Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan, Sailor Moon or Ranma. Midori is a character I made up. I am a big fan of Sailor Jupiter, as you can see.
Sailor Greeny: be nice, this is my first fic. Just so you know, I haven't seen vary much Ranma, only read some of the Ranma Manga and the only Sailor Moon I saw was the dubbed version on Cartoon Network.
Also, this is the rewrite after my computers death. I lost ALL my files so this may not be as good as the one I had written but never got around to posting.
On a side-note I named the restaurant after a purse I had when I first started writing this that said 'Le Chat' or something like that and had cats on it, I don't understand french and I needed a name.
Time line: this will be an Alternate universe, In sailor moon they fight all the bad guys up to the dead moon circus. For Ranma, Ukyou, Shampoo and Kodachi have already arrived, Nodoka thinks Ranma is Akane's cousin Ranko and Genma her pet panda, every thing else happens the way I want it. If you don't like how I made things then DON'T tell me how things should be, It's MY story and It's what fan fiction is about!

Chapter Seven: A Date and Ukyou's new life
Juuban High School; Thursday morning
Ranma, Ranko, Akane and Ryouga met the rest of the scouts at the front of the school early that morning, so they could hand out the information about Nabiki to all the 'early birds' as well as the students who came in at the normal time.
The students saw the large group and started to gather around them. Ranma seeing he had their attention decided now was the time to tell them, he would tell them to tell anyone not there yet when they see them.
"I've asked you to listen to me for one reason. We have a new student coming, she's going to be a junior. Her name is Tendo Nabiki." here he heard the students gasp, it seemed Nabiki had a reputation that wasn't good. It was good for them however. "I'm telling you this because this girl is dangerous to the privacy of all of us. I must warn you to NEVER listen to her, don't let her get to you, if she has some 'dirt' on you don't fold to the pressure and act like it isn't there. Also you must NEVER buy anything from her, especially when it concerns a service from someone. For example she believes that I belong to her, so she may try to 'sell' me out for dates. If you 'buy' me from her you just waste your money, so don't try it. If you need to know what she looks like I have plenty of pictures here, they also have on the back of them what you may need to watch out for when she is around. Give them to your friends who aren't here. I want everyone in this school to be safe from her greed." When the students heard that he wanted to protect them from Tendo Nabiki's greed they all decided they liked him a lot more then they did before, especially those who already thought good things of him. Of course they knew this did not change the fact that he was taken off the market by Kino Midori, but after seeing how happy they were they decided it was none of their business.
Now that the student's had been warned Ranma let them go to class, and went to class himself so he wouldn't be late. Akane and Ryouga, along with Rei who talked her grandfather into transferring her the day before after mentioning her brother was alive, went to find out what class they would be in, it turned out Akane was with Ami, and Rei and Ryouga would be with Usagi.
Yesterday when Rei went home Ryouga went too to prove to his grandfather he was who he said he was. Grandpa Hino saw it as soon as he saw the boy, he had his fathers eyes and mothers hair, just like Rei. It was no trouble to get Rei transferred to the same school as her 'thought-to-be-dead' twin brother.
Juuban High School; Nabiki's new class
After Nabiki was introduced, class went as normal. The rest of the students already knew who she was, all but two girls. They were Sarah Grant and Laura Kent, two students who came over from America to live when their parents moved due to their jobs. The reason they didn't know was because they both came in late and none of the other students had a chance to tell them or give them the picture of Nabiki with the information on it without Nabiki seeing.
During the brake Nabiki overheard Sarah talking to Laura about how cute Ranma was and how she would have him as her boyfriend.
"Excuse me, but I couldn't help overhear what you said, are you talking about Saotome Ranma? He goes by the name Meiou?"
"Yes, what's it to you?" Sarah demanded, she didn't know if she wanted to talk about it with this girl.
"I happen to be engaged to him, BUT!" she said ignoring the glare she go from Sarah and Laura, "I am willing to sell him to you for one day, he will have to take you were YOU want to go and pay for what YOU want him to buy you."
"How much?" they both asked. Nabiki smiled and told them the price, they went for their wallets and handed her the money she asked for.
"Good for you," she said, counting the money, then getting a small slip of paper and writing on it. "You will need this to claim him. You Sarah get him tomorrow, after school. Laura you are lucky, you get him all saturday." The girls took the 'claim ticket,' one said "Friday; paying for everything; after school' the other said 'saturday; ALL DAY' The students around them that heard all frowned, Laura and Sarah just wasted their money, there was no WAY Ranma would listen to them!
Juuban High School; Lunchtime
Ami, Akane, Rei, Ryouga and Usagi went to sit with Minako, Midori and Makoto. Ranma and Ranko were a little late due to a meeting they had planed with their mother, they had actually planed to eat with her and the others forgot that it was planed for today. Midori was getting a bit worried, but she noticed Nabiki snooping around, most likely looking for Ranma. Then she saw a bit of green hair in a window and saw Setsuna and Ranma looking out from the councilors office window, Ranma waved and pointed at his mother, mimed 'talking' and 'eating' and she remember that Ranma told her he was eating with his mother and sister that day.
"Ranma and Ranko are with Setsuna," she said in a low voice, so as not to be heard by other students, not good to call a member of the staff by first name, even if they are the mother of your fiancé and will one day be your mother-in-law. By now lunch was almost over and Nabiki went back to her class, upset at not finding Ranma.
Juuban High; After school
Ranma was leaving with Midori when Sarah Grant ran up to them. He looked at her with confusion.
"Hey sweetie, I'm looking forward to our date tomorrow, I'll meet you here after class. I want to go to a nice restaurant I know of, so make sure to bring some nice clothes with you. Or we COULD stop at your house so you can change, but I'm going to bring my cloths with me and change after my last class. Anyway I'll see you tomorrow, looking forward to it!" here she winked and threw him a kiss, then left.
He side stepped the 'thrown' kiss, looked at Midori and shrugged. He had no idea what that was about. She was looking at Sarah, made that the girl would act as if Ranma was her boyfriend and they had planed a date. She knew Ranma was enable to cheat, it was a part of who he was as the Prince of Pluto. It was a little known fact that Plutonians were very faithful people and not one of them throughout the history of the silver millennium was reported to have ever cheated on anything, not even a school test. Ranma said it was due to the nature of their planet. It was a cold world, but by being truthful (if mysterious at times) they were able to survive the harsher environment. They also saw no reason to cheat on anything. Love especially was a serious matter to them, so it was never taken lightly.
Friday Morning; Juuban high school
As Sarah Grant entered the school yard she was on the reserving end of many stares. The main reason was she was violating one of the school rules that she thought was stupid. She had decided today that in order to impress Ranma she needed to look her best, so even thought she HAD to wear the hideous school uniform she decided to make a few modifications to it. She made the skirt a bit shorter and the top more tight. She also put on a bit(see LOADS) of make-up. She had on red lipstick, blush and eyeliner. She knew it was violating the rules to ware any makeup at school, yet she wished to make Ranma want her as his date. Of course we all know Ranma would be more like 'What IS that thing?' when he saw her face, as it was so covered in make-up the students barley recognized her, thus the reason for the stares. She didn't see Ranma on her way to class, which was disappointing because she knew she would be told to wash off the make-up and fix her uniform once she got to class.
"Grant-san!" her sensei Yamaguchi Miaka sputtered when she saw the blond American enter the classroom. She soon composed herself, and pointed to the girls bathroom that was on the floor they were on. "Go wash off that stuff this instant, and fix your uniform! The skirt is MUCH to short and the shirt much to tight. And hurry, or you will have to stand in the hall for being late!" Laura spotted her on the way to the bathroom and told her she looked fantastic, she also gave Sarah a piece of paper to give Ranma with the directions for where to meet Laura the next day for HER date. The girls planed to meet each other sunday at the mall to talk about their dates.
Juuban; After school
Sarah had to redo her make-up and used the girls locker room to change into the dress she had planed to wear for her date. She then went to wait for Ranma at the gate to the school. She didn't see him for several minutes, but she did see his sister walking with her friends and Midori's sister.
"Ranko-san," she called, ignoring the fact that she had used the girls first name without her permission, "Have you seen your brother? I have a date with him tonight."
"No, GRANT-san." Ranko put emphasis on the other girls last name to show the girl she didn't have the right to use her first name. "My brother is on a DATE with his iinazuke!" Ranko said, she knew that Nabiki had gotten to the girl first. She and her friend no doubt had gotten to class late.
"He dose not! I have a date with him, it says so right here! Where is he? I wanted to go to Le Chet and was hoping to get their before it was too busy, as I was unable to get the reservations." she demanded showing them the 'claim stub', just as Ranma and Midori came up behind her.
"Mako-chan, lets go. I want to get ready for my date." Midori said to her sister.
"I'll pick you up after I get ready, Don't worry I'll wait until your ready before I come." Ranma said, kissed Midori and left with Ranko before Sarah could protest.
"Where are you going?" Makoto asked Ranma.
"I think I want to take Mido-chan to see an old friend who makes very good okonomiyaki." Ranma said, he knew Sarah had every intent to fallow them. He didn't have to tell Makoto this, as she already knew. That was what he planed for the next day for lunch, but he said that in hops that Sarah would go on a wild goose chase. Tonight they were going to a french restaurant, 'La Chet', it was new and Ranma wanted to take Midori there as it was a very nice place and he had already made the reservations. They didn't think Sarah would think to go there during her search.
Le Chet; Dinner time
Ranma led Midori though the doors, opened by the man at the door. They walked up to the man at the pedestal, who had the reservation book in-front of him.
"Reservations?" he asked them, he noticed they were very young, but dressed rather nicely for high school students, he shrugged thinking they just came from well off families.
"Yes, I have a reservation for two under Meiou Ranma." Ranma said, holding Midori's arm.
"Ah yes, Meiou-san, right this way please." he said and led them to their table. Knowing that he knew who it was he was happy he didn't say anything, this young man was from a very well off family and his iinazuke, although an orphan, had plenty of money waiting for her and her sister when they came of age. It was the main reason Kino Makoto had lived in such a nice apartment.
"Here we are, Sir; Ma'am." he said as they came to the table reserved for them. Handing them the menus after helping Midori into her seat, "Your waiter will be with you in a moment, please enjoy your meal." he said then went back to the front to wait for more costumers.
Once their food arrived Ranma and Midori sprinkled their food with the Remeherb without anyone seeing, it made the food taste just as it would have if it was cooked on their own planets. They where halfway through their dinner when they heard a commotion at the front of the restaurant.
"I'm telling you, I have a date with him and I was told he was seen with another girl coming into here not that long ago! Now were is Ranma?"
"Ma'am, please calm down. The only one by that name is a young man who is here with his iinazuke." the proprietor of the restaurant said, he happened to be a friend of Ranma's mother, which is why they had been given such good service when they were just High School Students.
"There he is, that cheating jerk!" she said when she spotted Ranma at his table, she walked past the man who tried to stop her and walked right up to Ranma and Midori's table.
*SMACK* Midori held her face where the other girl had slapped her, Ranma was shocked that Sarah had done such a thing. Sarah then looked at the food on the table.
"That is MY dinner you are eating you little b***h!" she said then grabbed Midori's plate and dumped it on her head.
Ranma stood up at this, having gotten over his shock. "Just who do you think you are coming in here like you OWN me?" he demanded, by now the whole place had their eyes on them.
"Midori-chan, lets get you cleaned up." he said and helped Midori up, one of the waitress saw this as their cue and helped him take her to the bathroom. The waitress went with the younger girl and helped her clean her nice green dress. They managed to save it and when she rejoined Ranma he was talking to the proprietor who was apologizing for what happened to Midori.
"I don't normally let things like this happen," he said, he was going to let them have the meal for free, but Ranma said it wasn't his fault and that the girl was under the impression that she had purchased him from another girl who didn't actually have the right to sell him. He paid for the meal under the protest of the proprietor, but upon telling the man that he would be back the man stopped protesting and smiled in thanks, he didn't want to loose Setsuna's son as a costumer. Before Ranma left one of the waiters handed him a piece of paper that had his name on it and told him the angry American girl dropped it. Ranma looked at it then told the waiter thank you. It was a good thing he had it, he could avoid that girl Laura by not going to the places she had on the paper.
Meanwhile Sarah had been thrown out by one of the bouncers and she was told that if she ever did that again the police would be called. She went home furious with Ranma and planing on telling Nabiki that her date had been crashed by Midori. She did notice later that she dropped the paper that had Laura's directions for Ranma at the restaurant. She hoped he had seen it, or one of the waiters saw it and gave it to him as it had his name on it.
Sarah spent most of the night looking for Ranma again and by the time she got home it was well past her curfew and her mother and father where waiting for her, demanding an explanation as to why she was dressed the way she was AND why they got a call from Le Chet telling them she had ruined a paying costumers dinner.
Beika; Saturday midmorning
Ran ran to the park, looking for Conan who was playing with his little friends from school. She found him talking to Ai while the other children played some kind of detective game.
"What are you up to?" she asked them, noticing Conan was on the ground and Ai was siting next to him.
"Conan and I are playing the victims and the others are solving the mystery," Ai said.
"Well I'm sorry to say you have to say good-bye to your friends. Dad got a call and we have to go to Nerima."
"What?" the others had heard and this made Ran sweat drop, she knew they would want to come. "Sorry, you guys can't come, this is part of my dad's job. A woman called and asked if dad could find her son and the daughter of her friend, his other daughter is engaged to the son and her sister went missing the same time as the son. She said she saw them but they didn't hear her calling and she wanted dad to investigate to see if maybe her son is being used or something." 'That was really lame' Shinichi thought, he could tell already that the woman was lying. The story was too confusing.
"all right Ran-Neechan, sorry guys I got to go," he said turning to the others. They understood that it was Ran-neechan's Otousan's job so they couldn't go, Conan-kun only went because he was living with them.
"Ok, see you later Conan-kun." Ayumi said waving as he left with Ran-neechan. As soon as they were out of sight the children minus Ai got together and started planing a way to get to Nerima.
"We could ask the professor. We would have to get our parents permission to go, but if we had it he could take us." Mitsuhiko said.
"What do you think Ai-chan?" Ayumi asked.
"If you want to go so badly just ask and see what happens." Ai said, at this point she didn't know what would happen. The three true children went home to ask if they could go, as Ai went to ask if the professor could take them. After the parents all said they could if the professor was taking them they met Ai at the house.
"Agasa said it was all right as long as you got your parents permission first." Ai said as she blocked the way into the house, they all nodded that they had it and Ai let them into the house. Agasa made a few quick calls to confirm with the parents where they would be and a number to call, then they walked to the train station on their way to Nerima.
Nerima; Ucchan's Lunch time
Ukyou looked up when she saw she had costumers, she smiled as she recognized Ranma.
"Hi Ran-chan, is this her?" she asked referring to something he had told her the last time he saw her. At his node Ukyou bowed to Midori. "Ran-chan told me he had someone special waiting for him. I'm very glade to meet you."
"You must be Ukyou, he told me about you as well. I heard you make a good okonomiyaki." she said and Ukyou blushed.
"Oh that reminds me, Ucchan, I found your mother." Ukyou stiffened at hearing this. She hadn't seen her mother in years, her last memory of her mother was a woman yelling at her father to bring her baby girl back, this was after Ranma and Genma left and her father told her she had to be a boy. Her father had made the decision for her to live as a boy without her mothers permission and she never saw her mother again after that. She wondered what happened to her.
"How is she?" she asked, she wondered if her mother remembered her.
"She's a teacher at my new school, a friend of my mother who also works there. When I mentioned Genma's name she recognized it and said she knew her ex-husband never should have engaged her daughter to his son. She divorced her husband after he made you live like a boy and has been looking for you since to gain custody. Also if she is to gain custody you can live like a girl and shouldn't worry about finding someone to marry."
"Do you have a way for me to contact her?"
"Oh, yes. Mother told me during lunch to give you this when I saw you next." He gave her a folder, which he took out of midair and handed it to her. She looked through it, smiled and put it away, then she turned to Ranma and Midori.
"So, you here for a reason, yes?" she asked with a smile.
"Oh, yes, Mido-chan, order anything you want, I'll have the usual." he said. After Midori told Ukyou what she wanted the chef began cooking them. After she had served them they continued to talk as the couple ate, halfway through their food the door opened and some people came in. A young girl, an older man who looked like her father and a young boy who could have been her brother.
"Excuse me?" the girl said, walking up to Ukyou.
"Yes, what can I get for you?" the chef asked.
"Oh, we were just looking for the Tendo-dojo." Ran said, she was confused when she saw the smile on the chefs face drop at the name of the place they were looking for. The green haired boy and his girlfriend also frowned.
"Why do you want to go there? That Panda better not have sold Ran-chan again!" Ukyou said angrily. "It's bad enough that he took my Yatta,"
"Ran-chan?" The boy asked, looking at the girl for a second.
"Oh, she means Ranma." Midori said, " We call him Ran-chan, his sister Ranko is Ko-chan to stop the confusion."
"Ran, did you get the directions yet?" the man asked, the three teens looked at the girl who had been called 'Ran' and understood why they had looked confused at 'Ran-chan' as that was most likely what her friends called her.
"We want to go to the Dojo because my father was hired by the family and the wife of a family friend, he's a detective." At this point only Ukyou and Midori heard, Ranma was busy looking at the 'little boy' who reminded him of his cousin Shinichi of Mercury.
"Well if that's the cases I'll show you the way. If Saotome-san is there I'll need to have a talk with her about her deadbeat husband." Kogoro didn't seem to notice the hate in her voice when referring to the Tendo's friend, but 'Conan' did, he also noticed the boy Ranma was looking at him funny, this made him wonder if maybe the boy knew him when he was younger and recognized him, or maybe he just looked like someone the boy knew.
"Tell me, what's your name?" Ranma asked Conan.
"Oh, I never introduced you!" Ran said, embarrassed. "he is Edogawa Conan, he's staying with us for a while while his parents are away."
"You look like my cousin." Ranma said, "I mean one of them, most of my cousins are female, and Midori knows three of them. The twins Akane and Ami are related to the boy you resemble as well." he said. He was using that 'mysterious Pluto' voice and this made Midori groan. Ukyou never having seen him act like this was wondering what he was doing. Ran and Kogoro didn't understand what he was saying and Conan had to hide his surprise at the way the teenager was acting towards him.
"Oh, and what is this cousins name?" Ran asked, wondering for the umpteenth time if Conan was really her childhood friend Shinichi Kudo.
"He was named after my deceased father, who was his uncle. My uncle named his son in honor of his brother." Midori was the only one who knew his fathers name, so she was the only one to get what he was saying, she nodded in understanding, it was common practice of the royal family to name a child after a sibling if they were important to you.
"And what was your fathers name?" Ukyou asked.
"He was named Shinichi, I still remember the feeling I had upon his death, even at three I could feel it." Conan and Ran both froze at hearing that. Ranma looked at Conan as he said the name, as if he knew who he really was.
"You REMEMBER that?" Midori asked, then remembered he was a Pluto Royal, they remembered EVERYTHING from childhood. The look he gave her told her that much.
"How did your father die?" Kogoro asked, from the way the kid was talking it wasn't a natural death, maybe an unsolved murder.
"He was killed in a war." there went that idea down the drain, Kogoro thought.
"And what war was that?" Conan asked, thinking back to the last twenty years, were there had been little war and none that involved Japan.
"That is none of your concern." he glanced at his watch. "Mido-chan, we better get going. Ranko and the others will be waiting." he smiled at Ukyou, paid for the food and the couple said their good-byes.
Once they were gone Ukyou turned to her guests, she had no more costumers so she would close the shop now and show them the way to the Dojo.
Tendo Dojo; after lunch
The three from out of town followed Ukyou to the Dojo. When they arrived they knocked on the door and waited for an answer. The only reason they were called to the Dojo and not the Saotome home was that Nabiki would live at home during the weekend and days she didn't have school, and once Akane was back she would do the same. Nodoka agreed that they needed to be with their father and the only reason they would live with her was to get Ranma back to them for the wedding. Once he was married to Nabiki they would go back to Nerima and live in the Tendo Dojo.
The door was answered by a brown haired young girl who looked to be about nineteen. She was wearing a house dress and smiled at them as she answered the door.
"Hello, are you the detective father called?" she asked seeing Kogoro.
"Ah, yes. I'm Mourie Kogoro. This is my daughter Ran and Edogawa Conan who is staying with us for a while."
"Nice to meet you, please come in, father and Auntie Saotome are waiting." she bowed and led them inside. Conan got the feeling something was wrong when he met the Saotome woman and Tendo father. Kasumi had let Ukyou in as well since she saw no reason to send her away.
"Saotome-san, I have something to discuss with you about your husband," Ukyou said upon seeing Nodoka.
"Can't it wait, I have a meeting with the detective about finding my son and Soun's daughter."
"No it can not wait! Your husband engaged me to your son in exchange for my family's Yatta! He told my father he would take me with them on the training trip, then he left me on the side of the road taking the Yatta with him!"
"What? Soun is this true?"
"It is true that she was left behind, but Genma promised me first, therefore her claim is invalid!" Soun said.
"I am not talking about my claim on Ranma, I am talking about the fact that your husband stole from my father! That was our LIFE! After I was abandoned I returned to my father only to have him denounce me as his daughter, he forced me to be a BOY!"
Kogoro, Ran and Conan felt a bit uncomfortable during all this. Ukyou seemed to notice this and apologized for letting them see, but it was high time the Saotome woman heard of her husbands deeds.
"So your saying this woman's husband engaged their son to more then one girl in exchange for food?" Kogoro asked Ukyou, who nodded, she had told the detective about the other girls who came to claim Ranma. All of them had legitimate claims as food was taken in exchange. Not that it was fair of the family to make the offer, it was usually Genma who made the offer and the parents wanting their daughter to have a good husband who excepted. Most of them would have helped if asked, but thought the amount given would be enough to keep the father and son going until they could come back for the daughter.
"Soun is this true, did my husband engage my son to more then just your daughter?"
"Their claims were all withdrawn." Soun said, "All but the Amazons who didn't have a real claim and Miss Kounji here."
"I think I shall have a talk with you later Miss Kounji, but for now I have a meeting with the detective."
"I see, I can tell when I'm not wanted. Good day to you." she said to the Tendo's and Saotome woman. To the out-of-towners she smiled. "I might see you around later, feel free to drop by for a meal." she said, then left.
"Now, to business. I have here a picture of my son, Ranma." she got a picture Nabiki took before all this happened and gave it to Kogoro. It was of Ranma with his hair still dyed black.
"Did you say Ranma?" Conan asked, trying to look at the picture but was hit on the head by Kogoro.
"Stop that you little brat." he said, Ran took him away from her father after scolding her father for hitting Conan, then she told Conan to leave this to her father.
"Yes, why have you heard from him?" Nodoka answered Conan even if Kogoro was ignoring him.
"This looks like the boy who was at the restaurant." Ran said, looking as well, Conan next to her now. He smiled as she had noticed it as well.
Nerima Park; after the meeting
Professor Agasa and the children arrived in Nerima just before lunch, they stopped to eat at a small restaurant, the true children using some if the money their parents gave them for food. They went to the Park next not knowing where to start their search for Conan, Ran and Kogoro. As they looked around the park they saw a girl with long green hair walking alone down the path. Ayumi wondered out loud how anyone could have green hair. As she walked down the path her phone rang, the ring tone was one they never heard before. There were close enough to unintentionally hear what she was saying, but not the other side.
"Hello Ranma," she said, she had seen who it was on the caller ID screen.
"Yes, I'm waiting to meet mother in the park. When will it be ready?"
"Oh? all right I'll see you later then, but DO remember to get some rest afterwards. Tell the others too, I know this will take a lot out of all of you since their are only four. Ok, I'll tell mother. Bye." she hung up, just as an older woman with green hair came down the path she had been walking down.
"Hello mother, I was just talking to Ranma. He's starting the work now and should be done later this weekend."
"Oh? well I do hope they remember to get some rest."
"That's what I told him." Ranko said laughing. Sometimes her brother would put work before anything else, especially something like reviving an entire planet. She knew he could do one large planet with Akane, Ryouga and Midori before they had to rest. They planed on doing Pluto first, then Jupiter, after that Ranko was going to make sure they rested before trying any of the others planets. The moon was last on the list due to it's proximity to Earth. The scientists were most likely not going to notice the change in the other planets right away since they were starting farther out.
Pluto
Ranma stood with Midori, Ryouga and Akane in a protective circle outside the castle pluto. Ranma had just called his sister on his cell phone, just because he knew those children would be there and 'Conan' was friends with them. Ranko knew this as well as did their mother, the reason they were in the park talking about it were the children could hear. They were bound to tell Conan of what they heard. He knew who Conan really was and the meeting that afternoon would make the genius detective think and maybe awake his true self, the self from the past.
"What was that about?" Akane asked, she didn't know how his mind worked at times.
"Oh, nothing. She just wants us to get some rest after we're done" he said, but had that smile that meant it WAS something more then that. He would never tell so there was no point with arguing about it.
"Lets get on with it then." Ryouga said, also knowing Ranma would say no more on the subject until the time was right.
"Yes, we have a planet to revive." Midori said.
"Yes, yes. Lets get going then shall we?" Ranma said, then took out his mage staff and transformed. The others followed as he knew what he was doing more then they did.
"Just do what I do." The others did as he did and followed the motions he made with the staff. ["Oh mother Salene, come help us bring life back to your sister Planet Pluto,"] Ranma began in Lunarian. ["Undo the damage that time has dealt to the people of this world, restore the life lost due to war!"] The circle they stood in started to glow along with their staffs and themselves. They seemed to be glowing the colors of their own planet, but Ranma's color won the 'battle' they had for domination, most likely because it was his planet they were reviving and he had a link with the planet. The glow grew and soon it spread over the whole planet. Everything it touched glowed the same color and after the entire planet was covered for about five minutes it started to fade. As the glow died down the people it had touched lost their 'frozen' look and the buildings looked as they did before the fall of the moon. The people closest to them noticed what they were doing and were shocked. They saw their prince with his fiancé, cousin and her fiancé doing something to the planet, when the last they remembered the moon was being attacked. Once the glow had stopped completely Ranma and the rest opened their eyes. He smiled as a few of the people who were close by approached. He was happy to see his people full of life again after seeing them frozen for so long. Some attendants from the castle came out to see if they needed anything. After a few minutes they left to go to Jupiter.
Jupiter
They found the spot to use for the ceremony just outside the castle on Jupiter. Contrary to scientific belief there was a surface on the planet. The 'Gas' the scientist believed made the planet up was an illusion that all the giant planets used to keep invaders away.
Once they had performed the ceremony and the people were revived with Midori's powers being the strongest as it was her planet. All of them felt more drained after the revival of the largest planet in sol. Keeping his word to his sister that they would rest Ranma turned to the others and pointed at the castle, where the servants were now moving about trying to figure out what was going on after being frozen in time.
"Lets rest in the castle, I'm sure the people of Jupiter will be happy to see one of their princesses alive and well." he said and the others decided it was a good idea.
Midori led the way as it was her home. She was immediately recognized by a servant who cared some clothes. When the girl saw them she almost dropped them as she was so shocked.
"Your highness!" she said, "Prince Ranma, Prince Ryouga, Princess Akane! What are you doing here? What is happening? the last thing I remember is the moon being attacked!"
"Shelana, It is all right. Although the moon WAS attacked all the other planets were put into a 'frozen sleep' state until the time came for them to be revived. The time is now and we have already done Pluto, This was our second stop. Now we need to rest before we continue as their are only four planetary mages to do the reviving and it takes a lot out of us."
"Oh, yes of course!" Shelana said and blushed as she should have noticed they were tired. "Right this way your highness, His majesty will want to know you are safe, should I tell him what has happened?"
"That is all right Shelana, I will visit my father once I get a chance to change." Midori said, she was happy to be able to say 'my father' as she had been without her earth mother and father for so long, now she had her parents from the silver millennium back. They followed Shelana to their rooms and soon Midori was dressed in her Princess dress to have an audience with her mother and father. Ranma went with her as he was alive the whole time and could tell them what happened after the attack on the moon. He made sure to wear his Prince clothes. They would also talked about the upcoming wedding and how they wanted it to be a double wedding on Jupiter. The King and Queen were fine with that, since they liked Ryouga and Akane as much as they liked Ranma and his sister Ranko.
Narima park
After the meeting with the Tendo's and Saotomes Kogoro decided to ask around town. Ran took Conan to the park to keep him out of her fathers way. She was a bit surprised to see Conan's friends and Professor Agasa there talking to two green haired women, one of which looked her age. They approached the children, who turned when the green haired girl saw them and asked if the children knew the people behind them. Ayumi was happy to see Conan.
"CONAN-KUN!" she said when she saw him and ran up to hug him. Ai hid her smile as the little girl hugged the little-boy-who-wasn't-a-little-boy.
Ranko saw Conan as well and smiled at her mother. She knew who the boy was, Ranma had told her about what happened at lunch. Kogoro saw the two women and walked up to them, they might know something about his case.
"Excuse me, have you seen this boy?" he asked them, showing them Ranma's picture.
Seeing the picture of her son Setsuna frowned at Kogoro. "That is my son, where did you get that picture?" she asked. "His hair is dyed black, but it's still him." she said showing Ranko.
"Oh, yes. That's him all right."
"You said your son?" Kogoro asked, confused since the woman who gave him the picture claimed he was HER son.
"Yes, that is my twin brother, can't you see the resemblance?" Ranko asked. Kogoro looked to the picture and back. He DID see the resemblance between this girl and the boy, as well as the older woman and both the boy and girl.
"Do you have proof that he is your son?" he asked. Now that he thinks about it he should ask the Saotome woman if she had proof as well.
"I do, at my house. I have an idea. Why don't you drop by sometime and I'll show them to you, we live in Juuban, here is the address. We are still moving in so sometime next week would be better as we would have everything unpacked by then." she handed Kogoro their new address as Ranko went to talk to Conan.
"Hi, my brother said he saw you at Ukyou's earlier. He told me you looked like our cousin, but I wasn't sure if he was being serious or not. Now I know he was. I'm Ranko, if you want to talk call this number, Kudo Shinichi." she said the last part in a whisper as she handed him a small slip of paper.
"...." Conan was speechless. On one hand this girl, and apparently her brother, knew who he really was. On another she seemed to want to help, as she had said she looked like a family member with his own first name. His instinct told him he could trust her as he looked into her blue eyes and saw that she was being sincere.
Ranko smiled and turned to the large group, looked at her watch and noted that it was time to go to the mall. Looking at Ran and the children she decided to bring them along.
"Hey, would you like to come with me to the mall?" she asked Ran and the children.
"The mall?" Ayumi said and looked at Professor Agasa and Ran. "Can we?"
"I'd like to go to the mall." Ran said, "If you want I'll go with her and keep an eye on any of the kids who want to go."
"Well as long as you go, It should be all right with their mothers, but to be safe give a call to their mothers and let them know they are with you."
"YAY!" Ayumi said and went with Ran to make the call. The two boys went with her just because Conan would be taken if Ran was going and Ayumi was dragging Ai along.
Kogoro actually didn't mind as much as it would keep Conan and the kids out of his way while he tried to figure out what was going on with the boy named Ranma.
Juuban Mall; After lunch
Ranko met up with Makoto and Minako at the mall. She had the children and Ran with her and introduced them, telling them about Kogoro being called to 'find' Ranma for the Saotome's and Tendo's. Conan and Ran at first thought Makoto was Midori and when they first saw her Ran made the mistake of calling her that.
"Hi Midori, we meet at the girl Ukyou's restaurant, remember us?"
"Wha? OH! You must have seen my twin sister when she was on her date with Ranma. I'm Kino Makoto."
Ran was red with embarrassment for mistaking Makoto for Midori after noticing the difference with the earrings.
"I'm so sorry!"
"It's all right, in fact since I only just reunited with her it's the first time anyone has made the mistake since we were little and it's kinda nice."
"Reunited?" Conan asked, was shushed by Ran, but Makoto ignored the shushing and her apologies.
"I don't mind. You see when we were about eight years old we were on a plane with our parents. The plane crashed and our parents died, but we survived. Only problem was we were separated after the crash and they didn't know we were twins at the time. Midori was sent to America and was adopted, and I was sent to a relatives. They told me Midori was killed with our parents and Midori was told the same about me. She moved here last week and we were in the same class."
"RAAAN-CHAAAN!" Ran looked at where the familiar voice was coming from and saw her two friends from Osaka waving at her.
Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori had come for a visit and had been told by Kogoro that Ran and Conan were in Juuban, at the mall with 'some girl named Ranko and the kid's the brat hangs out with'. They decided to meet them their and surprise them. Kazuha started talking to Minako, Makoto and Ranko while Heiji took 'Conan-kun' to the bathroom. The other kids were being watched by Ran.
"So Kudo, what's going on?" Heiji asked when he thought no one was listing.
Conan scowled at him at being called Kudo in public, AGAIN.
"That girl Ranko, she knows who I am. I don't know how, but she said I could 'talk about it' with her." Upon hearing someone else knew his secret Heiji was no longer smiling. This was serious! "Her twin brother may also know, from the way he was talking I'm not to sure since he made little sense."
"How is that?"
"Well for one he said I looked like his cousin. That in itself isn't so bad, but then he said the name of his cousin was Shinichi." This caused Heiji to frown.
"Is it possible he knew you and recognizes you?"
"He might know about me, but I don't have any cousins like that. Then again, mom and dad don't talk much about their families."
"Conan, are you done yet?" Ran called through the door to the men's room.
"Just a minute Ran-neechan!" Heiji called. "We should hurry Conan-kun." he said, now using the fake name incase someone could hear.
"Right, I'm done." Conan said and went to wash his hands, then waited for Heiji at the door. They went to join their new friends, who were waiting at the food court. They decided to go to the art store next, so Ranko could get some supplies for her drawing set. She was actually rather good at drawing things that she had seen. She needed some new pencils, as the last time she got new drawing pencils was before Ranma was taken from them. As they left the art store they walked into a red haired woman who was walking with a girl the scouts recognized as Nabiki Tendo, the woman was Saotome Nodoka.
"Watch were you are going!" Nodoka scowled, she was in a bad mood because Ranma wouldn't come home. Ranko wasn't talking to her uncle and Akane wouldn't listen to her father. Then she saw that one of the girls was in fact Ranko, she looked to see if Ranma or Akane was with them, but didn't see them. She DID however see that girl who said she was engaged to Ranma, even when she forbid it. She walked up to the girl and *Slap* slapped the girl for trying to make her son dishonor the Saotome name.
"OW! What was THAT for!" Makoto asked glaring at the woman who HIT her for no reason.
"THAT is for trying to take my son's honor! You will NOT be marring my son, I FORBID it! He is going to marry Nabiki Tendo!"
"What are you talking about? I'm not marring Ranma, my sister is!"
"Sister?"
"Yes, my twin sister! Midori. She's engaged to Ranma and nothing you say will change that!"
"Where is my son?"
"I don't know where Genma hid the body, but your son is dead! So just leave Ranma alone!"
"Ranko!" Nodoka said looking at the girl she thought was a Tendo "Get away from these girls! Your uncle would not like you being with them!"
"I thought we went over this already! My uncle wouldn't mind me being with them, they are my friends and two of them are his daughters. Now leave us alone, we were just trying to have a nice day out with friends." With that Ranko led her friends away from Nodoka, Nabiki was silent the whole time. But she knew she would have to get the Kino sisters somehow. Well she COULD demand they pay her for the time they spent with Ranma, then she decided she would get some dirt on Midori and get her to pay her to keep it quiet.
Meanwhile Laura Kent had been waiting for Ranma at the fountain in the mall. She had told him on the paper to meet her at the biggest fountain in the mall at 9:00am and they would spend the day at the mall. He would buy whatever she wanted and they would eat at the restaurant she wanted to eat at depending on what she wanted to eat when the time came. She had been waiting for several hours now, it was almost 2:00pm and there was no sign of Ranma anywhere. She was hungry and decided to get something to eat for lunch, even though Ranma was supposed to be there to buy her whatever she wanted. After eating she waited until the mall closed and she had no choice but to go home, dreading the look her mother would giver her when she saw her coming home late.
That's it for now, I'm not sure when I'll have Chapter Eight done. I hope you like it, it took me forever to get this done after the first copy was deleted and even longer to be happy with it so I could post it.
I fixed some things I noticed were wrong. Sorry if there is still anything wrong.
