"Cuuuute," said Usagi, gushed over the wolf puppies that she found after hearing a whimper amongst some tall plants.
Minako nodded, picking one up to hold it up in the air. "They're so darling!"
"I know, I know!"
"Looks like they're all alone...."
"Poor little guys...." the reincarnated princess murmured, hugging a cub to her chest, and giggling as it licked her face. "Can we keep them? Please?"
Ami gave a guilty frown. "You know, that might be..."
"Perfectly fine," Ranma put in as he knelt by the fallen wolves.
"Just... huh?"
"These guys are all alone, and we need company, which is great. But they also can do plenty of other stuff. I've seen dogs that've managed ta do plenty of jobs, and these guys can do the same. Once they get older, I'm sure that they can be a big help. 'Sides, they'd die if we left 'em behind."
"How do you think it happened?" Rei asked quietly.
"By the tracks, whatever it was had ta be really big. My guess is that somethin' accidentally wandered over here, maybe a couple of 'em, and the adults tried to defend their babies. They weren't ready, the other animal was probably panicking, and this happened."
Haruka pressed her lips together. "Not that things are all that nice even when things are okay."
"Exactly. But I'm pretty sure that this ain't a good place ta leave 'em. 'Specially now."
"Why not?"
"Because of those guys," he said, jerking his thumb at something that was off to his side.
The girls turned and saw a group of familiarly shaped figures moving nearby. Each of them stared and blinked at the sight of these individuals, and they knew what this meant to them.
"Oh my goodness gracious," said Ami as she saw the primitively clad figures.
Setsuna raised a brow. "Apparently the natives have come out to meet us."
"That'd mean that they'd have to know that we were here. They might have accidentally come," Makoto commented.
"All too true. Unfortunately, I don't speak early human."
"Maybe we can figure out things by how they act," Michiru suggested.
Rei smirked at her words. "Well, we can tell that one of them is an idiot. Look at how that tall one is acting."
"Kuno," Ranma said simply, as he straightened up.
"Huh?"
"That one looks a lot like a guy that I know from my high school. He's an idiot there too. Yup, and he's tryin' ta act like he's the top guy, even though no one else thinks he is."
"Hey, and that one girl looks like Ami," Minako teased, holding 'her' wolf cub against her shoulder. "Only need to change the eyes."
"'Xcept that she looks like Akane."
"Someone else that you know?"
"Girl back home. And... yes, she's just as violent."
"It could be the times," Haruka commented. "Though.... I think that I've seen one of those guys at one of my races before."
"Reincarnation," the Senshi of Time told them.
"What?"
"Well, when a person dies, his or her spirit goes on to their next life, whatever that might be. And in this case, it looks like these are probably one of the first lives that they have had, at least as some sort of humans."
"Trust me, some never get past this stage."
The pigtailed boy nodded. "Looking at this, I can tell that if these are their past lives, then that moron really has been botherin' her all the time."
"Then the question is what do we do now?" Makoto asked, stating the obvious, and knowing that it had to be done, while:
