A Ranma and Nuku Nuku crossover

Kitty Love

	"Class, I would like you to meet a new classmate.  He will be staying
with us for a couple of weeks as part of an inter-school exchange
program."  Kyuusuku pointed towards the boy standing in front of the
room.  The boy, Ranma, was dressed in a red Chinese silk shirt and black
pants.  Kyuu grimaced as he looked at the Ranma's clothing.  Ranma had
quite a reputation among the cities various schools.  From grade school
to high school, every school that he attended, there had been massive
property damage.  However, each school also benefited the youth's
extraordinary physical prowess.  Almost all the principals allowed the
dress code to bend for this single person if it would mean that the
school would gain medals in any competitive event.

	"Hi, I'm Saotome Ranma."  Ranma looked bored as he greeted the rest of
the class.  When he had first heard of the exchange program, he had
jumped at the chance to move away from Nerima for awhile.  The girls
back home were getting out of hand lately and he needed some time away
from them.

	"Hello Ranma."  Atsuko, or Nuku Nuku as she preferred to call herself,
immediately rose up at gave an exuberant hello.  She liked to make new
friends.

	Ranma stood still as looked over a cute girl that just stood up.  A
feeling of uneasiness overwhelmed him.  Everything about the girl gave
him a sense of dread.  If he didn't know any better he would say that he
was afraid of the girl.  But that couldn't be, he's Saotome Ranma of the
Saotome School of Anything-Goes.  He didn't fear anyone, especially not
some overly cute defenseless girl.  Ranma then proceeded to his desk,
giving the girl wide berth, of course.

	Nuku Nuku blinked.  That was different.  Every boy she had every
greeted always greeted back warmly.  What it something she said?

	The rest of the girls in the class gasped in shock as they saw Ranma
cringe at Atsuko's greeting and then go to his desk without giving her a
second glance.  He was the only boy in the whole school, who didn't give
into Atsuko's charms.  They girls looked back and forth from Ranma to
Atsuko, wondering what was wrong.  They then turned and looked at each
other.  "MINE!"

	Kyuusuku rubbed his head.  He could feel a headache coming.

			* * * * *

	Ranma forced himself to calm down as the girl, Nuku Nuku, approached
him at the end of class.  What was wrong with him?  Nuku Nuku seemed to
be a very friendly and nice person.  Seeing as how he was new and
everything, she offered to show him around school, help him catch up on
homework, and introduce him to some friends.  But there was something
about her that made Ranma use all of his control not to scream.  She
reminded him of a cat.  "H-hi, Nuku Nuku!  What a surprise seeing you
here."

	"Nuku Nuku is in same class as Ranma."

	"Oh yeah.  I guess I forgot.  Oh, look at the time, school's over. 
I'll see you later."  Ranma immediately raced to the window and jumped
out.

	Nuku Nuku stared at Ranma with a mixture of confusion.  She didn't
quite know how to take him.  He didn't seem to like her.  She, however,
liked him very much.  She didn't know why that was as she just met him
today.  There was something odd about Ranma.  He had a very unique scent
about him.  It was the scent of a man and a woman.  Ranma must be around
women a lot.  Also, there was some undeniable characteristic about Ranma
that drew her to him.  He reminded her of a cat.

			* * * * *

	This was ridiculous, Ranma told himself as he walked back towards the
school.  How could he have run away from a girl that was totally
harmless?  He would be the laughing stock of Nerima if anyone ever found
out about that.  He stopped in front of the school gate to gather up his
courage.  He could see Nuku Nuku had not left the premises yet, as there
were a horde of boys surrounding her pleading for dates.  All he had to
do was just stand in front of her and a have a short pleasant
conversation to prove he wasn't scared of her.  Preferably a very short
conversation.

	<Giggling>

	Ranma turned his head to see a bunch of schoolgirls gossiping.  He
could hear Nuku Nuku's name being thrown around.

	"That girl is such a slut."

	"Yeah!  Look at all the boys she's got tied around her finger."

	"What do you expect?  Look at the body of hers."

	"I bet they're not even real."

	Ranma's face contorted with anger.  How could they spread such rumors
about Nuku Nuku?  Though he had only met the girl just today, he could
tell that she was not of the type his classmates were describing.  She
was just friendly.  She couldn't help it if the male half of the student
body threw themselves at her.  He heard enough as he worked his way up
through the throng of boys towards Nuku Nuku.  He grabbed her the wrist
a dragged her and her bike away from the school.  "Come on, let's get
out of here."  He stopped in front of the group of girls.  As much as he
hated their gossiping, Ranma couldn't bring himself confront them.  He
couldn't even stand up against the ones he had at home.  Instead he just
scowled in the direction of the girls and continued dragging Nuku Nuku
along with him.

	The group of girls looked in shock as the one boy they thought was
theirs just left with Atsuko.  

"NO!  She's stolen another one."  They all cried in unison.

	The group of boys glared daggers into the back of Ranma.

"Who does that boy think he is?"

"Grabbing Nuku Nuku like that and leaving."

"It's not like we can do anything about it.  Did you see the stuff he
did during gym."

	"Hey, all's fair in love and war.  I'm sure the all of us combined can
take out Saotome anytime of the week."

	"After all, fists and feet don't have eyes.  I'm sure nobody would say
anything if soccer tomorrow got a little rough"

	"Hehehe!"  The boys had evil grins on their faces as they laughed out
maniacally.

	Kyuusuku witnessed all of this as he walked to his car.  His headache
just got worse.

			* * * * *

	Ranma grumbled to himself as he tried to get as far away from school as
possible.  He never did like it when someone was picked upon by so
many.  It was a weird sight to see.  He was holding up a bike in one arm
and dragging a girl with him with his other.  However, in this part of
the city, dueling mechs causing chaos were the norm.  Nobody even batted
an eye.

	"Ranma not hate Nuku Nuku now?"  Nuku Nuku asked cheerfully as she
looked at where Ranma held her hand.  She had seen Papa-san hold
Mama-san's hand whenever he thought that no one was looking.  Papa-san
told her that it was a form of affection.

	"Erk!"  Ranma let go and nearly jumped out of his skin.  All this time
he had nearly forgotten about his fear of her.  He berated himself and
quickly regained his composure.  He realized that his treatment of Nuku
Nuku during school could have been seen as someone that did not like
her.  "Sorry about how I acted in school.  I never hated you.  It's just
that you reminded me of someone that I didn't like very much."  It
wouldn't do to tell a person they resembled the animal he feared.

	"That's okay.  Ranma remind Nuku Nuku of animal that she likes.  Ranma
looks like a cat."

	"Erk!  I do not!"  Ranma was starting to freak out again.

	"Ranma not like cats?"  Nuku Nuku could feel sadness well up within
her.  It was an emotion that she rarely felt.  She didn't like it at
all.

	"It's not like I hate them.  I've just had a few bad experiences with
them."  Ranma shuddered as he remembered them.  "Well anyway, I have to
get back to the hotel and start on my homework.  I'll see you tomorrow
Nuku Nuku."  Ranma looked around him.  "I think I've lost my way.  Do
you know how to get back to the school?  I can find my way from there."

	Nuku Nuku brightened as she heard Ranma.  Maybe Ranma would feel better
about cats if had a few good experiences with cats.  She decided to him
directions to go back to school with a few short cuts through the
alleyways that housed a lot of her feline friends.

	Ranma nodded as he noted the directions in his memory.  Did they go
through so many alleyways when they were walking?  He looked worriedly
as Nuku Nuku got ready to leave.  He had taken a lot of her time.  He
hoped she could get home in time.

	Nuku Nuku waved to Ranma as she got on her bike and left.  She left the
cars in her dust as she passed them all by.

	Ranma's jaw dropped at the sight.

			* * * * *

	Now let's see I take a turn in to this alleyway.  Ranma felt uneasy as
he walked.  It sure was dark.  Ranma could feel something move against
his leg.  There was another body moving against his other leg.  Another
soon followed.

	<Purr>

	"Arrgh!"

			* * * * *

	Nuku Nuku slowed down as her sensors picked up something following
her.  It was probably Eimi-chan or Arisa wanting to play with her
again.  Her body was tackled off of the bike as somebody suddenly jumped
at her from the side.

			* * * * *

	"Papa-san!"

	Kyuusuku lifted his head from the medicine cabinet to look at his
daughter.  She had a few scrapes and cuts around her body and she was
sporting a big grin.  "How much property damage did you cause this
time?"  It was then he noticed that new boy Ranma on all fours by Nuku
Nuku's feet.

	Nuku Nuku picked Ranma up into her arms.  Ranma licked her on the
cheek.  "Can I keep him Papa-san?"

	Kyuu looked at the two tablets in his hand.  Two were definitely not
going to be enough.  This was going to be a long two weeks.

			* * * * *

Way in the future...

	Nuku Nuku's inner sensors placed the object of her goal to be about
five kilometers to the north.  She smiled as she thought of what she
would do with Ranma when she found him.  Life had certainly become more
fun when Washu helped upgrade her systems.  She had much fun in proving
to Ranma how 'fully functional' she now was.

The End. (maybe)
