**************************************************************** ********
Today was the day. Xian Pu will finally get her arien and the kitchen destroyer won't be in her way. Sure, there were the others fiancées, but they currently didn't matter. To her, they were a minor nuisance, like a mosquito bite if you well. Her major obstacle was Akane Tendo, the woman who's family he's currently living with. Had this young Chinese Amazon thought everything through ever since she'd arrive here, she probably would have concluded that the two love each other, but alas she has not. The only thoughts that had occupied her mind, other than helping her great grandmother with the Cat Café, were and always have been Ranma Saotomae, the only man who better her in an Amazon contest, and an outsider no less. Sure, there was one man from her tribe that tried to take her heart, Muu Tsu, but she viewed him only as a friend, all though at times he can be annoying to her, but he was a good friend none the less.
^`At last, Ranma will be mine.'^ She thought. ^`With this red Chinese shirt and a matching mini skirt, these darts, and this dart blower, Akane will be knocked out long enough for me and Ranma to get married.'^ Normally, Xain, like any other Amazon, would kill any obstacle in her way, but since she was outside of her tribe and in a land with all sorts of crazy laws, she choose to obey them. After all, how can she marry if she's sentenced to life in prison?
However, the sleeping potion is in bright yellow darts. She was in a bit of a hurry and a tad impatient to notice that she grabbed a set of green darts, which are filled with the strongest Amazon poison.
**************************************************************** ********
At first glance of the woman with long braded brown hair dressed in a yellow blouse, with a long dress and an apron, one would think that she wasn't all there in the head, especially if one talked to her. However, Kassumi Tendo isn't as air headed as she appears. Sure, she always has a smile on her face, no matter what, but on the inside she doesn't like half of what's going on most of the time. She can't leave her family, she's the only one that knows how to cook and administer the proper first aid. If she did leave, then Akane's cooking will send them all to the hospital, or her first aid would worsen the wounds.
On days like today however, she saw the usual fight between Ranma and Akane and wonders why, like she usually doesn't during the fights, she didn't just yell at them to shut up and admit that they loved each other.
`God, how dense are those two anyway?' Kassumi thought. `If Akane didn't have that damn temper of hers, then maybe she'd finally see Ranma isn't as perverse as she keeps saying. Even a blind man can see that those girls glomp him, not the other way around. Sometimes I just wish I can lash out and maybe give her a wake up call.' However, no matter what she thought about her sister during these areguments, overall, she loved her and knew that Akane was a good person. Kassumi was able to convince Akane to let her switch turns, so she was cooking instead of Akane. `It's a bit hot in here.' Kassumi thought when she opened the door, unknowingly setting a chain of events that will change her, Shampoo's, and both of their families' lives.
**************************************************************** ***
^'C'mon, c'mon, where is she?'^ Xian thought. ^'She should be at that kitchen by now.'^ Suddenly, she saw a figure opening the door. ^'FINALLY!'^ She thought as she fired the dart from the blowgun. Unfortunately, she noticed two things too late. One, the streak that came out of the gun was green, meaning she fired the poison dart instead of the sleeping dart. And two, she fired it at someone other than her target: Kassumi. "KASSUMI! DUCK!" Again, it was too late as the dart struck Kassumi.
^'BY THE GODS! NO!'^ Xian thought as she ran into the house.
"What's going on? We heard a… OH MY GOD! KASSUMI!" Akane said alarmed. She then saw both the dart and Xian Pu just as Ranma and the others ran in. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER YOU BIMBO?!"
"Shampoo mistake Kasumi for kitchen destroyer and mistook poison dart for sleeping dart. Shampoo no mean to poison you or Kasumi, Shampoo just wanted to have Akane sleep until me married arien!" Xian said as she quickly got the dart out of Kasumi. However, Akane was mad.
"KASUMI!" Soun wailed, worried about his oldest daughter.
"WHAT?!" Ranma said. "Shampoo, if you…" However, Akane had her own things to say.
"YOU ACCIDENTALLY POISONED MY SISTER JUST TO HAVE ME SLEEP SO YOU CAN MARRY…" Akane said, but was stopped by…
"EVERYBODY, SHUT UP!"
…a Xian Pu that put Kasumi on her back while she did some hand jesters and a chant.
"What's she doing?" Ranma asked.
`She better not hurt her.' Everyone thought at the same time. Just then, both Xian and Kassumi glowed a blinding yellow light. So blinding, everyone had to look away. When they looked again, gone were the purple haired Chinese Amazon and the brown haired Tendo woman. In there place was a single 19 year old Japanese woman who had the well toned body of a Amazon fighter, the eyes and hair style of Kasumi, hair of Xian Pu, and a yellow Chinese shirt with a purple Chinese skirt in place of the yellow blouse with a purple long skirt.
"What…? What happened?" The new woman asked sounding like a mature Xian. Just then everything came flooding back as she shot up. "OH MY GOD! IT WORKED! SHE DID IT! SHE SAVED KASUMI!" She said happily.
"What do you…?" Nabiki said.
"A merger just happened." They heard from behind them. Sure enough, it was Cologne looking worriedly at the new person.
"Great-grandmother, you don't have to worry. Both Xian Pu and Kasumi are in here. You know that." The woman said.
"I know that child, but I'm worried about how far your Shampoo half went to get Ranma. I told her several times that if she goes to jail, she'd be useless as a wife." Cologne said.
"Oh no, you see she met to grab the… sleeping… darts…" The new woman said. `Oh my God! Did Shampoo really do all those things to get Ranma?! Including trying to throw a statue at my sister?!' The new form thought. `I've got some thinking to do.'
"I see you got some things to think about child. Go to Kasumi's room and I'll explain to them everything." Cologne said.
"Thank you great-grandmother." The woman said just before running into Kassumi's family and friends. "Please excuse me Mr. Saotomae, father." Stunned, the two just moved and let the new girl go to Kassumi's room.
"What's going on here old ghoul?!" Ranma asked angrily. "Who is that woman and where's Shampoo and Kassumi?!"
"And why did she call me `Father' and you great-grandmother?!" Soun said wailing.
"Settle down. I'll explain everything in the family room." Cologne said.
************************************************************** div>
Meanwhile, in Kassumi's room, the new form sat down thinking.
`Geez, that Amazon was an embarrassment to the tribe! Couldn't she see that Ranma was in love with Akane?!' She thought. `And the only reason Shampoo loved him in the first place was because no other man best her! Well, I'm going to correct her mistakes, that's for sure. I hope where ever in me Kassumi and Xian Pu are, they can forgive me for ending their dreams, but its time that I started my own. Now for a name… I GOT IT!'

"A merger?!" The whole family said shocked.
"It's a last resort technical the Amazons used when there is no choice in the matter." The old matriarch started explaining. "What happens is two chies are merged into one and the result is a single person with a totally independent life and mind."
"What do you exactly mean?" Genma asked curiously.
"While the new figure retains the memories of his or her two single forms that merged with," she said, "the new person will call them by their names even though he/she knows that they are a part of him/her. Its that powerful."
"So wait, you're saying if we called her Shampoo or Kassumi, she won't answer?" Akane said. Cologne nodded.
"This sounds like something out of DBZ." Nabiki said.
"I assure you Nabiki that it is not." Cologne said. "This is much more powerful."
"You said it was a last resort. Why?" Akane said.
"Because its permanent." Cologne said.
"WHAT?!" Everyone said.
"There's more." The old woman continued. "The new entity is totally independent from his/her two previous bodies. While they remember the desires of the old ones, its up to the new person if they want to share in those desires or not."
"And I've made my decision on that." The new form said. "But, before I continue, can you guys to me a favor?"
"What is it child?" Cologne asked.
"Can you call me Kaxian?" The woman asked. "Kaxian Tendo." She said with a smile.
"Uh… sure." Ranma said.
"Its, uh… no problem." Soun replied nervously.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! You think I'd be nice to you when you tried to kill my sister AND keep flaunting your self in front of Ranma?!" Akane said angry.
"Calm down Akane." Nabiki said. "Let our sister speak."
"Thank you." Kaxian said. "First, I want to apologize for Xain Pu's actions. She didn't mean to kill you this time or Kassumi. She had plotted to use the Amazon sleeping darts to knock you out long enough for her and Ranma to get married." She finished sounding a bit angry. "Damn that immature little…" Kaxian said causing everyone to be a little shocked. "Sorry. Anyway, she mistakenly grabbed the darts filled with poison and mistook Kassumi's figure from the window as yours." That earned a look of curiosity from Akane. "And believe me, I think you and I can already agree that Xian acted worse than a 15 year-old girl at a Backstreet Boys concert." That comment caused Akane and Kaxain to giggle a bit.
"AHEM!" Cologne said sounding a bit offended. "Xian Pu's behavior may have been a little questionable, but I will not have you talk to her that way in my presence!"
"Sorry great-grandmother, but that's how I feel." Kaxian said.
"See that I'm not present the next time you bad mouth someone I lost." Cologne said.
"But you didn't loose her. Part of her will always be with me." Kaxian said.
"Does that include Kassumi?" Soun asked teary eyed.
"Yes. Both of them are apart of me until the day I die." Kaxian said.
"Get to the announcement." Cologne said.
"Before I do, I need to know one thing: Am I still an Amazon?" She asked.
"Of course you are." Cologne said. "Half of you maybe a Tendo, but half of you will always be my great-granddaughter. You said that your self."
"Just wanted to make sure before I do this." Kaxian said, causing curious looks from everyone. "Ranma, I here by release you from the kiss of marriage."
"WHAT?!" Everyone said shocked.
"I know that I was only created a short time ago, but along with Kassumi's maturity, I have Shampoo's memories and the only reason she thought she was in love with you was because you were the only man who bettered her." Kaxain said. "She never truly fell in love with you Ranma." She said. Ranma looked a bit shocked, and so did Akane.
"You mean the whole time she was glomping me was because of some immature school girl crush?!" Ranma said angrily.
"And the crush is why she tried to kill me on some occasions?!" Akane asked.
"Yes and for her actions, I'm very sorry." Kaxain said.
"Now, why are you apologizing?" Cologne asked. "You're not Xian Pu."
"Yes, but I'm half of her and…" Kaxian started to say, but Cologne stopped her.
"I know, but you are a brand new life, you shouldn't take the responsibilities or burdens of any of your old ones." She said.
"Cologne's right." Soun said. "Even though I miss Kassumi terribly, she's still here with you, but you are a new person and you shouldn't apologize on your old one's half." Kaxian was in tears of joy.
"Thank you." She said. "Also, I have one more thing to ask. Father, can I practice the art?" Soun started wailing and crying.
"OH, MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO LEARN THE ART!" He shouted with joy. "Yes, of course." He said happily.
"Wait, Kaxain." Cologne said.
"What is it Great-Grandmother?" Kaxian asked.
"Don't you have Xain Pu's skills?" Cologne asked.
"I do, but it couldn't hurt to add some other skills or teach some of mine to my new family." Kaxian said with a smile.
"Very well child. You may stay here to learn the Anything Goes art, however, I still need you at the café. Would Saturdays be ok for her to work there?" Cologne asked Soun.
"I see no problem with that." Soun said.
"Uh… Kaxian, I have one question." Ranma asked.
"Yes Ranma?" Kaxian replied.
"What about dinner?" Ranma asked, causing everyone but Kaxian to fall down.
"Oh my!" Kaxian said as she ran into the kitchen to find the soup evaporated and the fish burnt. "Uh… great-grandmother…?"
"Very well, but only because of what happened. I'll send for Muu Tsu for free ramen." Cologne said.
"Actually, I think it would be best if I went there my self." Kaxian said. "I want to tell Dr. Tofu and Muu Tsu about this myself. And since Dr. Tofu is on the way…"
"Very well, but I'll accompany you because I'm on my way back there too." Cologne said.
"I'll see you guys later." Kaxian said as she and Cologne left.
"How do you think Tofu and Mousse will take it?" Akane asked.
"I don't know." Ranma replied.
