Pluto’s Son Written By Leonardo Castro Dreams of youth and past hold honest truths. Love, dreams, and hopes are one. Intertwining with each other. Love, dreams, and hopes are one of the strongest forces in the cosmos. Story – Chapter Four Minako was having a nightmare. A handsome guy was dumping her again. However, this dream took place in the Silver Millennium, not at some cheap county fair. She couldn’t see his face, but she knew this was the most handsome man she ever lain eyes upon. Now all she needed to do is find this hunk if he was reincarnated and make up with him. She could hear his name in the dream. His name was… Artemis, who was sleeping on Minako’s bed, was being severely crushed by the girl’s rolling and tossing. He managed to pull himself out from under Minako and took a look at the blonde girl. She was having a terrible nightmare. “Minako, wake up.” He said loudly in her ear. He repeated it several time, each time louder. Minako could hear the name. Then Artemis’s voice broke through into her dream and disrupted it. Her eyes flared open as she sat up in bed. She didn’t care it was two o’ clock in the morning. All she could think about that boy, and his name. Ranma. Ranma of Pluto. Who was this Ranma of Pluto? Maybe he was related to Setsuna. A brother or nephew or something. She’ll just bring it up at the next Senshi meeting at Rei’s temple. Minako sighed contently as she remembered the fuzzy feeling that she got from Ranma. She prayed that he was still alive. Of course now all she had to do was find him and make up, and then the hunk will be all hers. Of course she’d have to remember what he exactly look like. She had a rough image of what he looked. Flowing green hair. He should have a strong and lean frame, but his thick cloak and armor hid his body. Before the nightmare ended, the shadow shrouding his face faded away. But she didn’t look at his face. She instead looked deeply into his eyes. Those beautiful eyes. Oh her Ranma. She couldn’t believe that anyone could have such beautiful eyes. Even though they were only looking upon her with anger, she knew there was love there as well. All she had to do was find it. He’ll forgive her once she put on her charms. Oh, my beautiful eyed Ranma; I will have you soon, Minako vowed. She laid back in bed and rest. And was she going to need it. For tomorrow, she was going back on the hunt. And this time, she’ll win her man. Or at least that what she thought. If you could ask the white cat that was knocked unconscious when he smashed into wall because he was catapulted into wall when Minako got up to quickly. He would have said that this has happened before, and the same result would occur. Minako was going to have a broken heart. Rei couldn’t sleep. She was having visions. That is why she had immediate seek the answer from the sacred fire. That why she was praying in front of it even in three o’ clock in the morning. For an hour, she prayed. Then, she saw an image of that boy she saw yesterday. This time, he was wearing a red Chinese silk shirt and black silk pants. Who was he? Why does he seem familiar? Like I know him from somewhere? Rei wondered. Then it hit. She remembered something from the moon kingdom. The boy was dying. He had a huge hole in the side where blood flowed open out of his rapidly cooling body. His sigil, this time only of Pluto, was faded and pulsed with weak energy. All the scouts and Queen Serenity were kneel around his dying form. Sailor Pluto cradled the boy’s head in her arms as tear flowed free from her eyes. She was letting out a wail. This Pluto was so different then the one they know now. This one was showing her emotions. So unlike the cold woman Rei met. This boy must have meant so much to Setsuna for the lonely Senshi of Time to bare her soul as such. Princess Serena was weeping into a handkerchief. She kind of looked like what she is now, Usagi, with that wailing and crying. But unlike now, she had a very good reason to cry. This boy was also important to Princess Serena as well. Sailor Venus was wept as well. Sailor Mercury was trying to calm her down. But Rei could see the tears steaming down Mercury’s cheeks. Sailor Jupiter was also crying. Jupiter was trying to wipe the tears away one of her hands, but they just won’t go. They were unstoppable. The tears came like a flood. Sailor Saturn was trying to heal the boy. Then her hands pressed against the fatal wound and were soaked in blood. She brought her blood stain gloved hand in front of her face. She stared absently at her hands as tears fell from her eyes. Sailor Uranus was holding Sailor Neptune’s hand. The boy condition greatly effected them. Tears brimmed at their eyes. But it could be easily said that Sailor Uranus was taking this harder then Sailor Neptune. Rei could see herself as Sailor Mars. She could tell that she was as spiritual then as she is now. In the memory, she was praying for the boy. Praying for his life and safe journey to the next world. Then her prayer stopped when a silver glow from Queen Serenity radiated and filled the room. No, it wasn’t coming from her, but the Silver Imperial Crystal. The Queen had it in her hands. Her eyes had glazed over. Then the light grew so bright, that Rei, even though this was a vision of her past, was blinded. When see could see again, she noticed that Serenity rest against a wall, trying to catch her breath. She also noticed that Ranma’s wound was gone. As if there had been nothing wrong, other then tatter clothes, with him. There wasn’t even a scar remaining. On his forehead, the sigil of Pluto was now overlapping the sigil of the Moon. Then the vision of her past ended and looked around. The sun will soon rise. Damn, she didn’t even sleep a wink last night. Makoto woke up early this morning. She couldn’t help get over that dream she had last night. It was during the Silver Millennium. All the boys had ignored her because of her tomboyish behavior and constant fighting. They went after Sailor Venus and Sailor Mercury for their looks and manners. They called her Sailor Tomboy and Sailor Boy Scout behind her back. They all teased her, except one boy. He, like his mother, was immortal so he was more matured than the other boys were. He took her to the Jupiter Ball. Even after she protested and threatens him with bodily harm. When they got there, she feared that she would be laughed out of the ball. Instead, she was the envy of the ball because of her date. Girls wanted to be her while guys looked at her with new eyes. If Prince Ranma of Pluto asked her out to the ball, then she must be the perfect girl. After that night, she was being offered dates from rich nobles and rouges. Every girl tried to be her friend. She had received letters that asked that she would come to romantic resorts. Of course, she turned them all down. Of course, this drove her popular high because she was titled as forbidden fruit or as Miss Popularity. Oh, if only Ranma really existed. She would follow him to the ends of the world and beyond. Damn, he was handsome. Ryoga watch as the sun came up. He was sure he was somewhere in Kyoto or Okinawa. He couldn’t tell. All he knew that his mistress chewed him out last night for failing his mission. Now he was sent out to fish new recruits Maybe he’ll get Saffron and Herb. Now all he had to do was teleport to China. And as leaves in the wind passed by, Ryoga vanished in a puff of smoke. Sora Koga birthday was today. She’ll finally be nineteen. She was going to go boy hunting tonight with her friends. Maybe she would find that… To be continued… Praise me or burn me…but at least tell me what on your mind.
