Gina looked up from the microscope when Brittany entered looking a bit disappointed. "What happened?" She asked although she had a good idea of what happened.
"Daddy." Brittany replied.
"Oh the old boyfriend to father talk huh?" Gina said.
"Ranma isn't my boyfriend! Well not yet anyway." Brittany said.
"So you two lip-locking in the living room doesn't count as step one?" Gina asked.
"Huh?" Brittany blushed. "How'd you know?"
Gina pointed at a TV monitor with the picture of a cowering martial artist trying not to bolt from a man with a flaming skull for a head casually smoking a pipe.
"You were watching us!" Brittany said her tail standing rigid.
"Yeah and caught every moment of it, so I'm guessing you're going to help Ranma with his little cat problem am I right?" Gina said slyly.
"Uh yeah, I guess I'm going too." Brittany flushed knowing she'd be getting more time to be with Ranma.
Meanwhile in the living room…
"Ranma is it? Yes I faintly remember that name. I believe Brittany talked about you all the time when we got back from Japan." Theo blew another smoke ring while keeping his flaming skull spell going. Ranma could only squirm.
"Eheheh is that a fact? I didn't know she thought of me so much then." Ranma said nervously.
"Indeed…" Theo made his spell flare making Ranma flinch. "Which leaves me a question that I need answered."
"W-What is it?" Ranma asked even more nervously than before.
Theo leaned forward and his demon skull spell flared to maximum peaks. "DID YOU DO ANYTHING BAD TO BRITTANY!" He boomed.
"Yaaaaaaahhhhh!" Ranma fell over backwards.
Theo loomed over Ranma. "WELL!"
"Ranma shook his head rapidly. "I didn't do nothing, I didn't anything to her!"
The demon skull died down. "Okay I believe you?"
Ranma sighed with relief only to fall backwards again when the demon skull came back in full force.
"DID YOU DO ANYTHING BAD WITH GINA!" Theo boomed.
Ranma shook his rapidly, and the skull died down again much to his relief.
"Well then I hope we get along, and see to it you don't do anything bad to them… GOT IT?" The demon skull flared and Ranma nodded repeatedly at mach 1. Theo nodded and walked out allowing Ranma to finally plop down onto the couch with relief.
"Geez Brit-chan's dad is more scary then Soun." He muttered than someone furry glomped onto him from behind.
After Brittany saw her father leave she left Gina and quickly ran up to glomp onto Ranma again. "Hi Ran-chan!"
Ranma tried very hard not to go dashing out screaming knowing that Brittany was in her hybrid form. 'It's just Brit-chan. It's just Brit-chan.' He repeated mentally.
Brittany sniffed Ranma and snorted when she detected the odor of sweat, lots of sweat, which probably occurred when her dad gave Ranma the "Talk." She smiled and purred making Ranma shudder. "Ran-chan you're really sweaty."
Ranma just nodded instinctively concentrating on not going neko.
"You need a bath Ranma." Brittany moved her mouth closer to his right ear. "Want me to help give you one?"
Ranma's thoughts at the moment were wiped out in a mental tsunami when Brittany's words sunk in. "What?" He yelled out.
Suddenly Theo was back in the living room with demon skull spell going full blast. "Ranma…"
Ranma looked back and forth between Theo and Brittany. 'Man this is not good, there's only one thing to do." Gently removing Brittany's arms from him he stood up and shouted. "Saotome Anything Goes School of Martial Arts Final Attack! RUN AWAY!" And Ranma ran out the living room leaving a dust cloud where he had been.
Brittany blinked when she saw him leave. 'Wow Ranma's pretty fast… A wild horse running away from a cheetah… sounds like the predator has to give chase to the prey.' Brittany grinned. "Here I come Ran-chan!" Zip Zoom Zing! Brittany was off to catch the wild horse. Theo wasn't far behind teleporting all around the house giving Ranma even more trouble to deal with.
Meanwhile, Gina was on the floor rolling around with laughter, the screen showed Ranma running full tilt only managing to be ahead of Brittany because of the turns in the halls and her father teleporting every which way with full demon head scaring the heck out of Ranma each time. "Things are getting interesting already and Ranma's barely been here for a day." Gina snickered than she began to roll again with laughter when Brittany finally caught Ranma.
One year later.
"Cheetah wake up! We got to get moving." Gina called out to her sister.
"Ah, you can wait a few minutes." Brittany was watching the Flintstones on television powered by a portable generator.
"Hmm I wonder what would happen if I pull this plug?" Gina said sarcastically.
"Touch it you're dead!" Brittany shouted out.
"Ah c'mon Brit-chan lets get moving everything's packed but your stuff, and you have the most!" Ranma called out. Zip Zoom Zing! Brittany's tent, generator, and everything else were gone replaced with a werecheetah cuddling a martial artists arm.
"Okay beef cake I'm ready, lets go." Brittany purred. Ranma rolled his eyes and sighed. It had been an entire year since he left the Tendo dojo and he knew hell was probably breaking loose all over Japan as all the known parties were probably looking for him. The year he spent with the Diggers family was not without its events that rivaled his own experiences. First of course was his curse, which he decided to demonstrate after all the episodes that occurred when he tried to keep certain parts of his life secret. He spent the next hour with Brittany continually splashing him and another hour in Gina's lab, the next half hour running from Gina and her experiment to remove the curse. Then he spent most of afternoon with Theo who analyzed the curse and finally broke the disappointing news that he couldn't remove it. He didn't tell Ranma that during his scans he found a seal on him but decided to not reveal it until a better time.
Brittany helped Ranma tremendously with his phobia she appeared at any old time in her hybrid form quite a few times it was either in his bed or barging in while he was relaxing in the tub. Brittany said it was the best time to get him while he wasn't tense. But that is what she said. This of course had it's share of bad times quite a few times Ranma did fall into neko-ken and the Diggers had to either splash him or Brittany switched to her human form to calm him down. Eventually however with Brittany's constant positive presence Ranma began to creep over his phobia and now he could pretty much handle his fear of cats although he was still slightly nervous around them.
Another thing changed about him was his physique. When he left Nerima he was still the lean, slender, spun steel for muscles with boyish good looks without much changing from the two years since he beat Saffron. After getting a slight sprain when he trained with Brittany, Gina found some slight brain damage that Ranma had, probably due to Genma's insane methods of training. After a trip to the rejuvenation tank all previous damage was repaired including the damage to his brain. This portion of his brain controlled the hormones that hadn't managed to be released in the right amounts with the damage to Ranma's brain, with the damage gone the hormones rushed in. Within a week Ranma's lean muscular physique boosted up three times and his boyish looks were replaced with a handsome mature face. In other words he had gone from prime beef to Greek god, and Brittany loved every bit of it. For Ranma the suppressed hormones made him begin to realize something he had been getting a lot of, but had been ignoring… girls.
Ranma began noticing Brittany's exotic look when she was in hybrid form and the outfits she wore left him squirming. Gina was just as bad. Although she wasn't as voluptuous as Brittany she had a very attractive figure and both of them constantly flirted with him it made him want to scream and most of the time he splashed himself to cool himself down. He fully realized how very attractive Shampoo was, how extremely cute Ukyo was, how radiant Kasumi was, despite her personality Akane's cute petite figure, and by Kami-sama he actually thought of Kodachi. Ranma took over a month to finally rope in all his thoughts and actions. Not to say everything was hectic for his first year, Ranma trained with Brittany and although he wasn't as fast or as strong as Brittany, (Of course he wouldn't admit that), he made up with his experience in martial arts and the fights of his past made him able to handle anything Brittany could throw at him, although Brittany seemed to like to do a lot of grappling practice with him.
Another a big thing was adventures. He and the Diggers sisters have been on many adventures a lot of peril and fights that got his blood boiling several times he had to save the sisters, several times they saved him from the clutches of evil women, a few times he mostly saved himself from powerful dudes who wanted to marry his girl form. Of course after abducting him they found themselves beaten into the ground when they tried to consummate with their future wife. One of these adventures was what Ranma was on right now, Gina had found a lead on something and she dragged along him and Brit-chan to go find whatever it was. One thing for certain every time they did go on an adventure it would always end up with some good old fighting that Ranma reveled in.
"So tell me again why you need an ancient time machine Gina?" Brittany asked as the group hiked toward the supposed direction of Gina's "next great discovery".
"Think of the guys we can pick up in that thing. All the hunks in history ours for the taking." Gina said with a gleam in her eye.
"You could have done the same thing by going to the mall you nerd! Besides why would I want any old heartthrob from the last century when I have a perfectly good one right here?" Brittany once again hung onto Ranma's arm making the poor martial artist blush and groan.
"Yeah hee hee… thanks Brit-chan." Ranma replied nervously.
"Stop calling me a nerd! Besides physics, chemistry, para-science and archaeology are normal everyday hobbies." Gina said. "Besides Cheetah think about it a real honest to god time machine."
"Your curiosity is going to kill this cat and her loving stud muffin one of these days. So which smooth snake oil junky sod you this time machine junk anyway?" Brittany asked.
"Hey Brit-chan quit calling me that!" Ranma called out. It was becoming more and more frequent, instead of being called Ran-chan, Brittany began calling him stud muffin, beef cake and worst of all Cheetah's pony.
"Oh I'm sorry beef cake." Brittany said. Ranma hung his head and groaned.
'Great Brit-chan is getting more and more aggressive everyday.' Ranma thought back about the past few months. Brittany had appeared in the training room wearing what she claimed to be a new outfit for her workout but Ranma thought it looked more like string and teacups, he was out for the rest of the morning after that incident. Then there was the time when he went to bed and woke up the next morning with a naked Brittany laying across his lap face up with breakfast food laid all over her. The last thing he remembered then was her saying.
"Sorry no fork. I guess you gotta use your hands." Ranma shuddered. Than there was that time when he accidentally cut himself while moving some of Gina's machines. He got his first visit from nurse Brittany, now that was an experience he wanted to forget. He liked Brit-chan a lot but he just wasn't sure about getting into an even closer relationship yet. Luckily even after all those events he still retained his virginity. Looking at Gina he found out to his dismay that she started one of her long-winded and detailed explanations a glance at Brittany revealed that she was just as bored as he was right now. "Gina-san just how far is this piece of junk anyway?" He said. 'Time machine, big deal the experience with the nanban mirror was bad enough.' He thought.
Gina glared at him for interrupting her. "It's in that cave over there." She pointed at a sinister looking cave.
"Oh that's just gross." Brittany said.
"Sinister looking caves, old run downed buildings, ancient ruins, man how cliché is that?" Ranma muttered.
"Gina you aren't really going into that cave right it smells wrong and…" Brittany stopped talking when Gina entered the cave with her flashlight on. "Never mind." She finished and followed Gina in.
"You know anything that happens from this point on is going to be on your head Gina. I only came because I promised dad I'd protect you." Brittany said.
"Yeah and I came along because I swore to protect you and Brit-chan… and of course just to plain fight." Ranma said.
"Yeah I know I'll always be safe with you beside me Ran-chan." Brittany said.
Ranma sighed. 'At least she didn't call me Cheetah's pony.' He thought.
"Protection? from what? Goblins, occult fanatics, zombies?" Gina asked. Just then her flashlight swept over something very big and ugly.
"How about those things miss genius?" Brittany said as the trolls began to chuckle.
"Alright I guess we get to fight after all." Ranma said with a grin and dropped his pack.
To be continued.
Yeah I'm going to follow the original storyline a bit so we get into familiar territory and not get confused than I'm going a bit off because to tell the truth I have very little on Gold Diggers although I'm trying to get more info. Besides biographies off the Internet and fanfics from other authors I only have volume one as solid base. Hey come on GD isn't actually sold a lot in the bookstores in Hawaii, heck Ninja High School has more volumes over here then Gold Digger. So far only volume one from GD showed up here while NHS has about five to six volumes. So helpful info in the reviews will be of enormous help to me. Sorry if this dashes the hopes of some of you out there.
