Ranma SI

A Ranma 1/2-Sailor Moon X-over

Chapter 5

Warning: You must have some knowledge of the fifth series of Sailor Moon,
Sailor Stars, to fully understand and enjoy this fanfic, though those with
knowledge of the series up to Super S will probably also understand.

Disclaimer: None of the characters in this story belong to me. All of the
Ranma 1/2 characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi, and Shogokukan. All of the
Sailor Moon characters belong to Naoko Takeuchi, Toei Animation, and
Kodansha. The only ones that I own are the youma that I make up. Please
don't sue me. I'm poor. The only money I have is the $20 I just got for
mowing the lawn and I don't wanna lose it.

{Dear Mamoru,} Usagi began in her letter to her boyfriend, who had recently
left for America to go to college. She looked out the window of the small
cafe to see Ranma bounding away from Minako and Makoto, who both sulked
after his successful getaway. {How are you doing? I am doing pretty good,
of course. Oh, by the way, recently Makoto and the others have been crazy
over the new idol group, the three lights, and they are crazy over the new
exchange student from China, Ranma. The other day, there was a filming at
the Tenth Street Park. Minako said, "All of them are so cool! I'm going to
make them all my boyfriends!" But of course, I would never look at anyone
but you, Mamoru. Lots of love to you, Mamo-chan. Your love, Usagi} She
finally finished her note the next day at school, smiling as she finished
off the letter with a small, pink heart.

"Oh, a long distance relationship?" Makoto asked Usagi from over her
shoulder, making her blush and hide the note quickly.

"As they say, 'Whenever they want to see each other, they are closed.'"
Minako quoted, as Usagi, Makoto, and Ami sweatdropped.

"I think that may be wrong..." Ami pointed out.

As they all chatted, Ranma looked back for a moment. *Women.* Then
continued along his way to lunch, whistling a small tune to himself.

#####

Ranma sat under a tree at lunch, quietly eating out of a Bento that Rei had
made for him. *Geez. Finally I get a lunch to myself without those girls or
Sailor Pluto or some kind of new evil force coming and trying to kill the
Senshi or me.* He thought as he drank down his miso soup in one gulp, then
beginning on the rice.

As Ranma looked up into the sky, he began to let his mind wander. *You
know, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ever going to find a way home. I mean,
It's nice here and all, but I just don't know if I'd want to live here
forever.

*Or would you?* A portion of his brain asked, and Ranma mulled it over.

Ranma's eyes widened as a sudden idea came to him. *Wait a minute! Is this
really what I've always wanted? I mean, I know that everything hasn't
exactly been going peachy, but...*

And then Ranma remembered his thoughts from his first day in this alternate
universe...

(Cheesy flashback scene, Ranma is dodging traffic to get to the train
station, then sighs.)

*Sometimes I wonder if its all worth it. I mean, is getting beaten up,
harassed, and not having any privacy at all worth a couple of meals, a
roof, a bunch of rivals, and three fiancees? But then again, I guess I've
got no choice. With all the 'family honor' and crap, I can't do anything
about it...*

(End cheesy flashback.)

Ranma sat there, mulling those words over in his head. His thoughts were
interupted by the bell ringing, and he stood up and walked to class slowly,
teling himself that he would think this over later. #####

Ranma walked out of school at the end of the day, noticing that most people
were staying behing, and they all looked as if they were trying out for
different clubs.

Ranma walked by, generally not interested in joining any sort of club,
until he heard a voice.

"Ranma-San!"

Ranma groaned as Makoto ran up to him and smiled. "What do you want?" He
asked in an exasperated tone of voice.

"Aren't you going to try out for a club, too?"

"No, I really don't want to." Ranma replied, jumping over the schoolwall
and continuing on his way, ignoring the calls of 'wait!' from Makoto, and
continued on his way back to the temple.

Now, for some reason, Ranma can sence when he's about to be attacked. He
can dodge nearly anything anyone can throw at him. But there's one thing
that he can't dodge...

^Splash.^ "Hey, what was that for!?" The now wet Ranma-chan practicly
yelled at an old woman splashing the sidewalk with water.

"Eh?" She asked, feeling sure that this young lady was just a young man.

"Oh forget it." Ranma-chan huffed, stomping off.

The woman looked after her for a moment, then shrugged and continued on her
endless task of splashing the sidewalk with water.

#####

Seiya walked down the sidewalk, sighing at the memory of his meeting with
the girl with the odango-style hair.

"Still thinking about that girl you bumped into?" Yaten asked noncholantly.

"Maybe." He replied, still thinking.

"Well, stop it. We've got to focus on finding her." Taiki said, very
serious.

"I guess your rig... Yah!" Seiya exclaimed as he was knocked over by a
small redhead.

The redhead stood up and glared at him. "Hey, watch were you're going, you
moron!"

Seiya was taken aback by this. "What?"

"You heard me. Watch were you're walking!" The girl grumbled and walked
off, all of them staring at her.

"Did you feel that?" Taiki asked, dead serious.

Yaten nodded as he helped Seiya up. "Some kind of power. Do you think it
could have been..." He trailed off.

"No." Seiya quickly finished. "No, it was like hers, but different. It
wasn't the same, but I'm sure that I've felt something like that before..."
He thought, then shrugged. "But that's not important right now. We've got
to get going.

The three of them walked away, with Seiya taking one look back before
catching up to his two comrades.

#####

Setsuna had watched this ordeal and others, silently wondering why she was
spending so much time watching over him lately.

She sat there for a moment, then decided to check back into his past again
to find any more clues. She was suprised when out of the mists that was his
past, more pictures came out. One was of a small fire, with chestnuts
roasting in it. Another was of a tank full of Piranha, another still was a
vision of ice and fire resting on a spiral. And lastly, it showed a
television filled with static.

"I just don't get it." She mumbled. "None of these make sense. And why am I
getting more visions now? Could he be with those things that appeared
yesterday?" She asked herself, remembering back to the previous day when
that thing had attacked.

She could honestly think of no good answer to any of her questions, so she
just decided to keep watching for the time being.

#####

At Galaxy TV, in the Third Production Room, a pretty much abandoned room
except for the junk scattered over all of the desks and a turned on TV in
the corner with a young, short woman with pale purple hair flipping through
the channels, most showing athletic stars.

She sighed as she flipped through some more videos, passing by a boxer, a
skater, and a female wrestler before settling on a young football player.
"Hmmm... this looks good! Entry number 135... Yuji Kayama, the captain of
the American-style high school football club at the Tenth Street High
School. An expected star in American-style football league. I like his high
school student status, as well. I'll get him!" She finished, smiling to
herself until a phone rang, making her turn around.

She got up and sat down at her desk, and reached out to pick up the
phone...

But then reached for her bottom drawer and answered an ordinary black
phone. "Hi, third production room!" She answered, smiling.

"Producer Nezu, the president is calling you." A voice said on the other
side.

"Yes." She replied, becoming serious, then set down the phone, stood up,
and walked off.

She walked down what seemed to be a series of unused passageways, finally
coming to a stop before an old, boarded up elevator, with two boards
forming an X, and a sign reading, [prohibited use].

She seemed to pay no heed, though, and slid a card through a slot next to
the doors, causing them to open.

She walked under the boards and into he elevator as it closed. The elevator
whirred for a moment, then stopped and opened to the void mentioned in
chapter 4, Sailor Iron Mouse stepping out of the elevator and bowing to the
figure at the throne. "Did you summon me, Madam Galaxia?"

"Sailor Iron Mouse, did you find a true star seed?" The figure at the
throne answered in a powerful voice.

"A human with a more brilliant star seed has been found almost for sure."
Sailor Iron Mouse answered confidently.

"To rule all the galaxies, I need a true Star Seed as soon as possible!
I'll be expecting good news!" She answered, stone-faced.

"Yes, ma'am!" Sailor Iron Mouse replied, smirking.

#####

Ranma got up early as usual the next day, and after a normal morning at the
Hino temple, had headed off towards school. As he continued, he noticed
from a good ways off a bunch of women crowded at the front of the school,
all of them looking expectantly down the road. He scanned the crowd and
noticed Minako looking down the road, an excited expression on her face,
with Usagi, Makoto, Usagi, and Rei. Ranma blinked and looked again. *Wait,
I left before her...*

He shrugged and jumped on the last rooftop, bounding off and intending to
land in front of the hoard and continue on his way to school. Unfortunately
for him, a van pulled up and three guys stepped out, causing all of the
women assembled to scream, in joy of course.

Ranma then noticed that they were in his intended path and called out to
them. "Hey, get outta the way!"

#####

Usagi, Makoto, and Ami were all walking to school, then noticing that a
huge crowd of girls were gathered at the front gates, chatting excitedly.

"Minako-chan!" Usagi yelled, spotting her friend in the crowd. "What's up?"

"Don't you know? She asked, spinning around to face them. "As of today, the
Three Lights are transferring to our school!"

"No way..." Makoto began until a black van with a shooting star across the
side pulled up, and all of the girls began talking at once.

"See?" Minako asked, eyes sparkling with excitement.

"They really are here!" Rei said from behind Minako.

"Rei?" All of them asked at once.

"I want to see them, too." She answered, as if it was the most natural
thing in the world.

The van door opened, and the Three Lights stepped out, causing more excited
yells.

Just as Rei, Makoto, Minako, and Ami were about to walk up and greet them,
they all heard a cry from overhead. "Hey, get outta the way!"

The girls jumped back in suprise and looked up to see Ranma about thirty
feet in the air and dropping, flailing his arms about.

The Three Lights managed to jump out of the way as well as Ranma landed
gracefully, doing a flip before he landed.

"Whoo! I almost hit ya there! I'm Ranma Saotome. Sorry about that." Ranma
said as he bowed to the three, grinning stupidly. "Gotta head to class!"
Ranma said as he walked past the girls and jumped through the open third
story window of his classroom.

The Three Lights blinked. "Well... that was certainly different." Taiki
said, Yaten and Seiya nodding in agreement.

#####

"...So, these three have joined our class today." The teacher informed the
class, Minako and Makoto staring sparkly-eyed, Usagi looking in mild
interest, and Ranma sleeping. "So, please let them know whenever they
need." The teachers eyes scanned the room, frowning at Ranma, and spoke up.
"Well, I suppose that you can take any vacant seats."

"Hi, Yaten! This seat is vacant!" Minako said, slapping the desk next to
her.

Taiki took a seat in front of Makoto, and Seiya ended up taking a seat in
back of Usagi, next to Ranma. "I guess I'll take this one, then. Take it
easy, Odango!" He said, sitting down.

"My name is Usagi Tsukino!" She said in an annoyed voice.

"OK then, 'Odango' Tsukino." He said, making her fume.

"Now then, let's start class." The teacher said, then turned and began
teaching and writing on the board.

"Nice work, Usagi!" Minako said to her, giving the peace sign.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Seiya whispered to Usagi in a whisper, making her turn
around. "We want to join some clubs here. Do you know any?"

"I can show you around if you like!" Minako said out loud, suddenly there
by the desk.

"Hey, we're in the middle of class!" The teacher said, and Minako went back
to her seat.

"Can you show me around, too?" He asked Usagi.

"Don't be joking" She retorted, not turning around.

"Of course I can show you around!" Minako said, back again. "I can show you
around with Usagi and Ranma here!"

"Wha?" Usagi and Ranma asked, the latter awake instantaneously.

"Stop talking!" The teacher yelled, annoyed.

"Yes..." All of them said, Minako wandering back to her seat.

#####

Outside of the gates of the school, Producer Nezu (...All right! It's
Sailor Iron Mouse! Are you happy?!) glanced at the school, then smiled.
"This is it!"

#####

That day after school at the Basketball court, Seiya was blazing past the
competition, Usagi and Ranma watching with bored expressions, Minako
watching and cheering, and Makoto, Ami, Yaten and Taiki were just watching.

Seiya then faked around the person who was blocking him, jumped up in the
air and made a slam dunk, all the women watching going wild.

"He's great!" Minako said.

"He's cool!" Ami said.

"He's really great!" Rei agreed.

"Rei!" The rest of the Inners asked, suprised.

"How come you're here?" Usagi asked.

"I ran here from my school." She answered, blushing slightly.

"I don't see what's so great about him." Ranma said, still watching Seiya
beat the entire basketball team.

They all looked at him. "What do you mean, Ranma?" Ami asked.

"I mean, look. All these people are cheering him, and all you've gotta do
is put the ball in the hoop!" Ranma explained, resting on his arm when he
was done.

"So, do you think you could beat him?" Yaten asked, nonchalantly.

Ranma thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah. If I learned the rules and
all, I could wipe the floor with him."

"I don't think so." Taiki said, smirking.

Ranma turned to him, frowning. "Oh yeah? Tell me the rules." He said, and
all of them began explaining the rules, Usagi putting in something every
once in a while.

Now, you see, normally Ranma can have something explained to him fifty
times and still not get it. But when it involves Martial arts or a
challenge, he could memorize the dictionary three times over.

"All right then." He said, now knowing the rules.

Ranma hopped down onto the court, and Seiya turned around. "Hey, how about
a little one-on-one?" Ranma asked him.

Seiya turned to him and smiled. "Are you sure you can keep up with me?"

Ranma smirked. "Sure. But can you keep up with me?"

Seiya began dribbling the ball, and Ranma leapt forward, the women in the
stands cheering the two on.

Seiya smirked as Ranma leapt, and dived out of the way as he was about to
reach him, dribbling down court.

Ranma frowned. *This guy's pretty good.* He thought, then ran after him.

Seiya smirked. *This one's in the bag.* He lost his smirk as something
blurred in front of him, and the ball was gone.

Ranma dribbled down court, smirking. *Good, but not good enough!* Then at
half court, Ranma stopped and lobbed the ball. The ball bounced off the
backboard once, and it went in the basket. The crowd cheered.

Seiya walked up to Ranma and smiled, holding out his hand. "Kou Seiya."

"Ranma Saotome." He greeted, shaking his hand.

"You play a really good game out there, Saotome." Seiya said, looking
towards the basket.

Ranma winced at how he said, 'Saotome.' "Just call me Ranma, and thanks."
He replied.

Seiya smiled, then turned to the four girls. "Hey, Odango! What's next?" He
asked Usagi, and she grew visibly mad.

"Don't call me that! And I don't know!" Usagi said, thus bringing Minako,
Makoto, Ami, and Rei into this.

"Usagi!" All of them said at once, prompting for her to turn around.

"With our idol..." Rei began, the four of them huge, and Usagi
sweatdropping.

"...Seiya..." Ami filled in.

"...You can't talk like that..." Makoto added.

"...To him!" Minako finished.

"I guess I'll show him around then..." Usagi said weakly, then walked away
from them.

Meanwhile, though, Yaten and Taiki were looking at Ranma much differently
than the others.

"Did you see how he moved?" Yaten whispered to Taiki. "Yes. I've never seen
someone take the ball from Seiya so easily before. And the other day he
moved even faster." Taiki replied. "So, you think he could be..." Yaten
trailed off. "Too early to say. Let's just keep an eye on him for now, all
right?" Taiki asked, glancing to Ranma as he calmly walked off the
basketball court, then glancing back to Yaten. Their eyes met, and they
nodded in unison. #####

"Next is the American style football team." Usagi said, showing the field
where a group of men were busy playing a game of football.

"It perfectly matches a cool guy like me, doesn't it?" Seiya asked Usagi.

"I don't know!" She answered, sweatdropping.

Then, the ball was kicked loose and landed in front of Seiya.

"Hey, my chance!" He said, picking up the ball.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Usagi asked him.

"You want to see a touchdown, right?" Seiya asked, smiling.

"That's impossible! The football team at the Tenth Street High School is
strong!" Usagi said quickly, not wanting him to do anything stupid.

"We'll see!" Seiya replied, running out with the ball.

A couple of the team members tried unsuccessfully to tackle him as he
dodged in and out of the people. Usagi watched in silent wonder as the
other women watching chatted excitedly.

Seiya dodged out of the way of one particularly large man, the large man
then smiling.

"Oh! Something interesting's coming!" He said, and picked up his pace.

"I got it!" Seiya said, only about ten yards from the goal. Just as he was
about to reach the goal though, the huge guy caught up to him and slammed
into him, knocking Seiya down. *It can't be!* Seiya thought as he was sent
sprawling.

"Seiya!" Usagi yelled, then ran up to him, then turned to the large man,
frowning. "Hey, you! What are you thinking? You've tackled an amateur who's
not wearing any protection!"

The larger man paused, then held out his hand to Seiya, shaking his hand
and then helping him up. "Captain Kayama."

"You're a big man! Incredible power!" Seiya complimented him.

"And you did well against our whole team!" Kayama complimented back.

"Well, It's really not that great..." Seiya replied.

"So... how about joining?" Kayama asked.

"Sure!" He answered, smiling.

"Hey, wait a minute! Why do you want to join with a wild man like this?"
Usagi asked, confused.

"It's a guy thing, Odango. You wouldn't understand." Seiya responded,
waving her off.

Usagi just nodded as the two talked.

#####

Captain Kayama walked to the back of the field and stuck his head under the
faucets, washing away all of the sweat and grime, then stood up and began
to walk off.

"Captain Kayama of the Tenth Street High Football Team, I presume?" A voice
asked from behind him, making him turn around.

He faced the short, light-purple headed woman standing behing him. "Yes,
that's me." He replied. "What do you need?"

"Oh, I knew it was you when I first saw you. After all, who else yould have
muscles as smooth and defined as this?" She asked, moving a finger up and
down his arm.

He blushed. "Well.. I've really got to get going..."

"Oh, that's all right. I only needed to see you for a moment anyway..." She
said, then hopped back and threw off her overgarments, revealing the Sailor
fuku underneath.

"Wha... What?" He asked, taking a step back.

"Now just be good and give me your star seed!" Sailor Iron Mouse said,
lifting up her braclets and firing a pair of golden energy balls, both of
which flew up and slammed into both sides of him.

He screamed, and then was cut off as the star seed came out. She held her
breath, hoping for a pure, then sighed as it turned black.

"Oh well. I guess I'd better get going..." She said, shrugging and turning
around and beginning to walk off.

"Stop!" A voice yelled from up above, making her look up in suprise.

#####

Ranma walked away from the locker rooms, where he had changed from his red
chinese shirt to a white Chinese shirt he had bought recently.

*Well, he wasn't half bad. He wasn't half good compared to me, but not half
bad.* Ranma thought to himself, smiling continently.

Ranma stopped as he heard a scream from the other side of the building.
After a moment of thought, he dropped his bag and jumped to the roof of the
building, and saw the same woman from yesterday standing in front of
another guy, and this guy had the same strange crystal floating above his
head.

She shrugged and began to walk off until Ranma spoke up. "Stop!"

She looked up at him in suprise, then looked annoyed. "You again? Well, I
don't have time to deal with you so..."

"Stop! How dare you do this to a young man so much into sports? I can't
forgive you! Agent of love and justice, pretty Sailor Senshi..." She made
the motions in the air. "Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I will
punish you!"

Sailor Iron Mouse looked at the two of them and then smiled. "Well, well.
Two on one. That's not fair. Why don't you play with them, Sailor Guts?"
She asked the prone form of Kayama, then stepped into a phone booth that
appeared behind her, waved and disappeared.

The star seed crackled, then wrapped Kayama in dark energy, then finally
dispersed, leaving Kayama... except that he had a Sailor fuku on. {Ohhh.
Bad mental image.} "Sailor Guts!"

Both Ranma and Sailor Moon sweatdropped.

"A man's good looks is based off of three things! Body...Muscle...and
Guts!" Sailor Guts said, flexing his muscles.

"Whatever. Just stand still and let me kick your ass!" Ranma yelled,
leaping down at him.

"You dare disturb a man's beauty? You must pay!" Sailor Guts concentrated,
and sweat appeared all over his arms, then went into his hands as a big
ball of sweat. "Youth Perspiration attack!" He yelled, heaving them at
Ranma.

Ranma barely dodged the first one, but he second hit him square in the
chest, knocking him back and covering him in sweat.

"Sailor Moon! Are you all right?" Sailor Mars asked as she and the rest of
the Inners ran up to Sailor Moon.

"I'm fine, but I'm not so sure about Ranma over there." She said, pointing
towards the groaning and drenched Ranma.

"Well, more to disturb a man's inner beauty! You must also be puni..."

"You stupid bastard! This was a brand new shirt!" Ranma yelled, his battle
aura blazing brightly. "I'll make you pay for that!"

"Huh?" Sailor Guts asked about ten seconds before he got his ass kicked.

All the Inners sweatdropped. "Ummm, are we needed here?" Sailor Jupiter
asked.

Ranma jumped away from the beaten Sailor Guts. "All right, Sailor Moon, do
your little wand thingy." He said, and began to walk away.

Sailor Guts growled and built up another ball of sweat in his hand, and
reared back to throw it.

"Star Serious Laser!" A voice yelled, followed by a laser crashing through
the ball of sweat.

"It's them again!" Sailor Moon said, pointing up to the starlights.

"Step away, Sailor Moon." Sailor Star Fighter said, stepping forward and
leveling her star thing at Sailor Guts.

"No!" Sailor Moon yelled, stepping in between them. "Let me try to heal
him, please! I won't abandon him to this fate! I'll heal him for sure!" She
said, in a begging tone.

Sailor Star Fighter hesitated for a moment, then lowered her star locket.
"All right. One chance."

Sailor Moon nodded, and lifted up her staff.
"Starlight...Honeymoon...Therapy...Kiss!"

Once again, the healing waves washed over the phage, only giving it enough
time to yell, "Beautiful!" Before it turned back into Captain Kayama, who
collapsed after his star seed went back in.

Sailor Moon looked up to say something to the Starlights, but they were
already gone.

Ranma looked down from atop the school. *Why did that other Senshi help
me?* He wondered before he picked up his bag and waked off, muttering about
washing his shirt five times when he got back home.

#####

Galaxia sat high upon her throne, contemplating on the scene she had just
observed. She wasn't worried about the failure of the mission, but more on
that boy and the large amount of power he had let off just a moment ago.

"But... is that the full extent of his power..." She turned to view him
walking home from school. "Or is this just the tip of his little iceberg?"
She asked, and chuckled to herself as she dissipated the viewing globe.

#####

Next time on Ranma SI!

The return of Haruka and Michiru!

A love triangle?

And... is Galaxia getting fed up?
