Chapter 1
Nodoka arrived at class and gave the letter to the teacher.
As Nodoka looked around the class she spotted a happy Achika and Kimiko. The teacher stood up and said, " Class we have a new student. Her name is Nodoka Tsuki. Treat her with courtesy and respect. Ms. Tsuki you can take a seat next to Ms. Masaki. Also class, remember the class field trip to Tokyo Tower next week. I'll need your permission slips by the end of the week. Now to continue our lesson."
Nodoka sat next to Achika and the two talked quietly as they took notes. Kimiko joined in. The three friends were smiling to each other and turned their heads as one unit to the opening door. In came Ayeka and Ryoko. Nodoka's face lost its color and her smile disappeared. She looked down at her notes and took a deep breath or two.
Achika looked toward her friend then back to the newcomers, ' Nodoka looks like she is scared of these new people. Why be afraid. They seem nice enough.'
* * * *
Ayeka and Ryoko looked toward Achika, Kimiko and Nodoka and Ayeka felt something from Nodoka, something powerful but not evil.
Ayeka and Ryoko sat by the three and was kindly greeted by Kimiko. Achika smiled in greeting, but her concern for Nodoka at her reaction to the newcomers was paramount at the moment.
Ryoko watched roundaboutly at the interaction between Achika and Nodoka with great interest. 'That girl Tenchi's mother Achika is talking is very nervous, it seems, Ayeka and me, and powerful. I can feel it. Why I wonder? Maybe I can find out. She seems familiar.'
With a bit of power Ryoko made her hearing tuned to hear the whispered conversation.
". . . .Why are you so scared of those new comers Nodoka? They don't seem dangerous I know they are not." Ryoko looked puzzled and thought, 'Scared? What did we do?' " Achika I'm not scared, well not really in any case. I'm more worried. I knew them both in the past. I don't think they would remember. It seems like 'centuries' since I last met them." " So their your friends, so what worries you?" " Nothing Achika. Ncvermind."
Ryoko took in the information and knew she would have to tell Ayeka, no matter how much it irritated her to do that, 'Reporting to Ayeka on a development. Geez what a day.'
* * * *
When the day was over Achika said bye to Kimiko and walked beside Nodoka and asked, " Hey Nodoka, would you like to eat over at my house tonight? I'm so my father would love to meet you."
Nodoka's depressed expression disappeared and she said, " Sure!" Achika smiled and she lead Nodoka to her bus that went passed her house.
They arrived at the path leading to the shrine. They climbed the steps and arrived at the shrine and Achika called out, " Father! Father! Come here please and meet my new friend."
* * * *
Katsuhito came from the small building and met up with a familiar face almost identical to his. He saw through the disguise field just as he knew she saw through his, but hid his shock with a cheery face and a, " Hello. Welcome home from daughter. So who is your friend."
Achika hugged her father in replied and said, " Father, Nodoka. Nodoka, my father Katsuhito Masaki." " Please to me you sir." " You as well."
Achika smiled and said, " I'll return in a minute. I'm going to change." The brother and sister nodded and Achika left.
Nodoka dropped her disguise and returned to the tall, shiny dark blue haired first princess of Juri and said, " Drop the field for a moment brother. I can see through it anyway."
He dropped the magic and said, " Norika what are you doing here and what are you doing going to my daughter's school?" " Seven hundred years I've been on this planet brother just as you have. I'm living a lie Yosho. To your questions though; one, my niece invited me for dinner, second, I wanted to try school and hers was the first I came across that seems interesting enough to try."
Both returned their disguise fields when they both felt the return of Achika. She opened the door and Nodoka quickly said, " Achika was kind enough to be my friend. Her and Kimiko both." Yosho smiled and said in reply, " Ah yes. Kind, gentle Kimiko. That girl is a saint."
Achika entered wearing blue shorts and a white shirt. She and Nodoka left Katsuhito to think on his discovery.
* * * *
Ryoko pulled Ayeka aside the next morning and told her about the conversation she heard and Ayeka said, " She said she knew us in the past and stressed that it felt like centuries and that we probably don't remember her?" " Yes." " How is that possible? I mean right now the only people that would know us centuries is/was my brother Yosho and my oldest sister. . . .Norika!"
Ryoko was confused, 'Oldest sister?' " Oldest sister? I don't remember any older siblings to you except Yosho." " You wouldn't. She was on the ground watching your fight with Yosho. She was protecting me from your stray energy beams. No one really knew about Norika. She stayed hidden in the palace learning to fight and learning court etiquette; just in case something happened to Yosho. No one expected her to follow him here. She didn't return, just like Yosho. Everyone thought they were dead. I cried myself to sleep many times. She was/is father and Aunt Funaho's second born; only about sixty years younger then Yosho. Aunt Funaho grieved a long time for Yosho and Norika. She loved them so much. Norika and Yosho are identical, except for the eyes. Norika's were dark blue, while Yosho's were purple."
Ryoko took this all in and nodded. It was then that Ayeka's spy log from the day before appeared and it showed what happened after the stairs incident.
Ayeka gasped and Ryoko was in shock. There in the hologram was a Yosho look-alike, but female. They saw the barrier drop and the log guardians appear, say something, and disappear. Ayeka was so happy she started crying. Ryoko just stood there as the woman crossed her memory.
She remembered that battle with Yosho while she was under Kagato's control. Yosho's like-alike looking on in a serious-calm way. Ryoko shook her head and then saw Tenchi and Ranma come up to them and Ranma said, " Why is Ayeka crying?" " Something about an older sister named Norika."
Ranma tensed and said, " That sounds almost like my mother's name, Nodoka." Ryoko looked at Ranma and saw a certain resemblance to the woman in the hologram of the spy log, nut also to the Nodoka Tsuki girl and said, " That's it! I knew she was familiar. I saw your face on her. She's dead right?" Ranma nodded and said, " Yes that is what pops said. Why?" " Do you want to see her. I know you don't have pictures." Ranma nodded and grabbed Ryoko's hand and she teleported to an area close to where Achika and Nodoka have been gathering when they were together.
Ryoko saw them and pointed out Nodoka, " You see the one with reddish-brown hair? That you mother Ranma."
Ranma looked at the teen and just stared. He didn't remember her and now he saw her, then for a second he saw a beautiful dark blue haired woman in her place and a bit of memory crossed his eyes then it was all gone.
Suddenly he clasped to the ground in pain and Ryoko released a glowing gold net that caught him. His fading stopped and the net retracted back into the bag that had formed before Ryoko and he said, " Thanks Ryoko." " No problem Ranma." Suddenly Ryoko gasped in surprise once Ranma got to his feet and he looked at her puzzled and asked, " What's the matter?" " You look different; still some same, but still different. Look at yourself. Go to the bit of water over there and look." " You know how it goes with me and water. I turn into a girl for goodness sake." " Just go and look. I'll make sure you don't fall in."
Ranma nodded and went to the bit of water and looked at himself. He gasped then. He was taller, more muscular, about 6'2", At his waist was a belt and a wood/medal sword hilt. A confusing thing, he never used weapons. His face had a stronger look to it, more chiseled. His eyes were a deeper shade of blue with purple mixed in. His hair was shiny raven black with deep blue highlights. Has he stepped away from the water in shock he felt that his movements were more graceful and he felt a regal air around himself. He even felt more in control of himself and his emotions.
He looked to Ryoko to see her staring at him lustfully and he laughed nervously. He rubbed the back of his neck in an action that he recalled Tenchi doing all the time, like they were related or something, instead of just friends. He swallowed hard as Ryoko started to stalk him. He 'epp'ed and ran. Ayeka looked at them and suddenly she said, " Ryoko you leave Lord Ranma alone!" She gasped at her words and thought, 'Lord Ranma? Why did I say that? He is not related to the Juri Royal family.'
* * * *
The following week was the class trip. Nodoka, Achika, and Kimiko were ecstatic. Nodoka of course acted. She had seen it, but never entered it. So not all of her hyper ness was false.
Once they arrived the first group of students, including Achika, Nodoka, Kimiko, Noboyuki, Gray and Ranma. Tenchi jumped in at the last moment. On its way up, the elevator stopped. Tenchi, Ranma, Achika and Nodoka sensed the evil energy.
Nodoka, Tenchi, and Ranma were at the ready when one of the walls to the elevator melted. A black mist appeared and started to talk in a muffled, but still very frightening voice, " Energy of the Juri royal family is near. I can feel it. So much power. Which one is it?"
A strong wind picked up and Nodoka and Achika stood erect with identical expression on their faces. They looked related then (go figure) to any that noticed, which was only Ranma and Tenchi, and it made them very confused. The winds made the black mist named Kain disappear.
The group of students got off in a panic after that, except three. While most of the group went for the stairs only six stayed, because Kain had made it impossible for them to leave the observation deck they were on.
" Juri energy. I feel it. Where is it." Tenchi ran out in front of Kain and said, " Here. I'm here. Come and get it." " Ah you have power. Let's see how much."
Tenchi charged screaming, " I won't let you touch my mother!" Achika gasped as she felt something at that and said quietly to herself, but Nodoka heard, " Mother?" Ranma joined the fight when he saw Tenchi losing. He grabbed the hilt at his belt and it lit up in energy, much bigger then Tenchi's sword and Nodoka recognized it and was about to say something when Ranma called out, " That goes for me to. She's my cousin and my mother is here to. Your dead." Kain looked toward Ranma and his white mask for a face's expression showed the glee of malice and he said, " Ah. You have much more power. Juri energy travels through you in large number, almost completely overpowering your human energy. I like that. Fight me then and lose." " Never!"
Nodoka watched Ranma fight and felt something and she got up in unison with Achika as they saw the two young men losing against the evil being before them. In unison with Achika they said, " Stop!" The voices echoed loudly and Kain stopped and so did Ranma and Tenchi. They looked in horror as power flew off of the two women and Kain said in malignant glee, " Yes! This is the power I am seeking."
Suddenly Tenchi through a strange-looking devise in front of Kain and he and Ranma ran to the group of four: Noboyuki, Achika, Nodoka, and Gray. They told them to run. Gray grabbed Nodoka and pulled her close to his body and ran. The devise opened and the group held on to something as Kain was sucked in, but he wasn't going to go alone. He grabbed a hold of Achika's foot and started to pull her in. Nodoka grabbed her hand and in turn the four guys tried to hold on. Ranma's grip slipped and Achika, Nodoka, Noboyuki and Gray were sucked in the devise.
* * * *
In the sub-dimension
Nodoka and Achika woke up to see the barren landscape around them. They called to the guys and didn't get replies.
The two of them walked straight forward in their ripped clothes and found the guys and Kain. Kain held Noboyuki and the two girls acted.
Nodoka ran to Gray's prone body and placed his head on her lap. As she held him she dropped her disguise field and released some of her power, which transformed her clothes into flowing robes. The wind picked up and then got stronger and Nodoka saw Achika change as well.
Nodoka got up from her sitting position and gently placed Gray head to the ground. She went to Achika's side and placed a hand on her shoulder just as she saw Tenchi's body behind her on the ground.
Achika turned toward Nodoka and gasped at the woman there and said, " Who are you? Where is Nodoka?" The regal voice that answered her shocked her, " My name is Norika, Princess Norika of the planet Juri. First princess actually. You also know me as Nodoka. Your ancestor Yosho was my older brother, and is your father. This is what I truly look like. What you saw was a disguise field. The power you feel coursing through your body, is strong, but not mature enough to use without dire consequences. If you use it, it will cut your life in 1/2. You would live another ten to twelve years then die. My power is mature and is much more stronger then yours, and I know how to use it without death or short life. I will destroy Kain. Help me only if you deem it necessary my niece." " I understand Nodoka, no my Aunt Norika."
Nodoka now Norika nodded and turned toward the weakened Kain and raised her hand and the sword Tenchi, or master key flew to it and she channeled her power through it, and formed a large blade and brought it down and cut Kain in half. It destroyed him.
Spent Norika clasped to the ground with heavy breaths. She felt herself lifted and saw Gray smiling his bruised face down at her. He knew who she was, even in her real form. It lightened her heart. Norika raised her hand to the bruise and gently caressed it, and then she fell to sleep as they returned to the real world.
* * * *
Norika opened her eyes to see Ayeka and Ryoko leaning over her. Achika was looking at them and Ayeka replied, " Lady Achika, Lady Norika. We have to use these to erase our meeting from you."
Ayeka opened a black box and glowing triangles were seen, and Norika said, " I understand. Do what you have to do little sister." " Norika, dear sister. It has been a long time and unfortunately it must end for now." Norika nodded and thought to her ship, 'Sayda have you recorded everything that has happened?' * Of course. * 'Great. What has happened over the last week in a half I want you to put in a secret place in the ships logs and place the codes in my pendant and make sure I get an inkling in the future to do a overview of the ship logs and memory.' * Ok princess. *
Ayeka placed the triangles on Norika, not knowing that all that has happened since she arrived at this school was being placed in encoded files on Norika's ship, Gray, Noboyuki, and Achika's heads. Following that Ayeka, Ryoko, an unconscious Tenchi, and Ranma disappeared back to when they had come from
Nodoka arrived at class and gave the letter to the teacher.
As Nodoka looked around the class she spotted a happy Achika and Kimiko. The teacher stood up and said, " Class we have a new student. Her name is Nodoka Tsuki. Treat her with courtesy and respect.
