AN- Konnichiwa minna!!!!!! I want to thank everyone who reviewed the last chapter of this story!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arigato!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, I guess I should have mentioned this in the last chapter but I guess I forgot. I know that Nerima is not that far away from Tokyo and should get there by train but I wanted Usagi, Ranma, and the Fushigi Yugi crew to meet at the airport, ok? audience and readers all nod their heads. Good. I would also like to thank Jimbo for telling me that 100 yen equals 1 dollar. Now on with this next chapter!!!!!!!!!!

DISCLAIMER- I do not own Sailor Moon, Ranma, or Fushigi Yugi.



Chapter 2-

"Bunny!!!!! Wake up!!!!!!!!!"

"Just a few….more minutes……kaasan. Need….more….sleep…" The blonde teenager mumbled.

"It's 7:35 already!!!!!!!!!"

Usagi's eyes immediately open and she jumped out of bed taking Ranma by surprise who stumbled back a couple of feet.

"Luna!!!!!!!!! Why didn't you wake me up?!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna be sooooooo late!!!!!!!!!!! Haruna-sensei is goin' to give me detention again!!!!!!!!!!!!" She immediately grabs her uniforms and starts to undress herself. She is somehow still unaware that someone else is in the room with her. Ranma quickly turns around, "Bunny!!!!!! "

"Ahhhh!!!!! Ranma!!!! How did you get in here?!!! " She quickly shields herself with her shirt, her face redder than ever, shocked and embarrassed. Sure it was her cousin but it still is a guy ya know though he is half girl,….kinda…… hehehehehe….. …^-^….

"Uhh…. I'll wait for you outside until you're done. " And he quickly runs out the door as the door slams shut behind him. Usagi gets her thought back on going to school on time and finishes dressing 2 seconds flat. She then leaves the room to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth and also does her hair up in the usual odango style. She runs down the stairs and saw Ranma sitting on the couch, waiting for her.

"……I was the one to wake you up, not Luna. She still hasn't come back since last night. "

*Oh yea. Guess I forgot.* Usagi thought.

"Aunt Ikuko already enrolled me in your school and I'm in your class. "

"But you're a year older than me. Aren't you supposed to be in 10th grade? "

That's what I thought too but they said that since my birthday is in December, which is near the end of the year, I have to be in 9th grade…" AN- I don't know when Ranma's birthday is so I made it up.

"Ok. Now let's get to school before Haruna-sensei gets even more mad!!!!! " Grabbing her book bag, she pulled Ranma's hand who he was wearing his usual red chinese shirt and black pants and dashed out the door.

"Bunny!! Slow down!!! I've got a better idea that will get us to school faster!!! "

Usagi immediately skidded to a stop. "How?! "

"Ok. You've got to trust me, ok? "

Usagi quickly nodded and Ranma came up to her and carried her like how you'd carry a child. "Ra…Ran….ma. What are you doing? " Her face turned red again and his did too but they tried to hide it. AN- oh, yea. No, they do not like each other!! Put yourself in their position. I think you'd probably do the same…

"Hold on tight. " She did as she was told and he held her tight too and took off into the air jumping onto the rooftop and jumped from house to house

"Ranma!!!!!!!!! Did I ever tell you that I was afraid of heights?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " She screamed with all her might, both forgetting about what happened earlier. He finally stopped in front of school and put the shaking Usagi down.

"Bunny!!! Did you have to scream so loud?!!!!! I'm gonna get deaf at this rate!!!!"

"Anno, you could've told me that you were gonna do that!!!!!!….. Let's just get to class…"

Both got to the classroom as Haruna-sensei finished taking roll. They stepped into the room to see a fumed sensei standing there tapping her foot, a deep frown on her face. "Tsukino-san!!!! Late…… again!!!!!! Detention for two hours this time!!!!!! " Everyone giggled at this. Well, except for the eight new students that sat down at their seats who were whispering to each other.

"Demo, Haruna-sensei!!!!! I--!"

"Sensei. Usagi was helping me enroll into this school and helping me find my classroom. " Ranma covered for her.

"Is that true, Tsukino-san?!! " Usagi quickly nodded. "Fine! Usagi! Go and quickly take your seat…" Usagi obeyed and walked to her seat, her head lowered as everyone giggled again. "Now… Will the eight new students please come up and introduce your selves to everyone? "

The eight new students got up from their seats and walked up to the front of the classroom. Usagi finally noticed them, "Oi!! Its you guys!!! " pointing to them.

"Great to see you again, Usagi." they all said.

Makoto tapped Usagi on the shoulder and Usagi turned around. "What is it, Mako-chan? "

"How do you know them, Usagi-chan? " Mako whispered back.

"Kino-san!! Tsukino-san!!! Pay attention!!!!! "

Usagi and Mako slumped in their seats feeling ashamed and mumbled, "Hai, Haruna-sensei…"

"Tell ya later. " Usagi whispered without looking back.

"You may begin. " The sensei said.

"Anno….we all just moved here from Osaka, our home-town. " Miaka lied. "Watashi wa Miaka Yuki. Nice to meet minna! "

"I'm Tamahome. Nice to meet everyone too. " AN- I don't know their last names and it doesn't exactly matter whether they say it or not so I'm just gonna say their Suzaku seishi names…

"Hotohori. I hope I enjoy it here. "

"Nuriko. It's a pleasure. "

"Chichiri, no da. " nods.

"I'm Mitsukake. " nods too.

The bandit scoffed, "Tasuki. "

"And I'm Chiriko. Good to meet everyone also. " The youngest one said.

"Anno….. Aren't you a little…..young to be in this class, Chiriko? " Haruna-sensei asked.

"He may be young but the principle said that he was to be in this class because of his brains, no da. " The monk replied.

"Ohhh…. And you? " She asked the last one.

"Ranma Saotome, from Nerima and also…. Usagi's cousin. "

Ami, Mako, Rei AN-hai. Rei. and the sensei shouted, "Usagi's cousin???!!!!!!!"

*Oh, no!! Please not another Usagi in here!!!…….Hmm…. He doesn't seem to act like Usagi though……* Haruna-sensei thought.

"Odango atama!!! When were you gonna tell us this?!!!!" The raven- haired miko exclaimed.

"Don't call me odango atama, you pyro!!!!! Besides, he just got here yesterday!!!!" She shouted back at her friend. Grandpa Hino finally agreed that Rei could go to a public school instead of a private one so she enrolled in Juuban High like the rest of the senshis two weeks ago.

"Settle down you two!! " They stuck their tongues out at each other and then settled down. "Now that introductions are made, everyone get to your seats. Ranma, you can sit on one side of Maika. Tamahome sit on the other side of Miaka and next to Usagi. Hotohori can sit in front of Ranma, Nuriko on the other side of Usagi, Mitsukake and Chichiri in front of Ami and Rei, and Tasuki and Chiriko in front of Usagi and Tamahome.… "

Ranma glanced at Miaka out of the corner or his eye and she did the same. *She's pretty… Thank Kami she's not like Shampoo, Ukyou, Kodachi or any of them…* *He's kawaii… Urusai, Miaka!! You love Tamahome and he loves you!!!…… But why does it seem as if we are drifting more and more apart from each other ever since we came to my world?… Maybe we aren't meant for each other as we thought and I don't feel the same way about him anymore either……* Tamahome and Usagi also stole a glance and each other. *Tamahome- kun really is kawaii…… I wonder Mamo-chan is doing right now. And why doesn't he respond to my letters…… I love him but does he really love me?…* *She's beautiful……… I feel as if me and Miaka aren't meant to be any more…. How do the both feel about me?…* The quartet blush when they realized that they had been staring. Miaka met Tamahome's eyes and they had a feeling the other was thinking the same thing as them. They didn't feel the same about each other any more and they knew that it would soon be over between them…

~ Lunch ~

The lunch bell finally rang, as Haruna-sensei was just finishing up yelling at Usagi…again for sleeping in class. Miaka, for once, wasn't sleeping in class because Ranma was next to her. She knew it was going to be a great school year.

Usagi quickly dumped her work in her book bag, "Come on guys!! It's lunch!!! I'm starving!!!! I didn't have anything for breakfast!!! "

The senshis and Ranma groaned while they put their things in their book bag at regular human rate. "Oi, Maika!!! Minna!!!! You guys wanna sit with us? "

"Anno….. You guys go on ahead first. We'll catch up with you guys in a sec! " Nuriko said.

"Ok!! Come on minna!!!!! I'm really, really hungry!!!!!! "

"Hold your horses, odango!!!! "

The group followed the cheerful Usagi out the door and the Suzaku seishi and their miko were now the only ones in the room.

"So where are we supposed to find this Sailor Moon, Miaka? " Hotohori asked.

"Well like I said, Sailor Moon only appears when there's a yoma around and she's here to stop it from destroying the city and protect the innocent. We have to wait until a yoma appear and then she'll show herself since we do not know her real identity. I never saw her in person but I have seen her pictures before. " She looks through her book bag and takes out a picture of Sailor Moon in super form. "Here. "

She hands the picture to the group and Hotohori takes it as the group gathers around him and stares in awe.

"She's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen considering the fact that I am the most beautiful man in the whole world…" Hotohori praised himself as everyone frowns and sweatdrops.

"She is beautiful and like an angel too. " Tamahome said and everyone nods. *Just like Usagi……*

"The old hag said she'd be the one to help me, ne? " Tasuki asked

"Umm hmm… But I think Tuxedo Kamen is sooooo kawai!!!!! "

"Who's he? " Nuriko asked and again, Miaka searched through her book bag but she took out a picture of Tuxedo Kamen this time and gave it to them to see. "Tuxedo Kamen helps the sailor senshis fight the yomas by throwing roses in the nick of time. He also always saves Sailor Moon by sweeping her off of her feet and flies in the air…. *sighs happily*.. I wish that would happen to me…. It's sooooooo romantic…… *hearts in her eyes*..."

"That's all he does?… Throw roses?…" Nuriko and Tasuki asked annoyed and unimpressed.

"Oi!!! Don't talk about Tuxedo Kamen like that!!! He is after all such a dashing and mysterious super hero!!! Demo sighs…… there has been rumors that he and Sailor Moon are an item…"

For some odd reason, Tamahome felt as if his heart was crushed by a big giant stone and it hurt so much. He gripped his chest and leaned forward in pain.

"Tamahome!!! " They all yelled anxiously.

"Tamahome! Daijoubu ka?! What's wrong?! Mitsukake! Please heal him!! " Sure she didn't feel the exact same way she did like before but he still is her friend and she'd still and always help him no matter what.

"Iie, daijoubu…" He let go of his shirt as the pain slowly disappeared and he smiled like nothing ever happened. "The pain is gone…"

"Weird… What gave him that sudden pain? Mitsukake wondered out loud.

"Come on, I'm fine! Now let's get back to business. "

"Say no da,……… Did you guys notice something familiar about that Sailor Moon girl, no da? "

Everyone looked at Chichiri with confused looks, "Huh? Nani? "

"She looks almost or probably exactly like Usagi, no da…"

"Oi!! You're right!!! " Miaka exclaimed.

"Could that female actually be Sailor Moon? " Tasuki snorted.

"Of course that's possible!! " Nuriko burst out. Then he snickered and mumbled, "I mean, Miaka here is the Suzaku no miko so it's possible…"

Tamahome and Tasuki grinned and laughed at that and soon Nuriko joined them. Miaka fumed, ready to blow any minute. She pushed up her sleeves of her uniform and grabbed the nearest table next to her. "Yaahhhhhhh!!!!!!! " WHAM!! The table hit all three Suzaku seishis right in the face and went flying back into the wall creating three craters that shaped exactly like their bodies. The other seishis smiled and chuckled at that while Miaka smirked in triumph. The trio had swirls in their eyes and a very flat face as they slid to the ground with a thud.

"Did you have to hit so hard!!!!! " Tamahome and Nuriko screamed to Miaka's when he immediately jumped up from the floor.

"This is one of the reasons why I hate onnas!!! " Tasuki yelled and scowled afterwards.

"So the only way we find Sailor Moon is when she shows up" Hotohori asked.

"Umm hmm... But we could keep an eye on Usagi since she could be Sailor Moon…"

"But it might, no…. it will take forever if we are gonna keep sitting around and waiting like this!!!……. " Tasuki complained. "…….Besides, why do we even need an onna to help us anyway…"

Nuriko hit him on the head, "Because Taiitsukun said our powers aren't enough to beat the Seriyuu seishi now that they have a new and very strong emperor that's even stronger than Nakago, you baka!!! "

"We've got to hurry and look for her. Even though Taiitsukun made exact replicas of us as substitutes, I'm still not that convinced that Konan will be safe, no da….. We've still got to go to Hokkan Country and get the Shinzaho since the ceremony to summon Suzaku failed, no da. " AN- guess who. That's right! Chichiri said.

Tasuki yelled, "Yea, but I still don't know why we have to go to school!! "

"Miaka said already! In this world, people our age go to school. If we don't want anybody to get suspicious or the cops to cause us trouble for not being in school then we have to!! " Tamahome explained.

"Now can we eat?!! My stomach's been growling for some time already!!!! "

"Yea, me too. Let's go! " said Chiriko.

~ Outside ~

"Oi, Miaka-chan!!!! Minna-chan!! Over here!!! " Usagi called and waved from where she sat, which was under a shady tree by her friends.

"Oi, Usagi!!! Come on guys!! " She motioned for the others to follow her and they did so.

"Konnichiwa minna!!! "

"Hi, Usagi! "

"Good to see you guys again. " Ranma said.

"You too Ranma. "

Then Mako lightly nudged her blonde best friend in the side. "Huh?……. What is it, Mako-chan? "

"Introduce us, dummy. "

"Oh right, gomen. Heehee… Minna, these are my friends, Makoto Kino, Ami Mizuno, that pyro here is Rei Hino, and Min…na…….."

All the senshis smiles immediately changed to sad faces when Usagi said the name Mina, who had died only a couple of days ago because a couple of middle aged men jumped her trying to steal her money when she refused to give them so. Her parents were with her at that time and had died too because the men had knives and guns with them. Tears filled Usagi's eyes but never did they flow down her soft, creamy, and beautiful face. The other senshis tried to hold the sorrow back by turning away from the group.

"What's wrong, Bunny? " a concerned Ranma asked.

Usagi quickly wiped her tears away and put on a smile on her face and sniffed. "Uh…nothing, nothing. Just got a little dirt in my eye, that's all. "

Everyone else had concern expressions on their faces too but didn't way a word to the depressed girls. *What would make them so sad when Usagi mentioned the other name? Something bad must've happened to the other person….* Both Tamahome and Ranma thought. Then only Usagi heard another one of her best friend's voice and turned her face in that direction. They scream wasn't that loud because it was on the other side of the field but for some odd reason, Usagi seemed to hear it.

"Oi!! Let go!!! Give me back my book bag and my money!!!!! "

"Give her back her stuff!!! " She heard her other friend yell. Usagi saw Naru being bullied by the six biggest jocks of the school who were seniors as they threw her book bag back and forth, messing with her while her and Umino helped Naru try to get it. Then Umino actually punched the toughest guy, Brad, who was the leader of the crew. He had dark brown hair that were spiked up, chestnut brown eyes, and a muscle built body. Actually all the baka jocks had muscle built bodies. The one that had sandy blonde with dark green eyes was named Jeff. Tow of them had black hair, the one that combed his hair back and had a dark tan was named Tony and the other was known as Michael but everyone called him Mike. The last two had very, very dark blue hair mixed with black but the taller of the two had ebony black eyes while the other had violet blue eyes. Mark and Eddie. Those were those two's names. All of them were pretty much the same height with little difference and were about as tall as Mamoru. They wore tight muscle shirts with dark colored jeans and a blue jacket that said Mess with the best, die like the rest. on the back of it. Under that, it had their mafia name, Fierce Crypt Dragons.

"I'll be back! " Usagi called to her friends and she just took off.

"What was that all about? " Rei asked and everyone shrugged and shook their heads and went back to eating their lunch, unknown to what was going on.

"Umino!!!!!!!! " Naru and Usagi screamed as both ran to him. Usagi was so mad because it reminded her of Mina. She wasn't there to help Mina but she was here and she wouldn't let anything happen to her friends even if she didn't really know how to fight physically. After she checked that Umino was doing ok, she went straight up to them.

"What do you want, Odango brains?! " Mark asked annoyed.

"My name is Usagi!!… Give Naru back her stuff!!! " she demanded.

"Ohhhh…. Trying to be a hero, eh?…..Whatcha gonna do if we don't? … Run back to your sempai who dumped you to go to the States to find someone else? " Brad taunted and the jocks laughed.

"Mamo-chan didn't dump me!!! He loves me with all his heart so don't you dare say anything like that about him!!!! "

"If he loved you, he would've responded to your letters now wouldn't he?" taunted Tony.

Usagi gasped in shock. "How did you know? " She asked in a hushed voiced.

"We heard you last night talking, of course. " Brad whispered when he secretly took out his pocket blade and fiddled with it near Usagi. She gulped in fear, not daring to say anything. Naru and Umino and no one else saw the blade because they were behind Usagi and her body was blocking it while the other jocks surround them trying to block everyone's view. There was a crowd of people surrounding them now all trying to see and know what was going on as they continued to gossip.

"Usagi!! Be careful!! " Naru shouted to her and she was helping Umino who was still in pain.

~ Senshis, Seishis, Ranma, and Miaka ~

On the other side of the field, Tasuki looked up from his food and saw a lot of people gathering to where the fight was held at. "What's with all the commotion? "

Now the others looked up too. Mako smiled and snapped her fingers, "It must be a fight!! Alright!!! I'm gonna go see some bakas kick other peoples butt!!! " Then she snickered, "Maybe I can try to break them up and I get in to the fight too!!!! I've been dying for a fight in a long time!!!!….Hai! Let's go!!!!! "

Everyone stared at her, raising an eyebrow and sweatdropping. Then it hit Ranma like a ton of bricks. "Isn't that the same direction Bunny went to?! "

"Bunny? " Miaka asked.

"Usagi. " Ranma explained and sighed.

"No fair!! She went and didn't tell me?!! " exclaimed Mako.

"Iie… I think something's wrong…" Tamahome thought out loud. Then he took off in that direction and Ranma ran after him. The others looked at each other and nodded and ran off too.

~ Back to the fight ~

Brad held the blade closer to her stomach, giving her that death look. Her fear rose but what could she do? She could feel and hear her heart beat speed up and pump her blood as loud as ever!! She knew one thing that's for sure…. she definitely couldn't transform. Her mind screamed over and over, What could she do to save herself and get Naru's things back without anyone getting hurt?!! But her mind didn't respond and her ideas had suddenly gone blank. Nothing. She could come up with nothing. She didn't want to call for help because she was afraid that someone might get hurt trying to save and help her. She had to get out of this one alone, for once, without someone there to always help her….. Maybe she could try reasoning with them…

"Please give my friend back her stuff and leave them alone. Please don't hurt them……"

They smirked, "Why?…. Sure I'll listen to you, but what do you have to offer to me that I want? " Brad asked.

"How should I know what you want?!! " She shouted in his face.

He glared at her and he continued to mess with her as he fiddled with the blade again, making it seem as if he was going to really stab her. She bit her lip and took a step back but ended up hitting Jeff. She was trapped. Would they really do something to her with all these people? No. They'd get in trouble if they did. They wouldn't dare to, ne?

Then Usagi heard some people shout her name and realized that it was Ranma and Tamahome that were calling her. Everyone turned and saw the two running towards them with a group of people behind them. The crowd of people let a certain amount of space for Ranma and Tamahome to get through.

"What are you guys doing to Usagi?!!! " Both screamed at the same time.

"I can handle this alone guys. " Usagi stated, which shocked everyone, even Brad and them. They definitely didn't expect her to say that. They expected more like Guys!! Help me!!! or something close to that.

"Odango!!! " Rei yelled.

Ami silently whispered as she looked at her friend with concern, "Usagi…"

"Just stay back! I said I can handle this!! " snapped Usagi. Yup, if they tried to help her, they could seriously get injured since they didn't know that Brad had a blade with him. I mean, if Brad had a dangerous weapon, the others must have some too.

Then before they even knew it, the school's staff members came through the crowd and saw Brad with the knife in his hands. "Brad!!! Drop the knife!!! " One commanded. Brad and them were taken by surprise when one staff grabbed his arms and held them behind his back, making him loose him grip on the deadly weapon. The other five jocks got caught too and they dropped Naru's things as Usagi flopped to the ground sighed in relief, fear leaving her body. The crowd of people all gossiped again leaving the scene. Her friends gasped in shock and ran up to her, concerned, "Usagi!! Daijoubu ka?! We didn't know!!! Why didn't you tell us?!! "

"Because they could've hurt you guys and I didn't want that. I don't want to loose you guys too since Mina is already……" She couldn't even finish her sentence but they understood and nodded, helping her up. But she was the only one that caught the death and you'll-regret-it glare that Brad and the others gave her. She shivered as fear entered her body again but didn't say a thing. What she did miss was the You'd better watch your back. words Brad mumbled under his breath.

"Uh… let's go eat…Oh, matte! I almost forgot! " Usagi gets Naru's book bag and money and runs to her and Umino. "Are you guys ok? "

"Hai…. Are you ok Usagi-chan?…. I was so worried about you…… Domo arigato for helping me, Usagi-chan. " She hugs her, grateful and happy to have a friend like Usagi.

"Come on, Naru… You're my best friend. I'd do anything for friends…. Besides, I wouldn't be much of a friend if I didn't do that, ne? " Smiles. "Anyways,…… did I look like a coooooool super hero or what?! " A big grin plastered on her face as she folded her arms lifted her head higher. Naru and everyone else laughed and Rei and Mako groaned and rolled their eyes.

Rei went over to Usagi and pulled her from the back of her collar, dragging her across the field, "Come on Odango. I don't want to hear you complain later that you're hungry…."

"Let go of me you pyro!!!! Who are you to drag me anywhere?!!! "

"Urusai Odango atama!!! "

"Rei!!!!!! " The two continued on like that as Usagi was dragged across the field back to the same spot they sat at before all of this happened. The students that watching them sweatdropped while the Suzaku seishis, the rest of the senshis, Ranma, Miaka, Naru, and Umino just lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Then some kid came up to them, "Do you guys know those two weirdos over there? " He pointed to Usagi and Rei. The group immediately shook their heads and the kid just left.

"……. Ya know, Usagi wasn't that bad…..for an onna. " Tasuki said.

Miaka, Mako and even Ami surrounded him with their own death glares. "What did you say?!!! "

"You heard me! " Smirks.

The trio kept hitting him as he tried to block and dodge their fury of punches and kicks. Though the Suzaku seishi and Miaka all had a good feeling that Usagi was Sailor Moon after what they had just saw. But could never be sure so they didn't say anything. Besides, if the public didn't know Sailor Moons identity, they know that even if they ask Usagi, she'd deny the whole thing. They had to find a way for Usagi to reveal her identity to them but they'd worry about that later.

"Come on… Let's eat before lunch is over. " Hotohori said.

"Ok!!! " Miaka shouted as she ran across the field and sat beside Usagi and they began to pig out on their food.

When everyone got there, they sweatdropped at how fast the duo ate, the same thought going through everyone's minds, *Dear Kami!!! They must be twins!!!! Same eating habit, personality, and the hair almost exactly the same too!!!!!* And they all sighed. The Suzaku seishi thought, *another Miaka… Who'd ever thought that could be possible…* while the others thought, *someone that's just like Usagi… Is the world coming to an end?!!*

~ Next day… ~

Miaka and them were walking back to the hotel they were staying. It was about 11 `o clock then and they had just came from a restaurant and finished eating dinner. Keisuke and Tetsuya were with them at the restaurant too but they left and went home. Then Chichiri stopped making the rest of them stop too and look at him.

"What's wrong, Chichiri? " questioned Hotohori.

"There are some powerful chi near by…….. to the west over there. " He said.

"That's where the park is at! Maybe it's--!" And that's when they heard it.

"Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!…… That's it!!!! You're gonna get it!!!!…..Mars Flame Sniper!!!!!! "

"Oi!! That's Sailor Mars!!! It's the Sailor Senshis!!!….. Let's go!!! Sailor Moon is probably there too!!!! " Miaka shouted and ran off towards the battle sight.

"Miaka!!!! Wait up!!!!! " they all shouted as they ran after her…
