Prologue: Aunts and Uncles 3:40am Meiji era Tokyo Kenshin woke with a start, and quickly took a deep calming breath trying to remember every detail of the dream he just had. Quickly lighting a small oil lamp, he gathered his writing materials and began putting everything he could recall down on paper. Even with all his years of training, and a danger sense honed by years of combat he didn’t feel the eyes that watched from the dark corner of his room. After an hour of writing, Kenshin put down his quill and sat back. Thinking back on the dream, and looking back on what he had written. And came to a quick decision, if the dream was honest, in the morning he would go down to the small shrine from his dream, and see if anyone showed up. With that last thought he doused his lamp and walked to the doorway and looked up towards the moon, he didn’t understand all of the dream, but he understood enough to realize someone close to him was in danger. As Kenshin stood looking at the moon, Sailor Pluto allowed herself a small smile, *Yes, Kenshin we do need your help, and for Usagi’s sake you come. * The Senshi of time quietly faded from the room. 7am 1994 Tokyo. Ranma Saotome walked toward Juban high school, it was the first day of his last year of high school, and things were looking up for a change, his fiancée problems were greatly reduced, he was doing pretty well in school now, and he was finally all paid up with Nabiki. And all these things came about because he decided to take control of his life, after having a real honest talk with Akane they both decided they cared about each other as friends and confronted their fathers together. Needless to say Genma, and Soun put forth all of their best arguments ranging from demon head attacks to attacks on their personal honor, the defense against all of this was a united front, and the threat of getting one Nodaka Saotome involved. Handling Shampoo was actually fairly easy, Ranma watched the nekohanten until he knew Cologne was there setting things up by herself and in he walked, sat down and waited for the amazon elder to take a seat across from him, after explaining to the old woman that if she continued to pursue him for her tribe he would continually run from the village, give shampoo no signs of affection, and no children. To say that the amazon was stunned was an understatement, after a while it was agreed that shampoo could pursue him in a normal way, they even went on a few dates and had a fairly goodtime although neither thought anything was going to come from this experiment. Ukyo was a more touchy matter; Ranma was truly desperate not to lose his best friend, and closest confidant. So when he confronted her on this matter, he told he that he was going to ask his mother for a loan to pay off the yattie, so they could just be friends again and maybe go out with no outside pressures, thinking he was bluffing, she agreed. She would never have given up her trump card had she known he had planned to go to his mother’s that very night. Ranma smiled to him self as he recalled meeting with his mother,as cursed as he was he managed to get to her home in jubaan with out any problems. He started to get a bit nervous when apparently the next-door neighbor waved him over and introduced herself as Ikkou Tskino a good friend of his mothers, and go on to say that his mother should be home any moment. A slightly bewildered Ranma asked how she knew his name. The answer nearly floored him; his mother always had more and more new photos of him that the pretty and polite Kasumi always brought with her on her visits with Nodaka. As Ranma soon found out his mother knew everything about him thanks to Kasumi, his mother waited for today, the day he would be man enough to ask his mother for help, which being from a wealthy family was easy to accomplish. So here he was in his last year of high school, walking his neighbor Usagi and her friends to their first day of high school. He got along surprisingly well with the five girls, well at least after he got over some of the goo-goo eyes he received from them, giving them a casual wave he headed into what he thought would be just another day at school. Lynn Suzaku stared mindlessly at the computer screen in front of her she was already bored with taking these home classes to get her high school diploma. If only her mistress hadn’t sent those fund papers to her current guardian with instructions to have Lynn continue her education in college, why even her boyfriend thought it was an excellent idea. Well in her humble opinion she could have gone straight to college with her test scores and high school be damned. *Well just another boring couple of hours of reviewing text books that I already know about, I really don’t think anyone can tell me more about the Battousai than I already know. * Somewhere Sailor Pluto had a good laugh. “Hey Nene, you awake” Priss elbowed the shorter girl. “ Yes.” The answer came with a muffled yawn. Even though Genom had been over thrown Priss had talked Nene into a martial arts class. “I wonder who the mystery girl is the sensei is marrying next week?” Priss asked trying to get her friend out of the funk of the past few days. “I think it’s one of the owners daughters.” “Wow, old man Tendo must’ve kept pretty active, in his old age.” Priss was saying as they entered the dojo. As Nene went to follow a hand fell lightly on her shoulder and a soft voice caused her to turn around, “Nene Rominova it’s time to have a little talk.” Nene looked into the crystal red eyes, and instant memories filled her head. After a moment of confusion, recognition filled her face. “Alright Setsuna, but what about my friends.” “Don’t worry, certain things will work out if we succeed.” Setsuna smiled at nene as they teleported to the time gates, and from there to the next appointment with destiny.
