Fangs and Claws

March 3rd. 1988

"So where did he say they were heading this time?" Asked a brown haired woman.

"Gifu I think. Happosai wants to try and spy on the foreign tourist women when they're bathing." Came the reply of her Kimono clad friend.

With their husbands forced on a trip for a while thanks to their perverted gnome of a master, Kimiko Tendo and Nodoka Saotome thought it a good idea to catch up on old times. They'd been friends since childhood. In fact it was Kimiko who introduced Genma to Nodoka at their wedding.

Elsewhere in the room Kimiko's three children were in the middle of activities more interesting to children rather than simply talking like the older women. Kasumi was sitting in the middle of the floor with her two year old sister Nabiki trying to get her to play a proper game with her toys but failing miserably since the younger girl had not yet grasped the concept of structured playing as of yet.

Sitting, or rather laying in the child carrier next to her mother was the recently born Akane Tendo who was quite happy to lay there and watch her sisters enjoy themselves since she also had not yet grasped on how to entertain herself and so she did so by simply watching what was going on around her much as any child her age might.

"Isn't she just a little darling?" Nodoka gushed. "I don't think I've ever seen a child so quiet at that age."

"I can't believe it either." Kimiko gestured at the other two children at play "Those two might look well behaved now but they ate like boys back then. Speaking of which, how has Ranma been? No trouble I hope." Kimiko said as she motioned to the small bundle latched onto the part where Nodoka's Kimono was open.

"*Sigh* What you said about the girls is pretty accurate. I swear he simply won't stop eating! I've had to go out and buy powdered milk because he drains me every time and still wants more." She said as the tiny mouth detached itself from her breast and started whimpering. Nodoka sighed before shifting her kimono and bra so that the other breast was now exposed, upon which Ranma latched onto and eagerly began once again feeding.

"Wow! You weren't joking." Said Kimiko as she reached down for Akane who had started whimpering from hunger herself.

"No. I swear it's like taking care of a...OW...OW...OW...OW!" Said Nodoka as she jolted up from the couch with her face etched in obvious pain.

"Are you okay?" Said Kimiko as she stood up to check if her friend was alright. Kasumi and Nabiki both looked at their auntie for a second before turning back to their playing. Akane though chose to keep watching her.

"Yes *OW* Ranma just bit me is all." She explained as she moved the tiny head away from herself revealing two tiny marks upon her breast that looked like blunt animal teeth.

Kimiko's eyes widened in shock before settling on the little boy whose mouth she could see contained two small fang-like teeth.

"Wha? How? Babies only a few months old aren't supposed to be teething of all things." Said a slightly stupefied Kimiko Tendo.

Nodoka just gave her a small tired smile before lifting Ranma over her shoulder and patting the infants back gently to burp him. She then began moving as to leave the room with the now sleepy Ranma in her arms.

"I guess he's just maturing faster than most. I have to put him to bed okay?" After seeing the nod from her friend she headed up to her and her husband's room where at the foot of the western style bed was a white crib with a cat motif mobile dangling over it.

She gently lowered the now sleeping bundle into crib. Watching the baby for a few moments to make sure he was completely asleep. She absentmindedly ran a finger gently down his cheek.

"Ranma." She said gently and quietly. "We are all that is left my son…"

17 Years Later

*RANMA NO BAKA*

The sound of something extremely heavy was heard impacting something and passers by were treated to the sight of a red blur exploding through the roof of the Tendo dojo and into the sky towards the waning afternoon sun.

"Mmm Ranma must have upset Akane again." Said one onlooker before continuing on his way.

The aqua transsexual martial artist attained the apex of his flight as he reached the border of Nerima causing him to crash somewhere in the Juuban district. He was quite fortunate for a soft landing this time as he crashed into a canal with a mighty splash.

"Damn Tomboy." Said the irritated red head as she leaped out of the water and onto the grass along the street. Lifting her shirt over her head to wring it out and unconsciously shaking herself like a wet animal. Her male mind ignoring the fact she was giving a guy passing on a bike on the other side of the canal a free show. That is until he crashed into a lamp post with a stupid grin on his face.

"What the hell was her problem anyway? All I did was say that her gorilla strength came in handy for breaking those bricks." Ten years on the road hadn't exactly given her a lot of tact.

She moved to head back to the dojo when a familiar voice called out behind her.

"Ranko dear."

Her face gained a look of horror for a passing moment before she spun around on her heel with the brightest and most welcoming look a girl could ever have.

"Auntie Nodoka. How nice to see you. What are you doing here?" She asked with her uber cute smile.

"Well you are right in front of my house dear." Said the voice with a hint of smugness and amusement.

The girl opened her eyes and saw that the woman was actually standing in front of a gate that led to a rather large looking house which directly faced the small canal which the girl had recently plunged into.

The girl pulled the back of her pigtail in embarrassment while laughing nervously as Nodoka noticed the soaking state of the girls clothing.

"Oh my. Ranko you didn't fall into the canal did you?" The older woman said in a worried tone.

"Well...sorta." Said Ranma not really betting that her mom would believe it

"How on earth did you do that?" Nodoka asked with a slight shake of her head "Oh well, only one thing to do about it dear. You will have to come in then. I was planning to visit the dojo but first you need a change of clothing and a warm bath." Said the woman in a tone that dared her to argue.

Ranma would not have argued anyway as she had all but frozen at the word bath.

"There now. Feel better?" Asked his mother happily.

"Oh yeah. Much" She replied flatly under her breath as she nodded. 'Thank Kami she didn't walk in on me in the bath'. She thought as she idly rubbed her neck.

She could have passed for her mother's clone. Well except for the woman's pointed ears, auburn hair and that she was taller than any other woman she'd ever met. The design of the Kimono was exactly the same as the one Nodoka was wearing, a dark blue with a light blue floral pattern over it with a deep red almost brown sash to tie it. She was also shifting about slightly because of the bra that Nodoka had from one of their many shopping trips. It was a good fit and she liked the feeling of not having her large and heavy assets hanging loosely on her chest, though she'd never be caught dead wearing one if she wasn't forced nor admit to liking the way it felt! No way. She also did manage to use amaguriken speed to switch out those disturbingly lacy panties for her now dry boxers, which Nodoka still disapproved of her wearing, without her mother noticing.

"Good now we can head over to the dojo and see if we can catch my family. It is vital I speak to Ranma before tonight." She said with a hint of urgency in her voice.

"Oh I don't know about that auntie. Ranma and Genma went on a training trip today and they won't be back for a while." Said the girl as she repeated the standard excuse for dodging her mother. Though she was curious as to why her mother needed to talk to her regular self before tonight.

"Really..." Said the older redhead in a tone that Ranma was not familiar with. Suspicious. "Because I phoned up the dojo yesterday and Kasumi said that both Ranma and Genma had left that day. Why is it you say they left today when Kasumi said they left yesterday?" The woman said with an eyebrow raised.

'Uh oh' Thought Ranma. Kasumi had tried to tell him something yesterday but he'd been to busy dodging pig-boys umbrella to hear.

"Well...um...You see." 'Damn it. Where's Nabiki when I need her?' Thought the girl who looked seconds away from a breakdown.

"As I thought, you are lying to me young lady." Nodoka's firm was tone and was clear that she wanted nothing but the truth.

"No I..." She was cut off as the look upon Nodoka's face now matched that of her tone. 'Don't speak' it Said.

"I was starting to get suspicious. I visit that dojo far too frequently for my husband and son to go on as many trips as you all say they do. In fact they always seem to have just left on these so called training trips on the days I come around and are always back before my next visit only to leave again before my next visit. No sufficiently skilled martial artist would go away to train for only a handful of days."

This was bad. Really bad. If his mom figured out his secret then his neck could kiss his shoulders goodbye.

"I don't want to hear another peep out of you young lady. We are going to the Tendo's and I am going to get my answer right from my son's mouth." She said as she motioned for the door.

Unable to make eye contact Ranma just lowered her head as she shuffled towards the door before she was tapped in the legs by the wrapped bundle hiding the Saotome family katana.

"Straighten yourself up and walk properly. You'll wear out the soles of those shoes walking like that." The woman said in a commanding tone.

A spring in her step later and she was out the door and towards both the dojo and her imminent demise.

Back at the Tendo dojo a very typical scene was taking place. With the old master away on an exotic panty hunting expedition his hosts, and even more so his two long suffering students, could relax. Genma and his old friend Soun were playing Shogi, both trying to outdo the other in not so much as skill as cheating.

Kasumi was out in the yard hanging up clothing. She was humming a happy tune in rhythm with the small bird that had taken to sitting on her shoulder.

Nabiki was at the table munching on a cookie while watching one of her TV dramas. Hey she can't be money grubbing and scheming 'all' the time.

Akane was doing something a little more interesting. She was sitting at the table but she had out a bottle of wax and was going over her 'Pervert Pulverizer H-Series Mallet™' which had a few scuff marks from where she hit Ranma exceptionally hard earlier today and thus setting off the chain of events that were about to take place.

"You know if you keep hitting Ranma like that that 'very expensive' mallet is going to break." Said Nabiki with emphasis on the cost of said item.

"Mmph. Well if that idiot would stop being so stupid then maybe I wouldn't have to hit him so hard!" The girl said indignantly. "Call me a Gorilla. Honestly…" she trailed off mumbling

"Might as well tell him to stop breathing." Came her sisters sarcastic reply.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"I'll get it." Said Kasumi from outside. She moved back through the house to get to the front gate. Seconds later they heard the deliberately loud exclamation of "Oh hello 'auntie Saotome' how are you? Is that Ranko-Chan with you auntie?"

*Splash*

Genma was once again pandafied and playing with a beach ball in a most innocent manner.

"Ranma's with her?" Nabiki smirked as she brought out her ever ready camera which she kept on hand for just such occasions. If Ranma-Chan was with her mother that probably meant that she'd already 'dolled' up. If she got a picture of that she'd have those horn dogs at Furinkan lining up around the block for pictures.

She wasn't disappointed when Nodoka came in with Ranma-Chan right behind her looking like her shrunken clone. Nabiki's mind was already considering how she could get both of the stunning kimono clad ladies in the shot.

"Good afternoon Nodoka." Said Soun as he stood up to greet his guest, his face showing none of his disappointment at not being able to finish his game.

"Good afternoon Soun. As well to you girls." She said politely.

"Wow. I can't believe that you were able to get Ranko into a kimono Auntie." She said in a false sweet voice. "Would you mind if I took a picture? Her friends at school wouldn't believe it otherwise."

Ranma paled while Nodoka smiled "Why of course dear. Just be sure I get a copy of it Nabiki dear."

"Why of course auntie." Nabiki smirked a little and pulled out her camera. A click of the shutter later and she had the near identical beauties on memory. Ranmas embarrassed expression only added to the cuteness factor which made the difference of how the copies sold. The smile would make it sell in the hundreds rather than dozens. Half likely coming from the Kuno's alone. One to drool over and the other to use as target practice.

"Thank you auntie." She said sincerely.

"You are welcome Nabiki dear." She said. "Now I must get right to the point. Where are my son and husband? It is of vital importance that I speak to Ranma today" She said calmly.

"I already told you Auntie, they've gone on a training trip and won't be back for a while." Kasumi said in her normally happy tone.

Nodoka looked at her neutrally for a few seconds before repeating herself. This time at Akane.

"Where are my son and husband Akane?" She repeated in the same neutral tone.

Akane really didn't know what to do. This woman was like a surrogate mother to her and as far back as she could remember trying to lie to her mother was like trying to make Kasumi cry. You just didn't do it.

She couldn't even look the Saotome Matriarch in the eye when she swallowed her guilt. "There away on a training trip auntie." Kami that felt awful.

Nodoka's calm stare didn't help much. She just wanted to shrivel up right there under the weight of those accusing eyes.

Nodoka leveled her gaze on the entire Tendo family. As piercing as a cats stare they all felt themselves drawn into her eyes and unable to look away.

A voice filled their world and though it was but a whisper it felt all encompassing.

"I know you are lying."

These words helped to shock them back to reality. Their almost slack expressions from being drawn into her eyes were replaced by surprised ones.

"HA ha ha Don't be silly Nodoka. They left on the trip just yesterday is all. Right Kasumi?" Soun laughed nervously while discreetly prompting his oldest daughter into action.

Before she could even open her mouth Nodoka cut her off.

"Really? That's interesting considering that Ranko-Chan here told me that they left today." She said firmly.

Akane managed to sneak a glare at the girl as if to say 'Way to go Baka'. A look that Ranma knew promised a bashing later.

"Now don't start blaming Ranko, Akane. With all the times I have visited only to find them on yet another training trip has lead me to believe that they are not training but rather avoiding me. They have something that they do not wish to tell me or do not want me to see don't they?" The firm commanding tone washed over them leaving no room for argument or falsity.

She spoke again.

"They never left the house did they? They are still here."

The Tendo's and disguised Saotome's were all grasping for straws. They honestly didn't know what to do.

"Yes auntie they're still here." Came the quiet reply of the younger red-head.

Okay when they meant they didn't know what to do they weren't even considering telling the truth. That's just crazy!

The woman turned to look at the smaller redhead. Ranma wanted nothing more than to run and hide at the moment.

"Then where are they Ranko? Surely after a decade apart my family would want to see me?" Said the older woman in a tone that was more saddened than firm.

"Well you see..." She stopped and looked round the table. Akane looked ready to mallet her (no surprise), Nabiki was smirking and clearly amused by the situation, Kasumi's serene appearance never left her face but Mr. Tendo and her panda father were both frozen like statues. Even the ball her father had been playing with seemed to be suspended in the air as if time had frozen.

"What?" The woman said gently. Hoping her stark contrast to earlier would coax the girl.

"They..." She couldn't take it anymore. She had to tell the truth. "The truth is that I'm..."

"They'll be back tomorrow morning." Cut in Nabiki. This caused the auburn haired woman to whip around and face her.

"That is not good enough Nabiki!" Said Nodoka almost shouting. "I need to speak to Ranma before tonight. It is of the utmost importance!"

Nabiki seemed unfazed by the near frenzied woman and simply stored the outburst under possible use for later.

"Sorry but all they told us was that they'll be back tomorrow. They didn't even say where they were going." She said evenly. Sounding to trusting to be a lie yet to suspicious to be the truth. Just like a politician.

"Are you certain Nabiki? Ranko did just say that they were still here so how can I be sure that one or even all of you aren't lying?" Nodoka said with some uncertainty.

Nabiki put on her best trusting smile. "Please trust me auntie. They'll definitely be back before nine tomorrow morning so you can come round and visit then."

"Well." Nodoka looked at her disguised son warily. "If you are sure Nabiki…"

With that said the older woman stood up to leave.

"You don't have to leave yet Nodoka. You just got *Oopmh*" Said Soun before his eldest daughter discreetly elbowed him in the ribs.

"I do not wish to impose. I was just hoping to catch those two by surprise for this visit but I don't mind waiting a day." With that she turned and headed for the door followed by Kasumi.

As soon as the Saotome woman was out of the door the rest of the household slumped forward and let out collective breaths they hadn't realized that they had been holding before all except Kasumi focused a group glare on Ranma.

"You BAKA! What were you thinking?!" Shouted Akane.

"I was thinking about telling my mom the truth you stupid tomboy." Ranma fired back at her wayward fiancée.

"Oh? Eager to get your head cut off Saotome?" Said Nabiki in her usual 'I dare you to talk back to me' tone.

Her father, now human and soaking, gave her his version of the third degree.

"Oh what a cowardly son I've raised." He fake sobbed. "Taking the easy way out and just letting his mother kill him instead of doing what's right."

"Excuse me?! Sorry Pop but we're gonna have to tell mom one of these days and we can't just keep pretending to be Ranko and her pet panda for the rest of our lives!"

*Who can't!* Read the sign of the panda playing with a ball where her father once was.

"Grrr IDIOT!" This snarled out exclamation was followed by a fist connecting with an endangered species as the panda went flying through the roof.

Only Kasumi and Nabiki really noticed what Ranma had just done. Well Ranma beats his dad all the time, but she'd never sent him through the roof before. Nor had Ranmas eyes ever seemed to be slitted before. They surmised it may be the Neko-ken but that only made people 'act' like cat's not look like one.

"You're paying for that Saotome." Nabiki said absentmindedly.

"Yeah Yeah." Said the girl as she headed for her room. "I'm getting out of this thing and into my normal stuff."

Nabiki smirked and headed to her room to double check that the connections to the cameras she'd hidden in Ranmas room were still working.

After all while the cuteness factor changed the picture sales from their dozens to their hundreds. The nudity factor she hoped to capture in a moment brought up the sales from their hundreds to their thousands.

Later That Night...

Ranma lay in his futon asleep. Across the room his panda father slept soundly since all the extra fat was better than any pillow or cover.

Ranma however was not sleeping soundly. While still unconscious his body was still registering a steadily rising pain that was sweeping throughout his body. Like a pressure deep inside him was building and threatened to make him explode in a gory fashion. Yet still did the pigtailed boy sleep. His expression growing more and more restless until finally, like a bubble popping, the pain vanished. Only then did he shoot up in his futon awakening from the pain induced nightmare.

"Huff...Huff...man that was frea...AGH!!!" Ranma cried out as a whole new pain wracked his now conscious body.

This was a whole different pain. No pressure like the last, more like someone was squeezing him. This felt like something was trying to force its way out of him. He got to his feet and staggered, catching himself on the floor with his hands shot out as the pain caused him to fall to all fours. So blinding was the pain that he could barely feel his body hair turn a much darker color and rapidly grow as thick as the pelt on an animal, spreading over nearly every part of him. The hair on his head quickly undid itself from the pony tail as it reached the back of his knees and coming loose from the dragon whisker as it was way too much for it to contain.

If he'd been wearing shoes they would have exploded as his feet and hands grew larger, sprouting claws where his nails once were. He would have been screaming and alerting the whole house by now, however it's very hard to make any noise come from your mouth when your entire head and throat were reshaping themselves. The change was nothing too drastic, it was rather just like someone put a hose attached to a helium canister in his mouth. The skull was first followed by any organs that suddenly found themselves loose in the sockets. Then his jaw followed. Once his jaw had stopped two rather prominent changes occurred. His two top incisors grew to ridiculous proportions, jutting out until they reached his chin and they appeared to be sharp as daggers. The final change was when his ears became pointy.

His muscles doubled in size then doubled again until he looked like someone had stuffed a couple dozen melons under his skin. That look didn't last as the last few changes began to overtake him. His bones felt like they were on fire as the rest of his skeletal structure swelled and grew harder like his skull. This caused his shirt to split across his back and his Short's tightened and tore almost to the point of falling completely away just barely keeping his dignity.

Of course one bone in particular needed more than just added size to accommodate the proper height.

"AAAAAIIIIEEEE!!!!"

An ear splitting shriek filled the air. This was not a manly shout or a yelp in pain. This was a full blown shriek that man or woman would emit were their spine to be broken under its own violation. The broken parts moved apart as new vertebrae and cartilage formed between them making the boy shoot up in height. The same thing occurred against his tail bone as a miniature spine grew out of it and almost instantly grew muscle, flesh and fur over it to become a black furred tail.

Genma, and most likely the rest of the household, had been awoken by his son's girly cry of pain. He pulled out a sign to hit the boy with *Boy what are you doing in...* flip *Meep!* amazingly a panda actually made the sound in addition to having it written on the sign it held shaking paws even as it became frozen at the sight before it. That's when the door slung open and Akane jumped in wielding her 'Pervert Pulverizer H-Series Mallet™. The rest of the Tendo family stood right behind her.

"RANMA NO BAKA!!! IT'S THREE IN THE MORNing...? Mister Saotome where's Ranma?" She asked finding the room devoid of her favorite stress toy.

The panda just raised a meaty paw and shakily pointed at the open window. The very open window that looked like the panda himself tried to jump through it. Bits of wood and glass lay scattered outside as something obviously big and reckless seemed to have shot through it.

"Oh my. Something must have broke in and kidnapped Ranma." Said Kasumi in concern.

"No sis. The wood and glass is outside so I'm guessing Ranma did that himself." Said Nabiki with a puzzled expression.

"Grrr THAT JERK!" Shouted Akane. Her family took a step back as the youngest suddenly lit up like a bonfire with a fiery aura. She spun on her heel moved to go down the hall.

"Akane where do you think your going?" Said Soun trying to be firmly in his daughters way. His daughter shot him a glare before pushing past him.

"I'm going after that baka and dragging him home!" She said before diving into her room and coming back out fully dressed in a typically speedy anime fashion.

"WAAHH! MY BABY'S RUNNING OFF INTO THE NIGHT BY HERSELF!" Went Soun using the infamous 'Tendo Geyser of Doom' technique.

Nabiki and Kasumi stared after their sister as she left. They weren't martial artists so if the worse came to the worst then it was best they weren't there. That didn't mean they wanted to send their sister out alone. Nabiki marched into the room and stopped in front of the quivering still Panda.

"Alright, get up and get after your son. I don't want my baby sister out there with Kami knows what out there." She demanded. The panda just kept shaking.

"Mr. Saotome. MR. SAOTOME!!!!" She shouted in his ear to no effect. She looked at the sheer terror in the bear's eyes. "What the hell did you see?"

She looked at the ever present sign the panda had on the floor. Across it was scribbled something, like it had been written by a shaking hand. She picked it up and squinted.

*M-mo-mo-MONSTER!!!*

"Monster?" She looked out the broken window. What Nodoka said earlier came to mind, about her need to see Ranma.

"Something tells me I should have let Ranma just tell her…"

Some Unknown Location

A computer came to life as a program that had been running for decades came out of the background program area and ran to full capacity once more. A map came up and quickly began zeroing in on Japan. It continued to zero in until it pinpointed the district of Nerima.

"Finally." Came a rough yet masculine voice. "I thought I'd never find you."

Back In Nerima

The excruciating transformation had caused Ranma to pass out. That didn't mean that he was out for the count.

Ranma-Neko ran through the empty streets of the quiet district. Its human mind having blacked out from its transformation this was a creature that relied completely on animal instinct. So as an animal its mind settled on three of the most important things its still adolescent body felt it needed

"Food" "Shelter." "A mate."

The it knew in the back of it's mind it knew that it couldn't get what it wanted from where it just left (By acquainting the Tendo's place with Akanes cooking and her mallet, she was more a friend than a mate) but it knew of two other places where it could get all three.

Shampoo was awakened by a clattering down in the restaurant kitchen. She looked at her clock seeing it was 3:12am. She grabbed hold of her Bonbori and crept down the stairs hoping, no matter how unlikely, that she wouldn't wake her great grandmother or that stupid Mousse.

Slowly edged her way down the last step where the upstairs lead into the kitchen. There was no door so she could quite clearly see pots n' pans and food flying across the floor. She could also make out the clear sound of something with powerful jaws eating something.

'No free meals. Great grandma punishes me enough when I do that for Ranma.' She thought heatedly.

She peeked her head round the corner to see what it was before ducking back in. Her heart racing she dared another look. 'Maybe she won't mind just this once.'

She couldn't see it very well in the dark but it was by far the biggest...whatever it was...that she'd ever seen. Head nearly brushing the ceiling and more muscle than a bull. It was reaching into the cabinets and biting down on whatever it could reach.

A mighty warrior she may be but caution and common sense told the young Amazon that it might be a good idea to get her many times great grandmother.

Unfortunately in her backing up she accidentally hit her foot against a torn open can of something that had been tossed aside when it had been licked clean.

The massive creature turned around on her. Its bright blue eyes shining like a cat in the dark. She still couldn't see its face but the two glints near its mouth in the minimal room lighting weren't comforting. Even less so when it seemed to sniff the air in her direction and move towards her.

She hefted up her Bonbori and steeled her resolve. She was a proud Amazon champion. She wasn't about to allow this Musk looking thing to harm her without a fight no matter how big or 'scary' it was.

As it got closer it reached out a hand towards her. She lashed out with the melon hammer with greater speed than anything that big had a right to move and managed to smash the giant beast clear upside the head. She smiled at her victory over such a creature...for all of three seconds as her mace slowly cracked and shattered after making contact with the skull of the black furred monster.

It growled menacingly and lashed out at the girl, grabbed her left arm and lifting her off the floor. Once it had her up in the air it swiped at her chest with it's free hand tearing off the top off her pajama top revealing her ample chest and then pushing her against the wall.

Shampoo's eyes widened in fear as the creature then started to nuzzle its face against hers giving off a soft growling purr while grabbing onto her exposed bosom with one hand and rubbing harder than was pleasurable to the girl. Its intention was obvious. She did whatever she could but all her kicks and punches with her remaining arm only seemed to urge it more to mark her as its mate.

Its jaw opened and its fang's were inches from her neck...

*Boom*

It was knocked away from the young Amazon as a golden ball of Ki slammed into its side sending it flying it through the wall and into the restaurant area.

At the stairs was a wrinkled gnome of a woman wearing a nightgown and holding her hands in a cupped position. Next to her was a boy in long sleeved pajamas holding out his empty hands like he would throw something.

Shampoo crumpled to the floor in shock. Knowing full well what she had been seconds away from but not truly comprehending it. Cologne seemed to vanish from the stairs and appear in front of the girl quickly checking her over for injuries.

"Are you all right Great Granddaughter?" Said the ancient woman quickly.

Shampoo nodded dumbly

"Did it bite you?" The old woman quizzed again.

Shampoo began to shudder as the thought of what had been happening started to truly dawn on her.

"Shampoo! Did it bite you!?" The old woman said even more forcefully.

Shampoo continued to shudder but managed to shake her head in a 'no'.

The old woman looked over her descendant once and was satisfied that the girl was unharmed.

"Mousse, stay with Shampoo and 'DO NOT' touch her. She is in no condition for your idiocy at the moment." Cologne said as her eyes turned towards the hole in the wall.

Mousse looked at the girl of his dreams before turning back and nodding. He had to agree for once that this was hardly the time to declare his love for her.

"What about you?" He said as he heard a clatter and saw through the hole that the creature was getting back up.

"I have a lycanthrope to deal with." She said before jumping after it.

She landed in front of it just as the animal minded boy had raised himself to his full height. A lesser person would stepped back in fear at the sight of something nearly bigger than five of themselves but Cologne was over 300 and had seen her fair share of Lycans. Though she must admit if only to herself that she had never seen one like this before, nor one this big. It was almost completely black save for the very hard to notice silver stripes, almost like a tigers, on its face, arms and around its chest and abdomen.

"No matter what you are your still just a kitten compared to me deary." She said with a slight cackle as she got into as good a stance as her small frame would allow.

The beast growled before lunging at her with all its ferocity. Its giant hand swiping at her missed thanks to her incredible skill and incredible shortness. She jumped over a blow which smashed the table behind her to bits and gathered her Ki in her hands to take out this creature with one blow. Glowing as she did.

It was then that her glow revealed the creatures face. It might be furry and curled into animalistic fury but the features were unmistakable.

"Ranma…" She whispered.

Time slowed down as she continued to fall above the transformed martial artists head. Another claw heading her way, glowing with the power of the Neko-ken as it did. Faster than before she tilted her body out of the way and fell back to the floor and released all the Ki she had gathered into another blast aimed at the young lycan's chest.

Ranma-Neko shot out of the store and into a wall on the other side of the street. Shaking himself off like a real cat he shakily stood up and looked towards the restaurant those doors had blown of their hinges from the force he had flown through them. Cologne stepped out into the cold night and stared directly at the boy turned beast. Her aura flaring as big as she could manage.

Animals might not be intelligent like a human but they run on a far more instinctive level than one. For example an animal will, under normal circumstances turn tail and run when they encounter something larger or more dangerous than itself, the fight or flight instinct, and right now Cologne with the massive aura she was putting out was the most dangerous thing in the world to this new lycan. So it was no surprise that the hulking brute that was Ranma-Neko literally turned tail and ran.

Cologne watched the boy flee into the night before collapsing on one knee. She certainly wasn't as spry as she used to be. It was most fortunate for her that Ranma, even with the Neko-Ken apparently at his disposal, didn't seem used to that body. That last blast and projection of her aura had left her significantly drained. She had fully expected the blast to at least crush a few of Ranma's ribs instead of him just getting up and shaking the blow off. An extended fight against that kind of endurance was not wise.

"Cologne." She heard a voice cry out. She turned and saw Akane Tendo dressed for the day running towards her.

"Good morning Miss Tendo." Said the old woman tiredly. "Looking for son-in-law?"

"Yes." The younger female said before narrowing her eyes. "You had something to do with Ranmas kidnapping didn't you!"

Cologne looked at the girl for a moment before chuckling slightly.

"YOU DID!" She shouted indignantly. "I bet Ranma is in there right now cuddled up to that hussy of a grand-daughter of yours!"

She would have continued if not for Cologne's wilted glare.

"I'm on one knee completely exhausted from Ki usage. The doors of my restaurant have been blown of their hinges. The insides a wreck and I was forced to let Mousse console my great grand-daughter right after she was nearly raped by a monster. Does it really 'look' like I'm behind this?"

Akanes expression changed from one of anger and confusion to one of concern.

"Is...Is she okay?" She asked softly.

"Yes, but right now we have more pressing concerns. I managed to chase him away but we have to find him again before he really hurts someone. We'll need Shampoo and Mousse to come with us before we go after him."

"I don't have time. I need to find Ranma!" The girl said quickly only for the old woman to turn and enter the restaurant.

"We find the one that did this and we find Ranma." Cologne said leaving Akane dumbstruck for a few seconds before her face became twisted with more rage than one person's ever shown.

"WHAT!!!"

That place was no good. The food was all dry and hard to eat and the attractive female was protected by a stronger, older one.

Fortunately Ranma-Neko knew of another place that had both of what he desired. One with no threats to getting it either.

"Ukyo-sama I want to go to bed." Whined a tired voice.

"You can go to bed when you tell me what I want to hear!" Came a heated reply.

"I've been telling you for the past 5 hours." Said a muffled feminine voice.

"And you'll KEEP telling me until I agree with you." That was another muffled feminine voice.

A moan was her reply followed by the sounds of eating. You see for the past several days' Ukyo had an idea for a brand new okonomiyaki recipe stuck in her head. Unfortunately she can't seem to get it out the way she wants to. The first several dozen attempts all ended up with her pulling an Akane and almost ruining the grill. It was during what was to be her last attempt of the night mere hours before that she had finally found the recipe she had been searching for and indeed it was the greatest okonomiyaki she had ever created.

Though...it still just wasn't 'quite' there.

So she cooked it, and cooked it, and cooked it again. Making up batch after batch of batter for her masterpiece each time a little different. Using herself and her gender confused Ninja waiter/waitress as the guinea pigs. No matter how long it took. Even when Konatsu said he had okonomiyaki backed up his throat and to his uvula she said as long as he could taste it he would eat it and idolizing her like he did he kept on going.

"Here you are Konatsu. Dig in." Ukyo said eagerly pushing a partially eaten cabbage okonomiyaki toward him.

The boy raised his tired head off the table he'd been resting it on to look at the normally delicious food. It's amazing how the mind works isn't it. I mean when your hungry anything can look like the most delicious meal in the world. When you're full to bursting though then even your favorite food looks utterly disgusting. To Konatsu the normally heavenly cooking of his beloved master looked like he'd upchucked one back on top the plate.

"Can't you eat it Ukyo-sama? Anymore and I'll burst." He said in a pathetic and tired tone. The girl in question just smiled and leaned forward.

"I've already tried some. You know a chef can't boast about their work unless someone else tries it as well." She said in a deceptively cheery tone.

Unable to resist his master's cute smile he shakily lifted his fork. His sleep deprivation and fullness induced delirium robbing him of the skill to use chopsticks he would normally and tore off the smallest piece he could manage. He brought the foul smelling (in his opinion) dish to his lips and...

*CRASH*

The front doors imploded as a very large black mass burst through. The splintered remains sailed over the two residents heads and landed with a thud on the other side of the room.

The one who was wide awake stared at the thing as it rose to its full height. It was about 8 to 9 feet tall and as built like a tank. Even under the black and shining silver fur that was matted from foodstuffs and the remains of a nightshirt she could still see muscle definition beyond anyone she'd ever met. If she had looked at the face closely she would have noticed something familiar but for now all she saw were the two giant fangs jutting out and the crazed feral eyes looking at her like a piece of meat.

Under normal circumstances, by which I mean if she knew it was Ranma looking at her like that, she wouldn't mind. Maybe even in light of his new form. But right now however her response was to whip out her over sized battle spatula and hold it in a threatening stance towards the monster in front of her.

Ranma-Neko though paid no heed to the giant razor utensil in front of him at the moment. Even though sex is sometimes the foremost thought in an animals mind food is considered way more important, doubly so perhaps when one considers the Saotome appetite. So as good as Ukyo looked and smelled to him he saw and smelled something much better out of the corner of his eye. He stalked toward his prize his tail whipping behind him in anticipation.

"STAY BACK YOU CREEP!!!" Shouted the chef as she took a swipe at the behemoth with her battle-spatula. It was only Ranma's instinctual awareness of danger and reflexes that saved him from the blow. With animal grace he dodged around the girls attack causing her to fall off balance. He rushed past her and shot his hand forward.

Konatsu was both too full and far too tired to even try to stop this monster as it struck in front of him since it looked like Ukyo-sama could handle it. The beast grabbed his plate and tipped the contents down its throat. All he could do was look up at it for a few stark moments before uttering a "Thank you." before hitting the counter top and falling asleep instantly.

Its hunger sated for the moment Ranma-Neko now turned his gaze downward for the other object of his desire. The one on the table looked like a female but didn't smell like it. He'd put him/her as a rival male but it was to small and weak to be considered as such. His gaze shifted to the other one who was lifting herself off the floor. Her backside raised first in what he considered an inviting fashion. Yes this one was definitely a female and he could tell she was ready for him.

Ukyo had been raising herself off the floor when something grabbed her from behind and forced her down. She looked back from her prone position and saw the monster straddling her hips. Its claws raking over her pants and slicing them away like paper. She instantly knew what it wanted.

"GET OFF!!!" She squirmed and kicked as much as she could but the behemoth that unknown to her was her beloved fiancée held her firmly in place. When she realized she couldn't move she made another attempt to get help.

"HELP!!! RAPE!!!! HELP!!!" Her secondary goal was to alert anyone outside no matter how unlikely. Her primary one however...

With speed that showed his true training as a ninja Konatsu was up, alert and already throwing Kunai at Ukyo-sama's assailant.

Ranma-Neko gave a mighty roar like shout as it found four throwing stars embedded in its back. Letting go of Ukyo Ranma got up and turned to face the other male who was obviously after his new mate. He growled animalistically before charging like a bullet at the gender confused boy.

Konatsu barley had time to blink as the beast was upon him. Ready to impale him with a knife strike to the gut using those slightly glowing claws. It was only by the skin of his teeth was he able to lean back and allow the lycan boy to get away with nothing more than ripping apart the front of his waitress outfit revealing the proper ninja attire underneath. His ruined robe fell apart as he jumped out into the street via the broken doorway and launched more projectiles at the creature.

Ranma-Neko just kept charging. Seemingly 'trying' to dodge the projectiles but doing a fairly poor job of it as his instincts didn't take his new mass and muscle into consideration which slowed him quite a bit. It didn't stop him however as the areas the kunai pierced were so thick with muscle that he barely sunk in a few inches.

Inside Ukyo quickly scrambled to stand up. Pulling her torn pants up as best she could as she watched her waiter/waitress take on that...that THING all by himself. Before boiling over with rage of Tendo level proportions.

That thing just tried to have its way with her! No one but Ranma was allowed to do that! She grabbed her battle spatula and rushed out to tear that thing a new 'a hole'.

She rushes outside and frozen. It had barely been a few moments between these two and herself getting outside. Yet the black and silver furred monstrosity was towering over a viscously beaten and bloodied Konatsu. His chest looked like it had been hit by a sledgehammer and the feline beast was standing on and almost crushing his left leg. He was bleeding from the mouth most likely from the damage to his chest. The only relief was that there were no cuts or claw marks.

The beast was looking him over with an almost victorious gaze. Seemingly satisfied that it had downed Konatsu the beast started to turn back towards the restaurant only to take a spatula to the back of the head as Ukyo smashed down on it as hard as she could with the bladed edge.

Ukyo didn't even want to give that monster time to think as she aimed for its thickly muscled neck. She smiled victoriously as the wide blade came in contact with its target. Her smile lasted only a few moments though as she realized that the weapon had barely stuck into the beast neck much less than an inch. In fact to this beast it was barley enough to call a cut. It was pulled free from the monsters neck as it stood back up to its full height and started stalking towards her with a growl. What little courage and righteous fury she had wilted as she was once again under the lustful and angry gaze.

She held her spatula out in front of her. Her fear clashing with her iron determination to let only Ranma do what this creature wanted with her she took another swing at the beast with her Giant Spatula.

Ranma-Neko paid no attention to the blade. He simply swiped at the thing blocking him from his intended and it fell to pieces like in an old cartoon.

Seeing this Ukyo brought pulled out a pair of smaller spatulas from her bandoleer. 'I am not letting this thing take me without a fight.' She thought as she prepared to go down fighting.

"UKYO GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Came a sudden shout from somewhere close.

Ukyo ducked out of the line of sight for Ranma-Neko and jumped out of the way just as an enormous bolt of Ki slammed into him. Plowing him into the wall she had been backed into.

She looked up and saw a very haggard looking Cologne holding onto her cane as support. Akane standing next to her holding out her Mallet (which was unusual since she could normally only manifest that thing when perverts were near.) Surprisingly neither of the younger Amazons were with them.

She scrambled over as she saw that the monster was pulling itself out of the wall.

"Are you alright child?" Asked the tired old woman.

"Y-yeah. What the hell is that thing!? Why did I try to...to" She couldn't even say it. Cologne seemed to understand though. A similar incident happening not minutes before.

"It's called a werecat. Though of a kind I've never seen before." The old woman said as Ranma-Neko pulled himself out of the wall fully and shook its head free of dust and mortar.

"A werecat!?! You mean like a werewolf?" Akane said shocked as she saw the thing clearly for the first time tonight. She'd seen a lot of freaky things in Nerima before. Things that make this look tame in comparison but their was something about it that just didn't seem right. It looked almost like...in fact those shorts looked like the ones that...it was just to freaky to believe.

"Indeed child and a feral one at that. All of its human abilities are gone at the moment and all that is left are animal instincts. If I remember correctly all its thinking of right now are food and sex."

'Like any other guy then.' Thought Akane flatly before shaking her head free of such distracting thoughts. "So how do we stop it?"

"We don't." Came the flat reply. Both girls spun their heads to face the diminutive woman. "WHAT!?"

The old woman sighed as Ranma-Neko's gaze fell upon them once more before glaring at the girls. "Were a barely trained kenpo user, a martial arts chef without her weapon, an unconscious cross dresser and a three hundred year old woman who used up almost all her Ki to save the chef from being mated. We have no silver weapons and twenty minutes till sunrise. So unless you can magically pull silver swords out of wherever you pull that mallet from I strongly suggest we run until sunrise." Finished the old woman heatedly.

The two girls stared at her for a second before staring back at the monster who was crouching and ready to pounce.

'Are you serious?'

Ranma-Neko jumped at them with an almost blur like motion. The three women jumped to the side as quickly as they could as the feline man crashed into where they were a second ago sending spider web cracks all across the pavement. It turned its head towards Ukyo again and growled while completely ignoring the other two women on its right.

Cologne spared Akane a glance and chuckled. Akane turned and glared at her for a second.

"This isn't time to be laughing Cologne!" She said heatedly.

"Sorry. Private joke." The old woman said trying to stop herself from laughing. She then steeled herself and launched forward. Using her cane and what little Ki she had remaining to strike at the pressure points on Ranma-Neko's back hoping to paralyze him for even a few moments.

Of course factoring in the dense muscle, shifted body parts and Ranma's instinctual reflexes she barely stuck two useless points on his back before his arm blurred and swatted her away with the back of his hand. His new form, though still slower than usual, was more than enough to strike at a 300 year old Martial Arts master with no Ki left. She went sailing overhead and would have crashed head first into the pavement if not for Akane catching her like you would a baseball. This also put more distance between them and Ranma-Neko who had turned back to Ukyo.

The battle chef pulled out a small bag and undid the tie. "Since you look like a cat. I bet you have a sense of smell like one two." She said before throwing it into the lycan beast's face.

Ranma-Neko reeled back as the bag of spices exploded when he swiped at it, the spicy ingredients going in his eyes and up his now super sensitive nose. He began clawing at his face frantically drawing small amounts of blood as he scratched and clawed furiously. Ukyo didn't waste time and bolted to grab Konatsu and lift him onto her back she and Akane both took of with the Tendo girl carrying a completely worn out Cologne.

"How much longer till sunrise?" Asked Ukyo between breaths.

"About 15 minutes." Said Akane.

A massive roar overcame them and they saw the beast was chasing them. Its blue eyes red and blood shot and its facial fur lightly matted with blood.

"WE DON'T HAVE 15 MINUTES!" Ukyo shouted. She really wished anyone else from the Nerima wrecking crew were here right now.

"Um… excuse me miss but could you tell me how to get to Nerima?" A young man said holding up a map.

The woman said nothing and continued to slice carrots.

"Look. Thanks for the bath and everything but I recall need to try and get back to Nerima. You see there's this guy and were rivals so..." The boy continued his ramblings completely ignorant to the heavily pierced and tattooed men and women cutting vegetables and putting spices into the large black pot he was in.

"There there Shampoo. Let it all out." Mousse said to a shocked Shampoo.

"Stupid Mousse. Shampoo snap out of it ages ago. Now let Shampoo go so she can go help Great Grandmother." Came the girls distraught reply.

"You don't have to act brave Shampoo. I'm here." The boy said with a large and lecherous grin on his face.

"Wow he is really out of it isn't he." Said Nabiki who was rubbing sleep from her eyes as she poked Genma a few times in the back of the head.

"Well at least he's peaceful" Said the ever cheerful Kasumi as she cleaned the damaged room around the shaking panda.

Behind them the crying man kept wailing about his beloved princess being out in the night all alone.

"He's catching up!" Akane shouted as she showed an unusual amount of skill by turning on a penny following Ukyo into another alleyway. Ranma-Neko behind them saw them turn and skidded by the alley entrance as he stopped before turning around and following them again.

"It would be so much easier if you could roof hop instead of having Ranma honey carry you." Ukyo said as she tried to put as much distance between her and the horny monster while carrying her gender confused waiter/waitress.

"Not the time." Akane shouted back. She was struggling as she was significantly slower than Ukyo despite the other girl carrying someone much heavier than the gnomish old woman

"Well we have to do 'something'! We can't keep running like this for ten minutes!" Said Ukyo.

Akane looked left, right, anywhere for something that might help. She spotted something straight ahead. "There!"

Ukyo followed her vision and saw a manhole cover. Getting the girls idea she pulled out her last spatula up threw it. Jamming it into the hole in the middle.

When they reached it Ukyo grabbed the spatula and yanked. Pulling the cover out of the street. Akane holding onto Cologne did not hesitate a second as she jumped in first. Ukyo who was holding the cover went to jump in after them but unfortunately this was when Ranma-Neko pounced. She was almost completely in when the monster crashed right on top of where she had been causing the not complete closed over cover to smash itself down on her and her passenger's heads before she lowered it fully. They fell the few feet down the tunnel and landed in a heap on the floor next to the scum river with Ukyo landing on Konatsu's already broken torso.

Akane kneeled next to her friend and...associate. She put the exhausted and unconscious old crone next to her now unconscious rival and the feminine boy. A large lump was growing on the top of Ukyo's head in an almost cartoony fashion with Konatsu growing a smaller one.

A large booming sound was coming from above. She looked up the tube and watched with horror as the thick manhole cover began to buckle under repeated heavy blows and vicious clawing.

This was one of the worst situations she'd ever been in. Once again her life was in danger, but this time there was no one coming to save her. Everyone else was out of the fight and unknown to her the usual knight in shining Armor was the one that was looking to kill her.

She moved the other two back a little away from the soon to be hazard area. She hefted out her mallet from Kami knows where, and waited. The banging of steel above her almost in sync with her pounding heartbeat.

*BANG*

Ba-dup

*BANG*

Ba-cup

'Why doesn't he just claw it?' Thought the girl.

*BANG BANG* *SNICK!!!* The warped metal disc suddenly fell into several cleanly sliced pieces and landed a few feet on the walk followed by bricks and mortar as something bigger than the narrow tube effortlessly forced its way down and landed with a thump.

'Ask a stupid question…' Akane shuddered slightly as it looked up. Those feline eyes capturing what little light there was making them seem to glow demoniacally. She steeled herself and held the hammer to strike at a moments notice. She wasn't going to have any other chances and Ranma wasn't going to save her, not that she would have admitted to needing his help even now.

The monster got ready and jumped...

*SMASH*

…..face first into the walkway.

Just as Ranma-Neko got off the ground something almost equally as large as he smashed right into his back from above. The second giant...thing hefted the slightly stunned lycan boy over its head and threw it up and out of the sewer like a bullet escaping the chamber.

Shocked Akane almost dropped the hammer before catching herself. She tried to speak but was cut off before she could even stammer out a word.

"Phew." It sighed "I thought I would never catch up." It then looked over to Akane.

"There will be no more terror tonight dear." The thing said in an eerily similar if not slight deeper and more guttural voice.

"H...how?" She said with the hammer still raised.

"Because tonight is over." The creature looked up where she had launched Ranma-Neko. Both women could hear pain filled shouts and moans come from above. Quickly going from those of a cat to those of a person.

"Go. Your not strong enough to lift them back out." The furry giant said. Akane didn't move. She wasn't about to trust the two women behind her to this thing just because it saved her.

"Trust me. Ranma needs you." The creature said.

"Ranma! You know where he is?!" The youngest Tendo rushed out.

"Yes. I just threw him out of here."

Akane dropped her mallet. Her eyes wide enough to almost let them fall out her skull.

"Go. He needs you." The creature repeated.

This time Akane heeded the words. Rushing up the claw mangled ladder and out into the street of the Nerima district. She looked in horror as the monster she'd been running from ceased to be a monster.

Its change was already half way done. Its fangs retracted to only slightly larger than Ryoga's own. The silver stripped black fur retracted into the skin leaving it no hairier than an ordinary man, except for the extra length of the hair on the top of his head. There was a sickening sound of bones being crushed as the extra vertebrae in his spine were smashed and vanished so the spine could shorten back to slightly larger than the original size, tail and all. Hair shortened back to its normal size and the slitted eyes widened into human ones. This all happened in a mere moment. In just a handful of seconds the saber-toothed Lycan had become a thoroughly exhausted Ranma Saotome.

Despite the memories of what happened still fresh in her mind she got to her knees next to the boy who was sitting there rubbing his head.

"Ranma. What was that?" She said normally. She would have shouted but she was just too mentally and physically exhausted from all that had happened to bother right now.

"Uhhhh, how what happened?" The boy said. That got the girl going. Apparently not to tired to jump her normal mode of dealing with things, in anger.

"Don't act like you don't know you baka! You turned into some...cat monster and chased me Ukyo and Cologne half way across Nerima!" The girl said heated as she stood up.

"Okay first off. Cats are monster ta start with. Seco...WHY AM I NAKED!?!?!" The boy shouted. Standing up had the unpleasant side effect of making the stretched tatters he had been wearing fall to the ground giving his fiancée and eyeful.

The girl blushed atomic before the blush of embarrassment became redness from rage. The nude boy backed away nervously. An unstoppable feminine pervert pounding was imminent (because nothing stops a woman from pounding a pervert no matter who they are) when a rather large pair of pants and shirt where thrown at him from behind. The two turned and saw what had thrown them.

It looked almost exactly like Ranma did moments before. Maybe a few inches shorter then what he had looked like, but no less a giant at over 8 feet tall feet tall. It was awash with rust red fur except for the silver stripes coming from under its chin to point at its eyes and its fangs were as long as Ranma-Neko's were. It was clearly female, what with the racetrack curves and the head sized breasts being barely covered by a floral print kimono that rode up to mid thigh where it would go to the feet of an ordinary woman. Over her left shoulder was Konatsu whilst under each of its arms was an unconscious woman. Ukyo under the left and Cologne under the right next to a wrapped bundle.

Akane's eyes widened as she realized who this had to be. Ranma just kept backing away and into a wall from the big scary cat which was looking at him in a way that could only be called motherly.

"We are going to have to do something about that Ailurophobia son." The female lycan said with a smile.

"Ca...cat...ca...ca." The boy stammered. His fear of cats still strong.

The lycan sighed. She put the two under her arms down and then lowering Konatsu's body to the ground with them. Then shrank.

The process Akane had seen just moments ago repeated itself in a much smoother matter. Fur receded. Fangs shrank back to normal teeth. It lost three feet in height causing the Kimono to become loose and hang off her and last and least its eyes unstilted.

"There Ranma. The cats all gone now." Said Nodoka Saotome as she straightened her clothing making herself more presentable.

"Mom?" The fear of cats coupled with the confusion caused a convenient plot device. He fainted.

"Well. Not how I wanted to break the news but it'll have to do won't it Akane...Akane?" She turned and saw the girl laying on the ground as well. The exhaustion of the night's activities and the revaluation of Ranma's mother were too much for her to take.

"Honestly. This is Nerima for goodness sake. I am hardly the strangest thing you have seen." The woman said to herself.

Even though it had just started she could still say that it was going to be a long day.

My addition to the Ranma/gold digger crossovers craze.

Okay if I made any errors don't be afraid to tell me and most importantly tell me what you think.
