Sorry, the storyline before was a little confusing, it will be explained in this chapter ^_^
I'm kinda upset with the reviews. No one likes it!!! But whatever. Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 1- Cursed?!
{/}Akane{\}
I see Ukyo and Shampoo sitting at the kitchen table. I wonder what they're up to...
I hear talk coming from there.
"...and he thought I was you! Weird, huh?"
"Is very odd, yes. I no think Ranma feeling well..."
I step into the kitchen, pretending to be getting some water, but really I want to hear what they're saying. They don't notice me at all.
"I have a feeling that I was dozing off too, a little, I was feeling dizzy and confused..."
"Ah... I no know what to say...I wish he ditch Akane for Shampoo..."
I dropped my glass with a clunk. No fair!
The glass splatters into a million pieces, and the water flies up everywhere. Onto Shampoo, onto me, onto Ukyo. I hear a meow behind me. I slowly turn around, careful as to not step on glass, and gasp with horror.
(*_*) Shampoo (*_*)
Darn, now I'm a cat. I turn to Akane and mew, mew, mew, mew. She gasps and I wonderingly turn around. It's...me! I mean, the human me, sitting where Ukyo was. She (or I) is sucking her thumb and whimpering because of the broken glass. I don't know what to say... Wait. I can't say anything. Shoot!
.:Ukyo:.
Is it just me or is everyone staring?
{/}Akane{\}
"Shampoo?" I shriek, looking at her. But.. but... "there's two of you!"
"Huh?"
.:Ukyo:.
Here we go again. It seems like everyone's caught the same disease Ranma has!
"I'm telling you, I'm Ukyo! Ukyo, the chef!" I plead.
"No, you're not," whispers Akane. "Unless... unless, that Amazon..."
I shrug and walk over to the mirror. I look at myself and bite my fist to stop my own cry. No, no! I'm... cursed. Cursed to be like... Shampoo?!?!?!?!!?! I can't help it. I scream.
[:}Nabiki{:]
One, two, one, two...(Author's Note: She's doing aerobics.) Oh! Sounds like we have visitors...
_+Kasumi+_
I'm resting in my bed after a tired day of cooking, when suddenly I hear a scream. What was that? Sounded like Shampoo, and a lot of broken glass. I knew I shouldn't have left the kitchen!!!
|\(Ranma)/|
I race down the stairs to the kitchen. My eyes scan over a horrified Akane, broken glass and water, a wet-looking Shampoo, and... wait, a cat? It's Shampoo!!! Eek, I hate cats! But wait... this must mean... there are two Shampoos? I'm so confused...
.:Ukyo:.
What a weird evening. Well, Shampoo discussed it with me and she came up with an explanation. The sword that the woman had was cursed, mixed with Jusenkyo water and Shampoo's blood. Apparently the woman was her mother. Strange...
|\(Ranma)/|
Shampoo and Ukyo just told me the whole story. Karin, it seemed, had also been cursed, but what did she turn into? I suddenly remember how I held her... Blushing furiously, I walk over to Ukyo. She's sitting there demurely, I never realized how pretty she was. But I can't be falling for her, not now, I reason with myself. And then I think of Shampoo. The Amazon goddess. No, Shampoo is the one.
"Oh, Ranma! Shampoo says Karin left Japan!" she said, happiness in her eyes. "I'll have a celebration with you-"
"No, Ukyo. I can't." His voice was solemn. "Shampoo...wouldn't like it. She...is the one for me."
Now her eyes filled with tears, and she pulled her head away. What have I done?
.:Ukyo:.
I can't let him see me cry... what does he see in Shampoo? I run, as fast as I can, out of the Tendo household, tramping. Now I cry and keep running until my feet feel like they could explode. And then I reach my house, right next to my shop. There I lie on my bed, my wall covered with pictures of Ranma--I rip them off. I know I have to give him up now. I don't want to, but I have to. Or I'll be miserable for the rest of my life.
*********************************************************************
Sorry if you're still confused. If you don't understand, what happened in this chapter:
Akane sees Ukyo turn into Shampoo
Everyone finds out how Ukyo got cursed: Karin mixed her own daughter's blood with water from Jusenkyo, put it on a sword and, trying to get revenge on Shampoo for her own curse, hits Ukyo and thus curses her.
Ranma tells Ukyo how he feels.
I tried to explain, at least! I'll only write a new chapter with positive feedback. That doesn't mean "Pretty good, but..." It means "I liked it."
I'm not trying to be mean, annoying or whatever the heck you think is evil. ^_^
