Ranma 1/2

Changes: Chapter VII. Akane's Mallet of DOOM!

"P-P-Chan?" Akane sqeaked.

The piglet hung his head in shame.

"Huh, who would've guessed?" Nabiki said.

"Hmm so, P-chan and Ryouga are the same person eh?" Said Soun, though, he already knew.

"P-Chan? Ryouga? You, you pervert!" Exclaimed Akane. "I don't believe this! Just how long were you gonna pretent to be my pet you lecher?"

"Bwee!" Ryouga tried to plead his case.

"Now I get it. Ranma knew too! He wasn't jealous of a pig!" Akane's aure started showing, everyone shrank back because it was red. "I'LL KILL YOU, YOU PERVERT!"

Ryouga ran as fast as his little legs could carry him while Akane chased him with her mallet. "COME BACK HERE, RYOUGA!" She screamed. Eventually he got to some hot water and managed to change back. "Wait a minute Akane! I can explai"

"Explain what? How you lied to me for years? How you slept in my bed with me all those times? Or how about all those times you were in my room while I was changing? What about all of the secrets I told you?" She looked down at the floor. Ryouga felt pure guilt. He had betrayed her, sure at first it was to irritate Ranma, but Ryouga did love Akane. "Those were my deepest secrets, Ryouga. You had no right to do what you've done. I told P-chan, you everything."

"Akane, I'm so sorry. I know I don't deserve your forgivness, but I want to try and make this up to you, I was going to tell you right before I got splashed."

"Go away, Ryouga."

"Huh? But, Akane I."

"GO AWAY! I'm too mad right now, I don't want to hurt you."

Ryouga walked up and put his arms around her. "I love you Akane, I won't leave you."

Akane's mallet impacted the bottom of his chin and sent him through the roof. "I SAID GO AWAY!" She watched him fly away with a look of hatred on her face "WE'RE OVER, YOU HEAR ME?" She yelled out to him. As Ryouga heard that, everything went black.

Shampoo was out riding her bike, just for something to do since it was so boring. All of the sudden, something impacted the ground in front of her, making an oh so perfect crater for her to fall into. Shampoo managed to land on something soft. She nearly shreiked when she saw that Ryouga was the soft thing, not to mention what made the crater. "Ryouga? Is ok?" She asked. Getting no response she pulled Ryouga and her bike out of the crater and rode off towards Dr. Tofu's.

Drake was at the edge of town. Drake hated Nerima. Too much noise, way to many people, definetly not enough action. He sighed. 'My life's been nearly non-stop fighting and training since I left. I'd forgotten how much different normal life was. This place is gonna make me soft.' Drake had to wonder if that would really be such a bad thing. After all, a person can't make fighting the only thing in their life. 'Not even the amazons are that dense.' He laughed. 'Of course, they really should treat the men better.' His stomach growled. 'Looks like I'll go see Ukyo.'

Ranma was laying on the ground panting and covered in sweat. 'Ok, this is going well.' He thought.

"Ah, hello Shampoo, what can I do for you taday?" Asked Dr. Tofu. as Shampoo trudged into the clinic carrying Ryouga.

"Shampoo find lost-boy, he hurt bad, look like Violent girl do!" She said.

"Bring him in, Shampoo, I'll see what I can do."

The next night...

Shampoo decided to stay with Ryouga, she didn't really have anything else to do. Dr. Tofu had said that he was hurt pretty badly, and decided that he needed to go and talk to Akane about what had happened. Ryouga started stirring.

"Aiya! Is you okay Ryouga?" Shampoo asked.

Ryouga sat up. "Ouch, my jaw hurts real bad."

"What happen, Ryouga?"

"I went to tell Akane about my curse." Shampoo nodded for him to continue. "And before I could get the words out of my mouth, I got splashed."

"Aiya, so she get mad."

"Yeah, I tried to appologize, but." He looked like he was about to cry. "She broke up with me, Shampoo, she's gotta hate me for sure."

Shampoo put her arms around Ryouga. "She no hate, just mad, give Akane time. Maybe she forgive you soon."

"That's just wishful thinking, Shampoo. But hey, thanks for trying to cheer me up."

"What you do now?"

"I thnik I can finally leave this place and not come back."

"You just give up?"

"Ranma's right, there's no point in trying to explain things to her, she just doesn't listen. Not even to me." He got off the bed and grabbed his backpack.

"What you doing?" She said. "You need rest!"

"No, it's ok Shampoo, I'll be alright."

Shampoo didn't like the pain she saw in his eyes. But she was glad that they weren't dead and emotionless. Knowing that he still had feelings meant that he would eventually be okay. "You take care, you feel free visit Shampoo anytime, okay?"

"Sure, thank you for the invitation. Good-bye Shampoo, take care of that idiot Ranma."

"Shampoo will!"

She frowned as he walked out the door. She knew that her and Ryouga weren't close by any means, but she still considered him her friend. "Shampoo miss you." She wispered. She decided to go ahead and help out Dr. Tofu by folding up the sheets Ryouga slept on. After awhile she became bored again. About that time Akane came rushing into the clinic. She glared when she saw Shampoo.

"Shampoo! What are you doing here?" Akane asked

"Shampoo find Ryouga, he hurt bad, so Shampoo bring him here."

"Where's Ryouga?"

"He leave half hour ago."

"What? I thought he was injured."

"Ryouga is. Shampoo tell him no go, but if she knew you coming, she help him pack!"

"What?"

"You hear Shampoo!"

"How dare you!"

"Want know what he say before he leave?"

"Only if it's the truth!"

"He say, Ranma right, Akane no listen when try to explain, no even to me."

Depression flashed through Akane's eyes. "You're lying."

"Shampoo no lie, Ryouga too too hurt in heart. He say he no coming back ever again."

"I gotta stop him!" Akane left to try and find Ryouga.

Dr. Tofu walked in with his Kasumi.

"Oh! Shampoo, was that Akane I saw running out of here? Where's Ryouga?" Kasumi asked.

"Ryouga hurt in heart, so he leave, he no want see Akane now." Shampoo said.

"But he was still injured." Tofu added.

"Aiya, is true. Shampoo try to talk him out of it, but he no listen, stubborn man."

Three weeks later.

Shampoo was sprawled across the floor of her room. Finding nothing to cure her bordem, she just layed around. Drake walked in and laughed at her.

"What so funny?" She said angrily.

"Oh nothing, here." He threw a peice of paper to Shampoo.

"What this?"

"Read it."

Shampoo squealed with joy. "Airen be back tommorow!"

"Yeah, he wants to fight with me again."

"Shampoo go yes? She love watch Airen fight!"

"I don't mind."

Shampoo squealed again and hugged Drake. "Thank you big-brother!"

End Chapter 7.

I think this might be the shortest chapter thus far, oh well.

Wharpt: Ah yes, thanks for reminding me. That would be hilarious, wouldn't it? But no, no cloaked female Ranma kindaping Akane while acting like Kodachi in my stories. I'd accually have to be a fan of the Ranma/Akane pairing. Though I'll admit, I'm sure I'll write on someday. Thanks for being my spell check, I'm using Wordpad :( Poor Ryouga, everyone knows you can't say mallet if it's impacting your face.

nonengel: Thanks again. I'll admit, Akane's mind is a very odd thing.

ShadowBakaSama: Either way, thanks for Reading and Reviewing.

Wonderbee31: I was tempted to have her not put 2 and 2 togather, but, that's just too cruel to her character. Curious, did she go to the clinic out of consern? Maybe to forgive him, or maybe to mallet him in a different direction. Either way, I still think it's fun to have Shampoo get under her skin.
