Sometimes the past should remain where it belongs, in the long

distance day of old, remembered by a few. Sometime, it needs to be brought into the light of the present. Of course, that is up to you to decide.

Remember to choose wisely. You must remember that even though the past is gone, it will always effect you life and future.

Story – Chapter One

Ranma looked in the Tendo Dojo and saw the whole group in there, even the old ghoul and the shrunken pervert. He moved closer to hear what they were talking about.

“So child. You said that a green haired woman kidnap son-in-law.” Cologne said. The lighting was hit her in a way that made her look her older than possible. Ranma could swear he see every wink and line on the old woman’s face.

Ukyo nodded. “Was anything else wrong.” Cologne asked. Cologne leaned forward and stared intensely at Ukyo. Ukyo felt as small as a cockroach.

“Well, Ranchan had a patch of green hair. It look natural while his black hair looked like a messy dye job.” Ukyo said. Everyone glared at Genma. Once again Genma could sense the his family and his own honor in question.

But instead of letting his family take the blame for it, Genma wasn’t going to back down and stood up for his wife. It was more out of habit than thought. If Genma thought about it, he might have accused his wife of cheating on him so he can milk it for all it worth.

“Are you sure that Ranma is your son, or did you lose the real one and kidnapped someone else.” Happosai said with his eyes narrowing. Many people believed that Genma wasn’t Ranma’s father. The theories were that Genma lost the real Ranma and kidnap a look-a-like or Nodoka was unfaithful.

With Genma’s record, it was the former than the latter that was

believed more. “He is my son. He was born with green hair but we dyed black since he was four.” Genma defended himself.

People sighed. Either he was lying, or Nodoka was unfaithful.

Either way, Genma couldn’t be the father because no one in Genma or Nodoka’s family had green hair other then Ranma.

“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, MY SON-IN-LAW IS GONE! THE SCHOOLS WE’LL NEVER BE UNITED!“ Soun cried. The tears flowed from him like a waterfall.

“Shampoo will save Airen. Shampoo show Airen that Shampoo is the most worthy.“ Shampoo said out. She stood up and walk to the door when she was forced to duck a small flying spatula.

“No way you Chinese hussy. Ranchan will be saved by me and me alone.” Ukyo said and brought forward her huge combat spatula to attack.

“If Spatula Girl want to fight Shampoo, then Spatula Girl fight Shampoo.” The purple hair Amazon said as she pulled out her Bonbori seemly out of midair.

Ukyo leapt at her with a power slash attack, but Shampoo ducked and swing at her wildly. Ukyo bought up her combat spatula to block. The clang was deafening Both Shampoo and Ukyo was too locked in combat to notice that someone else creeping closer to them.

Happosai had got excited by Shampoo jumping around. “Sweeto.” Was his cry as he flung himself towards Shampoo. He was stopped by a wooden staff in the face. Cologne looked disgusted at Happosai and attacked even further. Happosai countered with a throw, but Cologne reversed it and sent the old pervert flying over Mousse and Ryoga. Cologne quickly followed and continue battle with Happosai.

Mousse and Ryoga was dancing in a circle with there arms linked. “Ranma is gone. Ranma is gone. Our loves are free. Our loves are free.” Was there song that went with their weird happy dance.

Akane got up and walked away. “Akane, where are you going.”

Kasumi asked as she tried to sweep up the mess that was being created by the uninvited guests that came.

“To see the look on that baka’s face when I save him.” Akane said. Then she jump back a spiked club entered the space that her face recently had occupied a moment ago.

“Kodachi. What are you doing you psychopath?” Akane asked as she slipped into defensive stance. Kodachi smiled a wicked grin as she looked at her opponent.

“Only I have the right to save Ranma-sama. Not a pathetic commoner like you, you cheap harlot.” Kodachi Kuno said. She shift into a more offensive stance.

“Okay you lunatic, come on.” Akane said as she charged. Akane throw a punch, and Kodachi ducked under the attack and came with a viscous spike club towards Akane’s gut. Akane was able to dodge out of the way at the last moment.

“What a truly great day this is. Now the fierce Tigress and pigtail girl will be free from…” Tatewaki usually rant was cut off after a panda sign marked “Quiet” hit him in the head and render him unconscious.

Nabiki was busy trying to find a new source of income since Ranma was gone and she left to call some contacts if Ranma doesn‘t come back. Then things got worse.

Ranma opened his eyes and he was once again in the apartment

bedroom with Setsuna looking at him with a bemused look on her face.

“So Ranma, your friends are very interesting. Are you going back to them my son.” Setsuna asked. Ranma frown at the idea of him going back to that insanity. It was a Living Hell that no creature should suffer.

“No mother. Can I stay with you for awhile” Ranma asked. He felt some relief that she smiled at him. Even more when she nodded.

“Of course my son. I’ll arrange things.” Setsuna said. She was planning to do so anyways. No way was she going to leave her son in such a mad house.

“They’re going to find me eventually, don’t they.” Ranma asked,

fearing the answer. Hoped against hope. He pray her answer will not be what he most likely expect to hear.

“You don’t need my answer on that.” Pluto said. Ranma’s shoulders slumped and he hung his head. During certain moments in his life, he hated his life and burdens. And this was one of them.

“Mother, what about my curse.” Ranma asked. “I’ve alter it and give you some control so I could have a proper heir.” She said. Ranma willed his curse to change his genders. He felt the change to female and looked in to the mirror.

She was wearing something like her old uniform except with a skirt instead of pants. Her hair was green instead of red. Her breasts seemed to be slightly larger than normal. She also didn’t shrink as much. She also realized she looked older. Like in her early twenties.

“I see that you made me into the heir that you really wanted.”

Ranma said. “You don’t expect me to wear an seifuku when you pass

mantle of Sailor Pluto to me.” Ranma asked.

“It is the proper armor for a Sailor Scout. Now that you are part-time female, expect to wear it when you replace me.” Pluto said.

“Fate can be so cruel.” Ranma muttered. How can any male be destined to wear seifuku for the rest of his life?

“That it can be my son. Or should I be calling you daughter in that form.” Pluto asked. The Senshi of time refrain from snickering at her son’s face.

“Mother, I would prefer that you call me son. I still like to think of myself as a man. Present form not withstanding.” Ranma said.

“Okay, my child.” Pluto said as she moved next to her female son. They look alike in the mirror. Pluto looked like she was Ranma’s sister than mother.

“The outers are going to be here soon.” Setsuna said. Please don’t ask Ranma. Please don’t ask about here, Setsuna Prayed. But unfortunately, fate was against her.

“So, Aramas will be here.” Ranma said. “Is she still in love with Neptune.” Ranma was hoping against hoping. She prayed that she had another chance with Aramas.

“Yes Ranma. She still loves Neptune.” Setsuna said. Ranma hung her head. She always envied Neptune. Sailor Uranus was his first crush. Yeah, fate was cruel all right. He remembered the day his heart was crushed.

Flashback – The Moon Palace (Ranma first person style [Ranma

act as narrator in the flashback.])

The halls were silent on that day. No guards, no servants, just her and me. I was fifteen years old and she was eighteen. Aramas had finally inherited the mantel of Sailor Uranus from her mother.

We were fencing with rapiers. I prefer broadswords but Aramas want to practice. We stopped for a break. We sat and looked at Earth. It was beautiful. “Ranma, how much do you know about my life.” She asked me.

“Not much. With mom training me to be Pluto’s Knight, Guardian of the Gates of Time, and my training as a mage, I don’t have that much time to hear about your life.” I said.

“Ranma, I know that you have a crush on me. I’m honored that you like me-” Aramas said. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. She knew. “But I have a lover already.” She finished.

I felt ill at that moment. This couldn’t be worse. “Who the lucky guy.” I asked so I could beat the guy senseless. Life was so unfair to him.

“Ranma, it not a man. My lover is the newly appointed Sailor Neptune.” She told me. I was so wrong. It was worse. No way this could get any worse.

“You’re not ugly or anything. But I prefer women. If you were a girl, you might have gotten a chance.” Aramas told me. “I see. I’ll leave you alone now Aramas.” I said as I left.

A girl she said. If I were only a girl she would have like me. I hate my life. My mother had a better chance at getting Aramas then me. Maybe I should go girl hunting with Jed tomorrow after all.

End Flashback

“So what’s her name now.” Ranma asked. “They are named Haruka and Michiru now Ranma. They also adopted Sailor Saturn who is now called Hotaru.” Setsuna said.

Ranma walk to the window and looked upon the world. “That’s nice. Squirt was always alone. They’d take good care of her.” Ranma said as he remembered Sailor Saturn.

It still hurt her. She really did love Aramas, but she never had a

chance. Ranma eventually got over her and met Venus. But that hadn’t worked. Sora had warned Ranma it was doomed to failure, but Ranma didn’t believe her.

Her eyes widen as she remembered something. “Mother, did Sora survive the attack on the Moon Palace?” Ranma asked her mother.

“Yes, she was sent forward as well.” Setsuna replied. Setsuna was wondering went Ranma was going to bring Sora up.

“When are we going to awaken her memories?” Ranma asked. It will be great to have someone to talk to again.

“Tomorrow, on her birthday so that she’ll be the right age.” Setsuna said. “Good. It’ll be nice for me to talk to one of my old friends again.” Ranma said.

Setsuna spend the rest of the day catching Ranma up with recent

Sailor activities.

Haruka carrying the sleeping Hotaru walked by her love, Michiru. They stop right in front of the their door. Michiru opened the door and stepped inside their home and was shortly followed by Haruka and Hotaru.

Haruka put Hotaru in Hotaru’s room while Michiru when to

Setsuna’s room to ask the Guardian of the gates of time something. If she were lucky, Pluto would be there.

“They are here Ranma.” Pluto told Ranma whom was still in

female form. Ranma sat on the chair while Setsuna sat on her bed. Just then, someone knocked on the door.

“Setsuna, are you home.” Michiru voice asked from across behind the door. Show time. Let the first victim in, Setsuna thought warily

“Come in, Michiru.” Setsuna said. The door opened to reveal Michiru. Michiru had blue hair, pale skin, and wearing a brown jacket, brown shirt, and green skirt.

“Hello Setsuna.” Michiru said to Ranma. “I wanted to…know…if…” The words died when Michiru realized that Setsuna was sitting on her bed. But then who was the Setsuna in the chair. And why did she have grayish blue eyes.

“Michiru, meet my child, Ranma.” Setsuna said. “Hello.” Ranma greeted Michiru. The color drained from Michiru’s face.

“Hello. Can you excuse me, I feel ill. I need to rest.” Michiru excuse herself and left. Ranma wondered what cause a reaction like that.

Michiru walked out the room entered her room and fell on her bed. “That was a interesting reaction.” Ranma said. Then a blond woman dressed in men clothes walked in front of the door.

“Oh, there you are Setsuna.” Haruka said as she walked inside. “I just want to…know…if…” Haruka’s words died in her mouth. She blinked. There were two Setsuna. And one had gray-blue eyes.

“Hello. It is good to see you again.” Ranma said. Ranma looked at the stunning beautiful Sailor Uranus in civilian form. She looked as lovely as ever expect the color drained from her face.

“Haruka this is Ranma. Ranma here is my child.” Setsuna said. And victim two has the same results too, Setsuna thought.

“I’ll be leaving now.” Haruka said as she left the room and went to her room. She flopped on to the bed next to Michiru.

“Setsuna has…” Haruka begun. “…A daughter.” Michiru finished for her. “When did Miss Ice Queen get a daughter?” Haruka asked. “If Setsuna was the mother, who the father?” Michiru asked.

They went to tried to go to sleep and hope this was some weird

dream. Setsuna having a daughter was so surreal. That was like the sign the world was coming to an end. Michiru fell asleep quickly, tried from today’s earlier events. But Haruka remained awake to pondered what going on.

Setsuna seemed so unemotional. So distance. Could it all been a mask. All the time when Setsuna disappeared she always thought Setsuna went to the gates of time. But could she have been going to her lover.

All this think about Setsuna’s life was giving Haruka a headache. All she knew about someone that she considered a friend was a lie. She always thought Setsuna was a unemotional woman.

But her having a daughter had shattered that thought. She

wondered what other things could Setsuna could be hiding. Haruka

eventually fell asleep.

“I’ll sleep on the floor mother.” Ranma said. She turned to look for her mother to find that she disappeared. Ranma shrugged and went to bed. She magically changed her clothes into a red shirt and shorts. She went in female form so if the other come in, they won’t attack her.

Before Ranma could go to sleep, she heard someone open the door. It was a small child clutching a teddy bear. “Hotaru?” Ranma asked.

“Setsuna-mama I had nightmare that you were kidnapped.” Hotaru said. She hated nightmares. She especially hated those involving her family. She was glad went she saw the Senshi of Pluto on the bed.

“I’m not Setsuna.” Ranma said. Hotaru looked at Ranma and saw her eyes. They were a grayish blue color. Hotaru backed slowly away, fearing her dream was reality.

“I am shocked that you don’t remember me Squirt.” Ranma said. Hotaru had all her memories from the Silver Millennium. Only one person called her that name.

“Rammie?” Hotaru asked. Ranma willed her change and she felt body change into his male form.

“Yeah. It me Squirt.” Ranma said. “Rammie.” Hotaru cried out loud as she plowed into Ranma. Hotaru glomped on to him and hugged him with all her might. “I take that you miss me huh.” Ranma said as he hugged her back.

“I thought you died impaled on Jadeite’s sword.” Hotaru asked. “It take more than impaling me to get rid of me.” Ranma said.

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!” Michiru screamed

from the doorway. Ranma looked up and saw Haruka and Michiru glare at him. “Umm, I can explain this,” Ranma said, “really.” Michiru and Haruka stomped closer to kill him and…
