Disclaimer: No, I don't own Ranma 1/2, the lucky Rumiko Takahashi does.
A/N: Hey everyone!!! *cough, cough* I'm just getting over a bad cold. Actually it wasn't a bad cold it was just 2 days filled with sneezing, coughing, and lots of tissues. My nose has stopped running and the sneezing has stopped but I'm still coughing a bit. But you wanna know what the worse thing is.......IT RUINED MY VALENTINES DAY!!! All day I couldn't see any of my friends or go to their parties and all the chocolates I got I couldn't taste. And the damn cold only lasted 2 days. If it was going to ruin my Valentines Day it could of at least lasted a week and got me a few days of a school, BUT NOOO!!! Well I hope you all had a nice Valentines Day (unlike me!!) and I hope you all enjoy.

*MANDARIN* 'THOUGHTS' ~SOUNDS~
-----------------------------------------
Ranma looked at the girl in front of him curiously. "How do you know Shampoo?"
"She lived with me this past month with me and my Grandmother in Ohgami." said Yukie.
"Ohh, so your part of her new life. Well you can just take her back since she doesn't wanna be here." Said Ranma walking away.
"WAIT!!!" Yelled Yukie as she grabbed his arm. "Your just gonna let her go that easily? I know you care for her. After what I saw happen back there I know you do. But she doesn't know that. She thinks you hate her."
"I don't hate her." Mumbled Ranma.
"I already know that, but she doesn't. Look I don't know what happened to get her to run away like that but I think you all should just put that behind you." Said Yukie.
"I don't need the help from someone I don't know. And you might know Shampoo but you have nothing to do with this." Said Ranma glaring at her.
"I know her better than you do." Said Yukie glaring back.
"I've known Shampoo for over a year now, and you've only known her for a month. What makes you think you know her better than me?" Said Ranma confidently.
"Ok, since you know her so well you can answer a few questions about her. Like whats her favorite color? Whats her favorite food? Whats her favorite thing to do? Whats her favorite sport? Those are easy enough questions. So Ranma, answer them." said Yukie confidently.
Ranma looked at her nervously and started sweating bullets, "Well......um....I-I guess...."
"You don't know do you? You've known her for over a year now and you don't even know the simplest things about her. Thats pathetic." Said Yukie shaking her head.
"HEY SHUT-UP!!! IT WOULDN'T BE SO EASY IF YOU HAD TO GET TO KNOW ALL THREE OF YOUR FIANCE'S" Yelled Ranma.
Yukie looked at Ranma wide-eyed. "Sh...Shampoo's your fiance??" Ranma nodded his head. "And you have two other fiance's??" Yukie asked still wide- eyed.
"Yea, but thats not including Kodachi." Said Ranma nervously rubbing the back of his neck.
Yukie let this all sink in. "So you have four, four fiances all togther??" Ranma nodded 'yes' again. Yukie let this sink in even more this time and then went off, "YOU PERVERT!!! NO WONDER WHY SHE RAN AWAY!!! I WOULD'VE DONE IT SOONER IF I WAS HER!! AND SHE STILL ACTUALLY CARES FOR YOU?!?"
"I AM NOT A PERVERT!!! AND THE REASON WHY SHE NEVER RAN AWAY IS BECAUSE SHE'S IN LOVE WITH ME, I THINK!!! AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I HAVE THREE FIANCES IS BECAUSE OF SHAMPOO'S AMAZON LAWS, MY POPS TRADING ME FOR FOOD, AND MY POPS MAKING PROMISES TO MARRY ME OFF TO PEOPLE BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN!!! AND I DON'T EVEN COUNT MY FORTH FIANCE BECAUSE SHE'S A COMPLETE PHSYCHO!!!" Yelled Ranma as he took a deep breath at the end.
"So she loves you? That explain why she broke down crying after your little argument with her. But answer me this, do you love her?" Asked Yukie.
Ranma was caught offguard, "Sh...Shampoo started crying?" Asked Ranma concerned and also trying to avoid answering her question.
"Yes, she started crying. Now answer my question." Demanded Yukie.
Ranma really wanted to avoid that question. That was the second time that day he was asked that question and the first time he answered that he was unsure and he still was, but of course it was that same day he answered it. "Well.....no I guess I don't." Said Ranma nervously.
Yukie shook her head in dissapointment. "Well, before I go I wanna tell you something." She put her hand on Ranma's shoulder and continued. "Right now Shampoo is hurt and confused. And I guess the reason why she left last time was because of you. But you should fix that and talk to her because if she was hurt that bad that she would runaway, I would wanna fix things before she tries to do it again. And you should really try to get to know her better. Because I can understand why you wouldn't love her if you didn't know her. So it wouldn't kill you to try to get to know her. Oh and one more thing...." Yukie started to squeeze his shoulder hard enough to make him wince a bit. "...Shampoo IS like a sister to me. Even though I've only known her for a month, I can say its been the best month of my life. And even though we won't be living together anymore we will keep in contact. And is she ever calls me in tears talking about how you broke her heart and shattered her dreams. You WILL regret it."
Yukie let go of the grip on his shoulders, "You got me?" Asked Yukie. Ranma just nodded. "Good!!! It was nice talking to ya. See Ya!!!" She yelled bubbly as she walked away.
Ranma just looked shocked at the girl as she walked away happily. He then felt a shooting pain in his shoulder and rubbed it. "Man, how the hell does Shampoo pick her friends?" Ranma asked himself as he began walking towards the dojo again.
-----------------------------------------
Shampoo looked up at the sign in front of her. She knew once she entered the Nekohatten she would probably be bombarded with questions. But she didn't want to answer them right now. All she wanted to do was go to her room and get some sleep. Shampoo took a deep breath and prepared for the worse as she entered the Nekohatten.
As she entered Mousse immediately jumped out of his seat and clung on to the coat rack. "OH SHAMPOO, I KNEW YOU WOULD NEVER RUNAWAY!!! GARLAND TOLD US THE WHOLE STORY!! OH HOW I MISSED YOU SO!!!"
Shampoo looked at him warily. "I hate to admit but I sort of missed you too." Shampoo said as she walked passed him and the coat rack.
"Y-YOU DID?!? OH HAPPY DAYS!!!" Yelled Mousse as he tried to follow Shampoo's voice and ended up clinging on to Cologne.
Cologne immediately hit him upside the head and knocked him out. "Maybe next time you should wear your glasses boy."
While this was all happening Shampoo immediately glomped onto her big brother. "ZANE!!! I MISSED YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I'M SORRY I LEFT YOU!!"
"Thats ok. Even though I still have a few questions to ask you. Like why......" Zane was cut off when Shampoo started looking at him with puppy dog eyes. "WHAT?!? Why are you giving me the puppy eyes?" asked Zane trying to look away.
"Please I don't feel like answering questions right now. I'm tired and I've had a bad day. I'll answer all your questions tommorow. I promise." Shampoo said giving him a bright smile.
"Ok....but you better still be here." Zane said as he kissed his sisters forehead and headed off to his room.
"So Great-Granddaughter, enjoy your vacation?" asked Cologne from behind her.
Shampoo took a big gulp and turned around to her Great-Grandmother but before she could even open her mouth her Great-Grandmother started to speak again. "Shush child, I know your tired and you don't want to answer questions so we'll talk tommorow. All I have to say right now is that I am disappointed that you couldn't handle this like an Amazon." Shampoo looked at the floor ashamed. "But I am happy that you've come back to us Shampoo. I've been worried sick about you. Now come give your Great-Grandmother a hug."
Shampoo looked up towards her Great-Grandmother and saw that she was choking back tears. "Oh Great-Grandmother I missed you too. I'm so sorry I made you worry." Said Shampoo crying tears of joy as she hugged her Great- Grandmother.
"We'll talk about it tommorow. Now stop crying and go get some rest. I don't want anybody to see a respected elder like me crying."
"Ok, good-night." Said Shampoo as she walked up the stairs.
"Good-night Shampoo." Said Cologne smiling the first time in a month.
-----------------------------------------
As Shampoo opened the door to her room she saw Garland laying on her bed reading a magazine. "Hey Poohpooh, you find Ranma and talk to him yet?" Asked Garland looking up from her magazine scooting over so Shampoo can lay down.
"I don't want to talk about it." Said Shampoo as she landed head first in her pillow.
"Did you find him?"
"Mmmmm" Shampoo mummbled in her pillow.
"Ok, I'll take that as a yes. So what did you talk about?" Asked Garland.
"Mmmm. Mm. Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm."
Garland gave her sister a flat stare. "Ok I didn't understand one bit of that so......" Garland took Shampoo's hair and started to pull it so she would lift her head up. "...you'll have to repeat that."
"Ow, ok I'll talk." said Shampoo rubbing her head. "Well....um..we talked. And thats it."
"Do I have to ask him myself." asked Garland annoyed.
"NO!!! Ok, well we got into an argument and he stormed off and left me." Shampoo said with her head hung low.
"Awww, I'm sorry. What made you two get in a argument?" Asked Garland putting her arm around Shampoo trying to comfrort.
"Well, I...I don't want to talk about it right now."
"*sigh* Ok I'll go get the other futon and lay it in here sice there isn't enough room in your bed. Goodnight Shampoo." Garland said as she looked back at her sister sadly as she exited the room to get the futon.
"Goodnight Garland." Shampoo said as she turned around in her bed to face the wall. Shampoo felt happy that she was back but it felt as if there was still a lot missing, like she wasn't complete. She closed her eyes tight trying to hold back the tears that fell down.
-----------------------------------------
When Ranma finally made it back to the Tendou's they were all asking questions about Shampoo. Well all except Akane who went to bed early with her P-chan. Ranma just ignored them all because they were all asking ridiculos questions like 'What were you and that girl doing in the park alone?'. And the questions only got worse so he decided to go to bed early.
But when he thought that all the trouble with Shampoo would end when he went to sleep, it didn't end there. He ended up having a dream about her.
~DREAM~
Ranma was standing at what look like to be the edge of some woods at night. When he turned to look towards his side he saw a huge cliff and in the background a huge moon. But what caught his attention was the girl standing on the cliff. She had on a long white dress that was sleeves and strapless. It looked sort of like a wedding dress. She had long purple flowing hair that moved with the wind. She looked like an angel with the rose petals flowing with the wind. Ranma stared at her with awe because he knew exactly who it was. "Shampoo...." he whispered.
She turned around to look at him. She was crying. Ranma tried to run to her but he was getting nowhere. He tried to run faster but she began to fade away. Ranma started to feel himself panic. "SHAMPOO!!!" he yelled.
And then it seemed like at a blink off an eye he was standing right in front of her. When Ranma looked into her eyes all he saw was pain. When he saw that all he wanted to do was take away the pain. Then he did something he never expected to do. He embraced her.
But there was something strange about this. She wasn't embracing him back. Ranma looked at her again and saw that now she didn't have pain in her eyes she was angry. "Let go of me." Said Shampoo threatningly.
"No, I'm not letting go of you again." Said Ranma embracing her closer to him.
"Ranma...." Shampoo whispered in his ear.
Ranma smiled. "I lo....."
Shampoo cut him off by pushing him away. She had a sad smile on her face. "You don't love me. And don't lie. You hate me. And you know what? I HATE YOU TOO!!!" Yelled Shampoo as she walked off the cliff.
"SHAMPOO!!!" Yelled Ranma trying to grab her but ended up grabbing nothing.
~~~END OF DREAM~~~
Ranma woke up breathing hard. "Dammit, I need to start eating again."
-----------------------------------------
Yea, I know. The dream was real WAFFY. And if you didn't get the dream, well....I didn't either. But thats what happens. Its really hard to understand dreams. Well I hope you liked it anyways. CYA!!
