Chapter 2: Training
"Mousse! Mousse! Go give this order to table ten!" Cologne held out the bowl expectantly. No one came. "Mousse?" She quickly delivered the order and went up to see Shampoo. "Shampoo, do you have any idea where Mousse is?" Shampoo looked at her great-grandmother and laughed bitterly.
"I no care where stupid Mousse is, Why you ask?" Cologne rolled her eyes.
"Because he isn't here, child." Shampoo's face was impassive.
"Oh." A bell sounded downstairs.
"Another customer. Shampoo could you go look for Mousse?" Not waiting for an answer, she went downstairs. Shampoo frowned, and grumbled,
"Yes, great-grandmother."
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Shampoo jumped from tree to tree and rooftop to rooftop searching for Mousse.. Soon she heard sounds of battle, a splash, and quacking. "Mousse," she said under her breath. She leapt toward the sound to see Akane pouring the contents of a kettle over a red-head and a duck. Shampoo crouched low on a tree branch looking down at them.
"That was good Mousse but you need to work on your defense and hand to hand combat." Akane stated. Ranma grinned.
"Exactly what I was gonna say." He turned to Mousse. "Okay, you want another go?"
"Of course." Mousse said wiping his glasses off. He placed them on top of his head and stuck a fighters stance. "Are you ready, Saotome?" Akane laughed and pushed him to face Ranma.
"Put your glasses on, Mousse." Mousse flushed.
"Yes, I forgot." When he was ready, he looked at Ranma. "Are you ready" he asked again.
"Yup." The two flew ate each other. Ranma launched a few punches at Mousse's chest. With difficulty, he blocked them. Ranma stopped and showed Mousse a few different blocks and continued.
Shampoo grimaced. "So that what he do..." she sighed and watched the two spar. Her attention was caught when Mousse took his robe off. "Since when he have such good muscles...he look good that way."
Shampoo made herself more comfortable on the branch. "I wonder if Mousse will get haircut. New glasses, maybe. If Mousse do that, I could–" Shampoo snapped her eyes shut and scolded herself. "Is no hope for duck-boy..."
She shook her head and leapt off to train.
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Next day, Mousse bowed to Ranma , gasping for air. "I thank you Saotome. " Ranma shook his head.
"No prob. Ya did really good, if you remember that move I just showed you, you'll be able to beat Shampoo." Akane walked over.
"Don't forget your defense!" she added.
"Yes, alright. I ask if you both will attend the battle. For if do win, you will be witnesses."
"Wouldn't miss it!" Ranma said, toweling himself off. Akane shrugged.
"Sure, I'll go."
"Thank you sensei!" Mousse bowed again. Ranma sighed.
"Mousse..."
"Yes?"
"Don't call me "sensei. It makes me sound too old." Mousse grinned.
"Okay."
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
"Well Shampoo? Where is Mousse?" Cologne asked, while washing dishes. Shampoo continued wiping the counter.
"He–ah–train with Airen."
"Ah so he is still determined to beat you?"
"Yes."
"So what would you do if he possibly did beat you?" Shampoo glared at her.
"Duck-boy no beat Shampoo! Shampoo too-too strong! Mousse stupid to try beat Shampoo!"
"Answer my question, Shampoo." Cologne said softly.
"I-I no know, great-grandmother." Shampoo said, crumpling her towel into a ball.
"Well child I suggest you get to know him, before you humiliate yourself." Cologne dried her hand. "Could you lock up? I'm going to bed." Shampoo nodded and watched her go upstairs.
"First I go train." she said and went outside.
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
"Saotome, could I talk to you?" Ranma got up and closed the door to his room.
"Don't want pop to barge in. So what do ya wanna talk about?" he sat down in front of Mousse.
"Why are you helping me?" he asked looking down.
"I'm helping you...I'm-uh-helping you-er," Ranma thought of a reason. "Because I don't love Shampoo and I want her to stop pushing herself on me." Mousse looked surprised.
"Really?!" Ranma rolled his eyes.
'Mousse, if I loved Shampoo, then would I help you so that you could take her away from me?" Mousse relaxed.
"Oh! Then all those times I battled you were for no reason."
"Yeah."
"You truly are a noble man, Saotome!" Ranma flushed and laughed nervously.
"Nah, really I'm not. Shampoo is all yours." He suddenly grew serious. "But if you don't beat Shampoo after that move I taught you , I'm breaking your legs."
"Yea, sure. Are you sure she taught you that move?"
"Yup. A while back. I think it's impossible to block. Trust me, I've tried. So knock 'em dead!" Mousse gasped.
"No, don't kill her! It's an expression. It just means beat her."
"Oh, okay." He stood up. "I better be going now. Thanks for your help."
"Mousse why don't you spend the night. I'm sure Shampoo will try to kill you while you're sleeping anyway."
"Thanks. I think I will."
