Chapter 5: Today has been really hectic


"Well, that was easy." Rei says after getting off the phone. "Ranma-kun, it turns out that Nabiki-san and Kasumi-san are already in Juuban. They were having dinner when I called Nabiki-san's cell phone, and they're going to come over to check on you, and Kasumi-san has some clothes for you."

"At least Akane-san isn't with them. I don't think I'm ready to deal with her yet."

"Yeah, but there is some bad news for you. Nabiki-san is going to bring a detective and some reporters to meet Ranko to wrap up her cat-girl hunt. She'll be here in about half an hour."

"Then I might as well change now." Ranma says dumping a glass of water over his head. "Gives me a chance to get dry before they get here, besides Rei-chan, your clothes fit me better this way." She says as starts drying her red hair with the towel she had brought out of the bathroom.

"Oh, this is great I've got a fiancé who can raid my wardrobe." Rei says to tease him.

"Heh, there was this one time all my clothes were in the wash and the Tendo girls wouldn't let me have a hot bath, and they were going to lone me some of their clothes, so that I wouldn't be running around topless, and they started playing dress-up with me in all their fancy clothes including a kimono, a bunny-suit, and some sexy lingerie. Akane-san got really jealous because I have a better body than her."

"Well boy, you are a very attractive girl, and a handsome young man, I expect you to make Rei-chan very happy." Grandpa Hino says coming up behind Rei.

"GRAMPS, your embarrassing me."

"Well, heh heh, you should know that I am one of the few heterosexual lesbians in the world, Prince Herb of the Musk is the only other I know of. And if Rei-chan and I get married she can be a monogamous bisexual."

"RANMA! THAT doesn't even make SENSE!"

"Sure it does Rei-chan. When I'm a boy, I like girls, but when I'm a girl I don't like boys, I still like girls. I'm fairly sure Princess Herb is the same way, when I fought with her, she kept getting distracted by my breasts."

"Wait, I thought you said Herb was a prince?!" Rei asks interrupting Ranma's story.

"Heh heh, well you see Herb also has a Nyanniichuan curse, so she is also a princess." explains Ranma.

"Kami, and how can I be a monogamous bisexual?" Rei asks in morbid curiosity.

"Well, that's obvious, if we get married you get the whole package onna-teki and otoko-teki." Ranma tells her like it's the simplest thing in the world.

(Onna = girl, Otoko = boy, Teki = type. This is what Shampoo used to call Ranma's different sexes before she figured out the curse.)

"ARGH! It hurts my brain! Ranma is everyone around you gender confused!?" Rei yells.

"Not everyone, just some of them. Kuno Tatewaki loves both Tendo Akane and Osagi no Onna, who is me, but hasn't figured out the curse, and accuses me otoko-teki of being a foul sorcerer keeping his two loves from him with black magic. Both me and Akane-san hate the moron." Ranma tells her.

(Osagi = pigtailed)

"Bhu hahahah, that's so bad." Rei says busting out laughing.

"Just wait, I'm only getting started, Kuno Kodachi, his younger sister, keeps trying to drug me and make me her love slave, but she hates Osagi no Onna. Then there is Kuonji Ukyo, my friend Ucchan, the fiancee who spent 10 years dressing as and acting like a boy while practicing Okonomiyaki Chef Martial Arts to get revenge on me and my father, she even went to an all-boy school. Then there is Konatsu, a male kunochi, raised as girl and kept in poverty by his evil stepmother and his evil older stepsisters. He has a huge crush on Ucchan and works at Ucchan's, her okonomiyaki-ya. There is also Tsubasa, a cross-dressing boy who met Ukyo when she went to that all-boys school, he chases Ucchan around trying to get a date, and she thought he was gay, but it turns out that he knew Ucchan was a girl dressed as a boy. When Shampoo first showed up, she was trying to kill me because I defeated her at a village tournament while I was a girl, and her Amazon laws say that if an outsider girl defeats an Amazon warrior, she must give her the Kiss of Death, and then hunt her down and kill her. She hunted me and pops all the way back to Tokyo, and I defeated her by accident defending Akane from her while otoko-teki, so she gave me the Kiss of Marriage, because her laws say that she must marry an outsider male that defeats her. So for a while there she was trying to seduce otoko-teki and kill onna-teki."

Rei and her grandfather are just staring at Ranma with their mouths open so far you'd think that their jaws unhinged, until Gramps recovers enough to say "Ranma that story is.. just so . . . Buwa hahahahaha." and they both loose it and are rolling on the floor laughing.

"Oh Great, just laugh it up, you know when Ucchan first found out about the curse she spent half an hour pouring hot and cold water on my head, she thought it was so much fun." Ranma says getting upset that they think his troubles are so funny.

"That's a great idea Ranma-kun!" Rei exclaims. "We'll do that when I have my friends come over, they'll get a real kick out of it, and it's sounds like a great way to break the ice about your curse."

"LETS Just Tell EVERYONE!! I Don't HAVE Enough People calling me a Cross-dresser and a Pervert Already!" Ranma-chan yells, her red battle aura filling half the room as she gets really pissed off.

Rei and Grandpa Hino shut up real fast and skitter back until their backs are to the wall and then they flawlessly perform the Saotome Secret Technique: Crouch of the Fierce Tiger while saying "Gomen, gomen-nasai, gomen-nasai, it's not that funny, not funny at all."

Ranma-chan seeing this calms down and pulls in her aura, and says "Gomen, I'm a little touche about the curse, and I've had a bad day. So Hino-dono, did my dad show you that technique?"

"Technique?"

"Yes, you did the Mouko Rakuchi-sei perfectly. The Crouch of the Fierce Tiger was developed by my father to placate the temper of the Grandmaster of Anything Goes Martial Arts. I must say that it was very effective. I’ve used it on a few occasions myself, not for the old freak though."

"Ah yes, I remember him showing us that technique when he came to pick you up from us nine years ago. Our family was very upset that he would teach the Neko-ken to a young boy, even his own son."

Ranma-chan hears several cars pull up and a door’s opening and closing. "Ah, that must be Nabiki and company, shall we go out to meet them?" She says as she helps them to their feet.

---------- ---------- -----------------

"Well, this should be the place. OK, Detective Shipiro-dono, please remember to keep Ranma and Ranko separate in front of the press, and don't ask Ranko for any ID, at some point I should figure out how to get her some, hmm." muses Nabiki.
"I still have trouble believing this, I'll expect to see some proof after we get rid of the press Tendo-san."

"That's not a problem, after the press is gone you'll get to see the usual water test and story, nobody believes it until they see it. None of us believed in magic . . . until THEY arrived. You guys do know about the panda don't you?" Nabiki asks the detective.

"Umm, actually, I've heard stories, but I've only been here a few months, before I was in Hokkaido." Shipiro replies.

"Oh, then you should know about the Lost Boy Hibiki Ryouga, he's the one who ended up in the hospital from the wedding."

"Someone put the Lost Boy in the hospital!?" Shipiro exclaims. "We've had him walk away from getting hit by cars. He’d get lost and wind up in the middle of the street somehow."

"Yeah, that's him alright." Nabiki confirms. "One of the few people that can give Ranma-kun a good fight, but I still give five to one odds against Ryouga-san."

"Now Nabiki, Ryouga-kun's not that bad is he?" asks Kasumi.

"Actually Kasumi, he's worse." Nabiki informs her. "But I can still offer those odds because Ranma-kun's always holding back. He thinks of Ryouga-san as a friend and likes to spar with him and he'll usually let Ryouga-san get lost in a fight rather than beat him up, besides the fact that Akane mallets him for picking on poor Ryouga-san, and Ryouga-san usually attacks him on sight."

"Well, it looks like Ranko-chan is coming out to greet us, can you ladies keep the reporters back for a couple of minutes so that I can talk to her alone?" asks Detective Shipiro.

"Not a problem Shipiro-dono." Nabiki replies. "I'll get them to set up down here, just send her down when you are done."

-------- ---------- -------------

"Hello Ranko-san, or is it Ranma-chan, I'm Detective Shipiro. I'd like to ask you a few questions before you talk to the press."

"I'd prefer Ranko at least until the press has left." Ranma-chan replies. "I guess Nabiki has provided you with some information. I hope she didn't charge you too much?"

"Umm, well, nothing like what she is charging the press anyway." answers Shipiro. "So what can you tell me about what you've been up to today?"

"Not much, unfortunately." answers Ranma-chan. "I don't remember anything that I do when under the Neko-Ken, the last thing I remember from the wedding is getting hit into the koi pond and you know getting wet, then I was holding an angry cat, and I ran around screaming trying to get her to let go, then I came out of it in the bathroom in the Hino's house back there."

"Right, well the assault at the wedding we have down as self-defense." Shipiro informs him. "And Hibiki-san is expected to be out of the hospital in a few days, but I was hoping you could tell us about the monster you apparently killed?"

"Sorry, I don't recall anything about a monster." answers Ranma-chan. "But I must have gotten very bloody in the fight, it took quite a bit of work to clean my hair and under my fingernails, even my toenails."

"Ergh, yes, well could you let us have the clothes you were wearing during the attack, and ahh, your hand and foot prints, for evidence to match the crime scene. Not that anyone would charge you for killing a monster, but we like to let the forensics people figure out what happened. Oh, and of course we need the blades that you used, probably some type of Tiger Claw weapon."

"I don't have any blades, when I'm in the Neko-Ken I can use ki claws sort of like energy blades I think." Ranma-chan informs the detective.

"Can you show the forensic people these ki claws?"

"Not without going into the Neko-Ken, I'm sorry."

"Well, we might have to do that then, it would back up your loss of memory as well, but it would have to be somewhere safe, like a holding cell."

"Uh, I don't think neko-teki would like that, and I'm fairly sure the ki claws can cut metal bars. I'll get with Nabiki and Hino Rei and see if we can come up with a better plan, and we'll have to ask Rei-chan what happened to the tuxedo I was wearing, she may have bagged it up already."

"OK, lets go deal with the reporters."

"Alright, but I'll warn you that I'm going to act all girly for the camera's, just don't get the wrong idea."

"This is Namaguchi Jiro, reporting for Tokyo 6 News, we're at the Hirawa Shrine in Juuban to meet Saotome Ranko, our cat-girl on the run. We can see her coming down to talk to us with Detective Shipiro from the Nerima branch of the Tokyo Police. So Shipiro-san, I guess this wraps up the cat-girl hunt."
"That's right, Ranko-san has snapped out of her neko state, and has agreed to provide some evidence for the investigation of the Juuban River Park monster crime scene. Not that we have any plans on charging her for killing a monster of course, but the investigators like to have enough evidence to solve the crime."

"Ranko-chan, what can you tell us about the monster that you killed?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember it, I have no memory of anything I do while I'm acting like a c-c-cat. I don't think it even got a hit in because I don't have any cuts or bruises . . . , but I was covered in blood and it took forever to get my hair clean, and do a manicure, pedicure, and scrub all of my skin clean."

"Yes, I imagine that killing a monster with your bare hands would get a little messy, can you tell us how you were able to do this."

"I don't want to talk about it."

"But the people would/"

"I SAID I don't want to talk about it! It's a messed up martial arts technique that NO ONE should ever learn. It's been banned from being taught by organized Dojos in Japan for a reason. The training STILL gives me nightmares!" Ranko yells before turning and walking off.

"Ugh, well that was Ranko the cat-girl who killed the latest bug-eyed monster in Juuban River Park, and this is Namaguchi Jiro from Tokyo 6 News."


--------- ----------- -----------


"Hey, Nabiki, Kasumi, I guess you guys were out here looking for me?"

"Ranko-chan, you didn't have to bite the guy's head off did you?" Nabiki asks.

"Oh my, yes you were a bit cross with him Ranko-chan." remarks Kasumi.

"Well, I'd rather not let people know too much about the Neko-Ken, we don't want some baka throwing his kid into a pit of c-c-cats now do we." Ranma whispers to them in an angry tone.

"Oh my, we wouldn't want that to happen." Kasumi replies.

"Yes, some things need to be kept secret, right Saotome?"

"That's right, Nabiki, and you've done a good job keeping my names separate today, thank you. But you did get me plastered all over the news, and I bet you made a lot of money doing it."

"Well, this fiasco was going to make the news anyway, from when they started throwing explosives at the wedding, but I managed to control the police and the press and make us a bundle of yen while doing it. But I'm sorry Ranma, I didn't invite those people, but I let them know the wedding was happening. I didn't want our fathers forcing you and Akane to get married. I knew they would crash the wedding, but I wasn't expecting it to get quite that out of hand, the fight over the Nanniichuan got everyone distracted and I didn't think Ukyo and Shampoo would use bombs, and then Akane flipped and you went neko. I'm really sorry, . . . I'll even give you some of the money I made from the news, after I take out wedding expenses and repair costs of course."

"Wow. You must have made a lot of money then. OK, apology accepted, but I may need some favors, this is going to stir up more problems, I'm sure of it."

"Why don't we go inside so I can meet this girl who can tame the savage Neko-Ranma, I have to give her that reward anyway."

"Yes, she must be a nice girl to be able to get the cat to follow out of that park into a car."

"That's right, Nabiki, you took those pictures of the monster, no wonder you made so much money from the news people."

"Well we couldn't have been more than 40 minutes behind you, and probably the third people to find the monster's body, but we were the first to stick around and call the police, and I got some great shots before they showed up."

"That's right, there was that nice couple coming out of the woods that had seen you killing that monster, but they were in a hurry."


----------- ------------ -------------


In the Hino's living room the Hinos, two of the Tendo girls, Detective Shipiro, and Ranma-chan sit down for tea and to talk away from the press.

"Well, I'll go and get the water for Ranma-kun to show you the curse Detective." Rei says going into the kitchen.

"Don't worry about it Detective, everyone needs to see it before they really believe." Ranma tells him.

"Oh my, that's true." Kasumi remarks. "The first time I saw it I was so surprised, but since then it's become so much easier to accept the strange things that happen around Ranma-kun."
"OK, I'll bite. What kind of strange things happen around Ranma if I may ask."

"Oh, the stories I could tell you, Detective, we would be here for a week, but we have seen ghosts, demons, shape changers of many types, martial artists attacking night and day and throwing energy blasts around and smashing through walls rather than use the door, love potions and magic jewelry. It's been very interesting ever since Ranma showed up."

"Ranma, here's your water, do you mind if I do the honors."

"No Rei-chan, go ahead, have a little fun. They all get a kick out of doing this for some reason." Ranma explains as Rei pours hot then cold water over his/her head several times, experimenting with how much water it takes, and pouring fast and at a trickle.

"Ugh, wow, I guess it is real. Now have we any ideas about showing the forensic people the ki claws that you used on that monster?"

"Well, you could bring them over here in the morning with a few targets and I'll get a couple of cats to scare Ranma with, I can handle Neko-Ranma and should be able to get him to scratch up a few things for you." suggests Rei.

"About that, Rei-san how were you able to bring Neko-Ranma-chan home anyway?" Nabiki asks.

"Well, we are old friends, Nabiki-san, I met little Neko-Ranma 9 years ago after he escaped the pit and clawed up his father, it was my grandmother who first broke him out of the Neko-ken, and he lived here with us for two weeks before his father came for him. We trained him to be a little less terrified of cats so that he doesn't go into the Neko-Ken very fast and usually has time to get away from a cat. I used to play with Neko-Ranma every day, and then play some more with Ranma."

"Oh my, that must have been so nice, I know Ranma-kun had very few friends while growing up on the road."

"Well, Rei-san, can I have the clothes that Ranma was wearing before, the lab wants them for evidence and from what I saw of the crime scene it's no use trying to save them."

"Of course Detective, I've got them in a bag already, I had to take them off Neko-Ranma-chan before getting her into the van, they were so bloody and still wet, blegh." says Rei going to fetch the clothes.

"Oh, Ranma-kun, I brought some of your clothes for you to change into."

"Thanks Kasumi, that was really thoughtful of you."

"Yeah, we should get ready to go home, the detective is going to give us a ride back to Nerima."

"Sorry Nabiki, but the Hinos have invited me to stay the night, and I don't want to deal with the parents or Akane tonight. Besides there is some news that is going to set Akane and the others off when they hear it, and I want to avoid that for a little while."

"What news is that Saotome? You wouldn't have found another of your many fiancees."

"Yeah, you guessed it Nabiki, Oyaji engaged me to Rei-chan when we were here nine years ago, he took some scrolls for several ki techniques and something like 500,000 yen as her dowery. So I have to consider her as a real fiancee with a better claim than Ukyo's, maybe better than your family's. The techniques on those scrolls are a good part of the reason that I'm as good as I am. Without those techniques I would have lost the fights with Herb and Saffron, maybe even the fights with Ryouga when he learned the Shi Shi Houko-dan or the Bakusai Tenketsu."

"Oh my, Akane isn't going to like that."

"Nobody is going to like this news Kasumi, so Ranma what are you going to do?"

"Well, I accepted the engagement with Rei, and told her that we have a year for the courtship, and I'm not going to marry any of the others until that year is up. So tell Akane not to worry about them staging another wedding, I won't go through with it until a year is up, if she is the one I choose."

"Oh dear, this doesn't sound good for Akane."

"I'll come back in time for dinner tomorrow, I'm going to play Neko for the police in the morning, and then meet some of Rei's friends and get to know her a bit better since I hadn't seen her in nine years."

"Well, we better get going or the nice detective will leave us here, good night Ranma.

"Yes, good night Saotome, see you tomorrow."

"Good night Nabiki, Kasumi, thanks for looking out for me today."


------------------------------

05-02-04 Minor changes, I'll clean it up more later. I'm working on using all the name suffixes correctly for different people talking. I'm supposed to make Ranma somewhat rude, leaving of suffixes for a lot of people, and Nabiki should be polite and business like or sarcastic, but not rude, while Kasumi is always polite and proper. I'm still feeling out how the Tendo sister address each other, I think it should be Imouto or Onee with chan or san, or by name usually without chan or san.
