Once again I do not own either Ranma ½ or Sailor Moon. They are owned by their respected creators. And I thank both the creators for such great stories.

Okay readers, first I would like to say thank you agian for reading my goofy story to begin with. I would also like to thank all those that wrote reviews, thank you. Please continue to write reviews, they aid in writing.

The story takes place three years after the end of Ranma ½ and just right after the end of the Doom Tree saga right before Chibi Usagi arrives back in time in the Sailor Moon Saga. I would like to infrom that in this story Saotome is Nodoka's name. Throughout the story more and more of what happened durning the last three and how Mamoru effected the Ranma 1/2 Story.

In this story, one of the Sailor Moon characters played a part in the Ranma ½ series.

Once, and yet again, I would like to thank my proof reader Pedro.


Really! What is taking those two?! If they don't hurry up, I'm going to kill Mina soon! Rei thought while pacing on the deck of the shrine waiting for the last two to show. Usagi sat on the edge with her face in her hands groaning. Minako hadn't stopped talking about Ranma and want she planned to do with him, and it was getting on both Usagi and Rei's nerves.

"YES WE KNOW YOU HAVE THE HOTS FOR RANMA AND YOU WANT TO BUMP UGLIES WITH HIM!" Rei screamed at Minako, she was at her wits end. Minako who was sitting next to Usagi fell back and landed on the ground. This seemed to have the desired effect in shutting her up. All Usagi wanted to do was cry.

"What's your problem?" Minako asked Rei while standing up. Rei didn't answer but dead panned at her.

"For the last fifteen minutes all you've been doing is talking about all the ecchi things you what to do with Ranma." Minako gave her a questioning look.

"I have?" She saw both Rei and Usagi nod, even though Usagi hadn't lifted her head from her hands. "I'm sorry, I guess I got carried away." She smiled sheepishly at them.

Rei sighed, "To be honest, I guess I would have acted the same." Seeing Minako's face made her feel bad for snapping like she did.

"At the very least I would have kept it to myself." She said under her breath.

"What was that?" Asked Usagi looking up out of her hands, not quite hearing what Rei said.

"Nothing." She said waving it off.

At that moment, both missing Senshi crested the stairs. The two held matching, large grins. This caused Rei to raise an eyebrow at this.

"What took you two so long?" Rei asked. The two looked at each other, then Makoto walked up to her, handing her the catalog. Rei didn't understand the gesture, until she noticed that Makoto was pointing at the cover. Rei's eyes grew as she read.

"NO WAY!" Squeaked Rei, she looked up at them. "YOU MET HER!"

"Yep, and get this, she's a friend your boyfriend." She said while looking at Usagi who in turn became confused.

"Meet who, and what about Mamo-chan?" She asked while getting up to see what Rei was holding. Minako wondered as well and came to see what was up. Usagi saw the wedding catalog and knew it well, but soon noticed that something was written on it and read it. Minako looked over Rei's shoulder and did the same a Usagi. Both the blondes' eyes nearly popped out of their heads as they read.

"YOU MET REIKO MAGUME!?" Was yelled in stereo by the two blonds, this caused Rei to cringe at the volume. While still smiling, both Ami and Makoto nodded happily at them.

"WAIT! You said that she was with Mamo-chan?" Usagi remembering what Mako-chan said.

"Yes, it seems that she went to the same high school as Mamoru and Ranma." Ami said to the three stunned friends.

"Can you please have Mamoru introduce me to her, PLEASE!?" Minako said to a stunned Usagi who wasn't hearing anything.

They were together? How can I compete with her, she is so beautiful? An odd feeling began to creep into her heart that she had never felt before: doubt. Wait… I'm the Moon Princess. He and I are destined to be together. Usagi shook her head, clearing her mind of such a ridiculous thought.

"As much as I'd like to continue with this discussion, I really think we should get on with the meeting." Usagi stated while getting up and headed into the temple. The others watched her as she went, and felt that she seemed off somehow. They looked at each other before going in.


"Here is the picture I wanted you to check out Rei." Usagi handed it to her, Rei took it and walked up to the sacred fire. She placed it on a small table in front of her and proceeded to kneel in front of the fire. She closed her eyes and began the ritual.

"Rin, Pyo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!" She stated while making hand gestures. After a moment, she sat there staring at the picture.

"I found it!" Rei exclaimed without looking up.

"What!" The group asked as one, but Rei didn't answer. Ami looked at the group for a second before turning to Rei.

"So, it is as we expected…" Ami didn't get a chance to finish when Usagi interrupted.

"I knew it, you sensed an evil aura from the picture didn't you?!" Rei pick up the picture and turned to the group.

"Usagi, your…" she paused, then looked back at the picture, "…cousin is really HOT!" she said with hearts in her eyes. This caused the remaining girls to face fall and groan. Usagi was the first to recover, jumping to her feet.

"REI THIS IS SERIOUS!" Rei blushed.

"Sorry. To tell you the truth, I didn't get anything from the picture." She said while turning her attention back to Ranma in the picture as her blush darkened a bit. Usagi raised an eyebrow at Rei.

"Really, nothing?" After seeing Rei nod at her, Usagi sat back down and began to wonder.

From the temple door, Chibi-Usa watched the girls in secret. After a bit see turned away from the door and leaned against it.

"So, those are Usagi Tsukino's friends." She began to frown I wonder if she gave the Silver Crystal to one of them for safe keeping? She then sat down on the deck of the temple and began to think of how she was going to check each one of them.

Grandpa Hino smiled, humming a happy tune, as he carried snacks for his granddaughter and her friends. He really enjoyed having the girls over, it made the temple seem lively. Plus it gave him a chance to see lots of great legs.

Today is a good day to be… His thoughts were interrupted when he noticed a young, pink-haired girl sitting on the deck staring off into space. He stopped and turned to her.

"Hello there, young one. What's a cute little girl like you doing here?" He asked her. She looked at him for a moment before jumping up and grabbing a ball that looked like a cat.

"Luna-P! Transformation!" She then tossed it into the air. The ball hovered for a moment then changed into a baby's bottle before falling into her outstretched hand.

"Ah, that's a wonderful trick young lady." Grandpa said with a smile, but his expression changed when she started adding milk to the tea he was taking to the girls.

"Oh, no! That isn't coffee! It doesn't need any cream!" he snatched the bottle from her hands. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"That isn't cream." She then bent her legs slightly.

"Really?" He said while looking at the bottle in his hands. Usa then leapt at him doing a back flip, kicking the bottle out of his hands. Grandpa Hino had never seen a child so young move so fast. Once she completed the flip, she landed on one foot and shot straight up into the air, catching the bottle. She then twisted in mid flight and flung it into his mouth. Grandpa was so stunned by her skills that he didn't even evade the incoming bottle. Once the contents of the bottle were in his mouth he fell over, passing out.

"I told you, it's not cream." She then picked up the snack tray and looked at the sleeping old man. "It's a sleeping potion." The bottle then changed back into the cat-like ball and floated off in the same direction as Usa.


"Wow this is good tea Mamoru." Ranma said after taking a sip of the cup before her. Mamoru smiled into his cup as he looked at her.

"I told you this place has the best there is." Normally Ranma would have to disagree with a statement like that after having sampled Kasumi's special blend. But she had to admit, this was the best she's ever had.

Mamoru opened his mouth to say something when a large beam of energy shot straight to the heavens. Ranma turned around to see what she felt, only to shiver as she saw the beam. As she turned back to her companion, a smirk formed.

"Looks like duty calls" Mamoru gave her an apologetic look before leaving her there. Once he was out of sight, she gripped her chest and her head collapsed on the table. Why do I feel all this pain, loneliness, and desperation? Her soul easily felt the cry for help. The feelings soon began to subside after a minute or two.

One of the café waitresses approached the distraught modeling celebrity. "Are you okay Miss Magume?" Ranma turned and nodded to her with a smile.

"I'm quite alright, nothing to worry about." The waitress nodded, satisfied, before leaving her. Ranma sighed as she left the café after paying the bill. The feeling was still present, but less intense as she walked home.

The walk back to the apartment went almost without incident; her mind was lost in thought. Ranma was so deep in thought that she was almost walking in autopilot. It was due to this that she couldn't avoid an equally oblivious person. The collision sent them both to the ground.

"HEY! Watch where you're going!" Screamed said person while trying to get to his feet. Ranma knew the voice instantaneously.

"You know Ryouga, I could say the same to you." Ryouga turned to her and smiled.

"Just the person I was looking for."


As Mamoru closed the distance to his destination by way of roof hopping, he reached into his shirt, withdrawing a single, red rose. The rose flashed brightly, bathing him in a glow that covered him for a few seconds. As it faded, Tuxedo Mask appeared in Mamoru's place, ready to aid any way he could.

I hope Rei's place isn't destroyed. With a final leap, he landed on the outer wall of the shrine. He watched as Sailor Moon knocked an odd, yet pretty-looking woman dressed in a pin-striped body suit complete with a purple-feathered tutu, away from the little girl he saw yesterday. Where do they come up with these outfits? And why is she after the girl?

The woman stood, wiping her face, looking really pissed. "How dare you dirty my face?!" she snarled at Sailor Moon. She then outstretched her hand to release an attack at Moon. "DIE!"

Not today. With a flick of his wrist, he launched a magically enhanced rose at her arm in hopes that it would divert the attack and distract her long enough for Moon to finish her off. He then leapt down to the fallen girl to aid Moon in protecting her.

The Rose hit its mark dead-on, disrupting the attack completely, causing the woman to let out a yelp of pain. "Who's there?!" She yelled in the direction the rose came from.

"Passionate fire is noble and beautiful," Mamoru said while gently picking up the out cold child. "But evil fire to burn someone to death is ugly and horrifying." He finished as he stood there protectively.

I knew he would come and save the day! Moon thought. To be honest with herself, she didn't really know if she could defeat the woman since the rest of the scouts where knocked out in Rei's room. Still, seeing her beloved standing there, her spirit leapt for joy.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Usagi couldn't help blushing while squealing his name out. The woman took an offensive stance towards the new intruder to her mission.

"I will burn you to death along with the Rabbit!" She snarled at him. Mask raised an eyebrow at her statement. Rabbit? He then looked down at his charge. Moon noticed that Tuxedo Mask seemed distracted, as was the woman. Here is my chance to dust her.

"I won't let you!" She screamed, charging up her next attack. "Moon Princess Elimination!" The attack flew straight and true. The woman stared wide-eyed at the attack. A bright burst of light erupted when it connected with her. Seeing nothing remain, Sailor Moon smiled. "I did it!" She rejoiced, but her victory was short lived.

"Sailor Moon," called the women's voice from behind her. Moon quickly turned around to see her panting on the roof. "When did you.." wondered a bewildered Moon.

"You will pay for this brat! I swear!" The woman yelled before teleporting away.

"It seems we have a new enemy." Mask said, walking towards Moon. Moon sighed at the thought but quickly smiled at him. "Thank you, Tuxedo Mask." He smiled. His thoughts turned to the girl cradled in his arms.

"It appears someone is after this little girl." At that moment, the girl began to nuzzle deeper into the embrace. Mamoru heart warmed at the act, but was soon invaded by an image of a breath-taking city of silver and white. Both small and large crystals littered the landscape, and right in the middle stood a large castle made of crystal. What is this? Where is this? He knew that he had the ability of premonition but it was never was this clear. Could I be having another vision?

"Thanks for the help Mamo-chan." She smiled as they both changed back. Their eyes met, a growing desire to kiss him grew in her. Her eyes softened and she began to lean into him, giving in to that desire. Again, though, that uneasy feeling became present within him, this time however was much worse. Not wanting to deal with it at the moment, he needed a distraction. Wait, where are the rest of the girls at?

"Usako, where are the others?" The question killed the moment, Usagi sighed.

"They're all in Rei's room, unconscious." Mamoru gave her a questioning look. "The little spore drugged the tea so she could find the Crystal." Mamoru looked down at his charge and shook his head as the two went to help the others.

Waking the girls provided a bit of a challenge, well, keeping them awake was anyways. In the end, water to the face worked the best.

"Wow, whatever she used is very effective." Mamoru stated to the sleepy group. Those who were affected stared dumbfounded at him. The looks sent shivers down his spine.

"Its sucks we missed the fight." Makoto said in a groggy voice. This made both Rei and Minako groan. "By the way, Mamoru, when are you picking up Ranma?" The question sobered them all up in an instant.

"Yeah, Mamoru, when is my cousin coming?" Usagi said while beaming.

Ah crap! Mamoru began to fidget in his seat.

"Ummm, well…. Actually….he's already here." The last part was almost a whisper, knowing what was about to happen. Sure enough, he didn't have to wait very long for the expected reaction.

"WHAT!"


As Usagi walked home with the spore in her arms, she couldn't help sighing as she remembered all the girls flying off the handle when they found out that Ranma was already in town. Minako and Makoto took it the worst. I swear those two take boy-chasing way too far. Once she got to the door of her house, she heard her brother laughing loudly.

"I wonder what's got him so happy." She said to no one in particular. She figured he was watching TV or reading a manga. After she opened the door, the first thing she saw was her brother wrestling with someone in the living room…and losing. Her parents were smiling at the two, but turned to notice her standing at the door.

"Usagi look who is in town." Her mother said. The mystery person turned to look at her.

"Hey Sagi-chan." She stood in shock; Ranma was here! A large smile formed on her face. Ranma noticed that Usagi was cradling a sleeping child and turned to his aunt. "When did you have another baby?" Both Usagi's parents blushed while Shingo laughed.

"She isn't my sister, she's our cousin. You remember, she was with us during our vacation last summer." Ranma raised an eyebrow at this. Hmmm. He then turned to Shingo and smiled.

"Of course I remember, but how could I pass an opportunity to embrace both of them." He replied. Usagi stared at Ranma. Oh no! Even he remembers her! Usagi gave a nervous laugh.

"I need to put her to bed. She had a very exciting day." She then hastily left up the stairs. Ranma narrowed his eyes slightly at the departing pair, but was tackled from behind by very excited boy. Usagi placed Usa on the bed and let out a long breath. She smiled at the sleeping child as she left the room. It's odd, I feel in some way connected to her.


Mamoru sat at his table enjoying the meal left for him. Ranma left a note stating that he went to visit Usagi and her family, but left a homemade dinner for him. Man, this is amazing! I would say that she's as good as Kasumi. After eating and cleaning up the dishes, he sat on the couch to do his homework. As hard as he tried, he couldn't seem to concentrate on the school work problems. Some odd feeling was nagging at him. The part he didn't like was he couldn't seem to figure out what it was, but something was off. Seeing that nothing was going to be accomplished, he decided that he needed to figure this out. Okay, when did this feeling start? After a bit, he narrowed it down to when he had the vision. At first the feeling was present but not too significant. That all changed when….when Usagi tried… His thoughts were interrupted when something tapped his shoulder. Startled, he did what anyone who grew up in Nerima did, and clung to the ceiling. This was happening far too often lately for his liking.

"Wow Mamoru, I didn't mean to scare you." Ranma stated while looking up at him. Mamoru calmed down instantly when he heard her voice. This time when he let go of the ceiling, he stuck the landing.

"Sorry about that." He said and she graced him with a mischievous smile.

"That's my line." The two enjoyed a light-hearted laugh together.

"So, how was dinner at Usako's?" Ranma smiled at this as she sat down on the couch.

"Shingo is still full of energy and Sagi-chan a bubble of joy as always. But…." Mamoru turned to as she paused. "I think I met your mysterious little stranger." Mamoru nodded knowing that Usa was staying with Usako. "The weird thing is that this girl has everyone thinking that she is a relative. The family pictures were mildly disturbing."

"That's what Usako said earlier." Mamoru said and Ranma gave him a questioning glace.

"So that's why Sagi-chan would always get fidgety when Usa came up in conversation." Mamoru sighed while Ranma stared at him with a straight face. This unsettled him when he noticed her.

"What?" He nearly squeaked. Ranma only averted her eyes and sighed.

"Look Mamoru I know who she is, you don't have to hide the fact." It was now Mamoru's turn to give her a stupid look. "Know who she….what are you talking about?" Ranma just dead panned.

"Really, you're going to try this on me?… Sagi-chan is Moon." Mamoru's eyes doubled in size.

"How did you…" Mamoru began, "when did you figure that out?" Ranma smiled slightly.

"About a month ago, and as to how, well you stated back then that you fought along with your destined future Queen." She saw him nod to her and she continued. "And when you started dating Sagi-chan I kinda put two and two together." Mamoru hung his head, defeated. He should have remembered that Ranma never forgets what is said. Something she definitely picked up from Nabiki. Ranma left the couch and headed to the kitchen. Mamoru watched her the whole way. Somewhere with him, that nagging feeling began to rear its ugly head. He sighed then followed her.

"By the way, thank you for dinner, Ranma." Ranma looked up from the fridge and smiled, pulling out a bottle. Mamoru couldn't tell what it was; he did know that it was an alcohol of some kind.

"You are welcome, it's the least I could do for you allowing me to stay here." Mamoru rolled his eyes.

"You are always welcome here, Ranma. We've been close friends for a long while." Ranma nodded to that as she poured a small glass of the liquor, and mixed it with juice. "What is that you're drinking by the way?" She held up the bottle to him as he read out the label out loud. "Ice 151? What is that?" A devilish smile form as she offered the glass to him. He took it from her and watched her make another one. Once done, she held up her glass to him, indicating she wanted him to cheer her.

"Only sip it or you're going to hate life in the morning." He nodded understanding and together they sipped their drinks. The taste wasn't bad, strong but not bad.

"Guess who I ran into today?" Ranma asked. Mamoru looked up from his glass to her.

"Based off you're track record, I would have to say either Ryouga of Toro, but seeing that you aren't nursing any injuries I'm leaning towards Ryouga." She gave him a nod. "So, what's new with him?"

She let out a long sigh. "I need your help, and if you can, could you please bring the Scouts as well." Mamoru tilted his head. Why would she need the Scouts' help? Seeing his look she began retelling what happened after he left.


"Just the person I was looking for." Ryouga stated, holding a hand out to her. Ranma smiled and shook her head as she allowed him to help her to her feet.

"Oh and why is that?"

"I just arrived from Nerima. I heard about what was happening and hoped I would run into you before the rest of them." Ranma raised an eyebrow at that, but he continued, "Hear me out, please?" She nodded leading them to a park to talk.

"The way I see it, in order to find both Akane and Maya to help them, we'll need to create a beacon that they could easily find."

"Ryouga I came here to AVOID being found." She stated as the two came to a stop at a park bench.

"Yes I know, but the girls don't know you as you currently are, am I right?" She let out a sigh while sitting down; she was beginning to see what he had in mind.

"Yes, none of them know me as Reiko, and please call me that as well." Ryouga nodded to her as he took a seat next to her.

"So, my plan is lure them in and once they're here, you can change to Reiko and I can get them the help they need."

"Was a cure found?" She asked turning to look at him and seeing him nod.

"Kasumi was able to get one of the letters to Nabiki last night and she gave it to Kodachi, who was able to find a cure within minutes." Ryouga could easily see the question she wanted to ask from her expression. "Hank got his hands on the powder Kodachi used on us during the Christmas party while back." Both Reiko and Ryouga shuddered, recalling that evening.

"Do you have the cure with you?" Ryouga reached into his bag and held up a small pouch containing a yellowish powder. Reiko resisted the urge to vomit at the sight of it. The cure was WAY worse than the problem, well, not totally.

"The biggest problem is getting them to take it." She could only nod. She began to nibble on her lip as she thought about what was needed and how it was going to be done. Ryouga began to smile as he let her think it out. If there is a way to win, she'll figure out how.

After about a minute or two she smiled. "Okay this is what I got: first we meet up at the forest 10 miles north of here and we catch up the usual way. That should easily get their attention. Once they show, I will have some back up waiting to help us catch them and contain them long enough for us to administer the cure." He liked it so far. Wait…what help?

"You're going to have back up? " He asked. She nodded. "Who?" Reiko smiled.

"Please trust me on this one. I know some people capable of helping." I hope.

"Okay, so when is this going to happen?"

"Give me two days, okay?" Ryouga smiled, things were much better than he originally expected. He figured it would take at least two to three days to find Ranma, not six hours.

"Sounds great to me. I will head back and tell Kasumi and Dr. Tofu. See you in two days." He paused as a thought occurred to him. "Oh, by the way, you better bring your A-game; I have some new things I want to try out."

"I wouldn't dream of anything less." Ryouga smiled brightly as he stood up to leave. Reiko smiled back. Looks like I'm getting a work out sooner than I thought.


"So you are hoping that with the Scouts, you and Ryouga can get them to take the cure?" She shook her head.

"Not just Ryouga and I, but the three of us." Mamoru shuddered as he too remembered the effects the cure had. That was one of the worst weeks of his life. But having your emotions under control was definitely worth the pain.

"I can ask the Scouts tomorrow during their day meetings." She gifted him with one of her famous smiles. A pleasant and filling warmth spread throughout him from both the smile and liquor, he had a feeling of déjà vu. The two made it back out to the living room where they continued to nurse their drinks enjoying the silence. The longer this went on, the more he was sure he… no, they DID do this once before. At that moment, a surge hit him. It almost felt like electricity hit his brain, forcing him to hold his head.

"You okay?" Ranma asked as she watched him. She wasn't sure what was wrong.

"Oh, my head feels like my brain was electrocuted for a moment there." The moment passed and so did the pain. He shook his head quickly, and then felt the effects of the liquor welling up. Ranma, on the other hand, watched him closely, not knowing she was holding her breath and biting her bottom lip. She almost looked scared, but when he smiled and resumed drinking, she relaxed and continued with her drink while keeping an eye him. Please, Kami.
