DISCLAIMER: I do not own Ranma or Sailor Moon. I wrote this for fun and do not intend to make profits from it.

Alright, for all of those people reviewing, I feel the need to answer a few questions. First off, I am aware of the quite distinct similarities with Slacker's "All the Small Things" and I will admit a lot of the origin came from there, however the story will probably not be the same apart from that, I am trying to steer away from that type of storyline, so it will be changing in the next couple of chapters a lot. Secondly, yes he has the curse, yes he has that immunity to magic, but only because of the blood. He does not have Serenity's and Beryl's blood now, and he might regain the immunity once his soul has completely awakened. As for the formatting, sorry, I'm still no good at that, some prereaders would be a real help so if you are interested e-mail me, and the whole 400k youma was probably a bit much, but this attack basically creates a highly concentrated hurricane around him, so if the youma were close enough I figured quite a few would die, probably less (I'm not great at estimating numbers). Next, how could Serenity send him forward if he was immune to magic? He was dead. Therefore, his immunity went with his body, leaving his soul vulnerable. Lastly, the flute is what makes him play well, If he tried to play any other flute, you would have to plug your ears. The flute is magic, so anybody who can play it, plays it expertly and beautifuly, anybody else plays it, it's crap. *Takes deep breath*. Alrighty, I'm sorry for any confusion or anger I might have caused I feel the need to apoligize, More will be coming and the story will change quite a bit.
Hey, I'd like to thank those that did review, and I am now accepting anonymous reviews, thanks for reminding me. Ranma's powers will have big drawbacks, so
You are going to have to wait to find out what that is =). As for matchups... I don't really know who Ranma is going to get just yet... whether he will stay With Akane, fall for one of the senshi, I'm not completely sure. It really depends on who you guys want Ranma to match up with, so send me some e-mails or Review saying that you want and I'll take a poll and base it off that, because it doesn't matter to me who he gets matched with, however how they get matched up is a different story... anyway, on with Chapter 2.
----------------------------------------------
"Where's Juuban?" Ukyo asked.
"My mom lives there."
Ukyo's idea of moving to Juuban was shot down at that. Apparently Nodoka was not happy at her house being demolished by Ukyo and the others, and claimed
Her property "fiancée free zone". But, that meant that ruled Akane and Shampoo out, as well as the self proclaimed fiancée Kodachi. 'Well, at least the others can't get to him.'
"Do you want to go Ranma?" Akane broke the recent silence.
"Kinda, see if life is as weird everywhere else as it is in Nerima, which I doubt, but still, I don't know my mom very well, so I could get to know her. And
I think some time away from my fiancée's would do my body good. No offense."
"None taken." Ukyo and Akane responded unanimously, much to Ranma's surprise.
"Looking at it from your perspective, maybe less violence would be good." Akane said.
"I didn't mean you two. Well, not anymore, I'll miss you guys though."
Ukyo and Akane were taken aback. Maybe the kindness thing was working...
"Well, it's decided then. I'm going to leave tomorrow for moms, so if you want to say goodbye, you won't miss your chance." It was mainly directed to
Ukyo, Akane would probably see him of anyway. "It's only for the school year though ok?"
The girls nodded. A whole school year without Ranma. Nerima would be a lot different.
----------------------------------------------
Soun was weeping; Ranma and Akane had entered the dojo a little earlier, and gave him the news. He had thought Ranma was leaving Akane, but after Ranma told him it was only for the school year, Soun let him go and began weeping tears of joy. Because, if what people said was true, separation makes the heart grow fonder, than this was a perfect opportunity to get them closer.
----------------------------------------------
Ranma had gone roof-hopping so he could think. He hopped, taking in the scenery, easily navigating the roofs of the district, when a store caught his eye.
It was brand new, he hadn't seen it before. That and the grand opening sign above the store is how he knew.
'Maybe I'll take a look. Never know what helpful stuff they might have, and I got some extra money from working at the Nekohanten.'
Having decided, Ranma dropped down, and entered the small shop and began browsing, searching for nothing in particular. He slowly sifted through the junk, not seeing anything that really interested him. That is, until he saw the glass case with the silver flute. Ranma never had really any interest in music, but the flute intrigued him. He called the store owner, and questioned her of the flute.
"What's so special about this flute?"
The owner chuckled, "Well, I have dated it to be thousands of years old, and it's enchanted with magic."
"What sorts of magic?"
"Well, only a descendant of its creator himself can play it, anyone else who tries, regardless of their skill with a flute, cannot play it."
Ranma nodded. "Interesting... may I?" He asked, looking at the flute.
The woman chuckled again and opened the case. "Be my guest, but if you can't play it, don't get mad at me." She handed Ranma the flute, who took it
gingerly, as if it was made of glass, and slowly raised it to his lips. Then, Ranma's body seemed to act on auto-pilot, and he gently blew into the flute,
manipulating the sound with ease. The music that came was more beautiful than any orchestra, more captivating than any opera. The song was a short one, and still more beautiful than words could describe. The owner found herself weak in the knees from the song. Her eyes had closed, intent on concentrating on only the music, but when the music stopped her eyes slowly opened. "Young man, it would be a crime for me not to sell you this flute."
--------Juuban, evening, Hino residence--------
"So what's up with the sudden meeting? We haven't had any attacks recently." Rei demanded.
"I had a dream." Usagi replied, much too calm for her normal attitude.
"That's it? A dream? Please!" Rei yelled.
"I think it may have been a memory, from the Silver Millennium."
Everyone immediately snapped to attention. "what happened in it?" Ami asked.
Usagi recounted the dream as best she could, the boy, the music, everything. When she finished, everyone was staring at her like she had grown a second head. "WHAT?!" she asked, nervously.
"I had... the same dream." Ami replied.
"Yeah, me too."
After going around, it appeared as if every senshi had the exact same dream.
"But what does it mean?" Usagi asked, to no one in particular, but someone answered. The only senshi that wasn't present until now, to be exact.
"It means..." The crowd leapt out of their skin at the sudden arrival of the senshi of time, "That the final senshi is being awoken."
"Will you quit doing that!!?" Usagi bellowed.
"Another senshi?? But all the planets are already represented."
"Not all," Setsuna replied, shaking her head. "There is one more."
"Nemesis..." Ami replied, warily.
"Correct, the dream you had signified the beginning of his awakening."
"Wait a sec, his? I thought all senshi were supposed to be girls?"
"No, you assumed that. Well, actually, they are supposed to be girls, but he is different."
"How so?"
"When Saturn was made, they needed another one that could stop her, as a fail safe. The only planet not represented was Nemesis, and due to the high amounts of chaos magic present on the planet, they needed to make this senshi different. So after one of many battles with Queen Beryl, the took some of her blood
that was spilled on the field, and then took some of Queen Serenity's, in hope to balance the high amounts of chaos magic in Beryl's blood. The scientists
that were artificially making the new senshi were amazed at the power emitted from the near complete being."
"That was when Serenity found out. She was highly disappointed, to say the least, and fired the scientists. Before she could cancel the experiment, he was born. Apparently due to the high amounts of chaos magic, the senshi became a boy instead of a girl like they intended. So, for her own sake as well as her people's safety, she ordered him to be in permenant isolation, in a small wing of the castle. The only things that existed in this wing was a small courtyard with a fruit bearing tree, and a room with a small bed. He lived in that wing of the castle for a good 14 or 15 years."
"I can even remember him dismanteling some of the suits of armor and his bed frame to create a small flute, which was poorly crafted, but surprisingly worked nonetheless. Apart from that, his only other activities were practicing his martial arts, so if you couldn't tell from earlier, he got extremely good as both a martial artist and a musician."
"How did he learn how to fight of he was isolated?" Ami asked.
"I remember each of you sneaking off to see him, which he enjoyed greatly; he never had any real social contact, and talking to him and teaching him things. He asked you to bring him scrolls on how to fight, and you did. You also tried to teach him magic, but he never could use it. But, one day, the day of the attack, he broke out of the containment. He ran to the throne room, and sent the queen away with you. The army came, but before they got to the queen, they had to go through him. He fell, but at a cost to the attackers. In his last moments of life, he released one of his most powerful attacks, leveling the castle and killing millions of Beryl's minions. Serenity was still taken down, and after she killed Beryl, she sent all of you forward." Setsuna ended her recount of the story and left the room's occupants speechless.
"Why couldn't he learn magic, I mean, he was a scout right?" Usagi inquired.
Setsuna nodded. "Due to the Chaos magic from Beryl's blood and the Life magic from Serenity's, it created a neutral void of magic in his body. However, because of this, he has no magic power, and cannot be aided by magic in any way."
"So magic can't hurt him?" Hotaru asked from Horuka's lap.
"Yes, but you can't heal him either. He still radiates odd fluxes of energy from his body, not chaos magic, nor life magic, but some... energy. It alters things around him... sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. It takes years for it to make any serious changes however, and since he was locked in that room for quite a while, it changed his surrondings."
"How so?" Makoto asked.
"Well, the rocks in the courtyard started bearing gemstones of different makeup, all on the same rock. Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires... I believe small amounts of gold were found too. Also, the tree that beared fruit altered, as did the fruit it grew. These odd fruit, which he ate nonetheless, gave him odd powers... like controlling the weather. It is not a magical power however, it is like a part of his blood. It took many fruit to alter his blood enough to actually be able to do so, but once he did, you all had a blast with his powers. He made it rain inside, and caused winds and snow."
"When will we see him?" Minako asked with little hearts in her eyes.
"I don't know. Keep your eyes open though, soon he will come."
With that, the meeting ended reluctantly. It was late, and everyone headed home. Tomorrow wasn't a school day, and the wanted to sleep so they could have
Some fun tomorrow.
_____________________________________________
AN OK, got some of the drawbacks of his power there, and the only reason he is more powerful than the senshi is the fact that they can't hurt him with magic, meaning only a couple of them could actually do any damage. Alright, changed the origin from Slacker's 'All the Small Things', didn't need anymore harrasment from the reviewers... BTW, Slacker's ATST website is , I recommend you read it... it's cool. Anywho, now that I changed the origin... THE STORY CAN GO ON!!! Review please! Or e-mail comments to me at gundraw@msn.com Next Chapter, the first meeting between Ranma and the senshi... what will happen? Ja-ne!
