Ahhhh..... the plot thickens
The next morning, Ramna, Gemna, and Akane walked into the cat café. Cologne sat at a table, waiting. Shampoo sat next to her, arms crossed, staring into space. In the background Mouse hurried himself, cleaning off tables. In a table across from them sat three women, each having light brown hair and gray eyes. They were talking amongst themselves until they noticed the trio enter into their establishment.
Akane was surprised when she saw everyone in the café, usually there were many people scattered around the tables. She was wearing a button up dress with a blue trim and yellow sleeves. Ramna wore a t-shit and denim jeans. Gemna trudged behind them, carrying a look of curiosity.
"Uh, hello?" Ramna asked in confusion, "What's going on here? What was it you wanted to talk to us about?"
"Yeah....,"Akane said equally confused.
"hmmm...," Gemna pondered, "You've want to talk about my son's so called 'engagement' to your granddaughter. Don't you?"
"Your deduction is correct, Mr. Satome." She said very formally and eloquently. Gemna was taken back in shock of this, but quickly regained composure when one of the three strangers sitting at the table across from them spoke up.
" I see we are all acquainted with each other, that cuts the introduction. Now lets get down to business." The Slightly taller, muscular one said, " We are a few of the representatives for the Chinese government." She wore a simple Chinese button up shirt accompanied with armor. Her hair went to her soldiers; you could tell she was the warrior of the group, accustomed to small talk.
Ramna looked at the three women in nervousness, "You three don't really look like elders of the high Chinese council. You don't even look old."
"Yes that is true, we are actually only half Chinese and adopted by the Amazon government." Another of the woman said, sitting next to the tall muscular one. She had a blue and gray Kimono on and her long hair was tied into a bow in the back. "Let me introduce our selves, I am Lo` xian, this is Sa lein sitting next to me, an this is...."
"Pow dar!" the much younger one stood up and faced them. Contradictory to Lo` xian's kimono and Sal lein's traditional warrior style clothing, she wore a T- shirt and blue jeans.
"Lotion, Scalene, and Powder?" Akane asked in disbelief.
"Uh,... Yeah. I guess you could say that's what everyone calls us." Powder said unmoved.
"They come and talk of marriage!" Shampoo said happily. You could hear an angry grunt from mousse cleaning the tables behind them.
"Now, can we please get down to business? Please?" Scalene said determined to get this over with.
"Yes," Cologne said, "I have waited too long for them to be married and he has been continually avoiding the subject. I know the laws of Japan are different, but due to our new alliance, Chinese law is to be considered and outweighs every possibility. In order to make him listen, I humbly ask for your judgment in this predicament." She said bowing before Scalene, Lotion, and Powder.
Shampoo added to what Cologne had to say, "I be loyal to marriage but stupid girl get in way!" she said pointing to Akane.
"I can't just marry her! I already have...., Four other fiancés!" He said counting on his fingers.
"Yes," Lotion said, "but this is the only engagement that is recorded on a legal document. Therefore, by law you two are forced to marry. If you don't marry her, it is punishable by death."
" Is there any way we can get out of this?" Akane asked desperately. Gemna stood beside her in Panda form.
Powder spoke up, "To tell you the truth nobody has ever reported a violation of this law in fifty years. The only way you can get out of this is if Cologne or Shampoo dropped the charges."
"So you're forcing me to marry against my will while I'm still in High school?!" Ramna asked them.
"Well....," Powder said, "If you put it that way, yes. Yes we are!"
"We don't expect you to make the decision now, you have until tomorrow to come to us with your choice." Lotion said.
"You make wise decision and marry Shampoo no?!" Shampoo hugged Ramna.
After he got Shampoo off him, Ramna faced the three Amazon, "What if I decide to just leave? What if I decide to fight this?"
Scalene gave Ramna a look that would scare anyone out of their socks, "Don't reckon with Chinese law. If you do not pay with you're life then someone very close will." Scalene walked over to Akane, giving her a look of pure contempt and scorn. "such a pretty girl, I would hate to see her go."
"But!...." Ramna was cut off by Scalene who was hurrying them out the door.
"You must go. Come back tomorrow with your decision." Scalene said.
"By Eiren! Shampoo talk wedding plans with you later!" the Amazon said happily. Mousse once again let out an angry grunt.
Outside of the Cat Café Ramna let out a sigh of angry confusion. "What am I going to do now?"
Gemna held out a sign that said 'I dunno. You're the one that got yourself into this marriage.' Both Ramna and Akane pummeled him into the ground.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
That afternoon Ramna, Gemna, and the Satome family met outside a forest five miles from nermia. Everyone was saying goodbye to the two, hugging them and wishing them a safe journey. Ramna and Akane decided to leave Nemia in fear of death and marriage. (Like there's a difference)
Kasumi wore a fake smile, hoping that she would see the two again, "Bye, bye! I hope you have a safe journey! Be careful!"
Soun walked up to his daughter and patted her head. "Yeah, you take care of yourselves."
Gemna added to what he had to say, "We'll find a loop hole out of this somehow. When we do we will call you out of hiding."
Akane was curious as to where her other sister was, "where's Nabiki?" she asked."
"She's at a friends house, working on a project," Kasumi replied thoughtfully, "I'm sure if she were here she'd wish you a safe journey."
"Yeah, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be safe if I have to eat Akane's cooking." He said in complaint, sticking his tounge out for Akane to see. This deserved him a blow to the head along with various insults by Akane.
"Let's get going!" Akane said, dragging Ramna behind her. As she hauled him closer into the wood, Gemna, Soun, and Kasumi walked homeward. They had a feeling that it would be a while before they saw each other again.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
Kasumi was happily cooking dinner when Shampoo stopped by to see Ramna. She was surprised to find out that he was not there.
"What? Shampoo no see why Ramna go when we be married?!" she said.
"I think that's why he left, shampoo." Nabiki walked into the kitchen. She grabbed an apple off the counter and took a bite.
"Where Airen go?" Shampoo asked in desperation.
Kasumi spat out cordially, "He went..." no sooner did Nabiki cover her mouth with her hand, a sly, cunning smirk hot-glued to her face.
"First there must be some kind of wager." Nabiki said rubbing her thumb and index fingers together signifying her greedy intentions.
"Fine," Shampoo placed several coins in her hand, "You tell where Ramna is."
Nabiki looked at the coins in her hand and put her palm out for more, "Think again, this isn't gossip you hear on the streets, this is very valuable information." She said imitating a 1920's Mothia leader. Of all the martial artists and of all the sword swing samurai in Nermia, she was the most influential because at some point or another they owed her money. Sure a fool could oppose her, but they would pay for it one way or another including public humiliation and major financial loss. The very essence of her words was not to be taken lightly.
"Fine, Shampoo give you as much money as need. You tell." Shampoo reached out and gave her several bills. She then leaned towards Nabiki in expectation.
"Well the truth is...." She paused leaning into Shampoo's suspense.
" Yes, you tell now!" Shampoo whispered quietly in her direction.
"Well the truth is....," Nabiki paused once again. "I DON'T KNOW!" she suddenly yelled loudly into her ear, startling Shampoo into an angry confusion. She leaned back and put the money in her pocket.
Shampoo grabbed Nabiki by the collar and lifted her into the air. "Shampoo tired of playing round. You tell!!!!"
Kasumi looked startled but was soon relieved when she saw the reassuring smile of her younger sister. Nabiki looked at Shampoo with a menacing smirk. Shampoo then put her down and walked over to Kasumi. Hopefully she would tell her.
Shampoo fought all her might with Nabiki and Kasumi to find where her Airen was. Fortunately, after several protests of Nabiki, Kasumi told her of Ramna's whereabouts. Shampoo was shocked to say the least that her Airen ran away. She was determined to find him and bring him back, Amazon style.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
About an hour after, Mousse trudged through the forest carrying a load on his back. Shampoo was in front of him urging to hustle. "You hurry Duck boy. Night come soon!"
"Yes, love...." He mumbled under his breath.
Shampoo stopped in her tracks, puzzled. "What you say?" she asked.
"nothing.....", he said, tormented by the purpose of their travels.
"Stupid Mousse be sorry for liking Shampoo. She engaged to Ramna!" Shampoo cried cheerfully, more or less unnoticing of Mousse growling in rage of the pig-tailed martial-artist. She exceeded him, running faster and faster through the forest till mousse could no longer keep up.
Mousse gasped for breath trying to keep up, "Shampoo, Wait up!"
Shampoo abruptly stopped in front of Mousse, "give up. Shampoo hate you so go home!"
Mousse looked at her with a look of determination and hugged her, "say more of your hate and I should only love you more."
Shampoo, flustered, pushed him away, "Shampoo hate you!!!" she said and ran off swiftly in the other direction.
Mousse rested against a tree branch, laying down the load on his back. "I guess in this chase she is the victor. Ramna Satome, I will get you!" he said, then heading off into the direction he saw Shampoo go.
"Another pretty piece of flesh. Will you involve her in our plan?" the shorter one said, saying to his master.
This earned him a blow to the head in witch he dodged, "Of coarse yes, but not for myself but for the youth with the glasses. An upperclassman such as myself would feel pity on the poor boy. I know how it feels to have unrequited love."
The shorter man spoke with sarcasm in his voice, "You master? I would never think of anyone not liking you!"
Kuno shrugged as he took this remark seriously. "I know it is hard to believe. I guess every one has a weak spot or two."
"So what do you expect me to do?" the midget sized man said beside him.
"Tonight you will give both the girls the mushroom. You will awaken my sister, If all goes right, the long haired, robe wearing youth will awaken the purple haired beauty." He said in romanticism.
The shorter shadow added to the boneless mush, "Love is in the air and I shall soon have your sister!"
"No, just no" The taller, more graceful one said, squandering the moment.
"hey! what is that supposed to mean?" the shorter figure said.
~@~~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@@@~@~
At about the same time on a different side of the wood, Ramna and Akane stopped their travel to make camp. After gathering wood and making a fire they sat down to eat some of Akane's hardy, homemade scrumptious cooking. Though she insisted that it was her grandmother's recipe for stew, Ramna seriously doubted that he would be alive after one bite.
"hmm...., now I could starve to death or die of food poisoning...." He said getting an angry look from Akane, "I'll take the former. Do you think it would be ok if I go ahead and write out a will?"
Akane responded to this with pounding him in the head with her mallet. This made him immediately rub his head in pain, "well, fine, if your going to be that way, I'll just go to bed."
As long as he was sleeping, she decided to settle down and have a peaceful meal. She looked at the green ooze she had made and suddenly decided that she wasn't hungry. Maybe in the morning it would look a bit more likeable. She was pretty tired after all..
While the both of them dreamt sweet dreams, another was at work. This person was no other than the master of perverts, Happy. Happosai looked at the both of them in confusion. Who was the one Kuno had told him to give the potion? He knew that he had to give a girl with purple hair the potion, but under the cover of darkness all he could see was a boy and girl. What if this wasn't the girl he had told him to potion? 'I guess it doesn't matter,' he thought to himself, giving the girl the potion. She would just have someone to love, even if she wasn't the girl. It didn't make that much difference if it was besides the master plan did it? He gave the potion to the girl and slowly walked off.
Little did he know that he two was being watched by a shadowy figure peering through the trees whispering, "ahh.... The plot thickens."
