line is utter blasphemy.


Otaku no Ranma
a self-insertion fic by P-R-P-Chan
part 2

	The Tendo living room showed a remarkable amount of tranquility, Kasumi
and Akane sitting at the table, the two fathers playing shogi, with Andrew
unconcious on the floor.  Andrew began to stir, drawing the Tendo sisters
to his side.

	"What happened?" Andrew asked groggily.

	"You fainted from overexhertion.." the younger sister answered.

	"Oh.. so I guess it wasn't a dream..."

	"What was a dream?" Kasumi asked.

	"Nevermind," Andrew answered, 'Guess I'll be here for awhile' he thought,
then moving back to the conversation at hand. "Where's Ranma?"

	"He woke up a while ago, I think he's practicing in the dojo." Kasumi
answered.

	"I guess I'll have to talk to him.. umm.. which way is it?" he asked.

	"Here, I'll show you." Akane stood up, leading him towards his destination.


***

	Ryouga trudged through the desolate snow covered terrain, he'd been lost
in this frozen wasteland for nearly a week. Shivering, he stumbled up to a
bunch of penguins and showed them his map, unfortunately it was upside down.

***

	"Oh hi.. you again." Ranma dropped into a defensive posture as Andrew and
Akane enter the dojo.
	"Wait. Listen man, i just came to apologize for before..."
	"Apologiz..."
	"Is that too complex for you?" Akane snickered, "Want me to translate?"
	"I know what it means! Can't you ever mind you own business? I'm just nto
used to being apologized to, usually SOMEONE just mallets me instead of
admitting when THEY were wrong!"
	"Ranma you jerk!" Akane pulled out her dimensional malletand pounded her
fiancee unmercifully. She stormed off in anger as Andrew helped Ranma to
his feet.
	"I just wanted to say I'm sorry..."
	"Apology.." Stumbles backwards, "Accepted. Uh.. do you want to practice?"
	"I guess so.. but no chi blasts, ok?"
	"Fine."

	Both dropped into a defensive stance, carefully eyeing there opponent.
Finally Ranma launches a kick which Andrew easily evades, retaliating with
a punch, which is dodged in turn.  They disengaged and appraise one another
again, before moving in with a flurry of punches and counterpunches; none
making any contact.
	"So where'd you learn Kenpo? Your style seems very similar to
Anything-Goes.."
	"Nowhere, I just watched alot of anime, I guess."
	"Wha?" Ranma stopped in shock and get's hit in the stomach, "Ouch..."
	He jumps back, Andrew sees this and disengages as well, both returning to
a casual stance.
	"Whatd'ya mean you watch too much anime?"
	"Well I admit I didn't used to think there was such a thing as too much
anime.." Sees that Ranma wanted a different answer, "Umm.. I'd rather not
talk about it." 'Don't see why I should tell him about my predicament now..
although he's prolly one of the few people who'd understand.'
	"Fine.. Then at least tell me how you knew about my curse."
	"I.. ummm.. file under the above."
	"What?"
	"If I tell you I'd have to answer the first question, and I don't think
I'm ready to think about it myself."
	Ranma seemed to give it a moments thought before continuuing. "Whatever..
you still wanna practice?"
	"Sure" Both moved in to attack.

***

	Akane storms into the dining room, and sits down at the table across from
Kasumi.
	"So where did Ranma's friend come from?"
	"I don't know, Kasumi. He was sitting on the curb outside Shampoo's,"
Starts looking angry after saying her rival's name. "When that idiot Ranma
tripped over him, " Akane is getting even angrier. "And then Ranma attacks
him for no reason, " She is furious now. "And I'm left to clean up for.."
	Akane is interupted by a large explosion from the dojo. "Oh My! Is Ryouga
here? I guess I'll have to set another plate for supper, I do hope there
will be enough."


***
	Ryouga lay on the cement, "Ranma.. I'll...." He fell unconcious.

***

	Andrew stood up slowly, looking at the large hole in the wall behinf him,
opening up onto the street where a large crowd was gatheing around some
poor traveler who'd been hit by the blast. "I though we agreed no chi blasts!"
	Soun, Genma, Akane and Nabiki come running into the room. the take one
look at the damage and that's when they stop doing things as  a group.
Genma is annoyed that his son disturbed his game of shogi, Akane is mad at
Ranma (for no apparent reason, bust since when does she need one?), and
Nabiki is calculating the damages. Soun, for his part, was crying over the
destruction of his property.
	"My Dojo! What have you done to my dojo??!"
	"I guess I kinda got carried away." Ranma said sheepishly.
	Meanwhile, off to the side, Nabiki had moved up to their 'guest' and was
opening her mouth to speak, when..
	"Don't bother, I'm broke." Akane barely stifled a laugh, Ranma didn't.
	"Have we met before?" Nabiki looked at him appraisingly.
	"Ask Ranma what I told him.
	"Ranma?" Nabiki glanced over at the pig-tailed martial artist, who was
busy doing his impression of a deer caught in a car's headlights.
	"Yeah?"
	"What did he tell you?"
	"I don't want to to talk about it."
	"What? C'mon, tell me, what did he say?"
	"I don't want to talk about it."
	Akane and Andrew are snickering as Nabiki isn't getting her way, for once.
He notices that Ranma is melting under the pressure, so he pulls out a cue
card and scrawls something on it. He holds it up to where Ranma can see it,
and once he nods, drops it to the ground and holds up another. Ranma smiles
before interrupting Nabiki's interrogation.
	"Ok fine, fine! But how much is it worth to you?" Nabiki just stares in
shock as Ranma continues. "I guess 1000 yen ought to cover it."
	Nabiki still hadn't recovered from Ranma developing a brain, as she handed
over the bills. Pocketing them, Ranma leaned over and whispered into her
ear, "He said, I don't want to talk about it."
	Ranma jumped back laughing. He'd finally gottent he better of her. Nabiki
was still unmoving, but coming out fast, especially when Kasumi held up two
cue cards marked respectively 'Need some help?' and 'Ask for 1000 yen,
50/50 split'.  Nabiki stared coldy at the cards in her sister's hands and
then at Andrew, who smiled back nervously. She began to glow in a way that
only Akane could, or so we thought. Andrew backed away nervously, as Nabiki
stalked out of the room. Everyone, minus of course Kasumi who would never
laugh at anyone, breaks out in laughter, having seen Nabiki lose out for
the first time.
	"Well I guess your not all bad, Here's your share."  Ranma handed him 500
yen. "I don't think I've seen anyone other than Akane get that angry, but
what do you expect from an uncute tomboy like her." He continued laughing
for a second before he realizes what he just said.
	"Ranma! DIE!" Akane once again pounded him into the floor and stalked off.
	"Stupid Tomboy.." Ranma said, picking himself off the ground, before
getting hit with a flying mallet.
	"I heard that!" Akane's voice carried in from outside.
	Kasumi looked down at Ranma's unconcious form, "Oh my, at least the first
aid kit is still out." She looked over at Andrew, "Would you like to stay
for supper? I made extra because I expected Ryouga."
	"Umm.. Sure.. thanks.."

***

	Everyone is sitting around the dinner table, with the addition of Andrew
of course. Akane is glaring at Ranma as usual, and Nabiki is glaring at
Andrew. None of the four are really touching their meals, Ranma being
content to juts stop any of Genma's attempts to take away his meal.
	"Oh by the way, you never mentioned your name." Kasumi asked politely.
	"I'm sorry, completely forgot about that, I'm Andrew Anderson, nice to
meet you."
	"Andrew..." Ranma repeated the name, trying to get the pronunciation right.
	"...Anderson.. That's an english name right? Where are you from?" Akane
broke her gaze from Ranma to ask.
	"Scottish actually, anyways, I'm from Montreal." A smile creaps over
Andrews face on remembering his home city.
	"Where?" Ranma voiced the question no one else wanted to ask. Nabiki of
course had the answer, but she wasn't going to help that 'asshole' get
riendly with her family; Kasumi as well, but she wasn't telling.
	"Canada."
	"Where?" Ranma repeated. Andrew covered his forehead in pain.
	"The 51st state of the USA," He sees Nabiki about to protest and decides
to ammend what he just said. "Well the way tihngs are going anyways.."
	"What's wrong with the wya things are going?" Akane wanted to know.
	"It's way too complicated, even I don't understand, and I've lived their
my whole life."
	"Your whole life?" Ranma asked sceptically. "Then how'd you get such good
Japanese?"
	"I'm speaking Japanese?" Everyone facfaulted, minus of course Kasumi.
	"You didn't know what language you were speaking?" Akane asked the
question everyone wanted to voice.
	"Nope.."
	"How in the world did you manage that?" Ranma said, before being elbowed
in the gut by Akane.
	"Don't be so rude Ranma. So how did you?"
	"I'd rather no talk about it." Nabiki starts to look like she's going to
explode in anger at those words. "But then again maybe I'd better. You
might not believe this, " He looks and sees who he's talking to. "but then
again, you people are probably the fwe people who would believe. Anyways,
this is how it is... I'm from a parrallel world. " Andrew sees everyone
ready to leave." Wait!.. is it really that incredible? I mean harder to
believe than a guy who turns into a girl when splashed wiht cold water?"
	"What about it?" Ranma shot back, as everyone started retaking their seats.
	"Well isn't one jsut as farfetched as the other?"
	"Ok.. fine. But how did you know about my curse? And where'd you learn
Kempo? You wouldn't answer for the same reason as this.."
	"I was just egtting to that. For the moment let's call this the Ranamverse.."
	Nabiki starts choking on her food, trying not to laugh.
	"That's just great! As if his ego isn't big enough already, now you want
to name a wohle world after him?" Akane shouted at Andrew.
	" and where I come from, Reality." He continued, ignoring Akane's outburst.
	"Are you saying we aren't real?" Nabiki arched an eyebrow, gazing coldly
at what was obvioulsy a deluded fool.
	"I haven't decided yet." He gets a bunch of angry stares, no one likes
being told they don't exist." It seems real but that's besides the point."
	Ranma's onetrack mind came back into play. "What about my curse? How'd you
know about that?"
	"In my reality.. I'm whta you would call an Otaku, and one of my favorite
shows is Ranma 1/2...."
	"Ra.." Akane started.
	"..nma.." Ranma continued.
	"..1/2." Nabiki finished. All look stunned but Andrew continued.
	".. And before I ended up here, I'd just sat down to wathc as much as I
could stand; When about halfway through the episode where Happosai
re-learns the Happodaikarin, I found myself outside and getting hit by a
mallet."
	No one is moving, even Kasumi is schocked by what he is saying.
	"I think I just watched too much and lost touch with my own reality or
something like that." Still no one is moving, but Nabiki seems to be trying
to speak. Finally she manages to get the words out of her mouth.
	"So you're telling us, thta our whole existencewas orchestrated by some.."
Snorts in disgus." stupid manga artist??!!"
	"DON'T YOU EVER TAKE THAT TONE OF VOICE WHEN TAKLING ABOUT A GENIUS LIKE
RUMIKO!!!!" Nabiki slieds away from him a bit,  not used to dealing with
rabid anime fans.
	"I'll admit it explains alot." Ranma stated.
	"But I don't think I'm actually in the anime, otherwise I'd have been
blown up by Happosai..." He's cut off as the pervert in question splashes
Ranma and attaches himself to her breasts. Ranma risp him off of her,
taking her shirt with him, punting the old lech into the wall. Happosai
slides down the wall, giving every impression that he was finished; but he
wasn't.
	"Ranma! Now you'll pay for everything you've done to me! And I get to have
my Ranma-chan all to myself!" Happosai started laughing evilly as he pulled
a jug from his pocket, popped off the top and tosses it at Ranma. He barely
skips away, as the jug goes past him.. and lands on Andrew's head,
drenching him.
	"Do you know how much trouble I went through to get that Ranma? And you
couldn't even be nice enough not to move! Now look what you've done!"
Points to Andrew, who's just pulled the jug off his head. He reaches into
his plaid jacket and pulls out a happoadikarin and tosses it to Happosai.
	"Catch!" Andrew yells in a high pitched voice. It explodes knocking
Happosai out." Serves him right."
	Andrew suddenly notices the change in his voice, and reaches into hsi
jacket, finding two things that weren't there before. "no..." He checks his
pants, and finds... notihng." NO! I HATE THESE STUPID ANIME LAWS!"

***
	Outside the Tendo Dojo it was a nice quiet day, the birds were chirping,
the sun was shining, and everything was good. Suddenly, the birds through
off in fright as a loud yell shook the area.
	"DAMN YOU RUMIKO!!!!"
