Pluto’ Son Written by Leonardo B. Castro The past is like the ocean. You flow through it when you are in it. It both is beautiful and calming, as it can be violent and horrible. And if you turn your back on it even once, you’ll be hit by the coming waves and swept away. Story – Chapter Six Ranma walked into the living room to see Hotaru trying to wake the two unconscious Outer Senshi. “Hotaru,” Ranma ran to Haruka’s side, “what happen here?” Hotaru told him what happen and was shock to see Ranma rolling on the floor, laughing. After she finished her bout of laughter, she looked at Hotaru. She gulped when she saw Hotaru glaring at her. “Well you forgot that they don’t know that I can change genders like I change clothes.” Ranma told her. Hotaru thought about what she said and how she sounded like, and then she promptly fainted. Ranma unsuccessfully wake her up. Setsuna walked into the room and frown when she saw the outer Senshi collapsed on the floor and Ranma trying to wake Hotaru. “I guessed Hotaru told them already.” She said. “You knew this was going to happen, mother.” Ranma asked. “Of course. I was going to ask if I could talk to Hotaru alone when Haruka and Michiru dragged her off.” Setsuna replied. “They not going to be happy this has happened you know.” Ranma stood up. “Of course Ranma. You may become a target for the next few days.” Setsuna said as she left. She sure has charged. She would have been rolling on the floor laughing at Hotaru and mine’s predicament, Ranma thought. Maybe she already laughed when she saw it through the gates of time or maybe she changed a lot, Ranma started to ponder. Then, the waking Hotaru brought Ranma back to earth. “Hotaru, are you okay.” Ranma asked the Senshi of Saturn. “Setsuna-mama?” Hotaru sounded confused. “Wrong eye-color squirt.” Ranma said as she pointed to her eyes. “Oh.” Hotaru remembered. “RAMMIE” Hotaru glomped Ranma with strength that Amazon would applaud to. “Okay…need…air…let…go.” Ranma gasped out. “Sorry,” Hotaru let go of Ranma, “I just couldn’t help myself.” “It’s okay squirt,” Ranma straighten her suit, “Let go for some ice cream.” Ranma held out her hand and Hotaru eagerly grabbed it. “Let’s go.” Hotaru led Ranma out the door and the were soon on there way to the ice cream shop. In China, The Musk Dynasty… Ryoga suddenly appeared in front of Herb in the throne room. “Herb, my mistress summons you.” Ryoga said. “Huh,” Herb looked at the lost boy in confusion, “what does Akane want.” Damn, went did Ryoga get this powerful. He might be a threat, Herb thought. “What does this have to do with Akane.” Ryoga asked in confusion. “You said your mistress…” Herb left the statement open. “She not my mistress. She going to be my wife.” Ryoga told him. “How does,” Herb leaned froward on his throne, “Akari feel about this.” Herb was glad he paid that Tendo girl over the Internet to get up to date information on the Nerima Wrecking Crew. “Well, we had falling out and we broke up when I discover she was in love with my pig form.” Ryoga said in a quiet voice. “That must hurt. I hope you and Akane hit things off.” Herb said. God, that threat was easy, Herb smiled as he thought. Ryoga left. Lady Quartz was not amused that he was out-witted and showed her displeasure. Ten minutes later he returned the Herb’s throne room looking beaten up. “Very funny.” Ryoga huffed as he grabbed Herb and Teleported back to the Quartz Crystal Palace. Hotaru and Ranma entered the ice cream shop. Unbeknownst to them, the Inner Senshi were in there. How unfortunate that Ranma was still in girl form and looking like his mother’s double. Usagi was too busy pigging out on her ice cream to notice Ranma and Hotaru. Rei was too busy pretending not to know Usagi to notice that our heroic youth and the Senshi of Silence. Minako and Mokoto were drooling over some boy in the next booth to notice Ranma and the most powerful Senshi eating a bowl ice cream. Amy was too busy too look up from her book titled ‘Dragon Angel’ and didn’t see them. It wasn’t until Ranma and Hotaru was leaving when they noticed them. Hotaru said something and Ranma started to laugh. This of drew the Senshi interest. When they saw Ranma laughing, who looked a lot like Setsuna, and their brains overloaded. “Setsuna…” Minako started. “Is…is…” Ami continued. “Laughing…like…like…” Mokoto picked it up. “A...a…a.” Rei stuttered. “Normal…gi…gi…girl.” Usagi finished. Then they all fainted on top each other. Shortly after Ranma and Hotaru left, Mamoru entered the ice cream shop. He was not amused when he saw the girls. From his view by the door, it looked like Rei was burying her face into Usagi’s chest and Ami and Minako were cuddling with Mokoto. He left and he threw the banquet of rose he had into the trash. Also, Naru saw the Inner Senshi as she and her boyfriend went inside the ice cream shop. She was not amused when her boyfriend had a nosebleed and fainted. “Hotaru, there was a reason I did this.” Ranma told her as they walked toward the mall. “There is,” Hotaru sounded hopeful with happiness swelling inside of her. “I’m going to awaken Sora today.” Ranma said. He immediate noticed the red battle aura that Hotaru showed. “Pebbles, you’re bring Pebbles back.” “Hotaru, she not that bad.” Ranma tried to calm her. “She not that bad.” Hotaru said in a low voice. Hotaru battle aura grew. “Why do you want rock head back?” “She’s a earth mage, not rock head. She my apprentice, you know that.” Ranma said. Hotaru exploded. “EARTH MAGE. EARTH MAGE MY A---“ “Hotaru.” Ranma scold her in a firm voice. “Sorry for the out burst,” Hotaru return to normal, “Why do you want Pebbles back?” “I have to finish her training. And there she is now.” Ranma pointed to the girl being chased into the alley by some boys. “Great,” Hotaru rolled up her eyes and let out a sigh, “we have to save Pebbles.” “Again.” Hotaru added that as an after note as she and Ranma ran to Sora’s aid. Sora was not having a good day. She got separated from her friends and now some perverts cornered her in some dead end alley. She didn’t want to get raped. Not on her birthday: not like this. She didn’t want to end her life like this. One of the perverts lunged at her. She closed her eyes and screamed. After five seconds, she realized that some else happened. She open her eyes and saw two of the pervert on the floor and the last one going twenty miles per hour into the building across the street. And there, was a green hair woman and little gloomy girl that seem to be staring daggers into her. “T-t-th-thank you.” She stuttered out. “Feh, it was nothing.” The green haired woman said. “Well, good bye.” Sora said. “Wait not yet.” The green hair woman said. “This might sting.” The woman said as she lifted her hand and it glowed. Then Sora’s world went black. Images of a life long gone flowed into Sora’s head. Of a gentle Queen that loved her like a second daughter. A princess that treated her like she was a member of the family. Six sailor-suited Senshi that called her sister. Then she saw a lone guardian that watched over the powerful gates of time. A mage that she loved and learned from. An image young Senshi with a glaive that rivaled her for her love’s hand came to her mind next. Then, she remembered her past life. Not all of it, but enough that she knew certain things and the moon kingdom. She opened her eyes once more. “God. Setsuna that hurt you know. Must everything be quick and painful when includes you.” Sora said as she saw a familiar green haired woman. “I’m not Setsuna.” Ranma said. Sora looked closer at the green hair woman and… To be continued… Praise me or burn me…but at least tell me what on your mind.
