Sailor Moon R 1/2
by
Donny Cheng
Makoto wandered about the Furinken High premises. She and her friends were
visiting the school for the annual school Olympic games.
Since they were competing in different events, they decided to separate and
meet with each other later on in the day. She caught sight of the judo
competition she had signed up for. They were already starting when she got
there. She gaped at the arena. It seemed the entire student body of
Furinken was there. She may have been wrong, but what she saw didn't look
like a judo competition. Many people were carrying an assortment of
weapons: bokkens, katanas, giant spatulas--GIANT SPATULAS?! Sure enough
there was a beautiful boy hefting a kick-ass spatula and some smaller
spatulas across his chest. What did we get ourselves into? "Hey! Isn't
this supposed to be judo only," she asked the nearest judge.
"Look, do you want to tell them that? I thought not. If you're a part of
the event, you're too late. It's already started. If you came being
prepared for only judo, I doubt you would have stood chance anyway. The
champion last year was that kendoist over there. He goes by the name of
Kuno "Blue Thunder" Tatewaki."
However, the handsome kendoist the judge pointed out was at the moment
being trampled by an unarmed pigtailed boy in Chinese clothes using just
judo. The judge then went towards the arena to declare the pigtailed boy
the winner. Makoto saw his face. Oh my god! He looks just like my old
boyfriend. Wait a minute here! He is an old friend. Boy, he sure has
grown into such a cutie. Smiling, she quickly ran over to greet him.
Ranma was startled by someone who just glomped onto him. "Hey, what do you
think you're do--." He stopped as he stared at the face of a long time
friend before him. "Makoto? Mako-chan, it is you. I can't believe it.
After all these years."
"Ranma-kun, imagine seeing you here. I thought I would never see you again
after you left me." Their reunion was stopped short as a short haired girl
and the boy carrying the spatula suddenly appeared behind them and they
looked pissed.
"Yes, Ranma-kun, imagine seeing you here flirting with another girl," they
both yelled in unison. "Don't you have another event to go to." Ranma was
then punted in to LEO.
Makoto bigsweated. "What's the big deal? Ranma-kun is an old friend of
mine. It's natural for us to be excited."
"So you're not another fiancée of his?" The boy, who Makoto just realized
was a girl, asked suspiciously.
"No, I not another fian-- WHAT?! Another fiancée? Just how many does he
have?" Makoto stared at them.
"You're seeing two of them now. Here, let me explain," sighed the short
haired girl. Akane and Ukyo helped Makoto catch up on Ranma's life.
* * * * *
Wow! They punted him in the right direction for his next match,
Ranma thought as he got out of the swimming pool. He was just in time for
the event too.
Principal Kuno cried when he saw Ranma appear. "Finally. Quickly change
into a girl and stand in line." The principal fully expected to win many
medals for Furiken with Ranma at his side. Fortunately, Ranma was such a
poor student, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to bribe Ranma with a
passing mark.
Everyone was at the starting blocks by the time she got there. The shot
sounded and everyone dove in swimming with all their power. Ranma wanted to
be fair, so she didn't use her chi to enhance her strength. She could hear
the crowd cheering for her and another two girls who seemed to be in the
lead with her. In the end it was a close finish, with her first and the
other two girls tied for second amazingly enough. When she caught sight of
who gave her such a hard time, her heart stopped. They were both childhood
friends she would never forget. Ranma was about to call them when she
noticed she was in her girl form. She poured hot water over herself from a
kettle that just happened to be near by. "Ami-sensei! Michiru-san! It's
me Ranma."
They were both startled. They both looked to see a boy grinning at them.
Ami remembered only one person who called her sensei. Michiru had vivid
memories of a scruffy looking boy with a cute smile.
"Ranma-kun?" Amy was startled at meeting her old best friend.
She had thought that he had left for good so long ago.
"Ranma-chan what are you doing here. I thought you were on some
training trip." Michiru was equally surprised at meeting Ranma.
"Oh, the training trip is on hold until I can take care of a few problems.
Uh..I'll talk to you later. I'm late for my next event."
Ranma had caught sight of an angry principal heading his way.
Ami and Michiru gaped at the boy running away from a man, who seemed intent
on shaving Ranma bald. Realization dawned on them, "How do you know
Ranma-kun?" They looked at each other, surprised. They both began to
explain their relative pasts to each other as they left the pool. Ami
didn't pay much attention as her thoughts were on Ranma and how much he'd
grown.
* * * * *
Ranma ran at top speed to the racetrack. When he got there, he noticed a
boy there that looked familiar. Sure enough, when he looked closer it was
another old friend. If his mind thought hard enough, it would have thought
it was weird that so many coincidences seemed to be happening. "Haruka-kun!
Do you remember me? It's me Ranma." Ranma hugged his friend. It was then
he noticed his old friend was glowering at him and that his friend had an
awfully big chest for a boy. He looked down and lo and behold, breasts.
Ranma quickly let go with his hands in the famous Takahashi pose. "What?
How did you become a girl. Don't tell me you're a crossdresser like Ukyo or
you've been to Jusenkyo too."
Haruka sighed. She bopped Ranma on the head. "I've always been a girl,
you idiot." When she caught sight of him strolling across the track with
that idiotic, inane grin of his, she had been furious. Didn't he know that
she and him were rivals? She had always been that fastest at any school she
went to. That was until Ranma stepped into her life. He beat her in every
race, yet he always came over to talk with her afterwards, acting like they
were best friends. He had left to go on a training trip before she could
beat him. She had been angry with him ever since. However, the fact that
he thought she was a boy though, caused her to lose the expression on her
face. "You were never the perceptive type. Didn't you ever wonder about my
name?" She then grinned at him, "So, you ready for a rematch."
Ranma smirked, "Any time." They got to the starting block as the event
began.
* * * * *
Usagi, Rei, Chibi-Usa, Hotaru, Luna, and Artemis cheered as
Minako's volley ball team scored again. Minako and her team dominated the
game. They were just about to win the game and match when the Furinken team
suddenly called a time out. They were going to make a line change. The new
member immediately began to make a difference. With this new addition,
Furinken had turned the tide. The new player was just too good. He was a
blur on the court. Not once had the ball touched the floor on Furinken's
side since the pig-tailed boy joined the team. As good as Minako's team
was, the lone player was over powering them. The game came to an end as the
boy drove in a spike.
Minako plopped on to the floor exhausted, but exhilarated. She hadn't had
to play such a tough game of volleyball in a while. The new player reminded
her of someone she couldn't quite place. She noticed the player in question
advancing towards her. "Minako? Mina-chan is that you?"
"Ranma? Ranma-chan!" They were both suddenly jumping with joy at seeing
each other for the first time in many years. "How's life been treating
you?"
"Very well, today. I've met a lot of old friends including you.
Wow, you've grown up very well."
Minako blushed. Usagi and Rei joining them halted their conversation.
"Cousin Ranma? What're you doing here? I thought you and Uncle Saotome are
off on a decades long training trip."
"Usagi-chan? Funny, meeting you here. What you and Mina-chan know each
oth--" Ranma was suddenly cut off as Rei glomped on to him, much to the
annoyance of Minako.
"Ranma, do you remember me? I'm Rei from the temple."
The girls all vied for control of Ranma's attention as they caught up with
each other's lives. What a coincidence that we all know Ranma, Usagi
thought.
* * * * *
Chibi-Usa, Hotaru, Luna, and Artemis hid behind the bleachers.
"What is it, Luna?" Hotaru looked at the guardian cat questioningly.
"Artemis and I are getting some strange vibes from that boy. We think he
might be from the moon kingdom or the negaverse. We want you to help keep
an eye on him, seeing as how the others are busy falling over themselves
with him."
Chibi-Usa nodded, "We will Luna, you can count on us."
The next moment saw Chibi-Usa and Hotaru taking turns getting a shoulder
ride from Ranma and giggling non-stop. Luna sighed, "Looks like we'll have
to take care of this ourselves Artemis.
* * * * *
At the awards ceremony the rest the Usagi's friends and Ranma's friends met
up. They went through another round of the introductions.
Ryoga also happened to wander by and upon seeing him with these girls
promptly tried to smash him to the ground. Ranma quickly explained they
were just old friends of his. In fact, one of them was his friend also.
Ryoga blushed and stuttered as Michiru appeared in front of him. After the
ceremony, which had Ranma winning almost all of the awards, they decided to
go out and get reacquainted with each other. Akane and Ukyo frowned at the
prospect of fighting with more girls for Ranma's affections, but were
delighted at the same time to learn more about
Ranma's past. They were soon joined by Shampoo as she came bearing lunch
for her victorious groom. Mousse followed not far behind. Kuno joined
their group, as he did not trust Ranma in the company of so many girls. As
usual, Shampoo glomped onto Ranma the moment she saw him. However, the
number of evil eyes that were being given to her by the various girls, cowed
even Shampoo. She reluctantly de-glomped Ranma. Since Usagi's friends also
brought lunch they decided to go out on a picnic.
* * * * *
Ranma and Usagi were busy fighting off each other's hands as they
scarfed down the food at the picnic. Ranma's friends stared as Usagi was
holding her own against Ranma's attacks. Usagi's friends stared as Ranma
was holding his own against Usagi's voracious appetite. Haruka smiled as
she watched them. "So Ranma, tell me how long have you been teaching Usagi
how to fight?"
Usagi was startled. "Ranma's never taught me how to fight."
Akane then noticed the way Usagi was eating. "Ranma, Usagi's using the
Saotome Ryu style of eating."
Ranma nodded. "You noticed? Well I couldn't leave my favorite cousin
defenseless. When I lived with her family about four years ago, I noticed
that she was quite weak. She didn't like violence, so I secretly taught her
a few basic martial arts moves at dinner time."
Usagi stared at Ranma. She had wondered how she was able to fight when she
first became Sailor Moon by herself. She had thought that the skills came
with being Sailor Moon.
Haruka snorted, "A few martial arts moves? I doubt that I can steal a
piece of food from Usagi based on the moves she's using."
Ranma shrugged and started to gobble down all the food again, seeing that
Usagi was distracted. Usagi quickly followed suit.
Akane, Ukyo, and Shampoo looked at each other and then at the other girls.
"How do you all know Ranma?" They all wanted to know how
Ranma knew so many cute girls.
* * * * *
They decided to tell their story based on the age Ranma was when they met
him. Usagi had known Ranma since they were babies. "We're cousins on his
father's side. Ranma and his family often visited until his long journey.
I had met up with Ranma again when he was twelve. They lived with my family
for a few weeks before they left again."
**flashback**
During their stay together, Ranma protected Usagi from some bullies. After
awhile, Ranma started to ingrain martial arts reflexes into Usagi at
dinnertime. When Ranma had left, the bullies tried to pick on Usagi again.
Usagi had somehow become clumsier around people. She stepped on the
bullies' feet. Her arms accidentally hit them in the face as she flailed
them to regain her balance. They didn't bother her after that.
**end flashback**
All the senshi stared at Usagi. So it really wasn't blind luck that Usagi
had when she dispatched all those youmas. Makoto recovered from her shock
and spoke next. "He had been so sad when I met him. He told me that he had
missed his best friend Uuchan and his mother." Ukyo blushed at hearing
this.
**flashback**
Chibi-Makoto had then hit Chibi-Ranma in the back and called him a whiner.
He got angry and attacked her. They roughed each other a bit before they
both laughed. He thanked her for helping him out of his funk. That was
when he noticed she was wearing a dress. He quickly jumped off her and
declared he couldn't hit girls. After that, Makoto is seen attacking him
whenever possible because of the comments Ranma always made. They became
good friends. Makoto is seen crying as Ranma left.
**end flashback**
Next was Rei's turn. "I met Ranma at the age of seven. I met
Ranma when his father visited my grandfather. I think they were old friends
or something."
**flashback**
Rei stared at Ranma with hearts in her eyes as they walked around the
temple. One day, Rei heard that Ranma would leave soon. They stood up late
to talk with each other that night. Rei told Ranma a fire reading of his
future. She told him that he would meet his future bride before he left.
She would have long, black hair and long legs. That night Rei was up all
night building makeshift high heels on her sandals. The following morning
Rei saw Ranma off. She was apparently taller than Ranma with the high heels
on.
**end flashback**
Ranma looked at Rei curiously. "I think your fire reading was wrong. I
didn't see a single girl the whole day, except for yo--" Ranma stopped
talking as dark auras formed around each girl. It was scary. It was safer
to just go back to eating.
Rei suddenly developed an interest in watching grass grow. She blushed as
she avoided the gazes of the girls. Ami decided to help her flustered
friend out and told her story next. "Ranma was nine when I first met him.
When I first saw him, he had been trying to steal the cookies my mother had
baked for me."
**flashback**
Ami scolded Ranma as he looked at her in puzzlement. She asked him if he
knew what was right and wrong. She was in shock when she learned Ranma
didn't go to school and didn't know much about morals.
Genma's face was full of shame as the little girl was reprimanding him.
Ranma went to school the next day. Ami tutored him in learning how to read
and write. When she learned Ranma was going to leave soon she made sure
that Genma would continue to take Ranma to school whenever possible. She
waved goodbye to Ranma with a tear stained face.
**end flashback**
It was Ami's turn to blush. However, the girls to smiled at her.
Who could get mad at such a touching story? Minako was the next to spin her
tale. "At the age of eleven, Ranma and his father again stopped in Tokyo.
I was being picked on by a horde of thugs when Ranma came. After that, we
were inseparable. He had tears in his eyes when we parted with one last
passionate kiss."
**flashback**
Ranma saved Minako from a few little brats. Ranma tried to pry himself
loose from Minako's grip. She visited him every day at the place where he
camped out. She was playing in the sand box when Ranma the sand box when
Ranma told her he was leaving. Sand got into Ranma's eyes as Minako blew
him a kiss goodbye.
**end flashback**
Minako cried in memory. Ranma's fiancees were now seething with anger.
"...passionately..." Akane's aura flared.
"...kissed..." Ukyo's spatula bent under her hands.
"...her..." Shampoo developed a severe twitch.
Haruka actually felt pity for Ranma. Ranma was in for some
serious trouble if no one interrupted them. She quickly related to them her
past with Ranma. "I first saw him when he reached the age of thirteen and
first went to junior high. We had a rivalry of who was the best runner and
fighter in school. Of course, Ranma never ever went full out and still beat
me in every sport."
**flashback**
Ranma and Haruka are at another track meet. The gun signaled the start.
Ranma effortlessly ran at the same speed as Haruka. He is talking
conversationally with her as he kept up and then passed her. They sat
together in judo class. Ranma and Haruka fight. He dodged all of her
attacks and won by her being too tired to throw another punch. It is
obvious he doesn't know she is a girl. Ranma slapped Haruka on the back and
left to go on his way again. Haruka was fuming as she glared at Ranma's
retreating back.
**end flashback**
Ukyo and Makoto looked knowinglly and Haruka. If you weren't wearing a
dress, it was very likely that Ranma would mistake you for a boy. Michiru
laughed at the fuming Haruka as she spoke next. "Ranma had enrolled at an
all boy's school at fourteen years of age. That was the first time I saw
Ranma-chan. Ryoga and I were friends since we were little children. I used
to take Ryoga to school every day as he had a bad sense of direction. When
Ranma came, we took turns taking Ryoga to places."
**flashback**
Ranma is playing in the park when he heard music. He stopped to listen to
a girl playing the violin. He clapped as Michiru finished. She blushed at
this and said she that was not very good. He would have none of that and
continued to clap. Ranma visited her every day to listen to her play. Her,
Ryoga, and Ranma were walking home from Ranma's all boy school. Ryoga was
furious at the closeness of Ranma and Michiru. Ranma did not notice. Ryoga
challenged Ranma to a duel. Ranma couldn't wait for him to show up and told
Michiru the he was leaving for China. Michiru never saw either Ryoga or
Ranma ever again till today.
**end flashback**
Ryoga was angry. Hearing Michiru talk brought back painful memories. He
looked towards Mousse and Kuno. They too had heard enough. Ranma would pay
for his womanizing.
Akane was angry. She looked towards Ukyo and Shampoo. They too had heard
enough. Ranma would pay for his womanizing.
* * * * *
The senshi could only stare in shock as three girls and three boys were
strangling Ranma. Nabiki smirked as she looked at Ranma's old friends. The
way they all stole glances at Ranma, Ryoga, Mousse and even Kuno told her
how much they all starved for love. She loved it when she had new
customers. All she had to do was help the girls choose a target for their
affections. She didn't know if Ryoga or Mousse would retaliate if she sent
some crazed girls after them, but she did know Ranma wouldn't. That
decided, she gave the girls a tight-lipped smile. "Girls, I happen to have
some information on they boys you are interested in. I will sell you this
information for the low price of $5000 yen." She frowned as the girls
immediately pounced on her with the money. They're more love starved then
she had figured. She should have asked for more. "Well, you see that
bandana-clad boy. Well you all know by now that his name is Ryoga. He has
already fallen in love with two girls. My sister, Akane, and a girl named
Akari. He is quite devoted to them. It also looks like he has a crush on
you Michiru. The guy with the thick glasses is Mousse. He has devoted his
whole life to the Chinese girl, Shampoo. The kendoist is Kuno. He is
devoted to my sister, Akane and a certain pig-tailed girl. The only one who
is not in love with another is Ranma. His engagement to Akane and Ukyo are
arranged and the one to Shampoo was an accident."
The inner-senshi talked amongst themselves: "Wow, he's got three girls
engaged to him." "He must be a great catch, because the girls still want him
even if he is leading them on." "If Ranma isn't actively after someone,
does that mean he's technically free?" "Chibi-Usa, your too young for him."
"Usagi, you've already got Mamoru." "Yeah, let us have a chance." Ami and
the outer senshi bigsweated as they moved away from their friends. Maybe no
one would notice that they were together.
Nabiki smiled as she looked on. Oh well. At least she got paid.
* * * * *
Setsuna shook her head as she looked at the group gathered around
Ranma. It amazed her to no end how one person could dominate over the lives
of so many people. She felt a disturbance in the air. A youma materialized
out of nowhere. It was one of the many generals that were once under the
control of Beryl. This particular one had been smart. It had hidden away
after Beryl's demise, slowly gathering dark energy. The amount of energy it
had now was enough to almost rival Beryl. Setsuna looked at it impassively
as it headed towards Furinken. She could not interfere in this historical
event.
* * * * *
"Aaaaahhh!" There came a loud scream from the school. Ranma and his
grouped turned to the source. There was giant of a man destroying
everything in its path.
The youma looked all around itself for the one who killed its queen. It
turned and saw Usagi. With an inhuman shriek, it ran at her full speed.
Usagi looked at her fellow senshi in despair. They were out in the open
and thousands of students were around them. They could not transform
without being found out. The youma closed in on her. There was no escape.
Usagi closed her eyes and prayed. The attack never came. She opened her
eyes to see that Ranma was carrying her off to safety. Her friends were
right behind him. The monster was at the moment being dealing with Ranma's
friends. She and her friends could only stare in amazement as the Nerima
residents attacked it. Ranma's friends were nearly as strong as they were
in their senshi form.
Ranma knew he could not outrun the youma for long. He had to do something.
He spotted a nearby tree. Quickly, he grabbed each girl and threw her into
the tree. They would be safe in there, while he and his friends dealt with
the youma. The monster shouldn't be too hard to deal with. It wasn't like
Ranma and the others haven't had their fair share of battles with powerful
people. Thunder sounded in the sky. It started to rain.
* * * * *
Luna and Artemis watched as a lone red-haired girl fought the beast. The
battle was going bad. All the girl could do was dodge. Luna was worried.
"Artemis, what can we do? There are too many people around. The girls
can't transform.
"I don't know. Maybe the girls have a better idea. Let's join up with
them.
* * * * *
Ranma looked around the battlefield. All of her friends were lying hurt on
the ground. Many of them in their Jusenkyo cursed forms.
She then looked at the still body of the beast. She had managed to use her
hiryu shoten ha technique on it. The body twitched slightly. Impossible.
It stood up and did not look hurt at all. What would it take to take for it
to stay down? Ranma knew of only one way to win now. The nekoken.
However, Shampoo was unconscious, so she couldn't be of any help. She
frantically looked for a cat. She turned and spotted a black cat with an
odd tattoo on its forehead. She suppressed to urge to shudder as he
approached it. "Here kitty, kitty. Don't be afraid. Listen, I need your
help. I'm going to grab you now and no matter what I say or do, don't let
go of me." Ranma felt silly to explain things to a cat. Somehow the cat
seemed to understand.
Luna held on for dear life. She had thought it was weird when the girl
came and asked for her help. Something about her made Luna what to trust
her. The figure beneath her stopped moving. Luna jumped off to see what
was wrong. She stared in shock. The girl was now meowing and on all fours.
The girl meowed her thanks and immediately turned to face the youma. Luna
could only stare as the girl shred it into nothingness.
* * * * *
Usagi and her friends watched in awe as the cat and duck transformed back
into Shampoo and Mousse. Unknown to everyone, Ryoga had also transformed
back into a boy and was with them as they listened to Akane. She explained
to them about Jusenkyo and Ranma's nekoken training. "There are only two
ways to help gain control of himself. One is for us to transform her back
into her boy form. The other is for her to sleep on someone's lap. I seem
to be the only one that can do this, so I'll go to her." Akane blushed as
she walked to Ranma.
Ukyo stepped in her way. "Hey, how do you know you're the only one that
can do it? It seems to me that anyone who cares about him can do it. I
will go to him."
"Violent Akane and Spatula Girl no go near groom. Shampoo help
Ranma." Shampoo said as she blocked Akane and Ukyo.
Soon Usagi and her friends joined in. They too thought they had what it
took to bring Ranma back to reality. The boys looked on in disgust as the
girls gushed at Ranma.
Ranma-neko looked at the girls curiously. They all felt right.
It couldn't decide which one to go to. It walked up to each girl and purred
against her legs. It then spotted the black cat that helped it earlier.
Ranma-neko leapt at the cute kitty. It wrapped itself around Luna and cat
kissed her.
The girls had all been deliriously happy when Ranma walked up to each of
them. However, seeing that he did that to every girl and then chose Luna
made them all see red. Screams could be heard throughout Nerima.
* * * * *
Ranma awoke to the smiling faces of his mother, Kasumi, Ami, and the outer
senshi. Usagi, the rest of her friends, and his fiancees were all looking
at anything but him. They alll looked shame faced. Ryoga, Mousse, and Kuno
glared at Ranma. Soun was crying his eyes out. Genma was a panda. Ranma
looked down at himself. He was again in a full body cast. He looked up at
the ceiling. This could not be happening to him.
* * * * *
All is as it should be Setsuna thought to herself. And so the
First Knight of Neo-Tokyo met his queen. She smiled as she watched Ranma
sleeping with the girls watching over him. She absently rubbed her round
stomach. The baby was kicking her again. She didn't need a doctor to tell
her what the baby's gender would be. All of Ranma's children were girls.
This was her second baby and Ranma's thirty-first. She felt a presence walk
up to her. "You did well Small Lady. You did not tell them of Ranma's
future life."
"Puu, you promised that you would tell me how uncle Ranma can live so long
after I finally meet him in the past. I'm not in danger of changing history
with that information, anymore."
"Very well. You see Ranma has two very powerful sensei. They both use
their martial arts skills to prolong their lives to over three hundred
years. Ranma is their best pupil. His conditioning allows him to live
twice that amount. Also, Ranma spends half his time in his never aging girl
form. Theoretically, Ranma could live well over a thousand years. Now,
you have to understand that your uncle is a bit of a narcissist. He had
magic used on him to retain in his youthful body. This makes him
technically immortal."
"Now, I understand." Chibi-Usa smirked as she remembered something. "So
whose turn is it to get uncle Ranma now." Being immortal meant for a very
lonely life. Her mother had her father for companionship. Michiru had
Haruka. Everyone else had to keep each other company. Ranma was the only
immortal male on earth, other than her father. So naturally each of the
senshi wanted him. Her mother had decreed that each girl had to take turns
living with Ranma for a month at a time.
"It's my turn I'm afraid. Now, I have to put of with his macho,
egotistical, sexist, attitude for a month." Setsuna tried to look like she
was annoyed with the prospect.
"But we wouldn't want him any other way." Chibi-Usa and Setsuna shared a
laugh.
* * * * *
The End. (maybe)
