The woman at the door shook her head.
"Sorry, she moved away from here months ago. Trying to escape the fame from that no good son of hers." Ranma's face sagged.
"Oh sorry to bother you then. Do you know where she moved to?" The woman shook her head.
"Some where over in Juban, but that's all I know." Ranma bowed and started backing towards the gate.
"Well, thank you for your time." But once he was outside his smile disappeared and was replaced by a look of grimness.
"Okay, Juban's only a couple hundred thousand people, surly I can find her quick enough." He fell on his knees and started crying two large waterfalls of tears.
"Who am I kidding!!! I'll never find her!!! Oh Fate, why doth thou treat me so harshly?!?!" Fate appeared as a black cat with large yellow eye's.
"Meow?"
"AIEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Exit stage right.

Over in Juban another person was screaming.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!! REI!!!! Come on!!!" Rei Hinoko frowned and shook her head.
"No Sereana, We're not going." Sereana's eyes started watering up and she held her hands in front of her face as if to keep back the impending waterfalls of tears.
"But.but we have to! They just got the new Sailor V game." Rei dropped her text book on the table she and her friends were studying around and growled.
"We have to study for tomorrows test. We don't have time to waste at the arcade. Besides, only an idiot would spend their free time blowing up demons." Serana continued to pout. Leta's face contorted into a mock frown.
"Well if you're an idiot for blowing up demons then I guess that means were the dumbest people on the face of the earth." Ami smiled shyly.
"Well Seriana does kill more demons then the rest of us. Maybe your theory is true Rei."
"Whaaaa!!! Why are you all so mean!?" Rei sighed.
"Can we please get back to studying?" Mina snapped her book shut.
"We've been at this for over three hours, Why don't we go down to the arcade for a break? I want to see if they got my good side this time." _________________________
Rie sighed as she changed into her temple maiden clothes. She had decided not to join her friends and instead get a jump start on her chores. She picked up her broom and was sweeping the courtyard when her grandpa hopped up.
"Why the long face Rei? Get in a fight with your boyfriend?" Rei sighed.
"No, my girl friends." The old man clasped his hands behind his back and nodded while trying to look wise.
"Ah yes, friends are often a source of pain. Oh, I almost forgot. You need to be careful out here Rei. There was a report that Ranma the Stampede was seen in this area."
"Oh no!"
"Yes, once you finish you'd better come inside."
"Alright Grandpa." Rei went back to her sweeping with a cautious eye peeled for anything suspicious. Once she was finished she put her broom away and was heading back to the house when she saw a flash of scarlet disappear into the shrine. Walking as quietly as she could she peered around look inside to see a blonde man wearing a red coat standing in front of the statue of Buddha. Even though she was supposed to head for safety Rei decided that her temple duties came first.
"Can I help you with anything sir?" The man shook his head.
"I've just got a lot of troubles, seems I've got my entire life's worth of bad luck all at once."
"We have ways of fixing that here. What kind of bad luck are you having? Girl trouble, family trouble, legal trouble?" The man turned around and Rei felt her heart jump into her throat. His face matched the pictures she had seen on the news.
"All of the above and more."
"Ahhhhhhh!!! It's you!!!" Rei fell and started scrambling backwards out of the shrine until she bumped into something large and fuzzy. She looked up terrified into the blank expression of a fully-grown panda. The clacking sound of heavy boots on stone rang through the courtyard and Rei looked over to see the man drawing a gun from his holster. Then everything went black.

Rei woke up to find herself lying on her bed. Her grandfather sat by looking worried.
"Oh Rei thank goodness you're awake. Miss Ranko here said you had a run in with Ranma the Stampede."
".who." Rei groggily looked over at the door frame to see a voluptuous red head wearing a shirt and black pants that were much to big for her. The stranger waved her hand.
"Hello! Glad you're feeling better." Rei's grandfather chuckled and walked towards the door.
"Well I've got to go report this to the police so why don't you just lay back and rest for now." Ranko nodded enthusiastically.
"You really should, after facing down Ranma I'd be scared out of my wits." Rei smiled.
"I think I'll do that, thanks Ranko." She lay back and closed her eyes but once the door had clicked shut she sprang from her bed and began to change into her regular clothes. Looking out the window she saw Ranko at the gate- waving goodbye to somebody on the porch.
"Nice try mister. I may have just woken up but I can sense magic a mile away." A few moments latter Rei's grandfather found her room empty.

Ranma-chan frowned as she looked franticly for her father. After popping his pop over the head with the but of his gun Genma had disappeared into a nearby park to lick his wounds. Ranma had had to splash himself and carry the unconscious girl into the house before attempting to find Genma and he was beginning to think that he was gone for good this time. Right now he was deciding whether to be happy or sad at this fact. Suddenly from the underbrush a ball of fire shot forth followed by a call of "Mars Fire Ignite!" With a scream of surprise Ranma-chan twisted her body to barely avoid becoming barbecue. This resulted in her falling face first into a drinking fountain. Concrete was no match for the hardest substance known to man and the artificial stone crumbled before Ranma's mighty skull, drenching him with cold water. "I knew you used some kind of magic to hide your true self, now surrender or face the wrath of Sailor Mars!" Ranma looked over at a girl dressed in a red sailor suit with red high heels and a tiara set with a red ruby. The fact that she was standing on top of a street lamp combined with the fact that her skirt was VERY short suddenly made him regret turning back into a male.
Uh miss Rei? What are you doing?" Rie stared at Ranma in shock then regained her composure.
"Oh I see, your magic allows you to see who I really am. Well that won't matter once I send you back to where you came from." Ranma blink blinked in confusion.
"What magic? You just changed into a school uniform and put on some jewelry. Maybe if you changed your hair at least but only an idiot wouldn't recognize you." Rei extended her pointer and pinky fingers while keeping the others under her thumb and began waving around.
"I don't care what you think! Evil villains like you need to be taught a lesson and for your crimes I will punish you."
"But I'm not an evil villain, if you people would just listen to my side."
"Silence knave! Mars Phonix." But before Rei could finish her attack a white blur jumped out of the bushes, grabbed Ranma, and disappeared into the trees. Rei scowled and chased after it but it was soon gone. After coming to a rest she realized to her horror that the most wanted man on the planet now knew her secret identity.
"Darn you Ranma! I'll get you yet!

Ranma found himself being bodily carried once again as his father bound from tree to tree. Deciding they had gone far enough Ranma elbowed the fat man in the gut making him drop his load.
"Damn it boy! What did you do that for!" Ranma shrugged his shoulders and began surveying the terrain.
"I don't want to leave Juban. I still have to find mom."
"But when we do find her she'll cut our heads off!" Ranma rolled his eyes.
"Oh you worry to much."
