STALLION

Chapter 1.

< I know I am but what are you? >







A quiet morning arrived at Tendo Dojo.  Kasumi, as always, was the first to
wake up.  After she freshened up, the eldest Tendo daughter went into the
kitchen to prepare the breakfast.  Nodoka soon joined Kasumi as she always
had done so since she moved into Tendo's.  Unlike her husband she didn't
want to mooch off from others.  Helping Kasumi in her house chores was at
least she could do for Tendos' hospitality.  Beside Nodoka was an excellent
cook.  A moment later, the house was filled with the delicious smell created
by two cooking wonders of Nerima.

Akane Tendo was never a glutton nor a good cook.  In fact, she was BAD.
Really, really bad.  It was so bad that Martha Stewart would have had to
chang her career if she had ever tasted Akane's cooking(Unfortunately for
the male population on the earth, she hadn't).  However the youngest Tendo
knew how to appreciate a good meal.  After all, she was living with one of
the best cook in all of Japan.  Naturally, she was awake as soon as the
house was filled with the fragrance that DESCRIBED the word "delicious."  It
had that kind of effect on people everytime either Kasumi or Nodoka was
cooking.

Akane was walking down the hallway, yawning once in a while, when she found
the door to the Saotomes' room open.  As she walked past the door, she
couldn't help but to take a peek inside.  Surprisingly, Ranma wasn't there.

A frown came to Akane's face.  Ranma rarely woke up so early.  It had been
more than a year since the pig-tailed martial artist came to her house and
not even once he woke up before her.  It was always either her splashing him
with the fire bucket, or his father throwing him out the window and into the
pond.  Nothing else short of Apocalypse seemed to wake him up otherwise.

Akane made her way downstair.  She quietly looked for Ranma as she got
prepared for her morning jog.  There wasn't a single sign of him.  Even out
in the yard she couldn't find him.  She frowned even more.

'Where is that baka?'

She sighed as she opened the gate and began her jog.  It was a perfect
summer day for jogging.  Quiet, peaceful day with no sign of cloud in the
sky.  Sound of birds' singing tickled her ears and sweet smell of wet grass
occasionlly drifted in the air.

'What a perfect day.'

Then suddenly her thought turned back to Ranma.  Akane frowned a little at
first, but soon she smiled sadly.  It had been two months since the fight
with Saffron.  She would never forget it, especially since she almost died
right there and then.  But the most important thing she remembered from the
fight was the moment when she heard Ranma confessing his love to her.

The frown returned to her face.  It was the best thing he ever said to her,
but when she confronted him about it before the wedding, or should she call
it the FAILED wedding ATTEMPT, he denied everything.  She couldn't believe
the gall of him, shattering the best memory of her life like that.
Especially when it actually happened!

'Like he always says, that's what he is.  A guy.  Always afraid of
commitment.'

Almost subconciously Akane punched a nearby mailbox.  Leaving a crushed
metal heap, and a stunned mailman dumbly staring at it, she continued her
jog.



As she was getting near her house, Akane was still thinking about her
stubborn fiance.  But by then she was worried about him rather than being
angry at him.

It didn't take long for Akane to notice some subtle changes in Ranma's
behaviour in last two months.  It was very gradual at first so not many
realized it.  Few did, of course, namely Nabiki and Cologne.  However now
everyone with even a hint of logic in their mind was very concerned about
Ranma.  Simply put, everyone except Kunos was worried.

The changes started in the smallest things.  Ranma began to keep his mouth
shut for a change.  Other than few occasional slip he no longer made joke
about Akane or her figure.  Well, he still complained about her cooking, but
as time went on Ranma was becoming more... tolerable.

Even during the fights, he seemed distracted.  Instead of provoking his
opponents with his insults and jokes, he kept his silence and fought
half-heartledly.  He got more injuries these days as he was less focused in
the fight.  Doctor Tofu was the first to notice, and Cologne was very
worried about this.

But this didn't come clear to any of Ranma's enemies.  Despite his
sweetness, Ryoga was thick-headed, like Ranma said.  Mousse didn't pay much
attention to anything other than his lovely Shampoo.  Happousai cared for
only one thing throughout his life, woman's undergarments.  Kuno was just
plain stupid.

But now the change was unmistakable.  Ranma stopped acting so arrogant.  He
stopped sleeping during the class, and he LISTENED during the class!  Mr.
Yamasaki, the history teacher, was almost scared of Ranma as now he watched
and listened intently during the class.  Ms. Hinako was disturbed, to say
the least.  One time, she even threatened to absorb Ranma's aura if he KEPT
paying attention.  It was that creepy to everyone.

Most amazing part of his change, at least to the rest of the world, was that
he stopped accepting free FOOD!!!  It was a great shock to everyone in the
class when Ranma first said "no" to Shampoo's free ramen.  Ukyou was so
shocked that she even tried to convince Ranma to EAT Shampoo's ramen.
Shampoo would have done so herself if she didn't already pass out.  He still
went to Ucchan's or Nekohanten, but no more than once a week.  Even then he
ate and paid like a regular customer, much to dismay of his fiancees.(1)

Shampoo was now scared of, and for her "Airen."  She suspected that either
Ranma was angry at her, or her exploding food at the wedding somehow gave
him brain damage.  Ukyou disagree with her Chinese rival, but she was upset
with Ranma's change nonetheless.

Kodachi was still around somewhere, but nobody cared.

Even at home, Ranma didn't eat as much as he used, nor as fast.  Mrs.
Saotome used to lecture Ranma about his table manner but now she tried to
encourage him to eat like his father.  However Genma still wasn't allowed to
eat like he used to.

Overall, Ranma changed, and it scared everyone.

As Akane opened the gate and walked through the garden, she couldn't shake
the feeling that Ranma was hiding something.  There was something definitely
wrong but he didn't admit it.  But Akane could feel a hint of fear in him,
and she suspeted that somehow it was that very fear that caused Ranma to
change.  Whatever was causing the fear, she didn't like it.  If she could
she wanted to help Ranma as his friend, and also as his fiance, not that she
would admit it.

'But he never tells me anything.'

Akane sighed.  Ranma never told her anything.  In fact, he never told anyone
about his own problem.  Genma taught him to have a very strong sense of his
manhood.  but unfortunately for his son, Genma never in his life had had
sufficient wisdom nor a proper role model.  As manly as Ranma was, he was
too rough around edges sometimes and lacked the word "sensitive" in his
personality.  Naturally he didn't have the ability to share his feelings
with anyone.  He dealed with his problems by himself, or just ignored them.

But this time, Akane was determined to find out what was going on.  She
really wanted to help him.  Ever since she noticed some sign, Akane began to
take note at every single detail of Ranma's change.  It was proven to be a
hard task, as things began to snowball.  There had been just so many
surprises that nothing surprised her nowadays.

'Like this morning.  *Sigh*  Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.  It's not
like he ADMITS he loves me.  Even when I do lo...'

Akane was so into her thought that she didn't notice Ranma standing right
behind her.

"Yo, Akane.  What's up?'

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!  DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT RANMA!!!!!!"

BAM!!

"What did I dooooooooo....."

'There he is, or rather, there he goes.'

A sigh escaped her mouth as she watched Ranma who was now just a speck in
the sky.

She had to admit her reflexes got the better of her this time.  She
suspected that her subconscious was more stressed than she thought.  Ranma
was still acting like a jerk at times but overall he and Akane were getting
along better.  They had less fight and Akane hit him even less.  However she
was getting more stress than before, since now she had more things to worry
about.

Contrary to popular beliefs, Akane was NOT a violent person.  Sure, she did
beat up Ranma once in a while.  Sure, she used to beat up all those boys at
Furinkan everyday.  But then who wouldn't in her situation?  First it was
Kuno and his idots.  Then an arrogant martial artist who came out of nowhere
and became her fiance overnight.  Then there came that nut gymnast, followed
by a Chinese BIMBO.  Soon after came the CUTE fiance of HER fiance...

'Not to mention Nekoken, Cologne, Happosai, Mousse, Taro, Kumon...'

And on and on and on...

With all those things it's a wonder I haven't gone crazy yet, Akane mused.
Unfortunately many of those things had STAYED in Nerima, and she had to see
them everyday.  On top of those she now also had to worry about what was
happening to Ranma.

'Sigh.  I barely escaped my own death only two months ago too...'

With that in her mind, Akane entered the bathroom.





Later.

Somewhere in downtown.

An ice cream shop was having its best time since, well, ever!  This was
accomplished despite the fact that there were only six customers.  The most
of ice cream sold was being consumed by only one of them though.  The rest
was just watching, some with amazement and some with disgust.  The only man
in the group, who was apparently in his early 20's, sweatdropped as he kept
checking his wallet.

'I should have known better than to treat Usagi, especially to ice cream.'

Chiba Mamoru, aka Tuxedo Mask, watched helplessly as his destined
soulmate(unfortunately for his wallet) devoured almost half of the Giant Ice
Cream Surprise in less than a second.

'It was supposed to feed 5 people too!'

Chiba Mamoru was not a cheap person.  But whenever Usagi was concerned,
eating cost a lot.  If she married Bill Gates he would go bankrupt before he
could even finish his wedding vow.

However he couldn't stop smiling as he watched his girlfriend attacking
another bowl full of ice cream.  Even with her worst faults he couldn't stop
loving her.  The destiny held them together tighter than a super-glue and he
was glad it did.  Truly, love was blind.

"Mamo-chan?"
"Hmm?  What is it, Usagi?"
"Can't I have another one??"
"Sure, go ahead."

Yes, it truly was.

Luckily for Mamoru's wallet, Rei finally exploded.

"ANOTHER ONE!?!?!?  YOU HAD 5 OF THEM ALREADY!!!!"
"Wahhhhh!!!  But they are so good!!!"
"WE ARE NOT HERE TO FEED YOUR BOTTOMLESS STOMACH!!  STOP EATING RIGHT NOW!!"
"Bu, but, then why are we here?"

Rarely it happened, but the question the Moon Princess asked had the Senshi
of Fire stumped.  Rei froze, since she had no idea why they were here.
Luckily the always-in-control Ami answered instead.

"We are waiting for Setsuna.  She told us to meet her here, remember?"
"Yes, I know.  But she is not here yet, is she?  Then what's wrong with me
eating some more ice cream?"
"*Sigh*  Nothing.  It's just that all of us are worried about what Setsuna
wants.  She rarely calls the meeting herself."

This fact sank deeply in Usagi's mind.  Her friend was right.  It was a rare
occurance when the mighty Sailor Pluto called for a meeting.  Whenever she
did, as how rare it may be, it was usually about trouble.

The Senshi-named-after-a-bunny then noticed her fellow Senshi's.  They all
had an expression on their face that was saying "we are doomed, doomed!"  In
fact, they were so disturbed that they didn't even touch their sundaes...

"Um, if you guys are not eating, can I have your ice cream?"
"USAGI!!!!!!!!!!"
"Wahhhhhhh!!!  I am sorry, Rei!!  I was just joking!!"

It was when Rei's hands were almost at Usagi's throat, despite other
Senshi's holding onto her, when the Mr. I-Look-GOOD-in-Tuxedo spoke.

"But really, why am I here too?"

Everyone froze at that.  It was true.  Mamoru wasn't a regular member of the
Senshi meeting.  He was the Prince who was the soulmate of the Princess but
not one of the Senshi.  They rarely called him and he rarely came.  But this
time the Senshi of Time personally told him to attend.

"He is right.  Why did Setsuna call Mamoru too?  She never did that.  WE
never did that."

Makoto spoke the question in everyone's mind.

Everytime someone asked a question about Sailor Pluto it always ended in one
of the following fashions.  One, nobody never answered, because nobody knew.
  Two, Sailor Pluto herself answered it coming out of nowhere.

This time, it was number two.

"Because I need all the help I can get."

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!  DON'T DO THAT!!"

Everyone at the table did the double flip as Setsuna spoke out of nowhere.
She ignored their protest and sat at one end of table.  All the Senshi's
except Ami were glaring at her, and the part-time Tuxedo Mask was shaking
his head with a look of disapproval.  However Ami had another thing in her
mind.

"What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean by what?"
"You said YOU need help.  Not US, but YOU."

This shook everyone out of their glaring position and into the full
listening mode.  Ami was right.  Sailor Pluto always spoke about trouble
coming to THEM, not one she was having.  Whatever this was about, it must be
big.

Setsuna on the other hand couldn't help but smile.  Out of all the Senshi's,
Sailor Mercury was easily her favourite.  The Senshi of Water was smart,
deductive, and calm.  Just like herself.  In fact sometimes her conversation
with the rest of the Senshi's seemed impossible without the translation by
Mercury.

'She's going to be something special when she grows up.'

With that thought aside, Setsuna went on her business.

"I won't go into details, but yes you are correct, Ami.  I said I need help
and I do."
"YOU DO??"

A gasp echoed around the table as everyone was shocked beyond belief.  Here
she was, the wisest, the smartest, and one of the strongest one of them all,
and she needed help.  Suddenly the Senshi's couldn't help but feel a little
chill as they waited to hear to what Setsuna had to say.

Setsuna continued despite the interruption.

"No matter how reliable you think I am, I also have my limits.  I am pretty
sure this will concern the rest of the Senshi's when the time comes, but
right now it just concerns me.  That's why I am asking for help."

Again Ami caught the subtle but sure sign of problem from Setsuna's words.

"What do you mean "pretty sure?"  You don't know what the problem is yet?"

Setsuna smiled again at Ami, and continued.

"No, I don't.  All I know is there is a disturbance in the timeline.  Right
now the Time Gate is almost unoperational because of it.  Without the Time
Gate, even I cannot foresee what it is and what it might do to the future."

It took a while for the fact to sink in, but it did.  It sank in deep, so
deep that Usagi was almost at the verge of fainting away.  Other Senshi's
sat stunned.  They were not crybabies but they were already beginning to
panic.  The Time Gate wasn't working!  THE Time Gate!!

"Then you called the Outers too, right?"

As always, Ami took composure fast and asked another question.

"Yes, I did.  In fact, they should be here right about... now."

Just then the door of the shop opened and there came the Outers.  Haruka and
Michiru entered, followed by young Hotaru.  Haruka then noticed that all the
Inners' eyes were staring at them.

"...what?"




"Tenchi-niichan!  Hurry up!"
"Ok, ok.  I am coming, Sasami-chan."

Tenchi sighed as the blue-haired princess again pulled his arm.  He could
pull himself out of a black hole, but he couldn't get out of grip of a 12
years old.

They came to the downtown today to have some fun, or in plain, to escape the
never-ending-Ryoko-vs-Ayeka-Live! at home.  True, it took them more than an
hour in a bus to get here.  But Tenchi had to admit, it was worth it.

Normally if he went anywhere, Ryoko would try to go with him.  Then Ayeka
would intervene, soon a fight would surely follow.  Then the plan for an
entire day would be up in the smoke because he and the rest of the household
would have to clean up the mess, IF they weren't too injured to do anything
at all.  Many times it was the latter.

Today Tenchi got lucky.  Ryoko and Ayeka had an early fight and knocked each
other cold.  Mihoshi volunteered to take care of them, so it was safe to say
that both of them wouldn't be getting up any time soon.  Kiyone also stayed
at home to make sure Mihoshi didn't kill anybody accidentally.  Mayuka was
away at his aunt's house.  Washu was still busy in her lab.

Tenchi shuddered as he remembered the last time he was in Washu's lab.  It
was fortunate Washu knew how to make a chiropractic machine.  On the other
hand, it was her own fault that he needed one in the first place.  The
Juraian Prince paused for a second to wonder what could possibly have driven
Washu crazy like that.  Sure, she was a bit crazy to begin with.  But her
craziness was usually a headache for others, not her own.

"Tenchi-niichan!!"
"Oops.  Sorry, Sasami-chan.  I'm coming, I'm coming!"

So much for a time for a thought, Tenchi mused.  It seemed that the youngest
Juraian princess was determined to have her own way with him today(2).

Tenchi was right actually.  Sasami couldn't believe that she could spent an
entire day with her Tenchi-niichan all for herself.  Even though they lived
in the same house, with all those other ladies around it was never easy to
get a single decent hour to play with him.  It was always either Ayeka or
Ryoko getting kidnapped, Mihoshi's spaceship crashing into their house, a
passing-by super villain challenging Tenchi, or one of Washu's experiment
going out of control, etc, etc.  Tenchi just didn't have time.

However today was Sasami's day.  Tenchi promised to take her to the
amusement park, to the shopping mall, and even to an ice cream shop!  It was
a good day, a very good day indeed.

Sasami was a bit worried about the house, but there were more than enough
able people around, weren't there?

'What could possibly go wrong in one day?'  Sasami thought.



In Tenchi's house.

"Aack!!  Washu, didn't I tell you not to use the stove?!?"
"AHEM!!"
"Aack!!  Washu-CHAN, didn't I tell you NOT to use the stove?!?"
"Relax, Kiyone-dono.  It's just a small fire."

"Oh my, there is a fire.  We gotta put it out."

"MIHOSHI!!  When did you get down?!  WAIT, MIHOSHI!!  THAT'S SAKE, NOT
WATER!!!"
"Ano, is there a difference between water and sake?"

SWOOSH!!

"THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaack!!  The fire is growing!!  What do we do, Kiyone?!?!?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WE?"  YOU DID THIS!!  NO, MIHOSHI, LET GO OF ME!!
Gaaacckkk~."
"WAAAAAAAAAHHH!!  I am scared!!  Kiyone, do something!!"

"Don't worry, everyone.  The greatest scientist is here!!
Mwhahahahahaha!!!"

"... can't... breathe... oxygen... needed... brain... dying..."
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

"Like I said, don't worry.  I just push this, and this, and this..."

Click.

"Uh-oh."

"..............(passed out)"
"What is wrong, Washu-chan?"

KABOOM!!!


'Really, what could possibly happen in one day?'

With that in mind, Sasami pulled Tenchi's arm again.

On the other hand Tenchi was beginning to worry.  He knew the his female
roommates well, too well in fact.  There was no doubt in his mind that they
were already doing something dangerous in his house right at that moment.
It was like he had a fifth sense about this.

'I hope we will still have a house when we go back.'



On the road to Masaki house.

Nobuyuki was driving his car back home.  He had a tough day so far and he
was looking forward to a quiet rest at home.

'Like that's gonna happen.'

A sigh escaped his mouth.  There always was trouble in Masaki household.
Everyday.  Without an single exception.  It had been almost a year since He
had some quality rest at home.

Nobuyuki prayed to the heaven for the safety of the house every morning
since the day Ryoko appeared.  Every morning before he left for his work he
would look up to the heaven and pray "please let there be a house standing
when I come back."  So far it worked.

However today he woke up late, and forgot to pray.

'Nah, one day wouldn't hurt, would it?'

He was wrong.

When he arrived all he could see was a black burnt field on where his house
used to be.  Nobuyuki dumbly looked at it.  Then he looked up and spoke.

"Eh, sorry?"



'Well, no good worrying about something I can't control.  I'll just enjoy
the day with Sasami.  Cute little thing.  She is so excited.  I wonder if
that ice cream shop is still there.  She would love the ice cream there...'

"Tenchi-niichan!  Look!  An ice cream shop!"
"Oh, it's still there.  They sell the most delicious ice cream in the town,
you know."
"Really?  Can we go, Tenchi-niichan?  Can we?"

Tenchi smiled at the now puppy-eyed, half-goddess, half-alien princess.

"Sure, I could go for some good ice cream myself."
"Yay!!  Ice cream!"

The two Juraian royal family members, and the two of the most powerful
beings in the universe, walked towards the ice cream shop, arm in arm,
singing a happy tune.




The luckiest man on the Earth was walking with the most perfect woman in the
universe, a goddess even, literally.

But he wasn't all that happy.

In fact he was really feeling awkward.

It wasn't because that she was the goddess.

It wasn't because that he was just a mortal, a weakling at that.

It wasn't even because her youngest sibling was walking with them, watching
every single movement he made.

No, not at all.

It was because the youngest goddess had a bomb in her hand.

This was no longer the matter of some quality time with Belldandy.  It was
matter of life or death for him and the hundreds of poor souls who happened
to be around him.

What he didn't know was that the bomb was a fake.  No matter how childish
Skuld might look she was a goddess after all.  She would never put anyone in
any kind of dangerous situation in purpose.

Well, maybe Keiichi.  If he made a slightest wrong move towards her
sister...

That was what her mallet was for.

The bomb was just a friendly(?) reminder what WOULD happen if he tried.

So it was only Keiichi who was in danger, not others.  Hurray!

Belldandy, as always, was oblivious to all this.  A sweet goddess didn't
always make a sharp one.  As smart as she was, the goddess of the present
was WAY too naive.  But then again, she was a goddess.

Still eyeing the bomb in Skuld's hand, Keiichi asked the youngest goddess.

"Um, why am I here?"

Skuld answered with a smile, as if she didn't notice the tremble in
Keiichi's voice.

"Why, to help my sister, of course."
"Um, what was Belldandy doing again?"
"Why, to find that mysterious power source we detected, of course."
"Um, then what are you doing here?"
"Why, to smack you down if you try anything on my sister, of course."
"Um, okay..."

Keiichi was never a strong man, but he was no fool.  If there was a
dangerous female, avoid her temper at all cost.  Especially if she was a
goddess.

"Keiichi-san?  Are you okay?"

The beautiful goddess' question started Keiichi a bit but he answered
quickly, not wanting to upset her.

"Nothing!!  Nothing's wrong, hehe.  Did you find anything?"

Belldandy tilted her head a little at his reaction, but soon answered
cheerfully.

"No, nothing at all."

How she found this cheerful, no one will ever know.

Keiichi sighed, then spoke.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come.  I mean, I don't know what to look for in the
first place.  I want to help, but I can't do anything."

"That's not the only thing you can't do."
"Skuld!"

It hurt, but it was the truth.  Keiichi also knew it.

"It's okay, Belldandy.  She is right though.  This is a kind of matter only
you goddesses can solve.  I'll be nothing but a burden."

"Oh, so you'd just sit at home, while we ladies work our butt off outside?"

"Well, that's not that bad a idea, but...  Urd!!  When did you...??"

Urd was standing right behind Keiichi.  A smirk on her face as she always
enjoyed playing with Keiichi.  He was way too naive for her taste, but that
just made him so fun to tease.

"Hello to ya, too.  Keiichi."
"Urd!  What were you doing alone out there?  You went to goof around, didn't
you?"
"Urd-neesan.  Did you find anything?"

Urd put a mock hurt expression as she looked at Skuld.

"Whatcha mean "goof around?"  I was only working by myself.  And no, I
didn't find anything.  Saw a crazy TV salesperson, though.  He saw me and
boom!  Next he was bouncin'round speakin' mumbo-jumbo.  There are way too
many nuts 'round here."
"Heh, he probably knew how dangerous you are."

Urd's eyebrow twitched for a moment while her hand started producing sparks.

"Care to repeat that, you little brat?!?"

Skuld wasn't fazed at all as she took out a REAL bomb in front of her.

"Anytime, you old hag!!"

Keiichi edged away from the two angry goddesses and towards Belldandy.
Unfortunately this didn't go unnoticed to the goddess of the future.

"Wait!!  What do you think you are doing, Keiichi?"
"Um, the opposite of whatever you think it is?"

The heat of the battle shifted over to the youngest goddess of the Norn and
the helpless human male.  Urd smirked then turned towards her other sister.
Belldandy was frowning, deep in thought.

Confused, Urd asked, "Belldandy, what's wrong?"
"Oh, Urd-neesan.  Nothing.  In fact, that's why I am worried."
"Huh?"

Belldandy lifted her face to look at her sister eye-to-eye.  With serious
tone, she explained.

"The power we felt two months ago came to this town, but we cannot find any
sign of it.  This doesn't make any sense."
"Huh?"

Now Urd was even more confused.

"It doesn't make any sense?  What doesn't?"
"Well, it has been two months since it came here.  If it was an evil it
would have made its move by now.  But it didn't.  But if it was one with
good heart, why did our father conceal it?"
"Hmm...  I see.  There must be a reason why it's stayin' low, good or evil."
"I don't think it is hiding either."
"Huh?  What do you mean?"
"I found some traces of the power around a few neighborhood, but they were
only the residues.  There was no other indication.  I asked some people in
the neighborhood but they didn't see nor heard any kind of strange
happenings.  Whatever it is, it is walking around in the open during
daylight.  It's not hiding from us, but it's not showing itself to us
either.  It's just getting on with its plan, whatever it is, with minimum
action."
"That's why some residue was left, but no clue."
"Exactly.  I don't think whatever we are looking for, it's not a danger yet.
  But we can't be sure until we find it."
"But how?  We've been combin' the city for last whole month!"
"I know..."

Unknown to the two worried goddesses, a truce between a divinity and a human
was being made.

"Skuld, calm down.  I didn't mean to do anything...  I know!  I will buy you
ice cream!"

An offer was made by a man who was still eyeing the bomb in front of him.
But he was even more surprised and nervous as the excited goddess waved her
arm wildly with the bomb still in her hand.

"ICE CREAM!  Wait, are you just trying to change the topic?"
"No, no.  Not at all.  It's just that I know a great ice cream shop around
here.  Megumi showed me once, and they had the best flavours!  I swear!"
"Hmm..."

As Skuld began to think about Keiich's offer, a scale popped in her head.
On one hand, a mini-Skuld blowing up Keiichi.  On the other hand, there was
ice cream in a bowl.  It was an already lost battle, as the mini-Skuld
jumped onto other hand and began to eat the ice cream.

"SOLD!!  Belldandy-neesan, Urd!  Let's go eat ice cream!"

With Skuld walking away, Keiichi finally did something he hadn't been doing
for last 5 minutes...  he breathed.




Back in the ice cream shop, the Inner and the Outer Senshi's were sitting
around the table discussing about what Setsuna told them.

"Yammy!  This flavour is gooooooood!"

At least, they tried to.

"USAGI...  STOP eating.  NOW."
"Rei, you should try some too!  This is really really good~!"
"USAGI!!"
"Waahh!  Scary!"

Setsuna was rubbing her forehead as she felt another headache coming, over
the one she was already having.  Haruka had put her head down on the table,
trying to ignore the commotion.  Michiru was slowly tasting the ice cream,
as if she wasn't hearing anything any more.  Hotaru nervously looked around
the other Senshi's, feeling really uncomfrotable.

The Inners?  They were used to the-Artist-formerly-known-as-the-Princess so
they paid no attention to her performance.  In fact, the Inners were only
ones who made any kind of comments in the group.

Except Rei, that was.  She was still screaming at Usagi.  Mamoru?  He had
put both of his hands on face, with his elbows on the table.  Not a word
came out of his mouth ever since Setsuna came.  The defender of the Earth
was not feeling well.

They were all occupied with their own thoughts so much that they almost
didn't notice anything around them.

All but one.

Setsuna's eyes shot up.  Her senses were screaming about some serious power
nearby.  Whatever it was, it was very close.  Her eyes narrowed, as she
realized that the power in question was approaching them.  She turned her
gaze towards the entrance.  Almost instantaneously, the door opened to
reveal the source of the power.

A boy of late teen, and a girl of around 12.

By then the Outers noticed the change in Setsuna and also turned their
attention to the door.  But all they could see was a giggling girl hanging
onto a boy's arm, probably her brother or something.  There seemed to be
nothing special about them.

But Setsuna could feel the great power inside the boy, so great that she
could barely breathe.  It was as if the boy was a walking voltex.  She had
to suspect that his power was not of this world, as her own aura seemed to
dim in front of him.  .

Now the Inners turned their heads, too.  Even Usagi and Rei stopped their
fighting as all of their friends seemed to pay attention to this boy with a
little girl hanging onto his arm.  Mamoru stared at him too, despite not
having a clue what he was looking for.




While the clerk behind the counter scooped up an ice cream cone, Tenchi
smiled as Sasami drooled looking at it.  The place he lived didn't have many
shops around so he had very few chances to take the young lady of Jurai out
for a little treat.  The fact that he was living with other females in the
same house didn't help matter much.

Tenchi was an only child.  He didn't have many opportunities to make new
friends, as he had to work at the shrine ever since he was young.  He had
very few regrets in his life, and one of them happened to be not having a
sibling.

Now his house was over-crowded.  There wasn't a day went by without
something happening.  But among all those occupants in the house, Sasami was
the only one with whom he could feel like part of a normal family.

Well, Mayuka was supposed to be his DAUGHTER, but he couldn't feel so
enthusiastic about it as much as Mayuka did.  He never even kissed a girl,
but already had a 10 years-old kid?!?  Tenchi told his dad's relatives that
she was his cousin from his mother's side so nobody suspected it.  However,
somehow Mayuka STILL remembered that Tenchi was his father and was very
happy about it.  TOO happy if you asked Tenchi.  Mayuka was a very nice girl
and all, and despite the awkwardness Tenchi was proud of having a such
daughter.  But she just wasn't as normal as Sasami...

'Well, there is a goddess sleeping inside of her, but aside from that Sasami
is perfectly normal.  Okay, so what if she is actually over 700 years old?
Um, she IS the owner of the most powerful spaceship in the universe, but
other than that...  Wait, she is also an alien...  Um...'

Tenchi shook these thoughts out of his head.  The important thing was that
Sasami thought of him as her brother, and he thought of her as his sister.
They were family.  Throughout his life there were very few people who came
even close to that kind of relationship with Tenchi.

'There was, what's her name?  I can't seem to remember...  It's been a long
time since I saw her...'

Just then, the clerk handed him two ice cream cone.

"Here you go."
"Um, thanks.  Here's yours, Sasami-chan."
"Wow!  Thank you, Tenchi-niichan!"

When Tenchi handed Sasami her ice cream, he noticed a group of people
sitting on a table.  For some reason all of them seemed to be staring at
him, but as soon as he looked at them the girls turned their gazes away.

'What was that all about?'

Then Tenchi noted a man of early 20's who was still staring at him.  With
confusion clearly on the face, the man turned his head back to the table,
just to find all of his companions looking away.  The man blinked, turned
his head back towards Tenchi, blinked again, and turned back to the table,
and blinked a few more times.

All Tenchi could do was to send him a sympathetic glance.  A poor man alone
in a bunch of girls.  Whoever the man was, Tenchi felt his pain.  After all,
he felt the pain everyday.(3)

It was then when Tenchi noticed one of the girls who was still staring at
him.  In fact, she was GLARING at him.  The girl, or rather, the woman was
sending a clear message of "I don't like you and I hope you know it too."

Tenchi nervously waved his hand at her, but her glare seemed to deepen.

'Who is she?  Why is she glaring at me?  Did I do something wrong?'

He was shaken out of his confusion by Sasami's voice.

"Tenchi-niichan!  Here!  Here!"

The young princess was waving at him from a table near the window.  Without
hesistation Tenchi walked hurriedly to the table.  Faster he get away from
the woman, the better.

When Tenchi sat down he stole a quick glance towards the woman.  She was
still glaring at him.  Almost voluntarily he gulped.  There was nothing like
a glare of a scorned woman.

'I wonder why she's so mad at me?'




"Setsuna, what's wrong?  Do you know that boy?"

The mentioned Senshi turned her head just enough to reply to Ami.

"No."

Then she resumed glaring.

By now everyone was confused.  The boy seemed to be nothing more than a
caring brother.  They had no idea why the ever-calm Sailor Pluto was looking
at him as if he was the last remaining sweater at a department store sale.

The brave Sailor Venus asked a question.  She was always the bravest among
the Inners.

"Um, I know this is none of my business, Setsuna.  But don't you think he is
too young for you?"

But then she was never known for her brain...  Needless to say, her question
didn't sit well with Setsuna.

"......"

Quietly the Guardian of the Time Gate turned her gaze at Minako.  Without a
single word was coming out of her mouth, but the look in her eyes told
Minako more than she wanted to hear.

"Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry!"

Ignoring the babbling Senshi of Love, Setsuna returned her attention back to
the table.  To avoid a further stupid question, and to have them aid her in
this, an explanation was in order.

"USAGI!!  YOU ARE EATING AGAIN??!"
"Waaaaahh!  But I can't help it!"

Yes, an explanation was in order, indeed.




"Tenchi-niichan?"
"Huh?  What is it, Sasami-chan?"
"Is anything wrong?  You didn't even touch your ice cream."
"Ah!  It's melting already!  It's, no, nothing, hehe..."
"?"

Sasami pondered a bit but soon went back to enjoying her ice cream.  Tenchi
did the same, but his mind was still on somewhere else.

'What did I do to that woman?  Do I even know her?'

A chill went down his spine not because of the ice cream but because Tenchi
remembered his last time he saw a woman angry.  It didn't help much when the
angry one happened to be the self-claimed greatest scientist in the
universe.  What was worse was the fact that some might doubt her greatness,
but none would doubt her madness.  Either way, directed at him or not, he
suffered the wrath of females once too many time in his life already.  He
had no desire to add up on that count.

Then he heard a big shout from the table where the woman was sitting.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!?!?"

Somehow Tenchi was beginning to feel the sense of doom.  Slowly, he turned
to look at the group of girls, who now were glaring daggers at him.  Some of
them were even showing sign of fear.  Whatever the woman told them about
him, they clearly didn't like it.

'Gulp'

Trust me, Tenchi.  That gulp wasn't big enough.




"Are you telling me that the skinny boy sitting over there is more powerful
than the entire Negaverse?!?"

Makoto hissed at Setsuna with an irritation clear in her voice.

'This really isn't fair.  How come every good one is either taken or
dangerous?'

To add on to her irritation, Setsuna's answer was very quiet but sure.

"Yes.  I don't recognize the origin of his power but it surely isn't
something to be laughed about.  He is very strong.  I suspect that he might
be the cause of the disturbance."

The response of each Senshi to this was all different.

"Good.  Let's crack his skull."
Always hot-headed Haruka spoke while cracking her knuckles.
"Let's not rush things, shall we?"
The reasonable one of two, Michiru, was busy keeping her partner in line.
"Um, what is the Negaverse?"
Hotaru, who was the one of the most powerful Senshi's but also the youngest,
had no idea what they were talking about.
"Setsuna!  How can you be so sure that that CUTIE over there is so
dangerous?"
Of course, the boy-crazed Senshi of Love, Minako.
"She is right!  He looks very kind, just like my old boyfriend!"
One who was NOT the Senshi of Love, but just as boy-crazed as her if not
more, Makoto.
"Absolutely!  Can I have your ice cream, Makoto?"
The Princess Usagi who could rule a galaxy if she could rule with her
stomach.
"USAGI!!"
Rei, who could burn her opponents just with her temper.
"Rei, calm down!"
Ami was also busy, calming the Senshi of Fire.

Setsuna rubbed her head again.  She could feel that it was going to be a
long day.

Seeing Setsuna in distress, Ami quickly came up with a plan.

"I know!  I can analyze him with my computer.  It might not be enough to
find out the truth, but it might give us some clue to what we might have to
do with him."

Others nodded.  Things like this was Sailor Mercury's expertise.

With their approval, Ami took out her miniature super computer, not knowing
that themselves were already being scanned by the greatest scientist in the
universe.




In her lab, Washu was typing frantically as she watched the screen.  On the
screen there were nine females and a male sitting around a table.

'Very interesting.  Very interesting indeed.'

A smile crept up to Washu's face, which was still covered with black shoot.
It took a while for her to restore the house after the ACCIDENT(Kiyone
didn't think it was but she didn't, or rather, couldn't protest).  When she
came back to her subdimension lab, a surprise was waiting for her.  She was
so eager to look through it that she didn't even bother to wash her face.

'Good job, Tenchi-dono.'

It was a brilliant idea to install a highly-sensitive all-use sensor in
Tenchi's watch.  The only hard part was to install the sensor WITHOUT Tenchi
realizing it.  Sure, if Washu asked Tenchi wouldn't have refused.  But......

'Then where is the fun in it, huh?'

Washu began to laugh maniacally.  It was fortunate that the sensor was only
one-way equipment.  Otherwise the subjects on the screen would have fled the
scene long before Washu could blink once.

'One of you must be the one I was looking for.  Which one is it?'

But even with her sensor there just wasn't enough data.  To investigate
further Washu would have to bring them here.  But she couldn't decide which
one she should teleport here first.  So she used the only satisfactory
scientific method to solve her dillema.

"Mini mini mani mo..."

When in doubt, trust the "coincidence."  After all, many of the scientific
achievement stood on the ground of pure "coincidence."

"Mini mini mani mo... huh?  There's another power source?!  And it's also
approaching Tenchi-dono!  This needs further looking into..."




Skuld suddenly stopped in the middle of the street with the ice cream shop
only steps away.  A frown slowly made onto her face as she reached into her
pocket.  With one swift motion, she took out her Mr. Looky, which started
beeping frantically.

"Skuld?  What'cha doing, kid?"
"Sshhhhhhhh!"

The goddess of the past was confused as she watched her sister scanning the
area with that ridiculous stick of her.

"What's wrong, kiddo?  Your ice cream's only a few feets 'way."
"I think Mr. Looky picked up something."
"What?  That funny-looking piece of stick?"
"IT'S NOT FUNNY-LOOKING!  Beside, it really did pick up something!"
"Okay.  Then what did that FUNNY-LOOKING stick find?"
"I SAID IT'S NOT FUNNY-LOOKING!"

By now Keiich and Belldandy caught up with them.  With worry apparent on her
face, Belldandy asked.

"What is it, Skuld?  Did you find something?"

Skuld looked back at her machine.  Soon the frown on her face deepened, and
with very serious tone she answered.

"I am not sure this is what we're looking for, but it is in...... that store
over there!"

With that, her finger pointed their original destination, the ice cream
shop.

A big sweat formed on the back of everyone, including Skuld.  Then Urd
spoke.

"I'm sure that's what we're lookin' for, because WE 'WERE' LOOKING FOR THAT
FREAKING ICE CREAM SHOP!"

"No, no!  I didn't mean the ice cream!!  What I meant was that there are
some powerful beings in that store!!"

"Huh?"




Near the shop, a pigtailed boy in his late teen, in other words Ranma
Saotome was walking by(4).

Ranma was in a foul mood.  He was waken up by a rather nasty nightmare, then
there was another free flight by Akane Air.  His landing just happened to be
in front of Mr. Blue Thunder of Frinkan High, who just happened to be
walking with Kodachi the Black Rose of Hebereke High.  Between one who was
trying to kill him and one who was trying to paralyze him, any hope he had
for a peaceful day was long gone.

However it didn't help his mood much.  Ever since his fight with Saffron
Ranma had been feeling rather depressed.  Sometimes it was lost appetite.
Sometimes it was no desire to fight.  Everyday it was in different form, but
the feeling was always there.  It was as if he was missing a part of
himself.  No.  That was not it.  It was as if he lost the part before but
just realized that now.  Whatever he lost, it was something important,
precious even.  But he had no idea what it was, and that was eating him
inside out.

Ranma sighed.  He was the heir of Anything Goes.  He was the best martial
artist in Nerima.  He was a man, damn it.  Then what was this empty hole he
was feeling inside?

Hole.  The word made him freeze in the middle of a street as he was reminded
of the nightmare last night.  The boy had a hole in his chest, and out of it
the man came...

'He was... he was... '

Suddenly Ranma shuddered, and was feeling dizzy.  He put a hand on his
forehead as he leaned on a wall with his back towards it.  It felt bad.
Whatever he was feeling, it felt really bad.  He wanted some relief.  Like a
soak in the furo or something.

Then he saw a shop, and smiled half-heartedly.

'An ice cream shop...  It might not be so bad right now...'

Ranma loved ice cream.  It was a little embarassing to admit but he really
did.  He could understand why girls loved it so much.  When in a bad mood,
sometimes having an ice cream really did the trick.  Unlike usual he wasn't
all that enthusiastic though.  But right now he wanted a mood booster, the
quicker the better.  The furo also would be good but it was too far from
here.  The shop was right there, and he had some spare change in his pocket.

'Ah heck.'

Depressed or not, he was still Genma's son.  While not bottomless as it once
was, his Saotome stomach was still a Saotome stomach.

'Just one for now.'

With that thought Ranma walked to a nearby restaurant to find some cold
water.




Back in the ice cream shop.

At Senshi's table, Ami turned on her computer and began to analyze the
subject.

'Odd.  There are two power source over there.  One is big, but other one is
even bigger than that...  Could it be that the girl also have some power?'

Ami took a brief glance at the young girl who was happily enjoyin her ice
cream.

'Nah.'

Then suddenly something else appeared on the monitor.

'Huh?  What's this?  Wait a minute...'

"What's this?!?  The computer is detecting another power source!"(5)

"WHAAAATT??!?"

At hearing this, everyone at the table was now on their feet, even Setsuna.
This caught the attention of all the people in the shop, which were only
three people, the clerk, Tenchi and Sasami.  They were all sweatdropped as
they watched nine people practically on one girl's throat.  Noticing they
were being watched, Setsuna was the first to find her composure and sat
down.  The rest followed.  But Setsuna soon hissed at poor Ami.

"What do you mean there is another power source?"
"Um, well, that is...  The computer is picking up something outside of the
shop.  There are three of them.  In fact, they are coming over here right
now..."

Just then, the door opened, revealing three beautiful women and one nervous
guy.




The three Norns walked towards the counter pretending to be normal.  But
carefully they were eyeing everyone inside.  They could feel the
supernatural power concentrated in this place, but there were coming from
just too many of them.  It had them worried and slightly nervous.

Keiichi had no idea what was going on, but he was still VERY worried and
VERY nervous.

After they ordered a sundae for each of them, they sat at one corner of the
shop.  The view was such that they could see the entire room in one glance.
As soon as they sat, Urd spoke in hushed voice.

"There're something goin'n here alright.  But there are too many.  I can't
count'em."
"Me neither, onee-san.  There is one stong power concentrating around the
young man over there, and another one from those girls, but I can't
distinguish the individual ones."
"No problem!  I have just a thing for such a situation!"
"Um...  What are you guys talking about?"

Ignoring Keiichi's confused question, Skuld took out a small glasses with
lots of gadget attached to it.




In Washu's lab, the red-headed scientist was watching the monitor intently.

"Hmm, those three are very strong.  The guy is nothing to look at, but there
must be something to him too if he is in the company of those three."

A rather nasty grin came up to her mouth.  She had a special experiment for
such a male specimen that would have been illegal in many countries for its
inhuamne and perverse nature.  But she was a scientist, not a saint.  Ethic
and moral was NOT in her vocabulary.   Cruelty and indecency was.

"Hehehe.  Eh?  The sensor seems to be unstable.  Too much power perhaps?"




Back in the shop, Tenchi was feeling rather hot.

'Weird.  I am eating an ice cream.  How could I be hot?  Odd.  Did my watch
always heat up like this?'




Haruka spoke in small but irritated voice.

"What now?"

"I can't seem to isolate the power source.  There are just too many with too
much power in such small area.  Oh no, the computer is out of control!"

"What?!?  Why?"

"I think there are so much power is concentrated in this one small place
that the computer can't handle it!  The power sensor inside of the computer
must be overheating!"

As if it wanted to prove Ami's words, the computer monitor began to show a
bunch of irregular waves.  Then Ami began to scream.

"Aack!!  My computer is getting hot!"

"Turn it off!!  Turn it off!!"




Over in the goddesses' side, things weren't getting better either.

"Huh?  The meter scope is not working well.  I can only see a weird signal
that keeps blinking."
"Maybe it's broken, kiddo."
"It's NOT broken, Urd!  Wait.  You didn't touch it, did you?"
"Why would I wanna even touch your STUPID glasses, you brat?!"
"It's not a regular glasses!  It's Accuarate'ometic 3000!"

"Urd-neesan, Skuld!  Calm down, both of you!"

Unknown to the goddesses, a trail of smoke began to rise from the
"Accuarate'ometic 3000."  Fortunately Keiichi noticed this.

"Um, guys?  I think something's wrong with that... thingy.  Um.  Guys?
Guys~?  Hello~?"

Unfortunately nobody was listening.





Outside of the ice cream shop, a wet pig-tailed redhead whistled a tune as
she walked towards the door.  As she reached for the door knob there was
only one thought in her mind.

'Triple ice cream cone!'




Tenchi and Sasami wide-eyed at now glowing watch on the Juraian prince's
wrist.



All the Senshi and Mamoru began to edge away from the computer as it began
to shake.



Keiichi waved his arm frantically as he watched more smoke coming out of the
glasses in Skuld's hand, but the goddesses weren't looking.




Ranma-chan opened the door with a smile and spoke loudly.

"One triple chocolate ice cream cone, please!"




WHOOSH!

The glowing watch on Tenchi's wrist was set on fire.

"Aaaaack!!  Fire!!  Hothothothothothot!!!!!"
"Tenchi-niichan!"

Without wasting a second, Tenchi ran to the men's room.  Sasami could only
run up to the its door, but kept shouting anyway.

"Water!  Put it in the water, Tenchi-niichan!"

Inside Tenchi looked around frantically to find some water.  As soon as he
saw a small pond he put his entire arm in it.

The fire was out and he was safe.

Then Tenchi realized something.

'A pond in a washroom?  Wait a minute...'

He looked down to see where his arm was, sighed, and blamed it on the only
one who possibly be responsible.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!"

A moment later he added.

"CCHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!!!"(6)




At Senshi's table the vibrating computer finally stopped.  Sadly when it
did, it blew up too.

BOOM!

"Duck!!"

Even before Makoto's warning everyone was under the table.  Fortunately the
explosion wasn't that big.  It just burnt up the computer and the small
surface of the table.  Not taking chances however, the Senshi's stayed down
until they was sure it was safe to look up.

"My computer..."

Ami spoke first with tearful eyes as she looked at what was once her
computer, but now only a smoking heap of junk.  Rei and Makoto patted her
shoulder trying to comfort her, as they knew how much it meant to her.

"My ice cream..."

Usagi spoke later with also tearful eyes as she looked at what was once her
ice cream, but now only a dripping puddle on the table.  Mamoru patted her
shoulder trying to comfort her, as he knew how much it meant to her.




Keiichi was never a brave man, but he took charge when he was needed.  Just
like right now, when he took the glasses off Skuld's hand and tried to throw
it away.

KABOOM!

But then again, he never succeeded in any of his previous attempt.  Why
would he start now?

"No!  Keiichi-san!!"
"No!  My Accuarate'ometic 3000!"
"I told ya it's broken!"

As Belldandy tried to revive smoking Keiichi, another arguement broke out
between two goddesses.




Ranma-chan watched with a big sweat on the back of her head as she watched
the three different things happened at the same time, right in front of her
eyes.  She turned to the clerk, who was now doing nothing but blinking, and
asked.

"Um, what's going on over there, and there, and there?"

"I-I have no idea.  They have been acting weird, but not this weird."

Ranma-chan had to agree, it was weird.

But then again, she was from Nerima.

"By the way, my ice cream?"

"Um, sorry, miss.  Here it is."

Aside from a brief twitch of her eyebrow at "miss," Ranma-chan happily
accepted her ice cream.  She waved good bye at the clerk out of courtesy and
left.  Only the clerk acknowdged her leave as he waved back at her with
rather dumb-looking smile on his face.  Other people in the shop were too
busy with their own problem to notice this...




In her subdimension lab, Washu's eyebrow twitched as she stared at now blank
screen.

'Just when it was getting interesting...'

Apparently the power in the vicinity was over the sensor's limit.  Washu was
rather surprised for this turn of the event.  Whoever those people were, she
would have to watch them carefully.

One thing still bothered her though.  Just before the screen became blank
there was an abnormality for a very brief moment.  All the sensor's meters
were at its peak.  It might have been just the coincidental add-up of the
powers, or it might have been another source being detected.

'But what more could possibly be there?  There was already enough power to
destroy the entire solar system in that place.'

Right then was when the big screen in front of her began to crack, no doubt
due to the sudden feedback from the sensor.  Slowly and quietly, the screen
began to lean forward.  It was very thin, but it was also definitely big.

'Eeep.'

Washu's last concious thought was that sometimes, wider was NOT better.





Chapter 1 end.



(1) I WISH I knew a restaurant where the owner WANTS me to eat for free.  I
am hungry, damn it!!

(2) NO, NOT THAT WAY YOU PERVERT!!  This is a crossover, NOT lemon, you
sicko!!

(3) To those who disagree with him, what are you, a machocist?

(4) Who did you expect?  This is Ranma crossover!

(5) Some people suggested that it would not be possible for Ami's computer
to pick up the goddesses' power.  Normally this would be true.  But right
now the goddesses are scanning the area for the mysterious power source of
unknown origin.  They are not releasing their full power, but it is strong
enough to perform the search, to protect them in an emergency.  2nd part is
especially true in this case because they have to protect helpless Keiichi
if anything happened.  Ami's computer is also from a magical origin, so it
can sense the goddesses' power.

(6) Better late than sorry, you know?


It's coming.  Be prepared for...

Stallion Chapter 2!!!!

< They are smart, but they ain't Sherlock. >
