	I got a question on that.  I always thought Shampoo didn't kill Akane 
because she knew Ranma would hate her forever if she did kill Akane.  When 
Shampoo first appeared she was going to kill Akane until Ranma stopped her.  She 
only changed her mind because she found out the killing Akane would not work and 
Ranma will protect Akane.  She still continues to try, however.  If I remembered 
correctly, when Akane was kidnapped by Tarou (sp?), Shampoo planed on to kill 
Akane while everyone else was fighting so no one will notice.
	By the way, I have another question.  Does Shampoo ever realize that 
Ranma loves Akane and never likes her?  I sort of think that maybe Shampoo did 
figure it out, but was too ignorant/proud to accept that fact and therefore 
continues her thoughtless and often violent pursue for Ranma.
