Chapter 5-Shampoo meets Kouga

*MANDARIN* 'THOUGHTS' ~SOUNDS~

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

Ranma got up earlier than usual. He was actually the first one up. He hurried to washed up, and got dressed. Ranma was very anxious. All he wanted to do was get Shampoo and return home. So many things were going through his head right now like why was Shampoo staying with demons and a monk. She could've just stayed in town. But that really didn't matter now, he could just ask her later.

As Ranma reached the bottom of the stairs he saw the bartender from the other day. "Hey!" yelled Ranma walking up to the bartender.

The bartender just looked at Ranma frightened and barely managed to say hi back. "Um.....H....H..Hi." said the bartender shaking.

"I just wanted to thank you for the help and the rooms. Why did you give the rooms to us for free?" asked Ranma who didn't notice the man was now shaking.

"Ummm.....It was ju...just a kind jesture." said the bartender nervously and thought 'I didn't want to die.'

"Well thanks. Anyways when does the monk or whoever usually get here?" asked Ranma sitting himself at the table they were sitting at the other day.

"Umm....well...uhhh..." The bartender looked like he was going to have a panic attack or a heart attack. "Well.....I...I....I don't know. Just please don't hurt me. I don't like pain." said the bartender getting on his hands and knees pleading again.

Ranma just gave the man a confused look. 'The sooner we got of here the better.' Ranma thought to himself. "Ok...well can I have some breakfast?" asked Ranma still looking at the man confused.

"Su...sure, a...anything you want. I'll get you todays special. And yo...you won't have to pay for that either." said the bartender trying to give him a fake smile.

"Wow, maybe we should stay here longer for more free service." said Ranma smiling to the bartender.

The bartender gave a nervous laugh. "That would just be great!!!" yelled the bartender trying not to cry as he walked away. 'I have to quit this job and get out of this town. First the demons and now this. I just have to get out of here.'

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

Shampoo could barely get any sleep. One of the reasons was because she was worried about Ranma, the other reason was making sure Miroku wouldn't grope her while she slept, and the other was the little incident with Inuyasha. She decided that she would just forget all about it and hope that Inuyasha would forget.

As for Inuyasha he also barely got any sleep. The whole night he just kept on repeating to himself that he loves Kagome and hates the ugly purple haired girl Shampoo. Since that wasn't really working he decided that he was going to act like that incident with Shampoo never happened and that hopefully she wouldn't bring it up.

When Shampoo woke up she smelled something good. Shampoo saw that no one was inside so she went outside. When she got out there she saw Miroku and Shippo sitting around the fire eating and Inuyasha laying on a nearby tree limb. When they both saw each other they immediately averted their eyes in the opposite direction.

"Good morning Shampoo, sleep well?" asked Miroku handing her a plate to eat.

"Sort of, and no I'm not hungry right now." said Shampoo giving him a small smile trying to be polite.

Miroku had just finished his plate and got up. "Well I'm about to go into town. Would you like to come with me Shampoo to look for your friends?" asked Miroku hoping she wouldn't get suspicious that he was going to try something even though he was.

"I do want to find my friends, but I just want to make sure they're alright. I wanted to explore a bit since I'll be staying here until the demon problem is solved." said Shampoo.

Inuyasha immediately jumped off the tree he was on and landed right in front of Shampoo. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOUR STAYING HERE?!?" Yelled Inuyasha.

"What I mean is that I'm staying here. I've said this before." said Shampoo.

"NO YOU HAVEN'T AND YOUR NOT STAYING HERE!!! YOUR TOO MUCH OFF A DISTRACTION AND WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE DEMON PROBLEM OURSELVES!" Yelled Inuyasha.

"DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO YELL?!?" Shampoo yelled back.

"IF IT GETS THROUGH THAT THICK HEAD OF YOURS THEN YEA!!!" Yelled Inuyasha.

"WHY YOU...." Shampoo got out her bonbori and started to swing it at his head but kept on missing.

"HA!!! TOO SLOW!!" said Inuyasha tauntingly.

"STOP MOVING AND TAKE YOUR BEATING LIKE A MAN....OR DEMON...OR WHATEVER!!!" said Shampoo still swinging.

They both stopped when they noticed Miroku and Shippo walking away. Both Shampoo and Inuyasha asked them in unison, "Hey!! Where are you two going?"

"We're going to the town. We're not just gonna sit here and watch you two fight all day." said Shippo still walking.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" said Inuyasha pointing to Shampoo.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CALLING 'THIS'!?!" said Shampoo with her aura blazing.

"Wasn't I pointing to you." said Inuyasha smugly.

"I'M NOT AN 'IT'!! I'M A HUMAN BEING OR A HALF DEMON OR WHATEVER!!!"

"Thats pathetic, you don't even know what you are." said Inuyasha teasing her.

"SHUT UP!!!" Yelled Shampoo.

"Inuyasha, why don't you show Shampoo around. And try not to start anymore fights." said Miroku before they could continue arguing again. Miroku and Shippo then walked off and out of sight.

Inuyasha growled. He didn't want to spend his whole day with her. He knew she was going to cause some kind of trouble. 'DAMMIT!!! I'd rather be doing anything right now then spend my whole day with this bit....'

~WHACK~

Inuyasha's thoughts were cut off by a bonbori hitting him upside the head. He immediately got back up again and started yelling at her. "WHY THE HELL YOU DO THAT FOR?!?"

"Thats for when I was trying to hit you and...."

~WHACK~

~BONK~

~BOOM~

"...those are for making fun of me." said Shampoo smiling satisfied.

It was going to be a long and hard day for Inuyasha.

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

Ranma was sitting at the table staring at the door. Everyone had woken up by now and had eaten breakfast. Akane and Ukyou went to look around at some of the shops since they knew that Shampoo was ok, and they didn't have to look for her or worry about her anymore. Ryouga of course followed Akane like a lost puppy. And everyone else was waiting in the Inn. Happousai was going around the rooms collecting panties and the two fathers were talking about Ranma and Akanes engangment of course with some drinks. As for Mousse he was starting to make a hole in the floor from where he was pacing impatiently.

It seemed like forever. The only thing Ranma wanted to do was get Shampoo and go home. But it always seemed like there was always something keeping him from what he wanted.

The door to the Inn opened and in came a young man dressed in robes with a staff followed by a boy with a tail, weird looking ears and feet, and fangs. Ranma saw the bartender go from melanchoily to joyous. And Ranma knew then who they were.

"Hello Mr.bartender, has anything strange happen since....." the young man in the robe was cut off when a person ran up to him.

Too bad Ranma tripped on a table that had cold water on it and spilled it on himself changing him to a her. Ranma-chan grabbed the man in the robes and started shaking him. "Are you a monk?" she asked.

Miroku looked surprise. A young beautiful woman just ran up to him to ask him if he was a monk. It just seemed to be his lucky day. "Yes I am. My name is Miroku and what is your name?"

"My name's Ranma. Now tell me if a girl named Shampoo is staying with you." said Ranma-chan.

"Well yes, there is. Now can I ask you a question?" asked Miroku.

"Umm..yea I guess." said Ranma-chan.

Miroku got serious and cupped Ranma's hands in his. "Will you bear my children?" asked Miroku seriously.

Ranma looked shocked and had a big sweat drop on the back of her head. As for Soun, Genma, and Mousse who was all watching this, they all face- faulted. Now for the bartender, he saw Ranma change from a boy to girl and then watched him or her get asked to bear somebodies children he or she had never met. So the bartender couldn't take it anymore and just passed out.

Ranma-chan finally got over her shock and punched the monk right out the door. "YOU PERVERT!!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!! AND PLUS I'M A GUY!!" Yelled Ranma-chan.

Shippo just shook his head as he watched it all happen. He knew immediately who it was when she said that she was a guy. "Excuse me." said Shippo nice and kindly. Ranma-chan turned around to face or look down at the little demon. Ranma-chan immediately calmed down when she saw him. "Aren't you Shampoo's fiance?" asked Shippo.

"Yea, she told you about me?" asked Ranma-chan curiously.

Shippo nodded, "Yea, she did. My name is Shippo by the way."

"Hi Shippo. Where is Shampoo now?" asked Ranma-chan.

"She's either at the cabin we built or exploring whe woods with Inuyasha."

"Whose Inuyasha?" asked Ranma-chan who was getting even more curious.

"He's a half-demon. He's good though, but him and Shampoo don't get along well. And he really doesn't like the idea of Shampoo living with us from now on." said Shippo.

"Wha...what do you mean by living?" asked Ranma-chan now starting to get worried.

"She says she was going to stay with us until the demon problem is solved, but I think thats gonna take a long time." said Shippo.

Ranma-chan thought about what Shippo just said and couldn't help but yell. "WHAT!?!"

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

Inuyasha and Shampoo were walking in silence. They were now walking by some mountains and just passed a waterfall. They hadn't talked since the last argument back at the cabin when Shampoo started hitting him. Inuyasha stopped where he was and started sniffing the air. Shampoo looked back at him confused. "What the hell are you doing?" asked Shampoo.

"I smell wolf." said Inuyasha in a growl.

"So, its just wolves. Its not like its a demon." said Shampoo.

"No, they are demons. They're wolf demons that lead wolves....idiot." said Inuyasha.

"How was I suppo......" Shampoo was cut off when they heard something rumbling in the woods.

They both looked towards the one side where the woods was. The rumbling seemed to get closer and faster by the second. And as the rumbling got closer they noticed that they were getting surrounded by wolves. The rumbling then stopped and a figure stepped out of the woods. It was a tall handsome man with long dark hair that was pulled back. He wore wolves clothing and had a tail, pointy ears, and claws. He was clearly a demon.

Shampoo heard Inuyasha growl "Kouga."

The figure just smirked."Inuyasha, long time no see." said the demon.

"KOUGA, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?" Yelled Inuyasha.

"I don't know. I could ask the same question about you but I would rather ask whose that beautiful young lady beside you." said Kouga with a gleam in his eyes.

Inuyasha looked towards Shampoo then looked at Kouga again. "She's no one important." said Inuyasha in a growl again.

"Yea, so I see you've replaced Kagome with her." said Kouga smirking.

"THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN HELL THAT I WOULD REPLACE KAGOME WITH SHAMPOO!!! AND DON'T YOU DARE BRING HER INTO THIS ANY MORE!!!" Yelled Inuyasha with fire in his eyes.

Kouga just chuckled. "So you wouldn't mind if I take her from you." said Kouga smirking.

"What? What the...." before Inuyasha could finish, Kouga sent his wolves to attack Inuyasha.

Shampoo stood there ready to fight back when she noticed that all of the wolves were attacking Inuyasha. She was about to go over and help him fight but Kouga jumped in front of her. "I might of lost Kagome to mutt-boy over there, but your just as good." Shampoo just looked at Kouga confused and was about to attack him, when everything around her went black.

Inuyasha kept fighting off the wolves, but it seemed like the more he killed the more they came. Right when Inuyasha was attacking them they all just seemed to stop and run away. Inuyasha smiled smugly and laughed to himself. "HA!!! Stupid wolves, always running away with their tail between there legs. Oh and thanks for your help Shampoo, you were....." Inuyasha was saying sarcastically when he turned around and found no Shampoo. Inuyasha immediately knew what happened to her when he thought about Kouga and his wolves suddenly leaving. "DAMMIT KOUGA!!!"

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

HEY!!! I hoped you liked it. I told you I would put Kouga in it. Shesshomaru's gonna show up soon too. Oh and I know the Shikon Jewel in Kouga's legs made him really fast but since the Shikon Jewel was restored he shouldn't be that fast, but I want Kouga to be really fast so flame me if you don't like it. And the bartender, I couldn't think up a name so he's just bartender. Thanks for reading. R&R Please.
