What's the Deal with Shan Pu?
Best known as Shampoo, a warrior of the Joketsuzoku clan of China. For a long time spoke poor Japanese but excellent French as a result of an education by French missionaries.
She was defeated by Saotome Ranma in battle and so designed him as her rightful husband despite Ranma already being engaged to one of the daughters of Tendo Soun. Eventually, after a lot of fighting, she settled for a living in the Tendo household as Ranma's mistress, mellowing down a lot after the birth of Ranma's daughter Haruna, who looks up at her as an aunt.
She probably is Ku Fei's third degree cousin.
Sweet Sixteen.
"We're home, Shan Pu," Tendo Akane announced, peeking into her roommate's workshop. "Kasumi will have dinner ready in an hour or so."
"Oh, had you ever left?" Shan Pu asked eloquently, a far cry from her speech during her first few years in Nerima, wearing goggles on her face and a long white lab coat buttoned up to the neck, although knowing Shan Pu she most likely was naked under it. A look at Shan Pu's bare feet more or less confirmed Akane's suspicions on the subject. "Don't tell me that you were attending that unveiling of the memorial statue!"
"Yeah," Akane sighed, a bit sadly, while fully entering the room and closing softly after herself. "I know it's dumb to worry, but what if they're right…?"
"Haruna-chan's alright, she's been through worse," the woman with long purple hair said, not looking back but beckoning Akane close with a gloved hand. "Come see this, I've been working on a surprise for Ranma…"
Akane kept on thinking on the subject of Haruna while approaching Shan Pu half heartedly. "Nabiki insisted on going anyway, she successfully asked for royalties on the use of Haruna's image. What is this?" she sniffed, looking at the laboratory set full of colorful fluids Shan Pu was manipulating. "Something to try and bring her back?"
"Don't be silly, Akane, how could a chemical compound break the barriers of dimensions?" Shan Pu smiled, taking a sample of the liquid and injecting it into a mushroom. "MuTsu sent a box of these from China, and I've been mixing them with the contents of those age deceiving pills Haruna-chan gave us."
"Oh, MuTsu. Is Meiling-chan okay?" Then Akane paused. "Wait! I know these mushrooms!"
"You certainly should," the self proclaimed chemical genius of the household smirked, holding the injected 'shroom up. "If my experiments have yielded the desired result, I can make the age altering properties of these babies permanent! Imagine being young again! Life has given me a second chance to give children to Ranma…!"
"No way…" the woman with short black hair looked at it with barely disguised fascination, trying not to sound too hopeful herself. "Have you tested it yet?"
"Of course not," ShanPu replied. "The test animal isn't at home yet."
Akane frowned. "I thought we'd agreed that you wouldn't use Ryouga-kun for experiments anymore. Besides, I doubt he'll be around anytime soon, since he said he'd be gone only for a short while."
"Oh drat!" Shan Pu pouted.
"Uncle Genma is sleeping at the porch, though," Akane said nonchalantly. "He won't reject a plate of mushrooms as long as they don't come from me."
Shan Pu frowned thoughtfully. "I'm not sure I want him to be young again. I mean, what do you think would happen?"
"He'd use that to punk Ranma constantly, steal from everyone in the neighborhood, and be much more of a pest than usual," Akane groaned. "You're right, that was a dumb idea. But then, who…?"
They blinked in realization and then shared a look.
"Oh, for me?" Kuno Kodachi said, graciously taking a first mushroom from the plate. "Strangely generous from you, but appreciated! Oh ho ho, I've always liked a fine meal of mushroom delicacies, but I suppose yours will suffice too!"
She took a first bite and began eating elegantly while ShanPu and Akane looked on, curious.
Then there was a yelp, and things wouldn't quite be the same again.
The job—nay, the duty of a shinobi retainer is one filled with danger and stress. Sasuke had long made his peace with that, and in truth, life in the Nerima district had quieted down a lot in the recent years, after Happosai's death and Haruna-chan leaving for Mahora.
Still, it was not unusual for Sarugakure Sasuke's mistress—not that kind of mistress—to startle him near dinner time, with a high pitched cry of surprise and confusion. The small, aged ninja looked up from his tablet and adjusted his glasses, first looking at where Genma slept, and then towards the koi pond.
The panda bear was snoring contentedly holding a sign reading 'It wasn't me!' in his embrace. As for the enlarged pond, the gigantic, fattened and old Mr. Turtle, Kodachi's pet crocodile, was swimming in lazy circles there with clean jaws, so it was clear that whatever had startled Kodachi-dono hadn't had anything to do with either of them. Unless one of them had taken a dump on a hallway again. That happened.
Sighing and reaching for the bucket and mop closeby, Sasuke stood up and began dragging his feet along, apathetically. "I'm going, Kodachi-dono…"
He had barely reached the dining hall when he stopped, blinking several times. For Kodachi was there alright, but she looked as youthful as she'd been when she'd first met Ranma, happily skipping around and producing a gymnastics ribbon out, then to twirl it around in delirious joy.
"Ohhhhh ho ho ho ho ho!" she laughed, while Akane and Shan Pu stood by nearby, watching her in awe. "I don't know what is happening, but this is wonderful! Oh ho ho, just wait until Ranma-sama sees this…!"
Sasuke looked at ShanPu and the plate with mushrooms she was holding, adjusting his foggy glasses again. "You!" he gasped, recognizing the issue for what it was. Whenever it wasn't the fault of Genma or Haruna, it usually was hers.
Shan Pu cleared her throat, raised a pointer finger, and began lecturing academically. "Indeed! This radical discovery is the result of my rigorous research! Rising from education in a poor mountain—AIYAAAA!" she screamed as the plate was snatched from her hands by a blur. "Don't you do that, stupid little man-troll!"
Sasuke was a ninja, after all. "A one in a life time chance!" he exclaimed as his mistress kept on prancing in circles, not even noticing his arrival. "Here it goes!" he added, grabbing a mushroom, and tossing it down his widely open mouth. He gulped it down, barely chewing, while Shan Pu retook the plate angrily. For a moment he felt really ill and upset in the stomach, and he wondered if he hadn't just been poisoned after all. Then he felt a sharp pain in his upper belly, and he shook in place, jerking only once as his body changed…
… not that much, actually, but suddenly he felt so much better.
"I knew it…!" the somewhat revived Sasuke cried, beginning to flex his short arms. "I must've lost like twenty years in a single go…!"
"A-Around fifteen, actually," Akane said, marveling at how it hadn't been a fluke after all. "Shan Pu calculated the dose that way…"
"She did?" Sasuke looked at the seething Shan Pu, and then began counting with his fingers. "Let's see, that means… and I'd like to be… fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, mmm… More!" he all but begged, frantically reaching for the plate.
"NO WAY JOSE!" Shan Pu roared, slamming a foot on his face, hard. "I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE ANY MORE ON THESE ON THE LIKES OF YOU!"
Then she glared murderously at Kodachi, who was just reaching for an extra mushroom herself. "And if you take another bite, I swear I'm not going to be changing your diapers, you hear me?!"
"… fair enough," Kodachi wisely pulled her hand back. "There's such a thing as too much youthful beauty, I suppose…"
Akane rasped. "Y-Yeah, well. Shan Pu, before you even think of eating one yourself, maybe you should wait a little, any side effects might take a while to manifest…"
Shan Pu pouted, looking at the plate. "I guess you're right…"
Kodachi blinked. "Wait. You mean to tell me that you hadn't tested those before starting delivering them around?!"
"We, we were your Guinea Pigs?!" Sasuke cried.
"NO ONE EVER THOUGHT OF GIVING YOU ANY, YOU INVITED YOURSELF!" Shan Pu told him.
"But what about me!?" Kodachi whined. "I thought we were sisters now!"
'Kocchi is right, Shan Pu. That was mean of you' read the sign that Genma was holding now, as he stood behind her taking a mushroom for himself and wolfing it down.
"GAAAHHHH!" Shan Pu pulled the plate from him. "NOT YOU, TOO! THESE ARE FOR RANMA AND HIGHEST BIDDER SALE!"
"I will leave enough for Ranma!' promised the next sign, just as Genma popped down into a younger panda who looked practically identical to how he'd looked moments ago.
Akane sweatdropped. "… you guys… if those things really work, we've also gotta think of Kasumi-neechan, and Nabiki, and Ukyo…"
A somewhat chubby woman with long brown hair stepped from the next room, wiping her hands dry with a piece of cloth. "Ah, you were calling? Kasumi thought you were being too noisy, and she wanted to know what—Ahhh, shiitake!" Her eyes shone, as she grabbed a mushroom as well and ate it happily. "It'll make for good appetizers, well thought!"
"AIYA!" Shan Pu gave a small sharp scream. "Akane, bring something to put on these things, will you?! Nobody here asks before taking food away!"
"Oh, but they never do that when I am the one cooking, do they…" Akane said bitterly while watching Ukyo double in pain for a moment, and then reverting back into a much slimmer and younger woman.
Conclusion: Con este shampoo si que me lavo el pelo.
