Chapter 11- Gone with the Wind

*MANDARIN* 'THOUGHTS' ~SOUNDS~

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

After Ranma got over his shock of kissing Shampoo he finally left the lot, with Shampoo's diary. Ranma was too be busy trying to read to notice where he was walking to, or who he was walking into.

~BUMP~

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR GOIN' IDIOT!" The two yelled in unison.

Ranma looked up to see Yukie getting up. "Oh, its you." Ranma mumbled.

"And its just you." Yukie mumbled as Ranma got up.

She then looked around then looked back angrily at Ranma. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHAMPOO!!!" Yelled Yukie.

Ranma's face immediately turned crimson red. "N-nothing, she just wanted to end the date early." Ranma said averting his eyes away from hers.

Yukie saw him start blushing and one idea popped in her head. "You kissed her didn't you?" Yukie said with a grin on her face.

"IT AIN'T NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Ranma yelled as he tried to walk away because he felt his face grow redder.

But as he walked away he tried to hide Shampoo's diary behind his back, but Yukie snatched it away just as he walked by. "You stole Shampoo's diary???" Yukie asked flabbergasted (hehe, funny word).

Ranma quickly snatched it back, "I DIDN'T STEAL IT YOU IDIOT!!! She dropped it."

"So since she dropped it, that gives you the right to read it?" Yukie said smiling confidently.

"WHAT!?! I WASN'T READING IT!!! I was just taking a glance." Ranma said the last part quietly.

"So, what did it say?" Asked Yukie.

"What? She's your friend. Your supposed to respect her personal property."

"So, your her fiancee. And you should respect her and her personal property." Yukie said confidently.

Ranma sighed in defeat and opened Shampoo's diary to read it. Yukie tried to glance over his shoulder but he kept turning so she couldn't see. Finally she grew impatient and wanted to know what it said. "WHAT DOES IT SAY ALREADY!!!" Yukie yelled.

"Well......." Ranma said while turning the book different directions and squinting at it like he couldn't see.

"Well, what? Does it say anything about me?" Yukie said impatiently.

"Well...um...." Ranma said paging threw the diary.

"FOR GOODNESS SAKE SPIT OUT!!!" Yelled Yukie.

"Madarin." Ranma finally said looking at Yukie.

Yukie looked at him dumbfounded. "MADARIN?!? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?!"

"HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL YOU STUPID UNCUTE IDIOT!! I said Madarin because its written in Madarin. See." Ranma said showing it to Yukie.

Yukie didn't even look because she face-faulted, she quickly recovered though. "YOU LOOKED AT THE DIARY FOR THAT LONG AND YOU JUST NOW REALIZED IT WAS IN MANDARIN!! And you call me an idio....Wait you called me an 'studid uncute idiot'. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!?" Yelled Yukie.

"It means your a stupid uncute idiot. Jeez, a little child could've figured that out. And you wonder why I call you a stupid uncute idiot." Ranma winced as he realized what he said. 'I hope she's not like Akane and pound me with a hammer or anything else.' Thought Ranma.

"I GOT IT!" Yelled Yukie.

Ranma flinched as Yukie yelled, expecting to get hit. "Huh, got what? Your not gonna hit me?" Asked Ranma.

"Oh of course I am. I'm not just gonna let you get away with calling me uncute. But we should get a Mandarin to Japenese book, or Japenese to Mandarin book, and translate her diary." Yukie said excitedly.

Ranma gave her a flat stare. "Your really that determined to read her diary, aren't you?"

"Yep, now lets get going to the Nekohatten. I bet they have lots of those books there." Yukie said grabbing his arm, dragging him to the Nekohatten.

"Bu-but what if Shampoo's there?" Ranma asked nervously as he was being dragged.

Yukie turned around with devilish grin on her face, "Then you can distract Shampoo by making out with her, while I translate her diary."

"WHAT?!?"

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

Shampoo leaned up against a tree in the park. She noticed it was the secluded part of the park where her sister took her to. Shampoo sat there and silently wept. 'Why? Why did he have to kiss me? Does he actually have feelings for me, or is he just leading me on like always? He was so warm and I felt so safe and protected. But now, I'm so confused. I don't know how I feel and I don't know how he feels.'

Shampoo then looked up to the sky angrily. "I HATE YOU RANMA SAOTOME!!!" Shampoo looked back down with a sad smirk on her face. She knew she didn't hate him. She loved him. She loved him more than anything. But she was just confused right now with not being sure if it was worth being this emotional to just stay with him, and probably end up with a broken heart? But she did have some hope in her heart. Somewhere deep down inside was the Amazon that knew she was going to win Ranma. But then it popped in her head. 'This isn't a game and he isn't a prize. He's human just like everyone else. He isn't something to beat on, experiment on, or blame on. But yet thats all we do. No wonder why he hasn't chosen a fiancee yet. So maybe there is still hope for me.'

Shampoo then got up with a look of pure determination in her eyes, but suddenly a huge gust of wind came out of no where and blew her back up against the tree hard. She rubbed her back as the wind started to pick up again. She looked on in amazement as a small whirl wind appeared in front of her. As the whirl wind died down she could see someone in the middle of it. He had long black hair that went down to his thighs and green eyes. He had on a black shirt with a blue vest, and blue pants.

"I am Kuraku Master of Wind. And I am here to kidnap you, Akane Tendou." Said Kuraku.

Shampoo looked at him dumbfoundedly, "I am not Akane Tendou. I am not a kitchen destroying, uncute, violent, tomboyish, macho chick." Shampoo said as calmly as she could.

"Hmph, insulting yourself will not work. All of Ranma's nemesis's know the criteria for Akane Tendou. She has to have short blue hair, lives at the Tendou Dojo, argue with Ranma a lot, hit him a lot, and secretly love him but tell everyone she hates him." Kuraku said confidently.

"I AM NOT AKANE TENDOU! I DO NOT HAVE SHORT BLUE HAIR, I DO NOT LIVE AT THE TENDOU DOJO, I DO NOT ARGUE OR HIT RANMA, AND I CERTAINLY DO NOT HATE HIM! SO THEREFORE I AM NOT AKANE TENDOU, I AM SHAMPOO!!!" Shampoo said out of breath.

"You might not have short blue hair but you could of grown it out and dyed it. Also you could've moved into that place called the Nekohatten, instead of living in the Tendou Dojo. And when I first came here, I saw you and Ranma arguing. Plus, yesterday you two were arguing again. And just a few minutes ago you yelled out you hated, Ranma Saotome, when just barely an hour ago you kissed him. And you are most definantely not Shampoo. She has longer hair than yours, thats styled in two buns and two tails hanging down. And plus, she has been missing for over a month now. So all because you might have the same hair color means nothing. You are Akane Tendou." Said Kuraku satisfied with his answer.

Shampoo looked at him bewildered, "Are some sort of stalker?"

"Hahaha, no. I'm Kuraku Master of Wind and I'm your kidnapper. I will lure Ranma to my lair and I will defeat him. And once I defeat him, you will be my wife." After he said that he gave his evil laugh. But it was still nothing compared to Kodachi's.

"I am not a prize to be won, and I really hope Ranma kicks your ass good for calling me Akane." Shampoo growled.

"No one has yet to defeat The Wind Master." He said confidently.

"Well, thats gonna end soon." Mumbled Shampoo.

"Enough talk, we must go to my lair." He said as tried to grab Shampoos arm.

"Your not taking me anywhere." She hissed.

"I knew this wasn't gonna be easy." He smirked and just simply lifted his hand, swung it, and Shampoo was sent flying full force into the tree.

Shampoo tasted some blood in her mouth and felt the world around her growing dim. The last thing she saw was Kuraku walking towards her smirking.

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

Ranma was sweating bullents as he entered the Nekohatten. He was really hoping Shampoo wasn't there. But as he and Yukie entered they got a little more than they asked for.

"Ranma, is Shampoo with you?" Garland ran up to him worried.

"Umm....well, she ran off." Ranma said nervously.

"Oh no, then she really was kidnapped." Garland said bitting her nails.

"WHAT?!?" Yukie and Ranma yelled in unison.

"Heres the letter." Cologne handed the letter.

It said:

'Ranma Saotome,

I challange you to a match at my lair. I have your dear, purple
haired Akane and if you want her back you must defeat me. Meet me in the cave near the top of the moutains, east of Nerima.
Be there as soon as possible.

Signed,
Kuraku Master of Wind'

Ranma looked at the letter confused. "Does this idiot mean Akane or Shampoo."

"We called the Tendou's and they say Akanes not missing. So were positive it was Shampoo." Said Garland.

"So what should we do?" Asked Yukie looking back to Ranma. But when she looked back he was already out the door.

"Hmmm, that was quick." Said Cologne.

"Zane will be happy about that." Garland said amused a bit.

"Where is he anyways?" Yukie said looking around for him.

"He's up stairs with Mousse, they're trying to keep calm. I told them that this was Ranma's battle, not theirs. Then I sent them to their room." Said Garland.

"Wow, you sound like somebody's mother." Said Yukie while Cologne agreed with her.

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

Meanwhile.....

Ranma was running as fast as he could. He was taking the fastest routes he knew and taking no breaks no matter how tired or cold he was. 'I'm not gonna let you slip through my fingers this time, Shampoo. I'm gonna get you back and I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.'
