Senshi Fukkatsu
Episode #3 - A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Jusenkyou
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Usagi, Akane and Luna entered into the Tendo home from school looking a little ragged. The fight with Gornon had been necessary but draining. Usagi hadn't been Sailor Moon for ten years. She needed to get used to it again but she was sort of glad. She hated the fact that the Negaverse had returned but she had Luna back. Maybe the rest of her friends would....no...they drowned too. It was better not to let her hopes get up too much. Usagi slumped down at the table and sighed tiredly.
"I forgot how tiring it was fighting evil.", Usagi said almost trivialy. Akane sat down and blinked a bit at the casualness of Usagi's voice.
"Well I for one was most impressed with you today Usagi. You seem to have gotten braver and quite better at fighting.", Luna said hopping up on the table. Usagi smiled a little at the compliment.
"Yeah. Thanks Luna. It's mostly because of Ranma and Pop's training. I'm a martial artist now! Isn't that cool!", Usagi said with a giggle. Luna's eye twitched a little as a sweatdrop formed on her head.
"Ahhh....yes. Well one thing it does is give you better chances against the Negaverse. Well you'd better get the family together so I can let them know about the Sailor Senshi.", Luna said and glanced around the house a little curious.
"Right. I'll go do that Luna.", Akane said and got up, heading into the house calling out the names of the rest of the family. Luna turned to face Usagi and looked up at her.
"Are you ready to do this Usagi?", Luna asked a bit.
"Uh-huh! I'm ready. But how come you're actually for this instead of against it?", Usagi asked curious.
"Oh. Well considering that you are technically the cursed form of this Ranma he would know and the rest of the family would eventually found out. It's best if I explain it all to them and then it will save time and worry.", Luna said and then became quiet as she heard the approach of the rest of the family. Akane entered followed by Kasumi, Nabiki, Soun and Genma. They all had a seat at the table and looked to the pig who sat looking at them.
"Oh my what a darling little pig.", Kasumi complimented.
"Akane is this what you brought us out here to see? A pig?", Nabiki questioned. Luna cleared her throat a bit and smiled.
"Actually I asked to see you all. My name is Luna and I am Usagi's guardian. She is Sailor Moon, leader of the Bishoujo Sailor Senshi and Princess of the Moon Kingdom.", Luna said and paused for the reaction she was expected. It didn't come. What did happen however was that Soun and Genma both made a gurgling sound before passing out. Kasumi blinked a bit.
"Oh my. You can talk. A pleasure to meet you Luna. Usagi-chan you are a princess? How nice.", Kasumi said with her everpresent smile.
"Thanks Kasumi.", Usagi said beaming. Nabiki recovered from her shock and smirked already thinking of who to call for the Movie of the Week deal.
"A talking pig. How very interesting. You know Luna you and I could make a bundle. I just have one word for you. Television!", Nabiki said , the yen signs floating in front of her eyes.
"Excuse me. I think not. You don't seem to understand. Usagi and four others are all warriors meant to protect the universe from evil. Ten years ago they fought a battle at a place in China called Jusenkyou against Queen Beryl. They weren't strong enough to defeat her but they did manage to banish her back to the Negaverse. In the attack, however, all five drowned in separate pools at Jusenkyou. Now, however, they have all been reborn in others. Usagi in Ranma and the others in four others. The Negaverse has also returned and therefore Usagi and the others once we find them must fight it! They must also keep their identities a secret or else the Negaverse will find out and kill them. You must keep this a secret. It is imperative for the safety of the entire planet!", Luna said in her best lecturing voice to Nabiki who blinked a bit and swallowed, a little intimidated.
"Alright. Forget I mentioned anything. The safety of the planet is a big concern, especially if I want to do business there!", Nabiki said with a smirk.
"Of course Luna. We won't tell anyone!", Kasumi said with a smile.
"Very good. Thank you both.", Luna said.
"Ummm...Luna? What do we do about Pop and Mr. Tendo?", Usagi asked looking over at the two.
"Hmmmm. They didn't take that I could talk very well.", Luna said pondering what to do.
"I say don't tell them. Besides what those two don't know won't hurt them!", Nabiki said with a smirk. Luna blinked a bit and nodded.
"Yes that would be best I suppose. No need to get them worried about you Usagi. Now first things first. We have to find a way to find the other four who were cursed and have the other four girls reborn in them.", Luna said.
"Well I could always do a background check to see how many people have visited Jusenkyou in the last say month or so? See if any names pop up.", Nabiki said with a smirk.
"An excellent idea. Let's get on it right away.", Luna said hopping off the table and heading for the stairs.
"500 yen please.", Nabiki said.
"What?", Luna asked stopping in her tracks.
"Well a girl's got to earn her money somehow.", Nabiki said back.
"But I don't have any money?", Luna said.
"Oh....well I'll put it on your tab then.", Nabiki said with a smirk and rose heading up the stairs. Luna blinked a bit and turned back to Usagi and Akane looking questioningly.
"Well...Nabiki's a bit...mercenary. You get used to her.", Akane said with a smile. Luna just sighed and headed up the stairs to help Nabiki. What had she gotten herself into?

Prince Endymion stood facing a large full length mirror regarding his own reflection. He frowned suddenly and turned towards the shadows where a form kneeled.
"Report!", Endymion barked at the form.
"Yes my leige. We have as yet been unable to locate Sailor Moon. Whenever we have gotten close to finding her she disappears completely. We only need a small amount more time and we will find her.", the form said.
"Hmmmm. You'd better. Queen Beryl is not at all pleased that Sailor Moon has not yet been captured. What of the other Senshi?", Endymion asked.
"They are the same my leige. We get close to them once we pick up on their trail and then they merely vanish.", the form replied. Prince Endymion sighed to himself and looked back to his reflection. He gestured dismissively.
"You may go now but remember that if you do not find me one of the Senshi and bring her too me soon, I will be very....displeased.", Endymion said and then ignored the form in the shadows. The form shuddered a bit and then vanished.

A young man walked down a street not paying much attention to his surroundings as he went. He wore a yellow shirt and dark green pants laced up around the shins. Around his head sat a yellow and black spotted bandana while on his back rested a large backpack and on top of that was a red umbrella. He continued along until he noticed some people his age emerging from a school. He stopped and watched them for a few moments.
"Maybe I should find out where I am?", he said to himself.
{Good idea Ryouga!}, a female voice inside his mind said to him.
{Oh shut up!}, he complained back in his mind. Ryouga watched another young man walk out past him. He reached out and grabbed the other young man by the back of his neck and pulled him back looking sternly at him.
"Hey! Where is Furinkin High School?", Ryouga asked the young man.
"Huh?", the young man replied looking a bit shocked.
"I said where is Furinkin High School?!", Ryouga asked again raising his voice. The young man blinked a bit and then pointed to just behind him. Ryouga turned around and looked at the sign that was on the wall. He reached a hand out and touched it slowly reading it to himself, "Fu....rin...kin...High School. At last! I've finally made it!" He slowly clenched his hand and turned back to the young man he still held. "Tell me I'm not dreaming!", he said to the young man who shook his head yes. "Now tell me where I can find Ranma Saotome!", Ryouga said to the young man.
"Uhhh....Saotome?", the young man said back.

Ranma was running. The fact that he was running wasn't very special but the fact that he was running from an angry Akane was.
"Ranma! Come back here! How dare you!?", Akane shouted at Ranma as she ran after him.
"Ha ha ha!", Ranma teased Akane as he ran from her dodging other students and then leaping into the air to escape from Akane. As he got airborn however his danger sense kicked in and he turned looking ahead of him and up to see Ryouga heading down at him umbrella poised to strike.
"Ranma prepare to die!", Ryouga shouted as he descended. Ranma pulled his momentum back enough to dodge and the two landed, Ryouga on his feet his umbrella striking the asphalt beneath him while Ranma landed balanced on one hand. The two paused a moment as they landed their eyes meeting each other, then Ranma pushed himself back and away flipping in the air and landed just as a crater formed itself in the ground under Ryouga from the impact of his umbrella.
"Huh?", Ranma said eloquently as he stood watching Ryouga kneeling in the crater, smoke and dust floating in the air around him. Ryouga remained kneeling and looked up at him smirking a bit.
"Heh heh. I've found you....Ranma Saotome.", Ryouga said and then rose to his feet continuing, "So. I see you're still good at running away Saotome."
"You know this guy?", Akane asked.
"I feel as though I've been waiting for this moment for thousands of years.", Ryouga said glaring at Ranma who merely stood looking at Ryouga curiously.
"Hey! You do know him?", Akane asked getting a little annoyed.
"Are you still feigning ignorance!?", Ryouga said getting annoyed himself.
"Come on! Do you know him or what?", Akane asked getting impatient as Ranma just stood there thinking.
"Ummmmm....", Ranma said holding a hand to his head thinking.
"What?! You mean you really don't remember?!", Ryouga said lowering his umbrella looking at Ranma incredilously. Ranma just grinned and shook his head no quickly for a few moments then stopped and snapped his fingers.
"Ah!", Ranma said looking back to Akane.
"You remember?!", Akane said.
"Do you remember?", Ryouga said taking a step out of his crater.
"Ahhhh....", Ranma said not sounding so sure.
"I wouldn't want you to strain your brain Ranma.", Akane said sarcastically.
"Enough. But answer me one thing Saotome. Why didn't you come to fight me at the appointed time!?", Ryouga shouted.
"A fight?", Akane said to herself mainly.
"Oh! I remember! You and I were classmates in Junior High right. It was...ahhh...uhhh....", Ranma began.
"It's Ryouga Hibiki!", Ryouga said moving up close and glaring at Ranma.
"Yeah something like that. Yeah.", Ranma said.
"Ryouga Hibiki?", Akane said.
"Long time no see!", Ranma said and smiled holding his arms out. Ryouga merely frowned and batted one of his arms to the side.
"Just answer my question! Tell me! Why didn't you come to the fight!?", Ryouga shouted.
"But...I....Ryouga. I waited for you at the agreed place for three days.", Ranma said causing Akane to blink in surprise.
"Three days?!", Akane nearly shouted out.
"Oh sure! You waited three days, but when I got there on the forth day you already turned tail and ran!", Ryouga said
"Fourth day?!", Akane said incredilous, the rest of the crowd in various states of shock.
"Ryouga. Let me ask you a question.", Ranma said. Ryouga glanced over at Ranma as he continued, "Correct me if I'm wrong but the place where we agreed to meet for the fight was the vacant lot behind your house right? So why the heck did I have to wait for three days for you to show?!", Ranma asked a little annoyed.
"Don't patronize me! Do you think I was just strolling around Japan for my health!?!", Ryouga shouted angrily at Ranma.
"So what were you doing?!", Ranma asked.
"Listen. You have absolutely no idea the troubles I've endured!", Ryouga says.

~~~Flashback~~~

In a room with a banner is Ryouga, at a young age. The banner has Ranma's picture on it with the words, 'Death to Ranma Satome' on it and several sharp objects stuck in Ranma's face. Ryouga clenches one hand and turns around.
"Ranma Saotome today is the day I shall break you!", Ryouga shouts and rushes out of his house and down a street. We don't follow him but make a turn and see the vacant lot where a young Ranma stands alone waiting for Ryouga. We then see Ryouga running while pictures of several places all over Japan pass by behind him.
"What? No this is Hiroshima.", an old man tells Ryouga.
"No you idiot this is Isakusa can't you read a map!?", a younger man yells at Ryouga.
{Where did they move that cursed lot?!}, the younger Ryouga thinks to himself.
"What are you nuts?", another man says to Ryouga.
"You got to be kidding, this is Yokohama!", yet another man says to Ryouga. He keeps on running until he finally makes it to the lot and slowly walks into it looking around.
"I finally made it...finally made it.", Ryouga says to himself and then notices that Ranma is not there. He frowns and shouts out, "Damn you Ranma Saotome! You coward!" He then collapses from exhaustion.

~~~End Flashback~~~

The crowd of students gathered around Ranma and Ryouga began to mutter to themselves over what was happening and made comments about Ryouga's directional sense.
"You went and broke and man to man promise and then you dare to run of to China with your old man?!", Ryouga said and then swung his umbrella at Ranma who leapt back avoiding it.
"So let me get this straight you came here to finish the fight?!", Ranma asked.
"I don't want to finish it! The fight...has just begun! This is revenge!", Ryouga said angrily and with a flick of his umbrella he opened it and then sent it whirling at Ranma, who effortlessly dodged it as it arced past him turned around and came back. The crowd of students however had a little harder time dodging the killer umbrella.
"Revenge? Revenge for what?! What'd I ever do to make you want revenge on me for!?", Ranma said as Ryouga's caught his umbrella as it returned to him.
"Don't play dumb with me. I'm going to destroy your happiness. You got it?", Ryouga said glaring.
"My...happiness? Akane. Tell me something, am I happy?", Ranma said looking to Akane.
"What are you asking me for? Just what did you do to him? Tell me Ranma.", Akane said glaring a bit.
"That's what I'd like to know.", Ranma said crossing his arms.
"This isn't any old grudge Ranma he's furious!", Akane said. Ryouga growled low his anger building as he watched Ranma just stand there. Finally he could take it no longer and he charged.
"Enough stalling already! Let's fight Ranma!", Ryouga said as he charged, umbrella at the ready. Ranma suddenly blinked slamming his fist into his palm.
"Look out!", Akane shouted as Ryouga charged shouting.
"Ryouga.", Ranma said and turned and held a hand out, palm out. Ryouga skidded to a stop just before running into his hand, his umbrella just missing Ranma.
"That's...amazing.", Akane said quietly to herself.
"Excuse me for a sec huh? Wait here.", Ranma said and ducked down under Ryouga's umbrella taking off and heading out the school gates.
"Hey! Come back here!", Ryouga shouted.
"I'll be back in a sec!", Ranma replied.

Ryouga blinked as Ranma returned and tossed a small plastic wrapped package into his hand. He looked down at it and then back up.
"Curry bread? What the... Tell me Saotome. Now what are you?", Ryouga said.
"How's about it Ryouga? Forgive and forget. What do you say?", Ranma said holding an armful of similarly wrapped packages.
"You mock me!", Ryouga shouted.
"Geez you're greedy. Okay here! Chow mein bread, Croquet bread, Melon Bread, Cutlas Sandwich, Meat Bread, Seaweed Bread. Happy now? I didn't forget anything did I?", Ranma said as he tossed the rest of the bread to Ryouga who just growled holding the armful of bread.
"What do you take me for Ranma Saotome?!", Ryouga shouted.
"Yeah Ranma what do you take him for?", Akane asked.
"Hmmm? Oh well I went to an all boy's Junior High School Akane. You got no idea what it was like. Lunchtime was just like a battlefield. It was terrible.", Ranma said and went on to explain while they sat down and indulged themselves on the bread. When Ranma was finished Akane was lightly glaring at Ranma.
"Sounds like the straws that broke the camel's back.", Akane said.
"Yeah whatever.", Ranma said and looked to Ryouga.
"For your information this goes far beyond bread Saotome.", Ryouga said.
"Does it really?", Ranma asked.
"Of course it does!", Ryouga shouted grabbing his umbrella and hopping to his feet.
"So what is it now?", Ranma asked almost bored.
"Don't play dumb!", Ryouga shouted thrusting his umbrella at Ranma who rolled and flipped backwards avoiding all of Ryouga's thrusts and swings. Reaching his feet Ranma leapt up into the air followed by Ryouga.
"Tell me what this is all about!", Ranma said in mid air.
"Because of you Saotome I've seen hell!", Ryouga shouted and swung his umbrella at Ranma, only to have him flip in mid air over Ryouga. The two landed and Ranma turned back to face Ryouga.
"I wish you'd just talk to me!", Ranma said.
"As if mere words could convey my suffering!", Ryouga said and opened his umbrella sending it spinning through the air at Ranma once again, who leapt into the air avoiding it. His umbrella flew through the air and soon returned to him. He looked around but could see Ranma no where. "I missed him. Ranma! Where are you!? Where are you! Ranma!", Ryouga shouted taking off through the body of students watching and kept on running through the school, literally. Akane blinked a few times and looked to Ranma and then to where Ryouga went and back.
"Now where'd he go? Is he lost?", Ranma asked.
"I don't know I guess so.", Akane said. Ranma just sighed.
"Well whatever. Let's head home.", Ranma said and turned heading out the gates to be followed by Akane.
"Who was that boy?", Luna asked as she fell in beside Ranma and Akane, having watched the whole scene from the bushes. She was in her pig form, much as she hated it, as Ranma was extremely afraid of her cat form.
"Oh. Just an old friend of mine from junior high school. I don't know what he's so mad about though. It was only bread.", Ranma replied scoffing.
"Why do you ask Luna?", Akane asked glancing down.
"Well...I'm not sure but I sensed something strange about that boy. Keep your eye on him if he returns.", Luna said as she walked along.
"Strange? Well he is a bit dense but...", Ranma began.
"He may be working for the Negaverse! It's been a while since I had to use my powers but I definitely sensed something familiar in him! It could be the Negaverse!", Luna said.
"The Negaverse?", Ranma said.
{Luna usually isn't wrong Ranma! We'd better keep an eye on him!}, Usagi thought to Ranma.
{Okay sis.}, Ranma thought back.
"Okay Luna. We will.", Ranma then said to Luna.

The rain fell at a steady pace as lightning flashed every once in a while lighting up the dark night for brief moments. Ryouga stood shielded by his umbrella and read a sign in front of a house.
"Tendo School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. Now Ranma Saotome. Now you pay.", Ryouga said to himself and headed towards the front door. Once inside and safe from the rain he put his umbrella back on his backpack and began his search of the house. After a few detours to the kitchen, the laundry room and the bathroom he finally found Ranma's room and grinned to himself. He stepped inside and shut the door behind him, creeping over to kneel by Ranma's head.
"Hey Ranma! It's me! Let's fight!", Ryouga wispered harshly at Ranma but kept his voice low so as not to wake up the others. Ranma offered no response. Ryouga growled and clenched his hand into a fist and swung it down at Ranma's head, only to have Ranma roll over in his sleep and avoid it. Ryouga blinked and looked at his hand before pulling it free and swinging it down at Ranma's head yet again, only to have Ranma roll over and avoid it, again. Ryouga growled more to himself and took a deep breath.
"WAKE UP STUPID!!!!!", Ryouga shouted as loud as he could into Ranma's ear. Ranma immediately leapt up from his bed and clutched to the ceiling. He blinked a bit breathing heavily and noticed Ryoua and then dropped down scowling.
"Ryouga what are you doing here?! It's the middle of the night!", Ranma shouted at him.
"You shut up! Does revenge know night or day?", Ryouga asked with a growl to his voice. Ranma sighed to himself and calmed himself before he got too angry.
"This has gone far enough. What could I have possibly done to make you so mad!?", Ranma asked hoping to get somewhere.
"Listen up, these may be your last moments on this earth! After you skipped out on our duel I followed you all the way to China!", Ryouga said lightning crashing outside the window. Ranma blinked a bit in shock, realization dawning on him.
"Oh...Ryouga. You didn't go to Jusenkyou did you? You fell in a spring and now you change?", Ranma asked lightly grinning.
"Not another word! You've done enough to ruin my life!", Ryouga shouted back and then charged attacking Ranma with fists and feet. Ranma dodged as best he could he two leaping and bounding around the room as the fight was on. Genma sat up and growled to himself as he watched the two boys leap around the room fighting each other. They were not only making a racket and damaging the house but they were keeping him from sleep. He got to his feet and waited for the right moment and then stepped in and snagged the both of them by the backs of their necks and lifted them off the ground.
"There will be no fighting inside this room as long as I am here! Do I make myself clear?", Genma said to the two boys with a stern glare on his face. the two blinked a bit in shock and nodded in unison. He smiled and set the two boys down nodding to himself with a small sense of pride.
Outside the rain continued to pour steadily as Genma was thrown through the wall out into the yard and landed with a splash in the pool. Genma-panda surfaced and glared up at the two boys as they continued to fight. He pulled a sign out that said, "Children these days have _no_ respect for their elders!" and growled to himself.

Akane started awake at the sound of a yell of light pain coming from very close by. She blinked and listened as sounds of a scuffle from just across the hall drifted her way. She blinked in shock and quickly thought what might be happening? Her mind settled on the first thing in her mind. A robber! They were being robbed and he was probably hurting one of his sisters or her father. She jumped to her feet and grabbed a wooden practice sword from against the wall and rushed out into the hall to be met by Kasumi, Nabiki and Luna.
"What's going on?", Luna asked.
"I think it's a robber.", Akane said as they looked towards the source of the sounds. Ranma's room.
"Oh my! What'll we do?", Kasumi said frightened.
"Well Ranma should be trouncing him by the sounds of things.", Nabiki muttered.
"Well he'll need help!", Akane said and rushed over to Ranma's door, followed by the others. She slid it open as lightning flashed outside and stopped in her tracks blinking at the sight. The room was in shambles and Ranma and Ryouga were locked in combat exchanging a flurry of kicks and punches.
"Ryouga?", Akane said to herself blinking.
"Oh...it's only Ranma's little friend.", Kasumi said immediately relieved.
"What a pain in the....", Nabiki muttered to herself a rumble of thunder and a crash of lightning cutting her off. The two combatants landed facing each other in front of the Genma shaped hole in the wall just as a large gust of windcaused the heavy rain to spray in and splash the two combatants with a healthy dose of water. The four observers of the battle watched knowingly as Ranma's form shifted to that of Usagi's, wearing not too much, only Ranma's shorts and T-shirt. The surprise came when Ryouga's form also shifted, growing a bit taller. Where Ryouga was now stood a damp young woman, looking about 17 with long brown hair done up in the back in a ponytail somehow. The loose shirt she wore did nothing to hide her obvious...assets. She shook her head and blinked a bit as she stared at Usagi and Usagi stared back. Luna gasped upon seeing the girl.
"I don't believe it.", Luna whispered to herself.
"U....Usagi?", the young girl in Ryouga's clothes asked.
"Ma...Makoto?", Usagi questioned. Then the two girls suddenly broke out into squeals of joy and jumped forwards hugging each other tightly both talking at once about how much they missed the other and how they never thought they'd see each other again amoung other things.
{Uhh....excuse me? Usagi! What are you doing?}, Ranma thought.
"Oh! Ranma! This is Makoto! She's one of my friends I told you about!! She drowned too! But now she's back! YAY!!", Usagi said not bothering to think it.
{Makoto!! We were in the middle of a fight!! Change back!!!}, Ryouga thought to Makoto.
"Not now Ryouga! Besides Usagi is my friend and if you hurt Ranma you'll hurt her! Usagi! I'm so happy to see you.", Makoto siad also not bothering to think.
"Ahem. And what am I, chopped liver?", Luna asked trotting forwards.
"Luna?!! You're here?! You're alive!! Did you know you were a pig?!", Makoto said and then asked a bit confused. Luna sweatdropped and coughed a bit.
"Yes. Thank you for reminding me Makoto.", Luna said with a light glare.
"Ummm....Makoto, is it? Are you a...Sailor Senshi too?", Akane asked a bit hesitant. Makoto blinked at the question and looked to Luna and Usagi.
"You guys told them?", Makoto asked.
"Yup. We had to! I'm kind of adopted now ad being part of Ranma they would've found out. Oh! Mako-chan! I'm a martial artist now! Isn't that cool?!", Usagi said excited.
"Oh. Yes I am. I'm known as Sailor Jupiter. A martial artist? Good for you Usagi-chan! I am too you know? Adopted that is. I'm now Makoto Hibiki, the only one in my family with a sense of direction.", Makoto said and laughed lightly.
{Hey!}, Ryouga protested.
{Just a little joke there bro. Besides you know it's true.}, Makoto thought back.
{Hmph. You don't have to point it out you know?}, Ryouga thought to her.
"Oh? Ranma said Ryouga was bad with directions. Oh well. I'm now Usagi Saotome!", Usagi said with a grin.
"Well enough of this. Time to get down to business. Makoto. The Negaverse has returned and Sailor Jupiter is needed once again. You'll need your henshin rod.", Luna said and then tensed and leapt into the air, a trail of sparkles following her path until she reached the top. The trails then broke off and spiraled quickly to the middle of the arc where it poofed out a rod forming with a green handle a gold top and the symbol of Jupiter the orb at the top. The rod fell to the floor, as did Luna except she landed on her back with a groan.
"I have got to work on my landings.", Luna muttered to herself. Makoto and Usagi giggled a little and Makoto got her rod and smiled a bit.
"Been a long time since I held this, but I'm ready to fight anytime, anywhere!", Makoto said and grinned lightly.
"Well this has been most exciting but I'm missing sleep. Goodnight.", Nabiki said having seen enough and leaving. Makoto blinked a bit at that and just shook her head. Kasumi yawned which caused Akane to as well.
"Oh my. I'd better get some rest too. Makoto. You may stay with Usagi tonight and we'll see about getting you a proper room tomorrow.", Kasumi said and smiled warmly leaving as well.
"Oh...okay.", Makoto replied not having expected that response for an intruder.
"I'd better go to bed too. You guys going to be alright by yourselves?", Akane asked.
"Oh yeah! Don't worry about us Akane! We'll be fine, right Mako-chan?!", Usagi said cheerfully.
"You bet Usagi-chan. You go to bed Akane. We'll be fine.", Makoto insisted. Akane merely smiled at the prospect of haing yet another friend as she left. Usagi shut the bedroom door and sat down across from Makoto as Luna settled in between them.
"Boy those two can sure make a mess can't they?", Makoto said as she glanced around the room.
"Yeah! But what did you expect?! They're guys!", Usagi said and the two friends had a good laugh.
{Hmph. Guys.....}, Ranma and Ryouga both thought and grumbled to themselves still angry at having their fight cut off.
"Ahem. Girls we have important matters to discuss.", Luna began.
"She's right Makoto! We do have important matters to discuss!", Usagi said taking on a serious tone. Luna blinked a bit, surprised to say the least.
"Uhh...yes. As I was saying....", Luna started but Usagi then interrupted her.
"Really important stuff! Okay Mako-chan! Spill! How many cute guys do you know?! you must have met a lot of them with all that travelling Ranma said Ryouga does!", Usagi said, a hungry look on her face. Makoto just giggled as Luna facefaulted to the floor twitching.
"Well, not many really Usagi-chan. Ryouga usually gets lost in the woods somewhere but...your brother Ranma is pretty cute. He reminds me of my old boyfriend.", Makoto said her eyes lightly glazing over. Usagi just giggled as the two continued to discuss the three major topics in a young girls life. Guys, food and fun. Stuck in the middle of all of this Ranma, Ryouga and Luna all had the same thought at once.

{It's going to be a loooooong night!}



Author's Notes:
Well you've just finished Part Three and I am very sorry. My muse has been kidnapped and getting messages to me through carrier pigions, so my ideas on this front are highly scarce but I am working to save her. Any donations to the randsom cache will be greatly accepted! ^_^ In case you haven't noticed I have a small pattern going. I write a Ranmaesque episode and then I write a Sailor Moonesque episode.*Grins.*It'll remain that way for a while anyways, at least until we have all the Senshi back! In the next episode, Ryouga/Makoto is taken in by the Tendo's and attends school! Also Queen Beryl and Prince Endymion have developed a way to track the Sailor Senshi when they aren't in Senshi form! Will they ambush them and capture them?! Will the Sailor Senshi defeat their plans and destroy their tracking device? Stay tuned!
