Disclaimer: Bla, bla, bla, I don't own Ranma, bla, bla...

I still haven't gotten any good reviews, but I'm bored enough to do Chapter 2. People are still confused... It's time for a little Q&A.

1. In response to What would the sword do if it hit Shampoo? Think about it. What would happen to Ranma if he drowned in the Spring of Drowned Man? Same idea. No more kitty. Her mom doesn't know that Shampoo is a kitty. And she doesn't know that Ukyo isn't her friend. She thinks by cursing Shampoo's "friend," she will get back on Shampoo. But she sorta just leaves. Weird, I know... More of her later.

2. I know it's not a question, but in response to Honestly, this fic needs to be rewritten. It is very difficult to tell what is going on or who is talking, I can't think of what to say. If you don't like my style don't read my fic.

Ahem, anyway, on with Chapter 2!!

Chapter 2-

(*_*) Shampoo (*_*)

My mother has left. Which is good, I suppose. I never liked her for much, leaving me with all the chores while she trained. Running away to chase Ranma was honor. She doesn't understand. She never has. I don't understand why she is mad at me. I didn't curse her! Ah, but she is gone. Now I have to deal with Ukyo, the spatula lady.

I'm lying on an extra pallet at the Tendo's. I decide to look for Ukyo- to talk to her. We've never been friends, but now that she is cursed I think I should be nicer.

I look around, but she isn't there. Ranma's in his room, the Tendo's are out or something, and I can't find her.

"Ranma," I say, "You see Ukyo?"

"...no. She--left. For her house."

I grit my teeth and decide to walk there.

.:Ukyo:.

I'm still staring at the ceiling when I hear a knock on the front door. I jump up and walk towards it, slowly, as my head aches. I open it, and it's Shampoo. I almost jump, but just invite her inside and tell her to sit down in the restaurant.

"So...how did your mother get so mad?" I ask, sitting down with two cups of tea, and handing her one. "Did you really curse her?
"No. I no think so. She--never like me."

"In any case," I sigh, "you should feel extremely lucky. Ranma..." I choke, biting my lip to stop my tears.

(*_*) Shampoo (*_*)

"He chose you," she finishes, and now she's crying. I don't know what to say, but before I know it I'm comforting her, telling her it's okay.

But I'm happy. Oh so happy.

|/(Ranma)\|

I awake from my reverie, one of happiness, with a start. I realize what I've said to Ukyo. That I've chosen Shampoo. And that doesn't make sense to me. I wish I had said something different, anything at all. I'd seen her burst into tears. I have to go apologize. I jump out of bed, and run out the door.

************************************************************************

Short chapter, I know... anyway, to sum up what happened (not much!):

Shampoo "talks" (thinks) about mother/daughter relations (sort of).

Shampoo goes over to Ukyo's and apologizes.

Ranma realizes what he has done by hurting Ukyo.

OK, that's all of Chapter 2. Seeya! Hope to get some good reviews... ^_^
