 'Yes.'

Ranma(z) said quite happy with the price. 'We'll take it.'

Ranma(s) sitting in the living room all be him lonesome self said to no one in particular. 'Dam, Hopefully they will be done soon.'

EC said in his ever so like computer voice. 'COMMANDER, WE ARRIVED IN NOVA SYSTEM 3.'

Yuki said with her katana be her side and determination in her voice. 'Good. Which planet was my husband last on?'

EC said in his usual voice. 'THE PLANET FANKA IS WHERE IT WAS LAST REPORT YOUR HUSBAND WAS ON IN THIS SYSTEM.'

Yuki said forcefully. 'Good set course for the planet and head there at once.'

EC said. 'YES COMMANDER! AT ONCE!'

Yuki said to herself. 'My husband I will FIND YOU!'

EC said. 'IT WILL TAKE ABOUT ANOTHER 10 MINUTES UNTIL WE ARRIVE.'

Yuki said thanking her ship. 'Thanks.'

10 minutes elapsed

EC said. 'WE HAVE ARRIVE COMMANDER.'

Yuki said in an commanding voice. 'Good pull into space port 9.'

EC said. 'VERY WELL!'

As the command was given it was done. The Eagle pulled into space port which was re severed for Yuki as she called it in during the 10 minute ride there.

Yuki said again with a commander's voice. 'Open Hatch!'

EC said. 'OPENING HATCH!'

Yuki said again. 'EC put up security system as soon as I step out of the ship.'

EC said. 'IT WILL BE DONE COMMANDER.'

Yuki said waving goodbye to the hallway. 'See ya EC in a little while.'

Ec said nothing as she left. Ec then put up the security system. Which consisted of armed guns, lasers, and a mean looking human like robot that will kill anything that does not listen to it.

Ranma(z) took out the alloted money and said. 'Here you go.' While holding his hand out so nabiki could take the money.

Nabiki took the money quite fast.

Nabiki said calmly. 'Nice doing business with you Zinkaka-san' Nabiki held her hand out for a handshake.

Ranma(z) confused by this action because they usually bowed in his home world. Here was this girl holding her hand out for some strange reason. Mack also was confused by this action. Nabiki was confused as well, she was waiting for one of them to shake her hand but they were looking at her like she was some alien.

Nabiki said irritated. 'Shake my hand!'

Mack caught on before Ranma(z) did and did a handshake with Nabiki.

Nabiki said still a little irritated. 'Finally you got it. What you guys didn't know what a handshake was?'

Ranma(z) said quickly. 'No No. I just forgot for the moment.'

Nabiki said while walking away. 'You guys know where everything is so make yourselves at home. Aliens.' Nabiki said the last part with a chuckle.

Ranma(z) said with dread. 'She knows?..."

Mack said already knowing what nabiki meant by the last part. 'No so was joking around because we didn't shake her hand until she told us too.'

Ranma(z) said with relief. 'That's good.'

Mack said bored again. 'Let's find Ranma. I wanna see how good he is at martial arts.'

Ranma(z) said not really caring. 'Sure why not.'

Ranma(z) and Mack went to pick up their bags in the dining room and put it in their room in the tendo's house. After that they went searching for Ranma(s) while engaging in small talk about things. The brothers finally found Ranma(s) in the Tendo's dojo practicing a Kata. They watched him perform. The two did not want to break his concentration. They know he would do the same for them.

As Ranma(s) finished he asked the Zinkaka brothers. 'Your martial artist right.'

The brothers said in unison. 'Yep.'

Mack asked eagerly. 'Wanna spar?'

Ranma(s) said confidently. 'Sure I wanna see how good you are.'

Mack said in the same confidence. 'I'm very good.'

Mack walked up to the center of the dojo facing Ranma(s) and bowed. Ranma(s) followed the action by bowing as well.

Mack called over to his brother. 'Bro tell us when to begin!'

Ranma(z) called back and said. 'Sure!'

As the two martial artists prepared to do battle with one another, Ranma(z) ran over and in between the two.

Ranma(z) said loudly. 'Hajami!' He then walked out of the way and was watching the fight between the two from the side lines.

Mack rushed forward as soon as Ranma(z) said hajami toward Ranma(s). Ranma(s) also rushed forward toward Mack running at speeds faster then the human eye can see. As the two reached the epic center they both let out a furry of punches and kicks at each other. Some connecting and some not. The two jumped back a few feet from each other.

Ranma(s) said breathing normally. 'Your good.'

Mack said smirking. 'Told ya.'

Ranma(s) responded. 'No holding back my punches.'

Mack replied. 'I won't hold back either.'

Ranma(z) was watching with amazement. The two fighters ran forward again. Mack lashed out with a fast jab toward Ranma(s) midsection. The blow did not connect as Ranma(s) jumped upward dogging the blow completely. Ranma(s) while still in the air decide to do a flying kick toward Mack's head. Mack jumped backward as Ranma(s) hit the dojo floor missing it's mark.

Mack took advantage of the situation and move in to hit Ranma in his chest with a Ki powered punch. Ranma went flying back toward the dojo wall. Before he hit the wall he maneuvered in the air and rebound off the wall. He then shouted out Mouko Takabisha. Lunching a Ki ball toward the surprised mack. The Confidence powered ki ball hit Mack as he was hit backward landed on the floor on his back.

Mack said wincing in pain. 'Ouch.'

Ranma(s) landed on the floor seeing Mack on the floor now getting up. Mack looked at Ranma(s) and smirked. He ran forward using his Ki to speed him up. He was in front of Ranma in less then a few second.

Mack shouted. 'Sonic Fist!'

The attack connected. Landing about 502 punches until Ranma(s) Decided to counter it using the Tenshin Amaguriken. After countering it they were at a deadlock. Their hands inter locked with each other to see who would overpower who.

Mack said clearly straining. 'Heh your good.'

Ranma also straining. 'You too.'

They finally decided to let go and jumped back. They were about to go another round until they Ranma(s) heard the dreaded sound of ...Akane.

Akane stormed into the dojo and shouted at the top of her lungs. 'RRRRAAANNNMMMAAA!'

Ranma(s) said meekly. 'yyy...eeee...sss?'

Akane seeing red clearly was looking at the wrong Ranma at the moment said. 'WHERE WERE YOU!'

Ranma(s) said angrily. 'I was flying through the air thanks to you!'

Akane said still mad as a bull who saw red. 'I bet you were out with your hussies pervert.'

The two brother clearly looking on with amazement. Akane ran forward to hit Ranma(z) with a mallet.

Of course since this was not the usual Ranma he stop the mallet. Akane looked furious.

Akane said angrily. 'How dare you stop my mallet pervert?'

Ranma(z) responded calmly. 'You got the wrong person. I'm Ranma Zinkaka. Nice to meet you Tendo-san.'

Ranma(s) shouted toward Akane. 'You Baka tomboy! I'm over here.'

Akane was about to try and hit Ranma(z) again but he touched a few pressure points on the back of her neck and put her to sleep. Ranma(s) clearly saw what he did.

Mack said confused about the situation at hand. 'What in the name of the seven hell's was her problem?'

Ranma(s) said sighing. 'I don't know. Ever since the failed wedding her anger issues have been out of control.'

Both Zinkaka brothers said questioningly. 'Failed wedding?'

Ranma(s) said sadly. 'I don't want to talk about it.'

Mack said assuringly. 'You don't have to. But whenever you want to I wanna hear about you life some more.'

Ranma(z) added in. 'Me too.'

Ranma(s) said thankfully. 'Thanks for not prying.'

Both in usion said. 'No Problem.'

Ranma(s) asked. 'Can you please stop talking in usion?'

Ranma(z) said chuckling a bit. 'It's kinda of hard.'

Ranma(s) walked up to Ranma(z) and took Akane out of his hands.

Ranma(s) said to the two brothers. 'I'll bring her up to her room. Then I'll show you guys around town Kay?'

The brothers said. 'Sure!'

Ranma sighed once more and took akane up to her room. He opened the door and walked to her bed. Then he gently layed her down. Ranma said softly. 'Akane. Things will never work out between us.'

Then he promptly left the room.

Meanwhile...

The Two brothers sat down in the dining room. Kasumi walked in and looked a bit surprised at this new person sitting in the living room. The brothers from the same mother looked at Kasumi.

Mack spoke up and said. 'We should introduce our selves. I'm Mack Zinkaka. Nice to meet you.'

Ranma(z) said in a friendly tone. 'Nice to meet you. I'm Ranma Zinkaka.'

Kasumi said confused. 'Aren't you Ranma Satome?'

Ranma(z) said calmly. 'No but I looked similar don't I?'

Kasumi said clearly realizing this was another person. 'I'm Kasumi Tendo. It's a pleasure to meet you. Will you be staying for dinner?'

Ranma(z) said clearly confused. 'Umm yeah because we kinda of renting a room here.'

Kasumi said shocked. 'Oh my!'

Kasumi then said. 'I must prepare some more food. Welcome to the tendos home.'

Kasumi then left and went into the kitchen.

Mack said. 'That was strange.

Ranma(z) agreeing with the pigtailed boy. 'Yes it was strange indeed.'

Ranma(s) finally came downstairs. He proceeded into the kitchen.

Ranma(s) called to Kasumi. 'Kasumi?'

Kasumi responded with a question. 'Is that you Ranma-Kun?'

Ranma(s) said. 'Yeah it's me. I guess no one introduced you to our guests that will be staying awhile.'

Kasumi said in a pleasant voice. 'No. No one did.'

Ranma(s) said explaining to Kasumi. 'Well the pigtailed one is Mack Zinkaka. The pony tailed one is Ranma Zinkaka. They will be going to Furaikan High school for the short while they will be staying with us.'

Kasumi said thanking Ranma-kun. 'Thank you Ranma-kun.'

Ranma(s) said to Kasumi. 'Your welcome. Oh yeah and don't cook for the guests or me. We will be going to eat out for dinner. I'm going to show them around the city.'

Kasumi said calmly. 'Okay.'

The two brothers wondered into the kitchen getting bored waiting for Ranma(s) to come.

Ranma(z) called out and said. 'Would you like any help Kasumi?'

Mack piped in. 'I don't mind helping out.'

Ranma(s) said toward the two. 'We're going out for dinner guys.'

Mack said not really caring. 'Okay.'

Ranma(z) said kinda of not really caring either. 'Kay.'

Ranma(s) said. 'Let's get going times running out.'

They Trio left the Kitchen and Out the front door but before Ranma(s) left he said to Kasumi. 'Bye Kasumi-Chan. After that being said he left with the other two. Back in the Kitchen Kasumi had a Furious Blush among her whole face.

The Three of them finally out the big wooden gates of the Tendo home.

Ranma(s) said to Mack and Ranma(z). 'I'm guessing you can roof hop.'

Mack said smiling. 'Sure can buddy.'

Ranma(z) responded more calmly. 'Yes I can.'

Ranma(s) said happily. 'Well then follow me.'

Ranma(s) jump upon a roof of a house and kept on going. The other to followed close behind.

TBC...
