Chapter 4


*********


Disclaim-me-do: Looking for serious drama? Here? You fools! This is just something that I drunkenly thought might entertain one or two out there.

Hotaru sighed as she healed her legal guardian's injuries. "Haruka-papa, why do you have to antagonise the others? Wasn't that first beating they gave you enough?"

After the others had finished meting out the appropriate punishment to Haruka, they ran off looking for Ranma. Even after searching the whole night, they found no trace of the mysterious man. Upon their return in the morning, they heard what Haruka had to say for herself. They most certainly did not like Uranus' comment of "I'm glad that you didn't find that home-wrecking pervert. You'd be better off if you forgot about him and were into girls."

Surprisingly, Michiru was the first to strike. But that might have been something to do with Haruka's lechery when she saw her lover's hand on Makoto's breast.

As Haruka was still unconscious, someone else decided to answer the young girl. "She's jealous."

"What do you mean, Setsuna?" Hotaru asked the newly arrived woman.

"Ranma shows up, defeats those youma without too much trouble and now her lover shows an interest in him. Wouldn't you be bothered by it? I know I would be."

Hotaru blushed as she nodded. "Oh look at the time, I've got to get to school."

Setsuna nodded and waved as her young charge ran off to school. She had better things to do at the moment. Namely track down Ranma and convince him to spend the next few weeks in her bedroom, stopping only for food. Even then she planned to use herself and the pigtailed dimensional traveler as plates that needed to be licked clean.


*********


As Hotaru stepped through the gates of her school, a group of bullies made their move.

"Hey look, it's the Freak!"

As the thugs surrounded the small girl, the taunts came thick and fast.

"Freak!"

"Witch!"

"Monster!"

The commotion attracted Ranma's attention. 'What the hell?'

"Is there a problem here?" Ranma asked.

"Buzz off, we're busy," the gang leader spoke up, not bothering to look at Ranma.

"Really? Well it looks like I should be going anyway, but just one thing..."

As Ranma blurred, the gang suddenly started screaming in pain.

"There's a special on Atomic Wedgies, I thought that you should share in the good fortune. If you touch her again, I'll cut your balls off with a broken bottle. Now go about your business before I get mad," Ranma gestured to the main school building.

The wimpering bullies made their best speed to the nurse's office to have their newly acquired anal floss removed.

"You all right there?"

Hotaru was unable to speak as her brain considered just how to repay Ranma for his kindness. 'Perhaps I should ask Setsuna to show me what people mean by "hot monkey love"?'

"Hello?" Ranma waved his hand infront of the near catatonic girl's face. "I asked 'are you all right'?"

Hotaru finally snapped out of her daze. "Yes, Ranma, I'm fine"

Ranma saw the blush on the girls face. "Are you sure? I mean your face is all red."

"I'm sure, Ranma. I have to get to school," Hotaru turned to hide her embarrassment from Ranma.


*********


In homeroom, Hotaru was the centre of attention. What was terribly unusual was the fact that it was the girls in the class surrounding her, demanding information.

There are no prizes for guessing the topic. Better luck next rime.

"So Hotaru, who was that hunk of manliness out there?"

"How do you know him?"

"Does he have a brother?"

Hotaru blushed and stammered under the intense scrutiny of her inquisitors. "I really only met him yesterday."

"So he's not your boyfriend, then?"

Hotaru shook her head sadly. But before the girls could cheer, the door opened and the teacher stepped in.

"Class, I have some important news for you. You're all going to die."

The students started to panic at the transformation of their teacher, Mrs Obayashi. The mousy looking teacher started to glow. Her skin turned pink as great purple feathered wings sprouted from her back. Her hands became scaly and ended in jagged talons.

As a ball of cyan tinted light formed between her hands, a red and black shape burst throught the window.

Standing up, Ranma greeted the class. "Don't mind me, ladies. I'll be out of here soon."

Unsheathing his sword, Ranma worked a crick out if his neck. 'I think that a simple strike to the heart should suffice here.'

One clinical strike through the youma's precious torso later, Ranma was surrounded by girls.

"That was so cool!"

"What's your name?"

"How did you come through the window?"

"What was that thing?"

"Are you going out with anyone?"

Ignoring the others, Ranma moved towards Hotaru. Smiling at the young Senshi, he asked if she was all right.

Hotaru nodded, not trusting her mouth to work properly.

"Well then, it seems that my work here is done. Remember folks, I will find out if anyone else is mean to Hotaru."

One of the students just had to ask Ranma something. "Was that you who did that this morning?"

Ranma nodded. "Yes, I don't like bullies. Well, I have to be off now. Hotaru, I'll see you and your friends later."


***********


At Makoto's school, the inner Senshi were discussing the new love of their lives when Setsuna appeared with a serious look on her face.

"I've just heard that Hotaru's school has been attacked by a youma," she informed the warriors of love and justice.

"What?" Usagi leapt to her feet only to fall over as a result of the head rush.

The moment of physical comedy was lost as they realised that Hotaru's death would affect their ability to fight off any threats to Crystal Tokyo.

"Don't worry, I've just spoken with the school. According to witnesses, a someone we know appeared and dealt with it in a timely fashion."

"Ranma," was the reply from the girls.

Setsuna nodded. "Yes, he also dealt with some of the bullies that were bothering her. Something about a special on Atomic Wedgies," she finished with a smile.

A faint sneeze was heard from a nearby rooftop.


**********


Ranma looked around and saw the Setsuna and friends in the schoolyard. He noticed that a number of the students were eating. 'Hmm, lunchtime,' he thought.

His rumbling stomach confirmed the time of day.

"Maybe they know where I can get some food," he speculated.

Foolishly deciding that the events that had taken place earlier were bizarre abberations, he jumped down to the ground. Landing on one foot, he walked to the school boundary and hoped that he wouldn't have his bones jumped by a number of boy crazy schoolgirls.


*********


"Excuse me, but do any of you know where I can get some food around here?"

The Senshi turned to the direction of the voice.

It took a lot of Setsuna's self control to not reply "I got something you can eat right here."

But it was Makoto that handed Ranma an extra bento she had prepared, just for this eventuality. Actually, it was in case she was reunited with her old boyfriend.

"Here you go Ranma," she smiled cutely at the pigtailed young man.

"Thanks Makoto," Ranma smiled back and promptly devoured the lunch. "That was delicious."

"You can come round for dinner, if you like," she offered, hoping that Ranma would accept.

"I wouldn't want to put you out, Makoto." Ranma was now starting to feel more than a little nervous.

Setsuna considered taking Ranma away to a love hotel for several hours of bedroom gymnastics, but before she make that rather inappropriate offer to the young Mr Saotome, a bright light appeared in the sky.

Ami Mizuno, with the help of the Mercury computer, recognised what this strange phenomenon meant. "Guys, we should get the others and transform. That's Chaos."

"Shit. Ami, contact the others. Ranma can you distract it so we can transform?" Setsuna asked.

"Not a problem. What's her weakness?"

"God only knows," Rei answered.

"Sounds like a challenge. I haven't backed down from a challenge in the past and I'm not about to start now," Ranma smirked.

Pulling his sword from seemingly nowhere, he circled the Senshi's biggest threat to date.

"Madam, Sir, whatever the hell you are, I'm only going ask nicely once. Will you stand down?"

Chaos merely laughed in Ranma's face, causing all witnesses to shiver involuntarily. Said laughter made Kodachi's deranged cackling seem like a young child's response to being tickled.

"I'll take that as a no. Well I might as try for first blood."

Having unsheathed his sword, Ranma charged for a two handed upward strike.

He was only mildly surprised to find his attack not harming his opponent. 'I should've guessed that this one would need special treatment. And this isn't a magical sword.'

The Senshi at the scene had now transformed and were ready to attack.

As the Inner Senshi attacked in a surprisingly coordinated fashion, Chaos was forced onto the back foot and didn't see Ranma sneaking up from behind.

Smirking, he cupped his hands. "Moko Takibasha."

The green light shot from his hands and slammed into the back of the interstellar troublemaker, knocking it down.

Using the opening, Ranma sliced off Chaos' head and held it aloft like a gruesome trophy.

"Are you going to cause any more trouble today?"

The head refused to answer, but the body had a smart assed response for Ranma in the shape of a claw through the chest.

"Injustice!" cried the Senshi.

Falling to his knees, Ranma couldn't help but think that his victory had seemed all too easy at first.

Luckily for the sailor-suited warriors of love and justice, the headless body now fought with a considerably reduced combat efficiency.

As they fought the beast, the other Senshi arrived. Hotaru rushed to Ranma's side to heal him with her magic, with the Uranus and Neptune attacked without mercy.

Hotaru blinked the tears from her eyes to keep her focus on healing the wounded man. "Please. Please don't die," she whispered.

The wound in Ranma's chest started to close and his breathing became normalised. Opening his eyes, Ranma saw the tears running down Saturn's face. "Hey now, I didn't come here to die, young lady. I've go too much to do."

Sitting up, he surveyed the battle. It did not look good. Mars' fire attacks had barely scorched the monster's hide while the others had little more success. Hotaru tried for a Silence Glaive Surprise and managed to hurt Chaos a little.

Suddenly, Uranus decided to go in for a berserk charge was knocked out cold, landing in an untidy heap.

Her sword, landed point down near Ranma, giving him an idea. "Respect is due to the Ni Ten Ichi Ryuu."

Picking up the fallen sword, Ranma charged, using his sword as a defensive weapon and Uranus' magically enhanced blade to remove the limbs.

Ami saw what would finish off the this last great threat. "Quick, Serenity use Moon Healing Escalation!"

As Usagi performed her manoeuvre on the limbless beast, Chaos emitted a horrendous screech the chilled the very souls of those present.

Setsuna looked round the fighters for injuries, seeing that no-one was seriously hurt she quickly left to check on the future.

Upon her return, she had a relieved look on her face. "Good news, everybody. Crystal Tokyo will be established within a week. Ranma, thank you for everything."

"No problem, just doing my job. But now that my work here is done, I must leave. There are many other timelines that need my help." Ranma bowed deeply from the waist to each of the Senshi in turn.

Dialing Jenny on his phone, Ranma requested a portal to the ship. Stepping into the light, Ranma waved goodbye to the girls. "I make no guarantees, but I'll see if I can visit."

"Setsuna, do you think that we'll see him again?" Minako turned to the Senshi of time, only to not find her in the vincinity.

"Hey, where'd Setsuna go?" Makoto asked, having noticed a one of their number was missing.

"You don't think she...?" Rei suggested.


**********


Onboard the Jade Falcon, Ranma breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"Jenny, I'm going to be in the bath for a nice long soak. After that, it's lunch followed by naptime."

"Ok Ranma, I'll start planning the next mission."

Ranma nodded.

Stripping off as he made his way to the bathroom, Ranma checked his chest to see the state of the wound.

"That's not going to leave too bad a scar," he mused.

Opening the door, he was surprised to see a towel clad Setsuna smiling at him.

"Setsuna, what are you doing here?"

"Well I did plan to spend the next week doing you as per the Kama Sutra. But I know that you must be tired, so I thought that a bath would be appropriate. Want me to wash your back?"

To be continued....


Thanks go out to Chi Vayne, who pre-read this for me.



A bit anti-climatic, I know but I don't know Sailor Moon. And quite frankly, I don't have the time to do the proper research.

Next time, Ranma does stuff.

Laterer.
