Meanwhile elsewhere in the Saotome/Tendo household…
"So Mousse where are you going to stay while you are here" Shampoo asked curiously
After leaving the dojo, the near sighted male Amazon was standing inside the room that she shared with Akane. Though he was standing because the youngest Tendo while allowing him to be in their shared room, specifically told him there would be hell to pay if touch anything that belong to her.
Turning to face her old childhood friend after getting to her bed, a huge smile on her face. A smile that almost cause Mousse to look away not because he did not like it. He very much liked it as this was the Shampoo he remembered before her mother left. The last time he had seen her before today was when she appeared in the village and attacked. Those eyes she had and the expression on her face was so devoid of emotion it was almost hard to tell that she was even human at that time. However what cause him to look away was that he still blamed himself for being taken away and turned into that human robot. However she was now standing before him back to her normal self minus most of her memories.
"Why are you so stiff? Come over here" Shampoo told him patting on the spot on her bed that was to the left of her.
"I rather not" he said in response as he did not feel right sitting next to her as she might not remember the past but he did.
"Come on" the purple hair waterbender plead with puppy dog eyes.
Eventually Mousse gave in as she seem to unconsciously remember how to make him do what she wanted. That and it had been awhile seen she had done that to him as after her mother left the way she did it changed. That when she stopped and simply dragged him off whenever she wanted something or simply walked off with him following after her shortly afterward. If he did not follow after her well he would get the silence treatment from her as his presence was ignored for short period of time.
"Now about where you are staying. Where would that be?" Shampoo asked.
"Well we just got into town so we really have not had much time to check into anywhere yet" he told her
After thinking about for awhile Shampoo had come up with an idea.
"Why not just stay here as there room and you can share with Ryoga. I am sure that he would not mind as originally his roommate was suppose to be Aura. Though she always sneaking into Ranma's and Toph's room to sleep. Lately she stopped sneaking in and just walks in there to go to sleep" she told him.
"I do not I will have to think about it" he respond getting a sigh from the purple hair water bender.
"So tell me about my family…about me. What was Shampoo like? Did Shampoo always know how waterbend? When we first meet?" she asked her speech problem appearing because of her excitement.
Looking at her like this it was the Shampoo that he had missed from all those years she spend obsessed with getting stronger in order to go after her mother and restore her family standing in the village.
"So are you going tell Shampoo anything?" the purple hair girl inquired.
"Well if you want to know about your mother and other members of your family. Why not just go ask your great grandmother as she here after all" he said.
"Really where I did not see her. The only person I saw you with was an old lady on a cane" Shampoo said after seemingly just staring into space for a moment.
"How about we forget about your family for now and you just tell me about what you been doing here in Nermia" he responded
Seeing that this was what effective be consider her 'blind spot' in her mind. It was the seem to be where she was selectively deciding on unconscious level to not remember along with the rest of her past. For Akane it seem to be her father as no matter how many time she saw the guy she never connected the dots in her mind.
So for Shampoo it seem that possibly her mother's side of her family if Mousse had to guess was what she would not be able to recall.
"Ok then prepare to be amazed. Shampoo does not like to brag but Shampoo is has rather high ranking in school among other things" she said
Of course just like she said he was rather amazed but not just because of what she had been doing but how different she was here then back home in the village. Even before what the male Chinese Amazon consider the greatest mistake of his life getting tricked into helping the group that stole away almost five years of her life.
Leaving Shampoo who had pretty much tired herself out from being so excited about Mousse being her. She was talking was she laid her head on his shoulder. Her eyes droopy until they just closed completely and he noticed she was asleep. Leaning her back on the bed and moving up her pillow so that her head was support by it.
"So are you done yet" Akane asked as she was leaning against the wall right outside the their shared room.
"Were you listen to us the entire time" he asked
"Why not as we are both her best friends after all. You did cause her to freeze up when you met early. I was just looking out for my friend" the youngest Tendo replied.
"Are you claiming I would hurt Shampoo?" Mousse asked staring at her.
"Are you acting guilty over something that happened in our forgotten pasts. Were you involved somehow with why we forgot" the firebender returning his stare with one of his own.
"Now…Now…Akane Mousse there will be none of that" Nodoka stated as she came up.
Turning to face her they noticed she was giving off her scary calm face that instantly got them to stop their stare down.
"Good. Now Mousse you will be staying here until further notice. Me and Cologne have come to this decision ourselves as she has to go deal with some matters before coming back here" she informed him.
