"Breakfasts ready!" sang out an ever cheerful Kasumi.

 

A large panda was the first at the table and began drooling. He was closely followed by Akane in her ever present yellow gi. Nabiki stumbled down the steps with her usual morning grace. Soun simply sat in his usual position, ready for food. Kasumi began to bring the food out and place it on the table, but began frowning slightly when she noticed Ranma missing.

 

"Where's Ranma?" Nabiki asked as she woke up enough to note her favourite cash cows absence.

 

"Hmph, probably still sleeping." Grumbled an irate Akane.

 

Genma just drooled at Kasumi's exquisite food.

 

Meanwhile Ranma still slept peacefully on the roof. Although, it should be noted that there was a faint white glow surrounding him and his already impressive physique had grown to be sightly more impressive. His hair had also grown somewhat spikier, barely managing to remain braided, a single silver streak ran down the centre of his head and twisted throughout his pig-tail. Ranma's lips formed his trademark smirk as he rolled over.

 

"Akane, could you please go and wake Ranma." Kasumi politely asked her sister.

 

"Idiot, why can't he ever wake up on time. We'll be late again" Akane muttered as she stomped up the stairs, her hands forming fists at her sides.

 

She grabbed the fire bucket ready to splash her fiancé as per usual. Opening the guest room door she hefted the bucket in her arms ready. Much to her surprise the guest room was empty. Ranma's futon appeared unslept in. This of course made Akane even angrier. Images of Ranma cavorting with his floozies flew through her mind. She turned and stomped back down the steps.

 

"He's off with his floozies again."

 

This statement started Soun's tears and Genma's ranting. Nabiki simply rolled her eyes at her sisters typical assumption when Ranma was missing. Kasumi lost her frown, her thoughts along the lines of 'oh he's out playing with his friends, I'll just put something away for him'. This did not continue long as everyone noticed the food disappearing, Genma would not wait for his son to eat - besides he could get the boys portion too.

 

Shortly after Akane had left for school and Soun and Genma had begun their daily cheating... err shogi match, Ranma began to stir. He felt refreshed after the best nights sleep he could remember. Springing down from the roof Ranma sauntered into the house wondering why his pops or Akane had not woken him. Seeing Kasumi come out of the kitchen but no Nabiki or Akane kick started his brain.

 

"Aaaaaaaargh, I gonna be late!!!!!!!!"

 

Ranma turned around and ran quickly to school.

 

Tearing through the gates Ranma jumped over an unconscious Kuno and leapt into through the window of his classroom just before the bell rang. Grabbing his usual seat he noticed that Akane was not here yet. Sitting at his usual desk he yelped and started clutching the ceiling.

 

"Ranma honey, when did you get a tail?" asked a concerned Ukyo, her weird-o-meter moving from a five to a six.

 

"Huh, what?" came the intelligent reply as Ranma dropped down and began peering behind him where a tail may have been. Sure enough there was a silver tail waving slowly behind him. This of course was the source of his pain as he had managed to sit on it when he sat in his chair. Just then Akane arrived puffing in the doorway, her anger grew at seeing Ranma was in class before her. Neither had noticed that the teacher had arrived during Ranmas tail watching.

 

"Akane, Ranma. Buckets. Hall. Now."

 

With a sigh from Ranma, and Akane glaring at Ranma, both proceeded to collect the already filled buckets by the door and walk into the hall. Some things just never changed.

 

!@#$%

 

Lunch time came and Ranma, who by this time had been allowed back in the classroom, leapt from the window to get to his favourite lunch spot. He hoped that Ukyo would be cooking since he had not had time to grab a Bento from Kasumi. By now he had resigned himself to the fact that he had a tail, and figured out how to wrap it around his waist like a belt so that he wouldn't accidentally sit on it again.

 

Sitting in his usual tree he waited for everyone to come out of class. He watched Akane walk out with Ukyo, both talking to each other about something and sending quick glances his way. Now he knew he had a tail, he would go and see the old ghoul about it after school. He didn't know what extreme circumstances would get Akane talking to Ukyo - in fact chills were running down his spine, right down to the tip of his new tail. The girls headed over to join him. Ukyo immediately began setting up her grill.

 

"Ranma honey, why the new look?" Ukyo asked Ranma curiously.

 

"Hmph, the pervert probably just wants to go and get some more fiancés. Akane spat, sticking her nose in the air.

 

"Is that true Ranma honey?" Ukyo was now cradling her BAS (big ass spatula), and looking a bit more menacing than she had previously.

 

Now Ranma had been getting steadily sick of his panda imposed fiancés, and their attitudes, over the last few months, but as usual he put on his dumb jock persona for them. The sound of a ringing bell in the distance causing shivers to join the chills running up and down his spine and tail.

 

"What new looks, the tail? Yep seen that."

 

"No sugar, the hair - and you seemed to have buffed up a little."

 

"What about my hair?" Actually now he thought about it his shirt was a little tighter than usual. It was then that the bicycle of doom descended from the heavens and nailed Ranma right on the head.

 

"Aiya, husband get new look, Shampoo like." Shampoo said from her bicycle while her eyes roved over Ranmas now larger build, then she noticed the tail "when husband get tail?" Said tail twitched. Resigned to his fate Ranma got out from under the bike and slowly stood up. Yes, the fiancés were really starting to annoy him.

 

"What do you want Shampoo."

 

"Shampoo bring Husband too, too delicious Ramen, then Husband take Shampoo on date, yes?" Asked Shampoo in her cutest most bubbly voice. This of course made number one and number two fiancé mad. Ukyo and Akanes responses to this request was hardly unusual.

 

"Ranchan has school you Chinese bimbo." Ukyo glared daggers at Shampoo.

 

"Ranma no BAKA!" Akane screamed as she nailed Ranma with Ukyo's grill sending him into LEO - well the grill was the nearest blunt object. In her mind he deserved it for making a date with shampoo behind her back, and flirting right in front of her.

 

!@#$%

 

Ranma sailed through the air, a far too usual occurrence in his books, although the grill didn't really hurt as much as it should have because it hadn't been turned on yet. His thoughts from the previous night returned in full. Yes it was time to get rid of all of his fiancés once and for all. With that goal in mind Ranma twisted in mid-air and began to look at the ground beneath him. Just this once he would land on his feet, the Uncute Tomboy would not leave him knocked out in a gutter ever again. It was then he noticed that he didn't recognise any landmarks beneath him, and he was still ascending. Wow, clear out of Nerima, at least this gives me an excuse not to go back to school today. Placing his hands on his head he begins to enjoy the sensation of flying, while he had not yet figured out how he was going to get rid of the fiancés, deciding to get them out of his life removed an unwanted burden.

 

Ten minutes later Ranma began his descent. Looking down he could barely make out where one building ended and another began. Seeing a park in the distance he began angling his body towards it, using all the aerial techniques of his school to help slow his descent and plan his landing. Unconsciously he began using his ki to control his fall, he noticed that if he directed it just under his feet he could almost fly - just like Herb. Focusing on learning to fly he soared ever closer to the park in the distance. By the time he could make out individuals he was going slow enough that he could pick a landing spot where no-one would see his landing - after all how many people look up in this day and age.

 

It was looking for his landing that he noticed a battle going on between a girl in a short skirt with light green hair and what looked to be two demons. Said demons looked to be female and had a tire positioned vertically from their throats to just blow their waists. There was a tall red haired woman wearing a tight black dress floating above the waterfall.

 

A blond girl dressed in a similar skirt burst out of the bushes to aid the green haired girl. The two tire demons then tied the green haired girl to a tree. The situation looked hopeless, Ranma not even realising it, had started hovering above the scene off to one side.

 

The blasts that the girls were firing at the demon seemed to have no effect. The moment he landed another girl in a short skirt burst out of the bushes, she had two long blond pony tails flowing out from the back of her head. Ranma saw her throw something that freed the green haired woman. Seeing the demon handcuff the two blonds together Ranma decided to intervene.

 

"Hey tire bimbo's, why don't you fight me - I've had a really bad day and need to work of some stress." Ranma cracked his knuckles and smirked. Everyone turned to look at Ranma, he looked scary standing in a martial arts stance with a silver streak through his hair.

 

"Get him." Ordered Kaori Nite. The two daimons then began rolling towards Ranma and the fight was joined. Ranma began taunting and dodging the daimons as they threw attacks at him.

 

Concerned for the newcomer Sailor Moon began to head towards the fight to help him out. Sailor Uranus had other ideas and was heading towards Neptune. Both forgot that they were handcuffed to each other so the fell flat on their faces.

 

Then Sailor Neptune yelled out, "Uranus, escape! You have to live and complete the mission." This outburst annoyed Kaori Nite as she was still trying to figure out where the boy had come from, and was frustrated that the daimons weren't finishing him quickly so that the could deal with the senshi. Ranma glanced up just in time to see an annoyed Kaori Nite grab Neptune and throw her over the waterfall.

 

Not wanting an innocent to get injured Ranma quickly ran to the waterfall and dove off in an effort to catch the falling girl. Seeing this Uranus began running away, dragging a concerned Sailor Moon after her. The demons deprived of both prey looked confused at Kaori Nite.

 

"Go after the two Senshi." Kaori Nite fumed. The daimons were stupid and required far more direction than they should have, she mused. At least throwing Neptune off the waterfall had rid her of the boy as well.

 

Ranma angled himself down for maximum speed, he was quickly gaining on the green haired girl. He only managed to grab her just before they both plunged into the icy depths at the bottom of the waterfall. Kicking strongly the now short red head angled herself toward the surface dragging a semi-conscious girl in a mini skirt to the edge of the water. Once they were both ashore Neptune awoke in the red heads arms.

 

"Thank you for helping me out of the water, who are you?" A blushing Sailor Neptune asked.

 

"Um, I'm Ranma Saotome, sorry about this." Ranma mumbled scratching her pigtail. "Oh yeah, I got some demons to catch, will you be okay?".

 

"Yes, thanks to you." Neptune spoke quietly discreetly watching the interesting things that were happening beneath Ranma's wet silk shirt as the girl scratched her head.

 

"Well, see ya!" Ranma sprang back to her feet, and headed towards where the battle was. In her mind silently congratulating herself on how she had avoided another fiancé by changing. Maybe her luck was really changing.

 

!@#$%

 

When Ranma returned the clearing was empty, so she began following the tire tracks that led from the clearing. Soon he came across the two daimons. Shouting to get their attention she assumed a stance.

 

"What are ya looking for ya tire bimbo's?"

 

Now youma aren't the smartest beings to exist, in fact, they are easily distracted, So they turned around. They also seem to be quite vain and have a dislike for insults, so they were enraged at the taunts thrown at them by this girl, a girl that they had never seen before. Consequently, they responded to the provocation and attacked. Ranma was in heaven, here he was up against opponents that were tougher than Ryoga.

 

Dancing around the two daimons, Ranma launched attack after attack. Beating on the two daimons as she never could Ryoga, because pig boy could not take it. She was getting kind of worried when all of her beating didn't even slow these demons down, so she decided it was time to up the ante.

 

"Mokou Takabisha!" screams Ranma as she launches her trademark ki attack at one of the daimons. A chunk of tire is blown off said daimon.

 

"That hurt little girl, playtimes over, now you're gonna pay!" The daimon yelled charging at Ranma. Ranma just threw more taunts at her and jumped out of the way.

 

'Man, that blast was stronger than I have ever managed before, I wonder if it has anything to do with the tail' Ranma thought to herself as she dodged yet another blast from the daimon. She then noticed the two blond girls, still hand cuffed enter the clearing. Both seemed to be co-operating more than when she had seen them previously.

 

Kaori Nite appeared in the clearing to check on the daimons progress in eliminating the Senshi, but was annoyed to find that they were fighting yet another girl and ignoring said Senshi. Catching the redhead unaware she nailed her on the head hard, knocking her out cold.

 

"I told you to find and eliminate the Sailor Senshi you incompetent idiots" Kaori Nite raged.

 

The daimons cringed and turned to face the previously unnoticed senshi.

 

Seeing the girl knocked unconscious gave the Senshi a new motive to fight. Thus their actions seemed to be much more in concert than they had previously. After dodging a few attacks in unison the both held up their hands for the cuffs to be cut by a stray attack.

 

Kaori Nite could not believe that the girls were working together so much better than before. So when Neptune walked out of the forest and threw a deep submerge into the battle, she swooped down ready to finish off at least one of the Senshi herself. Sailor Moon saw this and threw herself at Kaori Nite breaking her aim enough so that Sailor Neptune could escape. Regrouping, the three Senshi stood side by side eying the daimons warily.

 

"What are you waiting for get them!" Screamed Kaori Nite.

 

However it was too late for the daimons. Sailor Uranus threw a world shaking. Sailor Neptune threw a deep submerge. Sailor Moon threw a moon spiral heart attack. The daimons could only look on in horror as one was atomised by a wave of water, another by a ball of yellow energy, and the final one by a giant pink heart.

 

Kaori Nite looked on with her face twisted in rage, then she simply vanished.

 

"I think a little bit better of you. But I won't let anyone interfere with our mission." Uranus spoke in an emotionless tone, as if simply stating a fact. Sailor Moon nodded as she ran over to check on the unconscious red head, Rolling the red head onto her back, she pulled the girls head into her lap.

 

"Why did you risk yourself to save me?" Neptune asked Uranus.

 

"The one that saved you was her." Uranus stated as she pointed to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon simply sat holding the red head.

 

"The red headed girl helped me out of the waterfall." Neptune mused.

 

Sailor Neptune then approached Sailor Moon, Sailor Uranus trailed behind. She looked at the Senshi on the ground holding the red headed girls head in her lap. When sailor moon glanced up at the two Senshi, Neptune's face held gratitude, while Uranus's was an unreadable mask.

 

"Thankyou, please take care of the girl." With that Neptune and Uranus leapt off, leaving Sailor Moon with an unconscious red head in her lap.

 

Sailor Moon had been sitting there for a while unconsciously stroking the girls hair. It was such a vibrant red, and there was a strange silver streak running down the centre, much the same as the black haired boy who had started the fight earlier and gone to rescue Neptune from the waterfall. She also wondered why Neptune and Uranus were so unwilling to accept her help, why did they just consider her to be a nuisance? While she was thinking about all of these things she noticed the silver sash around the girls waste twitch, and gasped when she noticed that it was a tail.

 

The red head began to groan and opened her eyes.

 

"Urgh, what hit me." She groaned blinking at the bright light and the blond girl leaning over her.

 

"Ummm, who are you?" asked a not quite awake Ranma.

 

"My name is Sailor Moon." She gently replied while still stroking Ranma's hair "What is your name?"

 

"Ranma Saotome, sorry about this." A slightly disoriented Ranma struggled to his feet. "Ummm, thanks for taking care of me - where did the demons go anyway?"

 

"We defeated them."

 

"Oh well, ummm, I'll just be going then."

 

"Alright."

 

Both girls headed off in their own separate directions with different thoughts running through their heads. Sailor Moon was wondering why she felt a kinship with the strange girl. Ranma, on the other hand, was griping to herself about how she had let her guard down so that she had to be rescued by some girl, oh yes she was praying that her pops never found out - some hot water wouldn't go astray either.

 

!@#$%

 

Authors Notes: I will refer to Ranma as female when he is in female form to avoid confusion. No names for the senshi yet, at this stage they still don't know each others identities after all. This story takes place during Sailor Moon S - episode 98. Ranma is after Saffron and the failed wedding attempt. Yep and I always thought that Kaori Night packed a punch. References:
