Italics - dreams or emphasized word

I can't remember if Ryouga has ever seen Neko-Ranma before so for the sake of this story let's assume he hasn't.

Ok just so everyone knows it's getting really hard to come up with good ideas for this so forgive me if it isn't very good or too short for your liking.

Last time

Ranma was having similar thoughts as he sat on the roof over looking the Tendo yard. 'Geez Nabiki doesn't even need martial arts to force others to do what she wants, now she even has more leverage over me.' Never let it be said that Ranma didn't understand tactics. 'Hopefully she won't take advantage of it I really don't want to be roped into anything remotely similar to that dream.'

He was broken from his thoughts when he heard a very familiar shout "Ranma prepare to die!"

P-chan meet Tora

Ranma reacted instantly and sprang away from his position just as Ryouga's foot came within inches of his head. "Nyaa!" Ranma hissed in annoyance as he charged the eternally lost boy.

Ryouga stared at Ranma's approaching form a little too long as he processed what he had heard. "Nyaa?" he mumbled just in time to take a Ki claw to the face. The cut was shallow barely leaving a mark on the lost boy. "God damn it, that fucking hurt! Ranma quit acting like a god damned cat and fight me like a man!"

Ranma hissed as he jumped off the roof and landed in the garden. "Nyaa, Nyaa!" Ryouga honestly had no idea what Ranma meant but as always he took it as an insult and growled.

"I don't know what you said Ranma but take it back!" with a battle cry he launched himself into the fray as he and Ranma tumbled around the yard in a flurry of fists, feet, and claws.

Kasumi poked her head out of the kitchen to see what was going on. "Ranma-kun, what's wrong?" upon seeing the dust cloud that was the two fighters, Kasumi frowned when she recognized who exactly Ranma was fighting. At first she tried to be civil "Alright you two settle down!" she called out. They didn't stop. Frowning she tried a few more times, when the failed to comply for the fifth time, she sighed and prepared to go out there and convince them to stop. However when she heard a yowl of pain, Ranma having apparently hit his own head on a patch of hard earth, though Kasumi didn't know that, Kasumi snapped picked up a frying pan, took aim, and threw it as hard as she could…which was apparently very hard. There was a very loud clanging noise as Ryouga yelled in pain as his hands flew up to his throbbing head.

Ryouga, who had been completely oblivious to his surroundings, was taken by surprise when a frying pan of all things came out of no where and smacked him right between the eyes. "Ow! What the hell, who threw a frying pan at me?" he muttered as he held the offending object in his hand. He was allowed no further thoughts as he was suddenly grabbed by the ears and hauled onto his feet. Ryouga blinked in surprise when he noticed that it was Kasumi, shy demure, Kasumi who had dragged him to his feet by the ears. 'What's going on?' he asked himself as Kasumi opened her mouth to speak.

"Just what do you think you're doing to Ranma-kun?" Kasumi scolded as she held Ryouga's ear close to her mouth, causing him to wince as she wasn't exactly whispering. "Now you better have a really good reason for picking on Ranma-kun like that, he's never done anything to warrant this hostility towards you Ryouga!" Ryouga opened his mouth to protest, but Kasumi didn't give him a chance to. "Don't give me some cock and bull story about him making your life a living hell! You seem awfully happy whenever Akane-chan hugs you to her bosom P-Chan!" Ryouga snapped his mouth shut as he stared in horror at the spiteful woman in front of him, this wasn't Kasumi, and there was no way the saintly Kasumi could create an aura this terrifying.

Gulping Ryouga managed to get away from her grasp and did the only thing he could think of at the moment, he bowed deeply and apologized "I am terribly sorry for disrupting the quiet of your home it won't happen again." Still bowing Ryouga took three steps back before he stood straight and jumped away, never once looking her in the eye. However once out of hearing range he cursed "Damn it, what the hell is going? On Kasumi-san is acting like Akane-san does when Ranma hits me when I'm P-chan!" Thinking back to the fight he realized that Ranma never once used any of his signature moves nor did he say a single word other than Nyaa. "Something's weird and I'm going to get to the bottom of this." His mind made up he smirked and turned left. Only to pause when he noticed a street sign in Russian "Wait…how did I get to Russia?" he asked himself quietly as he stood in the center of Moscow.

In the Tendo residence

Kasumi grumbled under her breath as she looked around to make sure Ryouga didn't somehow get lost and end up back in the yard. "Honestly the nerve of that boy barging in here like he owns the place." Ranma suppressed a cat enhanced chuckle as Kasumi reminded him of an irate mother at the moment.

"What's so funny Ranma-kun?" she asked sweetly…too sweetly. Ranma quickly shook his head as he shrank away from the older girl.

"Nyaa! Nyaa!" he yowled quickly as he backed away from her. Kasumi smiled serenely down at him as she patted him on the head "Good if you had said something mean I might have to punish you." Kasumi's tone of voice scared Ranma more than Akane's mallet ever had as he vowed to stay on Kasumi's good side.

Bored out of his mind Ranma decided to see if he could re-teach himself basic human motor functions. With his natural stubbornness he set to work with his first task, extending his arms to either side. 'Okay, just extend my arms a little bit at a time…' his thoughts trailed as his cat like instincts started to take over making his body feel unnatural braking his concentration, this had the added effect of knocking him off balance as he ungracefully fell on his ass. 'Damn it…alright looks like it'll take a while.' He thought sourly as he got up and tried again.

He spent the rest of the day trying to get his boy under control since he wouldn't be getting cured anytime soon. 'I'll never bow to the old ghoul's wishes even if it means being stuck like this forever.' He thought as he once again lost his balance having gotten his arms to extend a little further than before. 'Bit by bit I'm regaining control over my arms twenty more and it should be good.' He thought as he continued his practice

An hour later, Kasumi patted him on the head as she joined him in the yard "what are you doing Ranma-kun?" she asked politely tilting her head indicating her confusion.

Ranma glanced at her for a few seconds before he started trying to extend his arms again giving off a "Nyaa~" Kasumi watched as Ranma's arms extended further and further until it was fully extended. "Nyaa! Nyaa!" Ranma shouted out excitedly. Kasumi thought it over and realized what he was doing. With a smile she asked "How many tries did that take?"

Ranma looked at her and used his new found control over his arms to draw one-hundred in the dirt. Kasumi smiled affectionately as she kissed Ranma's cheek "That's amazing Ranma-kun you'll be back to normal in no time!" she said excitedly. Ranma nodded his head enthusiastically once he regained control over his blushing cheeks. "Nyaa~!"

When dinner time came around Ranma happily ate the fish given to him by Kasumi the smile on his face having never disappeared since his recent successes in regaining human mobility. Following his success over his arms he managed to get control over his fingers to the point where he could bend them. Akane stared at him in confusion "Hey doesn't Ranma seem happier than usual?" she asked out loud causing everyone to turn towards her.

Nabiki glanced at Ranma who had ignored the question and continued to happily eat his meal. "I don't know Akane. He always seemed to be a pretty happy kitty as it is. I mean wouldn't you be happy if you were given your favorite food for dinner?"

Akane shrugged her shoulders and mumbled "I guess so." All of a sudden they heard a 'Poof!' startled the Tendo family plus Genma looked around in surprise. Glancing at Ranma's position they noticed a rather small cloud of smoke where Ranma had been.

"What the hell happened to me Nyaa?" his higher cat influenced voice asked. Eyes widening in shock everyone paid more detail to the cloud as Soun's eyes started to water. "Wah Ranma-kun overcame the curse for Akane's sake the school will definitely be united!"

Kasumi rubbed her hands anxiously as she watched for movement in the cloud "Oh I hope he's alright" she muttered softly. She didn't expect him to answer her though.

"It's alright Kasumi I'm nyaaot hurt but…why does everything seem so big right nyaaow?" Everyone stared in shock as the smoke cleared to reveal a rather different sight than they were expecting. Ranma was there…or at least they thought it was Ranma, for in the place he had been there was a black furred Burmese breed cat. The cat looked around and spoke "Hey is everything alright you guys look like you've seen a ghost Nyaa."

Kasumi hesitantly muttered "Ranma-kun?" The cat nodded his head "Yeah that's me Nyaa." Kasumi couldn't help it she fainted.

This seemed to bring everyone out of their stupors as Soun began to check on Kasumi as Akane and Nabiki surrounded Ranma, Genma sitting back and eating everyone else's food. "Ranma is that really you?" Akane asked quietly as she stared at him.

"Yeah why are you asking Nyaa?" Ranma tilted his head, an act that was overly cute on his current body.

Nabiki stared at him and brought out a mirror "Ranma-kun…you're a cat…" she trailed off unsure how to continue. Ranma stared at his reflection for a minute or so trying to comprehend what he was seeing.

"I can't believe it…I'm a cat and I'm nyaaot freaking out Nyaa." Taking a look outside, he noticed that the moon was full. "Hey…I think it's because of the moon I'm like this." he suggested as he pointed a paw at the moon.

Nabiki looked at the moon then back at Ranma "Well…it is possible…I guess." She conceded though she didn't really want to believe it. 'I can't believe it he's like some sort of werecat now? What's next a werecheetah or something similarly outrageous?' Luckily for her the gods of chaos only liked to mess with people who voiced their incredulity.

Akane was still unsure though so she grabbed a cup of cold water and poured it on him. "Nyaa! That's cold!" Ranma's now feminine voice screamed as his fur turned red and Ranma went from being a he, to being a she. "Akane why did you do that Nyaa?" she whined as she shook out her fur. Shivering she jumped onto Kasumi's stomach and curled up into a ball enjoying the warmth her body gave off. The extra weight was enough to rouse Kasumi who groggily opened her eyes only to see a mop of red fur on her stomach. "Hi Kasumi Nyaa." Ranma said happily as she nuzzled Kasumi's hand which had come up to pat her on the head.

"Ranma-kun?" Kasumi asked quietly as she sat up Ranma shifting into a more comfortable spot on her lap enjoying the feeling of Kasumi's fingers running through her fur. "The one and only Nyaa." Kasumi could feel the smirk coming off of Ranma as she smiled. Taking the time to explain everything again the family sat around Ranma trying to figure out what to do about the newfound condition.

"Well I don't think I can turn people into something like me…though I really don't want to test that out Nyaa." Ranma, now male, mumbled as the topic of could he turn others into something like him arose. There were many nods of agreement none of them really wanting to test that particular idea.

"So…where am I going to be sleeping Nyaa?" it was meant to be an innocent question he thought could easily be answered by 'The same place you always sleep.' After all he just wanted to be sure. However he wasn't prepared for the answer he received.

"You'll be sleeping in my room Ranma-kun." Ranma stared at Kasumi in shock having not expected that answer from her at all. Everyone else was of a similar line of thought, as everyone's eyes widened to the extent that it looked as if they might pop out of their heads.

However before they could recover there was a loud "Bwee, bwee!" as Ryouga, in pig form dashed at the cat he knew to be Ranma with the full intent of killing him. Reacting instantly Ranma jumped over Ryouga's blind charge, as Akane called out for him to stop bullying P-chan.

"Can't you see he's trying to hurt me Nyaa?" Ranma called out in exasperation as he clawed Ryouga's back a little causing him to grunt in pain. Kasumi placed a hand on Akane's shoulder when she rose to hit Ranma.

"He's right Akane-chan Ranma has full rights to defend himself from that vicious pet of yours." Kasumi's voice was commanding as she squeezed Akane's shoulder tightly.

"But P-chan is just a pig! What harm could he do to Ranma?" Akane's desperate pleas to get Kasumi to see her side fell on deaf ears as Kasumi merely sighed.

"Akane-chan why don't you give P-chan a bath after Ranma knocks him out?" she suggested as the injuries finally started to wear Ryouga out. Kasumi calmly stood up and walked over to the pair as Ranma sat aside. "P-chan, meet my new pet Tora-chan."

End

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. At first I wasn't sure if I should go with the whole transform into a cat thing but I thought it over and figured it might work. Anyways I'm running out of ideas for this story so I think I'll finish it within the next two chapters or so. One more with Ranma as a cat, and another with him regaining his human mobility.

Anyways here's the list of future ideas and challenges as usual.

Flee to Shinjuku – a Ranma/Get Backers crossover sequel to 'Tendo's New Neighbor'. After fleeing Nerima after certain events Senshi and Ranma befriend the Get Backers and form an agency of their own, the T.R.A.P corps, the Transportation, Retrieval, Assassination, and Protection Corporation.

Note: if anyone has a better idea for a title I'm all ears. Also if you want a different name for the corporation Ranma and Senshi create the restrictions are that it has to be an acronym; meaning that it has to form a word using the initials of the actual title like my T.R.A.P corps. And the words used should be job types that they can do like transporter, retriever and the like.

Challenge: Ranma/Get backers crossover where Ranma and an OC form their own agency and the major arcs should deal with both Ranma's and the OC's past. Non-Yaoi The name is up to you. OC should be laid back and fun loving.

Summons one half – Naruto/Ranma multi crossover featuring the Naruto personality from my story Kitsune brothers. Happosai tries to summon a demon to put Ranma in his place; however he gets more than he bargained for when the demon he summons takes Ranma's side. It only gets weirder, when the Sailor Senshi get involved.

Note: I may need help with Sailor Senshi names (who is who) and their attack names, both for the Senshi and their enemies

Challenge: Naruto/Ranma crossover where Naruto is a demon. Naruto should be somewhat playful with a love of pranks. No Yaoi

A dragon's Summon – Naruto/Ikki Tousen crossover. The Naruto personality from my story Kitsune brothers somehow gets teleported into the Ikki Tousen world where fighters are called 'Toushi' having nothing else to do he hangs around and watches. Too bad chaos loves him as much as he loves Ramen

Challenge: Naruto/Ikki Tousen crossover where Naruto is an observer not actually aligned to any school but still manages to get targeted, and he has a fetish for assertive girls. No Yaoi

The killer, the protector, the negotiator – Rosario/ multi cross. Meet Naruto a Shinobi banished from his home for succeeding in his mission, meet his best friend Ranma a teen looking for a better life, meet Tsukune the only thing keeping the other two from ripping each other's throats out.

Note: if anyone has a cool catch phrase the three of them can say together than I'm all ears.

Challenge: Rosario/Naruto/Ranma crossover, where Tsukune, Naruto, and Ranma are friends. Ranma and Naruto should have abilities where if they said they were human then no one would believe them. No Yaoi

Sensei's sensei – Negima/multi cross. To further Negi's training in the arts of combat. Konoemon Konoe asks two combat experts to come and teach at Mahora academy with Negi. Naruto, a millennia old demon, and Ranma a twenty-one year old martial arts instructor of the highest caliber.

Challenge: Negima/Naruto/Ranma crossover Naruto is a demon and Ranma is smarter than cannon storylines. Naruto and Ranma should be able to competently teach whatever subject they get assigned to if any at all. No Yaoi

Do I have to? – One Piece/Naruto cross. Kami-sama calls in a favor Kaoru owes her. The favor? Make sure Luffy becomes king of the pirates and kill certain people. Unfortunately for him she sets a lot of restrictions on what he can and can't do. Will start after meeting chopper but before Alabasta

Note: any one have a better idea for a title for this story? I couldn't think of one.

Challenge: Naruto/One piece crossover, Naruto has full range of his abilities from the Naruto universe (and any others you add on) and he's really lazy. (Lazier than Zoro)

Officer Kitsune – Sequel to No Need for Summons Naruto/Tenchi muyo GxP it will follow the anime series closely with the added interactions of Naruto with the cast.

Challenge: Naruto/Tenchi muyo GxP crossover. It's never been done before so I want to see what you guys might come up with. No Yaoi

The Artist - Naruto/Sumomomo momomo crossover Basically Naruto meets Inuzuka Koushi, becomes his friend gets a chance for a peaceful life as an artist, and then Momoko shows up ruining that opportunity as he once again has to step up and fight.

Challenge: Naruto/Sumomomo crossover. Like the Tenchi muyo GxP it's never been done before so why not?

Alright I have a challenge for any body willing to take it. It's a Warcraft/Naruto crossover featuring Naruto. However, I want to see if anyone can make a story where Naruto doesn't become one of the various classes in the game. I also want to see if you can make it work where he only uses skills he learned from his own world. Weapons are of your choice, but if possible make it more Ninja like, so try to avoid big and ranged weapons please. I've seen some really good stories for this type of crossover but they all have Naruto either learning skills from the game or they have him become one of the classes and I kind of want to see a story where neither of those happen thanks I hope someone makes a really good story.

The reason why I always put these ideas and Challenges in every chapter now is because hopefully it may inspire some authors out there and give them a basis for a real good story, and it will also help me remember my ideas for my future stories when I actually get there.

If anyone decides to do one of the challenges I listed above please tell me so I can read it later thank you
