Chapter 6-Kyoko or Shampoo?

*MANDARIN* 'THOUGHTS' ~SOUNDS~

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

Kyoko woke up with a splitting headache. She didn't know where she was or why she had passed out. She started to open her eyes. At first everything seemed sort of blurry but it started to clear up. She saw and heard some people around her. She heard someone say that she was either waking up or that they're baking buns.

When she saw things clearly now she saw all the girls who went on the field trip with her standing around her looking worried. "Where are we at, and what happened to me?" asked Kyoko with a half-way dazed look on her face.

"Well you passed out on the bus and none of us are sure why. And we are in the town of Nerima in the doctors office. The doctor is with another patient right now but he said he would see you soon." said Yukie.

Kyoko's face turned green. She had a horrified look on her face that was making everyone around her even more worried. 'OH NO!!! I can't be here, I don't want to be here, I DON'T WANT TO BE SHAMPOO!!! NO NO NO!!! This is just a bad dream, a very bad dream.....if this is a bad dream then why does everything hurt? Why does it feel like my heart is about to jump out my chest? I just can't, I can't be here and I can't see Ranma. I don't want to see him here with Akane. All this time I've been gone they're probably a happy couple right now. OH NO!!! I'M ABOUT TO CRY!!!'

Yukie was really concerned now. Kyoko was acting really strange. "Umm....Kyoko, are you ok?" said Yukie placing her hand on Kyoko's shoulder to comfort her.

Kyoko immediately snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Yukie speak. For one small moment Yukie saw all of Kyoko's emotions in her eyes. She saw that she felt scared, alone, angery, depressed, confused, and sad. Kyoko quickly shook that off and answered Yukies question and changed the subject. "Um...yea I'm ok. Where are the boys at?"

"Um, well they went to the home they're staying at. Were staying at a different home though. I think they said the family that they'll be staying with is the Kuno's" said Yukie looking suspicious.

"Oh, ok." Kyoko wanted to crack up when she heard that they were staying with the most crazyest family in Nerima. She was feeling really sorry for them right about now.

Yukie was really starting to get suspicious over how Kyoko was acting. 'Whats with all the emotions. I've never seen her display any of those emotions before. It's like she's hiding something. And I'm gonna find out what it is..... no matter what.'

"Hey Yukie, you ok?" asked Kiki who was standing right beside her.

"Huh?? Yea sure I was just wondering Kyoko, why...." Yukie was cut off when they heard someone walk through the door.

"Hi, my name is Dr.Tofu and I will......." Dr.Tofu completely stopped when he saw the purple haired girl who was sitting up on the table they layed her at looking at him wide-eyed. "....Shampoo?"

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

Ranma and Garland came in the Nekohatten looking exhausted. Cologne was waiting at the door. "Oh back already. Any luck?" said Cologne.

"Do you see any Shampoo with us?" said Ranma snapping back.

"No, sorry Great-Gran...." Garland was cut off when a excited Mousse ran out the kitchen grabbed Garland and started hugging her.

"SHAMPOO!!! OH I'M SO GLAD YOUR BACK!!! I THOUGHT I WOULD NEV-OUCH!!!" Mousse was cut off when Cologne hit him upside the head.

"Mousse how many times do I have to tell you. Everytime the door opens doesn't mean it's Shampoo. *Sigh* And you wonder why nobody's been coming in. Are you ok Garland?" said Cologne looking twards Garland who was staring at the unconcious Mousse.

"Yea, of course. I'm used to Mousse mistaking me for Shampoo. It always happened when Shampoo was back in the village. I'll go drag him to the back so he doesn't freak out anymore customers." said Garland grabbing Mousse and dragging him back.

As soon as Garland was in the back with Mousse, Cologne started to talk to Ranma again. "She's a sweet girl don't you agree?"

"Huh??? Yea, she is. Has Shampoo's brother come back yet?" said Ranma.

"No, not yet. He's very determined to find her. But I really don't think he's very fond of you anyways. He's a very over-protective brother and blames you for losing Shampoo. So I think it would be best if you stay out of his way." said Cologne.

"Yea, I've heard. I wanted to talk to him about that." said Ranma.

"Talk to me about what?" Ranma turned around to see Zane standing behind him.

"I wanted to talk to you about Shampoo." said Ranma.

"There's nothing to talk about. You lost Shampoo and thats it." said Zane who was about to walk to the back where Garland was until Ranma jumped in front of him.

"I DID NOT LOSE SHAMPOO!!! LOOK I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU HATE!!! THE ONLY THING I WANT TO GET THROUGH YOUR HEAD IS THAT I DIDN'T LOSE SHAMPOO!!!"

"YEA RIGHT!!! YOU PROBABLY WANTED HER TO GET LOST SO YOU COULD GET MARRIED TO ONE OF THOSE WHORES!!!" yelled Zane.

"THATS IT!!!" Ranma started to get in his fighting stance, when Zane noticed this he immediately got into his.

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP!!!" they both got out of their fighting stance when Garland jumped in between them. "YOU TWO ARE JUST MAKING THIS SITUATION SO MUCH BETTER" she said sarcastically.

"HE STARTED IT!!!" Yelled Ranma and Zane in unison.

"I DON'T CARE WHOSE FAULT IT IS!!! ALL I WANT TO DO IS FIND MY SISTER, AND THE ONLY THING YOU TWO BEEN DOING IS ARGUING!! I DON'T CARE IF ITS RANMA'S FAULT. IF IT IS I KNOW IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT AND THAT HE DOES CARE FOR SHAMPOO. EVEN IF ITS JUST A LITTLE. AT LEAST HE'S TRYING TO FIX IT!!!"

Both Zane and Ranma stared at the ground with guilty looks on their face. "Now if you'll excuse me I'll be taking a walk." Garland said as she walked out without looking back.

Ranma and Zane were still looking at the ground guilty. Ranma was the first to speak up. "I guess I'll go get some rest now." with that said Ranma walked out.

"Yea, I'm gonna get some rest too. I'll look for Shampoo later." said Zane walking off towards the guest room.

Cologne just stood there shocked. "I just hope we find Shampoo soon." said Cologne in a whisper.

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

Kyoko just sat there shocked. She had never thought to ask which doctors office they went to. But now it was too late. He knew perfectly well who she was. Their teacher was talking to Dr.Tofu in the other room about what happened. She had just came out when Dr.Tofu introduced himself. "Kyoko is the one sitting up on the table." the teacher said.

Dr.Tofu was still in shock and didn't hear her speak. That was definately Shampoo who was sitting on the table. Even though instead of her regular hairstyle she had her hair completely down, no two buns or tails. And instead of her usual Chinese outfit she had on a pink T-shirt with jeans. He still couldn't believe his eyes and as reality started to kick in he started to get excited. "SHAMPOO IT IS YOU!!!" yelled Dr.Tofu.

Yukie was starting to get angry. "Excuse me, but I'm sorry to say that there isn't anyone here with the name Shampoo."

"Yes, there is. Her name is Shampoo the Amazon. Isn't that right Shampoo?" said Dr.Tofu pointing to her.

"No, her name is Kyoko Minami of the Anything Goes Dancing Martial Arts. Isn't that right Kyoko?" said Yukie annoyed.

Shampoo just nodded her head. Dr.Tofu looked at her confused. "No, she must of lost her memory or something. I know she's Shampoo. I can call Ranma and bring him up...."

Dr.Tofu was cut off when Kyoko/Shampoo started yelling. "NO!!!"

Everyone was just looking at her confused. The teacher finally spoke up again. "All the girls except Yukie and Kyoko leave the room."

Everyone left the room whispering. Kyoko/Shampoo just had a horrified look on her face and she was shaking slightly. Yukie just stared at her confused. "Kyoko, whats going on? Do you know this man?" Kyoko/Shampoo just sat there looking down not answering. Yukie finally snapped. "ANSWER ME DAMMIT!!!"

The teacher had put her hand on Yukies shoulder to calm her down. "Yukie, calm down. There are probably questions the doctor need to ask too." said the teacher.

Dr.Tofu walked up to Kyoko/Shampoo. He saw that she had tears forming in her eyes. He put his hand on her shoulder. "It's ok. I know you remember me. Everybody's been looking for you, even your brother and sister has come to look for you." She looked up shocked at him. "Yes, we've all been worried and everyone is going to be glad your home."

"This isn't my home. This was never my home. I never came back because I didn't want to come back. So please call me Kyoko, not Shampoo." She said with tears now falling freely.

"Wait. So you knew who you were all the time?" asked Yukie who was now crying too. Kyoko/Shampoo just looked at her sadly. "So your real name is Shampoo. Well you better start using it again because you sure in hell ain't coming back with me." Said Yukie quietly but loud enough for her to hear and ran out to who knows where.

"Wait, Yukie, come back! You don't know where you're going to!!!" said her teacher running after her.

Dr.Tofu looked at Shampoo sadly. She was whispering something over and over again and everytime she said it she said it louder. Then she finally yelled it, "I'M NOT STAYING HERE!!!" with that said she ran out the door but she ran the opposite way of Yukie.

Dr.Tofu looked shock, but finally snapped out of it. He ran towards the phone and started dialing a number. "Hello, Kasumi......I've found Shampoo.....She was just here a second ago. She came with a school that was visiting here from out of town......She just ran off and I'm not sure where to but I think she's planning to leave again and we ought to hurry up and find her before she gets too far.......Yes I'll call Cologne and the others and let them know...Bye."

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

Garland felt the tears roll down her face. Ranma and Zane couldn't put aside their differences for one second. Not even for Shampoo. Garland knew Ranma cared for Shampoo but not as much as that Akane girl. She wanted Ranma to love Shampoo because she knew Shampoo loved Ranma. All the letters Shampoo wrote to her always had something about her loving Ranma, and Shampoo always getting hurt at the end but saying that she'll love him no matter what. But now Garland knows that Shampoo finally got her heart torn apart and even though she hadn't heard or seen her sister she felt it. And it hurt like hell.

"I just want the best for you Shampoo. But why can't the best be here with us" whispered Garland to herself. Garland heard herself crying. But then she realized that she wasn't crying that loud. She looked up but once she looked up she was knocked down. She looked up and saw purple hair. She noticed the purple hair wasn't hers.

The girl who ran into her looked up with tears running down her face. Garland was so shocked she could barely speak. "Sh....S...Sha....Sh....Shampoo???"

The only response she got in return was Shampoo giving her a big hug and started crying into her chest even harder mumbling "It hurts. It hurts so much Garland."

Garland just held her sister tightly. Stroking her hair trying to comfort her. She felt even more tears run down her face. She was happy that her little sister was back but to see her in so much emotional pain made her even more sad. "Shhhhh... I'm here now. Just let it all out and I promise we'll make things better." said Garland whispering it in her ear.
