"Ranma…"Ranma looked up to see Dr. Chan.
"Did you get the test results back?"
"Yes. Can I talked to you for a moment?"
Ranma stood up and walked out with the doctor "What's wrong with her?"
"She's suffering from a severe case of amnesia."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning she doesn't know her name, where she is from or who her family is. I am guessing that she is about 17. And I know that she isn't from Kyra. You know as well as I do that Kyra is a small town and everyone knows everyone else."
"So she is totally lost, no one has any idea where she is from, what her name is, who or family is or where she is from…nothing?"
"From the test we ran no she doesn't. The only thing that we can figure is she is a ran away."
"What's going to happen to her? Where is she going to stay?"
"I don'' know but we should talk to her and see what she wants first before we make any plans for her."
"Your right." As Ranma said this he walked towards the bed "Come on Angel wake up."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Mamoru it's all your fault!" Makoto shouted.
"Yeah if it hadn't been for you yelling at her then she wouldn't have taken off." Rei added.
"Do you know why she was probably so late yesterday?" Minako asked.
"Yesterday was Usagi's birthday. I can't believe you forgot. She had a huge party and she probably couldn't get away." Ami's voice too held anger.
The yelling started again as the inner scouts directed frustration anger towards Mamoru. Suddenly though an ear-piercing whistle silenced the group and everyone turned towards 3 of the 4 outers.
"Sure we would all like to place blame but shouldn't we be coming up with ways to find Usagi?" Michiru asked quietly.
"Mamoru couldn't you use your connection with Usagi to find her?" Hotaru asked.
Mamoru looked at his feet. "Our connection with each other has been fading over the last couple of weeks. And last night I lost the connection completely. So no, our connection is completely gone."
"What has been going on with you and Usagi lately?" Haruka asked.
"We broke up." Mamoru replied simply.
"Again?" The inners all asked.
"Usagi decided the past should stay in the past. What we had in the Silver Millennium was then and it didn't necessarily mean that we feel the same way about each other now. Or at least that is what she told me."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Ranma looked down on the sleeping girl. Her extremely long blonde hair lay about her covering the white patch that covered the deep stitched up cut and the huge bruises on her forehead making her look much like an angel. "Come on Angel wake up." The name angel seemed to come naturally.
Her eyes fluttered open her blue eyes focusing on Ranma "What's going on?"
"We got the test results back." Ranma replied.
"What's wrong with me?"
"You are suffering from a severe case of amnesia." Dr. Chan replied.
"How bad is that?"
"Pretty bad." Dr. Chan replied sympathetically.
"Will I ever get my memories back?"
"There is a chance that you might."
"What's going to happen to me?" Ranma could see the fear in those crystal blue eyes.
"You can be released from the hospital tomorrow. From there we can find a place for you to stay. This is a close knit community and everyone is willing to help." With those words said by Dr. Chan calmness replaced the fear in the Angel's eyes.
"Good morning Angel." Ranma said walking into the hospital room the next morning.
She looked up from the book she was reading "Good morning Ranma. What do you have there?"
"Breakfast." Ranma replied "I checked with your doctor and she said you cold eat whatever you want. So I brought muffins." Ranma held out two muffins in plastic and he also brought out 2 glass bottles of juice. "What are you reading?"
"Dr. Chan brought me this book. It's a book of names. She figures I should pick out a name for myself. I think I found the name though Ranae. It means reborn."
"I like Angel better." Ranma said with a smile."
With that said Dr. Chan entered the room "So how is a search for a name coming?" She asked.
"Good I think I decided on Ranae. But Dr. Chan what about a last name?"
"The 3 sat silent for several moments "What about Chan?" Ranma asked.
And it was agreed that she was Ranae 'Angel' Chan. "You may have a name now. But now we have to figure out where you are going to live." Ranma said after Dr. Chan had left for her morning rounds.
"You live here. Do you have any idea as to a place I could stay?" Ranae asked.
"Yes actually I was thinking about it last night. I live in a small house in walking distance of the hospital. It has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room and a living room. You could stay with me if you wanted."
"Really? Thank you so much Ranma for everything you have done so much for me." Ranae hugged Ranma tightly as she said this.
"Ranma?" Ranae asked quietly.
Ranma looked up form the newspaper he was reading "Yeah."
"I don't know anything about you." Ranae said.
"My name is Ranma Soatome. I'm 18 years old and I just moved here about a month ago. That's about it."
Ranae looked at Ranma, she knew he wasn't telling her everything. But she knew enough so not to push the subject.
Dr. Chan stuck her head in the door "Hey."
"Hey Doc" Ranma replied.
"So are you reading to check out?" Ranma and Ranae had filled Dr. Chan in on Ranae's living arrangements.
"Very ready." Ranae replied "I am going stir crazy."
"You have only been in here 3 days and you were only conscious for about 2 of those." Ranma said with a laugh.
"Hopefully you won't ever have to been in the hospital for any longer than 3 days." Dr. Chan smiled as she said this.
"So how do I get out of here?" Ranae asked.
"Fill out these forms and then you can get out of here. I don't know if Ranma told you but I live next door so I will stop by later and see how you are doing."
"OK great and thank you so much." Ranae offered a bright smile. Ranae quickly read over the papers and sighed where required.
"Perfect I will be right back with a wheelchair.
"I don't need a wheelchair." Ranae protested.
"Without a wheelchair you don't get out of this hospital." Dr. Chan threatened.
"Fine but I can walk you know." Ranae said pouting.
Minutes later Dr. Chan returned to the hospital room with someone pushing a wheelchair. Ranma helped Ranae into it and pushed her towards a waiting Taxi.
"Ranma I though you said your house was in walking distance of the hospital."
"It is but we are going to take a cab today it's really hot out."
"Ranma I'm not an invalid you know." Ranae said her voice rose a decibel…she was slightly mad.
"I didn't say you were, I just said that it's hot and I don't feel like walking in this heat." Ranma's voice also rose in his defense.
"How are you guys supposed to live together if you can't even agree on how together home?" Dr. Chan asked "But Ranma's right Ranae who wants to go anywhere in this heart? It has to be over a hundred degrees out there."
Ranae gave in, she was out numbered. As the sliding glass door slid open a wave of hot air hit Ranae. "OK Ranma you were right. Just don't let it go to your head." Ranae said with a laugh.

"So if Mamoru's link to Usagi is gone how are we going to find her?" Minako asked.
"Ami can you use the computer to track down the Silver Crystal?" Haruka asked.
"Sure I can." Ami said pulling out her computer and began scanning "Come on she is in Tokyo not far from here. Let's go."
The 7 girls and Mamoru ran following Ami. Ami stopped suddenly a puzzled look on her face.
"What is it Ami?" Makoto asked.
"It says that Usagi is in that bush." Ami said pointing to the shrub.
"Well not Usagi." Haruka said reaching towards the bush and pulling something out. Usagi's transformation broach "Just the Crystal."
"Ami can you use your computer to find Usagi?" Rei asked.
Ami again began tapping at her computer sadly she turned back to the group "Wherever she is she isn't in Tokyo anymore."
One thought that was in the groups mind "Usagi where are you?"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Come on Angel." Ranma called "Your room is back here." Despite the fact that Ranae had chosen a name Ranma's nickname of 'Angel' had stuck.
"Ranma I love this house." Ranae called as she caught up to Ranma "It is so cool."
Ranae was right the house was very interesting. When you first walked in the kitchen and living room were on either side. The kitchen connected to the dining room. Ranae's room shared a wall with the dining room. But Ranae's room was in an odd shape, two of the walls met the wall of the house and the wall of the dining room and then the next wall was the last and it was in a quarter part of a circle. Then there was the living room, and then Ranma's room and then a room that had been made into a sparing room in the same sort of shape as Ranae's room.
"Ranma this room is so cool is it mine?"
"Yup sure is Angel."
"I love it!" Ranae replied throwing her arms around Ranma's neck.
"I will let you get used to the room I have a couple of things I have to do. I will be in my room down the hall." Ranma said walking out of the room closing the door softly behind her.
Ranae looked around the room there was a small single bed and a dresser and a desk and a closest.
Ranae sat down on her bed and relaxed. And hour later Ranae heard a knock on the door and at her call of "Come in." Ranma stuck his head in the door.
"You up for visitors?"
"Sure." Ranae said puzzled as to who would be visiting her.
6 girls stuck their heads in the door. They were of various ages and features. "Hi!" One girl said cheerfully "I'm Alana Chan." The girl had short blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "And these are my sisters Callista, Callia, Kalil, Nadia and Tacita."
"You are all Dr. Chan's kids?" Ranae asked.
The girls nodded "Were adopted we have too brothers too." The one Alana had said was named Callista said. Callista had curly red hair that fell to her shoulders and brown eyes, Callia was definitely her twin the two girls looked identical except Callia had dark brown curly hair that fell to her shoulders.
"We brought these for you." The youngest, Nadia said with a smile and the Tacita held out a large basket.
"Thank you." Ranae said with a large smile.
She opened the basket it contained hair shampoo and conditioner, lotion, body wash, all in the same scent, Plumeria, three different brushes, toothbrush and toothpaste, make-up, deodorant, and face wash.
"We also got you these." Callia held out a bag and Ranae pulled out various clothing items. There were a pair of blue jeans and black jeans and a pair of white and a pair of black capri pants. With several tee shirts of various colors.
Ranae felt the tears come to her eyes "Thank you all so much for this." She hugged each of the girls. "We live right next door so if you every need anyone to talk to one of us is usually home." Alana said with a smile.
"Did you get the test results back?"
"Yes. Can I talked to you for a moment?"
Ranma stood up and walked out with the doctor "What's wrong with her?"
"She's suffering from a severe case of amnesia."
