Oh you know! None of the Ranma ½ characters belong to me. They belong to Rumiko Takahashi. Oh wise anime creator please don't sue me!! ( That wasn't mockery!)

Chapter 4: Battle
At noon, Akane sat on the grass scanning the soccer field for any sign of Mousse. A few other people were there she noticed. Dr. Tofu made a fool of himself while Kasumi laughed, Nabiki slapped photos down in front of Kuno, Genma and Soun cheated at a friendly game of shogi, and Ukyo cooked up fresh batches of okonomiyaki.
"Where is Mousse?" Akane asked desperately. Ranma sat down beside her and handed over an okonomiyaki.
"How should I know? He has to come, otherwise all that training was for nothing." He took a bite of his okonomiyaki.
"I guess..." Shampoo walked onto the field, her two bonbori resting on her shoulders. She looked toward Ranma and Akane.
"Ranma!" She began running toward him.
"Aw, not again..." Ranma muttered darkly. Akane decided to act. She gave him a hug. "Hm?" She tightened her grip around his waist. Akane... Shampoo stopped short and stared.
"What violent-girl do to Ranma!" Shampoo began running again and launched a jump kick at Akane's head. Akane flew back.
"Akane!" Ranma shouted standing up. He turned toward Shampoo. "Shampoo..." he growled. Akane stood up and clenched her fists.
"Ranma, this is between me and Shampoo!" Akane confronted her, chi starting to glow around her. Shampoo smirked.
"I fight for Ranma anytime!" she swung her bonbori at Akane.
"Shampoo this isn't between you and Akane, it's between you and me." Akane looked up and Shampoo turned around, frowning.
"Mousse..." He walked forward, looking determined, without his glasses. "Shall we begin?" Shampoo left Akane and walked to the middle of the field. Akane sat back down next to Ranma fuming, and watched her go.
"*You don't have your glasses. Very stupid move. Are you ready to lose, duck-boy?*" Shampoo asked in Chinese.
"*No. I wouldn't be so sure, Shampoo. I got contacts*" Mousse replied calmly. They stated at each other and circled the field. Shampoo sprung without warning. Mousse sailed backwards into a goalpost.
Goal! Everyone looked at Genma's sign and shook there heads. What? The panda shrugged. Ranma stiffened as he watched his optimistically challenged friend get up.
"Mousse! What did I teach you? Do the new move!" Shampoo laughed cruelly while she dodged Mousse's daggers and bombs.
"Even you teach duck-boy new move, he still no win, Ranma!" She called at him. Shampoo thrust her bonbori one after the other at Mousse. This time he was ready, so he punched the first one in the air and kicked the other. Mousse quickly threw two mini bombs at them. When the bombs exploded , the bonbori blew up with it.
Shampoo stared blankly at the colorful pieces of her former bonbori as they fell to the ground. Her bangs covered her eyes and she shook with anger. "Those Shampoo's special bonbori!" Shampoo screamed. She sprang for Mousse and attacked with intense speed.
Mousse grunted as he barely blocked Shampoo's onrush. Okay...now for the special attack Ranma taught me. He unleashed two long blades, one on each arm. He crossed them in front of him for defense. Shampoo punched and hissed in pain. Blood dripped from a deep gash in her left hand. Shampoo got angrier and tried getting though Mousse's shield.
Akane leaned over closer to Ranma. "What's he doing?" she asked, not taking her eyes off Mousse. Ranma grinned.
"He's doing it." Akane let out a breath and sat up straight.
"Well that's helping."
"*Why aren't you fighting back? Scared?*" Shampoo taunted. Mousse stayed silent and continued blocking.
"Almost there..." Ranma said apprehensively.
This looks familiar... Genma stated on his sign.
"Come to think of it, it does," Ukyo uttered, turning off her grill. "Ranma-honey, you didn't teach him..."
"Now!" Ranma yelled. Mousse fixed his eyes on Shampoo.
"DRAGON'S HEAVEN-BLAST!!" Shampoo stared at Mousse wide eyed as she was blasted away. Everyone watched quietly while Shampoo soared through the air and landed in a crumpled heap a few feet away from Mousse.
Shampoo lifted her head up a bit and glared at him. "S-stupid-duck boy...Y-you no beat Sha-Shampoo..." The last of her energy left her and she collapsed. Mousse dropped to his knees.
Nabiki took out her camera and began taking pictures. Tofu rushed over to Shampoo's side and felt for a pulse. Soun closed his eyes, taking deep breaths. Genma wrote something on a sign.
Yup, I told you it looked familiar! I told you! Uyko wacked him on the head with her spatula.
"Of course it looks familiar. We were there when the old lady taught Ranma that move." Akane looked at Ranma.
"So Mousse was doing that. Why didn't you tell me? Remember? I was there helping you too." Ranma raised an eyebrow at her.
"Akane, it was obvious. I'll be right back." He got up and went over to Mousse and crouched down beside him. "Hey, you won. You should be happy. What's wrong?" Mousse shook violently. "Wha-?"
"WAHAHA! I finally beat her! I beat Shampoo!" He beamed at Ranma and shook his hand. "Thank you Saotome! Thank you!" He turned to look at Shampoo and his smile melted off his face. "...."
"Mousse?"
"She's not going to marry me though."
"What do you mean? She has to!"
"No, she'll find any and every way to prevent the marriage from happening."
"Don't let her!" Ranma said desperately.
"I'm not going to force her to do anything. I'm not like that. I just...want her to love me like I love her." Ranma stayed silent, not knowing what to say. Mousse stood up and walked over to Tofu. "Please take good care of her. Make sure she is okay."
Tofu nodded. "I will." Mousse bowed and ran from the field. Kuno looked up from his pictures and watched him run.
"Such a noble man!" Kasumi sighed, also watching Mousse go.
"Poor Mousse."
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Shampoo woke up in a dimly lit room. She sat up abruptly and winced in pain. Shampoo felt stiff and sore, not knowing why. She glanced down at her hand to find it tightly wrapped in bandages. Then she remembered. Mousse. Destroyed bonbori. Injured hand. The blast. The blackout.
"How Mousse know blast of dragon? Oh, Ranma teach. How come I no see Ranma teach duck-boy? Why he teach duck-boy? Airen no like me that much? No. Airen is not Airen anymore. I must marry Mousse. Is Amazon law." Sigh. "How I lose...?" Shampoo flopped back on her pillow and closed her eyes.
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Mousse ran until he reached the Nekohanten. Cologne emptied the last of the money in the cash register and looked at Mousse in the doorway. "Well? What happened? You're not too bruised up." Mousse stared at her blankly.
"I...beat her." He walked up the stairs and closed his door behind him. Cologne put the money in her hand down and braced herself against her staff.
"Beat her?" She repeated, not believing what she just heard.
*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*
Author's Note:
Well that was an interesting fight (I am being horribly sarcastic). I took me forever! Somehow I still think-no-I know there is something wrong with it... Poor Mousse. He loves Shampoo soooo much. What will he do to try and get her to marry him? ~Sob~ Oh well. On to the next chapter( Right now for me...you hafta wait. Nyah!)!
