Note: I didn't know where I was going to put SailorMoon timeline in.  
I mean if I set it after SailorMoon Stars they already beat everything 
they can possibly imagine.  They beat Sailor Galaxia and she is supposed 
to be the most powerful solider in the Galaxy.  So, I kept on thinking 
and thinking and decided to change the events so that it takes place 
during the SailorMoon Stars.  So this takes place right after Mamoru 
goes off to America and Seiya starts to have feelings for Usagi this 
will be like the movies R, S, and SS you know how you can't really put 
them in the SailorMoon timeline.  Ranma takes place after the failed 
wedding attempt.  I'm just assuming that Usagi goes to Juuban High.

Ranma1/2 and SailorMoon Crossover.

Remembered

Chapter 3.

"You want me to do WHAT!!!"

"Easy Nabiki you didn't have to yell out so loud!"

"Ranma, let me get this straight, you want me to help you disappear 
>from Nerima without anybody following you is that what you just asked 
me to do?"

"Yeah, that's about right"

"I think you have gone completely crazy.  First of all, why would I 
do something like that for you?  Second, what good would it do?  
Third, even if that is possible, how long before they track you again?  
Forth, don't you think they will cause me bodily harm when they find 
out?  Fifth..."

That was as far as she got before Ranma put his hand on her mouth to 
quiet her down.

"Nabiki, I know it's a hard thing to do, but you are smart, smarter 
than most people I know and you are good at things like that.  I'm 
sure you can come up with something, and of course I will pay for 
your service"

Ranma said it while keeping his hand covering Nabiki's mouth.  At 
this point, Nabiki was thinking various thoughts.  She was thinking 
about how dare Ranma do this to her, how dare Ranma touch her, to 
take her now.

Contrary to what most believe, Nabiki liked her man to be forceful 
to take control.  She was in control in almost all things in her 
life, and she liked strong men and she wanted someone to take control 
of their love life.

<What am I thinking, this is Ranma!>

With that thought, Nabiki batted his hand away from her and stared 
at him with that look of ice.

"Ranma, what you are asking me to do is hard.  Besides we are in a 
school year and it's not going to be easy to have you disappear 
>from school and such"

"Oh that, don't worry about that, I already talked to mom about it 
and she said she can have me transferred to a different school by 
the time I come back from school today"

<What??  What's going on?  Ranma is actually planning things?>

"Ranma, it seems that you have thought about this, but are you sure 
you are doing the right thing?"

"Huh?  What are you talking about Nabiki?"

"Ranma, you know what I'm talking about"

"Actually I don't, what are you talking about?"

"Does the name Setsuna ring a bell?"

<How did she find out?>

[Ranma, I think you are in trouble]

[I know that!]

"How?"

"I pay attention Ranma.  I heard that name you whispered the first 
thing you woke up.  Of course Akane heard it too and that's why she 
pounded on you again, if my guess is correct, you are probably going 
to go see her"

[Busted Ranma]

[Shut up Ranko.  Beside I'm not going to see her, I'm going to find 
the Princess]

[Sure you keep telling yourself that]

"Ranma?  Hello?  You there?  I didn't mean to shock you so bad"

"It's not that Nabiki.  Well, what you said might be true, but it's 
not the whole truth.  I just need to get away from here, get away 
>from all the craziness for a while"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you know what happened up till now don't you?  All the fiancee 
problems and all the enemies and trouble that I seem to attract left 
and right?"

"Yes Ranma, it has been very entertaining"

"Well, the last one was just the worst, I mean, me and Akane could 
have died a couple of times.  I don't know, it seems things get 
harder and harder and I don't know what I can do.  I just need to 
get away from it all for a while and it might give people time to 
think about things too, without the danger and excitement"

"Hmmm... That makes sense, what about Akane though?"

"What about her?"

"With you gone, what do you think will happen to her?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure how she feels about me, but I'm pretty 
sure she'll welcome the peace and quiet that will come after I leave.  
Besides it will give her time to think about us.  We almost got 
married if it wasn't for all the troublesome guests.  I'm sure the 
only reason that she decided to go through with it was because she 
was talked into it with the water of spring of drown man.  I know 
she considers me her friend but nothing more"

<Ranma, you can't be more wrong about that.  Akane loves you, don't 
you dare hurt her>

[Ranma, is that what you really think?]

[Of course, when I got some of the memory and powers back as the 
knight of the golden crystal, I began to think differently on certain 
things and this is one of the things that I got out of.  Akane doesn't 
love me]

<Ranma, how can you not see that the girl is in love with you?>

<Ranma...>

"Ranma, are you sure that's what it is?"

"Yeah, I'm sure.  Beside the time that we are going to be apart 
will give us some time to think about what we want to do and how we 
want to live and such"

Nabiki thought about it for a while, she wasn't sure if she should 
do it, but Mrs. Saotome was in on this and Ranma really seemed to 
want to do this.  Only thing was that Ranma thought that Akane didn't 
love him when it was clear, since they got back from China, that Akane 
was deeply in love with him.

"Ranma, you know this is going to cost you"

"I know that, and I think I can pay you for it too"


"What are you talking about.  I know for a fact that you don't have 
that much money"

"Well, I can ask mom and I'm sure she'll support me"

[Is that your great plan?  Ask mommy?]

[Shut up!]

"Ranma, you are going to ask your mom?  Would she view that as being 
manly?"

"Hey, leave that out of it.  She already said that I was man enough 
and that's that!"

<Looks like I hit a sensitive spot there>

[Ranma, why are you getting angry about that?]

[Because she is questioning my manhood.  I hate it, especially with 
this dammed curse!]

[RANMA!!!!!!]

"Owwww"

"What's wrong Ranma?"

"Nothing..."

[Hey!!!  I told you not to do that, it really hurts when you yell 
like that!]

[Ranma, I am that curse.  How could you say that?]

[Oh... I forgot, sorry]

[Beside I don't think you have anything to worry about with the curse.  
I'm not sure but I think you are cured]

[Really!!!!  Are you sure!!!]

Nabiki was watching Ranma with interest now.  Right after that 
exclamation, he became quiet.  However, it seemed like he was getting 
excited and happy for some reason.

<Maybe he is thinking about that Setsuna girl...>

"Ok Ranma, I'm intrigued, however, where will you go?  You know they 
will just track you down until they find you again.  You don't think 
they'll just give up when you just leave do you?  The Amazons came 
after you all the way from China and they haven't given up yet.  
Ukyou came after you and waited for you for 10 years, just you running 
away will not stop her"

"Hey!  I'm not running away, it's sort of like a training trip or 
a revised Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts Final attack, 
retreat and think and come back with better things"

"Hmmm... It's clear that you have put a lot of thoughts into this... 
I'm not sure... Ok, I guess I'll help you, but you better come back"

"Sure, I'll come back"

<After I'm done with everything>

"Now Ranma, I'll have to plan this through out the day since you 
seem to want leave as soon as possible.  You said your mother will 
have everything ready for you when you come back from school today 
correct?"

"Yeah"

"Than I'll need to know where you are going and where you will be 
staying"

"Huh?  Why?"

"Because I need a plan as how to get you there without people noticing 
and how to keep those people away from that area"

"Oh, well... I guess that makes sense"

[Ranko, that made sense to you right?]

[Yeah Ranma, I think you are safe with this one]

"So Ranma where are you planning on going?"

"Well, I talked with my mother and I think I'm going to go to Juuban 
district and attend their high school there"

"Hmmm... Why Juuban?"

"Why Juuban?  Well, I heard that Juuban district has just as much 
craziness there as here and just in case some craziness from my 
life follows me there, it won't look totally suspicious"

<Unbelievable, Ranma giving me multiple shocks in one day.  He really 
thought about this>

"That is actually a pretty good plan Ranma.  Where will you be 
staying?"

"I'm not sure yet.  Mom said we have a house there and I'll be staying 
there, but I'm not sure where that is, I didn't ask her"

<Hmm... either he doesn't want to tell me or he really doesn't know.  
I'm not sure which one it is, he has been full of surprises today>

"Fine, we can always find that out later.  We need to leave for school 
now, come talk to me after school and I'll have everything ready for 
you"

"Thanks Nabiki"

With that Ranma got up and left the room leaving Nabiki to get ready 
for school and think about what happened just now.

<Really interesting, Ranma is more than he seems.  He actually planned 
this out and he seems to show more intelligence than ever...  I wonder 
how much this has to do with that Setsuna person>

Nabiki deep in thought got ready for school and went out the door.

Outside...

[Ranma, do you trust her?]

[Huh?]

[Dope!  Do you trust her to keep your location secret!]

[Yeah, why not?]

[I don't believe this, this is Nabiki we are talking about.  She sells 
naked pictures of your female side, she sells erotic pictures of her 
own little sister.  She'll sell anything just to make a buck!]

[Hey, calm down.  I don't know why you are getting so mad about her.  
I mean, yeah sure she did all that, but the money goes to keep the 
place intact and put food on the table.  Beside, I don't care if she 
sells pictures of my girl side naked, she can post on the giant 
billboard for all I care.  It's not mine anymore, it's just a simple 
curse]

[RANMA!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!]

"OWWWWWWW"

[YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR YOU INSENSITIVE JERK!!!]

[STOP!!!  I told you it really hurts when you do that!]

[Well, you deserve it!]

[What did I do?  I don't understand you at all!]

[Ranma you moron, listen carefully because I'm going to say this 
just one more time]

[Ok sure whatever]

[Ranma, I am that curse, and that body that Nabiki has been selling 
naked pictures of is MINE!!!!!]

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

[Do you understand now?  I don't want all those people seeing me 
naked!]

[Oh, I forgot about that.  I guess that kind of sucks for you huh?]

[That's an understatement]

As Ranma and Ranko were having their private chat, Ranma made his 
way down to the breakfast table waited till everybody was there and 
started to eat as fast as he could without even paying much attention.

Genma seeing that his son was distracted tried to take food from 
his son.  Of course he had done this many times under the guise of 
training.  But in truth it was just him trying to eat more and fill 
his stomach trying to make it more justifiable.  

However, today wasn't his day, as he was reaching for the morsel 
of food that he targeted, his chopsticks vanished from his hand 
and he felt burning pain in his hand.

"Owwww"

Everybody stopped to look at Genma when he made that pained sound.  
When Genma realized that everybody was staring at him, he looked 
sheepish and asked for another chopsticks and started to eat again.

After another minute, Genma not having learned his lesson, being 
the naturally stubborn and stupid and selfish person that he is, 
he tried again and met with the same results but this time with 
more intense pain.

"OWWWWW"

Once again the family stopped to look at Genma who was just making 
himself look stupider by the minute.  Once again with a sheepish 
smile he started on his food again.

<I don't understand, how is the boy doing this?  I didn't see him 
move?  Well, if he thinks he can treat Genma Saotome that way, 
I'll just have to teach him a lesson that he can't>

Genma was now angry, he wanted Ranma's food and he wasn't getting 
any and he didn't like that.  How dare someone, even his own son, 
keep him from something that he wanted!
(People might complain that Genma is not really that kind of person, 
however I have proof that he is.  Look at the Manga where Nodoka 
finally realizes that Ranma is her son.  Genma to take Nodoka's 
family treasure away from her, for 2000 yen drink money, tries to 
steal it from her even attacks Nodoka and attacks Ranma.  If that's 
not proof enough ask me for more and I will give you more)

Genma now setting himself up for a final attack against Ranma, went 
to grab him and throw him into the pond and take all his food.  If he 
is not there, he can't do anything about it, now can he?

Genma went to grab Ranma when he felt intense pain flaring up his 
arm then his stomach, then his head and was flung to the pond himself.

When this happened, no one in the family cared at this point.  Most 
already knew that Genma was an idiot and that Genma wasn't someone 
who you should care much about so they all went as nothing happened.

Genma emerged from the pond hurt and angry, however he couldn't do 
anything for he was confused as well.  He didn't see Ranma move but 
Ranma had disabled him quickly enough that until he hit the water 
he didn't even know what was going on.

<I'll have to teach him to respect his father again and to give me 
his food when I want it!>

Genma started to plot revenge on his own son Ranma.
(Once again people might tell me that Genma is not that kind of 
person, email me and I will give you more than enough incidents 
where Genma is that kind of person)

While this was happening, Ranma was not even paying attention to Genma 
at all.  He was eating and chatting with Ranko in his head that he 
didn't even notice his body working of it's own accord to defend 
itself against the outside threat.

When Ranma was done, he got up and ready to leave for school which 
shocked Akane.  Ranma has always, when he was awake or he was here, 
walked her to school and back, but for some reason he was ready to 
leave for school without her.

<Ranma?>

Akane wanted to speak up and ask him to wait for her but she 
couldn't get her voice to work.  She thought it was rather strange 
that he was so quiet during breakfast and didn't even look at her 
once throughout the meal and now he was going to leave for school 
without her.

<Is he angry at me for what happened yesterday?  Is he...>

Akane was having all types of thoughts in her head and half of them 
had a name Setsuna in it.  The name she heard Ranma mutter the first 
thing he woke up.

<Fine, see if I care if he goes to school by himself or not, he can 
go and marry that girl for all I care!>

Akane repeated to herself in her head, watching Ranma very closely 
as he prepared to leave for school, not even turning around to look 
at her once.  As timed passed it became clear that he was intent on 
leaving without her, she became angry, sad, and desperate.  For some 
reason she had a feeling that when Ranma walked out that door today 
without her she might not see him again for a long time to come.

She was about to get up and go after him when Nabiki got up first 
and got to where Ranma was.  They talked for a while and after 
talking with Nabiki for a while, Ranma left the house with slight 
smile on his face.

<Nabiki?  Can't be, she can't be going after Ranma too can she?  
Why that pervert!!!  How dare he hit on my own sister right in 
front of me!>

With that Akane had a full steam of anger going and she got up 
and went after Ranma to school.

Later...

Akane was no longer angry, but getting really worried and now 
getting more desperate.  It became clear that Ranma was angry 
with her and was now avoiding her with all his efforts.

When she went after Ranma to get to school, she didn't see him 
the whole entire way there.  She at least expected to meet up 
with him along the way but she didn't see him at all.  When she 
got to the class he wasn't there either that got her worried, but 
just before the bell rang, he came through the window and took 
his usual seat.

She would steal glances at him through out the class.  First it 
was to glare at him, give him the evil eye to show him how angry 
with him she was and it would have worked too, if he looked back.

She continue to glance at him every chance she got but got nothing 
in return.  He wasn't even falling asleep and it seem like he was 
either thinking hard or actually paying attention to the class.

When the lunch bell rang, he just jumped out of the window without 
even word to her.  By this time she was worried and heavy feelings 
settled down on her heart, this feeling that something was wrong 
came over her.  Although she had the feeling, she still went to the 
spot where Ranma and her usually ate lunch, hoping that he would be 
there, but it was in vain as well.  When she got to the usual spot 
he was no where to be seen.

She looked around for him but couldn't find him at all.  She even 
went to ask her older sister Nabiki but even she didn't know where 
he was and that was something that didn't happen often.  That was 
when she finally realized that he was truly angry with her.  

He had never done this before, it was always her who made it clear 
that she was angry with him and did something like this.  However, 
the situation was reversed now and she knew how he must have felt.

Akane felt like crying but she couldn't.  Without having touched her 
lunch, she got back to the class when the class bell rang and saw 
Ranma in class already.  Even when she was coming in, he didn't even 
look her way, he acted as though he didn't care if she was there or not.

Akane promised herself that she would get Ranma alone and talk to 
him and find what why he is doing this and if he was mad try to make 
things better.  She waited for the class to be over so that she 
could go over to Ranma and talk to him.

When the end bell rang, Ranma went out the window, she called for 
him to wait but he acted like he didn't even hear her.  Akane was 
angry at first at being ignored, but that was for a short minute, 
she had better things to do, get home and talk to Ranma.  Find out 
what is going and hopefully get things better and then she can beat 
him up for putting her thought this.

Tendo Dojo...

Ranma was busy packing everything he would need at Juuban.  He 
didn't have much and packing wasn't all that big of a deal for him.  
He had the huge backpack where he can carry all his stuff and he 
also had the speed of the chestnut technique to pack things with.

Through out the day he thought about his current position and what 
he had to do.  He thought about it, he thought about it more and he 
thought about till he couldn't think about it anymore.  He was making 
plans in his head.  He decided to look at this as a battle and he 
started to draw battle plans in his head.

During this time, Ranko would occasionally say something to him but 
he didn't pay attention to her at all.  He needed to think and 
concentrate and he needed to do it without any red head talking to 
him.  

He found out that if he really got into his own thinking and 
concentration, that he can kind of block out Ranko.  It's not 
like he can completely ignore or block out Ranko, but it was more 
like he knew Ranko was saying something to him but he really didn't 
hear it, just knew that Ranko said something to him.

Ranma was done packing at no time, put his stuff on the roof just 
in case anybody saw the pack and starts to suspect something.

He was ready, all he had to do was wait till Nabiki gets home and 
talks to her and hears what she has to say and after that talk to 
his mother and find out where he will be living and where he will 
be going to school and such then he would be out of here.

Ranko was not a happy camper, somehow Ranma figured out a way to 
shut her out.  She tried to get to him that Akane was staring at him 
all day and she tried to tell him that Akane seems like she wanted 
to talk to him.  But no, he had to shut her out.  Ranko saw through 
Ranma that he was already done packing and was waiting for Nabiki 
in her room.  She half wished that Nabiki would charge him for being 
in her room without her permission.

Later...

Nabiki was a little worried about her little sister.  She had been 
looking for Ranma during lunch and even she didn't know where he was. 
 Nabiki saw the look in her eyes and she could tell that Akane knew 
something was wrong.

<Ranma if you don't come back when you are done, and if you hurt my 
sister I'm going to make you pay>

Nabiki went into her room and was surprised to find Ranma there.

"What!?"

"Hey Nabiki"

"Ranma, this better be good, what are you doing in my room?"

"Well, you told me to come meet you after school, so I am"

"Who told you that you can be in my room without my permission?"

"I don't know, it seemed like a good idea"

<Something is not right, Ranma is not acting like his usual self>

Indeed Ranma wasn't acting like his usual self at all.  Of course 
some of it had to do with the fact that he has gained some of the 
memory and knowledge of the Knight, and other had to do with the 
fact that Ranko was inside his head now, but mostly it had to do 
with the fact that Ranma was now looking at everything like it's a 
battle.  He will continue to look at it like that until he was safely 
away from Nerima.

"So, you have a plan ready Nabiki?"

"Well Ranma, I thought about it all during school and on the way 
over here and the best thing you can do is to leave and do nothing.  
I think you should leave a simple note saying that you will be back 
that you are just going away to settle a problem that your father made.  
That should get some problems off your back.  I will take care of 
the rest.  Oh, when you write a note, write two notes, one made out 
to the family and other one made out to me.  By doing this, we will 
be creating a diversion.  People will think that I know more than 
anybody else and that you confided in me.  This will get some heat 
off of you and they will come after me and I of course will provide 
them with information, with charge"

"Hmmm... that sounds ok, but what if they threaten you?"

"Threaten me?  Why of course they will, but that will never work 
and they know that.  They know who I am and how I work.  Threatening 
me will not get them what they want and they will have to play my 
way"

[Ranma, that sounds like it might actually work.  Nabiki is one 
smart cookie]

[Yeah, she is a smart one]

[Ranma, I was going to tell you something...]

That was as far as Ranko got.  She wanted to tell Ranma what 
happened with Akane but he cut her off again.

<I'm going to hurt him!>

"Well, when should I leave?  I have everything ready now.  My 
stuff is on the roof.  All I have to do is find mom and get the 
stuff I need"

"Well, you should do it soon, before dinner.  When you don't show 
up for dinner I will volunteer to come get you and I will happen to 
notice you gone and find the notes"

"That's good.  What should I write on the two notes?  I think I know 
what I should write on the note for the family but what should I write 
on the note for you?"

"Make it simple and mysterious.  Write bunch of times and dates, and 
also locations, places.  Nothing that will give off clues but 
mysterious enough for people to get suspicious"

"Ok, thanks.  I'll get on that right away.  If I'm going to leave 
before dinner, I'll have to do it soon"

"Ranma, I think you should leave now, but hang out till night time 
before going to see your mother.  People won't be expecting it, they 
will be too busy going around looking for you to come here again.  I 
will have your mom here with me.  Got it?"

"Got it"

Ranma was about to leave through the window again when Nabiki grabbed a
hold of his arm.

"Ranma, remember, you promised to come back"

"I know, I'll be back sometime"

"Good, you can go"

With that Nabiki let Ranma go and Ranma proceeded to leave through 
the window.

When Ranma was out the window, Nabiki stared at the spot for a while.

"Ranma, please don't hurt Akane, you have to come back"

Outside on the roof...

"Well, I better get started on that note.  Hmmm... seems like Ranko 
want's to say something"

[RANMA!!!!!!!]

"OWWWW!"

[Ranma!!! How dare your ignore me for so long!!!!]

[What are you talking about?  I talked to you when I was making a 
deal with Nabiki remember?]

[That doesn't count.  That was so little.  I know you know that I 
was trying to talk to you all day and you ignored me.  HOW DARE 
YOU!!!]

[OWWW, calm down ok?  I needed time to think and concentrate that's 
all]

[Don't do it again!]

[Ok, I heard you.  So you going to help me with the note that I'm 
going to write to the family?]

[I'm not sure if I should Ranma.  You ignored me and now you need 
my help?]

[Come on, I told you I won't do it again.  Beside, I'm not good 
with this writing stuff]

[Ok, fine.  What are we going to write about]

[Well, Nabiki said to make it simple so, here we go]

Ranma got pen and paper and wrote something which made Ranko want 
to yell at him for being so stupid.

[Ranma, I can't believe you think that's enough!]

On the note, which was a very short note, all it said was 'I'm 
leaving, I'll be back.  Ranma'

[Isn't that enough?  Nabiki said to make it simple]

[Listen Ranma, I don't think she meant that simple.  I'll tell you 
what to write and you write it ok?]

[Sure]

Little later the note was done, but it wasn't smooth sailing, because 
there were a few disagreements between Ranma and Ranko in what to 
write.  It seems that Ranko wanted to include on the note about 
Ranma's love to Akane and Ranma didn't want anything like that in 
the note.  

However, the note was done and the second note was easier to finish.  
It was for Nabiki and it wasn't all that hard to write.  They wrote 
down, bunch of dates and times and a few places that they know and 
some they don't know.

[Well, it's done, I'm going to drop this in my room and I'm going 
to leave]

[You know, I'm going to miss this place Ranma]

[Yeah, me too.  This was first place that I could call home and I 
am going to miss this place and everybody]

[Well, there is no time, let's get this over with Ranma]

[Ok]

With that Ranma went into his room, dropped both of the notes on 
the table and left the Tendo house to go to somewhere where he can 
hide out till evening when he can come back and meet with his mother.

Inside the house...

Kasumi was done preparing the dinner and was ready to serve.

"Dinners ready everyone"

When she said it, people started to come into the living room to 
eat the delicious dinner that Kasumi made.  When everyone was settled 
down, it was clear that one person was missing from the table.

Akane looked at the empty spot by her side that was usually where 
Ranma sat.  She waited for dinner so that she can talk with Ranma 
or at least let him know that she wanted to talk to him later.  
After all Ranma never missed dinner and never when it was Kasumi 
who was cooking.

<I wonder where he is.  He must be really mad at me>

Akane really couldn't understand what Ranma could be so mad at her 
about.  She hasn't done anything that she hadn't done before.  Ranma 
never got mad like this before.

"Oh my, it looks like Ranma isn't coming down to dinner, Akane will 
you go get him?"

"I'll do it sis"

Nabiki volunteered for Akane.  This action caused everybody to look 
up.  Nabiki was actually volunteering to get Ranma without anybody 
having to mention payment for the service.

"What's everybody looking at!?"

"Nabiki are you feeling all right?"

"Yes daughter, are you feeling sick?"

"What are you all talking about?"

Nabiki was not too happy with her family's reaction.  She knew what 
everybody thought of her, but to see this kind of reaction wasn't 
very good.

"Nabiki, if you are having some kind of problem or if you feel sick 
you should tell us"

"I'm ok, all I said was I'll go get Ranma ok!"

With that Nabiki made her way up stairs.  All Akane could do was 
stare at Nabiki as she was leaving.  As she was watching, an unpleasant 
feeling came to her.

<She can't like Ranma can she?>

Akane remember this morning Nabiki and Ranma talked a little before 
he left for school.  And now Nabiki was volunteering to go get Ranma 
for dinner.

<No, she's my sister, she'll never do anything like that>

Akane shook herself and beat the thought down when Nabiki came down 
with shocked expression on her face with a paper in her hand.

"Nabiki isn't Ranma coming down?"

Asks Kasumi who didn't see Nabiki's face expression.  However when 
she looked up from serving dinner, she saw that something wasn't 
right.  Matter of fact everyone at the dinner could tell something 
was wrong.

Akane got the most horrible feeling in her heart and she didn't 
like it.  She stared at the paper that Nabiki held and she could feel 
that she wasn't going to like that paper one bit.

"Nabiki where's Ranma?"

"Where is that worthless son of mine?"

Nabiki wordlessly handed the paper to Akane who took it with shaking 
hand.  When she took it the family gathered behind her to look at 
the note with her.

	Dear Tendos

First I would like to say not to worry about a thing.  I know this 
looks bad, but its not like I'm going to be away forever.  I'm 
leaving because there is a problem that my pop started somewhere 
that needs solving.  I always knew that my pop was selfish and 
worthless but this time he has gone over the line and I have to fix 
this.  So don't worry about me and I promise that I'll be back when 
I can.  Thanks a bunch.

							Ranma Saotome.

When they finished reading the note, the family reacted the way 
people might expect them to.  Soun burst out saying something like 
the son-in-law ran away or such.

Kasumi just looked at the note and looked at Akane making sure that 
she wasn't too broken down by the note.

Genma was looking at the note and trying to think of what he did, 
but he really couldn't think of any but decided to hide for now as 
seeing that it might not be safe for him seeing that his son wasn't 
here to pass the blame onto.

Nodoka who was over for the dinner was looking at the note with 
unreadable expression on her face.

Akane was looking at the note with disbelieving expression on her 
face.  She started to stare at the note, hoping that it will go 
away if she stared at it long enough.  She started to think and she 
ended up with the conclusion that Ranma left because of her and that 
Ranma left because he was angry with her.

This caused her to see another time when she thought that someone 
left because she was a bad girl.  When her mother died she didn't 
really understand why she left and that she couldn't see her again.  
It took a long time for her to get over it and now it was happening 
again.

Akane's emotion could not handle this and she broke out in a silent 
weeping that was different from Soun's but carried much more emotional 
message than his.

When Akane started to cry which seem like with her whole body, 
Nabiki almost broke down and told her that this was pre-planned 
and where to find Ranma.  However, she didn't, because this just 
proved that Akane loved Ranma and hopefully when Ranma comes back 
he would have learned that he loves Akane as well.

<Ranma you better come back, you are already hurting my little 
sister!>

With that Nabiki and Kasumi went to Akane to comfort her and 
Nabiki to carry out second part of the plan.

As Nabiki and Kasumi was taking Akane up to her room to get her 
more comfortable, Nabiki dropped the note that was meant for herself 
and she made sure that Akane and Kasumi saw this.

"Nabiki, what is that?"

"Oh this, it's nothing"

However, when Akane saw this, she recognized Ranma's handwriting.  
She'll recognize his handwriting anywhere.  No one had quite so 
distinctive handwriting.

<That's Ranma's handwriting.  Nabiki has a private note from Ranma!  
Can't be!  Ranma and Nabiki?>

"Nabiki, let me see it"

Akane said it in a low tone that actually surprised Nabiki.  
Nabiki thought that Akane might shout at her to let her see it but 
Akane was being very quiet.  This cased her some concern.

"Akane, it's nothing and it's private"

"Nabiki, let me see it"

Akane repeated in that same tone which made Nabiki feel more 
uncomfortable.  Nabiki was about to protest again for good measure 
when Akane just lashed out and took the note.  She moved so fast 
that Nabiki didn't have time to move.  

Akane moved with the speed that was borne from depression and 
desperation.

<Ranma and Nabiki... I can't believe it, they can't be getting 
together.  This is not some private love note from Ranma to Nabiki.>

Akane was repeating it over and over again in her head as she 
opened the note and took in what was on the note.  First she couldn't 
make sense of it, there were bunch of numbers and places on it.  
Than she got it. 

<This is the time and places which Ranma will be visiting.  Why 
would Ranma give this to Nabiki?  Unless, unless Ranma wants her 
to visit him!>

Akane came to completely wrong conclusion which to her and her 
state of mind seem like the only logical one.

"NABIKI!!  How could you?  You are trying to taking Ranma from me!"

"Oh my!"

"What!?!?"

<Where did she get that idea from?>

Nabiki was expected Akane to react somewhat violently but she 
didn't expect Akane to react this way and jump to that conclusion.  
This caused her to be caught unexpected when Akane charged at her 
with her mallet in her hand.

"BOOM"

Akane connected with Nabiki which caused her to drop like a sack 
of potatoes.  Nabiki had no where the endurance or the resistance 
of Ranma and one shot by Akane and her mallet was very devastating 
to her.

"Oh my"

After connecting with her sister, Akane dropped the mallet and 
ran up the stairs to her room where she could cry herself out 
thinking about Ranma and how to get him back.

Little later...

"owww... what hit me?"

Nabiki woke up to the faces of her family.  Everyone of them was 
there looking down at her with different expressions on their faces. 

She saw that Akane had a look of anger and determination.

Kasumi had worried look in her eyes.

Soun was crying, and Genma looked, well Genma looked stupid like 
how he looks always.

Nabiki could not read Nodoka's expression but she knew that Nodoka 
was thinking something behind that mask of hers.

<Her mask is better than mine>

"Daughter, is it true that you and Ranma were planning on running 
away together to get married?"

"What!"

"Nabiki you shouldn't have done that, he was after all your sister's 
fiancee.  You should have told us"

"What!!"

"Nabiki I can't believe you!!  How could you!!  You probably talked 
him into it with your blackmailing ways!!"

"What!!!"

Nabiki was getting angry but she knew that the situation was quickly 
getting out of hand.  Her family, even Kasumi, was accusing her of 
stealing Ranma away from Akane.

<This is not what I had in mind>

She was looking for a way to get things back in track when Nodoka 
spoke up.

"Now, calm down everyone, I'm sure that Nabiki has a perfectly good 
explanation for all of this"

When she said it, some looked like they wanted to argue and go on, 
but two were convinced by the katana that Nodoka was holding and one 
was just a naturally non-aggressive type, and the other saw that 
everybody was backing down, backed down herself.

"Ok, now that everybody is calm.  Nabiki dear, would you mind 
explaining to us why my son left you a personal note that has what 
seems like information on where he will be heading?"

Nabiki looked at Nodoka trying to read her, but she really couldn't 
get anything out of the older woman.  

<This is impossible.  I guess I should stick to the plan.  Ranma you 
owe me for this, you owe me a lot and I'm going to make sure you pay>

"Well, Mrs. Saotome, this all happened few days before.  Ranma came 
to me asking for help"

"Why would Ranma go to you for help Nabiki?  He knows well how you 
are a mercenary bitch!"

Nabiki couldn't help but be hurt by that comment by Akane.  She knew 
that Akane was hurting and that she was lashing out at a target 
which happened to be her, but those words still hurt.

"Ranma needed my help and he knew that I was the only one who 
could give it to him"

Akane looked like she wanted to say more, but Nodoka stopped her 
by putting gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Go on"

"Ranma came to me, and we talked.  He said that he was getting 
tired and he was about to go crazy because of all the craziness 
that surrounds and follows him around and this last problem that 
Mr. Saotome created for him was the last straw"

That earned Genma a glare from most people in the room, even from 
Kasumi.

Nabiki knew that she had most people convinced.  She was a good 
actor and she never lied, just told selective truth.  However,
she could see that Akane would need convincing and she couldn't 
get anything out of Nodoka, but that was ok.  She knew that Nodoka 
was in on this plan with Ranma.

"Well, he had no idea what to do, just that he needed to get away 
>from the craziness for a while and solve this problem before it 
got any bigger.  That gave me an idea as what he needed to do.  
I gave him some instructions as what to do.  He left town to take 
care of this problem and clear his head and settle down.  He will 
be back, this paper and what's on it is just some schedules and 
places he will be while away so I can keep track of him.  That's all"

When she finished both Soun and Genma started to smile, Kasumi had 
an understanding look on her face, but Akane still looked angry.

"So, are you telling me that you helped Ranma leave?"

Akane said it with anger in her voice, and Nabiki was pretty sure 
that if Mrs. Saotome wasn't here, Akane would most likely have 
inflected as much pain as she could on her.

"Well, Ranma did pay me well and he did promise to come back"

"Oh my, but you know where he is headed don't you Nabiki?"

"Yes Kasumi, I do have an idea where Ranma is headed"

"Well, that's it then.  First thing tomorrow, we are going after 
him"

Akane stated with such authority and determination that Nabiki 
thought no one will disagree with her.

"I don't think so Akane dear.  If my son wants to think things 
through and clear his head, I think we should give him a couple of 
days to himself to do just that"

Nabiki wasn't really surprised that Mrs. Saotome jumped in, but she 
was surprised to actually see Akane disagree with her.

"No, no Mrs. Saotome, we have to go get him.  I have to tell him 
something and I might be able to help him with this problem"

"No Akane, this is something that my son has to do by himself and 
we should let him.  You heard Nabiki, he will come back he promised.  
Don't you believe in him?"

That shut Akane up.  She looked like she wanted to say more, but 
when the issue of trust came up and because it was in front of the 
mother of her fiancee, she couldn't disagree with her.

"Now, we will just with a couple of days until Ranma is done with 
his problem and clear his head and come back to us"

With that Nodoka finished and went out of the living room where 
everyone was.

Nabiki really had to handed to Mrs. Saotome.  She knew perfectly 
well that Ranma won't be coming back in 'couple of days'.  She is 
the one who made the transfer and also is providing him with place 
to live in Juuban. 

<This woman in good, she is incredible>

Nabiki knew that it would be a very bad idea to get in Nodoka's bad 
side and vowed never to do that.

<Well, all that is left is for Ranma to come back tonight and get 
all the information from Mrs. Saotome and he can be on his way to 
Juuban.  Of course my part is still not done.  I'll have to deal 
with other fiancees and once he doesn't come back for a while, I'll 
have to deal with the family again.  Ranma you owe be big, and I 
mean BIG>

With that thought, Nabiki walked out of the living room to go to her 
room to think.

Later...

[Ranma, are you sure people won't notice you coming back?  I mean 
they could be staying up or something you know]

[Don't worry about it Ranko.  When I got some of my memory and 
powers back, I got some extra sensor things.  I can feel that all 
the Tendos are in their rooms and pop is in deeeeeeeep slumber.  I 
can also feel that mom is in the dojo]

It was well into the night and Ranma was coming back in order to 
meet up with his mother so that he can find out where he will be 
staying and where he will be going to school.

He was lucky because Akane had just fallen asleep.  She half cried 
herself to sleep thinking about Ranma.  Even after Nabiki and Mrs. 
Saotome said that Ranma will be back soon, she just had this feeling 
that Ranma won't be back for a long time.

Ranma quietly made his way inside the dojo where his mother waited 
for him.

"Mom?"

"Here son.  You caused a quite a stir tonight with those notes"

"Oh"

"I take it that it was Nabiki's idea to leave her a note?"

"Yeah, it was her idea to do it.  I don't know, it seem like a good 
Idea at the time"

"Don't worry son, I believe it was a good idea, however, it most 
likely will put Nabiki in somewhat of a danger and she might not be 
able to put up with the act for a long time.  You should expect people 
to come for you"

"I guess mom"

"Ranma, my son, here is what you need in order to get to Juuban and 
find the place to live and go to school"

With that Nodoka handed him an envelope that contained the address of 
the place that he will be staying, and also the address and name of 
the care taker of the place.  It also held the transfer papers and the 
address of the school which Ranma will be attending from now on.

"Thanks mom"

Ranma took the envelope and he just stood there for a while.

"Well son, you better get going"

"I know, I'll be back you know"

"Of course son"

With that Nodoka turned around to hide the tears from her son.  It 
won't do good for her son to see her cry.  It wasn't as if he was going 
away on another ten year training trip.  However, Nodoka just couldn't 
shake the feeling that her son had just grown another ten years, she 
also had a feeling that she will once again miss out on a major part 
of her son's life.

Ranma wanted to do something, he wanted to go over to his mother and 
give her a hug or some other comforting move.  However, he didn't 
know what to do, and he didn't know if she would think if it's manly 
of him or not.  He just stood there for a while, and finally turned 
and left.

[Ranma, you should have given her a hug or something]

[I know, but I didn't know how she would have reacted]

[She did look really sad...]

[I know.]

Nodoka, who had her back turned to her son, knew that he left.  It 
wasn't that she felt him leave, but she knew instinctively part of 
her has left with him.  

"Good bye son, and good luck"

End of Chapter 3

Next Chapter...

Ranma transfers to Juuban high school.  The girls from Juuban high 
school are introduced to Ranma Saotome and Ranma is introduced to 
the girls of Juuban high school.  How will the girls react to the 
handsome martial artist?  Would they leave the idol threelights in 
favor of Ranma or would they leave Ranma alone in favor of the idol 
threelights?  Things in Nerima hit the fan.


Authors note.

I'm sorry, I know that I said that this chapter will have Ranma 
going to Juuban high and that he will meet the girls of Juuban area.  
However, I felt that going right to that part will skip lot of ground 
and decided to write this part first then move on to the Juuban high.  
If anybody is disappointed by it, I'm sorry, but the next chapter 
should come out pretty early.

I would like to thank all my pre-readers.  Thank you for corrections 
and also comments.

This one people might be confused as what's going on.  Well, what's 
going on is that I decided to make Ranma some kind of super knight 
>from back in the silver millennium.  I also made him the Royal Knight
of the Golden Crystal.  I really couldn't think of a really cool title 
so I decided on that one.  I read that in the manga that Mamoru has 
the golden crystal, but I'm going with the Anime so he doesn't but I 
gave it to Ranma so I guess that makes up for it.

I decided to write a SailorMoon and Ranma crossover fic.  I've read 
lot of Ranma fic and because I've read almost all the Ranma fic out 
there I came across lot of Ranma and SailorMoon crossover.  There were 
some good ones and there were some bad ones.  After reading many fics, 
and also watching the end of SailorMoon Stars I decided to write a fic 
about Ranma1/2 SailorMoon.  I thought it would be interesting so I 
started to think how I was going to go about it and this is it.

Please give comments and advice as to make the fic better.
