Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Ranma and the Outers ❯ I'm Not Here For That! ( Chapter 6 )

Ranma and the Outers. After reading “All My Outers” by PsyckoSama, I got this idea. While his was a good idea, I had to change it slightly and then wondered where it would go. Hopefully, it will turn out pretty good. This is Rated “R” for language and adult situations. This will have lime-ish content, but will not be a lemon as I will not be describing or detailing those things.

NOTE: My usual two Beta-readers have been unavailable for some time, so until I get other beta-readers, I will be doing the pre-reading myself. Of course, this means that I may miss a few things. So if you notice some errors, please let me know.

Chapter 3: I’m not here for that!

Michiru nervously held onto Ranma’s right arm as Haruka tried to look calm on his left side. Both of them held no doubts that if she desired, Setsuna could easily break them up and they might not ever remember it. “You’re not going to…” Haruka said and then coughed to get rid of the nervous waver in her voice.

“No, I’m not here for that. In fact…”

Hotaru suddenly came out of her stupor from just staring at Ranma. With a wild grin, she launched herself at him with a cry of “Ranma-papa!” Ranma barely caught her in his arms as she hugged him fiercely. “This is so cool! Chibi-Usa is going to be so jealous! Not only have I met Ranma in person… but he’s my new Ranma-papa!”

Hearing Hotaru say that caused a lump of dread to fill Haruka’s heart, and seeing her little Hotaru-chan hugging Ranma like that did not help any. She tried to step away from him, but she was stopped short when his hand grabbed her and pulled her closer. Since she had been off-balance anyway from hearing Hotaru call him papa, she stumbled when he pulled her to him only to be caught by him.

“No… I’m… I didn’t…” He sat Hotaru down but still held onto Haruka tightly. “Hotaru… I’m not here to replace your Haruka-papa. I never thought about kids or even being a papa until you walked in that door.”

“But didn’t Haruka-papa or Michiru-mama tell you about me before you got married?”

“They didn’t have time.” All eyes turned back to the Senshi of Time as she said that. “Hotaru, all three of them have been under the influence of a powerful spell that made them love each other and get married…”

“Then this isn’t real…” Michiru said softly with tears starting to form in her eyes. She wanted this to be real; it felt so real. She realized that she needed it to be real.

Ranma looked at his two wives and at the shocked and scared look on their faces. The fact that they wanted it to be real was plain to him, as he wanted the same thing. ‘Kuso, why can’t anything good happen to me? The first time I meet someone I really love… and they love me… we find out it’s not real.’ He blinked and then realized what he had thought. ‘I really love them… I… I’ve never been that way about anyone before. This has to be real. If it’s not then there should be some…’ he stopped and grinned. Looking up at Setsuna, he spoke just a few words but they carried a lot of weight. “The spells over, ain’t it.”

She smiled at him, “You are very perceptive Ranma.”

“What?” Haruka asked looking hopeful.

“The spell, it’s over.” He explained. “This morning when we all had that headache and stuff… that was it wearin’ off.”

Michiru suddenly smiled. “So everything we’ve done… I mean what’s happened since then…”

“…Has been us, and not the spell making us do it.” Haruka said then blushed at how she has said that.

“So it’s real!” He added with a bright smile, he had never thought that he could really feel this way about anyone. “I really do love you… and its all me… an not some dumb spell makin’ me!” Ranma shouted and grabbed both Haruka and Michiru in a tight embrace. “I don’t ever want to loose this,” he said softly so that only Haruka and Michiru heard him.

At first, his two wives had been taken by surprise, but they quickly returned the hug that he was giving them. They too echoed his sentiments, as they did not want to loose him, or each other.

If Setsuna had any doubts before, they were laid to rest as she watched them rejoice in front of her. She was brought out of her thoughts by Hotaru calling her name. Looking at the small girl, she asked, “What’s on your mind?”

“Are you ok with this? You’re not going to take Ranma away… are you?” Hearing Hotaru’s question, it brought the three celebrating newly-weds out of their embrace only to look at Setsuna with a little fear.

“You wouldn’t… would you?” Ranma asked. “I mean you could with the time gates and all…”

Hotaru blinked, “How… I mean what do you mean?”

“Setsuna… she’s Sailor Pluto… just like you’re Sailor Saturn and they’re Sailors Neptune and Uranus.” He said pointing to the other girls in the room.

Hotaru was at a loss for words, but Setsuna only smiled. “As I said, I’m not here for that.”

“Good,” three voices chorused as one.

The Senshi of Time gave them a wry smile. “I was busy looking over things in the future, when suddenly things started to change.”

“Crystal Tokyo?” Ranma asked which surprised at least three others in the room that he would know about that.

Setsuna gave him a soft smile, “It still exists. And the palace seems livelier.”

“Um… that’s good... I guess,” he said trying to understand.

“Yes, and before I did anything, I looked into your past and your future. There will need to be some changes made, but nothing too drastic. And the three of you will need each other shortly.” Though she did not tell them that she had already made two changes, she thought it was for the best. After all, if Ranma had more than two wives then even before the honeymoon was over there was going to be jealously problems developing. So she had made sure that only Haruka and Michiru were affected. She had to admit that before Ranma, the two lovers were very close and happy, but now with Ranma in their lives, she could already see some drastic changes taking place in their lives, and for the better.
