Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction ❯ New Memories ❯ Ch. 11 ( Chapter 11 )
Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma 1/2. If I did, Shampoo and Ranma would be together in the end. ^_^
Other Side
Shampoo, Ukyo, Kuno, and Akane were running through the corridors aimlessly looking around to find Ryouga and Ranma. Akane, Ukyo, and Kuno were all lost in thought….
Akane (thinking): I hope Ryouga's all right…
Ukyo (thinking): Poor Ran-chan…….
Kuno (thinking): Ah my love….Why must the fates test me? And why is the fair Akane Tendo looking for that scum?
*sweatdrop* err….Anyway, Shampoo was darting her eyes looking around for some chambers for doors….Her mind seemed to be drifting….and if you looked closely enough, you would see that her fists were balled up tight and that her eyes had a mix of anger and worry in them….. They continued running for what seemed like hours….
Akane just about dropped to the floor. She was so tired from running nonstop without water. She looked over to her sides and saw Ukyo, who had a look of worry on her face. And Shampoo, who looked about ready to strike something because she was so jumpy.
Akane (thinking tiredly): If they can do this then I can too.
About thirty minutes later, Akane stopped completely along with the others….. Right in front of them were three doors…one in the middle, one on the right, and one to the left. Akane groaned and sunk down on her knees to the floor. Kuno went right behind her and was about to touch her until he felt a fist that connected to his stomach. He fell to the floor and started panting for air. Ukyo started looking around behind them to check to see if that Ling girl was gonna pop up out of nowhere and attack.
Ukyo (thinking): That won't happen anytime soon Ukyo. You're just being paranoid.
Meanwhile Shampoo examined the three doors to see if she could sense an aura on any of them….she did.
Shampoo (thinking): The one on the right has Ryouga's aura…. The one in the middle has someone else's that I can't make out and…..Ranma's on the left side……
Shampoo looked at the left door for a moment before walking to a nearby wall and leaning against it with her arms across her chest….. She looked at the ceiling with a far off look to them….Akane noticed right away.
Akane: Hey Shampoo! What's wrong now? Did you sense an aura or something?
That snapped Shampoo of her trance. Shampoo panicked a little at the thought of Ranma's weird aura. That made her shiver involuntarily…. This time Ukyo noticed this.
Ukyo: Yeah sugar, did you sense something that was dangerous?
Shampoo sighed and looked at the doors again grimly.
Shampoo (thinking): The one in the middle is the one that took Ranma…I'm sure of it………*smirk and cracks knuckles* That person is gonna pay soon.
Both Akane and Ukyo looked at Shampoo strangely when Shampoo smirked and then cracked her knuckles. Akane walked up to Ukyo.
Akane: I guess she does sense something…..
Ukyo nodded her head in agreement. Then Shampoo whipped her head around herself sharply to look at both Ukyo and Akane. They both sweatdropped and inwardly gulped at the expression she was wearing.
Both (thinking): Uh oh…..
Shampoo looked at the two girls grimly. Then she looked at Kuno.
Shampoo: Kuno!
That got his attention right away. He shot up like a bullet and took one of his hands in hers.
Kuno (lovingly): Yes my lovely?
That gained him three annoyed looks. Shampoo yanked her hand out of Kuno's grasp and slapped him until his face turned red…..He fell down in a heap…. Once Shampoo realized what she did, she hung her head and said some words in Chinese.
Ukyo (thinking): And I bet I know what those words mean…..
Shampoo looked at Kuno again and sighed. Then she looked at Ukyo and Akane and sighed again.
Shampoo (thinking): I'm pretty sure that Ukyo can handle herself with Ryouga….but Akane, I don't know….. But all I need is time to beat that stupid monster or mistress…..Dammit!
Both Akane and Ukyo looked at Shampoo in confusion because of the constant changes in facial expression….the last one was of defeat. Shampoo sighed.
Shampoo (thinking): I guess I'll let Akane come with me.
Shampoo: Okay…I know whose in each of the doors….and I got a plan.
Shampoo noticed the looks on her comrades' faces and also the looks of complaint before she blew it over the top.
Shampoo (angrily): I don't want to hear it! Not anymore out of you two! I already know what you're thinking, but you two don't even have plans so listen!
That stopped both of the girls dead on. Shampoo darted her eyes sharply at the two of them before regaining her composure.
Shampoo: Now listen, Ukyo I want you to handle Ryouga….He's on the right side. Akane you'll go with me through the middle door to face the mistress. Got that?
Ukyo looked at Shampoo with a face of determination and a smirk….but Akane had one of confusion.
Akane: But then….wouldn't Ranma be in the left door?
Shampoo sweatdropped and looked around nervously around the room. Akane raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
Shampoo (thinking): Ah dangit! She figured it out already!
Akane: Shampoo, we're going to get Ranma first. He can probably beat that mistress whatever her name is better that you can.
Shampoo shot a glare at that. That wasn't exactly the best thing to say to a proud Amazon…….... A proud Amazon that could kick a weak Japanese girl's butt any day.
Shampoo looked at Akane annoyed and furious. Akane copied the look, and before long it was a staring contest. Ukyo looked over to one to the other, held up her hands, and sighed. Finally Shampoo backed down.
Shampoo (thinking): There's no use in trying to talk to a girl whose as stubborn as a mule….Shoot! Now I have to see Ranma! Maybe Ukyo could…………….Gah! No she can't even handle him……*sigh* I guess it's up to me…….
Akane looked at Shampoo in satisfaction as she backed down. She looked at Shampoo confused when Shampoo shook her head and sighed though.
Akane (thinking): What's wrong with her?
Shampoo looked at Ukyo almost sadly before sighing again and looking at the ground. Akane shared a confused glance with Ukyo who just shrugged back. Finally Shampoo looked up determined.
Shampoo: Okay then, I guess we'll get…..Ranma. Ukyo, are you sure you can handle Ryouga on your own?
She gained a furious glare from Ukyo. That made Shampoo want to laugh nervously and rub her neck….So she did and sweat dropped also.
Shampoo: O-okay then…..Hey wait! Akane you can stay with Kuno while I go face the- I mean Ranma….What do you say?
Akane looked at Shampoo angrily before marching up to her and looking straight into Shampoo's eyes. It held anger but also a sort of plea. They looked at each other for a while before Shampoo hardened her eyes at Akane.
Akane took notice of this very clearly and doubled her efforts in trying to get the Amazon to let her go.
Akane (thinking): Come on Shampoo….I can't stay out here and wait to see what happens………..
It seemed like Shampoo could read her thoughts because she broke off the contact and looked at the left door. But then she looked at the middle door. Shampoo repeated this process about six times. Akane was about to say something, but Shampoo beat her to it.
Shampoo (tiredly): Okay Akane, let's go now…… *looks at Ukyo* You should get going too Ukyo. We'll see you later.
Ukyo nodded and ran off through the right door. Once she did, Shampoo looked at Akane and smiled a little. Akane looked back at her and smiled back full force.
Akane: So…..Shall we?
Shampoo nodded and started walking with Akane behind until she suddenly stopped. Akane looked at Shampoo questioningly.
Shampoo (quietly): I want you to watch out for Ranma, Akane. His aura……it's different.
Akane: What do you mean? How do you know?
Shampoo looked at Akane grimly, but still tried smiling.
Shampoo: I saw him earlier and I could still sense it in here.
Akane: Wha- ho- when?
Shampoo started walking again without speaking. Since Akane didn't see her face Akane didn't notice the worried look on Shampoo's face……
************************************************
Meanwhile with Ukyo, she was looking around Ryouga's room. Her eyes wandered until she saw a figure lying on a yellow bed. It was Ryouga lying unconscious…
Ukyo ran up to Ryouga, but stopped dead when she saw what he was wearing…… A pair of black boxers with no shirt. Ukyo blushed a bright shade of pink before checking him over.
Ukyo: He seems to be fine, but what is he doing in boxers?
All of a sudden Ryouga started grumbling in his sleep. It looked like he was about to wake up. Ukyo backed up when Ryouga flailed his hands in the air. He looked like he was having headache.
************************************************
Ryouga's dream
Ryouga was currently running in the darkness screaming his head off. He was running away from a shadowy figure that was very swift. The whole time Ryouga was running, he was saying one thing over and over.
Ryouga: I'm not gonna let you get me and make me hurt Akane!
Ryouga looked back and was surprised to see that the figure was no longer there. Ryouga sighed from relief and turned his head back to the front. The shadowy figure was right in his face. Ryouga almost unleashed a Shi Shi Hokodan, but the figure unmasked itself. Before Ryouga got a chance to see who the figure was, it quickly leaned forward and placed a kiss on his forehead. Ryouga suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.
End Dream
************************************************
Meanwhile, Ukyo just watched Ryouga cautiously. He finally stopped flipping and tossing, but now it seemed like he was awake. Ukyo walked over to Ryouga and leaned over the bed to see his face. His face was contorted in anger.
All of a sudden his eyes snapped open while Ukyo was still leaning over him. They locked eyes, blushed, and then Ukyo backed away. Ryouga looked around the room and then at himself because he suddenly felt cold. He blushed and then looked at Ukyo and then back to himself. Ryouga put his hands up to his head.
Ryouga (petrified): NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ukyo winced at his outburst and hit him in the face with her spatula. That made Ryouga stop his screaming. Ukyo glared at Ryouga as he blushed as red as a tomato.
Ukyo: What the heck did you do that for? You could have broken my eardrums!!!! Why'd you do that anyway?!
Ryouga (stuttering): B-b-b-b-b-u-u-u-u-t-t-t y-y-y-y-o-o-o-u-u-u-u-u-u- a-n-n-d I-I…………….. w-e-e-e………………………̷ 0;. w-w-we-e-e-e-e………
He kept blubbering like and idiot until Ukyo hit him in the head with her spatula again.
Ukyo (aggravated): We did what exactly?
Ryouga: I'm in a room with you, I'm in boxers, I'm on a bed, and you were leaning over me………..OH AKANE!!!! I'M SO SORRY!
The way he cried would have put Soun to shame. Ukyo looked at Ryouga incredulously before blushing from head to toe. Then Ryouga started to apologize to her.
Ryouga: I'M SORRY, BUT I DIDN'T MEAN TO!!!! I Lo-L-Like AKANE NOT YOU!!!……….AND NOW YOU MIGHT BE PREGNANT!!!!
Ukyo (blushing): AAAAAAAHHHH! I'm NOT pregnant you dummy, and we didn't do anything, so quit saying that!
Ryouga sighed in relief.
Ryouga (quietly): Thank god……..
Ukyo seemed to hear him because flames shot up out of nowhere and Ukyo sharply glared at Ryouga.
Ukyo (angrily): What….was….that?
Ryouga sweatdropped, but didn't reply. Ukyo blew a blood vessel and swung her spatula right at Ryouga. It hit Ryouga full force. He flew to the wall and made a big impact on it. It cracked and made a Ryouga like print. Ryouga fell to the floor and moaned in pain. The furiously blushing Ukyo walked over to Ryouga. He held a hand to his head and sat up trying to focus on Ukyo.
Ryouga (dazed): Hey Ukyo, when has there been three of you?
Ukyo looked at Ryouga incredulously.
Ukyo: You idiot! There's only one of me! Snap *slaps Ryouga furiously* out of it!
Ryouga: Ugh. Dammit, you didn't have to do that….. And why the heck am I without my clothes?
Ukyo: I don't know. I just saw that you were in them when I tried to get you. Don't you remember what happened?
Ryouga thought about it for a while. Then it clicked.
Ryouga: That Ling girl did this I bet! She probably did something sick to my body and left me here!
Then Ryouga thought about how Ukyo came here and more importantly…..
Ryouga: WHERE'S AKANE?! What happened and how'd you get here?
Ukyo: First of all, I don't think that Ling did anything to you…..She seemed to like Shampoo….
That gained a blank stare from Ryouga. Ukyo ignored him.
Ukyo: err…. Akane's with Shampoo right now trying to get Ranma. And I'm here because we needed you too.
Ryouga: But didn't Shampoo get caught?
Ukyo: I guess she didn't……..But since we got you now I think we should look for Mousse. Akane and I saw him earlier.
Ryouga: But Akane-
Ukyo: She'll be fine. She's with Shampoo right now and they're trying to get Ranma.
Ryouga: But what if that jerk tries anything to hurt Akane?
Ukyo: *sigh* You know that Ran-chan wouldn't hurt Akane……Now let's go.
After that was said, Ukyo walked of to look for another door. She found one on the opposite side from where she came in from. After a moment, she went back to the immobile Ryouga and grabbed his hand. She went back towards the new door without protest from a worried Ryouga. Until…
Ryouga: Ling likes Shampoo?
Ukyo groaned in frustration….
************************************************
Meanwhile with Akane and Shampoo
Akane and Shampoo cautiously made their way to the door….. But what they didn't expect to see was……..
