Man, it's been a while, but I'm back for a bit. I'm working and just
working out for next year's Volleyball season. Well, anyway, let's see
what happens now to the Nerima crew, shall we?
Chapter 2
"Past me the chives and the 'special' truffles, Shampoo."
Shampoo looked on the counter at the various ingredients and passed Cologne the truffles. Her great grandmother pulled out variety of spices, ingredients, and plain ramen for what? Was it another spell that would be placed in the ramen? If it was, wouldn't he notice or even Akane? Shampoo suddenly felt her depression and sadness come back to her visioning the two teens together.
"Great-grandmother, is this another spell?" asked the purple hair Amazon.
"Yes, but this is a special spell, Shampoo. It is called the "Last Straw Spell". I have here on the counter a potion. When an Amazon needs one last way to persuade her partner, it will do the job. You let your mate eat the food and as they say see you before anyone else, they will fall in love with you eternally," stated Cologne stirring the pot of ramen.
"Great-grandmother, that sounds like the pill bracelet."
"I know, but it is more pleasant this way for both the Amazon and the mate. I will make three plates of food."
"Why three plates?"
"If you bring only one plate, child, Ranma or even Akane will suspect something. So, if Akane, Ranma, and you eat the bowl together it won't be so suspicious."
"You are too smart, great grandmother."
"It all comes in age, my dear."
Shampoo nodded her head and watched the boiling pot of juicy ramen float in the water. It simmered quietly bubbling as the steam float in the air. The smell was delicious. Ranma wouldn't even try to protest from this meal.
Cologne waited a few more moment then gathered the food in three bowls. In the last bowl, she poured seven drops of the potion. She gathered the bowl and walked them over to a delivery box. She placed the two untouched bowls in the top compartment but in the bottom compartment, she placed the third one in.
"Now, go see them and don't leave there until you have the one you love," stated Cologne giving Shampoo the box.
The violet hair girl nodded at her grandmother and walked out the kitchen. She walked over to the mirror and looked at her face. Her eyes were red and her cheeks still were covered with streams of wet paths. She sighed to herself as she fixed herself up. She couldn't go over to the house and look like a mess even if she was. She still had a small chance of happiness. From now on, she couldn't mess up.
An hour later at the Tendo household, Akane and Ranma sat at the table chatting. Everyone was out for the evening, so it left the two alone. It was amazing to see them in the same room not arguing with one another. Maybe there was some hope for them now.
"I feel so sorry for Shampoo and Ukyo. I know they loved you very much," commented Akane with a small sigh.
"I think it was bound to end and I think they saw it, too" replied Ranma while placing his chin on the table.
"And I feel so terrible for Ryoga. I never knew he liked me so long!"
"It was very visible to see, Akane."
"But I can't believe it at all! I hated to see him upset."
"Yeah, I didn't want to upset anyone, but things have to change, you know."
He placed his hand on hers under the table while looking into space. She looked down and then looked at him with a smile. She liked this kind of attention from him. It was worth all their bickering now. She just wanted him to show it more often now.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door which made Ranma unconsciously place his hand off of Akane's. She frowned a bit, but decided to answer the door. She rose from the table and walked over to the door. As she opened the door, her face changed immediately as she looked at the person with a confused face.
"Shampoo?" She asked.
"Nihao, Akane," greeted Shampoo casually.
"What do you want? Trying to steal Ranma away?" asked Akane suddenly glaring at her.
"No, no! Shampoo is done, no more chasing Ranma. It took some time, but Shampoo knew it was done. I come with meal for us three. Is okay?"
Akane looked at the delivery box she held and then back at the Chinese girl. She didn't know what to think. She knew who Shampoo was and she was one to use tricks on people easily, but a part of her wanted to think she was being truthful. Shampoo wasn't a mean person; she was just a person in love and would do anything to have it returned.
Akane moved to the side and motioned her to walk inside. She obeyed the command and walked in with a small smile. She walked over into the dining room and saw Ranma lying on his siding picking his ear. She mentally shook her head at his disgusting habit and made her way in. He looked up and displayed a shock face as she took a seat beside him.
"What are you doing here?" He asked looking at Shampoo carefully.
"I bring food for us. Akane, me, and you will eat yummy new ramen," replied Shampoo opening the box.
She placed the bowls on the table in front of each respectable person. The scent of the food made Ranma's mouth water. It looked sooo good. Still, he felt something wasn't right.
"Umm, Shampoo, Akane, why don't you two go get chopsticks and napkins while I go wash my hands," insisted the pigtail boy.
"Yes, Ranma," unison the two girl.
Both girls walked together to the kitchen as Ranma waited for them to look over in the kitchen. Swiftly, Ranma traded his bowl with Shampoo's and rose from the table to the bathroom. He didn't want to seem like he didn't trust her, but he knew Shampoo, and he knew Cologne and amazons never gave up.
Minutes later, they all returned back to the table ready to eat. Akane passed the chopsticks to them and kept a pair for herself. Ranma and Akane looked at each other for a quick moment before beginning to eat.
"You two okay? I did no thing to food. You can watch me eat mine first if you want," stated Shampoo detaching her chopsticks.
"Yeah, that might be just a good idea," replied Ranma looking over to the Amazon.
Shampoo picked up her bowl and began to pick up her noodle. She closed her eyes and began to slurp the delicious ramen. As she began to finish half of her bowl in front of them, a loud crash was heard from her right side. She placed the bowl down and looked over to her right to see an angry Ryoga.
"Ranma Soatome, I can't let you have Akane! She doesn't deserve me, BUT she deserves better than you!!" called out Ryoga.
Ranma stood up as Ryoga charged toward him. Akane frowned as Shampoo and her rose up and avoided getting hit. She knew she hurt but she didn't know he loved her that strong. She didn't want him hurt, but she couldn't take this fighting.
"Ryoga, stop!" shouted Akane as she covered her mouth.
Ryoga began to deliver a combination of short jab as the pigtail boy dodged each one with difficulty. Ranma knew he was going to have problems with this fight with Ryoga. His rage increased fighting ability, to his dismay. All he could do was wear him down a little or wait until her gave him an opening.
Suddenly, Ryoga gave a right hook good enough for Ranma to strike. Ranma took that chance and blocked his hook and delivered a right hook himself. Ryoga fell back while touching on his cheek.
"Come on, Ryoga, we already know who the better fighter is. You just need to calm down," stated Ranma as he adjusted his attire.
"Aiyaa, stupid Ranma!"
She ran toward Ranma and delivered a strong right jab to his left. He fell back touching his cheek while whimpering softly. What in the world has got into that Shampoo was all he could think. But as he looked up to her once more, another surprised expression appeared on his face. Shampoo wrapped her arms around the lost boy's neck while purring softly along his cheek.
"Sh- Sh- Shampoo!" yelled the nervous Ryoga as he try to pry away.
"Wo a ni," she replied looking straight into his chestnut eyes.
She moved her face closer to Ryoga's until her lips touched his. She moved her hands to his head and pulled him closer to her pressing her lips deeper into the kiss. Unfortunately for her, Ryoga separated from the lavender hair girl and began to feel blood feel his head. With that, his nose started to bleed as he fell back unto the ground unconscious.
