Kodachi slept under the cover of darkness. Today had been a tiring day but she had enjoyed walking through the woods with her well-paid associates. Well, sort of...

If this was what people called a relaxing nature walk, they were insane. Her face was covered in dirt and she was almost attacked by a wild boar that was wallowing in mud. Stupid Boar. Of coarse, after that she had told her associates (aka servants) to leave and let her be 'one with nature' as she liked to call taking out her lawn chair from her pack and sitting down. Soon after that, she laid her sleeping bag on the ground, not bothering to make camp. At least she had gotten the comfort of a relaxing sleep, and that's all that mattered now.

It was so a proposition that one of her servants came up with to relieve the stress of issues concerning her brother and a certain apprentice child. She then regretted the day she ever listened to that servant and would hastily remove of her before returning home. She snuggled cozily in her sleeping bag and soon drifted to sleep.

Unbeknownst of her was a short little man creeping through the woods, carrying a concoction of dire consequences. He slipped the potion above her eyelids and was off like a breeze that had passed through.

Upon making his rounds of the forest, Happosia spotted a lone girl lying upon a mat of leaves. There was only supposed to be two girls. How come he had seen three? He watched the young girl get herself settled.

Shampoo arranged the leaves as comfortably as she could make them. Stupid mousse. It was his fault in the first place. She couldn't bring her mind to think of any way he transgressed her, but the fact that he loved her was wrong. She was supposed to marry Ramna, Martial artist extraordinaire, and not some boy she had known growing up. After all, she thought, Ramna was a man, brave, daring, noble and not afraid of anyone. Mousse simply wasn't fit for life in Japan; he belonged to the small, tipsy Amazon villages of China. She denied his existence in Japan simply because this life wasn't for him. Shampoo was imprisoned by Chinese law like a poacher to a tigress. She willfully obeyed the law of coarse, leaving her home and pursuing Ramna. But then Mousse reappeared into her life, reminding her of the old days. She would make him go home, one way or another.

"Shampoo tired, me go to bed." She mumbled before collapsing on the pile of leaves. She decided that next time she was going to storm out on Mousse, she would bring something soft to sleep on.

Through the hazy, unclear fog of the dark forest, he noticed the girl fall to sleep. Ah, well, the more the better, as was his motto. He slipped the potion over the girl's eyes and quickly left the scene.

He decided to come by each girl he had given the potion in the morning and find Kodachi. He could almost taste the fruits of his labor...
