"When Blue Clashed With Blue" Uh, Hi?
Lady Rinehart
I'm adding a small twist to the plot. I promise to have the next out soon. I hope you like the guest appearances.
************************************************
Usagi and Ranma were walking away from the hotel they had stayed the night. They were discussing what they were going to do next. Usagi cleared her throat.
"What next?" She asked. She was currently eating an apple hungrily.
"Maybe we should travel 'till we find a good 'nough place for us." Ranma said in between bites. He was also eating an apple.
"Fine by me." Usagi said. "But I'm not to good with traveling. What are we going to about money?"
"We walk."
"WALK?!" Usagi screeched, her apple being propelled into the sky and she jumped. "Are you crazy?! America is huge!"
"So." Ranma said simply. "From now on, we're training. Didn't you want to learn to fight better?"
"Yes, but…WALKING!?" Usagi answered.
"Yes walking. It won't be that bad." And Ranma began to walk faster.
************************************************
"That bad, he says." Usagi mumbled. They had covered a lot of ground in a single day. They had walked all day, with complaining from Usagi of course, and were near the state line of California. (I don't think its possible, but it my story)
"Can we rest now?" Usagi asked.
"Gosh, your lazy." Ranma said, not knowing he'd hurt her. Usagi felt tears coming to the surface. Ranma looked confused.
"I am not!" Usagi said forcefully. "Lets keep going then. I'll prove I'm not!" And to emphasize her point, she walked in front of Ranma.
Ranma stood there dazed for a moment, before rushing ahead. He walked next to the pissed blond for a minute, collecting his thoughts. 'Why is she mad? Why did she almost cry? Akane never cried.' His mind argued back. 'She's not Akane.' He looked at Usagi. 'They're really different.'
Usagi was breathing heavily, not from the walking, but from her anger. She thought that of all people Ranma wouldn't make fun of her. 'I'll prove him wrong. I'll prove them all wrong.' She huffed and speeds up.
Ranma watched her. Her blue eyes, normally calm and carefree, were now darker and had a glint of determination in them. He saw the small traces of tears that she had held back earlier. He hadn't meant to hurt her. He needed to do something about this.
"Usagi?" He questioned quietly. Usagi continued to walk and ignored him. "Usagi?" Again, no comment was uttered from the blonde. Ranma stopped and grabbed Usagi. "Gi-chan?" He asked.
Usagi stopped at the unfamiliar nickname. She'd been called many thing by all types of people, but never Gi-chan. She then blushed as she thought about the 'chan' part.
"Ranma?" She noticed that he too was blushing.
'Why'd I go an' say somthin' like that?' Ranma wonder furiously. 'I've only known her for a week. I can't call her that!'
"Uh, I just wanted to know why you almost cried before?" He asked. "I've insulted girls a lot worse than that, and they've never cried."
"I didn't cry!" Usagi said forcefully. She calmed a little. "I just got a little mad. Everyone back home use to insult me with words such as lazy and stupid and so on. I just thought that you'd…" She blushed.
'What a stupid thing to think!' She scolded herself. 'He doesn't know you that well yet. Of course he wouldn't know.'
"That'd I'd what?" Ranma persisted.
"That you'd understand." She said softly. She lowered her head, embarrassed. Ranma looked puzzled for a moment, then brightened.
"I'm sorry too. I didn't know, but I understand now. I won't ever call her lazy again, okay?" He said. Usagi looked up.
"Really?" She asked, smiling brightly. Her eyes light up and a sparkle had made its home in her eyes.
"Sure." Ranma said, blushing. He'd never apologized like that before. And he'd never had a girl smile at him like that. He blushed more. 'She sure is cute…'
"Okay!" Usagi said happily. "So I guess it's alright for you to call me Gi-chan if you want." She said turning back around. Ranma's blush deepened. 'I've never blushed so much…'
"Uh, okay…" He mumbled.
"Lets go, Ran-chan!" He blushed more. 'Why am I blushing!?' He thought. 'Ukyo use to call me this all the time and I never blushed.'
"Uh, Gi-chan, lets camp here tonight." He looked around. It was as good a place as any. She smiled and put her bag to the ground. Then she thought.
"We don't have sleeping bags yet." She said. Ranma looked around.
"There's a cave entrance over there, lets stay there, okay?" Ranma replied. Usagi nodded and picked her bag up. She grabbed Ranma's hand, causing both to blush ever so slightly, and paced over to the cave.
As they neared the entrance, Ranma and Usagi felt a kill run up their spin. Magic was in the air. Ranma stepped inside the cave only to pitch forward suddenly. He brought Usagi with him. Instead of hitting a rocky ground, they went through it.
And were gone an instance later.
************************************************
"Where is she?!" Luna yelled. The girls were gathered at the temple that day. The outers were there also, along with Mamoru and Kimi. Luna had just returned from the states that day.
"We don't know." Rei said, sweeping the stairs. Luna looked at the other inners, and none seemed too worried, except Makoto.
"Makoto, what happened?" Makoto almost broke down.
"I'm so sorry!" She practically yelled. "I shouldn't have! I know I shouldn't. I went too far." She began to cry. Luna looked shocked and confused, as did the outers.
"Shouldn't have what?" Haruka asked, stepping forward.
"Punched her." Makoto whisper. Rei, Minako, and Ami looked mad. Mamoru looked miffed.
"Mako-chan!" Ami almost yelled. "Don't."
"Don't what?" Michiru asked this time.
"They…they told me Usagi was an imposter." Makoto said. Rei looked as if she was going to rush Makoto, but Haruka stepped in her way. "Remember Luna, when you went to the states to check on Mamoru?" Luna nodded.
"Well, we told Usagi off! We told her we didn't rust her and that she was an imposter!" She was crying harder now.
"You fools!" Haruka yelled. "What the hell did you do that for?"
"She can't be our princess!" Minako said, jumping forward. "I made a better one that she did. I was a decoy, though. Maybe she is too."
"Her energy pattern was off. We were having dreams. Mamoru said his feeling weren't right with her. I don't know what to think." Ami said.
"She's stupid! I remember the Moon Kingdom. Serenity was smart and graceful and could fight! Usagi can do none of these. She doesn't deserve to be the princess. I refuse to protect her anymore--" It was Hotaru who quieted Rei.
Hotaru slapped her. Hard. "How dare you!?" She said threateningly. She may only be nine, but she was smart. "Usagi was the princess. It's your own doubts and minds that created the idea that she was not."
"How could you?" Luna asked. Makoto hadn't stopped crying.
"It seemed right at the time." Ami said in her defense. "Every since Galaxia, Usagi's changed back to being her old self. Back to being dumb and clumsy."
"You!" Haruka said, turning on Mamoru. "I'm not even going to lower myself to dealing with you right now."
"I refuse to have this conversation." Luna said. She began to walk away. I'm going to find her." The outers followed silently. Makoto jumped up.
"Luna, please!" She ran after them. "I'll help I want to. They convinced me to help earlier. I want to make it up to Usagi-chan. Please let me help."
"I can't forgive you right now." Luna said. "But if you truly mean it, then come on." They walked away from the temple.
************************************************
In space…
"Sir, they've fallen into a inter-dimensional portal." A man informed. He stood at the edge of the large groups of minions. Dilyn turned.
"Watch them. Devin, go and find out what happens." Devin stood from his chair and bowed. As he did so, he disappeared. The child on the screen smiled.
"You do good work, Dilyn. You have good control over your offices."
"I try, your lordship." Dilyn replied, leaning back. "Anything else?"
"Yes. I want them back soon." The child answered. I don't want the gone to long."
"Sire." Said a voice from the table. The child turned to a man near the end.
"Yes?"
"Why do you go after these children?" He asked.
"Why Jiro, I do so because I always terminate all loose ends. These 'children' happen to be those very loose ends."
"Then why not just kill them and get it over with?" Jiro inquired, more persistent than before. The child smiled.
"If I did that, who would I play with, huh?"
************************************************
"Owe!" Ranma said as he landed in a heap. He granted as Usagi fell on him.
"What happened!?" Usagi asked frantically. She looked around at her surroundings.
"Get off! You're to heavy!" Ranma said.
"Am not!" She replied.
"Well, maybe not heavy but the position we're end hurts!" He yelled back.
"I'm sorry." She tried to stand only to fall back again. Ranma grunted about pain, and Usagi began to apologize over and over. It was only after a cough and a laugh that they noticed that they were not alone. Both looked up.
Standing in front of them were five men. One was tall with wild black hair going in every direction. He looked friendly. She one next to him looked like a carbon copy almost. Except he was shorter and had longer hair. He was smiling also.
The short one looked rather amused, in a scolding kind of way. His hair also defied gravity, sticking straight up and ending in a point. Beside him was a semi-tall boy with short, cropped lavender hair. He looked like he was going to crackup at any moment. The last was tall and green. He looked angry, not shocked. And he coughed again.
Ranma lay stomach down and his neck craned slightly to see the men. Usagi was now sitting up and straddling Ranma's lower back. She was leaned forward slightly, with both hand planted firmly on Ranma's head.
"Uh, hi?" Usagi said weakly.
And this was how Usagi and Ranma meet some of the most powerful beings left in the universe, the great Sayians.
************************************************
I decided to end it here. It was pretty long, ne? Anyway, I thought I'd add in some guys from the DBZ world. Don't worry, they won't stay there long. I promise you guys will get to see the Ranma crew next time.
Hugs and Bunnies,
