Shampoo stood in the park. When she turned around she saw a figure walking
towards her. As the figure became closer, it became easier to distinguish who it
was.

"Ranma?" Shampoo almost whispered. Ranma looked directly at her and
smiled. Shampoo became overjoyed and began running up to him, ready to glomp into
him when another figure could be seen behind him. The figure moved forward and
stood next to Ranma. Ranma took hold of the figures hands.

"Ranma," Shampoo demanded, "What you do with violent girl?!" Ranma didn't
say anything. Instead he looked over to Akane and held her close. He pressed his
lips against her forehead and smiled. Then he whispered something in Akane's ear.
Akane giggled a bit. Shampoo stood confused, not sure what had just happened
between the two. Then Ranma looked at Shampoo again. His mouth moved, but no words
came out. He stopped, and then started moving his mouth again. There was a moment
of silence.

"I... I'm in love with you... Akane...Akane...Akane......"

Shampoo let out a scream as she bolted up from her bed. Sweat dripped from
her temples as she let out short breaths. <Just a dream, but... Something not
right...> She stood up from the bed and began her trip to the Tendo's.

From another room, another person had arisen and packed with its hopping
stick and elder knowledge, she followed her grand daughter.
--------------
"Ranma, what are you..." Ranma slowly neared Akane. His eyes were fixed on
her and only her. It wouldn't have mattered if 2000 pounds of rocks had fallen on
him, because nothing could fall as hard as his heart had fell for Akane.

"Akane... I'm in love... with you..." Ranma closed his eyes as the gap
between him and Akane came to nothing. There lips met. Akane's eyes widened as her
face began to burn with redness. Akane was shocked. She did not move to stop him,
or encourage him, she just stopped.

At that moment, the wall cracked through. A slim Chinese figure stood at
one end starring at the couple. She stopped in her tracks. Akane ... and
Ranma...were...kissing... Akane and Ranma...were kissing... AKANE & RANMA WERE
KISSING! In uncontrolled furry Shampoo launched random attacks to the two. Ranma
reluctantly released his hold on Akane and faced Shampoo.

"Why! Why you go with her! Why you not with Shampoo!" Other words were
sputtered from her lips, but they were no longer understandable. Again she
attacked. She launched a blizzard of attacks at the two. Ranma, while having Akane
in a protective hold fought off Shampoo's attacks. Left, Right, Up, side. Attacks
came from all directions, fueled by her rage. Shampoo jumped and attempted an
aerial attack; only to have Ranma avoid it by jumping over to the side, still hold
Akane protectively. She swiftly moved towards Akane and started a sidekick. Ranma
spun and countered. His foot swept across the floor. Shampoo fell.

She sat on the floor, not moving from where she had landed after being
hit. She looked up at Ranma, teary eyed. She lost. No matter how many attacks she
may send, she knew... that she had lost. She walked over to Ranma, and slapped
him. Ranma stood unmoved, only concerned with Akane's safety. She turned around
and walked out, not even noticing that the figure that had followed her there had
been holding something in her hands. The figure followed Shampoo as she destroyed
her path back home.

Ranma and Akane stood gapping at the wrath of destruction left by Shampoo.
Akane stiffened as she had realized the situation. She backed out of Ranma's
grasp.

"I... I have to go to bed." the words were rushed as Akane scurried to her
room.

>Slam< The door quickly shut. Akane's hand lay upon her heaving chest. She
lifted her arm and began to rub at her lips with her clenched fists. <Dirty... I
feel so dirty> After nearly rubbing her lips off she stopped. Her knees quavered
at her weight, then gave away. She feel to her knees and her eyes filled. She
tried to flutter the liquid away, but it just kept pouring down. The wind flew
down the streets as the rain shattered the silence. >Pitter Patter< The rain fell
hard and came down shamelessly.
----------------
The rain fell down on Shampoo, cursing her, taunting her. Her feet dragged
feet down the street. Her mind raged with emotions, thoughts, but mostly revenge.
A figure again moved close to Shampoo. Shampoo turned and hissed at the figure
until she realized who it was. She turned around and continued walking.

"Shampoo. You are an Amazon woman. You should not be sulking like that."
Shampoo said nothing. The woman continued. "I know, I saw... But you know who you
are, and you know your place. Besides, I think I have something that may interest
you." Shampoo turned towards the woman. The woman held up a bracelet. Shampoo's
eyes widened in shock.

<That is special heirloom...> The woman nodded her head.

"Let's go home." The old woman picked up the cat and hopped off.

When the 2 got into the restaurant it was about 9:30. Cologne began to
boil some water. Then it was hot enough, it was poured onto the cat, transforming
her into a beautiful young woman. She took the clothing that her grandmother
offered.

"Is love pills, yes?" Cologne nodded her head.

"I found this in the Tendo home while you were... fighting... But, the
beads that when ingested cause you to fall in love with the first person of the
opposite sex you see, one of those is missing." Shampoo gave another shocked look.

"You mean?" Cologne nodded again.

"Yes, Someone must haven eaten them..."

"Is gone? You sure Great Grandmother?"

"Yes child. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if son-in-law ate one of
them."

"Which is gone? Instant? Week? Life? Which?"

"Well, from the looks of it, it couldn't have been the instant... So it
has to be the pill that lasts for 7 days or... the pill that lasts forever."
Shampoo frowned, yet she mentally sighed. <Good, Ranma no REALLY like violent
girl> Shampoo smirked as thoughts of revenge began to flow through her mind. <He
he he. I make bad thing to good. Then Akane hate Ranma and Ranma have me to love.>
--------------

Akane had fallen asleep leaning on the door, protectively hugging a
pillow. She was deep asleep. Her early thoughts began to rise to the depths of her
dreams.

------
"Akane..." Akane turned to see Ranma gently smiling and beckoning her to
him. She skipped over and stopped next to him and smiled.

"What is it, Ranma?"

"I love you Akane..."

"You do Ranma... I'm so happy..."

"Do you love me?"

"Of...Of course I do..."

"I love you... and Shampoo... and Ukyo... I love you all..." Ukyo and
Shampoo magically appeared and as Akane stepped away from Ranma, Shampoo and Ukyo
linked arms with Ranma. Ranma smiled again, turning to each girl and kissed her on
the forehead. Akane clasped her head and started to shake it from side to side.

"This... this is not... love..." she started to say.

"Then... I guess I don't love you." Ranma said in a carefree voice. He
turned to each girl and nodded. Then turned and skipped away. Akane stood there in
shock.

"What... did you say?"
-----
Akane's dreams continued through the night. She slept leaning on the door
with Ranma leaning on the other side. The rain's fury cooled and now way only lite
tapping on the ground. The air rushed around the city, through the trees, the
benches, the stores, and the home of a young Chinese girl who grinned
mischievously as she lowered herself into her bed.
