remialcsiD: See, I'm obviously not skilled enough a writer to own the universe I'm writing in. Just look at the first word in this whole chapter! Backwards!

To further disclaim, I'm stealing some of the idea's here from another series of fanfictions, Uncles, though not the whole concept.

Oh, and I even corrected the place where instead of a NAME I had a NOTE to look up a name. Geesh I need a beta reader!

Moon Cats: Walkabout

Captain Ichiro Hibuki was amused, in spite of the tea covering his windshield, at Luna's completely flustered state. The black Mau was rarely disturbed by anything (Outside of a blond with a strange hair style, and a certain white Mau) and it was a sight to see. "Are you really telling me that there's a manga series about this place?"

"Yeah! From some small publisher… Ice Maiden or something like that."

"Weird. Maybe it's a coincidence."

"Probably is. Well, let's go."

The two CAPPA officers climbed out of the Toyota sedan they were driving and strode to the gates. Hibuki chuckled, reading the sign. "Well, since we don't want to engage in "Savage combat" I think we'll just knock on the front gate." He did so, not noticing the visible twitch on Luna's cheek.

The gate was quickly answered by a uniformed officer, and they showed him their ID's. "Great." The sergeant sighed. "This is a little outside of my experience. I mean, I'm fine when dealing with some sort of obscure martial arts crap, but this magic stuff is beyond me."

Hibuki raised an eyebrow, but nodded politely. "That's why CAPPA's here sergeant. So, where's the victim?"

"Her, her family, and as far as I can tell the perpetrator is in the house waiting. Just go around back, the dining room door is open."

"Thank you." Luna said absently, walking around with a definite feeling of familiarity that just couldn't really be happening. 'It's a coincidence. It has to be.' She thought to her self.

The cry of "Ranma no Baka!" and the impact of what appeared to be a pigtailed comet against her as she came around the corner convinced her, on her way to unconsciousness, that it was no dream.

Artemis sighed as he walked off the train and back into the sunlight. The campus of Tokyo university was an easy, short walk from the station and he quickly considered the information map set up at the main entrance. Finding the building he wanted he strode confidently along the neatly kept sidewalks towards his destination.

He approached the reception desk in the lab building, and nodded to the pleasant looking co-ed behind the beat up desk. "Excuse me, could you direct me to Doctor Noriyasu Seta's lab please?"

"Oh, sure. He's on the third floor, in the back, furthest from the elevators." The college student answered, showing him on a map of the building with a smile for the cute bishonen man. Artemis just nodded and thanked her before turning to the elevators.

He soon reached the floor, then the door to the lab, slipping his pack off of his back as he reached it. He paused, then nodded and knocked on the door.

The moon cat blinked in a bit of surprise when a blond girl answered the door yelling "If you forgot my fruit salad I'll jeet kon doo your butt Keitaro!" While waving what he firmly believed was an Egyptian burial mask over her head like a bludgeon. She blinked up at him, apparently as confused by him as he was by her. "You aren't the idiot." She stated, matter of factly.

"Um, not the one I think your looking for at least." Artemis replied. "Should you be waving that around like that. They're kind of rare last I checked."

"Eh, there's lots of old junk like this around here." She replied, tossing the mask across the room, into a shelf of several other, most likely priceless, artifacts. Artemis looked on in horror as she turned and walked back into the room.

"Sarah, I remembered your fruit salad, but they were out of bananas. Seems Su got there before me." A male voice shook him out of his fugue, and the moon cat turned to find a man carrying WAY to many boxed lunches stumbling towards him. "Would you mind giving me a hand?"

Artemis deftly plucked the top three off the pile in the other mans arms. "Thanks Sarah… oh, sorry, you aren't Sarah." The young man, most likely a senior or graduate student Artemis thought, smiled in a friendly sort of way. "Are you here to see Seta?"

"Yeah. I'm Artemis Yui, and I think he was expecting me?"

"Oh, yeah, he told me you would probably be stopping by. He had to run out for a bit, but should be back in an hour or so. If you want you can have lunch with us, we've got plenty of food."

"Thanks…" Artemis watched him enter the room, and receive a blow he was sure should have been lethal from a Mayan war club. The fact that the boy just stumbled a bit left him even more confused then he was before.

"Why didn't you beat Su. I was going to bribe her with those bananas!"

The darkness slowly began to fade to a dull gray, as pain returned to Luna's universe. Groaning the black haired Neko-Jin opened her eyes and blinked up at an unfamiliar ceiling. She blinked again, trying to get the unwarranted Evangelion quote out of her head, since she really didn't like how that series had ended.

"Oh, you're awake." A soft voiced woman said, drawing Luna's eyes from the ceiling to her friendly, smiling face. "I'm sorry about Akane knocking Ranma into you. She's a really sweet girl, but she just sometimes has psychotic breaks."

The fact that the young woman said that with a smile on her face and sincerity in her voice, scared the moon cat more then a little.

She shook her head, trying to shake the cobwebs out of her thought processes, and realized that she could hear Hibuki ranting in the background. "Could you help me up miss? I think I better get down there before the captain shoots someone."

"Of course, but only if your sure you are okay to get up."

Luna nodded, and groaned only a little as she was helped to her feet. Then she followed the brown haired girl out of the room and down a flight of stairs.

"What do you MEAN this happens to you all the time! Kid, she hit you with a twenty pound sledge hammer!" The commander of CAPPA division yelled at the pigtailed boy who seemed to be not at all put out by getting slammed into his partner. He was apologetic about her getting hurt, at least, but the man wasn't satisfied.

"Ichiro, I'm fine. You can calm down." Luna said, placing her hand on the angry mans shoulder.

He looked at her, then sighed. "Fine, then the girl doesn't get arrested." Then he turned and looked at the crowd of strange people. "Now, we got some call about a magical curse and that someone managed to curse an innocent bystander. Who is the victim, and who managed to curse her?"

"Oh dear, it was poor Mouse, but it wasn't really his fault. He and Ranma were just messing around a bit in the back yard." The woman standing next to Luna said with a concerned frown. "I do hope he's not going to be in to much trouble."

"Who'd he manage to curse ma'am." Hibuki asked, again.

That's when the girl tripped over a warped floorboard that for some reason was next to where her crying father was sitting, and dropped the baggie of ice she'd been using to cool Luna's head, the half water, half ice mix exploding over her and the black haired boy in Chinese clothing he'd just been arguing with.

Before he could blink the boy was a red headed girl, and the nice girl was a rather perplexed looking swan.

AN: Okay, here we go, another chapter.
