Chapter 4-Ryouga & Shampoo's Jealousy

'THOUGHTS' ~SOUNDS~ *MADARIN*

-----------------------------------------

Ryouga looked at the door in his room from his bed, lost in thought. After the incident from this afternoon Ranma had immediately ran off thinking that Ryouga was going to crack any second. Then to make matters worse while Ryouga was still sitting there in shock Mousse came in and started throwing chains and knifes at him because he accused him of trying to steal away Shampoo....again. But luckily Ryouga saw it coming at the last second and dodged it barely. So then Ryouga had to kick his butt and send him flying. He thought that kicking Mousse's butt would make him feel better, but it didn't. So then he tried to go upstairs to talk to Shampoo but got lost and somehow ended up in the broom closet. But luckily Cologne found him and took him to Shampoo's room. But when he tried to talk to Shampoo she only yelled at him and told him to 'GO AWAY!!!'. Which made him feel even more guilty. So he just thought it would be better just to give her room and leave her alone for now. So he called Cologne back up to help him lead him to his room, which was right across from Shampoo's room. Once he got in there he ploped down on his bed and began to get lost in thought. Which brings us to now.

'Dammit, why did Shampoo have to act like that? I mean, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Well, maybe it is. *Sigh* I just don't know anymore. But why did Shampoo look so hurt? It wasn't like we're dating or like she likes me like that. She made it perfectly clear that she.........loves.......Ranma. BUT DAMMIT WHY HIM?!? Anybody else would've been better, even Mousse. But RANMA?!? Shampoo's too good for him. And Akane's too good for him. He deserves to be alone for all the tragedy's he's caused. I mean its not like I'm jealous of him or anything. Right?'

-----------------------------------------

Shampoo layed in her bed looking up at the ceiling. 'DAMN THAT RYOUGA!!! Why didn't he just tell me he had a crush on.....Akane. Even though it probably wouldn't even matter. But....UGH!!! AKANE!!! Really thats just....wrong. And sleeping with her, even if its in his cursed form. She already has enough boys that like her, even though I don't see why they even like her. I bet that Pervert Girl already knows about Ryouga's curse. I mean no ones that stupid. Wait......I'm talking about Akane. But Ryouga liking Akane.....she doesn't even seem like his type. But of course I don't even know your type Ryouga. You always get so nervous and shy around girls. Awww...but he looks so cute when he gets like that.' Shampoo did a little girlish giggle and then realized what she was thinking about.

'WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?!? DAMN YOU RYOUGA!!! Jeez, he's only been back in my life for a little more than a day and these feelings are already coming back. I can't have feelings for Ryouga and Ranma, It'll just get too confusing. Yea, I've already admitted I use to like Ryouga, but should I just ignore him until I sort out my feelings? *Sigh* No, I can't do that because I'm already feeling guilty about ignoring him and telling him to go away. So what am I going to do?'

Shampoo continued to stare at the ceiling, as she paused from her thinking. Then only one thing was clear in Shampoo's mind. 'BUT AKANE?!? IS RYOUGA AS BLIND AS MOUSSE?!? I'm so much better than her in every way. AND RYOUGA LIKES HER?!? IF HE LIKES HER, THEN HE SHOULD BE IN LOVE WITH ME!!!'

Shampoo's eyes went wide as she looked at the ceiling.'Oh.....my.....Kami. I'm jealous. I'm jealous of.......Akane. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!? I'm jealous of a Perverted, Violent, Uncute Tomboy, Kitchen Destroyer. AND ITS ALL RYOUGA'S FAULT!!!'

"Thats it, I have to get this all cleared up." Shampoo said as she began to walk towards Ryouga's room.

-----------------------------------------

Ryouga was still on his bed contemplating about his problems. 'Ok, so if I'm jealous then that means I like Shampoo. But then I like Akane too. But then they're all engaged to Ranma. And Ranma deserves none of them.... SO THATS GETTING EVERYBODY NO WHERE!!!'

Ryouga's thoughts were then cut off by a knock on the door. "Umm...who is it?" asked Ryouga.

"Shampoo."

"Ohh......come in." Ryouga said hesitantly.

Shampoo walked in hesitantly, "Uhhh, hey." Shampoo said nervously.

"Hey." Said Ryouga also nervous.

Shampoo sat on the bed next to Ryouga. They both made sure that they didn't make eye contact with each other. It was silent for a few minutes until Shampoo spoke up, "Umm... Ryouga, I wanted to apologize for earlier."

Ryouga looked up at Shampoo shocked as Shampoo finished, "I guess I sort of...... overreacted. But you really should of told me. I was mad at you because I felt that you couldn't trust me as a friend."

'And I'm mad that you would like someone like Akane...UGH!!!' Shampoo thought as she continued. "So why didn't you tell me Ryouga?"

"Umm...well I didn't want you to think I was a pervert or anything." Ryouga said nervously.

"Well, its too late for that. But I know you're not a pervert. You're too shy to be a pervert." Shampoo said giving him a small smile.

"Yea, well I guess I am." Ryouga said laughing a bit.

"Ohhh, so is that why you were over the Tendou's?" Shampoo asked curiously.

"Ummm, yea I guess so." Ryouga said rubbing the back of his head nervously.

"I don't want you EVER to go back over there." Shampoo said in a stern voice.

Ryouga looked at Shampoo wide-eyed, while Shampoo started laughing nervously. "HAHAHA!!! I was just kidding." Shampoo said nervously while the little voice in the back of her head was nagging her, 'NO, I'M NOT KIDDING!!! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU OVER THAT BITCHES HOUSE EVER AGAIN!!! IN FACT I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU TWO TOGETHER EVER!!!!'

"Oh, hehe." said Ryouga starting to laugh along with Shampoo.

"Am I interrupting something?"

Ryouga and Shampoo turned around to see Cologne standing at the door. "Oh, no. Your not interrupting anything Great-Grandmother."

"Ok, well I have a favor for you to do Shampoo." Said Cologne

"Yea, what is it Great-Grandmother?"

"I need you to go pick up some things from the market. Ryouga can come with you if he likes."

"Sure, I'll come." Ryouga said with a smile.

"The list is on the table by the register." Said Cologne.

"Alright, lets go Ryouga." Shampoo said with a smile on her face.

Cologne watched as they both left with grins on their faces. "Something must be going on."

-----------------------------------------

Ranma came down the stairs rubbing his eyes. 'Dammit there's too much drama, and too much homework. And that just doesn't mix.' Ranma then sniffed the air and immediately cheered up. "Hey Kasumi, when will dinner be ready?" asked Ranma as he walked into the kitchen.

"Once Akane comes back from the market." Kasumi said smiling happily to Ranma.

"Oh, so thats why its been so quiet around here." Said Ranma.

-----------------------------------------

Ryouga and Shampoo were coming back from the market and they were talking about Ranma. "Ryouga, Ranma is not that bad." Said Shampoo.

"Yes, he is. You just don't see him the way that I do. Even though you should after all he's done to you. I just think you're too good for him."

"Awww, I'm flattered Ryouga." Said Shampoo smiling at him.

"Ummmm.....you...your welcome." Ryouga said blushing.

"But of course I think you meant to say me and Akane." Shampoo said giving him an evil smirk.

"Dammit, Shampoo are you ever gonna to let me forget that?"

"Nope, I'm going to keep on reminding you until...." The rest was cut off when Shampoo tripped on a crack in the road.

But luckily Ryouga caught her before she fell. "Shampoo, are you ok?" Ryouga asked. Shampoo just nodded as she gazed into his eyes. And then Ryouga gazed into her eyes. And then they gazed and gazed as their heads began to move forward and their lips began to get closer and closer until..........

A truck came by and splashed them both with water. Shampoo-neko managed to wiggle out her clothes and went to the alley they were next to and shook off some of the water. 'Dammit water is ruining my life.' Shampoo-neko then noticed that there was no pig next to her. 'OH NO!!! I LOST RYOUGA!!!' Shampoo then heard a familiar voice coming from the street.

"P-CHAN!!! There you are. I've been looking all over for you. I thought Ranma did something to you." Said Akane hugging P-Chan.

As for P-Chan he was trying to squirm out but her hold was too tight. 'Ohh no, why did this have to happen now? And where's Shampoo?' Ryouga then spotted a Shampoo-neko glaring at him evilly from an alley. 'Shampoo's gonna kill me.' P-Chan thought as he gave up from trying to escape.

Shampoo glared at P-Chan and Akane as they left. 'I'm going to make Pork Chow Mein out of Ryouga when he comes back.' Shampoo said in a hiss as she walked back to the Nekohatten.
