Chapter 4-A Full Moon

*MANDARIN* 'THOUGHTS' ~SOUNDS~

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

Everyone moved inside to get out of the rain. Shampoo was to busy looking at the mirror at her new cursed form. Miroku and Shippo were boiling her some hot water while Inuyasha was in the corner scowling at her.

"So you lied about you turning into a cat when you really turn into a half- demon." Said Inuyasha scowling at her even more.

"I DIDN'T LIE!!! I don't know why I didn't turn into a cat. I should of." said Shampoo still looking at her half-demon form in the mirror.

"Maybe its the ring the old lady gave you." said Shippo giving her the hot water.

"Yea, maybe your right." She started yanking at the ring but it wouldn't come off. "AIYA!!! IT ISN'T COMING OFF!!!" she yelled as she yanked at her finger even more.

Inuyasha smirked to himself and got out Tetsusaigu. "I know how to get that ring off."

Shampoo looked at him wide-eyed and got out her bonbori and threw it at him. "LIKE HELL YOU ARE!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU JACK-ASS!!!" yelled Shampoo.

Inuyasha got back up in her face immediately. "NOW HOW THE HELL IS THIS MY FAULT?!?"

"YOU HATE ME, SO..... IT'S YOUR FAULT!!!" yelled Shampoo.

"YEA, I DO HATE YOU!! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN PULL SOMETHING LIKE THIS OFF!!!" yelled Inuyasha getting in her face some more.

"You know, your actually right about that." said Shampoo backing down.

Inuyasha backed away shocked. He didn't think she would give up so easily. But now that she did he was going to rub it in her face. "YEA!!! I AM RIGHT!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!"

"You couldn't do anything like that because your an idiot." said Shampoo calmly.

"YEA!!! I'M......WAIT I'M NOT AN IDIOT!!!" said Inuyasha now realizing what she said.

"You just admitted it yourself." said Shampoo calmly.

"WHY YOU...." said Inuyasha about to swing when Miroku got in the way.

"You two should just stop arguing now. Your just making things worse Inuyasha." said Miroku glaring at Inuyasha. "Now Shampoo, let me help you get that ring off." said Miroku getting close beside Shampoo.

Shampoo was a little suspicious at first. But then she felt something groping her butt. When she finally realized that only one of Miroku's hands was trying to pull off the ring, she pulled out her other bonbori.

~WHACK~

"YOU PERVERT!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD TRY TO GET FREE GROPES OFF OF ME!!!" yelled Shampoo her face bright red.

"It was worth a shot." said Miroku from the spot he was laying at on the ground.

Shampoo began to collect her bonbori's and leave. Inuyasha began to look cheerful. "Are you leaving?" asked Inuyasha gleefully.

"No, I'm not." Shampoo smiled to herself when she saw his smirk disappear. "Shippo since your not a pervert. Can you show me where some hot springs are."

"Sure, but its about to get dark. Are you sure you wanna go now?" asked Shippo.

"I can take care of myself." said Shampoo confidently.

"Ok, lets go then." said Shippo.

"Oh, before we go. You two better not follow us. Or I swear I'll use my sword on the both of you." said Shampoo giving them both a dangerous glare.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU?!?" asked Inuyasha.

"Because, your both perverts and you two would leer at me while I'm bathing." said Shampoo walking out.

"I'M NOT A PERVERT DAMMIT!!!" yelled Inuyasha.

"You know she's gone right?" asked Miroku who was now back up.

"I hate her. I hate her. I HATE HER!!!" yelled Inuyasha.

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

Ranma-chan and P-chan had finally got out the rain. And of course once they had got out the rain, it had completely stopped. "For someone who carries an umbrella all the time, you think you would use it more." said Ranma-chan as she went to the bath-room with P-chan and his clothes in her arms.

After they both transformed and Ryouga got his clothes on they walked back out into the street. "Where were we supposed to meet the others at?" asked Ryouga

"At the Inn down the street." Ranma started to walk towards the Inn while Ryouga went the opposite way. "RYOUGA, THIS WAY!!!" yelled Ranma as he grabbed his hand and began to drag him down the street.

When they got to the Inn, everyone was there. Ukyou ran up to him and gave him a hug. "Ran-chan, oh I was so worried. Why are you late?" asked Ukyou suspiciously.

"Ummm....did any of you find Shampoo?" said Ranma nervously and changing the subject.

Ukyou just gave him an evil glare and walked back to her seat. Everyone shook their heads no. "Not one clue. We went back to the camp site but it was completely trashed." said Mousse sadly.

"Well we found the demon that attacked us dead. And we also found some of Shampoo's clothing by it. So we think that someone saved. So at least we know that she's alive." said Ranma.

Everyone just sat there in silence until the bartender walked over. He looked at them strangely then asked a question. "Is any of you named Ranma Saotome?"

Ranma looked at him curiously. "Yea, thats me. Why you wanna know?"

"Well, there was a girl here who was look for a group of 8 people. Two teenage girls, 3 teenage boys, and 3 old men. And she said that one would have either red hair tied in a pig-tail or black hair tied in a pig-tail. And their name would be Ranma Saotome." said the bartender.

Ranma quickly jumped up and was immediately in his face grabbing him by the collar shaking him. "DID SHE HAVE PURPLE HAIR?!?" asked Ranma shaking the bartender fiercely.

"Yea, she did. Now can you put me down?" asked the bartender nervously.

Ranma calmed himself down and put the man down. "Is she here in town?" asked Ranma calmly.

The bartender shook himself off. "No, she's staying in the woods with a monk, a little fox demon, and a half-demon. They help slay the demons that come here."

"WHAT?!? YOUR JUST GONNA LET HER STAY WITH DEMONS?!?" yelled Mousse now in his face with Ranma.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?" yelled Ranma.

"Wha...what? She's safe with them. They're good. Really. Just please don't hurt me." said the bartender now begging on his knees.

Ranma calmed himself down again. "Where do they stay at in the woods?" asked Ranma.

"I...I...I don't know. But I know that the Monk comes here each day to shop and do exocercisms. So if you stay here you'll probably see him here tommorow and you can ask him. I'll....I'll even let you stay here free of charge." said the bartender nevously.

"WOW!!! Your really a nice guy." said Ranma slapping the bartender on the back hard.

Everyone sweat dropped. "Sure...nice guy. I'll just show you all to your rooms now." said the bartender rubbing his back.

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

Shampoo was soaking in one of the hot springs her and Shippo found. She asked Shippo if he would be ok going back alone, but he said he would be ok. Shampoo was trying to relax, but she just had too many things on her mind. 'I really hope Ranma's ok. Well he probably is ok since he ran away with Akane. OHH.....I swear if she did anything to him, I'll kill her then I'll....I'll...I'll hit Ranma really hard. Yep, thats what I'll do. But I can't find out with me here with that pervert and half-demon. But I'm going to have to stay here. I know I don't want to, but I have to. And who does that Inuyasha think he is. All because he saves me he think he can just yell at me and call me names.' "Stupid Inuyasha." she mumbled.

~RUSTLE~

Shampoo looked towards the bushes behind her. 'Its probably Inuyasha and Miroku. THOSE PERVERTS!!!'. Slowly Shampoo reached for her bonbori's and threw them at the bush.

~BONK~

She quickly grabbed her towel, wrapped it around her and ran towards the bush. "A-HA!!!" She yelled as she looked behind the bush. "What the hell?" Shampoo picked up the thing that had been behind the bush. "A monkey??? What the hell is a monkey doing in the woods? You know what, I'm not even going to ask questions. I'm not even going to think about it. I'm going back." she said as she threw the monkey and went to go put on her extra Chinese clothes. (Don't ask me where she got them.)

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

'Dammit its another full moon.' Inuyasha thought. 'And what a perfect time for it to come too. I should just leave before that Shampoo girl comes back and laughs about me being a human.' "I'm gonna go for a walk." said Inuyasha as he began to walk out the door.

"But Inuyasha, your going to be vunerable to all the demons." said Miroku.

"So, I can take care of myself. If that girl can then I can." said Inuyasha.

"Well at least take Shippo with you." said Miroku.

"HELL NO!!! He'll just get in the way." said Inuyasha.

"HEY!!! No I wouldn't. At least I wouldn't be as weak as you." said Shippo.

Inuyasha grabbed Shippo and gave him a few lumps on his head. "Does that fell weak to you?"

Shippo just glared at him evilly and mumbled under his breath "stupid Inuyasha"

"I'm leaving now." said Inuyasha as he walked out.

"~sigh~ He never listens." said Miroku.

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

Shampoo was walking with her guard up. You never know if a demon would jump out at you. It would've been darker if it wasn't for the moon. Shampoo then heard a rustle. 'Not another monkey.' she thought.

She then started to walk towards where the rustling came from. She saw that there was an opening leading to a cliff. She saw a figure going up to the edge of the cliff and sitting down. 'OH NO!!! Thats to big to be a monkey. Maybe its a gorilla. Ok I have to get the monkey idea out of my head. Its a demon. Now what to do. Maybe it won't notice if I walk away slowly. NO!!! I'll kill it. Then I'll brag to Inuyasha how I killed a demon on my own. HA!!! That'll make him feel even more like an idiot.'

Shampoo got herself in position. And threw both of her bonbori's then immediately got out her sword.

~BONK~

Shampoo started running towards the figure with her sword in hand. She then stopped when she heard the figure say "OW!!!" She was right behind the figure and could tell it had two big lumps.

The figure turned around "Inuyasha..." she whispered.

"What the hell was that for?!?" asked Inuyasha standing up

Shampoo was still speechless. She was looking directly at Inuyasha into his eyes. Except there was one thing different about him. He wasn't a half- demon anymore. He was human. He had no dog ears, no fangs, no silver hair, no glowing eyes, and no claws. Instead he had black hair, and regular human ears, eyes, and hands.

Shampoo came back to reality when Inuyasha started knocking at her head. "HEY!!! DON'T YOU HEAR ME WHY DID YOU HIT ME?!?" asked Inuyasha agitated.

"Well, I thought you were a demon and I was going to kill you." said Shampoo nervously.

"WHAT!?! So you were planning to knock them out with these to balls on a stick." said Inuyasha.

"THEY'RE NOT BALLS ON A STICK!!! They're bonbori's and I had my sword so I was going to kill it with that." said Shampoo.

"Feh, yea right." said Inuyasha crossing his arms.

"Why are you human?" asked Shampoo curiously.

"It ain't none of your buisness." snapped Inuyasha.

"Fine. I just wanted to know because you seemed cuter as a human." said Shampoo mentally slapping herself. 'DAMMIT!!! I didn't mean to say that. OH NO!! I'M BLUSHING!!'

Inuyasha was taken back by this. He never expected her to say something like that. 'DAMMIT!!! Why did she say that. Maybe she was just kidding. NO, SHE WASN'T BECAUSE SHE'S BLUSHING. She looks sort of cuter when she blushes. DAMMIT!!! NOW I'M BLUSHING!!!'

Shampoo looked up to see that Inuyasha was now blushing too. 'I love Ranma, and I shouldn't think of Inuyasha like that. Even though Inuyasha sort of does remind me of Ranma in his human form. But they're two totally different people, so I shouldn't have feelings for Inuyasha in any way, because he's a jack-ass. Even though he is cute when he's a demon too. DAMMIT!!! STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!!'

Inuyasha looked up to see her blush even more. 'I love Kagome, and I HATE SHAMPOO. I shouldn't even think that she's cute. Even though her attitude makes her cuter in both her demon form and human form. AHH!!! NO I HATE HER!!! She's just a distraction. A really cute distraction. NOOO!!! STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!!'

They both looked up at each other. Their faces were both bright red. Shampoo quickly changed the subject. "Ummm...do...do you want to go back to the shelter now?" asked Shampoo nervously.

"Ummm....sure yea. Lets go." said Inuyasha nervously.

The whole time they walked back they were blushing. They couldn't even look each other in the eyes without blushing. And when they finally got back to the cabin, Inuyasha jumped up on the roof so he could have some alone time while Shampoo went to sleep. Well of course before she went to sleep she had to punch Miroku for groping her again. Things just seemed to be getting worse and worse.
