Chapter 5:
Open the front door, step inside and slip your shoes off. Call out your arrival home and be surprised by an unexpected presence.
No. It wasn't Andrew.
It was Ryoga. He was accompanied with Shampoo, strangely.
"Akane," she smiled. "You put shoes back on? We go out now." She was speaking to her all too sweet... Hmm...
"Erm... I want to go and get-"
"Akane. We go out now." Shampoo repeated, opening her eyes. Akane nervously stepped back into her shoes, but made no move to go anywhere. Shampoo then approached her, took her by the arm, and dragged her out. Akane had barely any time to register what was happening, forget being able to set her feet on the ground to keep up. Just where were they headed?
It was all rather rushed, so when this eventually slowed down, Akane's head was spinning, her vision a blur. Now, having a chance to think properly, she saw Andrew sitting in front of her. He smiled at her. "So good of you to show up." He nodded to Shampoo.
"Said she would!" Shampoo replied proudly! And now obstacle out way, Ranma be mine!
Ryoga glared past her at Andrew, but he didn't seem to notice as he was too busy focusing on Akane from across the table in Cat Cafe. Akane stood up.
"Where you going?" Shampoo asked frantically, trying to force her back into the chair.
"I don't have time for a date - I have homework due for tomorrow! Anyway, I don't even know him."
"No matter! Shampoo do homework for you!"
"No - I'll do it myself, really."
Shampoo's eyes narrowed. "You get know eachother."
"Please," Andrew spoke up. "You've only just got here - at least let me buy you a drink?"
"I told you; I'm fine."
Ryoga's blood boiled more and more each second at the fact they weren't respecting her choice to leave, and he really didn't want her to be with him - he could garantuee he loved her more!
"ENOUGH!" He yelled. Ryoga grabbed Shampoo's arms, dragging her away from Akane. "If Akane wants to leave, she will leave." He looked at Akane, and she took the oppotunity to leave, leaping through the exit. She continued to sprint away back home, too quickly to see how things ended in the Cat Cafe...
Ryoga was stunned - he'd been defeated in combat before, been hit around the face before, but no defeat had ffelt as surprising as this one had. One minute he had a firm grip on her, yet she had somehow managed to slip out of it, then slapped him incredibly hard across his cheek - a shattering performance and embarrassing blow to be taken down by, especially infront of the rest of the Neriman population in which was gathered in the cafe.
"Stupid!" Shampoo cried, tears forming in her eyes. "One chance... You ruin!" After blinking, the tears began to stream down her own cheeks. "I thought you want help me!" She ran off into the cafe's kitchen, where her sobs were unheard, her face unseen, and the silence was now deafening. Ryoga thought he was doing the right thing... Turned out he was betraying the only one who was equally determined to break Akane and Ranma up as he.
