The next day…

Ranma was woken up to the feeling of disorientation as he was thrown out of the window. Twisting in midair he land on one of the rocks surrounding the Tendo's family pond,

"What the heck do you think you're doing, old man?" asked Ranma glaring at Genma,

"You're getting lazy boy!" replied Genma jumping out the window at his son.

Ranma's glare intensified, "Lazy?!"

((He goes down!)) growled Hikari,

((Couldn't agree with you more!)) growled Ranma,

((How about we teach him a lesson?)) asked Yami, ((The damage we did last night should still be sensitive.))

((Yeah, wasn't it his gut we centred on?)) asked Ranma,

((Yeah, we were very picky about where we hit him.)) said Hikari,

((Well then, let's get started!)) said Yami cheerfully. Ranma leapt at Genma all three of them punched at the same time, Genma's eyes bulged at his stomach exploded in pain. He landed on the ground holding his stomach,

"Suck on that, old man!" said Ranma. As he walked away he smirked, since meeting Hikari and Yami his life got better and better. First they found out that if all three of them hit something or want to do something at the same time the result was multiplied by three. The second thing was money, he actually had money. After they left Jusenkyo, Yami had entered them in an underground tournament and bet on them, of course they borrowed some money from Genma, but he didn't miss it.

The first fight was easy and since nobody believed he could beat his opponent they all bet against him, when he won, he received at least 1,000,000 yen. Then came his second match against a slightly tougher opponent, once again they bet against him, he won again. This continued for three matches after, then they started to bet on him. After that they moved onto another tournament with the same results, this continued all the way through China. And lastly his skill, his school of martial arts didn't specialize in one style instead mixing others into it. He'd been brought up that learning wasn't important, but thanks to Hikari and Yami, he knew that libraries had information on martial arts and thus were important. They had to forcefully drag him to the library, hours later they couldn't get him out, he just didn't want to leave.

Later…

Ranma sat facing Genma in the spare room they were staying in,

"School?" asked Ranma

Genma nodded, "Well, we are going to be staying here awhile."

"It's the same school me and Akane go to!" said Nabiki as she passed the room,

"Nabiki wait! I'll go with you!" cried Akane as she ran to catch up with Nabiki,

"What are you talking about?" asked Nabiki turning to look at her sister, "Ranma is your fiancé, remember? You should walk him to school!"

Akane turned and glared at Ranma, who glared back,

((Damn! Why do we have to go to school?)) asked Ranma,

((It'll be fun!)) replied Yami cheerfully,

((I somehow doubt that.)) drawled Hikari,

((It will be! We'll meet and beat Kuno!)) said Yami.

Minutes later…

Ranma and Akane walked to school, Akane on the sidewalk Ranma on the canal fence,

"We 're not going to get married, you know!" said Akane,

"No, need to tell me." replied Ranma,

((You know? I think we're still engaged to the Sailor Senshi.)) commented Yami,

((I hope so, I'd rather be engaged to the Senshi than Akane.)) replied Ranma,

((I know what you mean.)) said Hikari,

((If we're engaged to the Sailor Senshi,)) said Yami, ((It means we hold no obligation to Genma's engagement, since we were engaged to the Senshi over a thousand years.))

((You mean because we're engaged to the Sailor Senshi we don't have to marry Akane?)) asked Hikari not really believing them,

((Yeah, we were engaged to the Sailor Senshi wat before Genma's agreement.)) said Ranma,

((Hey! Ranma's learning!)) said Yami cheerfully.

Hikari ignored her brother as she asked, ((So what do we do about Saturn?))

((Well, Moon was our sister, and Saturn was our adopted sister.)) explained Yami speaking seriously.

They were brought out of their conversation by something Akane said, "And don't hang around me at school!"

"Don't worry, I can't stand you at the best of times. So we wont be hanging with each other." Ranma suddenly ducked as Genma's hand passed over his head, Ranma did a leg sweep knocking Genma into the canal.

He smirked as hopped off the fence, "Suck on that, old man!" his smirk disappeared as he was splashed with cold water, by a little old lady with a ladle.

Ranma looked down at her body and glared at the old lady, "When you die, I'm going to dance on your grave!" this, added to the affect she was engulfed in a black flame, caused the old woman to shake with fear,

((Damn old woman! Who in their right mind throws water about just because they can?)) asked Yami outraged at being splashed,

((Apparently she does.)) replied Hikari smugly,

"I'm going home." said Ranma walking back towards the Dojo,

"You'll be late!" said Akane pointing out the obvious,

"You think I want to go to school as a girl?" asked Ranma,

"But if we just pour hot water on you, you'll turn back, right?" asked Akane. Reluctantly she agreed and Akane dragged her to the doctors practice,

((So, about this Senshi thing. Who are we going to choose?)) asked Hikari,

((Hmm, I think we should choose Pluto. She's the only one who'll remember us.)) said Yami,

((I agree, she was the one who knew, who we were and what we looked like.)) said Ranma,

((But what about this multiple engagement? Polygamy may not be illegal in the time of the Moon Kingdom but it's illegal in this day and age.)) commented Yami,

((Well if we're choosing Pluto, there's no problem then is there?!)) said Hikari,

They were brought to the real world by the presence of someone sneaking up behind them. When a hand landed on their shoulder they spun around intending to break the arm attached, what they didn't expect was the hand to be attached to a skeleton held by a man,

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." said the man,

"That's okay, you didn't scare. But you really shouldn't sneak up on people, I almost broke your skeleton." relied Ranma. Any further conversation was cut short by the appearance of Akane,

"Ranma, here's the hot…"

"Hello Akane!" said the man,

"Oh! Doctor, um…good morning!" she greeted putting the kettle she brought for Ranma on Ranma's head,

"Good morning to you too. You haven't been by lately. No new injuries?" asked the man,

"No sir. I mean…I haven't been doing anything that would…" replied Akane blushing.

Ranma poured the water from the kettle, ((Hmm, interesting.)) said Ranma,

((You know, if we can get her married off. We'll not be obligated to marrying her.)) said Yami,

((Yeah, but who'll want to marry her?!)) asked Hikari,

((Well Ryoga does, but only because he thinks he's destroying our happiness.)) said Yami.

((Anybody else then?)) asked Ranma,

((Hmm, there's always Kuno or what's his name from Ryuzengawa who always forgot things)) offered Yami,

((Shinnosuke? No I don't think he'll remember they're married, let alone her name.)) said Hikari,

((What about Sentaro Daimonji, he liked Akane. Then there's always Hikari Gosunkugi, but he'd be my last choice.)) said Yami,

((Umm, who are all these people?)) asked Ranma,

((They are people you'll meet at some point in time.)) said Hikari, ((I don't think anybody should have to put up with Gosunkugi and Sentaro liked the woman he was engaged to when he found out what she looked like. And no woman no matter how much I hate her would I let Kuno near her!))

Yami sighed, ((Then I don't know. Anybody we choose isn't someone we'd let suffer Akane's wrath or let her suffer theirs.))

Coming back to the real world he looked at his watch and frowned, "Hey Akane, if you're done drooling we've got to get to school!"

"I was not drooling!!!" shouted Akane,

"Whatever, let's go!" he shouted back jumping on to the nearest wall, as he shot off towards school with Akane running beside him,

"Hey Akane, who was that guy?"

"He's Dr. Tofu, the chiropractor." she replied,

"He's a martial artist too, isn't he?" asked Ranma,

"Huh? How could you tell?" she asked in return,

((Sneaking up on us that way, we almost didn't sense him. He erased nearly all sense of his presence.)) commented Ranma,

((Yeah, that's quite a feat with our senses being three times stronger.)) added Yami,

((Maybe he knows some kind technique that hides your presence.)) offered Hikari,

((Maybe…Genma created something like that, so it's possible that Tofu did.)) said Yami,

"True, he's very good." said Akane bringing them out of their conversation, "But he doesn't look like he'd be, does he? Ever since I was little…he's taken care of my injuries."

Ranma smirked, "So…isn't he a man?"

"Yeah, so?" she asked,

"I thought you said you hate men!" he replied,

"………" said Akane. Looking up she frowned as she saw the school gates in sight, "That's right! I…Despise…Men!"

At that moment loads of boys came running out of the school gates,

"Akane Tendo's here!" said one boy,

"Akane!" said another,

"Don't come any closer!" said yet another,

"They all want to beat you!" guess what? Another one,

"Out of my way!" growled Akane leaping into the fray. Ranma shrugged and jumped onto the school wall and watched,

((She's getting into a pattern.)) commented Ranma,

((True, but they're disorganized. If they were more organized they would win with no problem.)) said Yami,

((Maybe, but they all want her for themselves.)) said Hikari,

((Hey look! There's Kuno, behind that tree. Should we challenge him or let him challenge us?)) asked Yami,

((Why don't we ignore him?)) asked Ranma,

((Because he likes to be the center of attention. And even if we did ignore him he'd do say something about it.)) said Hikari,

((Besides, I want to meet and beat him!)) said Yami cheerfully,

((But he's so stupid he wouldn't accept his defeat.)) said Hikari,

"Oh! Ranma!" said Nabiki from the classroom window, "Ranma! Get in the school now!"

Ranma looked up at her, "Sure!" hopping off the wall he walked towards school, he passed by Akane just as a rose flew towards him. His hand shot out catching it a centimetre from his eye,

"You should watch where you throw these! Someone could lose an eye!" said Ranma. Of course he was ignored,

"Truly, such a boorish lot. Evidently each of them wants to ask you out, Akane…on the dawn that he defeats you." said a young man wearing a black Hakama and a blue Gi top. Looking up he saw that Akane didn't have the rose he threw. His gaze landed on Ranma, "You! How dare you steal the gift for my tigress!"

Ranma blinked, "Me? You threw it at me! Besides I don't take presents from strange men, I prefer strange women." he said walking over to Akane, "Here, I think this is yours." Akane blushed as he gave her the rose, "You better not be thinking what I think you're thinking!"

Akane's blush deepened, "I was not!"

"Good so you wasn't thinking about lesbian sex?" he asked,

"Yes…I mean no! I mean…? I don't know what I mean now!" she growled,

"You there!" said the boy.

Ranma frowned, "What do you want now, shit for brains?"

"You are being quite familiar with Akane!" he said not even acknowledging Ranma dig at his intelligence,

"And this is your business, why?" asked Ranma,

"Who are you boor?! Ah! But is it not the custom to give ones own name first! Fine then! Mine I shall give!"

Ranma raised an eyebrow, "Sure, whatever. Blow your brains for all I care."

"My name…is upperclassman Tatewaki Kuno. Junior, group E. Captain of the Kendo club. Undefeated rising star of the high school fencing world. But my peers call me…The Blue Thunder of Furinken High!"

"Umm, Okay. Well I'm staying at the Tendo training hall." said Ranma,

((You couldn't resist, could you?!)) asked Hikari,

((Nope!)) replied Yami cheerfully,

"What?!" asked Kuno slashing at Ranma trying to split his head open, Ranma casually sidestepped, "Under the same roof as Akane?!"

Ranma smirked as he jumped back, "My introduction might not be as long winded as yours but here we go. I'm heir the Saotome school of Anything goes martial arts!" taking off his school satchel he threw it to Akane, "Here, hold this for me." he turned back to Kuno, "My name is Ranma Saotome! And I accept your challenge!"

There were gasps throughout the school,

"Hey! Somebody's taking on Kuno!"

"Talk about dangerous!"

"Do you think he's stupid?"

"He's got to be!"

Ranma's eyebrow twitched,

((Right, we have to beat him soundly!)) said Hikari,

((Yeah, let's make it slow and painful!)) said Ranma,

((Ranma, you're hanging around Hikari too much, it scares me! But I agree he goes down!)) agreed Yami,

"So, you scoundrel. Hounding Akane, eh?" asked Kuno,

"Me? Hounding Akane? More like the other way around!"

Kuno ignored him, "I upperclassman Kuno, shall bring you to justice!"

"He's only staying with us, Kuno!" said Akane trying to calm him,

"Leave him be, Akane. He's so stupid he'd probably get run over by a parked car. So you're not going to through to him."

"Silence fool!" growled Kuno as he rushed forward trying to split open Ranma's head again. Ranma rolled his eyes easily jumping over the vertical strike and landing on the side of a tree,

((Hey Yami? How about divine retribution?)) asked Hikari,

((Nah, I don't want Kuno bowing before us. It just too creepy to even think about!)) replied Yami,

((Why don't we scare him?)) asked Ranma,

((He's too stupid to be scared of anything!)) commented Yami.

Kuno spun around with a horizontal strike, but Ranma had already jumped off leaving Kuno cutting through the tree. Landing on the ground Ranma got into a fighting stance, specializing in offensive with minimal defence, "Whatever Kuno, let's get this over with!" with that he rushed forward and leapt into the air. Kuno smirked as Ranma came towards him, there was no way he could dodge and attack in the air. Ranma came down, he twisted in midair manoeuvring around Kuno's attack. Time seemed to slow as Kuno's bokuto passed by Ranma's neck and Ranma poked Kuno in the head with two fingers. Time sped up again as a dust cloud sped towards the school. In front of the dust cloud was a panda, the panda hit Kuno and grabbed Ranma out of the air as it rushed by,

'Mr. Saotome?' she pondered as the panda passed her. Just then the heavens opened as everything was drenched by the rain.

Later in the P.E. equipment shed…

Ranma ran her hands through her soaking wet hair, "Damn it! If it didn't rain I'd have put Kuno down for good!"

"I wouldn't be so sure." came Akane's voice from the shed's window,

"Oh? What do you mean?" asked Ranma.

Akane pointed to Ranma's throat, "Your throat."

Ranma raised an eyebrow as she moved her collar, "Well I'll be a panda's daughter! He got me! Hmm, a decent bruise as well! And he didn't touch me as well!"

"If he had, you'd be breathing through a hole in your neck." said Akane, "looks like a pretty even match, wouldn't you say?"

"Not really, next time I'll just have to take him a little more seriously." said Ranma pouring the water from the kettle on herself.

At the same time in room 2-E…

Kuno sat at his desk looking in a hand held mirror, "Hmmmmm…" he said moving his hair out of the way to reveal the Kanji for defenceless,

"Amazing. And you don't even remember being touched?" asked Nabiki,

"Humph! And at first I thought Ranma Saotome was good! But he can't even spell!" walking over to the blackboard he took a piece of chalk, "This is how you spell it!" he said writing 'Deffenseless' on the board.

Nabiki walked over and picked up another piece of chalk, "No, this is!" she said writing it correctly. She paused when she noticed something on Kuno's arm, "hey, what's this?" she moved his sleeve to reveal more of the same Kanji. As she continued her search she found more. She removed his shirt to reveal his chest,

"I know my greatness cannot be matched, but I like your sister too much to be with you." Nabiki ignored him as she took his shirt off to reveal the Kanji covering his back and chest.

She gasped, "Oh my god!"

In room 1-F…

Ranma stood before the class as the teacher read his file, "Well, it does seem to be true…that you were in China until recently. But that doesn't change the fact that both you and Akane Tendo…were late. Stand in the hall."

"This is all your fault!" growled Akane.

Ranma shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever, I had fun playing with Kuno. I hope he does it every day!" he finished cheerfully,

"At least every day I finish my fights before school starts!"

"Where's the fun in rushing them?" asked Ranma, "Anyway, what was all that about?"

((Why did you ask her?)) asked Hikari,

((Well it would seem strange that we know all about this, without asking.)) replied Yami,

((We could have said we asked Nabiki.)) said Ranma,

((But she would charge us for the information and if Akane asked her about it she'd find out the truth.)) explained Yami,

((I guess…)) said Ranma,

"Kuno told them… he said, 'If you wish to date with Akane…you must defeat her in combat! I will permit no other terms!' and since then I'm attacked every day in the morning."

Room 2-E…

"WHAT?! FIANCE?!" shouted Kuno as he stood up,

"Uh-huh. My dad and his dad decided. Akane's going to marry Ranma." explained Nabiki,

"Ranma Saotome--" he said in disbelief,

"Kuno, stand in the hall." said the teacher.

The hallway outside 1-F…

"You mean you fight Kuno every morning?" asked Ranma in fake curiosity,

"Yeah and for some reason I always win!" replied Akane,

"Well, I think Kuno goes easy on you."

"Don't underestimate me!" warned Akane, "You should try me for real sometime."

"Why would I bother? It'd be a waste of time, you couldn't even hit me." Ranma's head shot up as he suddenly leapt into the air dodging a bucket of water,

"Never, Ranma Saotome!" growled Kuno, I shall never accept…your engagement to Akane!"

"I guess that's something we agree on." said Ranma.

The windows to the classroom were opened as nearly all the class leaned out,

"What?! Engagement?!" asked one of the male students,

"How could you Akane! And you said you despise men!" said one of the female students,

"Wait! It's not true! Our parents decided! We never--" said Akane trying to stop the rumour.

Ranma sidestepped the bucket full of water that Kuno threw at him. He back stepped as Kuno slashed through the bucket sending water everywhere, "Stand your ground!" shouted Kuno,

"This is no place to fight!" shouted Ranma as he move through the hallway, "Follow me!"

"That I shall! Said Kuno taking off after Ranma,

"This is great!" said one of the male students following after Kuno and Ranma,

"Oooo! And the winner gets to go out with Akane!" gushed a female student,

"Let's take this outside! Follow me! Said Ranma jumping out the window,

((No! Not the……Window.)) said Yami just a second to late,

"Hey! This is the third floor!" shouted one of the students,

"No sweat. I'm…" Ranma's eyes widened as he looked down,

"Idiot!" chided Akane,

Boy. He's lucky there's a pool there!" said a male student,

"Yeah, lucky." said another,

"Lucky he says!" shouts Ranma,

There was a loud splash as they both entered the pool. Ranma as soon as he hit the water swam to the bottom of the pool,

((Damn it! Why didn't you warn me?!)) growled Ranma,

((I tried! But I was too late!!)) said Yami.

As she passed under Kuno she frowned, 'I can't leave him here' she thought to herself. Moving underneath him she swam with him on her back,

Ranma Saotome! I fight on!" said Kuno grabbing on to Ranma,

"Oh no! the jig is up!" said Akane from where she was at the window,

"I fight on!" he said groping her breast,

"Let me go!" she shouted. Grabbing him by the head she slammed him head first on the tiles surrounding the pool. She placed her hands either side of his head and pushed off flipping through the air and out of sight.

Kuno lay beside the pool, he hadn't even moved a muscle, "A woman. Yes, that was a woman. Which means…Ranma Saotome you wretch! Do you think you've escaped?!"

A tree outside school grounds…

Ranma sat on the branch of a tree, silently fuming,

((That pervert! He felt us up!)) growled Hikari,

((I want retribution!!!)) growled Ranma,

((Calm down you two, we'll get him back just not yet.)) said Yami,

((WHEN?!?!)) they shouted together,

((How about when we have full elemental control?)) offered Yami, ((Because I for one am leaving Nerima when we do.))

((But that would be cowardly!)) complained Ranma,

((What would? beating the shit out of him or the leaving?)) asked Hikari,

((The leaving part!)) he said,

((Come on Ranma, we wont be running away. We'll be walking away…I don't run.)) said Yami,

"You fool!" growled Akane as she ran up to the tree, "Just how dumb can you be? Jumping into a pool of your own free will!"

"I didn't know it was there!" growled Ranma,

"If you're going to be like that…then I don't think you'll want this hot water!" said Akane pulling a kettle from behind her,

"Whatever! I don't feel like spending the rest of the day at school, anyway!" replied Ranma.

They were interrupted by the sound of sloshing, Akane turned to see Kuno looking around, "Kuno!" she exclaimed throwing the kettle to Ranma, "Catch!"

Ranma leaned out catching the kettle, unfortunately she was at an awkward angle, "Damn! I knew I should have used my chains to catch it!"

Meanwhile Akane stood facing Kuno, "Upperclassman…I challenge you!"

"Akane, oh, Akane…never did I dream that you would challenge me! So be it! If you should win…I shall let you go out with me! Thus I shall lose with all my might!" said Kuno,

"Who's asking to go out with you?!" growled Akane.

Meanwhile Ranma was stretched out holding the kettle, "Now what am I supposed to do?"

((What do we do now?)) asked Ranma,

((We can't use our chains, we don't want everybody to know what we can do.)) said Hikari,

((Why don't we just pour the water on ourselves?)) asked Yami,

((……)) said Ranma,

((……)) said Hikari,

((You didn't think of that, did you?)) asked Yami,

((Shut up!!)) they replied in unison.

Akane stood in a Kempo stance waiting for Kuno to make the first move. He didn't let her down, he rushed forward with a vertical slash. Akane waited and caught the wooden sword in the palms of her hands. She leaned back lying on her back with a tug she took Kuno with her, placing her foot on his stomach she kicked him off sending him into the air and towards Ranma.

After much struggle Ranma got into a position that she could pour the water easily onto herself. It was then that Kuno landed head first on the kettle causing the water to seep out,

"You're that girl!" he said looking at Ranma,

"You're still a girl?!" shouted Akane,

"What do you expect!" growled Ranma,

((We tried so hard to get that water!)) said Ranma sadly,

((Let's hurt him!)) growled Hikari,

"So. Did you see where that boy in the pigtail went?" asked Kuno, "That coward! Running away from a fight! No doubt he feared my prowess! Bah! He is no man! He is no man!!"

Ranma's eyebrow twitched,

((Let me kill him!!!)) asked Hikari angrily,

((No! he's mine!!!)) said Ranma,

((You know, we can't kill him, not yet anyway.)) said Yami,

((As much as I hate to admit it, he's right.)) said Ranma,

Hikari sighed in defeat, ((Fine!))

Ranma released the kettle causing both it and Kuno to hit the ground, "That hurt, you know." said Kuno as he sat up.

Ranma hopped down from the branch of the tree, "I'm not going to hang there and take this! I can take you any time! Come on!"

((Ranma, don't do this you'll regret it!)) warned Yami,

((No! He said I wasn't a man now he'll pay!)) said Ranma,

((In case you haven't noticed, we currently aren't!!!)) replied Yami,

((………)) said Ranma.

Hikari sighed, ((Well it's too late to back out now.))

"Heh! Amusing, well should you win…" said Kuno taking a swing at Ranma, she casually jumped over the bokuto, "…I will allow you to go out with me!"

"And who's asking…" Ranma lashed out with a kick, hitting Kuno in the face, "…To go out with you?!"

Kuno stared wide-eyed as he fell, 'She…is skilled. As skilled as Akane! No! more skilled!"

Ranma landed with feminine grace, "And guess what, Kuno. Ranma Saotome's even better than me!"

((I think we've made things worse.)) commented Yami,

((Probably.)) said Hikari.

Ranma sighed as Akane walked over to her, "Let's go home, Okay?"

"School isn't over yet, you know?"

Hikari, Ranma and Yami's dream of the Moon Kingdom…

It was the next day, Yami frowned as he sat in his bedroom, his mother didn't trust him, she thinks he's going to take Serena outside the palace walls again. Outside his room were two armed guards, now that didn't bother him, what bothered him, was the two armed guards in his room. After an hour of being watched he decided, boredom was horrible, so he asked them to play go fish. At first they were reluctant to play, thinking he was up to something. Then two hours after that they got bored, thus gave in.

And now we have two guards and a prince playing go fish, a while into the game he got curious as to their names, he turned to the guard to his right, "So, what's your name? Oh, and do you have any threes?"

The soldier turned to Yami, "My name is Rio, milord, go fish."

Rio turned to his fellow soldier, "Gen, you got any Queens?" Gen grumbled as he handed over two cards, Rio smirked, "You got any Jacks milord?" he asked Yami.

Yami smirked, "Go fish, so anybody know what time it is?"

Rio blinked, "Umm, sorry left my watch at home."

Yami turned to Gen, "Well?"

Gen looked at his watch, "It's 6:45 pm, milord."

Yami frowned, "Damn, who's on the door tonight?"

"I think it's Jace and Gar, milord." answered Gen.

Yami smirked evilly, "Really? And what did I tell you about formalities?"

"But milord…" stared Rio trying to argue,

"I know you're supposed to be formal to me, but after a while being called milord gets annoying. And besides, I'm going to be referred to as milord all of to night, so knock it off."

"Yes milord…err…Yami." they both said

Yami nodded, standing up he willed his clothes to change to the Royal armour he's supposed to wear, he sighed, "I'm guessing you're to escort me? She doesn't trust me enough to arrive at the ball."

Rio nodded, "Yes Yami, after the stunt you pulled last night, you're in her bad books."

Yami sighed in defeat, "Very well, I guess I can stand to arrive early." with that they left the room and made their way to the ballroom.

Fourteen minutes later…

"I swear, I'm getting a teleported put just outside my room, fourteen minutes to get from one room to another room is ridiculous!" complained Yami as the finally arrived at the ballroom.

Yami smirked when he saw that Jace was in fact the guard at the door he turned to herald for this evening, "Hello Yaiba." he greeted, "would you please announce me?"

Yaiba upon seeing Yami shook with fear, "A-and your guards, milord?"

"No, they're here to make sure I arrive."

Yaiba nodded as Jace and the other guard opened the door, Yaiba stepped forward, "L-lords and Ladies, I p-present to you, Lord Yami, of the house of Serenity."

All present turned to see the unseen lord, none had ever seen his face, well except the guards and Senshi's Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. But other than that, nobody had ever seen his face. And if they had, they didn't know he was the lord.

There was anguished cry of, "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" as Sailor Mars saw Lord Yami for the first time, or second if you count meeting him in the streets.

Yami turned to see all the Sailor Senshi together, walking over he smiled, "Hello ladies, I hope you're enjoying yourselves?"

"Y-y-y-ou?! your Lord Yami?" said Mars in disbelief.

"Ah yes, last time we met it was fist to face, mainly my fist, to your face." said Yami grinning widely,

"Why didn't you tell me you were Lord Yami?" asked Amy blushing,

"Would you have believed me?" he asked,

"Well…no, but you could have at least told me, whether I would have believed you or not."

Yami nodded, "True, but you know me as Ran, not Lord Yami now. It was better than you trying to impress me."

Amy nodded, "I see, you want to see the real us, and wanted us to see the real you."

"Precisely!" he said cheerfully,

"So, who are you going to pick?" asked Lita,

"I don't know yet, I still haven't met Saturn." he replied, "Where is she by the way?"

All four of them pointed to a corner of the room, at the opposite of the Queens throne, there sat Saturn looking lonely. Yami frowned as his faded from sight, only to reappear next to Sailor Saturn, moving over to her he smiled, "May I have this dance?" there were gasps throughout the ballroom as this was heard.

Sailor Saturn looked up at him hopefully, "You're not afraid of me?"

Yami smiled warmly, "No, I'm not afraid of you, I ask again, may I have this dance?"

Saturn smiled tears in her eyes, not trusting her voice she nodded. Yami took her hand and lead her to the dance floor,

"You know, I think I'm the luckiest man, dancing with such a beautiful young woman as yourself." Saturn blushed but couldn't help but giggle, Yami smiled, "You know, you should smile more, you've got such a beautiful smile."

Saturn blushed deep, hiding her face in his chest, "Thank you."

Yami smirked, "I think we're making everyone jealous."

Saturn frowned, "I don't think they're jealous of you, nobody likes me."

"That's not true, I like you." he said comfortingly,

"Why aren't you afraid of me like everyone else, I'm the Senshi of Death."

Yami nodded, "And you're also the Senshi of Rebirth, but people are so blind they only see death. I'm not afraid of you because I can see, I can see past death, and see the rebirth your name brings. And besides, most people here, are as afraid of me, as they are you."

Saturn blinked, "They are?"

Yami chuckled, "Sure, you remember when your mother was defeated by ten year old boy, who used no magic against her, while she was in full Senshi from?"

Saturn nodded, "Yeah, she still sore about that."

Yami smirked proudly, "Well that little boy was me six years ago."

Saturn stared at him wide-eyed, "You were the boy that beat my mother?"

Yami nodded, "Yeah, she said something about my sister that I didn't like, so I challenged her to a dual, and won."

Saturn leaned her head against his chest, "I wish I had a brother to do that."

Yami wrapped his arms around her, "Wish granted, that is if you want it?"

Saturn looked at him tears streaming down her face, "Really?"

Yami nodded, "Of course, I'll protect you like I would Serena, you know what? You need a nickname, hmm…how about firefly?"

Saturn sighed happily, "I'd like that."

Saturn nearly screamed when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder, "May I have this dance?" she turned to see a young man with long black hair tied in a ponytail, she looked Yami who smiled in return,

"Go ahead."

She turned as her took her hand and lead her deeper on to the dance floor. Yami smiled as he saw her go off with him, walking off the dance floor, and sat at a table which Sailor Uranus and Neptune were sat at,

"That was sweet!" gushed Neptune,

"Aw, come of it Michelle." said Yami as he sat down,

"I've got to admit, she's right, who was that young man?" asked Sailor Uranus,

"Huh, his name's Sachiel, he's one of my Generals. Why do you want to know Amara?" he asked,

"Just curious. So are the rumors true?" she asked suddenly.

Yami blinked, "What rumors?"

Amara smiled like the cat that caught the canary, "You don't know?"

Yami's eyebrow twitched, "I wouldn't be asking if I did."

"The rumor is, that you're engaged to all the Senshi, not just one. It's supposed to be some kind of alliance between all the planets and your Kingdom."

"What?! But that's unfair to you and Michelle, and after tonight I wont be marrying Saturn. Damn old woman! Why can't she mind her own business?!" ranted Yami.

Michelle shrugged, "It's not so bad, if I were to marry a man. I would rather it be you, than anyone else."

Yami blinked, "You two are lesbians, aren't you?"

"Well, not really, we're bisexual. We just prefer women to men." explained Amara,

"……Umm, okay. So you're okay with this?"

Both girls nodded, standing up he made his way over to the throne, unfortunately he didn't make it as he felt a tap on his shoulder,

"May I have this dance?" asked a sultry voice,

"Of course Setsuna." he turned, taking her hand in his, at that moment the music changed to a slow and methodical tune, "Just on time I see." he said smirking,

"Well I am the Senshi of time." she said moving closer,

"No Setsuna, you're the guardian of time, you aren't aloud to tamper with time, only watch it." he corrected, he paused as a thought came to mind, "You gave her the idea didn't you?"

"What idea?" she asked innocently,

"The engagement to all the Senshi."

"Maybe."

Yami frowned, "Why?"

Setsuna laid her head on his shoulder, "I was lonely."

"I see. well, I hope I can handle seven wives."

"Seven?" she asked, "I thought there were eight Senshi?"

"There are, but I'll bethinking of Saturn as a sister."

Setsuna frowned, "But you've only just met her."

"Maybe, but I talked to her earlier, and we agreed to an arrangement." he replied.

As the music ended he broke from Setsuna and continued on his way to the throne, stopping before his mother he nodded, "Mother."

"You have heard?" she asked,

"Yes, I wish that Saturn was exempt from this decision."

"Oh? Why?" she asked,

"I think of Saturn as nothing more than a little sister." he explained, "And because of that I've accepted her as Lady of my land."

"That still doesn't explain why she should be exempt."

"Would you have me marry my own sister? I wont do that, and I don't think she would either."

Queen serenity frowned, "I see, there is no way to change your mind?"

Yami stared at her, "I think seven wives is a bit much, and eight is ridiculous."

Serenity nodded, "Very well."

The rest of the night was uneventful as most of the night was spent dancing, drinking or eating.

(A short flash forward)

Four years later…

Yami stood on the planet Genasha this was it, for the past sixteen hours he and most of the moons army had been fighting off billions of youma. Millions had already gotten past him to the main teleporter which transported straight to and only to the moon. His Generals were dead, he could no longer feel their presence. They were the first to fall along with the outer planets, next came Jupiter followed by Mars, then Mercury and Venus. He had sent most of his army to the moon, it was more important that his mother and sister were safe. Little by little they had been whittled down, now only he stood in the way of the youma, stopping them from reaching the moon. He'd arrived with one hundred thousand soldiers and now, only he remained. He looked back towards where the moon is, he was currently stood on the fifth planet from the sun, between Mars and Jupiter. He grunted as he took the head off yet another youma, for some reason they weren't attacking all at once trying to over power him instead they were taking turns. He dodged a wide sweep from the next youma that attacked, he thrust his sword into it's stomach and wrenched the sword upwards clavering it in half from the waist upwards.

Had his mind been more awake, he would have realized that they were keeping him occupied, as some of the more powerful youma snuck past him. His chest burned as he drew in another breath, he was tired he wanted to get these fights over with but didn't want to use a powerful attack that'll leave him vulnerable. Going through his attacks he paused on one, he wasn't sure if it would work, and how many it would take out. Dodging another attack, he decided to try it. Raising his arm into the air, the youma moved back wary of what he was going to do. He pointed his palm to the sky as a black ball of dark energy appeared in his hand.

He smirked evilly, "Soul Taker!" he shouted, the youma didn't know what to do as thousands of black tendrils shot out hitting most of them in the chest. Small balls of white energy move through the tendrils away from the youma that were hit, when the tendrils separated from the youma they dropped lifelessly to the ground. In his hand the dark ball grew, expanding to cover all the white energy it held, as the last tendril retuned to the dark ball it began to condense until it was small enough to fit into Yami's hand. Slowly he closed his hand around the dark ball, as he calmly said, "Soul Crusher" he crushed the ball in his hand forever cursing their souls to purgatory.

He fell to his knees, that had taken more energy than he had thought it would. He looked around at his surroundings, thousands of dead men and youma lay on ground around him. He sighed sadly, he didn't like his soul taker and soul crusher techniques. They were his least favorite, but when he had to use them, he would.

He turned his head when he felt a high build up of power, he closed his eyes as he centered on where it was coming from. His eyes widened as he realized it was coming from the Imperial Silver Crystal on the moon, realization dawned on his face. They'd lost, his sister and her Senshi were dead, his mother was using the Imperial Silver Crystal to send everyone who's died to be reborn. He stared out across the battlefield, as more youma made their way towards him, he sighed, "I guess I have to use it, I'll see you in the future bunny." Yami closed his eyes as his body began to glow, he opened his eyes to see the youma were closing in, with a sad sigh he called out his final attack,

"Apocalypse!"

The whole planet of Genasha exploded as it turned into the asteroid belt separating Jupiter and Mars.
