It was an ordinary day in Nerima. Or as close to ordinary as it could get living in a town filled with martial artists. With that established, it was pretty much normal. Ranma and Akane walk to school. Shampoo comes in on one of her bike-riding escapades and starts clinging to Ranma. Mousse runs up attacking Ranma for getting that close to Shampoo. Akane mallets Ranma. Ranma tries to shove Shampoo off while Mousse starts attacking with some random weapon, or two, or four, or ten. At least, that's how it started...

Chapter 1
How dare you touch my precious Shampoo? You shall PAY for it Ranma Saotome!!! Mousse cried, as he shot out a series of knives, chains, and other oddly assorted armaments. In a matter of seconds, Ranma was tied up and pinned to the fence. Ranma said, a huge sweatdrop forming. Shampoo let out a loud, high-pitched scream. MUU TSU!!!!!

Forgetting his restrained opponent, Mousse ran over to Shampoo and grasped her by the shoulders. Is there anything I can do for you, my darling? Shampoo gave him the look that said, You're a total idiot, get away from me' and grabbed the nearest heavy object, slamming him on the head. Stupid Mousse, she said, very childishly sticking out her tongue.

Sometime during this transaction, Ranma had freed himself. Come on Akane, let's get away from these goons. Whatever Ranma As they start to continue on their way to school, Mousse runs up to Akane and glomps her. Why have you done this to me Shampoo? Just before Ranma and Akane could simultaneously pound him into the ground, a voice could be heard yelling in the distance.

Shampoo and Mousse turned around to listen because they had nothing better to do. Ranma and Akane just turned around as an excuse to be even later for school. Did anyone even understand what they were yelling? They all shook their heads. Shampoo no know. I do not know either Ranma Saotome. As they were about to resume whatever they had been doing before, they heard it again. This time they could understand it.

XIAN PU!!! All four of them whipped around to face the owner of the voice. They could make out a sillouhette on one of the rooftops. Before they had anytime to look at it, the figure jumped off, performing several frontflips, landing gracefully at their feet.

At first glance she could only be described as cute; or adorable. She was wearing long, flowing red-silk robes and black-silk pants underneath them. The red complimented her orchid hair well. Her hair wasn't quite as long as Shampoo's, as it came only to her elbows. Some of the hair was pulled back into a ponytail. And probably the first thing you would notice about her were her eyes. They were bright green, going well with her piercing gaze.

Shampoo recognized the girl the very moment she had landed. Shampoo's eyes widened with delight as she ran up to greet the newly arrived Amazon. The two had bee best friends since before they could remember. But before Shampoo could get close enough even for a Nihao', the girl was in the air and pulling a machine gun seemingly out of nowhere all in one swift movement.

And then she opened fire on Shampoo. Being the martial artist that she was, Shampoo was able to dodge all the bullets but one, which had only grazed her shoulder. Before she fired the second round, Shampoo yelled for her to stop. Being one year younger than Shampoo and very naive, the girl did so. She just stopped. Mousse awoke from his stupor and ran over to the two Amazon women and stepped between them. Mousse, what you do? This fight between womans! I'm sorry Shampoo, but I must know what this fiend is doing!

The girl gave them a quizzical look and it took Ranma to tell them, since he was the only one with an IQ above 50. Hey, guys! I don't think she speaks Japanese! He muttered something under his breath about stupid Amazons while Akane tried to stifle a laugh. Mousse turned to a statue. Thank you, Ranma.

Then he redirected his attention back at the young woman. [Who are you and what do you have against Shampoo?] The girl apparently understood and nodded her head. [I am Kon Di Xian Ur. The Amazon elders were ashamed at Xian Pu's failure to kill Ranma. To make up for Xian Pu's mistake, they sent me to kill her so that she would take her failure with her to her grave. Then I was instructed to kill Ranma and regain our tribe's pride.]

It took a while for this to sink in. Then Shampoo spoke. [So you have come to eliminate me, Kon di?] Kon Di Xian Ur nodded again, with sad resolution in her eyes. Akane and Ranma finally spoke up. Um, what's going on? Mousse, being better at speaking Japanese, translated for them. This is Kon Di Xion Ur. Ranma interrupted. Mousse rolled his eyes at Ranma's inability to pronounce Chinese names. He then launched into an explanation of everything else Conditioner had said.

At last, the three Amazons got back to what they were discussing. [I'm sorry, Kon Di, but I can't allow you to kill Shampoo. I love her.] Shampoo took this as an opportunity smack Mousse. Conditioner's eyes widened. [Muu Tsu???] [Um, yes?] Her eyes lit up. [It is you! I hardly recognized you! Muu Tsu!] Conditioner glomped Mousse. All Mousse could think was: *Well, this is a first...*


A/N- Yes, yes, I know it was really confusing, or is at the moment at least, but I promise you'll understand in the next chapter! It does eventually have a story, this chapter was kind of here just to introduce my character. Kon Di is her Chinese nick name, but everyone else just knows her as conditioner. And her inability to speak Japanese might be a bit of a problem later on...I'm telling a little much, just wait and see! Please review, no flames! Thanks! ^_^
