I do not own Ranma ½, Sailormoon, Full moon wo Sagashite, (now lets add Ah my goddess to the list) or any other anime I put in here. I am just writing for fun, so please don't try to sue me.

Authors note:

I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to volunteer to proof read my work before I posted each chapter

I can't believe that some people haven't heard of 'Full moon wo Sagashite'. It was one of the most beautiful anime I had ever seen, about a girl who was dieing from throat cancer which prevented her from singing. When gods of death came to keep an eye on her to make sure she didn't die before a year later when she was supposed to die, things went wrong. To stop her from trying to hurt her voice more and dieing earlier, the two gods of death helped her with magic so that way she could turn into a sixteen year old with a healthy voice. I won't say anymore otherwise I will spoil it, but it is a great anime that I would recommend to everyone.

Chapter 3

Ranma's chance, magic is in the air

It had been six hours since Ranma, Mitsuki and Takuto had finished eating breakfast. After they had finished eating, or vacuuming in Ranma's case, the three of them sat down to talk about their life stories and how they came to be who they were today.

To say Ranma was surprised about Mitsuki's and Takuto's lives would be an understatement "Wow! And here I thought that my life was strange."

Takuto nodded "I know what you mean Ranma. But still, your life has been pretty extreme till now. Sure I died once and became a god of death, but you went so far as to kill a demi god who wanted to take over the world. You are a very unique individual. I mean there are lots of gods of deaths out in the world, but only one martial artist in the world who can stop a god."

Ranma lowered her head "Still I had killed. I am supposed to defend people, not kill people."

Mitsuki and Takuto looked worried for their new friend "Ranma you did nothing wrong. Not everyone can be stopped with words. Sometimes some people have to die so others can live. If Saffron or those people who tried to harm your baby had lived, do you think that you or your child would be alive today? I know it must be hard for you and all. But some of the greatest people in history had to kill to do great things. I know that you shouldn't be proud for taking someone's life, but you should still be proud that you are able to sacrifice so much to help others. I mean look, even an angel knows you didn't do anything wrong. Are you saying you don't trust an angel?" Takuto inwardly smirked hoping that, that might get Ranma to understand that she did the right thing.

Ranma sighed "I know. But it's still hard."

Mitsuki moved closer to Ranma and placed her hand on her shoulder to comfort the distressed girl "Ranma all though I don't know much about fighting and all that; I can tell that you are a very good person. You're just going through a rough time at the moment and you can't bring yourself to trust yourself. But don't worry; we will be here for you whenever you need us." She gave Ranma a warm smile.

Ranma raised her head and nodded. She wiped the tears away from her eyes and smiled warmly "Thank you, you guys. I don't know what I would be doing right know if you two hadn't helped me."

Takuto smiled "We are here to help Ranma. You can stay for as long as you need to. We also have a few friends that might be able to find your child." His facial expression changed to worry "However she will probably be a lot older by now and will probably not recognise you."

Ranma had a pained expression on her face "I know. But I still have to find her."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the front door. Before any of them could answer they heard the door open. Using her senses Ranma could tell that there were two people entering. She could tell that one was male who was approximately thirty two years old, while the other was female who was approximately thirty one years old.

A female voice came from the direction of the front door "Mitsuki you here?"

Mitsuki spoke up loud enough for her new guest to hear "Ooshige we're in the lounge room."

The pair came from around the corner and walked into the room. The man was approximately five foot, seven inches tall. He had brown eyes, with grey brown hair that ran down to his ears at the front, but ran down to his shoulders at the back. He wore a black leather jacket with a white shirt underneath and a pair of long black jeans. The woman was approximately five foot, two inches tall. She had brown eyes, with brown hair that was cut neat and straight that ran down to her shoulders. She wore a brown business suit with long brown pants.

The man raised his hand and waved at Mitsuki and Takuto "Yo you two, how have you been," He noticed the newest member of the household and looked at her. The woman Ooshige saw where his eyes had wondered off to and elbowed him in the ribs. He looked at her and chuckled before he looked back at the three on the lounge "So who is your guest Mitsuki?"

Ranma quickly stood up and bowed "My name is Saotome Ranma, glad to meet ya." She smiled.

Ooshige's eyes suddenly bugged out "Saotome Ranma; the Saotome Ranma?"

Ranma looked confused before looking back at Mitsuki and Takuto "I didn't realise I used to be famous?"

Ooshige spoke up "Are you kidding. In Tokyo you are almost as famous as Mitsuki here."

The man next to her took a closer look at Ranma "But I heard that Ranma was a man. Not to mention that was nine and a half years ago. If you were Ranma you should look a lot older then you look now."

Takuto smiled slyly at the man "Now, now Wakaouji after dealing with gods of death, and being saved once by the sailor scouts, you can't believe that she is the real Ranma?"

Mitsuki nodded vigorously "Mmm, mmm, Yeah Wakaouji-sensei. Ranma here has been through a lifetime of trouble. She is the real Ranma Saotome."

Wakaouji raised his right eyebrow "Something really strange must have happened to Ranma for you to compare her life to the strangeness that has happened around here."

Takuto laughed "Ranma's life is ten times more strange then the things that have happened around here."

Mitsuki sighed then looked at Ranma "I see what you meant by having your life story printed out Ranma." Ranma giggled "It's so hard for people to understand unless you tell them the entire story."

Ranma and Takuto nodded while Wakaouji and Ooshige looked confused. Ooshige took a closer look at Ranma and a large smile crawled across her face "Well Wakaouji and I have a few spare hours and we certainly wouldn't mind hearing what happened."

"But we don't Argh!" Wakaouji was just elbowed in the side of the ribs again by Ooshige. He looked down at her face only to see a stern look in her eyes "Damn looks like she has something planned. We will never reach the beach café before lunch now." He sighed "I was just saying we don't have anywhere to sit down."

Ranma looked at the empty lounge on the opposite side of the coffee table in front of them "But what about that table?" Mitsuki, Takuto, Ooshige and Wakaouji sweat dropped.

Deus was sitting in her chair reading the last report he received from Yggdrasil. There was a sudden knock on her door. Not bothering to look up she said in the most omnipotent voice she could muster "Come in Urd my daughter."

The large wooden doors on the opposite side of the room opened and in walked a tall and beautiful woman. She was approximately five foot, seven inches tall. She had green eyes, and white, long flowing, slightly curled hair. Her skin was darkly tanned and she wore a striking long gold and black dress, the inside of the dress was gold while the outside was black. On each cheek was a green triangle, indicating her goddess status. All in all, Deus thought her daughter looked very attractive.

Urd wasn't paying much attention as she walked into the room. As she neared Deus she began to speak but couldn't retract the first word she spoke "Father. Urk!" Deus looked up at her daughter smiled at her slip up "M-Mother? Why did you change your gender? I haven't seen you do that in a long time."

Deus grabbed the monitor of her Yggdrasil linked pc and flipped it to face Urd. Urd looked at what was displayed on the monitor and grimaced "I guess you know why I am here then." It was more of a statement then a question.

Deus smiled "Yes I do Urd. Yes you have permission to intercept the angel Meroko before she gets too involved. We don't want her to give young Ranma a reason to go homicidal now do we?"

Urd shook her head "No that would be real bad."

Deus clicked a button on the keyboard hovering in the air in front of her. The picture on the monitor suddenly changed to show Meroko flying around Nerima looking for something "Well you better hurry up. You don't know when she will run into the people who changed Ranma. Things are about to turn very ugly and we can't let Ranma start worrying about what really happened until the truth comes out on its own."

Urd reached into her black leather purse and pulled out a small mirror. Taking one last look at her father, err mother, she put her hand into the mirror and climbed in. It didn't take very long before she had completely vanished from Kami-sama's large office.

"Now where is the Tendo dojo?" Meroko was hovering forty meters above the ground scanning the vicinity for what looked like an old worn out dojo. Getting a little warn out from her search she decided to land on the roof top of the school she was hovering above.

After she landed, she walked over to the fence on the edge of the front of the building and looked down at the gates of the school. The school court yard was covered in people messing around during their lunch break. She was a little disappointed when she didn't see any crazy martial artist, but that was expected. "I am in Nerima so this has to be Furinkan High school. If I remember correctly, Ranma said the Tendo dojo isn't far from here." Meroko didn't notice the mirror appear out of thin air behind her.

She was scanning the city around her in search for the famous dojo when she heard a feminine voice call out from behind her "Yui Meroko should you be interfering with the affairs of Midgard so soon after what happened with that Mitsuki girl?"

Hearing her name called out, Meroko quickly spun around on her heels to see who had seen her. She wasn't expecting 'her'. Stuttering nervously she said "U-Urd-sama how are you?"

Urd crossed her arms and shook her head "Meroko is that all you can say in your defence?"

Meroko started sweating from her nervousness "B-but Urd-sama I am an angel. I am supposed to help people."

Urd walked up over to the fence next to Meroko and looked off into the distance "You mustn't get involved with Ranma."

Meroko looked at Urd with a surprised look on her face "But why? He has suffered so much. I need to figure out how to return Ranma to his male form and then help him find his child."

Urd didn't respond for a moment before answering "It is impossible for you to help Ranma out with either of those problems. You do not have access to the resources you need to do such things."

Meroko was clearly disturbed by Urd's statement "But it is just unlocking her curse and finding Happousai so he can tell her where her child is." She paused for a moment before she realised what Urd meant "Do you mean to tell me that Ranma's doesn't have the curse anymore? And his child… Oh my god. Don't tell me she doesn't exist in this world anymore." Tears started forming at the corner of her eyes.

"In a way you are right. But in another way you are wrong. Ranma's curse does exist, but it cannot be activated any longer. It is not locked, but it is impossible to activate. Also her baby isn't dead, but she no longer exists in this world… Well not right now anyway." She looked Meroko in the eyes "But that doesn't mean Ranma should give up. She can become a man again and find her child. But things need to take their natural course and as such you mustn't interfere. Not all things are as clear as what they seem."

Meroko started to calm down "What about Happousai, shouldn't he be stopped?"

Urd shook her head "I said not all things are as clear as what they seem Meroko. I do not have the clearance to give you any more information, but if you still want to look I advise you not going out on your own and looking. Dark energy is in the air and if a lone angel were to be found be the evil forces around…" She paused for a moment "As a friend I must warn you to go back to Ranma and try not to wonder away too far. She needs your help and if you rush things then she might be killed."

Urd pulled out her mirror and began to climb in. Meroko had so many questions but not answers "But, but, are you saying that Happousai didn't do this to Ranma?"

Urd continued to enter her mirror, but at the last moment she responded "No, I said that things aren't what they seem to be." With that she vanished into the mirror and the mirror disappeared.

Meroko dropped to her knees and looked at the school gates once more "She acted like she was giving advice, but it was clearly an order. What has happened to Ranma? I think I know what Urd meant though. If I speed things up and give Ranma too much information straight away, then she might get the wrong idea and go off on her own. Still what did Urd mean by there being a lot of evil in the air?" Meroko saw down by the gate a tall black haired man with a yellow bandana walk by the school gates with a small child by his side holding his hand. "Damn that must be Ryoga. He might know something, but I can't do anything about it." She watched as Ryoga walked out of sight "I better leave before I do something I will regret later." She got up and looked in the direction of Juuban. Sighing once she flew off back towards the Kira home.

Deus watched as her daughter climbed out of her mirror back into Kami-sama's office. Once Urd finished climbing out Dues spoke "Urd my daughter it seems you are taking after me quite well. You sounded almost as omnipotent as I do." Deus chuckled.

Urd looked at her 'mother' with worry "Mother please don't tease me like that. I don't want to be omnipotent like you."

Deus gave another chuckle "But Urd you didn't really have much choice in the matter this time, and you did such a good job of sounding omnipotent that you could make a great temporary fill in whenever I am too busy."

"Why does father always have to act strange when he turns himself into a girl?" Urd looked at her 'mother' and sighed "Mother, there are more important things to think about, like perhaps Ranma."

Deus puffed her cheeks up "Spoilt sport."

Urd looked like she was about to cry "This is going to take a while."

In a small room at the back the shrine the sailor scouts were meeting on the last night 'monster' attack at the 'Kawasaki mental institution'. All sailor scouts were currently present wearing their civilian guise. In the centre of the room were the usual inner senshi. There was Usagi Tsukino, also known as Sailor Moon, Ami Mizuno, also known as Sailor Mercury, Rei Hino, also known as Sailor Mars, Makoto Kino, also known as Sailor Jupiter, and finally Minako Aino, also known as Sailor Venus. As usual the girls were wearing their respected school uniforms which were the outdated sailor fuki of different shapes and colours.

The outers were either sitting or standing at the left wall of the room. The team consisted of Haruka Ten'ou, also known as Sailor Uranus, Michiru Kaiou, also known as Sailor Neptune; their adopted daughter who sat between the two, Hotaru Tomoe, also known as Sailor Saturn, and standing to their right stood Setsuna Meiou, also known as Sailor Pluto. These woman were during different phases of their lives, thus wore completely different clothing from the inners. Haruka dressed like a man in a business like attire consisting of a yellowish brown long pants and jacket, with a black shirt underneath. Michiru dressed in a more elegant long pink dress that reached down to her knees. Hotaru being the ever cute ten year old wore a long sleeved grey shirt, with a long pink skirt, she had long knee high white socks and red shoes. All in all she was a very cute little girl. The last of the outers, Setsuna, was wearing her usual short purple pants, with purple jacket and red bow.

Finally standing next to Setsuna was the last sailor scout Chibi-usa. Her sailor transformation was Sailor Future Moon. She wore a short blue skirt and a long sleeved blue shirt with a large red bow on the front. Although a lot of the scouts had unusual hair colours, hers was by far the strangest being pink, along with matching pink eyes. She was looking up at Setsuna's face with a worried but happy look on her face.

Ami wasn't happy. The night before a powerful monster tore through the mental hospital Ranma was staying at. When she and the other sailor scouts went to investigate the scene it was too late. The monster had torn through majority of the hospital. Afterwards Ami had tried to contact the doctors to try and find out if Ranma was alright, but Doctor Gabriel seemed to have said something to the staff and they won't answer her questions. She had tried to contact several numerous staff members but no one would tell her what happened to Ranma. When she called Tanaka and Carl they told her that they didn't know either and that Gabriel had, had them fired for reason they are yet to find out.

Usagi looked over at her friend "Ami what's wrong? Ever since last night you have been acting strange, and we are beginning to worry about you." The other girls in the room nodded in agreement.

Ami sighed "I am worried about my friend that was staying at the Kawasaki mental institution. I have been trying to contact her all night and all morning, but I can't get through."

Minako cocked her head sideways in confusion "You have a friend that lives in that place?"

Rei chuckled "Yeah I didn't realize that you made those sorts of friends."

Ami shook her head "No it's not like that. Well sort of. I had found her several months ago in an alley near Kawasaki Hospital in a very bad condition. Once the doctors patched her up they sent her over to the mental hospital to make sure she would be ok. They decided that she wasn't ok. Some very bad things had happened to her in her life, and they were worried about her mental stability. After they spent six months trying to find out what happened they gave up and asked for my help."

"But why would they ask for your help?" Makoto asked.

"Because I live in Juuban and I am going to be a doctor. She had a very strange story involving martial arts, time travel, and the ability to change sex. It was very worrying to think what had made the poor girl think that she was born a guy. I was going to go back there today and continue to help her, but the doctors won't help me. It seems I am no longer aloud back there, and the doctor that was helping me got fired before he could figure out what happened."

While Usagi's right eye began to twitch at what Ami said, Setsuna noticed that Chibi-usa had become visibly worried. She put her hand on Usa's shoulder to comfort her. Clearing her throat she asked Ami "She had red hair right? Do you know what her name is?"

Ami was shocked. Setsuna rarely ever talked, and she never got involved in trying to find answers on problems that weren't directly involved with the scouts "We don't know what her name is yet."

Setsuna shook her head "What did she call herself."

Ami looked a little puzzled "Ranma Saotome… Why do you ask?"

No one noticed Usagi nearly chocking on the biscuits she stuffed in her mouth "No way."

"Well then her real name is Ranma Saotome. Perhaps you should start believing in more then just technology Ami and you will find the world to be very different then what you thought it was." Setsuna looked down at Chibi-usa who was looking much happier and smiled "Oh I forgot to mention. Usa here will not be returning to the future ever again. She however will not be staying with you Usagi; she will be staying with me for a while till I can sort everything out. But until then I can not tell you why she is now a permanent resident of this time stream."

Both outers and inners were shocked. Although this was much unexpected, Usagi had many questions she needed answered "What do you mean? Why? I am her mother, why can't she stay with me anymore?"

Chibi-usa's conscious was weighing heavily on her. She didn't want to hurt Usagi, but they couldn't be told the truth yet. Before she could answer Setsuna cut in "I can not tell you because your future self, the queen, forbade it. All I can say for now is that until I have found what I am looking for, Chibi-usa must stay under my watch."

Usagi nodded numbly "Ok. If I forbade it then it must be very important."

Chibi-usa looked up at the group and stated "It is."

Before they could ask more questions, Ami's mercury computer began to beep. Everyone in the room looked at Ami expectantly as she opened her computer to see what the problem was. After reading the information, she put on a serious face and spoke "We don't have time to talk anymore. I have picked up a power spike in the magical fields that looks to be even stronger then last night's enemy." Every gasped including Setsuna "We have to find out what the disturbance is and stop it."

Everyone in the room nodded and said "Hai" in unison. They all pulled out their transformation rods.

It was eight o'clock at night and Ranma was taking a stroll around the city. It had been thirty minutes since she had finished telling Wakaouji and Ooshige her story and they were quite surprised. Ooshige told her that she had a job for her, but wouldn't say what it was. After they left without answers Ranma had decided that she wanted to take a look at the district she was now living in and told the others that she was going out for a walk. At first they insisted on coming, but Ranma got them to change their minds when she told them that she would be roof hoping.

She was currently passing through a large park when she heard sounds of combat coming from the large clearing in front of her. Her natural instincts were about to take over to help defend whoever was in trouble when she remembered that Juuban is the sailor scouts territory "They defend the neighbourhood around here so they might be fighting one of those monsters I had heard about. Better not interfere. But I can't just walk away, someone might be in trouble." She saw a large set of bushes not far in front of her and decided to hide in them. What she saw was the sailor scouts fighting a large monster that looked like some sort of vampire.

The scouts arrived at their destination at seven thirty at night. It was in the middle of a clearing in Juuban's largest park 'Angel gates'. After stopping they didn't need to search around for what they were looking for. For there in front of them stood a tall man who looked to be in his mid twenties, he was very well built with very large muscles, black hair, vampire like canines, and a large yellow bandana on his head. He wore long blue jeans, with a large yellow shirt and carried an enormous backpack that looked too big, even for his large body, on his back. The scouts could clearly tell that he was waiting for them when he gave them a large evil grin.

"So you are the dreaded sailor scouts? You aren't exactly what I was expecting. I thought perhaps you would be stronger then this." He laughed maniacally "You girls are a joke. Oh well." He pulled a large mirror out of his pocket and aimed it at the scouts "Cleo come forth and show these little girls that play time is over."

Suddenly, a hand came out of the mirror. The hand seemed to be that of a woman, but then again how many people can climb out of a mirror? The woman seemingly impossibly climbed out of the mirror and landed on her feet in front of the mirror. The woman seemed to be as tall as Sailor moon but that was about the only similarity between her and this monster. The monster had blood red hair with short point horns just above her ears. She was nearly naked besides the small bronze armour covering her privates and her breast. Protruding from her back were six half invisible arms with strange swirling colours running along them. After she straightened herself out the arms disappeared from sight. The tall man's grin became wider and he disappeared into the darkness. The scouts knew what was coming next and got into a ready stance prepared for the attack to come.

The strange half naked woman reached out one of her hands and showed off a small ball. Smiling wickedly she announced "See this? This is all that's needed to take out you weaklings." With that, she threw the small ball onto the ground in front of her. The small ball blue up and smoke went everywhere.

The smoke quickly cleared to reveal a man who was wrapped in a large black cape. His face was slim and pale, he had large pointy ears, and his evil grin revealed two long and pointy teeth. The group began to pale visibly when they recognised what was standing in front of them, and the same words rushed through all their heads "It's a vampire".

The vampire in question suddenly moved in for the attack by jumping into the air towards the surprised scouts, more specifically a surprised Sailor moon. The fight was long and long painful. Any person watching from the outside would have thought they were at a stalemate. However, both the vampire and the scouts knew that the vampire was winning.

The vampire wasn't all that great; it mainly attacked with hand to hand. However the main problem was that none of them could beat its strength at hand to hand, and whenever they tried to throw a spell at it, it would simply stick its hand out and absorb their attack, followed by it returning the attack/s. After fighting non stop for thirty minutes, the scouts were beaten, bruised, and very tired.

Ranma had been watching the fight for the past five minutes and didn't like what she saw. She knew that the scouts were slowly losing, but she couldn't help them just yet. She needed to wait for a chance to attack without being recognised.

Never the less, Ranma wasn't wasting her time. For the whole five minutes she had, had her senses stretched to the best of her abilities so she could figure out what they were doing. Not even two seconds later she recognised their abilities as magic and was using them as examples to figure out how to use her own magic. She had determined that magic was another form of ki and chi, where as chi is the power of the emotions, and ki is the life energy of the person and their surroundings, magic was a mixture of these. It seemed that each girl was able to pull a large amount of elementally charged ki or chi out of the surroundings and use it in a pre defined attack. Each time a girl called out her attack, she could sense the trigger draw some of her own ki and chi out of her body and draw in a large amount of the energy from their surroundings. It seemed that the combination of wording and gestures triggered the spell to activate and it control how the spell would be formed.

She could also sense the magical energy bound to the girl's clothing and equipment. As ridiculous as they looked, she could tell that they had some very powerful magic bound to each of them. She counted magically enhanced speed, strength, agility, and also some strange disguise field. The magical disguise field interested her the most; it seemed to prevent her from recognising any of them. She could see their faces perfectly, but she couldn't put their faces to memory. The spell stoped people from recognising them at any distance.

"Well I know what I will be doing once I get back to the Kira residence. Hmm I might not have to wait for them to lose before I join in. I f I can copy their disguise field, then I can run out there and join them without any of them being able to recognise me." She began to concentrate hard on her ki "A lot of the girls attacks have chi embedded into them to add more strength, but there disguise field is pure ki." Channelling her ki around her body she began to duplicate the ki channelling through the scouts disguise field.

Within thirty seconds Ranma was able to find the exact thought process needed to trigger the disguise field. Triggering her disguise field she called out "Disguise field activate!" "A have to come up with something a little less lame later." Finishing the spell activation sequence, the spell activated. A swirl of bright white light engulfed Ranma and died back down again without any clear changes. Ranma looked down upon herself and noted nothing different, but she could sense the magic surrounding her body and knew the spell worked.

"Well I hope that it worked. Wouldn't want to run out there and be shown on the first page of some news paper." She quickly dashed out of the bush she was hiding in and jumped high into the air.

And thus Ranma begins to learn magic. I like my description of ki and chi, every one keeps coming up with different descriptions, some saying they are different, some saying they are the same. But in Ranma ½ so long as they had emotions they could throw around as many emotional charged attacks they wanted. But on the other hand what about their ki such as Soun's ability to grow and things like that? So I say that chi is fueled by someone emotions which are limitless, but hard to control, and ki is the life force of the person and there surroundings, meaning that someone can easily pump out more energy with their ki, because emotions can't become that pure. And as for magic, why have it as some unexplainable thing? I say that ki and chi can manipulate the energies of the world allowing people to do magical things, but it not being magical in nature, such as casting spells and such. Anyway, hope you like the chapter; I am hoping things will start to get more interesting from now on.

Now things are getting interesting. Any one who thought they knew who feminized Ranma might want to re think their guess. Also it is clear that Ranma's curse wasn't locked, but something else happened. I so want to get to that part of the story, but I doubt it will be any time soon T.T Oh well guess I will just have to keep slowly trickling the information till people start figuring things out

Hope you all have enjoyed the story so far.
