AN1: It's all new starting in this chapter!

AN2: If you wish to know what's taken me so long to post anything, please see my author's profile.

AN3: I had gotten a request to change this stories title, due to it sharing the name of another Ranma fic. Well I must say thanks to the guy who asked me that, for he did lead me to a great, if unfinished, piece of work, but really, no. For why? Why should I change this stories title? It's not like I went out to copy that stories title, it's more like we both went and added an s to the first word in the tile when we both copied the title of a Sci-Fi masterpiece. But I'm only making an educated guess about the other author's reasoning though.

STRANGERS IN A STRANGE LAND

CHAPTER TWO

THE FIRST DAY IN A NEW WORLD

The Outers' mansion: Early the next morning

Kasumi must have woken up before me, like usual, for she just had awoken me by playfully tickling me. As I laughed myself awake, Kasumi said "Get up Ranma, you start your new school today. And remember your cover story."

As I got my breath back from all my laughing, I said "That was a weird way to wake up, but it was probably the best way anyone's ever woken me up."

Kasumi frowned after I said that, and then she said "Well get up and get dressed fast, or you'll miss breakfast."

I was out of the bed Haruka had shown me to last night and in the shower in the bathroom down the hall within seconds of hearing her saying that. It wasn't until I was actually scrubbing myself clean in the shower that I started to wonder what I had said to make Kasumi frown like that.

Deciding after a moment that I didn't have enough information to form an accurate guess on the matter, I just concentrated on the getting myself clean, and the sensations that went with it. It was still a novelty for me to clean myself as a girl in hot water, and the differences between the feelings while doing this between my male and female side were noticeable. I was still cataloging them for my own private records.

After my quick shower, I went back to my room and found that someone had left a school girl's uniform on my bed with a set of bra and panties that looked to be roughly my size, and a set of girl's gym clothes were laid out next to that.

Picking up the undergarments and sighing with distaste, not because I didn't want to wear them for being girl's undergarments, but because they were way too, frilly, for my tastes, I sighed and put them on, and then I put on the uniform. I then put the gym shorts on underneath the skirt. I had learned that lesson early on. With my active ways, it was a very, very good idea.

I then went down the stairs to the kitchen and to breakfast.

The Outers' mansion: the kitchen: moments later

Breakfast was an odd affair, for me at least. For I was not used to having such a nice and calm meal.

"Well I guess I'll be taking you to your school Ranma." Setsuna said suddenly as she sipped some tea.

"Huh? Don't Michiru and Haruka go to the same school as me? Can't I walk with them?" I asked confused.

"Yes they go to your school, although they're a few years ahead of you. But no, you can't go with them because we're not all that close to the school, so we drive there." Setsuna started. "Haruka drives both herself and Michiru there, and on there way there they drop Hotaru off at her school, but Haruka drives a sports car with a rather small backseat, so I'm going to be driving you two." She said pointing a fork a Kasumi and myself before spearing it into a melon. "I'll drop you off at the station so you can get to Tokyo University Kasumi, and then Ranma and I will head for Juban High. I'll take you to my office there and get you fully registered myself." She finished, and then she took a bite of her melon.

"Wait, your office?" I asked curiously.

"Yes. I work at Juban High as a guidance consoler, didn't I tell you two that?" She asked with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"No, I don't think you did." Kasumi replied.

"Oh." Setsuna said with a frown. "I could have sworn I did. Oh well. I do, so I'll get you initiated into the school's system myself Ranma." Setsuna then told me.

"Oh, ok." I told her.

"I'll also be your ride home, although you may occasionally need to wait a bit on me. Teachers and staff do have more work then the students you know." Setsuna said with a slight smirk. "Although I do usually get out of there about a half hour after the school gets out. I'll be picking you up at around four to four thirty Kasumi, so please, try to schedule your trip back around that." Setsuna told Kasumi.

"I understand." Kasumi said with a nod.

"Good. Oh, and tonight, we'll do a quick shopping excursion, just to get you enough clothes to last until Sunday. We'll do a full blown shopping trip then." Setsuna told us.

As I groaned and darkly muttered "Shopping, eugh." Setsuna and Michiru laughed lightly and Haruka looked at me with sympathy. Michiru must have seen that look, for she then said

"And we're going with them on Sunday Haruka."

As Haruka's face fell, I then looked at her with sympathy. Hotaru then giggled and said "Might I suggest we leave now? If we want to be on time that is?"

Setsuna and Haruka both looked at the clock on the kitchen's wall and Haruka said "She's right. It's a little past time to leave actually."

"True." Setsuna said. "I have a school bag with the necessary supplies for the both of you by the door, next to my briefcase. Well, let's get going."

And away we went.

Juban High: Setsuna's office: about seven forty five in the morning

Registration was a simple affair, especially considering it was Setsuna that was doing it for me. I hardly needed to do or say a thing. I just let her have her wicked way with her computer and my records. My falsified records that is.

At about quarter of eight Setsuna told me that she was done and then she had taken me to my classroom to meet with my teacher. Setsuna introduced her as a Miss. Akou, and she immediately asked of Setsuna "Oh, is this your niece that you told me about?"

"Yes, this is my niece Ranma." Setsuna told her.

Miss Akou then immediately gushed out "Oh, you poor dear! To be stolen from your family by an outcast!"

I then stopped her before she could gush out anything more in 'sympathy' for me. "My father was regrettably killed in the attempt to get me back, so I doubt I'll ever be kidnapped again. And besides, he spent over a decade teaching me to defend myself and others. I am quite possibly one of the best martial artist in the world at this moment, and I aim to be the best to ever live. So I sincerely doubt that I will ever be taken like that again." I told her coldly.

Miss Akou then blinked and before she could say anything to doubt me, Setsuna told her with a sigh "Unfortunately, or maybe that's fortunately, she's telling the truth. That man spent all his and her time training her in martial arts. It's sadly just about all she knows. He literally has turned her into a living weapon." Setsuna said with a dramatic sigh. "I would ask that you carefully watch out for my niece, for, well…, she's new to all this social interaction and the school setting. I'd hate to see someone hurt by accident." Setsuna said with sorrow in her voice. Man, she was GOOD.

"I see." Miss Akou said with a blink of her eyes. "Well deary, you have all your school supplies, and books and stuff, right?" She asked of me. I nodded in response. "Then take that seat right there in front of my desk, and I'll help you out if you need it. Your aunt needs to be getting back to her office, and it is two minutes until class starts."

And with that, Setsuna said her goodbyes and left while I sat down in the chosen chair.

Juban High: the principle's office: about one forty in the afternoon

I was in the principle's office and my future fate was being decided by the people there, which included the principle, the chief of police some unknown politicians and some of the press.

"Why me?" I mouthed to the heavens. Setsuna was sitting beside me and looked at me with a look of true exasperation etched onto her face.

"Well, you just had to kill that Youma." She whispered to me.

"Well, yeah! It almost had killed those kids!" I harshly whispered back.

"Still, maybe you should have waited for the Sailor Senshi to come and deal with it?" She harshly whispered at me.

Getting her true meaning, I even more harshly whispered back at her "There was no time to wait for the Sailor Senshi! That thing was about to snap that boys neck!" I yelled out in a whisper.

Setsuna then sighed and told me "True. But, did you have to use such a huge Ki blast?" She then asked with an even bigger sigh.

"Well, when you use Ki blasts on the suckers, you have to disintegrate them in one shot, or they just heal all the damage done to them. I learned that last night!" I whispered back at her.

She just sighed again and said "Well, what's done is done I guess. Let's just not make things even worse now, ok?"

I just nodded and said "Well, we can always try."

I then started watching the assembled group as they yelled and screamed over what I had done. I mean was it really that big a deal?

You see, at lunch time I was in the bathroom doing my business when I heard all this yelling and screaming going on outside as I was washing my hands. So I immediately rush out of the bathroom and see this Youma down the hall attacking some kids from the AV club. So I yell out 'HEY UGLY!!' and it turns around with this boy's neck in its grip, and when it saw me, it grinned evilly and started to twist its grip. I had no time to do anything other throw some vacuum blades at its arms. I couldn't blast the thing at that time, cause of the kid in its arms. After the kid dropped I yelled "Get clear!" and he did so, as did the other club member behind the beast that were trapped in the club's meeting room behind it, and I then sent out a silent Kamahamaha Wave at the monster as it charged me. I did it silently because, hey, I didn't want to be asked some stupid questions like 'Are you really a Saiyan?' Or other stupid shit like that. Really, I had like two kids see me prefect the move without my noticing it, and they asked me that very same question. I think I broke their little hearts when I told them no.

Anyway's, a lot of the student's and faculty had seen me blast that Youma into smithereens, and one of the guys in the AV club had even taped it. And when the press arrived, he sold the tape to a local station.

That kid just got on my bad side, I'll tell you that.

And now, now everyone was whining about my blasting a Youma to pieces. Man, you think they don't see this kind of thing daily. Wait, they do, only it's 'The Sailor Senshi' who do it, not some so called 'Normal Girl.'

Now they're wondering just what, not who, what, I am.

My life sucks.

And now it looks like it's going to get even worse, for they're all coming over to talk with me now.

Oh, joy.

EAN1: And here, the evil bastard I am, leave you.

EAN2: I said this was going to feature a slightly Super Ranma, didn't I? And that means that while untransformed, Ranma can take out the weakest of Youma if she goes all out, by disintegrating them in one shot. Anything less and they heal up really fast, ready for more. And against stronger Youma, even that won't work. But wait until you all see Sailor Sol in action. Hehehehehahaha. Ok, enough with the evil laughter, I'm done.
