Ranma Half Moon chapter 67 Panic Kiss Two Part 2
Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 34, "The Sparkling Silver Crystal! The Moon Princess Appears"
Ranma-ko kisses Mamoru.
A ball of simmering bright energy envelops Ranma-ko and Mamoru. Ranma-ko's shirt disappears and large white angelic wings emerge from her back.
Ranma-ko and Mamoru float in the air, Ranma-ko holding the unconscious Mamoru in her arms. The ball of energy centers itself in between them, between their hearts.
Ranma-ko sees this scene from outside her body, as if this ball of energy had disconnected her consciousness from her body.
The ball of energy subsides and Ranma-ko's wings disappear and her Chinese peasant shirt returns. They settle back on the ground.
Ranma-ko sees from her own perspective again. Ranma-ko drags Mamoru to his couch.
Mamoru regains consciousness. He feels his lips and smiles.
"It wasn't like that!"
"Ranma, I think we both know that something special just happened."
Ranma-ko blushes. Was Mamoru talking about her changing into an angel or talking about the kiss? "It, it, it was just a spontaneous thing. You were hurt, and I was worried about you."
"You don't understand, I know your secret."
All the color drains out of Ranma-ko's face. Mamoru knows that I am really a guy? Does that mean that 'Mister Playboy' Chiba Mamoru was secretly more attracted to boys than girls? That would explain his connection to the F4.
...
Minako arrives home to Artemis.
"Minako, I have an urgent message from the main computer. The enemy will make its move tonight at the Starlight Building."
"We must alert the others."
"Minako, this might be the big one. We cannot let Dark Kingdom get the Silver Crystal."
"But, what if we get the crystal first?"
"If we do, we can find the Moon Princess. Minako, one thousand years ago, there was a kingdom on the moon called Silver Millennium that was ruled by a great queen. Her daughter was the Moon Princess and the Sailor Warriors where her guardians."
"So, I was there one thousand years ago?"
"In a previous life. It is your destiny to right the great tragedy that occurred back then."
Minako nods.
"Let's go!"
...
"My secret? Do you think I'm seeing someone else?"
Mamoru looks at Ranma-ko with a poker face. "Ranma, there is something that you have that I want, and something I have that you want." Mamoru points to his heart.
Oh my god, Mamoru is confessing to me? Am I the last person who figures out that we are in love? "Mamoru, I, I, I'm not saying it will never happen, but, I don't particularly want your heart and soul at this moment."
"Not my heart and soul."
Oh my god, he wants me to be his lover? Are guys always like this? Wait a second. Crap, I am a guy and we are always like that. "Just because I kissed you doesn't mean that ..."
Mamoru pulls a Rainbow Crystal out of his shirt pocket. "Sailor Moon, I'm Tuxedo Kamen."
...
Usagi Tsukino prepares to leave from school.
"Miss Tsukino, aren't you forgetting something?"
Miss Haruna's voice makes the hairs on the back of Usagi's neck stand up. "My notebook?"
"Usagi, you have clean-up duty today."
"Yes, Miss Haruna." Usagi is crestfallen. I am going to get chewed out by Rei now.
...
Ranma lets out a nervous giggle. "Sailor Moon? Do you think I cos-play being a crime fighter?"
"On the day you first met me at the herb store, you also met Tuxedo Kamen in the park. I didn't know then that I was Tuxedo Kamen. You borrowed my hat to transform. I told you to never try fighting a Yoma Monster again and to let the Sailor Warriors do the fighting. You said your name was Ranma Saotome. I remember you had a horrible attitude."
A montage of images comes back to Ranma-ko about the complicated relationship that she has had with Mamoru. From Tuxedo Kamen helping her in fighting and then punching her in the jaw to take the Rainbow Crystal from her. "So, when I met you the second time, while you were tutoring Akane, when you disappeared from the bathroom ..."
"The other Sailor Moon was in trouble and I teleported to where she was."
"So, you can both teleport and flash step?"
"I only teleport to where one of the Sailor Moon's is in trouble. I have no control over it. The flash step I have control over."
"At one point I was being attacked by two Yoma Monsters in the park. I thought I saw you briefly in the corner of my eye."
"I was there, but the other Sailor Moon would have been killed on the spot if I hadn't gone to her."
"So, when did you discover that you were Tuxedo Kamen?"
"After I got a hold of the Rainbow Crystal that is in your shirt pocket. Believe me, it was the shock and the shame of my life when I realized that I had a date the next day with a girl I had just punched in the face."
Ranma-ko eyes grow angry. "You, as Tuxedo Kamen, knew who I was. And, yet, you punched one of the girls who transforms into Sailor Moon in the face?"
"Yes. I did because it was the right thing to do. Besides, I had already warned you that I might be your enemy with regard to the Rainbow Crystals."
Ranma-ko nods, understanding. A light bulb goes off in Ranma-ko's head. "So that's why I kissed you. Zoisite wounded you in battle yesterday. That's why you were fainting when I walked in. The Rainbow Crystals reacted together so they would heal you."
"Maybe the fact that I am Tuxedo Kamen and you are Sailor Moon explains the attraction between Saotome Ranma and Chiba Mamoru? But, even if that is true, I'm happy it happened."
Ranma-ko thinks about this for a minute and blushes. "Mamoru, you left a message saying that you needed me to come over."
"Yes. I am fighting a duel with Zoisite tonight. I need you to give me the other Rainbow Crystal."
Ranma-ko pulls the Rainbow Crystal out of her shirt pocket.
Ranma-ko and Mamoru stare at each other, holding their crystals.
