In the forest

A girl stretched her muscles after her tiring workout. Her semi short hair fell into her eyes as she bent down to touch her toes. She flicked it away with a twist of her wrist. *I don't think this is helping me all that much. * She thought. *I've been out here for over a week and still, I don't feel like I've improved at all. Maybe I should find some place that has a master of martial arts or some thing? * She thought… Akane looked up the forest and saw the same mountain she sees every morning when she wakes up. *I wonder what's up there. * She couldn't keep her eyes off a dark spot on the mountain…. Sure they were on any mountain but this one seems slightly different. *I can't help but feel that something's calling me to go up there…. * She thought to herself. *What do I have to lose going up there... The air is thinner up there and it can help my breathing and there might be someone who's up there waiting for me to come up… Just like those legendary movies I use to watch… * Akane smiled as she recalled her obsession over those movies. *Might as well, that is after I take a bath and get some sleep. I don't think I can go very far right now. Plus I need to get some food into my system. * Akane did as she thought and soon was sleeping peacefully in her tent.

The only out of the ordinary thing that night was a flaming red bird, a little bit bigger than a hawk, landing on a branch in front of her tent. It stayed there for a short while before flying off to places unknown…

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

On the side of a mountain somewhere in Japan

Akane carefully climb up the mountain. It wasn't all that steep but the surface of the rocks were smooth and most of them were loose, unlike what she climbed earlier that morning, and she definitely didn't want to slip and fall to her death. It was still bright so she continued scale the mountain. A while later, she found herself standing in a wide enough path that allowed her to walk normally without too much trouble. She sat down and got out a leather skin pouch; she took a quick drink from it and got out a candy bar from her pack. She returned the pouch to her pack and stood up. She started on the path and soon found herself standing in front of a small house made stone. She went closer to it and looked around. There was a small field next to it and she went and knocked on their door. A fat lady opened the door.

"What do you want?" She asked rudely.

"Hello, I was wondering if you know of any temple up on the mountain." Akane said starting to step away from the lady. "But I can see your busy, I'll just leave now…." Akane said quietly, hoping she would be able to get away. The woman was giving her the creeps.

"Oshati! Who is it?" A loud low voice called from inside the small house.

"Just some girl!" The lady, 'Oshati' replied. She turned and looked at the younger girl over. Something caught her eye. She smiled. "Oh I am so sorry, where are my manners, please do come in." She said in a sugary sweet voice, so sweet you would get cavities from it.

"Oh no… I've go to get going…" Akane said she once again moved away from the woman.

"No, I insist. We don't get to many visitors here now days. Please do come in." The woman said, her voice wasn't asking but commanding.

"O-okay…" Akane said reluctantly. She went into the house and looked around it looked pretty normal, there were pictures on the wall and a small chimney and fireplace by the far wall. She could see a fat man sitting in a chair in the next room.

"Would you like something to eat?" she asked.

"Um.. No thank you. I just ate. Thank you for the offer." Akane said. She wouldn't be eating anything here… this couple didn't look too trustable…

"Okay. How about a bath? You haven't had one in a long time have you?" The woman said as she ushered Akane into another room where a bath was ready. "Feel free to take a bath. If you need anything just call me." Oshtai left before she could even open her mouth to object. Akane sighed and looked around the room trying to see if there was any way out of there, there was none except from the way she just came in.

Oshati hurriedly went to her husband. "Why did you let that girl in here?" He asked as soon as he saw her.

"You wouldn't ask that if you she what she has. I'll bet it can be sold for a lot of money. The jewel on her necklace is one of a kind and if we had that, we will never need to work again and live a carefree life!" She told him. She didn't notice anyone enter the room until it was almost too late.

"Um… I'm sorry but I really have to get going. It was very nice of you to offer me a bath but I really need to go." Akane said quickly. She all but ran to the exit but fell to the ground when Oshati tripped her. The overweight couple charged at her and she quickly moved out of the way. They may be fat but definitely not slow. If they were in shape, she would easily be caught by them. She jumped over the man as he tried to grab her chest. Her eyes narrowed. "Hentai!" She yelled as she pounded him to the ground with her fist. She had turned her back on Oshati and the woman took advantage of it. She jumped on top of the girl and grabbed the necklace from around her neck.

"It's mine!" She said happily, but was surprised when Akane threw her off and ran towards the door. Accidentally she bumped into a cage and the cloth that hid it fell off. Inside was a beautiful red bird. Akane would have admired it more but it was then that Toui slammed her to the ground. If she was looking at the bird she might have seen it wince and hide its face in its wing.

"No! Get off me!" She threw the man against the wall and he slumped to the ground unconscious due to the force of her throw. The lady tried to snatch the necklace from her neck but was hit on the head with the mallet, she too, like her husband, slumped to the ground unconscious.

Akane breathed heavily because of all the body slams the couple did on her and there was also the few times that were lying on top of her causing her to lose air. She looked at the bird she saw a while before and forgot all about the pain in her chest. She opened the cage door to let the red familiar bird out. It was bigger than a hawk but smaller than an eagle, it had red feathers were tinted in gold around the edges. She carefully took hold of it and went out side. *I have to get away from here before they wake up. * She looked around her everything looked the same. *Shoot! Which way did I come from? * Everything around her looked identical and there were four routes that looked like the one she came from. "Hey there little one, do you know the way away from here?" She asked the bird hoping it would comfort her by hearing her own voice.

The bird cocked its head as if it was thinking. "Awk!" It replied. Then it took off.

"Should I follow it?" She asked herself. "It's better than staying here when they wake up. She shouldered her pack and took off running after the read bird. She followed it but wasn't fast enough and soon lost sight of it and was wondering over a deserted area with no idea of where to go. She sighed and looked dejectedly at the ground. Akane sat down on a small rock and thought of all the paths that she's taken. *I wonder if I took the wrong road. * She thought to herself.

*Oh well, it's too hard to regret now.... hmm.... I'm kinda hungry now lets see what is there to eat... * She rummaged through her pack and got out a small pot and a package of instant ramen. She gathered some dry sticks from around her and started a fire with some matches. *I'm too tired to rub sticks together. I just want to get something to eat and fall asleep. * She did just as she planned and just as her head hit the pillow, she was sleeping like the dead.....

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

There was a white light surrounding her and it felt so warm..... *White light?!! Ah! It's late!!! * The girl jumped out of the bed she was sleeping in and looked around. *Huh? * If anything, this looked like a normal room with everything that a young girl like her would need, even more so.... *How'd I get here? If I remember correctly then I fell asleep in the forest not here..... Did the couple find me? * Just then the door opened and an elder lady walked in.

"Oh, I see you're awake now." The woman was no more than five feet tall with blaring red hair and incredible golden eyes.

"Who are you?" Akane asked as she scooted away from the woman.

"You have nothing to be afraid of, Well you can call me hmmm...... just call me Nai-Nai. What is your name young one?" The woman said with a smile. Akane was hesitant to tell the strange woman her name so she quickly made up a fake one, one she could easily remember.

"I'm Kia, Nai-Nai?" Akane said hesitantly.

"Yes?" 'Nai-Nai' replied.

"Why am I here?" She asked. "And how did I get here?" Akane continued.

"I found you lying in the ground not too far from here and decided it would be best if I took you here… Don't worry, you'll find out why you're here soon enough." She said. There's a warm bath waiting for you a room next door. Why don't you take a bath and chance into a different set of clothing." She gestured to the ripped, soiled tank top and shorts that were in pretty much the same shape Akane was wearing.

Akane noticed she smelled slightly and decided to take Nai-Nai's suggestion. She was lead to a nearby room and left at the door. Nai-Nai had disappeared and she was alone. She pushed the door was hit by a wave of heat that was comforting to her. She went in and was aghast at the size of the bath area. *This is even bigger than the public pools! * She thought. She started to peal her clothing off and walked to the water's edge and carefully slid in. She gasped when her feet touched the hot water, not enough to burn mind you but impossibly hot none the less. *How in the world did she able to get such hot water? Is this a hot spring or something? * Akane closed her eyes and started to drift off the next time she open her eyes, she was going to be in for a big surprise.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Akane shifted to the right just in time to avoid a hit into her face. Akane blinked her eyes and jumped back. She grabbed a towel, from who knows where, and wrapped it around herself. "What in the world?" She looked around and waited for another attack. Her attacker didn't let her down as whoever it was launched a few dozen punches in a matter of seconds at her, all of which she was barely able to block, some got through and hit her in various places. "Who are you and what do you want?" Akane asked as she blocked a punch that was heading for her stomach. Because of the evaporating water causing a thick mist to cover everything, Akane couldn't see anything out side two feet of her much less an attacker who moved at swift speeds.

"Who are you?" Akane demanded again as she dodged a snap kick. She whirled around and delivered a few test punches against her attacker. Most of her punches were blocked or dodged. *I have to calm down or I'll get into bigger trouble. * She took a deep breath calming her nerves and relaxing her muscles as she attacked…. Soon she felt a peace that she could never remember feeling. Her movements speed up so even she was surprised when some of her punches and kicks were connecting with her opponent. After a few more minutes, which seemed like hours for Akane, her opponent stopped attacking and spoke up.

"Ah… I see that you still haven't lost your touch my youngin." The voice was very familiar to Akane. Some of the mist disappeared and there was her opponent….. Nai-Nai.

"Nai-Nai?"

A room somewhere in Japan

In a small dark room, a small figure twisted and turned in her covers, she was sweating profusely due to the nightmare she was having. It was something so horrible that no child should ever dream of. But this young girl did. Then she sat straight up in her bed breathing hard. She looked around her room. No one was in there except her and what little light the moon reflected in her room revealed a small dark portal that the girl didn't notice. Her eyes were strangely blank and her lips were tightly compressed. Then a beam of dark light shot through her heart and she fell back on to her bed, not dead but deep in slumber. The portal was now gone and the room was back to normal.

It, meaning the portal, could have been a shadow…. But it wasn't. Just be a part of an over active imagination but it wasn't… What or rather who did that portal belong to? What could this signify? Is it a good thing or bad?

Morning at the Tendo house

The family was about to have lunch. Ranma and Nabiki didn't have school due to the two-week spring break, and Nabiki since she wasn't planning to go to college quite yet. Kasumi and Nodoka brought out the food and lunch began.

"Nabiki have you found any trace of Akane yet?" Asked Nodoka the concern clear in her voice. *It's been a week and a half already and there still isn't any clue of where Akane is. *

"No. I had all of my workers out asking about her and no one had seen her." Nabiki replied in her patented neutral voice. *I can't believe that Akane is this hard to find! I know everything that happens around here and now I can't even find my little sister! I must be losing my edge. Or Akane knows me too well. No matter I will find her no matter what! *

Then Nabiki's cell phone started to ring. "Moshi Moshi?" Pause. "What?" Pause. "Really?" Pause. "Yeah." Pause. "Okay thanks Kimmi." Pause. "'Kay I'll check it right now." Pause. "Thanks again." Then Nabiki hung up the phone and ran up the stairs. There could he heard some rumbling and Nabiki came down with her laptop. She took her seat next to Kasumi and put it down on the table and opened it.

"What are you doing 'Biki?" Asked Kasumi in her usual soft calming voice.

"I think that I've found her. There was this old man, he said that he saw Akane and he wrote me a letter." Nabiki went into a few files and finally she started to scroll down one page. "Here it is. It says

'I've seen the girl that you described. She was on a train heading south. Then she jumped off the train and below us was a jagged cliff and really rough waters. There is no chance that she was able to survive. I would recommend that you stop trying to look for her. She is dead… I'm… really… sorry.'" The man didn't bother to tell Nabiki that he couldn't see faraway distances or the 'raging waters' was the sounds the train was making.

"No, No Akane can't be dead. She is just too young!"

"Akane!" Nodoka gasped. *No Akane can't die yet. She can't! Not even her mother was that young when she died. And Ranma, he loves her. *

"No." Kasumi gasped before she fainted dead away. *That is why she said that she was never going to return again. But that is not a very good way to solve any kind of problems. I can't believe that Akane would so such a thing. *

"No. No! I don't believe you. She isn't dead until I see her body. She can't be dead yet. I know I can feel that she is still alive. You are lying! I know that you are! She can't be dead yet. I haven't told her yet. I didn't get a chance to tell her yet." Tears started to make its way down Ranma's face. He didn't care if his mom saw his tears and thought that it was unmanly. He wanted to die, but couldn't. He didn't know what was holding him back but he just couldn't come to kill himself. The other girls looked at him sadly. They just hoped that he was right and that Akane really wasn't dead. Then he ran up the stairs to his room and there he stayed for the rest of the day.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Nai-Nai?" She questioned.

"Yes. You are very good Kia, better than I expected you to be." She let that comment sink into the girl before continuing. "But you have not reached your full potential yet."

"My full potential?" Akane repeated.

"Aa. You can be more powerful than you are now, if you become my student, then I will teach you how to gain that power." Nai-Nai answered. "Do you want to be my student?"

*What do I have to lose becoming her student? * Akane asked herself. *Absolutely nothing, only my soul and I really doubt she is someone the devil sent up to earth to steal my soul… * Akane thought with a smile. "Hai, I would be honored to be your student." She answered. Nai-Nai smiled and nodded.

"The first thing we need to do is fix your inability to keep balanced, then you must develop a sense of danger, and then…." Nai-Nai started to list off all the stuff Akane needs to fix in her form of fighting.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Tendo House the day after

Ukyou knocked on the door to the Tendo house. *Good thing Konatsu is here. Finally Akane is gone. Now Ranma will come into my arms. * Kasumi opened the door. She saw Ukyou's happy face and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Is Ran-chan here?" Ukyou asked as she stepped into the house, without Kasumi's permission. She saw Ranma making his was sitting at the dinner table eating. Quickly going over to him, she gave him a rib-cracking hug. "Hi Ran-chan!"

"Can't.. breathe!" Ranma tried to say. Before Nodaka could help her son, a purple blur came into the room. It went right over to Ranma and is said,

"You boy-girl get away from Airen!" the two stared a staring contest and a tug-of-war, using Ranma as the rope.

Ranma's other suitors were always over at the Tendos and destroying furniture, walls, and anything they could get their hands on trying the best they could to get the young martial artist's attention. This was the worst two weeks both emotionally and physically to the Tendos and Saotomes.

Juuban Tokyo

Sitting in a big apartment room was a young collage student. He was putting some books on to the shelf. His short mid-night blue hair was cut in an American style making him more handsome. His beautiful sea blue eyes held cheerfulness and fire but behind it there was a little sadness. His attention seemed far away. *I wonder if he was brought here? * Darien snapped back to reality when he heard the doorbell go off.

Gracefully getting off the ground where he was kneeling, he went over to the door and open the door to reveal a group of girls. All of them were very pretty but none of them seemed to be his age. Serena, a young girl of 16, with golden blonde hair, done in two buns and a streamer coming down from each bun, went in first. She was the about the same height as Mina and Ami, her two friends. She was wearing a short pink skirt and tight red shirt that showed off her figure.

Mina grew taller and still kept her hair back with a red bow. Her pale blonde hair now came past her waist. Her pale orange eyes held warmth and concern. She was wearing a orange sundress that ended two inches above her knees. Ami, the 'brains' of the group of girls, had light blue hair that was cut so it framed her face. Her blue eyes held intelligence and seem to be thinking wherever she was. She wore a short blue skirt and a matching pale blue shirt. Lita was still the tallest of the group and her long brown hair was held back with a green hair tie. She wore a pair of kaki pants and forest green shirt. Rei wore a short black skirt and a black shirt with a red vest. Her violate eyes held the fire of independence. There were also two cats one black and the other white both sat on either of the blondes' shoulder. Both had golden crescent moons on their foreheads.

"Hi Darien!" Serena said as she hugged him.

"Hey girls what are you doing here?" Surprise that his girlfriend was here.

"What? You don't want us over?" Lita said. The girls gave him the puppy dog look.

"No! Nothing like that!" Darien sputtered out. "It's just that I thought you would make today a shopping day." They all took a seat around the table. *Oh boy. * he thought as he went into the kitchen to get the girls a drink.

"What were you doing?" Serena asked curiously.

"Oh just cleaning up. I just got someone to share the apartment with. He'll be coming here tomorrow." Darien said as he came back into the room with a tray of drinks.

"Why do you need to share this apartment?" Mina asked.

"The owner raised the rent again and it is will be harder to pay the rent. So if I get a room mate then we can share the rent." Darien answered.

"But what about?" Ami let the sentence hanging. She knows that the others would be able to figure it out.

"I'll just have to be a little more careful. There are lots of windows here I can use." Darien gestured to the windows in the apartment. "So why aren't you guys out shopping?" Darien repeated the question he had asked to girls when they first came.

"Well I wanted to have a scout meeting." Rei said. "We decided to have it here because Grandpa and Chad are 'remolding' the temple. They kicked me out saying it was a surprise for me. I just really hope that they don't paint the whole place with hearts and bunnies like they did last time."

"What you don't like that?" Serena asked, shocked that her friend doesn't like that sort of stuff.

"No it's okay but…Darien, I hope it isn't a bother to have it here." Rei said hesitantly. She changed the subject because she didn't want Serena to start bawling.

"No, it's okay don't worry about it. When are the others going to come?" Darien asked.

"Oh they should be here any minute now." Just as Lita said that, there was a knock at the door. Darien opened it to see three other girls. Haruka, the tallest of the four had short dark blonde-brown hair that came a little past her ears. Setsuna, the second tallest of the four, wore her usual purple top and skirt. Half of her forest green hair was done in a bun and the rest was left down. Michiru left her wavy aqua green hair down falling past her shoulders. She wore a white sundress that flared out around her knees.

"Hey girls! Come on in. Where's Hotaru?" Darien asked as he moved to make room for the girls to enter his apartment. They all shared their greetings and sat down at the table.

"So Rei, why did you call a scout meeting?" Asked Haruka.

"Well I have been having this really weird dream and was wondering if any of you have been having any." All of them shook their heads except for Darien and Serena. "Darien, Serena have you been having dreams?" They nodded slightly. "Do you want to tell it?"

"Yeah. Well mine, I took place back in the Silver Millennium, in the garden of the Earth kingdom." Everyone looks at Darien as he told them his dream.

>>>>DREAM > > > >

In a clear opening in a big field, a young man stood next to his guardian and friend. "Hey Ed," The young man with long dark hair said. His white armor lined with silver covered him from neck down. There was a strange necklace peaking out from underneath it however…. He was cleaning his broad sword that is made of translucent material, the hilt was made of smooth white stone and a silver colored dragon encircled the hilt and part of the sword it's self. It was a rare item indeed for the material needed to make it was no longer found on this earth. The prince of the earth was dressed in his usual dark blue armor and his iron sword was hidden in its sheath.

"Hey yourself, ego boy." The prince replied with a smile. His friend didn't return their usual batter and this worried him slightly before he figured out what was wrong with is friend. "So, you're still upset about being sent to the village are you not?" He asked.

"No, of course not." The man dressed in white answered in a sarcastic tone. "Why would I be upset? Just because I'm the best fighter in the whole planet, I get sent to some village to guard it from something your father won't even tell me, while everyone else gets to go kick some bad guy butt!" He replied.

"You're still upset…" He paused. "You should know that Father would never send you somewhere you don't need to be. If you're sent to a village to protect it, there must be a very good reason, why don't you just go? You might meet someone special." Then he looked his friend over. "Then again, what girl in their right mind would go after you, Mr. I'm-the-best-no-one-can-beat-me." The prince mocked his guardian. His friend punched him on the shoulder, hard.

"Fine! I'll go, but it doesn't mean that I want to go!" He turned away pretending to be seething in anger.

"Oh, drop the act why don't you? You can't fool me, I know you too well." Then he patted the long haired man on the back. "You'd better come back in one piece."

"Why wouldn't I?" His friend replied. "I'll be back to annoy you before you know it buddy, so watch your back, you won't know when I'll be returning." The man warned before waving is hand creating a black portal. He smirked to his long time friend. "Oh, have fun with the Moon Princess." He smirked and jumped into the black hole before his friend could attack him.

>>>>END DREAM > > > >

Everyone listened intently to Darien as he told them about his dreams, leaving out the part about the Moon Princess.

"So you are suppose to be Ed right?" Serena said giggling. The other girls also let out some giggles. "Then who is the other guy?"

"Yeah I think so. But I don't see anything funny about that. He was supposed to be my guardian but my father assigned him to a small village a little ways from the castle. He was also my best friend and we've known each other ever since we were three. I never saw him after that day." Darien commented sadly.

"..." The girls said.

"Why do you think your father send him that village?" Lita asked after she gathered her thoughts.

"He said that someone who lived in the village was the key to the whole universe and that he was supposed to protect who ever it was with his life." He answered.

"Wait a minute, Artemis, wasn't there some guardian from earth appearing at the palace before the Negaverse attacked?" Luna, the black cat asked the white one. He muttered something about 'not spending any more time with these girls or he'll become like them…..'

"Hmm…. Yeah… He came a few minutes before that big explosion that happened at the other end of the galaxy." He answered.

"What big explosion?" Mina, his owner asked.

"Well the man he came and then left cursing someone under his breath then he left. I believe that he went to where his friend was at. The explosion was created by them, it lit up the whole sky, I think that if they weren't on the opposite end of the galaxy then all the planets that we know of today, will not be here." He answered.

"Wait a minute, where were we at the time?" Lita asked.

"Well all of you were inside the place dancing, eating or out in the garden marveling at it. You guys didn't know when the Negaverse was attacking until the queen called you to her and told you about it."

"Don't even think that you guys are strong enough to take care of the whole Negaverse, the ones you fought with on the moon were only a small percentage, maybe five or so, but most of them died in the explosion." Luna advised. "You must start preparing yourselves for the stronger enemies that will appear." No need to say aloud the reason for they knew if something strange starts to happen, a powerful adversary will appear.

"Hey Serena, didn't you have a dream too?" Lita asked uncomfortable with the silence.

"Well mine took place on the Moon kingdom…" Her voice faded away.

>>>>DREAM > > > >

In an exotic garden near the palace a young beautiful sixteen year old stood starring out into the night. She dressed a blue dress that went down to around the floor. Her top stopped an inch under her breasts revealing her flat stomach. Her sleeves, made by some clear fabric, went halfway down her forearm where it met a pair of silver bracers. Around her forehead, she wore a black chain and dangling off it are beads. It had all the colors of the spectrum, each shining with a light of its own accord. She looked up as she heard footsteps coming from behind her, she knew who it was and smiled.

The girl had long golden blonde hair that was pulled back into two buns on either side of her head both encircled in a ring of pale pink flowers, this brought out her incredible blue eyes. The blonde haired girl was wearing a white dress that had no sleeves, only staying on because it was clinging to her chest. She hugged the older girl as tears flowed from her eyes.

"Ka-chan, do you really have to leave?" she whispered to her dark eyed friend.

"Yes. You know I do. My mother is sick I have to go back to take care of her." The pain in her chest was almost too painful to hide. Air entered her lungs and she slowly let it out, not wanting her friend to know of her inner turmoil. "Don't worry I'll be back, Sere." She said smiling. Sere looked up from her friend's shoulder and into her eyes, she was the younger of the two and was much more innocent that her older friend. Ka-chan was a year older than her but knew many many things grown men never knew of much less young girls... but she was strong… strong enough to…..

"Do you promise?" She asked. Ka-chan nodded. "I'll never forget you…"

"Nor will I immoto… nor will I." Then Ka-chan pulled away from her friend and bowed. "Good bye Sere." Then she turned and walked away…. Away into darkness…. Horrible lonely darkness that no one would ever want to experience….

>>>>END DREAM > > > >

"Did you ever see her again?" Mina asked. Serena shook her head.

"No. She left that day for earth but never returned. I wonder if she was reborn into this time… Serena wondered to herself.

"If she took some part in the battle with the Negaverse, then she has a chance. If not then, she probably wasn't reborn." Luna answered. She nuzzled her head against her mistress' thigh hoping to comfort her.

"I really hope she was, I miss her so much…" Serena's mind was still wrapped around her recently reoccurring dreams, she didn't feel the heat and tingling feelings in her eyes, signifying she is about to cry. Raye however did.

"Why don't I tell you about the dream I had.. I don't know what to say about it except it was very weird. When ever I think about it, I get the chills. It's not like Serena's or Darien's, it's a dream of the future…" her voice trailed off.

>>>>DREAM > > > >

Sailor Mars looks around and sees all eight of her sailor friends, along with another girl in something that look like the other sailor fukus. Her skirt deep red and outlined in gold, went to about mid-thigh. Her white leotard was like the others, formfitting. The bow at the front of her dress was also red, but different from that of the bow, with silver trimming. At the center of the bow however was a golden broach that was in the shape of a star. The bow on her back was the same color as the front bow except it was made of a clear material and was longer than the other scouts, reaching her ankles. Around her neck is a choker; in the center of it was a mysterious crimson stone that had a golden like flame in the middle. On her forehead was a stone similar to the one on her choker except it was smaller. Covering her hands were gloves, it went a little past her wrist and was toped with soft pale yellow material. Her boots were like Jupiter's but it was light red mixed with a touch of silver outlining on the edges. She had short dark hair, similar to that of Mercury that had red running through it every now and then. Her golden eyes were set in determination.

Her companion was taller than her wearing a white tuxedo that looks almost light blue. It was almost like Tuxedo Mask's tuxedo but was shorter, going only to about his waist, and two long tails that are coming out of the back. The shirt that he was wearing underneath was about the same color as the pants he was wearing. The sash that was wrapped around his waist was of that color only to be made of silk. He too had a pair of white gloves that matched his outfit. His hair was midnight black. She could tell it was long but how he wore, it was not important to her now.

"Well, well, well. Is it not the Sailor Twerps? You will need more than that to beat me!" said a shadow darker than a moon and starless night.

"Well how about we show him scouts?" Sailor Neptune asked.

"Yeah do what you think you can. You couldn't even beat me even if I was on my worst day and you on your best!" He said then laughed a laugh filled with menace that sent shivers down all of their spines.

"You are not going to do that! Not to anyone of us here nor anyone else! Well, at least not when I'm around." Sailor moon said.

"Come on lets beat 'em!" said the man in the white tuxedo.

"I suggest that we hurry up and beat this thing. It's gathering up its energy and fast," answered Mercury.

"Any suggestions?" The girl asked.

"Yeah! Lets go whip it's ugly butt!!" as the young man said this he charged up at the shadow and threw out one of his weaker attacks.

>>>>END DREAM > > > >

"That is all that my dreams showed me. I tried to ask the Great Fire but even it couldn't produce any sort of answer."

"Luna was there another sailor scout back in the Silver Millennium?" asked Ami as she continued to type on her computer.

"I don't have that good of a memory. Artemis?" Luna replied.

"I don't know Luna, I just don't know…." The white cat answered. Once again an uncomfortable air of silence surrounded the group.

"Just as Luna said, there will be a strong evil that will come very soon. You must all watch each others' backs if not, someone will be horribly hurt. But now, I have to go." Setsuna said, silently standing up. "I have to get ready for something. What ever you guys find out and decide to do, you must be careful or everything will be lost." Then she left the room letting everyone ponder upon her words.

Setsuna walked out of the apartment and into the one she shared with the other outers. She sat down on the bed, so deep in thought; she didn't notice a small shadow outside her door watching her sadly. *The time is very close now. If they lose this battle then everything will be gone. * She thought as she closed her eyes. *I just wish I could do something to prevent this but The power that is coming is too strong. Only they will be able to fight it. I hate feeling like this! I am the Guardian of the Gates of Time, I should have the power, but I don't I have to wait until the two of them get here before anything happens. * She rolled over on the bed so she was laying on her side. *The evil is so strong, it's even blocked the passage to the Gates of Time. I hope they get here soon or everything will be gone. *

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

The others stared at the door Setsuna just left through. "I hope what she said happens soon. It's so boring now without any one to fight with. It's been a really long time since the Sailors need to save the world." Lita said.

"You like fighting, and getting hurt?" asked Mina.

"Yes…no… Yes I like fighting. It gives me something to do other than sit and do school work. And sometimes we even get out of school early because of it." Lita explained.

"Oh. Well it's always nice to leave school early." Mina agreed.

Back in Nermia

"Ranma?"

"Yes mom?" They were in Akane's room. Ever since they got news that Akane was dead Ranma moved into her room.

"I want to tell you that I have transferred you to another school. I hope that you aren't mad. You are always so sad and the fiancées have been more aggressive than usual, if you want you can move to Juuban then it might help you. I already rented an apartment for you and you can move there whenever you want. It's not that I want you to leave. I really want to be with you and never let you out of my sight but I have to do what is good for you. Do you want to go?"

"Thank-you mom. You and Kasumi, who understands me." *Besides Akane. * They both thought at the same time. Ranma reached out and gave his mom a hug.

"You can pack now. When do you want to leave?" She asked sadly.

"How about tomorrow? It's Saturday and I won't miss much at school since we are having a half day." He looked a little happier but not much. At least that he would be able to get away from all his fiancées.

"Okay I'll get you the train ticket. Don't worry I won't let anyone know where you are." She said as she hugged her son close to her.

"Thank-you so much mom." Truly grateful to have such an understanding mom, he returned her hug.

"What are mothers for?" Nodoka gave Ranma a gentle squeeze then she took his hand and put a necklace into it. It was beautiful. A silvery blue in color and wasn't all that big when he touched it he felt a warmth envelope him. Then Nodoka excused herself and went down to the kitchen to help the eldest Tendo with lunch. After Nodoka left Ranma got out a pack and started to put his things into it. Then a small picture fell out of one of his shirts. Ranma bent over and picked it up and almost dropped it a second time. It was a picture of a young girl wearing a wide brim white hat, and a white dress. She had a small smile on her face. Then he took out some more pictures from the bottom of his dresser. There was a picture of him in Neko-form sitting on Akane's lap and his head was turned up to kiss her. He had bought it from Nabiki a long time ago. The others were of the same girl, one where she was brushing some stray hair out of her eyes. And another where she was gazing deeply into something. He knew that if he didn't get away from here, he would go crazy and if he didn't then he was afraid that he would forget about Akane. *No. * He thought. *I will never forget about her. Not now and never will. * He laid down on his futon and slowly he drifted off to sleep, a deep restless sleep...

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

The next day

Kasumi, Nabiki and Nodaka were at the train station to see Ranma off to Juuban. Ranma gave each of them a hug and thanked each of them for their support. And Kasumi whispered into his ear, "No need to thank us Ranma, you are like a brother to me and Nabiki," She didn't continue with her sentence for she feared the reaction that Ranma would give off.

"Come and visit 'kay?" Kasumi said in her happy tone.

"Don't worry I'll come and visit. And you have to come to Juuban sometimes too because it wouldn't be fair if I always came here and you don't come visit me." He told the Tendo sisters and his mother, making them giggle somewhat. "Thank-you so much mom, for doing this for me." Then he kissed each of their cheeks and went on to the train. (Me: I have no clue what is on a train so I'm just making it how I think it is okay? Thanks for understanding! ^_^ ) He sat down in one of the seats and picked up a magazine and started to read it. As he flipped through the magazine, an article caught his eyes. There was a blurry picture of seven girls posing next to a man in what seemed like a tuxedo. *And Akane thought I was a pervert, look at this guy, he has seven while I only have four. * He was by no means jealous but he did feel sadness that he didn't want to feel. He read the article and learned that the guy in the picture wasn't actually in any affiliation with any of the girls except it seems that he always watches out for the one in the middle…. The one that seemed peculiarly familiar…

*I guess Nerima isn't the only place that is filled with craziness in Japan. * Ranma thought with a smile. *I wonder if I'll meet with any of the monsters…. I don't believe girls in short skirts can defeat super powered monsters… that is unless the monsters are really cheap and can't fight right….. * His pride glowed knowing his was very good in the arts…
