Chapter 3 Shampoo, or should I say Xan Pu?
"Xan Pu want you all to call Shampoo not Xan Pu." Shampoo said.
"Sure, but first you need to answer our questions." Sayuri said.
"I'm outnumbered" Shampoo thought.
"Looks like I'm not the only one lying here." Akane thought.
"It all started like this. As I said, I was once the head of the Amazon Tribe, but I lost it when my whole family went on bankruptcy. That day when my family died, I followed great grandma to market but when I came back I saw everyone dead, all lying on the floor covered with blood." Shampoo said in a sad tone.
"Why do I feel so sad? I am from the 'underworld' and we don't get touched by these stuff. I suppose to come here and get some treasure. Why am I suddenly getting so carried away?" Akane thought.
"Poor you!" Yuka said. "It must have been a hard time for you." Sayuri said while Shampoo nodded.
"It was hard because my parents don't know martial arts they don't know how to fight. I wouldn't know also if I didn't know great grandma know. I knew I should have been there and yet I still follow great grandma. Why did i?" Shampoo was now in tears.
"Shampoo, we can't change the past. No matter how hard it is, we still must move on. I am really sorry about your family though." Akane said.
"Some royalists killed my mother, but it was only because she was mistaken. But did they have to kill her? We must move on, I must move on. I can't hold a grudge to all of them just because one or two killed my mother. But I am doing this for them. Father and Kasumi one-chan and Nabiki. I won't let them down." Akane thought.
"My, my Akane. You fell into a daze again. I think you should get some rest." Sayuri suggested and Akane agreed and went to bed while Sayuri and Yuka continue to listen to Shampoo's past.
"Mousse so happen was traveling then I guess if u read those magazines you'll know the rest." Shampoo said.
"Yeah, we know. I think we all should get some rest." Yuka said and they three were in their beds

Back in Ranma's room,
"Must sleep!" Ranma said as he was in his bed.
Can't sleep Ranma?
"Yes, I can't."
Is it because about Akane?
"That uncute tomboy no way."
You are regretting about the force engagement aren't you?
"No, I'm not. Kodachi maybe mean, crazy, dumb and so on but she really have a good side like ermmmm...you know."
Listen to your heart, you know you are falling for Akane.
"I wish you were the sleeping guy and just hurry up and put some sleeping powder on me."
Okay, good night Ranma. You might not know what will happen tomorrow. But remember, listen to your heart, you'll find yourself for sure.
"Was I just talking to myself?"
"Rise and shine everyone. You guys don't want to get fired on your first week do ya?" a cheerful Ranko said.
"Yeah, we know Ranko. What makes you awake so early?" Sayuri asked.
"My mom and dad got in a fight and woke me up. Surprisingly, it didn't wake you guys up. The whole household is already awake." Ranko replied.
"Xan- Shampoo, wake up." Yuka said trying hard to wake her up.
"Yesterday, seems like a dream." Shampoo mumbled.
Apparently, Ranko could hear her.
"What happen yesterday?" Ranko asked curiously.
"Oh curious Ranko, nothing happened."Sayuri said.
"If you say 'nothing', means there is something." Akane said.
"Then what do you expect me to say, something!" Sayuri said back.
"Well, you guys ought to tell me sometime, I don't feel like squeezing it out from you guys today though. That reminds me, mom ask two of you to go squeeze milk from the cows and other two help the other 'experience' maids go help serve breakfast." Ranko said.
"Sayuri and me will go to milk the cows." Yuka quickly said.
"Why are we doing this job again." Sayuri whispered at Yuka.
"Just do so. You don't wanna get scolded by master do you?" Yuka whispered back.
"riiight." Sayuri whispered again.
"So that leave me and you to serve the rick huh?interesting..." Akane said.
"Akane you have fever?" Shampoo asked.
"I'm not suppose to act like this, baka Akane! I suppose to act sweet and caring."Akane thought.
"Akane, akane? You have to concentrate if you don't want get fired." Shampoo said.
"Sorry, I'll be better." Akane quickly replied. "As if"
"Akane, Shampoo follow me. Sayuri and Yuka ermm.. don't follow me. You both know where the cows are, right?" Ranko said.
"Sure we do." Sayuri said.
"Totally." Yuka said.
