never let the cat go out of his sight he continued to follow her until they
reached a hot spring. Aha! She's trapped. Kyo was about to snatch her when the
white cat suddenly jumped into the spring.
Splash! And then the cat transformed into this beautiful blue-haired girl.
Shampoo still had not noticed Kyo's presence while Kyo just stared at her in
amazement.
Kyo slowly approached the girl from behind. Shampoo, on the other hand, noticed
already the person going up behind her. Shampoo was prepared for this intruder.
As Kyo reached Shampoo, Shampoo whirled around surprising Kyo with an attack
that sent Kyo to slam against a tree.
"Ow!" Kyo cried.
Shampoo retained her fighting stance and was eyeing Kyo suspiciously while Kyo
tried to stand from the blow.
Shampoo was the first to speak. She was worried that this guy might have seen
her transformation. "What were you going to do? You pervert!"
Kyo looked at the ground while his cheeks colored. "I was not trying to do
anything weird." Kyo said defensively.
"I don't believe you." Shampoo tried to attack again. Kyo was trying to fend
her off. He did not know how to fight against a girl as he never tried it
before. She's quite skillful, Kyo thought. He was really having a hard time
because he cannot hit back a girl and a pretty one at that. "Hey! I'm not a
pervert!" Kyo snatched Shampoo's hands as they were trying to attack him,
however, it caused Shampoo to slightly fall off-balance that their faces are
just inches away from each other. Kyo was quick to let his body turn away from
Shampoo's as far as possible because he was already quite an expert in avoiding
accidental hugs from girls. Kyo suddenly jumped into the tree and ran.
Shampoo watched Kyo go away with a deep frown. She decided not to pursue him
because she got better things to do like finding Yuki right away. Also, Shampoo
thought it was strange that although she thinks that Kyo was really trying
something weird, she sensed that Kyo was a good guy. We'll never meet again
anyway." Shampoo was comforted by her thoughts.
Tohru was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a soft knock in their front
door. A visitor. Who could it be? Tohru thought right away because none of the
Sohmas ever knock. Excited to have a guest, she quickly went to the front door
and opened it. "Shampoo-san!" Tohru exclaimed upon seeing the girl she admired.
"You remember me?" Shampoo thought flattered that Tohru remembered although
they've just met. She was flattered because she had forgotten Tohru's name.
"Hai!" Tohru smiled. "Please come in, what brings you here?" Tohru inquired
politely.
"I was wondering where your boyfriend Yuki is." Shampoo said simply.
Tohru reddened. "Oh! He's not my boyfriend." Ashamed that anyone would think she
was worthy to be the Prince's girlfriend. Maybe she's in-love with Yuki-kun
too. The same as the other girls at school. She added.
"Oh! I'm sorry." Shampoo was glad because she sincerely wanted to be friends
with this girl (whose name she forgot) who looks kind and meek. Not the type
Ranma would go for.
"Gomen ne, Yuki-kun is not here. He went to school because of Student Council
meeting."
Shampoo was clearly disappointed. "It's alright. I guess I should be going now."
Shampoo stood up.
"Ah, may I take a message?" Tohru hates it when she's not helpful.
"No, it's alright." Shampoo smiled at Tohru as she left.
Kyo went back to the dojo to think. What the hell happened in there? Why did
she transform into a human? Kyo had a lot of unanswered questions on his mind.
He was confused. All along the Sohmas were thinking they were a special family.
A specially cursed family. Then this girl pops out. An idea stuck him. Yes!
It can be. She can be another Sohma we don't know about. A long lost cousin
maybe. Wait! Isn't it she's a cat? There could only be one cat and it is
me."Ah!" Kyo scratched his head. He was still thinking about this matter when
he went home.
When Kyo got home, he forgot all about the thing that he was going to ask Yuki
regarding Tohru. His mind was preoccupied by the girl-cat.
Shigure was alert on his surroundings as always. "Kyo-kun, what's on your mind?
A girl perhaps.." Shigure teased as they were eating supper.
Kyo's colour deepened. "No, I'm thi-thinking about schoolwork." Kyo stammered
out.
"Hmmm?" Shigure eyed him suspiciously.
Tohru noticed Kyo's silence and deep thought. "Kyo-kun, what's the problem? I
would like to help you but I'm not also very good at schoolwork." Tohru was sad
because she cannot be of much help to her good friend Kyo.
"Ah, it's alright. I can do it myself." Kyo abruptly stood up to avoid any more
questions. However, he remembered that Shigure knows everything about the Sohma
family even if he looks stupid.
He sat down again. "Ah, Shigure, would you know if the Juunishi curse can appear
in a person twice?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Shigure was intrigued but he appeared nonchalant.
"Ah, for example, could there be like two boars in the Juunishi? Like one is
Kagura, then there's another person?"
Shigure hooted. "Woohoo! Do you miss Kagura-san that much? You're seeing
double? Don't tell me you tried to kiss some innocent pig…" Shigure was already
thinking some weird thoughts. Yuki was trying hard not to laugh.
Kyo stood up. It was a mistake talking to Shigure. He forgot about Hatori-san,
another knowledgeable but sensible person.
Tohru watched Kyo silently as he left the table. She's really not very good in
academics so she cannot offer any help for now.
Yuki and Shigure walked outside the house to talk while Tohru cleared the table.
"So, what did Hatori-san said?" Yuki inquired calmly.
"He will erase his memory." Shigure said grimly.
"What?" Yuki cannot believe it. Hatori was going to do it again.
Shigure suddenly smiled. "Just kidding!"
Yuki wanted to strangle Shigure then put his corpse in an anthill.
"He wants to meet this Ranma first before making a decision. After all, he knows
about the curse."
"Ok. I'll tell him to meet Hatori-san. However, could you please tell
Hatori-san that he didn't know that several of us are cursed? He thinks I'm the
only one."
"That's much better!" Shigure exclaimed.
Ranma was in good spirits today. He was supposed to meet Sohma Yuki to discuss
on what they should do. Maybe we can practice again together.
Ranma was walking near the shops when he saw Kyo. I know this guy. Then he
remembered that he was the one with Yuki when they came in the practice. "Hey!"
he called out. Kyo noticed him almost immediately. "Yo!" Kyo raised his hand
in greeting when he recognized Ranma.
"Where's Yuki?" Ranma asked immediately.
Kyo frowned. "I don't know. I'm just here on my own."
"Oh, sorry, I was just supposed to …."
"Ranma darling!" Shampoo was speeding her bike to hug Ranma.
Ranma was gone in a flash upon hearing her voice. "See ya!" he called out to
Kyo.
Shampoo was going so fast that she did not have the time to stop causing her to
collide with Kyo.
Shampoo fell into Kyo causing Kyo to transform into a cat. "Poof!"
"Ah! Ouch!" Shampoo exclaimed. She was rubbing her head when she remembered
that she bumped into something or someone. But all she could see in front of her
was an orange cat with a man's clothes around it.
Author's note: I know! It's beginning to sound like a Shampoo x Kyo fic. I
promise I'll try to write more about the other characters.
