Chapter Five: Shampoo?

The girls walked through the various shops at the mall, occasionally buying clothing or accessories (mostly for Sango) or anything else they liked. Soon, after about an hour of shopping they got hungry and went to the food court.

"So, what do you want to eat?" Akane asked the other two girls.

Sango scanned the room with a surprised look on her face. "Wow! There are so many different places. Hm, why don't we go there!" She pointed to one area where the sign read: Cat Café.

"Oh…My…God." Akane gasped as she read the sign. "It can't be…"

"What?" Kagome looked at her quizzically. As they approached the counter they saw a girl with long purple-blue (I'm not quite sure what colour her hair is.) hair dressed in a short Chinese style dress.

"Nihao!" The girl said smiling cheerily.

"…Shampoo."

"Oh, Akane. You follow Shampoo all way here? You finally ready to give up Ranma?" Shampoo asked in her heavy, Chinese accent.

"We just want to order some food.' Kagome piped up from behind Akane.

"Okay, what you have?"

The girls all ordered their food and sat down at a table to eat.

"So Akane, how do you know that girl?"

"Hm…Oh, you mean Shampoo? It's a long story that I really don't want ot get into right now."

"Aww. Alright, but you'll tell us later right?"

"Okay. Later."

"We'd better go now. The guys'll be wondering were we are." Akane said after throwing away the Styrofoam container her food had previously been in.

"Or beating the crap out f each other." Kagome giggled as she and Sango mimicked Akane's action and left the mall.

At The Dojo

"Ha! I smoked you!" Inuyasha laughed as Ranma struggled to his feet. "You should be glad I didn't pull out my Tetsusaiga and cut you right in half!"

"I'm. Not. Beaten. Yet!" Ranma got to his feet but fell back down almost immediately after.

"Face it! You're beat!" Inuyasha gloated as Ranma sighed heavily and started to crawl across the floor.

Finally realizing the absence of a certain monk Inuyasha asked, "Hey, where's Miroku?"

Inuyasha looked around and then left the training hall, Ranma trying to crawl after him. They got to another room down the hall and walked in. The TV was on, aerobics, but nobody was there.

"Looks like the freak was here." Ranma said as he crawled in after Inuyasha.

"Yeah?" Inuyasha picked a staff up off the ground and turned around to face Ranma. "Looks like Miroku was here as well."

"Hm…I think I know where they might be." Ranma stood up, recovering miraculously. He led the Inuyasha through the house and stopped soon after infront of the doors leading to Happosai's room. Ranma slammed the doors open to reveal Happosai and Miroku sitting in the center of the room, surrounded by piles of women's underwear.

"What the hell!" Inuyasha exclaimed as soon as he saw Miroku.

"Hello boys! Come to help me sort out my collection have you?" Happosai asked Inuyasha as he entered the room and grabbed Miroku by his ponytail, dragging him out of the room.

"Hell no!" Ranma slammed the doors shut as they left. "Great, now there's two perverts!"

"Ow! Inuyasha let go!" Miroku hit Inuyasha on the head as Inuyasha released Miroku's hair.

The girls got back to the dojo and upon arriving witnessed Inuyasha pulling Miroku by his ponytail and Miroku hitting Inuyasha on the head.

"I told you, didn't I?" Kagome said as the other two girls walked up beside her.

I really don't have much to say this time. Usually I ramble on about something or another. Not so much in this fic as in my other one. That was really pointless. Oh well…review please!

Cya!
