It all started when she discover a hidden gate while she trying to untangle the chaos web Sailor Chaos had put around the Time Gate. It was a door that she never seen before in all her life guarding the gate. The strangest part was the gate had put up a warning, which say:

A Ranma 1/2 / SM crossover

Chapter four

**

This was one of the oddest situations Ranko had ever face, here she was trying to steal an artifact she had all along process without knowing it. Than this Queen decided that it was a good idea to teach her how to used the crystal properly so she won't need to depend on voice focus attack, in exchange she must pretend to be her daughter for a small period of time until the princess was truly `Born'.

Flash Back.

"What you mean you want me to pretend to be Princess Serenity?" reply a really confused Ranko as she look at the Queen of the solar system as if she had grow another head..

"That means you act as my daughter." Queen Serenity reply in an as a matter of fact tone.

"B-But that is insane! Why you need me to act your daughter?"

"Well, technically speaking you're my daughter." Ranko blink, the Queen sigh, as she decided to use a different approach to answer the stubborn girl. "Ranko-dear, could you take your crystal out from your subspace pocket?"

"Er . . . Sure." Once again the crystal was draw out. However this time instant of shining floating and brightly, it only show a bit of dim light, since there isn't any threat nearby.

"You see the crystal you used was Ginzuishou, the very thing you are trying to `borrow' from me. And to used the crystal, one must have the Luna Royal Blood." Explain Queen Serenity.

"But that still don't explain how I technically `are' your daughter?"

"Waited till I finish ok? You see, in order to maintain our pure blood we Serenity instate of natural birth, we divide ourselves into a smaller fragment when the time comes to have an heir. It was rather rare for us to marry a man and give birth naturally. Which technically speaking all Serenity shares a mother/daughter bond."

"But…"

"Be patient my child, as you see the green hair woman you mention I suspect was Sailor Pluto, the senshi who guard time."

"Than that means…" Ranko finally realized as she could slowly link up all the loose end and come out with the connection.

"Yes, I can send you back, when we get hold on Pluto who are missing. So at the mean time I will like you to pretend to be my daughter"

Ranko seemed to think this over for a moment and then said "Well, I guess I can do that for a while…"

End Flash Back.

However unknown to Ranko at that moment the price of waiting was simply a little inhuman for Ranko case. She frown as she recall how many tons of books and lesson was bombard to help her everyday. So that she will learn what is needed to be a princess. But that is not all the worse part was Queen Serenity…Queen Serenity. The red hair girl whispers the name with a hint of fear as she couldn't help but wonder wherethe, her mother and this woman are related. Both of them almost had the same taste on what they call manliness, and above of that, since she was a queen, that woman can go all out training Ranko in the `Way of Woman' or rather `Way of Pervert Woman' in Ranko's opinion.

So right now to preserve what sanity she left, she is basically flee from the moon with an uncontrollable semi mad laugh Ryouga on board with her ship.

"Hibiki, if ya don't stop laughing. I will send you toward planet below naked." Threaten a fuming Ranko.

As result Ryouga immediately shut up as he recall those hungry looks he received during their stay at Venus. Lets say if he went there naked, he doubt there is any thing left of him to salvage. And to say Queen Venus was complaining why male Venusians migrating rate increasing each year.

"So Ranma where are we going to?"

"Pluto of course!"

Ryouga merely raised a brow as he peer into the panel. "If you are planning to go there with this amount of fuel I suggest we might as well kill ourselves now since I doubt we can reach there alive."

"I know, therefore I will drop by at Saturn for a stock up, after all, I doubt -her- influence haven't reach Saturn."

"Err…But ain't those officer say that it is advisable to land every planet?"

"Who cares? They also say that we should be good boys and girls so that Father Universe will bring you a present at New Year eve."

"You…" But Ryouga wasn't allowed to continue as the ship shook like mad. Immediately a screen appear in front of the teens and reveal…

"Queen Serenity you must reconsider!" Yelled the old Moon Cat Hera a black Moon cat that has been serving the Queen almost as soon as she inherited the throne. Ever since than although the Queen will pull a prank or two on her subjects but all are just harmless pranks other than that she was a wise and kind Queen. So right now she can't believe how the wise Queen will do such thing to her offspring.

The silver hair woman merely raise an brow as she speak with muse, are you questioning my judgment Hera?"

"Yes! Who in their right mind will plan a bomb in their children ship even if they run away from home?" Yelled the Moon cat

"Well my mom did." She stop for a while she enjoy the facefault look on the old cat face before she decide to add another bomb to it just for the sake of it, "And so do my grandmother include many Serenity before them did!"

"Huh?" was the only reply the black Moon cat could come out with.

"It was a tradition among Serenity that we will test our child when they choose to leave the court."

"T-test? Why didn't I know that before?"

"Simple, you were not meant to know. Only the Senshi and myself know as we all will take part on that wild chase. So trust me, if she is a Serenity, all she will get is some bruises at the end of the trip." Reply the Queen, which defiantly silence the adviser.

Having nothing else to say, the moon cat decides to make her leave.

However unknown t the Moon cat, as soon as she leave the room the silver hair woman remove the cross on her finger as she mischief smirk, "Well, Hera-chan what I didn't tell you is it will be a few Hell of Bruises! Hehe! And I was beginning to wonder why every generation Serenity continued such tradition, man! it was fun."

Ranko angrily punched the screen with the fruitcake smile of her `mother'. She couldn't believe all these was a setup, as that woman knew her plan all along, "Damn that old hag, so that is why we can get this ship so easily."

"Ranko, if you have the strength to punch a screen, I think you better give me a hand." Ryouga asked.

But Ranko didn't manage to listen as she continue cursing when she realized she was bleeding due to the broken glass when she draw out her fist from the broken screen.

Draw a deep breath Ryouga decide to take another approach. "WE ARE GOING TO CRASH LAND SO GET YOU DAMN FAT ASS INTO MOVING AND FIND THE BLOODY EMERGENCY LIFE JACKET!"

"Don't worry Ryouga, remember? I got the crystal. I didn't stay with that old hag for just learning her ways of perversion ya know." With confident, Ranko draw out a crystal as she concentrate like her `mother' had told her. By than she felt something was not right, looking down her crystal, veins began to pop out from her forehead, as she scream, "Serenity! This is the last offence! I will get you back for this prank!"

"What happen Ranko?" Asked Ryouga as she comes back wearing the emergency suits while taking another with him and hand over to Ranko.

Ranko sighed in defeat as she say "T-that hag steals my crystal."

It was silent night in Juuban ever since the series killer appears. Especially the Cherry Hill Shine where Grandpa Hino mourn for the lost of his granddaughter, the old Shinto priest had been staying awake for the whole day to attend his beloved granddaughter funeral. So right now he was exhausted both emotional and physical sense. With the insistent from his sons and daughters, the old priest was basically force to sleep.

So right now the shine was deserted as everyone return to his or her home for a rest before the burring ceremony the old priest had insisted. Suddenly the old priest sense something, something had approach the priest's granddaughter. Curiously he climb up from his bed and walks toward the hall where he put her granddaughter body. What he saw was almost unbelievable, there her granddaughter was glowing while slowly level a few feet above her coffin. But that is not all a silver hair woman with crescent moon mark on her forehead appears before her granddaughter as the light grow brighter and stronger. The closest description the Shinto priest could come out to describe the woman was angelic. The silver woman smiles warmly toward the old priest as if she was reassuring him something. Before the old man could understand what she is trying to indicate the silver hair woman press her hand on Rei's forehead. As soon as the hand touches Rei, a powerful light explode from the woman hand as it force the old man to close his eyes to prevent blindness.
