This is the standard disclaimer that all fanfics get.
The characters of Ranma 1/2 belong to Rumiko Takakashi.
The characters of Sailor Moon belong to Naoko Takeuchi.
This is all for non-profit reasons, so please don't
sue me. I don't have enough to make it worth while
anyway. And now on with the story.

Note: I know Ranma is acting out of character. The
reasons why will be explained in memories and flashbacks
throughout the story. This is NOT an SI fic.

Chapter 1: Going Home

The sun's shinning light had died down to a faint glow in
the western sky. Light raining from the full moon kept
the street visible to those who walked it. The crisp spring
air held but the faintest touches of winter in it. Shadows,
drawn from the faintest touches of buildings darkend the land.
Had anyone been on these streets they would have noticed two
of the shadows seemingly come to life and flow down the road
with the grace of dancers.

Two figures walked into the light. Behind them were the
familiar streets leading to the Tendo Dojo. In front of
them was their future. One was a familiar pig tailed boy.
The other was a stranger to this city district. Both had
eyes that were far older than they were. Ranma Saotome looked
up at his taller friend. They had become close during the six
months they spent travelling together. They would stick together
no matter what happened. He was glad he had someone to fall back
on. <He's nothing like Oyaji, I can trust him. It's strange
though. I haven't been this close to anyone since Ucchan and
I were younger.>

"I still think you should have let me burn the place down Ranma!
Those bastards deserve it. After all you went through, to toss
you out like this!"

"Calm down Tomas. It's better this way. I've spent two years
trying to get out of this fiancee mess. I never would have
married that uncute tomboy. It's funny, really. During all
that time part of my mind kept telling me that I loved that
violent tomboy. I would go and rescue her from anything.
I destroyed my cure for her. I even went so far as to kill
for her. During this trip, though, telling you all of the
stories, I came to realize something. I was thinking of her
as an object to posess. She was something given to me, the
first thing that I didn't have to earn, and I was going to keep
it, no matter what. I saw something else as well. I was an
object to be possessed by them. None of my fiancees wanted me
because of who I am. I was just something to be fought over.
Now everyone is off my back. I've changed too much to accept
that life. Hell, you've changed me too much. I never did think
I would learn to hold my tongue. Even Akane never hit me as
hard as you did every time I shot off my mouth. At least she
never broke bones."

"Hey that only happened twice. Now at least you take the time to
stop and think about what you're saying. Sometimes. Besides,
think of all the times you've gotten to do the same to me."

"Yea, it was fun, but I still don't appreciate all the fights
you got us into because of it. You always want to test your
skills one way or another. I still don't understand how you can
get us into so many fights that don't concern us. "

"It's a gift, really. On the bright side, if I hadn't gotten us
into all those fights, Happosai may have beaten us. Look at
where you were when we met, and look at yourself now. It was
as good as that Breaking Point training you told me about.

Ranma's mind back to that fateful day when he and Tomas battled.

He knew that he was faster, but Tom had more strength and
endurance than he did. The battle had be hard and grueling with
ki attacks flying. Fist and feet slammed together trying to
break through the defenses of the other. Finally Ranma got fed
up and started to put everything he had into the Hiryu Shoten
Ha. He began to move around his opponent in a spiral fashion.
Tom followed him sending punch after punch and kick after kick.
There were a number of close calls but finally it was time.
Even as he released his attack, Tomas screamed an attack of his
own, his ever-potent Phoenix Rising Inferno. Even as the two
attacks collided, a huge tornado made of pure fire erupted
around them. After almost a minute and a half, it died down
leaving the two battered and burnt warriors staring at one
another. Then as one, they collapsed to the ground. After a
quarter of an hour of hard breathing, Tomas got up and walked
over to Ranma. Then again, it was more like stumbling towards
Ranma. Sitting down next to him he starts to question his
rival.

"So are you going to tell me why you're after the dwarf too or
not?"

"Why do you keep asking that?! You're working for him, so you
ought to know why I'm after him!"

"I'm not working for that perverted little freak of nature! I
want to rip his head off and cram it down his neck! My first
date in almost two years and he pops out of no where and glomps
her! Before I can move he turns and hits me with a ki blast! My
date faints and I look like an idiot! I'm going to kill that
bastard if it's the last thing I do!"

"Your lucky he only glomped her. He used some drugs on my
fiancee that were supposed to make her his love slave.
Thankfully it only put her in a coma. Once I get the antidote
from the freak I can bring her back."

"So it seems where on the same side, huh. The enemy of my enemy
is my friend and all that jazz. What do you say we work
together. Two of us stand a better chance of kicking the little
pervert's ass than only one."

"I don't work with strangers. They can't be counted on to watch
your back."

"Fine. I'm Tomas Megerson, but please call me Tom. And you
are?"

"Ranma Saotome."

"Well then Ranma since we're no longer strangers why don't we
work together. Two are better than one in a situation like
this."

"Alright, but on one condition."

"And that is?"

"That we NEVER combine those two attacks again. That hurt like
hell." With that simple statement the two young men shake hands.

Coming out of that memory, Ranma looked up at his 'big brother'
once again. He saw the experienced fighter he knew not the
angry young man behind it. Tomas was about 6'4" with a thin
build. Some would say he was too thin. He was also two years
older than Ranma, but was in the same grade. He had been out of
school for a while now. He didn't look it, but he was stronger
the Ranma. Not by much, but it was noticeable during a fight.
He wasn't as fast though. His speed lay some where between
Ranma's and Ryouga's. He was wearing the same thing he always
wore. A pair of jeans, a black tee shirt loose, and denim
jacket. He wore a plain black baseball cap backward with his
bangs hanging on the outside. He had sandy blonde hair that
fell around his head. He never could get it in any type of
style. He wasn't strikingly handsome, but he would always get
more than one look from the girls. He had sharp blue eyes,
which seemed to see everything all at once. They seemed to
change with his mood. They could be the soft blue of the sky or
as hard as ice in the North Pole. Right now they looked like
they could freeze hell over. Ranma sighed. These were just the
first of his problems. Tomas was a bigger trouble magnet then
he was. He could get into a fight at the drop of a hat. In
fact, any number of times he did just that. He hated it when
someone took his cap from him. <Hell, we're probably still
wanted in that small town in China. I can't believe he broke
that many bones in that guy just because he flipped his cap
off.> He also had a very hot temper. He wouldn't stand by and
let problems happen. He threw himself into them to try and end
them. He almost always succeeded. Normally, though, there was
more than one person out like a light. <Oh, well, at least he
doesn't draw blood for the majority of them.> With that thought
Ranma turned back towards the road ahead.

Tom turned toward his friend. Ranma was shorter by a good six
to eight inches. He had his black hair tied into a pigtail. He
wore a red shirt and black pants, both of Chinese make. His
clothing allowed for easier movement and no restrictions. He
was well built, muscular without being out of proportion. He
too had striking blue eyes. They weren't shinning as they
normally do, however. They had been totally clouded over with
depression. And if that wasn't enough, behind the depression
lay one of fear. Tom didn't know why, but he was beginning to
think he had better find out. As they reached the end of the
Nerima district Tom grabbed Ranma's arm and turned him around.
"You realize that you're not going back, right?" he asked in a
concerned voice. "This towns empty of anything that you want.
But Ukyou is still there, and you know how she feels."

"I know. The problem is that I don't feel the same about her.
Being with her would only ruin her life. She deserves someone
who truly loves her. Mr. Tendo threw me out of the only place I
could call home for the last two years. Pops ran away not long
after Akane did. He couldn't bear the thought of his dream
shattered. Shampoo got deported for attacking Akane while she
was in the coma. Oh, and Akane is most likely sleeping with
Ryouga, wherever the hell they are. I still can 't believe that
she let Ryouga lead them. They're probably in the Antarctic by
now. There is nothing left for me here. Lets go. I want to get
out of this hell hole as fast as possible. I want to start
over."

"Just one question Ranma, where are we going anyway?"

"To the Juuban district. That's where my mother lives. Its time
to go see her. I figured that if I'm going to start over, I
want to try to settle with her. Hopefully I can get her to void
out that stupid contract pops made me sign and except me for
who I have become. You coming with me?"

<Well, at least I know what he's scared of now, not that it is
a good thing.> "Of course. The pact we made said till death.
Besides I got a good feeling about this. At least we should be
able to get a free meal if nothing else. We just got to make
sure to ask for food before you give your life's history.

"I still think that she'll kill me because of that stupid curse.
How can I be a man amongst men when I change into a girl when
splashed with cold water? This stupid curse is a death sentence
for me."

"Quite frankly I think your exaggerating. I can't believe that
any mother would force her only son to commit seppuku.
Especially when it's not his fault. Your father got you into
this mess. In my opinion your mother will have a way to get you
out. I think it's one of those universal law or something."

"My mother is very honor bound. She may not be as bad as Pops
with the Tendo mess, but she still places honor as a high
priority."

"Well, the only way to find out is to do it. Lets get moving."
With that the two young men walk towards the Juuban district
and a place they hope they may be able to call home.

****************************************************************

The sun rises into the sky as the two tired, hungry, young men
approach a modest looking home. All around the front porch were
flowers of every variety. Just before ringing the doorbell
Ranma stopped and looked at Tomas. "Well, this could be the
end. I hope that feeling you've got is right." So saying he
pushes the button twice. They wait for only a few moments, but
for Ranma it is an eternity. A middle-aged woman answers the
door. She still shows signs of great beauty. She looks the two
boys over and suddenly her eyes go wide with shock. "Ranma? Is
it really you? Have you finally come home to me?"

Both Ranma and Tomas bow to her, and Ranma speaks. "Yes,
mother, I've finally come home. It's great to see you."

Nodoka's eyes fly open wider than is thought possible. "My
son." She whispers and grabs Ranma in a bear hug. "Oh my son
you've returned at last! Bring your friend in. Who is he? Where
is Genma? Why has it taken so long for you to return? Where
have you been all these years? What has happened in your life?"

Seeing his mother on the verge of collapse, Ranma tried to calm
her down. "Relax Mom, I'll explain it all. Just sit down in the
dining room. I'll give you the whole story. Uh, mom, do you
mind if we fix ourselves something to eat before we start? We
haven't had anything since lunch yesterday.

"Of course dear. If you haven't eaten in so long get some food.
I wouldn't want you to faint on me while your telling the story."

"Hey, Ranma, you start telling the story and I'll go get us
some food. Its long enough as it is, and there's only so much
time in a day. Be back in a few." Even as Tomas said this, he
gently pushed Ranma into a chair across from his mother. Then
he headed off into the kitchen.

Ranma gathered his courage and started his story. "Well, I
guess I'll start by answering your questions. I've been living
in the Nerima district for the past two years. Me and pops were
almost always somewhere around the Tendo Dojo. As for where
Pops is now, I haven't got a clue. He ran out on me. Suffice to
say I want that entire part of my life closed. After I tell you
my story, my life will be a clean slate to start off on."

At this point Tomas returned with a pile of food. He sat down
next to Ranma and put the plate in between them. As they both
begin to eat (at a normal pace), Ranma continues answering the
questions. "This is Tomas Megerson. He's more than a friend
though. We're like brothers. In the past six months we've seen
living hell and stood together. We saved each other's lives
more times than I care to count. You know, Mom, he's the first
guy that I have ever trusted with my life. He's the first true
friend I've had in a long time.

Nodoka looked Tom over and than smiles warmly. "I'm glad to see
that my son has such a high opinion of you. I must ask, however,
what do your parents think of all this? They must be worried
about you. Maybe you should call home to let them know you are
alright."

Tom's eyes faze over with pain for a moment before he replies.
"Both of my parents are dead. They where returning home from
the airport when a drunk driver hit their car. They both died
instantly. I was an only child and my grandparents where
already dead. I couldn't stand home anymore; there were too
many memories. So I left. Haven't been back to the States
since. It's been almost two years now. Ranma's my best friend
and I would prefer to stay with him."

"I'm sorry to here about your parents deaths, but you must be
strong to have pulled through so well. Many would have broken
under the pain. You seem to be a fine young man, and I'm sure
they would be proud of you."

"Thank you, Mrs. Saotome. It means a lot to me, really."

All right then, Ranma tell me where you've been the
past ten years. I want to hear it all."

Ranma started by telling her about the Neko-ken training. He
then went on to his training trip, China (minus his and his
pops curse), the fiancees, his battles, Happosai's spell on
Akane which was the reason he had been gone for eight months,
his fight with Tom, their final battle with Happosai, and his
return home to find everything had changed. He concluded with
his being thrown out of the Tendo's. After all this, he turned
and looked at Tomas. "Would you mind go getting the water? I
need to show Mom this, not just tell her."

"Sure thing, Ranma." With that Tomas headed into the
kitchen once more.

"Son, tell me what you meant by that? What do you have
to show me and what does water have to do with it?"

Even as Nodaka spoke these words, her eyes narrowed
into slits.

"Well, Mother, when Pops and I were on that training
trip we went to a place called Jusenkyo. It is in China and has
a thousand cursed pools in it. There was, well, an accident."
Even as he spoke these words Tom entered with the water, one of
cold and one of hot. "Pops fell into the spring of drowned
panda. When he leapt out of the water, well, I froze and he
hit me into another spring. Tom, pour the cold water on my
head please."

Even as the cold water dripped off of him, Ranma became
a red headed girl, with a body that many women would kill for,
even though she was short. He, or perhaps she, spoke again in a
higher voice. "Spring of drowned girl. Well, mother, what do
you think of your son now?"

"You can reverse it, right? It's not permanent is it?
After all you did arrive male." Even as she said this, Tom
splashed Ranma with the hot water. She changed back into a he.

`"It's water activated. Cold water turns me into a girl. Hot
water turns me back into a guy."

Nodaka was shocked. To have any one live through all
that her son did was incredible. For it all to come from a
16-year-old boy was even more so. Then the perfect way to
answer him came to her mind. She got up and went to the
fireplace. She drew out a document and showed it to Ranma. He
blanched wen he saw it was the contract he and Genma signed.
Then she tossed it into the roaring flames of the fire and said,
"That piece of garbage never happened. You are my son. To have
lived through all that you have without breaking is incredible.
You are truly a man amongst men."

It was at that point that Ranma broke down. All the
stress and now the relief of having his mother back overloaded
him. He started to cry. Tom took one look at Ranma, one look at
his mother, and quietly left the room to allow Nodaka to comfort
her son. As he headed out to the back yard, he sighed and
stretched his tired muscles. All of the pain and fear could
now leave his friend. That alone was worth all themoney he
could get his hands on. Even as he looked at the sun, he
realized that It took almost four hours for Ranma to tell his
whole story. <At least we both have a place that we can call
home.>

This is the standard disclaimer that all fanfics
get. The characters of Ranma 1/2 belong to Rumiko
Takakashi. The characters of Sailor Moon belong to
Naoko Takeuchi. This is all for non-profit reasons,
so please don't sue me. I don't have enough to make
it worth while anyway. And now on with the story.

Note: I know Ranma is acting out of character. The
reasons why will be explained in memories and flashbacks
throughout the story. Also, in this story I'm throwing all
of the Inner Senshi into Juuban high. They are all the
same age as Ranma, about 17. Tomas is 19, but has been
out of school since his parents' death, about two years,
so he is in the same grade as Ranma. I'm also making
Hotaru 15 in this, but she goes to a different school.
This is an alternate Sailor Moon universe, bet the changes
are pretty much in age. In the Ranma Time-line it is about
14 months after the bombed wedding. This is NOT an SI fic.

Chapter 2: School Daze

Nodaka awoke from her peaceful sleep to the sound
of fighting. At first she was wondering what type of maniacs
would be getting into a brawl at six in the morning. Deciding
that it would be best to check on the matter before calling
the police, she got out of bed, put on her kimono, and headed
towards the stairs. It was at this point that she recalled
that her son had finally come home, and rushed to the backyard,
fearing the worst. What she saw however left her in a total
shock.

There was her son, Ranma, in a fight of unspeakable
proportions with Tomas, his best friend. The fight, however,
was only unspeakable if you had never seen these two spar
before. The two young men were moving so fast that at times
it seemed that their bodies blurred. Their hands and feet were
blurring constantly, achieving speeds that Ranma would have
thought possible only with the Armagurikan a year before. The
battle between the two raged all over the yard. It soon took
them near the kio pond and *SPLASH* the two of them landed in.
At this point Nodaka decided to get them to clean up for school.

"Boys, that's enough playing around. You've both got
to get into the shower and clean up. School starts at 8:30 and
you don't want to be late on your first day. You'll find your
uniforms on your beds. Go get cleaned up now, and I'll start on
breakfast." With that she turned and headed into the house
humming to herself. It was good to have her son back.

Ranma and Tomas blinked at each other for a minuet or
so in total silence. Tomas broke it with a simple statement.
"Ah kuso, not school! I haven't been there in years. I don't
want to start again."

"Well tough. If I've got to suffer, so do you. Besides,
since you dropped out we're in the same grade so its not like we
won't see each other. If we're lucky, we'll be in the same class.
Come on, let's get cleaned up. There's no avoiding it."

"I know, but after two years its going to be hard to get
used to studding again. I'll give her school, but there is no
way that I'm putting on any uniform. I don't care what school
policies are, there is no way that they will get me into one of
those things. How 'bout you?"

"I can't disappoint mom. I haven't seen her in ten
years after all. I guess I'll give the uniform a shot. This
isn't Nerima so I shouldn't have to worry about any fights. A
uniform couldn't kill me. And if I don't like it, I can switch
back tomorrow."

"Sure, whatever, lets hit the shower. I want to get
cleaned up for the first day. Got to impress the ladies you
know." The two young men (or better young man and young
woman) headed to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

***************************************************

As Ranma and Tomas walked to school in their normal
clothing, they continued the discussion that they were having
before called to breakfast.

"I can't believe that she got you a girls uniform. She
actually expected you to go in your cursed form. That has got
to be one of the funniest things that I have ever heard!" Tomas
was breaking up. He couldn't believe it when he told him about
it. Then listening to him tell his mother that he wouldn't were
the uniform was even better. Thankfully she relented and they
were off.

"Get over it Tomas! Its NOT that funny!" Ranma was
getting ticked off. Here was his best friend and he was
laughing at him.

"Sure it is. But ... okay I'm sorry. I'll try to stay
under control. Come on, lets use the fence. We need to get in
our balancing practice." The two of them hopped on the fence
and continued on to school.

A few minuets later Tomas looked back at Ranma and
started a new conversation. "So, Ranma, what do you know about
the Juuban district? You never got around to telling me
anything about this place."

"Its got a reputation for strangeness. Almost as bad as
Nerima sometimes. I've seen things in the news about monsters
and girls in short skirts who fight them. Personally, I think
it's just a news prank or publicity stunt. The monsters are
among the goofiest things I've ever heard of."

"Well then, maybe we should give them a little taste of
what we're made of. Imagine its surprise if we hit it with some
ki blasts. It would certainly be different from girls in
skirts." All of a sudden Tomas leapt into the air landing on
the sidewalk. Even as Ranma looked up he saw a dozen burly men
surrounding them. He noticed that they all had a similar tattoo
and guessed that they were a part of a gang. As soon as he took
this in, he started listening to what his friend was yelling at
them.

"What the hell do you bastards think your doing!? Get
the hell out of our way! We're NOT going to be late for our
first day of school. Move right NOW!" Tomas was pissed. He
was actually beyond pissed. If he were Akane he would be mallet
happy right now. The fact that these men (and he used the term
loosely) would get in his way (and take a cheap pot shot at him)
on his way to his first day back to school in years ticked him
off. <Did I actually think that!?>

"This is snakes' ground little boy, and any who pass
through it got to pay the toll. Just hand us all your money and
you can go without a scratch." The ugly guy in front started to
laugh. Tom noticed that he was missing a couple of teeth. He also noticed
that Ranma was next to him instead of on the fence. His
response was not what the gang expected, nor did they like the
look in his eyes.

"Alright, a fight. This is going to be fun. Hey Ranma,
person with the least knockouts buys the other lunch."

"You're on Tomas. I hope you enjoy paying for it."
With that they both got into their respective fighting stances.

****************************************************

"Chikuso, we're late for school!" yelled the boy in the
denim jacket. The two of them then jumped on the fence and took
off at an incredible rate. Makoto then realized that she was
also going to be late and set off at a run to Juuban High. Her
thoughts kept drifting back to the young men and how much they
looked like her old boyfriend.

****************************************************

Usagi was late for school. This in itself was not
unusual. Nine times out of ten she was making her mad dash to
Juuban High. Her thoughts were locked on avoiding detention
when a pair of blurs passes her. Looking closely she saw what
appeared to be school bags on their backs. She was about to
dismiss them as another pair of late arrivals when a thought hit
her. Usagi skidded to a halt and gasped. "They were running on
the fence!"

***************************************************

Minako was not her normal bubbly self. She was extremely tired.
<Why did Ami have to get here 15 minuets early. I could have
used the extra sleep. Just because she likes school shouldn't
mean she has to inflict it on me.>

Minako Aino, a girl with blonde hair to her waist and
beautiful blue eyes, was almost as bad a Usagi when it came to
getting to school. Her friends took turns going to her house to
wake her up. She turned to regard one of her best friends. Ami
was slightly shorter and had blue hair cut short. The two of
them were sitting under a tree in the front of the building.
Minako about to give Ami a piece of her mind about dragging her
to school early when two figures appeared in front of her. One
of them was wearing a red chines shirt and black pants. His
hair was in a pig tail and as black as a stallion's main. The
other was a number of inches taller. He had a denim jacket over
a black shirt, jeans, and a black cap on backwards with his
sandy blonde bangs hanging out.

The one with the cap on started to speak.

"Excuse me, but you are the most incredible girl that I
have ever seen. Your beauty is like the rising sun on my cold
life. Please say that you will allow me to take you on a date."

Minako blushed deeply and was about to reply when a pair
of snapping fingers in front of her face brought her back to
reality.

"'scuse me, but are you alright? I asked you if this
was Juuban High?"

Minako, blushing even more because of her dream replied
with a stuttering yes and watched the two figures as they
entered the high school. <Those two have to be among the best
looking guys I've ever seen. They even give Mamoru a run for
his money in the looks department.> "Hey, Ami, what do you
think about those two guys?"

Looking up Ami frowned. She looked but didn't see
anyone around. "Which guys are those?" She had never looked up
from her book.

***************************************************

"Hey, Ranma, did you see the way that blonde was looking
at me? I was afraid that her head was going to explode from all
the blood rushing to her head."

"What do you mean Tomas? Except for looking a bit hot
she seemed fine to me. She really ought to take care of that
sunburn, though."

Tomas facefaulted. He couldn't believe what he just
heard. Was his best friend that dense when it came to women?
He hoped not. He quickly picked himself up and started towards
the main office, right behind Ranma. By the time he got there
Ranma was in a deep argument with the secretary.

"Look, do I seem like a girl to you? I don't care what
those records say. Here, look at my transcripts from Frunkin
High. They'll tell you I'm a guy." He then handed a file
folder that he had pulled from his bag. The secretary looked it
over and saw that it was the same except for the gender. She
then gave Ranma his schedule and grumbled about "those damned
computers." Tomas gave her a once over and stepped forward.

"Pardon me, but I am also a new student here. My name
is Tomas Megerson. May I please have my schedule."

"Such a polite young man. Let me see... ah here it is.
Have a good first day of school."

"Thank-you. Lets go Ranma." The two of them than
headed down the hall.

"Hey, Tomas, what was with all that good boy stuff.
You've never acted like that before."

"I just didn't want her to get mad at me too. I thought
I'd try being polite, that's all. She looked like she was
having a bad day as it is already. Say, I'm in room 314, you?"

Ranma opened his schedule for the first time. "I'm in
the same room as you. That's great, we won't be split up for
the whole day. Should be just up ahead. Well,
Tomas, are you ready to start school?"

"Not one bit, but lets do it anyway. Won't be the first
time I did something I didn't want to." Ranma opened the door
and the two of them stepped into the class room.

**************************************************

Rei was not in a good mood. She had been having this
nagging feeling since the night before. She had tried to do a
fire reading on it, but the only images that would come where of
a horse and a phoenix. It made no sense to the young Shinto
priestess in training then, and it didn't make any now. She was
contemplating sleeping through class for once when the door
opened. Two young men, neither in uniform, came through. The
teacher turned around to regard them.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" The teacher gave them a
disapproving look for interrupting the class.

"Yes, we're new students and have been assigned to this
class" said the one with the cap. A number of girls in the
class started to mummer among themselves. Rei noted that the
one who spoke had a slight, almost sarcastic smile on his lips.

The teacher then asked for them to introduce themselves
to the class. The one in red spoke first.

"Hi, I'm Ranma Saotome and I'm a martial artist."

"I'm Tomas Megerson. Like Ranma I practice the martial
arts. I'm also into a few sports but only for recreation, not
for a team."

"Well, then,"the teacher continued," would you mind
telling me why your late to class? Being new is no excuse."

"Before Ranma could put his foot in his mouth Tomas
spoke up. "We're sorry, but there was a problem with the
computers in the office. It took them a while to find our
scheduals."

"Very well, but don't be late again. Tomas, you sit in
front of Ms. Hino in the third row. Ranma, you're in the second
seat in the first row by the window."

"Thank-you sensei." Ranma spoke. He started to move
toward his indicated seat when the teacher spoke again.

"Also, you two need to get uniforms. I don't know why
you didn't wear any today, but you better have them tomorrow."

Rei heard Tomas mumble something about not being caught
dead in a school uniform, but the teacher didn't notice. All of
a sudden her mystic senses started blaring. From what she could
tell these two new students were the cause of the nagging
sensations going on in her head. As she stared at Tomas' back
she heard a soft sound. He was snoring. Glancing over she
noticed Ranma doing the same. <How can they sleep through class
like this?! They're worse than Usagi is! They don't even try
to hide the fact they're asleep!> Fortunately for the two
martial artists the teacher didn't care. He let them sleep
through class and then past the lunch bell. Eventually the only
ones in the room were Ranma, Rei, and Tomas. <Well, since they
both seem to be out cold, I guess I'll try to see if I can find
out anything from their chi.> Rei was just about to probe Tomas
when he was no longer in his chair.

***************************************************

Tomas was having a peaceful dream. He was in a world
were his parents were still with him and he was eating his
mother's wonderful cooking. All too soon for him, his danger
sense slammed on and his body went into action. His eyes
snapped open and took in his surroundings. <Alright, I'm in a
classroom. Nothing to the front of me or the sides which means
the danger's behind me. Better move 'fore I get hit.> He
turned his body sideways so his legs were out from under the
table. He then bent back and did a hand spring propelling him
two rows away, landing in a defensive stance. His eyes ripped
around the room, but he didn't see anything. <Lets see, Ranma's
over there sleeping. The girl I sit in front of is in a state
of shock, and the rest of the room is empty. What's going on?>

"What's going on? Where is everyone?" Tomas was
confused. His danger sense wasn't going off anymore so it was
safe. Still he stayed in his defensive stance.

Rei was also confused, but for a different reason. <How
did he get over there? Did he teleport or something? What is
he?> She decided that she should answer his question, and maybe
get him to open up. "It's lunch time. The teacher decided to
let you sleep. I was, uh, just about to try to wake you up."

He
dropped his stance and gave the girl a once over. "Uh, I'm
afraid that I can't recall your first name, Hino-san. Would you
mind telling me, I'm Tomas."

"I'm Rei. It is a pleasure to meet you Tomas-san."

"Likewise, but don't be so formal. Hey, you said it was
lunchtime. Would you mind joining me? I'd really like the
company and it would be nice to have a new friend. I don't have
that many." <Yea, I got one, Ranma.>

"What about your friend over there. Shouldn't you wake
him?"

"Ranma? Nah, let him sleep. Besides, I, uh well I
kinda lost a bet to him earlier and owe him lunch. I don't have
enough on me to pay for two of us. If I let him sleep, then I
don't have to worry about it until later."

"That's no a nice thing to do. I'm going to wake him up.
" As Rei took her first step towards Ranma, Tomas grabbed her
arm and turned her around. She was about to scream at him to
take his hands off of her when she saw a desperate look in his
eyes. It shocked her so much that her anger left her before it
could surface.

"Please, don't! He eats a lot. I've only got enough for
one person right now. There is no way I could buy him lunch and
still have some money left over to feed me. Don't worry, I
promise to pay him back after school."

Rei didn't know why, but she believed him. He was making
his friend sound almost like Usagi when it came to eating.
<Still, I can use this to my advantage.> "I suppose that I can
be persuaded to let him sleep, but you owe me."

"Fine, no problem, name it."

"To start with, your going to eat lunch with me and some
friends of mine. I'm sure that they would be happy to meet you.
We can work out the rest later." <Not only will they be happy
to meet you, but jealous because your with me.> Thinking about
it, the looks on Minako's and Makoto's faces should be worth it.

"Hey that sounds great. Come on, lets go. I'm starved."
With that his hand switched from holding her arm to gently
taking her elbow so he could escort her to lunch. All through
this Ranma slept in peaceful slumber.

Rei was in total bliss. Here she was heading to have
lunch with her friends (and fellow Senshi) while on the arm of
one of the best looking guys in school. She had found out that
he was 19 years old, but had been out of school since his parents
died a couple of years ago. They had just gotten their food and
had stepped out the door looking for Rei's friends when all hell
broke loose.

*************************************************

"Here Usagi, you can have the rest of my lunch, I'm not very
hungry."

"Alright! Thanks Mako-chan. Mmph ulrg grunb this is
urmph good!" Usagi's day just went from bad to good. She had
been late to school and was sent to the principal's office.
Then she had gotten a lecture on being to class on time and
something she had never thought of before; she had to come to
school an hour early for morning detention for the next three
days. But now, Makoto (the best cook Usagi knows) was giving
her the huge, delouse lunch that was now before her. Without a
thought she dug in. It was all going great until a shadow fell
over the girls. They looked up and gasped in shock. There
was the biggest (and ugliest) youma that they had ever seen.
And one of its clawed hands was streaking toward Minako's
throat!

>From Wierd to Wierder
Chapter 3
The Youma Comes to Play

Tomas was enjoying himself. It was his first
day at school and already he had a beautiful girl on his
arm. When she pointed out her friends he felt his luck
come in. He was going to be eating lunch with five
beautiful women, not just one. He loved the jealous
looks he'd get from the guys because of this. When he
and Rei where only a few meters away from the door,
Tomas's danger sense was triggered. His body was
already shifting into his personalized fighting stance,
which emphasized power and defense. Even as he moved
he called out to the raven hair girl next to him.
"Rei, get out of here now! All hells about to break
loose!"

"What are you talk..." her last words were cut
off by a huge growl. A giant, ugly youma had appeared
in front of them. Fortunately its back was facing them.
One of its clawed arms suddenly ripped forward. Rei
turned to yell at Tomas to run, but he wasn't there.

*********************************************************

Minako saw the claw coming at her and knew she
was dead. As her death descended on her time seemed to
slow down. It seemed to inch toward her. When it was
but a few feet away the view seemed to shift. She felt
her body tip and could no longer see the youma. As she
watched the outer wall come closer time returned to
normal. The claw was driven into the ground and she
was sitting behind someone. Someone in a denim jacket
to be exact. She recognized it from the morning's
meeting with the two strange boys. Her eyes went
dreamy and started to flash little hearts.

*********************************************************

Tomas saw the clawed arm draw back and knew
there had to be a living target at the end.
Considering the fact that there were four gorgeous
women on the other side of the monster, Tomas knew that
he had to move fast. Seeing that the wall surrounding
the school would stop him from cutting right (not to
mention Rei was on that side of him), he cut left and
headed toward the creature's target. It was the blonde
with the normal hair cut. <Hey, that's the girl from
this morning! Damn, can't let her get hurt.> He
reached her when the claws on the beast were only a bit
more than a yard away. He scooped her into his arms
and sprang toward the corner of the wall. <Less places
to defend this way. It'll make my job easier, and I'm
going to need all the help I can get.> He then turned
to face the monster that had ruined his lunch period.
It was blinking in confusion, sure that it had a kill,
and now wondering where its victim had disappeared to.
Looking past the beast, he saw all the girls in shock.

"Rei, get everyone out of here! I can protect
the blonde but not if I have to keep an eye on all of
you too! MOVE!"

The monster turned toward him with an evil grin
that would do any evil doer justice. Tomas saw that
the girls were finally moving and heading toward Rei
who was starring at him with a shocked face. Then the
youma charged.

***********************************************************

The other three girls stared at the spot Minako
was at before Tomas moved her. When Makoto heard
Tomas's call to get Rei and get out of there she came
back to reality. The Youma turned toward Minako and
Tomas when he called out, so Makoto shoved the others
at Rei and started to run towards her. When they
reached Rei's side she explained her plan.

"Its simple, the quicker we get out of here the
quicker we transform and the quicker we can save them."
Rei was about to reply when a gut wrenching scream tore
through the air. Looking at the fight they all gasped.
In one voice both Ami and Usagi explained everyone's
thoughts.

"I think I'm going to be sick."

Tomas was in front of Minako, who was busy
loosing her lunch. He had a self-satisfied smirk on
his face and was in a tight defensive stance. He was
busy admiring his handy work.

The scream had come from the youma. Its right
arm was now nothing more than a stub near the shoulder.
The rest of the arm was currently shoved through the
youma's other shoulder.

The girls decided that this was a good time to
leave and headed toward the school. There they hoped
to find an empty room so they could transform into
their Senshi identities. Unfortunately the unexpected
happened.

"The door's locked. Now what do we do? We
can't get in."

"Don't worry Mako-chan. The boy can't see us
here. Lets transform right now." Usagi was getting
worried. The fact that the boy was smiling at what he
had done to the youma didn't sit well with her. It was
almost as if he had enjoyed it. It was too bad that
Ami had to spoil her plan.

"We can't transform here Usagi. They put
people to watch from the windows. If we transform
they'll know our identities." Ami paused to think and
came up with the only solution she could. "Everyone,
there's a dumpster in an alley three blocks from here.
We could transform behind it."

Hope came back to Usagi's eyes. They still had
a chance to save their friend and the guy who had saved
her before. "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go!
Ready everyone?"

"Lets do it!" cried Makoto.

"Ready to go" said Ami.

"..." Rei was missing.

Makoto looked around for a moment and spotted
her. She was already out the gate and heading down the
street. They all took after her trying to catch up.

**********************************************************

Tomas gritted his teeth and spit out the blood
that was in his mouth. He was getting trashed and
didn't like it one bit. <This thing is full of
surprises. Maybe I should grab the girl and split.
There's no way I can take this thing down by myself
without causing massive property damage. I need to get
Ranma. Damn, too late.>

The youma attacked again. Tomas put up a
successful defense this time. He dodged the first two
blows, blocked the next three (getting a viscous cut on
his arm in the process) and then making a successful
counter attack imbedding it into the school wall.

For this breather he reflected on how things
got out of hand. <I can't believe it regenerated the
arm I cut off with my flame blade. Reminds me of
something I saw in that Dragon Ball Z anime. The fact
that it then used the arm I cut off as a weapon shocked
the shit out of me. I got to be careful against this
thing.>

Unfortunately he was a bit late on that
self-advice. He never noticed the blast the monster
sent at him until it hit. The blast threw him back and
aggravated his injured are and ribs causing him to drop
to his knees in pain. He let out an agonizing scream
as the pain flared through him. The youma, seeing him
no longer moving, leapt in for the kill.

*********************************************************

Minako was scared. Not for her own life. Not
of the youma in front of her. These were normal things
for Sailor Venus. She was use to them by now. She was
scared for the young man trying to protect her.

He was battered, bruised, cut, and showed no
signs of stopping until he was dead. When he threw the
youma into the wall and it stopped moving she thought
it was over. She closed her eyes to give a prayer of
thanks to the kami and missed seeing the monster throw
the energy blast. She noticed it the same time Tomas
did, when it hit him. Minako shrunk back at the sound
of his scream. Then the youma lunged at them, and she
was sure her hero was dead.

"MOUKO TAKABISHA!"

**********************************************************

Ranma was in a peaceful, deep sleep. He was
having no dreams that he would later recall, but there
was a slight smile on his lips. The shaking of the
room woke him, mostly because it caused him to fall out
of his chair. Looking around he noticed the room was
empty. He was still pondering this fact when he heard
an explosion. Even as he moved to the window to see
what was happening, a terrible scream reached his ears.

<That sounded like Tomas!> He reached the
window in time to see the youma leap towards his friend
who wasn't even moving. Ranma leapt out the window
letting loose with one of his favorite attacks.

"MOUKO TAKABISHA!" A ball of bright blue ki
shot from his hands and slammed into the youma driving
it into the ground right in front of Tomas. Ranma
watched as Tomas slowly get up and move to place himself
between the creature and a girl.

"Ranma, be careful! That things tough! Just
buy me a few minuets to rest and we can take it out
together."

"Okay, I'll see what I can do." He turned back
to the creature in time to dodge the energy blast that
was coming at him. Ranma chose to take the fight to
the youma and moved into battle. He dodged, ducked,
and jumped over the club that was being wielded by the
creature. Seeing an opening he slid inside the
monster's defenses. "KATCHU TENSHIN ARMAGURIKAN!"
Ranma cut loose with over 500 punches in less then a
second. The force of it drove the ugly beast back
into the hole Tomas originally created with it. It
was then that Tomas appeared at his side.

"Thanks for the save back there. Listen, I've
got an idea that's so crazy it might work."

"You know the last time you told me that we had
fifty people chasing us out of a town in china."

"Yeah, but this time its different. We have a
demon chasing us instead."

"Good point. Okay, So what's your glorious
plan?" Ranma was beyond scared now. His friend was
smiling, and it wasn't an 'I'm happy smile' either.

"You remember when we first met?" Ranma was
close to panic. They both did some really stupid
things that day. "You recall how the fight ended?"
He was now prepared to bolt. THAT had been the dumbest
of them all. "Let's do it again." Now Ranma was
afraid.

"AGAIN!? Are you nuts?!"

"Yes and yes, but you should know that by now.
You told me so yourself often enough."

"The last, not to mention only, time we did
that it almost killed the both of us! And you want to
do it again?! With your arm mangled like that?!"

"Look, Ranma, either I bleed to death, ugly
over there kills me, or I die in the attack. What do
I have to loose? At least this way I'm going down
fighting. Besides, we're stronger now. I should be
fine."

Ranma looked at his friend's face and saw what
was there. A determination to win no matter what.
Deep in the eyes, he could tell Tom was calculating the
chance that he would survive. The front of the eyes
showed that the odds didn't mean a thing to him. He
would not loose and even death wouldn't stop him.
Ranma sighed. "Okay, lets it. Try to lure it as far
from the school as you can. I'll start circling."

The youma pulled itself from the wall and
turned to face the boys. Ranma moved in what seemed
like a flanking maneuver while Tomas took a defensive
stance. Minako wondered what was going on.

Seeing Tomas wounded and alone, the youma
attacked him with a fury. Tomas dodged the attacks
and countered enough to make sure that the youma wasn't
moving from its spot. As he did this he gathered as
much heat as he could from his surroundings. As soon
as he finished this he tapped into the astral plane
and gathered the mystic flames.

Even as Tomas did this, Ranma started running
circles around the two combatants. Every lap he
brought himself closer to the two. Ranma concentrated
on keeping his emotions cool and his fist cold.
<Two more laps to go. One more.> "NOW!" He brought
himself behind the creature and slammed his cold fist
into its back while forming a shield of pure Ki to
protect himself from the blast. At the same time
Tomas drove his two flaming fists into the youma's
chin.

"HIRYU SHOTEN HAAAAAA!!!!!"

"PHOENIX RISING INFERNOOOOOO!!!!!"

Tomas had failed to bring his own shield up
to full, and was hit with the fury of his own attack.

**********************************************************

The sailor scouts where a block away when the
attacks went off. They stopped and stared in shock as
a tornado made of pure fire tore into existence. Over
a minuet and a half later it finally died out. A
minuet after that they got their bodies working and
sprinted toward the school.

**********************************************************

The youma, Ranma, and Tomas were gone. Minako was in a
corner of the yard staring into space. They tried to
question her, but all she could do was point over the
east wall and mumble something about that way and being
in love. Exchanging a glance, the other Senshi hopped
over the east wall and tried to fallow.

***********************************************************

"Man this hurts. Only good thing is that the
attack sealed my open wounds." Tomas was in pain. As
he and Ranma roof-hopped toward the hospital, he was
leaning heavily on his friend.

"Don't talk Tomas. You don't have the strength
for it. You never should have pulled it off if you
couldn't get a shield up. I'm sure that we could have
beaten it some other way. The hospital should only be
a mile or so ahead." Ranma was a bit on the crisp side
but otherwise okay. He was doing most of the work.

"Hey, I wonder what everyone below us is saying,
what with us glowing." Both of their battle auras
where flared up to help keep them moving fast. Ranma
was glowing blue where Tomas was red. Tomas's was very
faint, however.

"Ah, they're probably talking about angels or
some such thing."

"Stop right there, demons!"

"Well, Ranma, that blows that theory." Tomas
studied the people in front of him. There were three
women in sailor suits with ridiculously short skirts.
All of them looked too old to be dressing in such an
outfit. One had short blonde hair and looked almost
mannish in appearance. Well, if one didn't look below
the neck, anyway. The next had long light green hair
in waves. The last had long dark green hair. All
three of them had the look of seasoned fighters.

Ranma, on the other hand, was looking behind
them. He could feel some power sources heading
straight at them and fast. "Hey, brother, we got to
make this quick. More of them are coming up behind
us. We could handle these three, but if any more come
we're toast. Got any more plans up your sleeve?"

Tomas didn't bother to reply. His eyes were
closed and his aura brightening. He was once more
gathering the flames of the astral plane.

Ranma realized what was happening and moved
behind his friend. It was already too late to stop
him. All he could do now was shield him until Tomas
got the attack off. He wrapped his hands around
Tomas's waist to help steady him. He then sent a quick
prayer to any Kami that might be watching so that his
friend might survive his attack.

The blonde in front of them smirked. "Hiding
behind your injured comrade isn't going to save you,
scum. WORLD SHAKING!"

"DEEP SUBMERGE!"

Ranma quickly countered with one of his newer
moves. "STAR SHIELD!" A blue ki shield appeared before
them. The combined attacks slammed into the shield and
knocked them back to the edge of the building. The
shield held, however, and neither one of the boys was
hurt. Ranma dropped the shield just as Tomas opened
his eyes.

His once blue eyes now looked like living fire.
The mystic flames were raging inside of him. Tomas
could feel their power burn in his soul. He prepared
his counter attack and smirked right back at the girls.

"Not too bad, girls. No where near good
enough, but still not to bad. Maybe you'd like a
taste of what I'm capable of." He reached into his
soul and drew forth the flames from within. Directing
the energy to form under the girls who were staring at
him, he released the energy straight up.

"PHOENIX FIREWALL ARISE!"

A wall of mystical flames tore up from under
the three outer Senshi. Even as they started to scream
in pain, Tomas collapsedd into Ranma's arms from the
exertion, totally exhausted.

Ranma stared at Tomas in shock. He could barely
sense his Ki. <He used his last reserves! That idiot!
I told him to pave his energy! I could have take those
three without a problem!> Ranma looked at Tomas again
and felt his Ki level start dropping even more. Ranma
realized that Tomas was dying and quickly began to
transfer his own Ki to his friend. <I hope this will
keep him going until we reach somewhere safe.

Ranma sensed another power source approach from
the east. His eyes widened as he tried to gage its
strength. <By the Kami! Its got to be stronger then
Saffron! And blocking the way to the hospital, too.
Great, now what?>

Ranma only spared a moment to look in the flames at the
three figures and then turned north carrying his best
friend away from those who would harm them. <I think
we better stay away from home. I don't want those
others to follow us and get mom. I think I'll try for
grandfathers. He's supposed to have a shrine out side
Tokyo. That's probably the best I can do.>

Next time: The chase is on! Scouts wanting revenge,
Martial Artists wanting a place to heal their wounds
and aliens who want just one thing. And guess who
Ranma's grandfather is.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Note: I know Ranma is acting out of character. The
reasons why will be explained in memories and
flashbacks throughout the story. Also, in this story
I'm throwing all of the Inner Senshi into Juuban
high. They are all the same age as Ranma, about 17.
Tomas is 19, but has been out of school since his
parents' death, about two years, so he is in the
same grade as Ranma. I'm also making Hotaru 15 in
this, but she goes to a different school. This is
an alternate Sailor Moon universe, bet the changes
are pretty much in age. In the Ranma Time-line it
is about 14 months after the bombed wedding. For
the Sailor Moon universe this is somewhere between
Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon SS. For the Tenchi
Universe this happens after the second movie. Washu
has aged Mayuka to 14 years. This is NOT an SI fic.

Chapter 4
Part A
Race to the Masaki Residence

Ranma dodged around the corner into an alley
just as a Mars Flame Sniper reached him. The heat
of the flame caused his skin to redden and his
pigtail to singe. He turned left out of the alley
and jumped over a Thunder Dragon and a surprised
Sailor Jupiter. As he landed, he dropped his cargo
and cupped his hands in front of himself.
Concentrating, he formed a yellow ball of Chi with
his confidence. "MOUKO TAKABISHA!" The Fierce
Tigerball Attack slammed into Jupiter's chest as she
turned to face him. Her body flew over a block
until she crashed into Sailor Moon, causing them
both to go down. Ranma picked Tomas up in a
fireman's carry and headed for the roof tops.
<Maybe I can lose them from the high ground.>

As Ranma reached the roof of the building,
Tomas let off a quiet groan. Ranma smiled slightly
and cut off the flow of chi that he had been
feeding into his friend. Feeling drained from the
constant expenditure of his chi, Ranma headed toward
the edge of the building with the intent of getting
out of there. He was three forths of the way when
Sailors Mercury and Mars reached the roof in front
of him. With out even slowing, Ranma arced his free
hand in front of himself. "FLAMING CHI WAVE!" The
wave of golden chi was hurtled into the two Senshi
knocking them off the building. <Man, these girls
never give up! And I'm getting tired. What does
it take to lose them?>

Ranma ran to the edge and jumped to the next
roof. As he was in mid-air, an electric blast from
Jupiter ran across his side, burning his shirt and
his skin. Gritting his teeth as he landed, Ranma
saw a door leading into the building he was on.
With no other choice, he headed inside, hoping the
psychos chasing him wouldn't want to start a fight
inside.

*****************************************************

The sun had just set in the west. The sky held a
faint tint of red but no more of the beautiful sunset
that had just closed the day. In front of a long
set of stairs a public bus came to a stop. After a
few moments with the doors open a battered figure
stepped off. A moment later a taller figure in an
even worse state than the first got off. The two
figures stood there even after the bus left.
Finally the taller one spoke.

"Well, looks like we made it. Think they
were able to follow us here?"

"No chance. There is no way they could have
known what bus we got on or where we are going. It
was lucky the building we ducked into was a bus
station. We're finally safe."

A third voice then interrupted them. "I
hate to disappoint you boys, but you're not safe
yet."

Tomas and Ranma looked at each other.
Neither of them could come up with something to say.
Finally Ranma said what was on both their minds.
"No way. No way in hell."

The two slowly turned around and looked at
who was behind them. There, in all their skimpy
outfit glory where the Inner Senshi. The one in the
middle spoke. "For hurting our friends and
endangering civilians in your rampage, in the name
of the moon, I will punish you!"

Tomas blinked a couple of times before
turning to Ranma. "Have you got anything left?
I'm all out." Ranma shook his head ever so
slightly. "Well, then I guess we have no choice."

"None at all. I really wish these uncute
tomboys would just leave us a loan. You'd think
they'd have figured out that we don't want to fight.
Oh, well, allow me the honor." Ranma and Tomas
shifted into their respective stances. Then Ranma
called out the move. "SAOTOME SCHOOL OF ANYTHING
GOES MARTIAL ARTS FINAL TECHNIQUE: RUN AWAY!" With
that the two young me turned and bolted into the
woods at an incredible speed.

It took the Senshi another minuet to realize
what had happened and give chase.

*****************************************************

All the way back in the Juuban district the
Outer Senshi were resting in their home after their
disastrous run in with the two martial artists.
Hotaru, a.k.a. Sailor Saturn, had healed the
majority of their wounds when she arrived at the
scene of the fight, but the effort of it weakened
her so much that she couldn't go with the other
Senshi. She had just woken up from a deep sleep
and went to join her guardians in the living room.

"Hello Michiru-mama, Haruka-papa. Are you
okay now?" The Senshi of Neptune and Uranus looked
up at the sound of her voice and smiled at her.
They could both hear the worry in her voice and
wanted to reassure her that they were indeed all
right.

Haruka spoke up first. "We're just fine
Hotaru. You healed us very well. Thank you."

"Yes, we were more worried about you than
about ourselves. It must have taken a lot to heal
the three of us from those burns." Michiru gave
another smile to Hotaru.

"What happened on that roof? What hurt you
so bad? Was it a youma?" <Whatever hurt mama and
papa and Pluto had to be strong. I don't want to
come up against it alone.>

"Not exactly, Hotaru-chan. There was a
youma today, but we didn't fight it. Pluto detected
two people who were disrupting the time stream. We
went to stop them but they got the upper hand on us.
When we tried to talk to them they attacked us. It
caught us completely by surprise." Michiru gave
Haruka a questioning glance but didn't say anything.
It was returned with a 'play along' look. Hotaru
missed them both. "They were both very injured, and
didn't look like they would be able to even walk
without each other's help. The taller of the two
made a few smart remarks and created those flames
under us."

Michiru picked up the story. "I'm glad you weren't
there Hotaru-chan. If you had been caught in those
flames too, Usagi would have had to use the Imperial
Crystal to cure us all, and then she wouldn't have
been able to go with the others after them."

Haruka looked at the clock and saw that it was
getting close to dinnertime. She told Hotaru to go
and get cleaned up for dinner while she and Michiru
finished the cooking. After Hotaru left the room,
she turned to talk to her lover. "I'm sure you're
wondering why I told her that."

"Yes, I am. There was no reason to lie like
that."

Haruka sighed. "She is to young to
understand why we did what we did. She would think
of us as cold heartless people. This way, not only
do we get her aid undisputed when we go after them
again, but we don't have to worry about her having
a moral crisis in the middle of a fight. What she
doesn't know won't hurt her."

Michiru was quiet for a few moments before
finally speaking. "I don't like having to lie to
her. It's not right. But I can see the point this
time. Pluto did say that the threat to the time
stream must be destroyed. We can't let her know
everything. Hotaru isn't going to understand that
just because they're not threatening us now, they
wont in the future. Pluto was very clear on that
part. It is best to take them out before they
damage the future. If she knew that they are
innocent right now, who knows what would happen.
She might rebel against us if we did, and that would
break my heart. I'll go along with you on this."

"Thanks, Michiru-chan." They were silent
for a few minutes, and then Hotaru came back.
They all sat down and enjoyed a quiet dinner.

*****************************************************

Ranma and Tomas dodged through the trees.
They knew that they wouldn't be able to get away
from the girls chasing them. The fact that they
were running from girls really hurt Ranma's overly
large ego. He may not have been putting his foot
in his mouth that much anymore, but he was as cocky
as ever. He was sending silent curses to the Kami
about how unfair life was when a reply was sent.
It came in the form of Sailor Mercury.

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!"

A stream of ice cold water slammed into
Ranma's back, activating his curse and propelling
her forward. She kept going up until he slammed
into a tree. The force of the blast caused the tree
to fall over. A few seconds later and Tomas was
there pulling him out of the tree and carrying him,
now her, in a fireman's carry. As Ranma regained
her senses, Tomas spied something ahead. He came
to a quick decision and raced toward it. He quickly
outlined his plan to Ranma, who was in too much pain
at the moment to do anything but agree.

Tomas, still carrying Ranma, stepped out of
the woods and onto the shore of a lake. "Just
remember, Ranma, act like someone totally different.
If they ask you which way I went, tell them the
truth. I'll try to double back in about five
minuets. You had better have some traps set up. I
don't want a fight right now." Before Ranma could
respond, Tomas through her into the lake. He was
back into the woods before Ranma hit the water.

Under water, Ranma pulled off her shirt to
try to keep the Senshi from recognizing her as the
boy they had been chasing. Just as she brought her
head up, the Senshi came out of the woods. Ranma
let out a scream, and tried to cover her chest.
"Perverts! Where did they go! I'll kill them for
seeing me naked like that!" She preyed that the
Sailor Senshi bought it.

Large sweat drops formed over the Senshi's
heads. After a quick look at the topless girl
ranting in the water, Sailor Jupiter spoke up.
"We're after those two, also. If you will shows us
where they went, we promise to make them pay for
this."

Ranma looked up and acted like this was the
first time he noticed them. After blinking a couple
of times, she dropped back into the water. She then
pointed in the general direction that Tomas went and
told them so. They thanked her and took off back
into the woods. After She was sure that they where
gone, She pulled her shirt on and got out of the
lake. <Now, to try to make those traps Tom wanted.
It shouldn't be too hard. A few leg snares, maybe a
pit. Just enough to make them cautious and slow
down.>

All of a sudden a voice spoke behind him.
"Maybe you want to tell me just what is going on,
huh?" Ranma turned around and saw a very attractive
girl with Cyan colored hair floating behind him. A
very attractive girl holding what looked like a
sword made of energy to his throat.

<GULP!>

*****************************************************

"Hmm, that's strange. Some massive powers
just entered the Masaki grounds. I wonder what it
could be. I think I had better find out. The five
of them could cause trouble."

Washu was in her sub-space lab when the
sensors informed her of the intruders. There were
five of them, all heading in the same direction and
close to each other. Living at the Masaki house
one learned not to take intruders lightly. After
all, they could end up with another Mihoshi. Just
then, as Ryouko floated through the wall of the lab,
her sensors picked up two weaker power sources in
front of the first five

"Looks like those two are being chased, and headed
right for the lake. This should be interesting."
A new gleam entered her eyes. She couldn't wait to
find out what the first two did to get the other
five to chase them. "But I'll find out, because I
am the greatest scientific genus in the universe.
HAHAHAHAHA!!"

Ryouko decided that this was a good time to butt in
and made herself know. "Hey, Washu, dinner's ready.
You going to join us or should I tell Sasami to make
a plate for you?"

"Ryouko just the demoness I wanted to see.
There's a fun little chase going on out in the woods.
Its heading straight for the lake. I want you to go
and check it out. Try to get one of them to talk to
you about it. It should be interesting."

"Why should I do anything for you? What am
I gonna get out of it?"" Ryouko saw the gleam in
Washu's eyes and decided to get what ever she could
out of it.

"Fine, I promise not to experiment on you
for two weeks. Is that good enough for you?" <Of
course I haven't said when those two weeks will be.>

Ryouko thought for a moment and realized
that this was the best deal that she would probably
get, and agreed. After getting where the chase was
heading, she teleported to the lake. She got there
just in time to see Ranma land in the water and
Tomas enter the woods. She watched the scene with
the Senshi unfold. While Ranma was busy putting on
a show, one thought was going through Ryouko's mind.
<They better not try to take my Tenchi!>

After the girls in short skirts left, Ryouko
decided to talk to the red head who was coming out
of the water. She teleported to a spot behind her,
and about eight feet in the air. "Maybe you want to
tell me just what is going on, huh?" As the young
redhead turned around slowly and looked up at her
Ryouko summoned her energy sword and placed it at
the girl's neck. Ryouko could see the nervousness
in the girl. "Well, I'm waiting." The girl's eyes
were flickering around, most likely trying to find
a way to escape. Ryouko got annoyed and chose to
ruff the girl up a bit. She teleported down to the
ground and picked the stranger up by the shirt.
"You're going to answer me now, or else there are
going to be problems."

At that point Ranma's nerves broke and her
words flowed in a rush. "Me and my friend are on
the way to my grandfather's house. We were attacked
and bolted into the woods. I'm tellin' you we didn't
me to tress pass. Please, please you've got to put
me down! Tomas will be back in a few minutes and
I've got to get things set up! Let go of me!"

At the grandfather comment Ryouko raised an eyebrow.
 "Alright, girl, whose your
Grandfather? Tell me or else?"

"Katsuhito Masaki! His name is Katsuhito Masaki!
I'm Ranma Saotome." With those words Ryouko dropped
Ranma and stared at her. After a moment she decides
to speak up.

"I'm Ryouko. I'm living at the Masaki home.
I'll go let Katsuhito know you're here and get you
some help. Stay in this area. This is where I'll
lead everyone. Try not to get killed in the
meantime." Ryouko then teleported to the dinning
room. <If I let Tenchi know that his cousin is
being attacked and needs help, its sure to go in my
favor. I'll be up on that spoiled brat Aeka.>

She materialized right above the table.
Before anyone could say anything she quickly told
them what she had learned. Tenchi's reaction was
of surprise to say the least.

"I have a cousin? Grandfather why didn't
you ever tell me?"

"Your mother has an older sister. The
person out there is most likely her child. The
last time I talked to her was when she told me she
was pregnant almost eighteen years ago. Nodoka and
I didn't part on the best of terms. I didn't want
to burden you with knowledge that couldn't be acted
upon, so I never said anything about that side of
the family. That's not important right now, though.
Since it is Nodaka's child out there, we must help.
It is, after all, a family member."

Tenchi gave his grandfather a look of
surprise. Grandfather, from what Ryouko said, it
sounds like those are the Sailor Senshi out there.
We can't just go and attack them!"

Aeka looked at Tenchi with a steady gaze.
"Lord Tenchi, who are these Sailor Senshi? And why
can't we stop them from hurting your cousin?"

"They're superheroes who live in the Juuban
district. They battle monsters and such! No one
knows who they are, but they've always helped people."

Kiyone raised an eyebrow at that point.
"They're a group of vigilantes, huh. They could
have gone bad, you know. I've seen it happen on
other worlds. Tenchi, they are breaking the law by
attacking innocent people for no reason. They need
to be stopped, and we're the only ones around here
who can do so."

Tenchi was still somewhat shocked by the
fact that the family he never knew he had was being
chased by the legendary Sailor Senshi.
"But...but...grandfather, we can't just..."

"Tenchi!" Katsuhito snapped. "This is
family, even if we never met Ranma! We will NOT
allow family to be attacked like this!" For just a
moment the old priest was gone, and the Prince of
Jurai stood in his place.

Tenchi looked at his grandfather in something akin
to awe. This was a side he hadn't seen before.
"Yes, grandfather. Aeka, Kiyone, Ryouko, lets go.
We have to get there fast."

Ryouko was the first to react. "I'll
teleport ahead. We'll head toward the house, so try
to set up an ambush between the lake and here." So
saying she immediately went back to the lake where a
new figure was arguing with Ranma.

*****************************************************

"What do you mean there aren't any traps set
up?! How the hell are we suppose to get them off
our backs then?! I try to throw anything and I'll
probably keel over." It was at that point Tomas saw
Ranma pointing. He turned, expecting to see the
Sailor brats. What he saw, instead, caused him to
perform a nice looking facefault.

Ranma took the opportunity to speak up.
"We're supposed to get away from them with help like
that. Are they coming, ah, um, I forgot your name."

"Its Ryouko." She landed by them as Tomas
finally picked himself off of the ground. "And no
they're not coming. They're setting up an ambush up
ahead. Come on, We don't want to disappoint them."
She turned to head into the woods when Tomas grabbed
her arm.

"You and Ranma stay behind me. They'll think
that your chasing me, too. Stop after a few meters
and pretend to be out of breath. Let them go by you
then follow from behind. We can then catch them on
all four sides."

"Sounds good. Just head straight that way."
Tomas took off into the woods. A few seconds later
Ranma and Ryouko went after him. After a minute
of running through the woods both Ryouko and Ranma
stopped, pretending to be out of breath. It didn't
take long for the Senshi to catch up to them.

Sailor Moon saw the two girls huffing and
spoke to them. "Are you alright? They didn't hurt
you did they?" She sounded concerned for them.

As Ranma contemplated this Ryouko took the
initiative. "No they didn't, (Huff...Puff) but we .
.. we couldn't ... keep up. Please say that ...
you will get them?"

"Of course we will! We are the Sailor
Senshi and have never loss. Don't worry we'll make
them pay for whatever they did to you. Lets go
girls!" The other Senshi, who had been using the
time to catch their breath, took off with their
leader.

After they were gone Ranma looked at Ryouko.
"Well, that was easy."

"Lets just hope that the others are in place.
Come on, I don't want to miss the fun!" The two of
them followed the Senshi toward the ambush.

Tomas raced through the woods. As the trees
and bushes whipped by him, his eyes sought out the
ambush. <If I'm lucky, they'll give me some warning
before the trap is sprung. If I'm not, well, better
not think about that.> All of a sudden some
movement caught his eye. As he stared a head he
could make out a young man waving him forward.
Guessing that this was one of the people Ryouko
said would help, he sprinted a bit faster,
eventually stopping behind the tree. Looking at
the young man, who bore a resemblance to Ranma,
Tomas opened his mouth. "So, you are?"

"I'm Tenchi Masaki. I live here at the
shrine. Who are you?"

"The names Tomas. I'm Ranma's friend.
Listen, these people are tough. I hope you know
what your getting into."

"I have the Tenchi-ken." Tenchi held up the
hilt of Yousho's sword to show to Tomas. 'I'll be
fine. The others are about ten meters away on either
side of the path. We'll catch them in a cross fire
and drive them off. Don't worry, what can go wrong."
Tomas looked at him for a few seconds before turning
back to the path. Moments later the sound of feet
against hard packed dirt was ringing through the
woods.

Tomas grabbed Tenchi's arm and yanked him
into view of the trail. "We've got to get them to
stop. I want Ranma to have time to catch them from
behind. You look enough like him that in the dark
they might mistake you for him. Just keep that
sword of yours loose." Tenchi looked at him
questionably, but it was too late. The Senshi had
arrived and started spitting speeches at the two of
them. Tomas rolled his eyes and waited for them to
stop, while Tenchi looked at them like they were
nuts. He couldn't believe that anyone would stop
to give speeches in the middle of a fight. He never
thought this part of the stories were true. When
the long-winded speeches were finally over Tomas
spoke up again. "I have only one thing to say to
you."

Mars gave him one of her looks of death and asked
him what it was.

"Suckers."

It was at that point the fun started. The
Sailor Senshi were caught completely by surprise.
It had never occurred to them that the boys they
had been chasing could have allies in the woods.
Aeka and Kiyone opened fire from the sides. The
first few blasts hit Sailor Mercury, knocking her
to the ground. She was lucky that Aeka had hit her
as a pair of blasts from Kiyone's gun ripped through
the space that her head had occupied moments before,
and would have put some nice holes in anything that
had been there.

Immediately after the initial volley, Tomas and
Tenchi charged, bringing the fight into a general
melee. Tomas crashed into Sailor Moon with a flying
kick. With his foot in her face, he twisted his body
and released a devastating round house to her head.
The pain exploded in her head, and soon drove he
right nto the deep blackness of unconsciousness.

Mars, seeing her princess go down so viscously, went
into a rage. She moved to attack Tomas, but was
stopped when a flash of blue crossed her vision.
She lept backwards to avoid it, but wasn't quite
fast enough. P aiece of her skirt fluttered to the
ground, leaving the panties underneath exposed.
Tenchi, in full Jurai battle armor, stood before
her, the Tenchi-ken glowing, and a look of
determination on his face. Mars released a
firebird, but it was intercepted by a yellow blast
of energy. Ryouko had arived, and wouldn't let
anyone hurt her Tenchi. Mars looked around and saw
that Jupiter was being beaten back by the red hair
girl from the lake. Bitter thoughts rose to her
mind at how they had been fooled into running right
into a trap.

The remaining two Senshi decided that it was time
to leave. As Mars moved to pick up Sailor Mercury,
she noticed that she had a clear shot at Aeka's
back. She fired off
one of her Mars Fire Bird attacks. Tomas, who had
been catching a quick breather off to one side,
noticed this, and placed himself between the attack
and its intended target. At the sound of the
explosion, Aeka turned around. Even before she had
the time to back away from the intense heat, the
raging fires condensed inward and disappeared. The
only thing left was Tomas, who was smirking at the
red Senshi's back.

"Care to try that again, little girl."
He mustered the most insulting tone that he could.
At the sound of his voice, Sailor Mars turned looked
over her shoulder and stopped. Not only was he
unharmed, but he looked even better than before.
"You do know that fire can't hurt a Phoenix, right?"

Mars just took off after Jupiter, who was carrying
Sailor Moon away from the fight.

After she was gone, Tomas turned around to address
the purple hair girl behind him. "Guess what, I
lied." So saying he collapsed at Aeka's feet.

This is the standard disclaimer that all fanfics get. The
characters of Ranma 1/2 belong to Rumiko Takakashi. The characters
of Sailor Moon belong to Naoko Takeuchi. Tenchi Muyo! Belongs to
Kajishima Masaki. This is all for non-profit reasons, so please
don't sue me. I don't have enough to make it worth while anyway.
And now on with the story.

Note: I know Ranma is acting out of character. The reasons why
will be explained in memories and flashbacks throughout the
story. Also, in this story I'm throwing all of the Inner Senshi
into Juuban high. They are all the same age as Ranma, about 17.
Tomas is 19, but has been out of school since his parents' death,
about two years, so he is in the same grade as Ranma. I'm also
making Hotaru 15 in this, but she goes to a different school.
This is an alternate Sailor Moon universe, but the changes are
pretty much in age. In the Ranma Time-line it is about 14 months
after the bombed wedding. For the Sailor Moon universe this is
somewhere between Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon SS. For the
Tenchi Universe this happens after the second movie. Washu has
aged Mayuka to 14 years. This is NOT an SI fic.

Chapter 4
Part B
Questions but no Answers

Hotaru lay in her bed, looking for all the world as if
she was in a wonderful dreamscape where she only needed to
believe to make her heart's deepest wish come true. She rested
upon her back, her dark hair flayed on her pillow, and her chest
rising and falling in the slow steady pattern of sleep. Her
sheets were pulled up to her neck, while the bedspread was folded
and resting upon the chair which accompanied her desk. The
shining light of the full moon glowed on a paper which was
fluttering as a gentle breeze blew through the room.

Haruka smiled at the scene before her and, knowing that
her daughter was safe, closed the door.

Hotaru's eyes snapped open. A small sigh escaped her
lips and she went back to all of the questions that had been
raised to her eyes. Who were the two that hurt Haruka-papa and
Michiru-mama? And what did happen? What her guardians told her
and what she saw with her own eyes were conflicting. She was
told that the bad people had attacked first, but she was sure
that she had scene the World Shaking and Deep Submerge attacks
go off before the flames. Was there a melee fight before? If
so, why were there no bruises on her guardians? Surely if the
bad people could hurt them, they would have left marks. If the
bad people had won, why didn't they stay? For that matter, how
could two injured people defeat three of the Sailor Senshi?
Another sigh escaped her lips. As her heavy eyes closed on
their own accord, and sleep sought to claim her, one final
question crossed her mind. <Does anyone else have as many
questions as I do?>

***************************************************************

"AAAHHHHH! PERVERT!"

Ranma had been sitting in the furo, relaxing his muscles
from the day of fighting. His mind was drifting over the many
events. <With all that happened I forgot about mom. I'll give
her a call as soon as I'm done in here. Right now, I have other
problems. What am I going to do about my curse? I've got to
tell them, but what will they think? I meet a cousin I never
new I had, and I've got to show him something that will push him
away from me. (sigh) life is never easy.> He rose from the
depths and headed to get his towel. He made it half way before
Aeka walked in, her own towel wrapped arround her. The familer
scream (at least to Ranma) filled the air followed closely by a
bunch of logs. Ranma barely had time to contemplate the floating
wood before he entered blissful unconsiousness.

*****************************************************************

Sasami carried a plate of food through the door to Washu's
subspace lab. It had been almost seven hours since the fight in
the woods, and the boy who had protected her sister was still
unheard from. Even though it was now passed the midnight hour,
no one in the Masaki household was asleep. Well, no one except
the black-haired youth that Aeka electrocuted for sneaking into
the bath. Ranma was still missing and until the black-hair boy
woke up they wouldn't know where the girl was or what happened to
her.

Sasami sighed at the thought. Here she was, hoping to
make some new friends and meet some new family, and one was
missing and the other unconscious. She looked over at Tomas's
inert body as she passed, noting that he was looking better.
Sasami continued to head toward Washu, who was monitoring some
displays. "Washu-san, I brought you a snack. If you're going to
be up all night you should eat something."

"Thanks Sasami. Say, this looks good!" The red-hair
genius started to shovel the food into her mouth. As the food
disappeared Washu turned her attention to the display clock in
her lab. "What are you doing up at this hour, Sasami? Its after
one. You should be in bed."

"I couldn't sleep. With Tenchi-san's cousin missing and
her friend severely injured, I was worried. No one else is
asleep either. Even Mayuka is still awake. Ryouko and Kiyone
are watching over that boy so they can find out where Ranma-neesan
is. Everyone else is in the living room trying to figure out
what happened."

"Well, Sasami, I can put you at ease in one category for
all this." She waved a hand at Tomas's body. "He is fine. In
fact, I'm surprised that he isn't up yet. He should have been
moving around over an hour ago."

"And I would have been if someone hadn't taken my
clothes. I don't care for giving free peep shows to children."

The two aliens turned to look at Tomas who was now
sitting up with his head in his hands. He was groaning and
mumbling something about a headache.

Sasami got her first good look at him. Well muscled,
thin, with sandy blonde hair and striking blue eyes. She hoped
that he would be her friend. With her sister and Ryouko always
arguing over Tenchi-sama, she needed someone to talk to.

Washu's thoughts were totally different. Her sensors
were going balistic trying to read his power level. He was
almost as strong as Lord Tenchi! Here was a prime test subject!
Her mind was already going over all of the samples she'd get to
take.

Ryo-ohki, who was on top of Sasami's head as always, had
one thought on her mind. <New friend!> She then proceded to
introduce her self. "Miya!"

That got Tomas's attention. He was familiar with the
neko-ken from the journey, and didn't want to experience it
again. <I've got to find that cat and get rid of it! If Ranma
comes across it we'll be in trouble. I can't even break him from
the neko-ken.> His eyes darted around the room trying to find
the feline. All that his eyes came across was a weird looking
rabbit on the blue-hair girl's head. "You better get rid of the
cat. If Ranma comes across it we're going to be in trouble. I
don't want him to flip on me."

Sasami stared at Ranma perplexed. "Why do you keep
calling Ranma him? Ranma's a girl."

"And you don't have to worry about her having a problem
with cats because she's missing."

That brought Tomas out of the cat problem fast. He
stared at Washu for a few minuets before he finally got his head
working. "Who are you two? And for that matter where am I? And
where's Ranma? If anything happened to him..."

Washu looked at him with a familiar gleem in her eyes.
It is like she is looking at a new test subject (which she hopes
she is). "I am Washu, the greatest scientific genus in the
Universe! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Tomas took his time looking at her, and around the room.
After a few moments of silence he waved his hand taking in
everything around him. "You build all this?"

"Why yes, I did. This is my lab. Had you gone anywhere
else you probably would have died."

"Well, I'll have to agree with you, Washu. I've never
seen any place like this in my life."

"Call me Washu-chan."

"Err... yeah...sure." Tomas sweated as he looked at
her. He could tell that there would be problems with her. <Well,
there's no way I can deal with her now. I better find out what I
can of the other one.> He took a good look at the other girl.
Her long blue hair was done up in two pony tails that flowed down
her back. Her eyes caught his attention. He had never seen a
shade quite that color before. <Man, if she was only older. Oh,
well, might as well make a friend.> "And you are?"

"I'm Sasami. And this is Ryo-ohki."

"Miya!"

Hearing this, one of Tomas's eyebrows went up. "What
kind of cat is that? It looks more like a rabbit."

"Ryo-ohki's a cabbit, and she's my best friend!"

<Hmmm... never heard of a cabbit before. Wonder where
they come from. And those eyes of hers, why do they seem so
lonely?> Tomas recalled what she had said and the thought struck
him. <Of course, she said that fluff ball on her head is her
best friend.> "I take it there aren't that many kids your age up
here, huh."

"No. Only the Masaki family lives up here." Tomas could
see that she was starting to get depresses and tried to find a
way to stop it.

"Well, Sasami, uh, how would you like to be my friend?"

"You mean it?"

"Yeah. I don't have many friends either, so I'm always
looking for new ones. In fact, Ranma is the only true friend
I've got right now. Although Rei seems like she could become
one."

Washu was smiling at the touching scene. Not because of
how emotional it was, but if he became Sasami's friend, then he
would be around more. If he was around more, she could do more
tests! At the mention of Ranma, however, a frown crossed her
face. She quickly decided that it would be in the best interest
to let Tomas know what had happened. "Speaking of which, you did
get the part about Ranma missing, right?"

Tomas blinked twice and then exploaded. "What the hell
do you mean he's missing!? Where is he!?"

"We don't know. She went to take a bath and when Aeka
went to join her, she was gone. There was a black hair boy
instead. Aeka knocked him out." The releaf that crossed Tomas's
face took Washu by surprise. She mentally chalked it up to the
fact that they caught the pervert. "Ryouko and Kiyone are waiting
for him to wake up so they can question him." For some strange
reason a breeze blew her hair. "Do you know anyone who could
have kidnapped her?" She looked up from the display she was
going over to see that only her, Sasami, and Ryo-ohki were in the
lab. The door was wide open leading into the Masaki home.

******************************************************************

Ranma's eyes slowly opened. He was on his back and his
body was racked with pain. He groined as he pushed himself into
a sitting position. "Kami-sama, I feel like I was struck by
lightning."

"That's because you were. And if you don't due as we
say, then it will happen again." Ranma turned his head toward
the cold voice. There he saw two young women, around his age,
giving him the worst evil eye he had ever seen. His mind caught
up to his eyes and relief flooded through him. He knew he wasn't
in trouble now.

"Ryouko, am I glad to see you! What happened to the
psycho with the logs? She's not going to fry me again, is she?"
Ranma kept up his babbling for another few minuets before Ryouko
cut him off.

"How the hell do you know me? I've never seen you before
in my life until Aeka dragged you in here. Although your
perceptions on her are pretty accurate."

"What do you mean that you've never seen me before? Its
me, Ranma. The guy you talked to at the lake and faught beside
you in the woods. Don't tell me you for got."

Kiyone took this moment to speak up. "I don't think so.
Ranma's got red hair and is a girl..."

"HEY, I AM A GUY!!!"

Kiyone just ignored him and kept going. "Since you are
most defenately male, that or you're the flattest girl I have
ever seen..."

"I TOLD YOU I AM A GUY!"

"Which is why you are not Ranma."

"I am Ranma, and I am a GUY! It's a curse, okay. You
hit me with cold water and I turn into a red hair girl. Get me a
glass of water and I'll prove it to you."

Before Ryouko could reply to how stupid a lie that was,
the door burst open and Tomas, still in the sheet from Washu's
lab, rushed in. He looked around the room, saw Ranma all right,
and collapsed. "Thank the Kami your alright. I was afraid that
they would skin you before you could explain the curse. You are
okay, right Ranma?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, but how about you? You don't look to
good."

"Just really low in my ki levels. Give me a good day's
rest, and a good meal or two, and I'll be fine."

Ryouko looked from one to the other a few times before
the sight finally got to her. "You mean that he" she pointed to
Ranma "really is Ranma, and that the business about a curse was
real!?"

"Well, yeah, didn't he tell you already?" He turned and
gave Ranma a despairing look. "I know you hate telling people
about your curse, but do you want to be in the same mess as last
time? From what you told me the exact same thing happened."

"Sorry, but this time I did remember to put up the
occupied sign. That should count for something. It does,
doesn't it?" Tomas simply grasped his head in his hands and
groined.
******************************************************************

Next: The true meeting between the Masaki Household and Ranma
and Tomas. What will be the reactions to the different chaos in
each others lives? Will Ryo-ohki activate the Neko-ken? And
we'll see how the inner Senshi feel about all that has happened
in the past forty-eight hours.

Chapter 5: Dissent and Aggravation

A rarity was taking place on the dawn of this
new morning. All of the Senshi were gathered
together, even the elusive Setsuna. It was only five
hours since the Inner Senshi returned from the
disastrous fight in the woods against Ranma, Tomas,
and their allies. School was canceled do to damage
caused from the fight against the youma. Each
Senshi was relaxing in Rei's temple, doing what they
will.

Makoto was in the kitchen cooking up a fury
of breakfast for them all. Rei was in front of the
sacred fire striving to learn something new about
Tomas and Ranma. She was confused at how they could
save Minako one moment and attack the Outer Senshi
the next. The golden hair girl herself was currently
sleeping on the couch, her white feline guardian
curled up on the floor next to her. Ami was sitting
at the kitchen table with Hotaru, helping her with
her algebra homework. Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna
were trying to come up with a plan to get revenge on
the two martial artists who defeated them the day
before. Usagi, leader of the famed Sailor Senshi,
was busy reading all of Rei's manga.

"Breakfast is ready everyone!" Makoto
finished laying out the food on the table. Usagi
dropped the manga and dashed toward the table.
Everyone else moved at a more normal pace.

After everyone was seated and started eating, Luna
started the conversation that this meeting was called
for. "Sailor Pluto, why did you confront those two
young men? What reason did they have to attack you?"

Setsuana thought back to what she had seen in the
time stream. She shuddered slightly at the
remembrance. "Those two are surrounded by chaos.
The time stream is bending and flexing at every
single move they make. Uranus, Neptune, and I went
to find out whether they were dangerous or not to the
future. From their actions it is safe to assume
that they are."

"I don't believe that! The two of them saved my
life! There is no way that they could be bad!"

Pluto gazed sternly at Minako. She couldn't believe
how naive Venus was. The two boys had injured their
princess. There was no excuse for that. They were
enemies, by their own actions, and had to be dealt
with. But before Pluto could express her thoughts
on the subject, Rei spoke up.

"Mina-chan, I had a bad feeling about the two of
them the moment I saw them. There is something wrong
with them. They may not be as bad as the Negaverse
or Black Moon Family, but they are our enemies. We
can't let them wonder around the city, destroying
the time stream and the future we're trying to bring
about."

Setsuana took her turn once more. "Venus, these
people are dangerous. They have attacked and injured
us. We can not risk them totally destroying the time
stream that needs to be formed."

Minako looked very upset. Her normally shining blue
eyes were dark. She looked around at her friends for
any sort of support. The closest she found were
Hotaru's eyes, which looked deeply troubled. All of
the others had grim looks to them. Even Usagi was
serious. She closed her eyes and came to a decision.
Minako stood up and looked over her friends and fellow
Senshi once more. "Fighting against youma is one
thing, but fighting against other people, who could
be completely innocent, is something else entirely.
I will not fight this battle." She turned around and
walked out the door.

The other Senshi and the moon cats stared at her in
shock as she walked away.
********************************************************

The Masaki home shook with the sound of
explosions. Fearing that the demented girls in
sailor suits were back, the normal residence of the
Masaki household raced out side. What they saw was
so different from what they had expected that they
were too stunned to move. All except Sasami, who
decided to go start breakfast after seeing that they
weren't trying to kill each other.

Tomas and Ranma were sparring again. This
time, however, they weren't holding back. Flames
tore from the ground, yellow balls of Chi slammed
into trees, giant balls of fire dropped from the sky,
and miniature tornado's devastated the ground. It
seemed for all intents and purposes that they were
trying to kill each other to anyone who wasn't paying
close attention. The only thing that kept anyone
from interfering was the conversation that the two
were having as they fought.

"I see that you finally figured out to
control the Meteor Strike, Tomas. That would have
been useful yesterday, huh."

"So would have your Twister Blade, Ranma.
Practice with it a few more times and you should
have it down, no problem."

"Yeah, I know. What can I say, though, I am
the best! FLAMING CHI WAVE!" An arc of golden chi
flew from Ranma's sweeping hands.

Tomas threw up a shield built from mystic
flames as he realized that he couldn't dodge the
attack in time. Even as he let the shield fall, he
saw that the attack was only a diversion. Ranma was
inside his defenses before he could blink.

"KATCHU TENSHIN ARMA..."

"Breakfast is ready everyone!" Sasami didn't
notice, but she had just saved Tomas from some rather
painful bruises.

Everyone in the extended Masaki family was
surprised to see the fight instantly stop. They were
also surprised to see both Tomas and Ranma jump over
them and race into the house.

Inside the house, Ranma, Tomas, and Sasami
were sitting at the table waiting for the others to
arrive. A giant breakfast was spread out on the
table before them. Tenchi noticed, as he came in,
that Sasami was seated next to Tomas, and that the
two of them were having a deep conversation.

"So, Sasami-chan, what do you say? How does
that sound?'

"I'd like that Tomas-oniisan. What do you
think, Ryo-ohki?"

"Miya!"

It was at this point that Tenchi and the
others (including Tomas) first witnessed the Saotome
School of Anything Goes Ceiling Clinging Technique.
It was also at this point that the Masaki family
learned of Ranma's fear of cats.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! C-cc-ccc-cca-CAT!!!"

Ranma had been twitching nervously ever since
he had sat down at the table. It was like a cat was
near him, but he couldn't see one. The only thing
that was close was the strange animal in Sasami's
head. When it had spoke, the fear hit him. He was
on the ceiling without a second thought. Ranma
scrambled to get away, but found himself backed
into a corner. Before Ranma's eyes flashed the
shredding claws, the piercing teeth, and the yowl's
of hundreds of cats. The fear grew in him. He
could feel his sanity slowly drifting away. He
fought to keep it, to push back the Neko-Ken. After
all, a man wasn't afraid of cats. Darkness started
to overcome him. He pushed harder and started to
form mental walls to protect himself. It was at that
moment, right as he felt he was winning, that
Ryo-ohki spoke once more, and pushed him over the
edge.

Ranma-neko landed on the ground.

Tomas, in the meantime, had been trying to
get Ryo-ohki out of the room. "Look, she's
activating the Neko-Ken! Just have her leave the
room for a bit!"

Aeka was angry. <How dare this boy order my
sister around in such a manner!> "How dare you talk
to my sister like that! Who do you think you are?!"

"I'm someone who's trying to keep his friend
SANE! This is the Neko-Ken we're talking about!
It's driving him crazy! Just get the fur ball out
of hear! I don't want to deal with this again!"

Ryo-ohki, who had been listening to the
argument while trying to decide what to do, objected
loudly to being called a fur ball. This caused
Ranma to drop from the ceiling. Mayuka walked up
to Ranma-neko, who was busy cleaning himself. She
smiled and threw her arms around his neck and smiled.
Ranma let out a soft meow.

"Look, Daddy, we've got a pet kitty cat!
Isn't he cute?" She started to scratch Ranma-neko
down the spine. Everyone but Tomas and Mayuka was
shocked when Ranma-neko started to purr. "He likes
me, daddy! Can I keep him? Please?"

Tenchi could only stare at his cousin. Ranma
was currently rubbing his head against Mayuka's leg
and purring quite loudly. He stared at the two for
some time until he turned to Tomas.
"How...huh...ahhh...what...I mean...um...why's...a..
Ranma..ah.."

"Tomas sighed and shook his head. "He'll
never live this one down." All of a sudden,
Ranma-neko lept from Mayuka's side landing on the
table. He then proceeded to devour Tomas's
breakfast. Tomas's eyes narrowed in anger. He
moved from where he was by Aeka and Sasami to in
front of Ranma-neko. "What do you think you're
doing! That's MY food! Go eat your own!"
Ranma-neko simply drew back one of his "paws" in
response. Tomas quickly backed down from the
confrontation.

Ryouko looked at Tomas and grinned. "Don't
tell me you're afraid of that little display.
There's no way he could even be a decent challenge
like that."

"I once saw him create a six foot crater in
the middle of a concrete road, and then shred a four
inch steel door like paper while in this state. I
don't want to know what he can do to a human body."

Mayuka, in the mean time, had moved to sit
in Tomas's chair and started to scratch Ranma-neko
again. Ranma-neko had finished both Tomas's and
Sasami's breakfasts, and was finally working on his
own. Everyone watched in fascination as he inhaled
vast quantities in only a few minuets. Ranma-neko
then went over to Mayuka and laid down in her lap.

"No one disturb him!" Tomas felt relief
flood his body. He knew that everything would be
fine. There was someone who could calm Ranma from
the Neko-ken. "Just let Ranma sleep. When he wakes
up he'll be back to normal."

Sasami looked at Tomas and walked over to
him. "Tomas-oniisan, what happened to him?"

"The truth, Sasami, I don't know. All that
Ranma told me was that his father put him through
the Neko-ken training without reading the warnings.
It left him with an intense fear of cats. When the
fear gets too great, he starts to act like a cat to
escape it. The fear is so deeply integrated in him
that it can't be cured." The extended Masaki family
looked upon Ranma compassionately. Tomas looked at
the table and sighed. <Great. He devoured my food,
and I'm hungry. Guess I'll just have to go out for
breakfast.> "The only thing we can do is let him
sleep. In the mean time, however, I'm hungry and he
ate my breakfast. I'm going to head into the city
and eat. I also want to stop at home and let Ranma's
mother know what happened and where we are. Sasami,
do you want to come with me? We can do that shopping
we were talking about earlier on the way home."

"Okay, Tomas-oniisan. I'll go get ready."

Tomas smiled at her. "No rush, I've go to
take a quick shower first. Give me a half-hour."

"I'll be ready."
***********************************************************

Hotaru pushed herself back against a brick
wall. She was breathing deeply after what for her
was a long run. The fear that reflected in her eyes
was like that of a deer faced with a pack of wolves.
She knew that she had made a wrong turn, but there
was nothing she could "Well, now, you witch. We're
going to be dealing with you once and for all.
You'll never be a threat to us again." Hotaru closed
her eyes and waited for the end to come.
***********************************************************

Ranma slowly came back into the land of the
living. The first thing he noticed was that he was
curled up in a tight ball. The second thing he
noticed was a cat sitting in front of his face.
<A cat??? A CAT!!!!!> "AHHHH!!! CAAAAT!!!" He
once more sprang to the ceiling and held on for dear
life. Moving quickly, Ranma headed toward the door
while repeating 'cat' for all he was worth. He
reached the door and dropped, so that he could race
out, only to land on Aeka, who was racing to find
out what the scream was.

Aeka couldn't believe it. Once more Tenchi's
cousin had performed a perverted act on her. Her
first assumption of him was right! He had to have
been waiting for her to walk into the baths for the
sole purpose of peeping on her. Now he was faking
fright so that he would get the chance to glomp her.
She could deal with him, though. "PERVERT!" Once
again she electrocuted Ranma. <Maybe this time he
will learn his lesson!>

Tenchi raced into the room as Ryouko phased
through the wall. Tenchi quickly took in the scene
and turned toward the Jurian Princess. "Aeka what
happened here? I heard Ranma scream and then you.
Is everything all right?"

"Oh, Lord Tenchi, I'm so glad you're here.
Your cousin tried to grab me! I hope he learned his
lesson this time. I don't want him doing that
again!"

Tenchi looked down at his fried cousin, at
the fuming Aeka, and at his daughter Mayuka, who was
busy giggling. He decided that he could best find
out what happened by talking to his daughter.
"Mayuka, what happened to Ranma? He was sound
asleep."

"Well, daddy, I was scratching him on his
head when he screamed cat. He crawled across the
ceiling again only to fall off and land on Aeka.
Then Aeka screamed something and shot him with
lightning. Then you came."

Tenchi sighed at what happened. Yet another
misunderstanding between Aeka and Ranma. Tenchi
began to get a feeling that this sort of thing was
common to his cousin. "Well, Aeka, next time find
out what is happening before you hurt Ranma. I'll
take him upstairs and put him in bed. I'm sure that
he will apologize when he wakes up." Tenchi picked
his cousin up and carried him up the stairs.

Ryouko turned to Aeka who was still trying
to decide whether Ranma was a pervert or not and
spoke. "So, Princess, are you planning on killing
him for accidents or just sending him into intensive
care?"

"How dare you say such a thing demon! I'll
have you know..." And so, yet another fight between
pirate and princess got underway.
**********************************************************

The sound of bones breaking caused Hotaru to
wince. She realized that she wasn't in any pain
from it. The sounds of bones breaking continued, and
moans of pain raised into the air. It was at the
scared screams and sound of running feet that Hotaru
came to the conclusion that the boys chasing her had
left. She slowly opened her eyes to see how bad she
was hurt, only to find herself looking into some of
the deepest blue eyes that she had ever seen.
**********************************************************

"Well, Sasami, what do you think of Ranma's mother?"

"I like her, Tomas-oniisan. She reminds me of my
mother in some ways. And she had all of those
wonderful recipes to give me! I can't wait to get
home and try them."

The two were walking through a park in the Juuban
district. They had left Ranma's home a short while
ago, with Tomas carrying a large backpack that
contained some spare clothes for himself and Ranma,
and three books of recipes for Sasami. Nodoka had
taken an immediate liking to the young alien
princess. She was also happy to hear that her father
had excepted Ranma even with all of his problems.
She made them promise that they would let her father
know that she wanted to see him. They were currently
on their way to the store so they could pick up some
groceries for the night's dinner. Tomas looked down
at Sasami and smiled.

"You know something, Sasa... oh great. Just
what I needed."

Sasami looked up at Tomas, who had suddenly
become all serious. "What is it? Is their something
wrong?"

Tomas pointed down the path toward an alley
between a couple of park buildings. Sasami saw a
few boys run into the alley. "It looks, Sasami,
like a gang just chased a girl into that alley. You
wait here, I'm going to go take care of them. I hate
people who go after girls." Tomas put down the
backpack and sprinted toward the alley at top speed,
leaving a slightly surprised Sasami watching him.

Tomas raced toward the alley with the intent
to do serious harm to the punks that where chasing
the girl. Just as he entered he saw on of them
raise a baseball bat to smash into her head. Tomas
acted first and thought later. He jumped into the
air and let a flying kick right into the bat
wielder's arm, breaking it above the elbow. Tomas
spun from where he landed and drove his fist into the
mans ribs, breaking two of them. His third blow was
an elbow smash to the head, knocking the punk into a
forced sleep, incidentally shattering his jaw in the
process. A side-kick slammed the next boy into one
of the walls, taking him how of the fight. Tomas
then dropped to one knee and rammed his fist into a
third's hip, causing a fracture. The boy dropped to
the ground screaming in pain. The fourth fell as
Tomas sprang from his one knee crouch to deliver an
uppercut that dropped the kid like lead. The last
two kids saw the injuries inflicted upon their
friends and ran from the alley screaming like the
devil himself was after them. Tomas thought about
blocking their escape with a Phoenix Fire Wall (and
confirming that devil idea), but decided that they
had probably learned their lesson and let them go.
<Besides, the girl is more important. I had better
check up on her.>

Tomas turned to the girl. <Damn, she's cute.
Oh, well, this is no time to put the moves on a girl.>
He looked at her and noticed her eyes where closed.
<Shit, is she okay? If those bastards hurt her, I'll
make them wish I had killed them instead.> He knelt
down in front of her and leaned forward to check her
breathing. At that moment her eyes opened up. <Wow,
I have never seen violet eyes before. They're as
uncommon as Sasami's. Oop's, I'd better say
something, she's giving me a real funny look.>
"Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, did they?"
Tomas pulled himself back from Hotaru and looked at
her with concerned eyes. She didn't seem to be hurt,
just scared. "I'm not going to hurt you, so relax.
I saw those punks chasing you and came to help."

Hotaru looked at Tomas with eyes filled with
awe. She was having a hard time coming to grips with
the fact that this total stranger came out of no where
to save her. "I-I'm okay. Thank..." At that point
she caught sight of the damage that Tomas had done
to the boys that where chasing her.

Tomas saw what she was gazing at and realized
that she had hid from the entire fight. "Guess I
went a little overboard, but I don't like it when a
gang goes after a cute girl like that." <What am I
saying? I shouldn't be hitting on her in a scene
like this. What would... uh oh, I forgot.> Tomas
gently helped her to her feet. "Come on, a friend of
mine is waiting for me to get back. I don't want to
keep her waiting." Tomas led her out of the alley
and to the tree that Sasami was waiting for him at.

"Tomas-oniisan, are you okay?" Sasami asked
in a concerned voice. A few moments after she
watched Tomas enter the alley a pair of screaming
young men ran out and took off. She had been worried
until he had led a young girl out of the alley and
approached her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Sasami. Those guys had
less than no training. It wasn't even interesting.
Anyway this is... Uh, we never did make
introductions." Tomas looked at Hotaru and smiled.
"I'm Tomas Megerson, and this is Sasami Masaki, my
best friend's cousin."

Hotaru fought to keep the surprise off her
face when she heard that name. It was the same one
that Rei-san had given for one of the two boys that
attacked her guardians. The clothes that he was
wearing were similar, too. Unfortunately, both Tomas
and Sasami noticed that look on her face.

"What's wrong. You look like you've just
seen a ghost or something." Tomas started to get a
funny feeling about her. It was hitting him in that
point of his brain that said something was just not
right. He looked at her closely. She didn't remind
him of any one he knew, nor did she look like any of
the fiancees that Ranma had mentioned.

"I'm just surprised that someone so famous
would rescue me." Hotaru was thinking fast. She
knew that the fight between Tomas, the other boy,
and the youma had be covered by the news. She
decided that the best line of approach would be to
act like a normal girl would, and sort out all of
the conflicts inside of her later.

"What do you mean, famous? I don't recall
doing anything news worthy? What are you talking
about?"

"You didn't know? You and your friends'
names were all over the news last night. How two
high school students managed to defeat a youma by
themselves before the Sailor Senshi could arrive.
Didn't you see it?" Hotaru hoped that they would
buy it. It was the only thing she could come up with.

"Actually, no, I missed it. While Ranma, my
friend, was dragging me to the hospital, these three
psychos in really short skirts decided to jump us.
Never did find out why they attacked us out of the
blue like that. The fact that they called us demons
didn't help matters either. Then another group of
them showed up and started to chase us through out
the city. Let me tell you, it wasn't fun. Oh, by
the way, what's your name?"

"Hotaru."

"Well, come on, Hotaru, we'll walk you home so you
don't have any repeat encounters." Tomas picked up
and shouldered his backpack again. "Lead the way."

As the three of them walked toward Hotaru's
home they engaged in small talk. Hotaru's mind
wasn't really on the conversation, however. She was
trying to come up with how this person could be the
same one who had attacked her guardians. Not only
had this Tomas saved her, but he was out in the open
with a girl who was younger than herself. No one
who had incurred the wrath of the Sailor Senshi would
be so bold as to walk in the open with an innocent
girl, especially if that person had already shown to
care for those who weren't Senshi. Hotaru was
confused. If he had attacked the Senshi first,
wouldn't he be taking precautions not to be caught
out in the open by them like this? Was he really
that brave, or did he not care? Perhaps Minako was
right, And this was all a misunderstanding.

By the time Hotaru got through asking herself
all of these questions, she found herself in front of
her home. Saying goodbye to the two of them she
headed inside to try to sort through the questions
she had come up with.
**********************************************************

Ranma slowly opened his eyes. He looked
around the room and noticed Tomas sitting in a chair
grinning at him. As Ranma recalled what had happened
to him he buried his head in his hands. "Why me?
Why does this stuff always happen to me. It is
turning out to being like it was back at the Tendo's."

Tomas continued to smile. "If you look back,
the whole problem started with your father. If he
had never trained you in the Neko-ken, this wouldn't
have happened. Of course, if your father wasn't an
idiot, then you would have never had any problems to
begin with."

Ranma looked and was forced to agree. "So
what am I going to do now? Aeka probably wants to
kill me right now."

"She doesn't. Mayuka explained that you were
trying to get away from Ryo-Ohki because she was
activating the Neko-Ken. She understands. I suggest
that you stay off the ceiling for now, though. We
can worry about it later. Come on, dinner's ready.
I'll tell you about my adventure later."

"What adventure?"

"I said I'll explain later. Oh, and we're
going home tomorrow night. We got class on Monday,
and your mother is making us go." Ranma sighed as
the two headed down the stairs toward the waiting
meal.
*************************************************************

Minako laid on her bed thinking about
everything that had happened to her. Her friends
were changing in a way that she didn't like. She
saw it in their eyes that morning. They were all
willing to go and kill <yes I've got to think kill>
two boys who had made no out right threatening
gestures to them. <Even if what Setsuna said is
true, they probably expected to be attacked. They
were just defending themselves, right. Until they
prove that they are a threat to the scouts, I will
NOT fight them again. One time is enough. I owe
them that much for saving my life.>

Author's Notes: Well, it's finally out. I had a bad
case of writer's block early on, and that slowed me
down. I hope it's worth it. Hopefully chapter six
won't take so long. Let me know what you think of
the story so far.do about it. The gang that had
been chasing her since she took a walk in the park
drew in for the kill.

Chapter 6:
Betrayal and History

Ranma and Tomas walked along the fence as they headed
toward school. The sun was rising in the east as a few wisps
of clouds that hung in the air floated by. Once more the air
was crisp and dew was drawn upon the grass. The sky itself was
a merging of pinks, reds, oranges, and grays. As they walked
along, the two young men were in conversation.

"So, Ranma, what do you think of your cousin? You can
really see a family resemblance. And not just in looks."
Tomas tossed Ranma a wryly smile.

Ranma sighed as he thought back to the past. It was
only a year ago that he had been in a very similar situation as
Tenchi. With four fiancees trying to snare him (well, two
fiancees trying to snare him, one psycho trying to catch him,
and the fourth just beating him up.) If the three who were
left found him he would loose what precious little peace he
had. <Yeah, very little, what with those girls who chased us.>
"You know, I'd really like to help him out. I can't stand
thinking that there is some else out there with almost the same
problem that I had."

"I wouldn't worry about him too much. He actually has
it a lot easier than you did. I was talking to Aeka about it.
She told me that if Tenchi does become the Emperor of Jurai,
then he has to take two wives. That gives him a bit more
freedom than you ever had."

Ranma looked at Tomas with his eyes wide. "What are
you nuts? What happens if the two he chooses don't get along.
He'll never hear the end of it. He'd just get caught in the
middle of their fights like he does right now."

Tomas blinked a few times before he yanked Ranma off
of the fence and pushed him against a wall. "Alright, who are
you?! The real Ranma never would have come up with that!
Answer me!"

Ranma pushed against Tomas's arms trying to get them
off. "Hey, It's just that I've thought about this before. I
wondered what would happen if I could have married two of the
girls. It would have been messy." Tomas had released him
and the two were once more on the fence heading for school.
They continued their idle conversation until they entered the
school grounds.

It was like a thunderstorm. All of a sudden the
majority of the school population surrounded the two martial
artists. Questions bombarded them from all sides. There were
a lot of people asking how they had managed to defeat the
youma. A number of the boys were asking if they could be
taught. Most of the girls were asking for dates. Ranma was
asking why stuff like this always happened to him.

Tomas was trying to answer the questions. They could
defeat the youma because they had been training to fight for
many years. No, they couldn't teach anyone because it takes
to long and it is too dangerous. While he wouldn't mind a
date, this was not the time to ask for one. An finally,
"Ranma, this always happens to you because the Kami hate you
and because you're father constantly messed up your life."

"Yeah, I know. I hope things get better, though."
The late bell chose that moment to ring and the reluctant
crowed moved away from the two and started toward class.
Ranma sighed and glanced at the clock. "We better go as
well." The two followed the crowd into the building for the
start of another boring day.

***
It was lunch-time and the Sailor Senshi were sharing
their usual tree. They were in the middle of a discussion
concerning a certain pair of martial artists. Said martial
artists were currently on the other side of the grounds
surround once more by people who wanted to know just what they
had done and were they went after the battle.

After watching the crowed for a moment Makoto sighed.
"Look at them, not a care in the world. Do you think that
they are even scared of us? That they are worried we could
show up at any time?"

Rei gave her a disgusted look. "Of course they aren't.
If they were they sure wouldn't be here, now would they. And
why should they be? The two of them took out three of us while
severally injured. Do you think we could pose a challenge for
them when they are fully healed?"

Usa tried to look cheerful. "Well, they haven't done
anything wrong except for attacking us. Maybe it's just that
they were hurt and didn't recognize us. That could be it you
know."

Even Ami looked skeptical at this. "Usagi, we've been
in the news for almost three years now. Surely they've heard
of us. There is even merchandise in the stores that they
could have seen. Surely they knew who we were." Usagi's face
got downcast rather quickly after that. It got worse when the
Outer Senshi decided to show up, in full uniform and sprouting
speeches on why Tomas and Ranma were demons not to be trusted.
Usagi got even more worried when Tomas screamed something about
the psycho chicks that were trying to kill them last week.
Then everything was shot to hell when Ranma mentioned clearly
enough for everyone to hear how Uranus had such a flat chest
that he was surprised that she was a girl and not a boy.
Suffice to say a fight started very quickly after that.

***
Ranma threw Neptune right at Tomas who hit her with a
powerful round house kick that sent her at Pluto. The Senshi
of Time jumped out of the way in time to dodge Neptune's flying
form, but found herself right in the way of Uranus's World
Shaking attack. Before she could dodge out of the way Tomas
boxed her in by sending a pair of fireballs at each side of her.
Her partner's attack nailed her right in the chest sending her
toward where Tomas used to be. He was currently standing next
to Ranma discussing what they should do.

"I vote we get out of here. Sure, we're kicking their
butts, but remember that there are at least five more somewhere.
We could get swamped over very quickly if this doesn't end soon."

"Sure we can leave, but what then. They'll just chase
us like last time." Ranma turned toward Tomas with an annoyed
look on his face. "And besides, where would we go? We sure
can't lead them back home. Mom would never be able to defend
herself against them. Do we head to Tenchi's? I think he
would be pretty annoyed at the fact that we keep coming by when
ever we're attacked. So what's the plan?"

Tomas looked at Ranma for a few moments debating what
they should do. Too bad that Pluto's magical attack is
whispered since neither one of them could hear her say it.
The fact that neither could sense magic didn't help matters
either. The Dead Scream slammed into them like a pick up
truck. A cloud of dirt and dust shot into the air along with
screams from the two martial artists.

Uranus and Neptune pulled themselves up from their
respective holes as Pluto gave a slight smile. A twitch of
the lips was all, but for her it was a smile. "They are finished.
The future is secure." It was then that a form came out of the
dust cloud.

Ranma looked around for a few moments, taking in the entire
scene. The three Senshi who attacked them were together. None of
the others had shown up, and the school grounds were pretty much
disserted. Slowly, he lowered Tomas's bloody body to the ground.
Because of how they had been standing, Tomas had taken more of the
magical attack then Ranma. Ranma stood back up and looked grimly
at the three Senshi. "You've just made the biggest mistake you
could." The anger washed over him like an ice-cold glacier. He
didn't care any more. "I'm not going to hold back anymore."
Ranma's innocence had finally left him. He had come to the most
difficult decision he could. He was going into a fight with the
intent to kill. "You're nothing compared to me. I've torn a God
apart before! Now its you're turn!" His last words were with
biting rage.

He gave them no warning. One moment he was standing by
his fallen friend, shaking with anger. The next moment he was on
them, glowing bright blue and releasing devastating attacks. As
he fought he made no sound. Uranus took a pair of Tenshin
Armagurikans followed by a Mouko Takabisha as she flew backward.
Spinning, Ranma jumped over Neptune's Deep Submerge and launched
his Flaming Chi Wave. As soon as he landed he released a pair of
Twister Blades that slammed into her chest. He smiled as he
clearly heard breaking bones and the Senshi cry out in pain. Then
he turned to face Pluto.

The Senshi of Time was taken aback at the violence that
had just been displayed. She had never realized just what Ranma
was capable of. She had never come across anyone with the type
of power that he was radiating. And then he was on her.

Ranma enhanced his punches with his Ki and unleashed the
Tenshin Armagurikan straight into her solar plex. That was
followed by a crescent kick that sent Pluto flying into the wall
that surrounded the school. Ranma raised both his hands and
pointed into the wreckage that Pluto's body had caused. "DUEL
MOUKO TAKABISHA!" A pair of golden blasts leapt from his out
stretched hands and slammed into the rubble causing a tremendous
explosion. Once more Ranma took to the air, this time dodging one
of Uranus's World Shaking attacks. He watched as she drew her
space sword. Landing near the still downed Neptune, Ranma grabbed
her and hurled her towards her companion. Uranus, who had started
to charge forward, was caught by surprise and had to drop her sword
to catch the now flying Senshi. Then Ranma was in front of her once
more. Before she could react he slammed his fist into the ground
causing a virtual explosion of Ki to erupt underneath the pair.

Ranma gazed around the schoolyard. Out of those who had been
involved in the battle he was the only one still standing. Mass
amounts of damage covered the grounds as the majority of attacks
used had caused area damage. Feeling drained from the massive
amounts of Ki he had used, Ranma slowly made his way to Tomas's
still body. He bent down to pick up his friend when new voices
came on the scene.

"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"

He barely had the time to grab the slowly breathing form of
his friend and jump away before the ground he had been standing on
was fried to a crisp.

Looking up as he landed, Ranma saw four more of the
sailor-suited warriors of love and justice. He was rather proud
that he hadn't let the sigh he felt coming on be heard. Things had
been bad after Tomas had bee injured, but now they were desperate.
Ranma had spent a lot of his Ki in enhancing his body to take out
the first three Senshi to show. Ranma gritted his teeth and
prepared to fight.

There was a flash of light, an explosion, and the Senshi
started their traditional dodge and panic routine. Ranma looked
over his shoulder to see a familiar figure. It was the figure of
a space pirate called Ryouko. She was in her red and black armor
and launched another ball of energy at the Senshi. Ranma blinked
as she disappeared only to reappear right next to him. "Are you
okay, Ranma?" He slowly nodded. She smiled and turned to the
Senshi as they began to regroup. Her eyes flickered once at the
still body of Tomas and it was her turn to shake her head. "How
does he manage to get injured that much?" she wondered aloud. If
she had been paying more attention to the Senshi, she would have
noticed that Jupiter had started to use one of her more powerful
attacks while she was off to the side.

It was at this point that things started to get confusing.
Jupiter launched a Thunder Dragon, Venus (who hadn't been there
before) countered it with her Crescent Beam, Ranma launched a pair
of his Twister Blades at Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars, and Ryo-Ohki
finally appeared above the battle and dropped in Tenchi, Aeka, and
the Galaxy Police. The action that stopped everything was Venus
showing up. The problem was that she was wearing her old Sailor V
mask. Usagi blinked a couple of times, got hit by the Twister
Blade that was shot at her, and was slammed into the wall
unconscious. The same happened to Mars.

As it stood only Jupiter stood as a Sailor Senshi, While
Sailor V was across from her giving her a cold look. This was
enough to shock Jupiter into listening to her instead of speaking.

"I will no longer be part of the Sailor Senshi, Jupiter.
You've all turned what was originally a fight to protect this world
into a battle over pride." She pointed at the downed Outers.
"They started this mess by making a mistake, and they refused to
correct it. Instead they chose to eliminate it. I will not
standby and watch the Senshi kill humans. From this moment on let
the world know Sailor Venus is dead. I am once again Sailor V and
I will fight for what I believe in."

Everyone on the property had heard her speech. Even a news
crew that had shown up in time to film some of the fight caught it
all. The questions were in the air of the city now. Were the
Sailor Senshi still the good guys? Were the two boys they had
attacked really evil? And what about the people who had showed up
to aid them?

Ranma, however had a different question, this one for Ryouko.
"Can Ryo-Ohki get us out of here?"

"Yeah, no problem."

"Good. Do it, and bring her, too." Ranma pointed at the
now Sailor V. Ryouko decided that it would be best not to argue
for once and had Ryo-Ohki bring them all aboard. The cabbit then
headed for the stars.

***

Ranma looked at Tomas and sighed. "I'm supposed to be the
hero here. Why are you always the one to get injured?"

Tomas, wrapped in bandages and stretched out on a bed in a
guestroom just shrugged as he struggled to sit up. "Just lucky, I
guess. So how did we get back here, anyway? Last thing I remember
we were trying to decide to fight or run."

"Well, I took care of those first three, but then four more
showed up. That's when things got confusing."

"How so?"

"Well, first Tenchi and the others showed up, then one of the
Senshi decided to join our side since she feels that we're innocent
here. I managed to knock out another two of the Senshi and then
Ryo-Ohki transported us back here. You remember how they told us
she turns into a spaceship, right? Let me tell you something, I
almost dropped back into the Neko-Ken while I was on her. Being
surrounded b a meowing spaceship didn't do anything for my nerves."

Tomas laughed quietly at the thought of Ranma being trapped
in a spaceship that was meowing. "I'm not surprised. Still it
could have been worse, you could have actually gone into the
Neko-Ken."

Ranma shook his head as he looked at his friend. "Well, you
take it easy. I'm going downstairs. I want to find out more about
the blonde Senshi." Tomas nodded and closed his eyes. Ranma
sighed and headed out the door, making sure to close it before
heading down the stairs.

He walked into a kitchen filled with tension. His eyes went
around the room making sure that everyone who should be there was.
The only noticeable absence was Washu. Ranma quietly left the
kitchen not saying a thing as no one had noticed him. As he slowly
approached the broom closet where everyone said Washu had set up her
lab, his danger sense began to kick in. Being that he was in a
house with some of the most powerful people, some of which didn't
get along with one another, he chalked it up to another fight
starting. This place was almost as bad as the Tendo Dojo had been.
In fact, the only reason it wasn't worse was that Tenchi knew how to
defuse the situations sometimes. Whenever Ranma tried to get
involved he just made everything worse.

He knocked on the door and was surprised when Washu's face
appeared on it. "Come in." Ranma slowly opened the door and
stepped through. He stopped in shock at what he saw. While he had
been told that Washu's lab was something different, this was not
what he had expected. Washu was sitting on a pillow that was
suspended in the air. The area around her seemed more like a wild
life preserve then a laboratory. In front of her were numerous
transparent screens showing some type of readouts that Ranma could
never hope to identify. He approached Washu and waited quietly for
her to turn around. It really wasn't his choice to stay quiet, he
tried to talk, but nothing came out.

Finally, Washu turned around to face the silenced martial
artist. "Ah, Ranma, just the person I need to talk to. I've got a
question about your friend."

Ranma was rather thankful that he had finally recovered the
ability to speak. "So, Washu-Chan, what do you want to know?"

"Why does he always try to embrace death?"

Ranma's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean embrace
death?"

Washu gave a small sigh. "Well, maybe not embrace it. It's
more like he doesn't seem to care whether he lives or dies. He'll
take either one."

Ranma gazed down at the ground for a while. When he finally
looked back up his eyes were slightly clouded. "Tomas has a rather
painful past. From what he's told me, he doesn't really seem to
care what happens to himself."

"What can you tell me about it?"

"Well, from what he told me, his parents died when he was
twelve or so. They died in some sort of car accident. He didn't
want to go into an orphanage, so he ran away. He didn't have any
living relatives to take him in. Anyway, after a few months of
travel he met a wandering martial artist. Kinda like what me and
Oyaji were doin'. The guy saw the pain in Tomas and took him in,
started to teach him the art to give him some control back in his
life. When Tomas was sixteen or so they parted ways. I never was
told why, but it wasn't that important. Tomas had made himself
quite a bit of money in tournaments and the like while traveling,
and rented an apartment in some small town. You know he's gaijin,
and this was in the US. Well, he went back to school and met this
girl. From what I could gather they were in love. One day she
turned up missing."

"What was her name? I don't think you've mentioned it yet."

"Her name was Maria." Washu and Ranma turned to see Tomas
in the doorway.

Ranma walked over to his friend, who just about collapsed in
his arms. "What are you doing here? You should be in bed."

"I was hungry, but it looked like World War Three was going
on in the kitchen, so I decided to come here. I was hoping you'd
have something I could munch on, Washu-Chan."

"Sorry, Tomas, but I don't keep food in the lab. Well, not
food fit for a human, anyway. I'm sure that the problems in the
kitchen will die down eventually, so why don't you continue the
story that Ranma started?"

Tomas looked down at the ground for a while before he gazed
back up. His eyes were holding a pain long buried. "Well, me and
Maria were in love. I'd probably would have asked her to marry me
one day. Well, I never got the chance. I was at a martial arts
tournament and one of her friends was going to pick her up from
work. Maria wasn't there when she arrived. Her family called the
police and they started to search for her. I was arrested in the
beginning, but her family came with video of the tournament. Since
I never used my locker room I was almost always in the background.
Anyway, after I was released I took up the search for her too. I
was passing a warehouse a couple of days after I had been released
when I caught a bad smell. I went into an ally behind the
warehouse and found what appeared to be a severed arm." Tomas
stopped to draw in a few ragged breaths. Even though he was
telling the story years after it had happened, it was still painful.
"Well, I called the police and waited for tem to show up. Once
they did we started to search inside the building. As we wandered
through we didn't find anything. Eventually I got so mad that I
slammed my fist into a crate. The stench that came out of it was
overpowering." Tomas closed his eyes as he began to shudder. Both
Washu and Ranma could see the pain that he was going through, and
it hurt them both. They were sure that they would not like what he
was about to say. "I opened the crate and there
was Maria. Well, her head anyway. And a hand too. The hand still
had my class ring on, too. It hurt finding her like that.
Kami-Sama, it hurt so much."

By that point tears were streaming down his face unabashedly.
The small clear drops drifted from his eyes to the floor, each one
carrying a little bit of the pain and the memories with it. Washu
floated over to him and gently wrapped her arms about him. Tomas
continued to cry into her shoulder as all of the old pent-up grief
flooded into the open. After what seemed like eternity to him,
Tomas regained enough control to back away from Washu and continue
his story. "That was all that we ever found of her. An arm, a
leg, and her head was all that was left. We practically tore the
building down searching. Well, we found some evidence, made an
arrest and convicted the asshole who did it. After the trial I got
up and left. All that I had left in my life by that point was the
art. I came overseas and met a martial arts master who saw the pain
in my soul. He helped me go from a suicidal inclination to where I
am now. I don't fear death, I just wait for it to happen. That's
the majority of why I am like I am. Hope that helps you
Washu-Chan."

Everyone was silent for a while after that. Only the sounds
that normally permeated Washu's lab were heard. When it seemed
that the silence was just about to reach the point of being
unbearable, Washu walked over to Tomas and put a hand on his
shoulder. "Just remember that you have friends on this side, too,
Tomas. They don't want to loose you."

Tomas smiled. "I know, Washu-Chan, I know. I'm not saying
that I'm going to go looking for death, just that when it comes,
I'm ready to accept it."

***

Usagi just stared blankly into the fire. She was hurting deep
inside and the pain was getting worse. Her mind kept going over
the incident that took place at school a few days before. Her team
was starting to fall apart. Sailor Venus died as she refused to
believe that the two boys were evil. The Outer Senshi refused to
speak to any of the Inners on why they had decided to attack at
school. Setsuna seemed to be getting more and more obsessed with
finding the boys and killing them. She was sure that they posed
some great threat to the future and that Minako's desertion of her
friends was simply the first sign. Pluto had then stepped back to
the Gates of Time and said she would search them out. When the
Senshi tried to contact Minako they found that she had left her
communicator in her house. She wasn't coming back to the Senshi,
everyone knew that now.

Rei was furious with the former Senshi of Love. It was
almost impossible for her to believe that anyone would just up and
desert Usagi like that. Sure she had wanted to get away from her
crybaby leader, but she would never turn over to the enemy.

Ami was thinking over what Makoto had told them. She could
see how Minako would be upset over everything that had happened.
She was the only one beside Minako who could see the fact that
Ranma and Tomas never started the fight. They were always
defending themselves from the restless pursuit of the Senshi. Her
mind was already going over everything that had happened as she
tried to sort her own feelings about the two boys. While she had
never met them, she was becoming more and more sympathetic to them.

Makoto was trying to figure out how everything could have
gone so wrong. The first problem that she knew was that the Senshi
had assumed that the two boys were the bad guys. They never
stopped to see what their side of the story was after they heard
the Outer Senshi's story. The second was that they had tried to
go too far. From what they knew the two guys were human boys, even
if they were incredibly powerful.

Michiru and Haruka simply wanted revenge on the two boys
that had humiliated them in public. It was bad enough that they
got seriously beat into the ground by them, but now people were
questioning whether they were good or not.

Hotaru was questioning the two boys motives. She recalled
how Tomas-san had saved her from the bullies, but also how the two
had seriously injured her parents. She was trying to come up with
a reason for the two totally different situations. She knew from
what Usagi had said that her parents had coming looking for the
two, but also that the two had seemed to egg them into the fight.
She just kept getting more and more confused by what was happening
in the world around her.

***

Minako Aino, a.k.a. Sailor V was currently wondering what the
hell she had gotten herself into. She had thought that the fights
between Rei and Usagi were bad, but they had nothing on Aeka and
Ryouko. There was literally energy flowing between the two of them
as they battled over Tenchi. <Hmmm... maybe I should just leave the
room for a while...> She started to back out of the room only to
bump into someone. "Oh excuse me for..." She trilled off as she
stared at a bare, well muscled chest. She looked up into Tomas's
face with little pink hearts in her eyes.

Tomas slid past her, followed by Ranma and Washu. Minako
didn't notice either of them however, as she stared at Tomas's
bare back. As his muscles rippled with each slow step her blush
grew. It finally reached the point where she had to turn around
to keep him from seeing any sign of embarrassment.

As for Ryouko and Aeka, well they just ignored the new
comers and continued to stare at each other in anger. Well, they
ignored each other until Tomas pushed his way between them, opened
the refrigerator, removed some leftovers turned around and headed
for the dinning table. The two just stood there and stared at him
as he sat down and began to devour the meal. Soon Ranma was beside
him with the platter between the two. In almost no time it was
all gone. Ranma then got up, walked between the two just as Tomas
did before, grabbed a few more dishes filled with food and sat at
the table. Not long after that, Mihoshi walked in the room. She
saw the meal that was disappearing and went to help.

As three people devoured a meal fit for eight, Minako moved
over and sat down at the end of the table. She gently shook her
head when Tomas pushed a couple of pieces of Sukiyaki towards her.
She stared in awe as the full plate became empty after a few
seconds. By the time the meal came to an end everyone had come to
sit at the table and watch the event. It was beyond anything they
had ever seen. After the meal was gone Tomas dropped backwards to
lay down.

"So, what's next on the agenda. I kinda think schools out
of the picture. And I don't think I could take another run in with
those underdressed girls."

"HEY!" Minako sounded rather offended by the comment.

Tomas rolled his head over to look at her. "Well, excuse me,
but if you can afford those little electronic communicator things,
you can sure afford to by some more fabric. Why the hell are your
skirts that short, anyway?"

Minako wasn't in the mood to be put on the defensive,
however. "They're so short so that men like you will be distracted
by our long, beautiful legs in battle."

"Distracted is right, they almost make me want to throw up."
He gave her a big grin just to let her know he wasn't serious.
His body was in such bad shape that he wouldn't be able to beat
Sasami in a fight, let alone a grown girl.

She gave him a rather seductive smile to let him know tat she knew
it was all in good fun. "And you're one to talk about modesty?
When you're walking around without a shirt on?"

"I'm not ashamed of my body. I think I look rather good.
Don't you agree?"

"If you two are through playing around we have something to
discuss here."

Tomas looked over at his friend. "Ah, Ranma, but flirting is
so much fun. You should give it a try sometime, you'll like it,
trust me."

"I've had enough problems with girls, thanks. Anyway, what
I want to do is go get my mother and bring her here. I don't like
the thought of her being at home alone. I'll do that tomorrow
morning. The rest of you had better begin thinking about how to
defend this place. Those girls already know we've been here once,
and they're sure to think of it."

Tomas slowly sat back up. "Fine then, I'm going with you."

"No you are not. Look you haven't asked yet, but you were
out for three days. You need time to recover and get back in
shape. This is the third time that you've been knocked out while
fighting. I've remained standing, however. That just proves that
you need to retrain yourself, and I won't take no for an answer!"
Tomas proceeded to swear up a storm.

Author's Notes: Well, I'm finally done. It sure took me long
enough to get this done as you know. I blame it on writing out
Tomas's past, Twin Black Phoenix, and Magic Squire Rayearth. I
hope that you enjoyed it, and know that I already have of
chapter 7 mapped out.
