Well, I stayed a lot longer on Thailand than I suspected,
but I trained hard and fierce still. I still practiced my Tae
Kwon Do kicks, my kung exercises, and my hidden weapon technique.
After hours of practice and headaches, I finally was able to
focus on Shampoo's face for a whole thirty-six seconds. I tried
focusing on other stuff like a black pig, for example, but that
was harder since I was used to practicing only on Shampoo's face.
My callous on my knuckles was getting bigger and soon I was able
to break down walls like Ryouga. My ribs finally healed and
stronger bones replaced it. My concentration, speed, power,
focus all improved. The next day I decided to go back to Japan.
I flew for fourteen straight hours to Japan; fortunately, my
training helped me gain the stamina to fly that long.
I finally arrived at Japan. Actually, it was Okinawa, not
Japan. Yes, the home of Karate, Okinawa. However, I was not
interested in Karate, but I trained here for a few days and
started towards Japan again.
I reached Tokyo and went into an Aikido dojo. I asked them
if they knew any famous Aikijutsu master. The Sensei there
mentioned all these names but none of them rang a bell.
"How about Morihei Ueshiba? Or Kenji Tomiki?" The Sensei
there asked me.
"Sorry, don't know who any of them are." I told him. The
Sensei looked somewhat offended by that remark; however, he did
tell me this old Aikijutsu dojo he knew. I thanked him and went
towards there.
I went into the dojo and asked the Sensei there about famous
Akijutsu masters. Still, no luck. I decided to forget about
remembering his name and start taking classes there. I asked him
about the style of Aikijutst he taught.
"This style? It is the Takeda-ryu Aikijutsu." Sensei told
me.
"Wait," I said as Takeda rang a bell. "Ta-ke-da?"
"Yes."
"Can you name some famous Masters the name of Takeda?"
"Well, let me see, Takeda Soemon, and um Takeda Sokaku..."
"That's him!!" I screamed with excitement.
"That's who?" The Sensei asked me.
"Takeda Sokaku, do you know where he is?"
"Sorry kid, he's died on April 25, 1943."
"Oh, well, see ya." I said as I was leaving disappointed.
Gee, dead for around fifty years... Master Chan must be real
old then. Oh well, I guess I will go to that Aikido place.
"Okay, line up!" The Sensei said, who's name was
coincidentally, Takeda. "We shall pair off, the black belts,
naturally go with the Kyus. Teach them well, after that, some
Randori."
After all the black belts went with the kyus, I was
fortunate to have the master as my partner.
"Remember, the aim of Aikido is not to hurt your opponent.
This art is always flowing and circular. The attacker is called
the Uke and the defender, the one who is doing the techniques, is
called the Nage. First, before I teach you anything, you must
learn the Ukemi. This will greatly reduce your injury rate."
Takeda said and he asked, "Do you know any Ukemi?"
I answered, "No, I don't."
"Well, first, go down to one of your knees, then put your
forearm flat on the ground in front of you. Now, row forward.
Good, you must remember to row on your shoulder. This will help
your rowing technique. Remember, you must flow with the
technique and never resist the technique. This will help your
reduce of injury."
"Yes sir."
I practiced my falling techniques for the remainder of the
day. I watched as the black belts do Randori. Two black belts
came out in the middle of the dojo and waited for the
instructions. Takeda told them to do a simple technique called
the shisho nage. It was a simple throw, yet it was flowing and
beautiful. Another technique they did, which I forget the name
of, was the Uke grabbed the guy from behind, the Nage ducked
down, under the arm, grabbed his arm, and took him down. The
flow of Aikido looked very nice. Then more demonstration
continued...
I went to that school for a year and a half, and I finally
quit. I still trained my earlier arts in between classes. I
also somehow got letters from Rei Rei on how she loved me and
such. I wrote back also, saying that I still need to finish my
business. Unfortunately, every time I write the letters, I was
always thinking of Shampoo not Rei Rei.
Chapter 7
I arrived at Nerima and boy it still looked the same. The
same smell. I finally mastered the bat fu technique where I need
no eyes to see, and it took me only about two years. I tested it
out by fighting a couple of thugs while I was walking over here.
The bat fu worked fine. I now could think about anything for
more than two minutes. I looked around and decided where to go
first. It has been almost three years since I left. I decided to
go to Nekohanten. I shaved my hair before I went in and took off
my glasses and got some contacts. The contacts were terrible,
since they don't make them that thick but I had to do this so
they won't recognize me.
As I went in, Shampoo, as beautiful and lovely as ever
greeted me. "Welcome to Nekohanten!!" She said cheerfully.
As I saw her again, my heart started to beat and all the
good memories started to flood my mind again.
"Excuse me Mr. weird customer, you want table or not?" She
said with her sweet voice.
"Uh, no, came for the bath room." I nervously said.
"Oh, go follow the hall and turn left."
"Thank you."
As I walked to the bath room, I heard Cologne mention how
familiar that guy was. I couldn't decided. I wanted to
challenge her to love me, but now, after seeing her, couldn't
see how I can hurt her. I cried in agony in the bathroom stall.
All these years of training, gone to waste? I remembered,
Ranma. If Shampoo sees me defeat Ranma, she will know how strong
I am. I quickly left Nekohanten, found some place, and started
training again. A whole year passed till I finally decided how
to get Shampoo to see me beat Ranma. My hair even grew back. I
wrote a letter to Shampoo on how I loved her and I'm going to
marry her at this abandoned field. Of course, I signed the name
as Ranma. I wrote a letter to Ranma on free food, all you can
eat at the abandoned parking lot. I set the times for 12:00 AM
next Saturday.
Saturday, they finally came. Ranma brought all his family
along for the free food. Shampoo came running joyously for her
love, or she thought.
"Okay, where's the free food?" Ranma called out along with
his panda.
"Ranma, I marry you! You confess your love for me yes?"
Shampoo said as she hugged Ranma.
"Will you cut it out?"
It was time for me to come out and stop this fiasco.
"Ranma! Shampoo!" I hollered out to them.
"Mousse? Is that really you?" Shampoo asked me.
"Yes Shampoo, I came to defeat your ahem, fiancee. So you
will love me instead."
"Oh, is that it? Mousse weak Mousse get beaten by Ranma.
Go ahead."
"Hey Mousse, how ya been?" Ranma asked me trying to be
friendly.
"I'm going to fight you, and then I will marry Shampoo."
"Hey, that's fine by me. I just came here for the food."
"Ranma! Get ready to die!!!" I yelled as I got into my
fighting stance.
"Ranma, make quick and hurry up and beat Mousse, so you can
confess your love for me." Shampoo said getting impatient.
"When did I say I was going to..." Ranma was about to say
after I kicked him.
"What the hell?" Ranma said feeling his jaw, "Mousse,
you'll pay for that."
"Whatever." I said as I threw away my glasses.
"You... You just threw away your glasses. Are you trying to
insult me Mousse?"
"If you want to think that, Ranma."
I ducked down and sweeped him. As he landed on the ground I
immediately jumped on top of him and started to pound on his
face.
"What? Oww, how did owww, he become this fast??" Ranma
said as his face was being pummeled.
Ranma grabbed me and tried to throw me down. I easily did
my Ukemi and got up. I then thrusted my naginata out of my
sleeve towards him. Ranma barley dodged my attack as my naginata
ripped a part of his sleeve, drawing blood. I came and did a
side
kick to his abdomen and quickly followed that with a knee bash
to his chin, while at the same time, an elbow strike thrust to
the back of his head. I grabbed his hair and threw him a couple
of meters away. Ranma got up dazed as I threw my chain with
claws attached at the end. Ranma ducked under the chains, but
unfortunalty for him, I twisted my wrist, the chain came back,
and stuck to the back of Ranma's back.
"Hmmmm, this might be Ranma's greatest match yet." I heard
Genma say.
"Mousse, you got better now," I heard Shampoo say with her
melodious voice. Shampoo... You will be mine soon.
"Oh my, he looks so serene fighting with his eyes closed."
I think that was Kasumi who said that.
"Mousse!! I didn't want to uses this!" Ranma said bleeding
>from his nose, arm, and back. "Anything goes martial arts final
attack!!!" Ranma yelled in frenzy.
"Run away!!" Ranma yelled as he turned the opposite
direction and started to run.
"Oh no you don't!!" I yelled to him as I threw ten chains
>from my sleeve and caught him.
I dragged him towards me, slowly. I was enjoying this. Of
course, I can't get cocky, must stay focused and....
"Kaishu Tenshin amaguriken!!"
That was my cue I focused in on one of his fists, grabbed
it, then flipped him over in an Aikido arm scissor lock. I
pulled at his arm. I can hear and feel this was giving him lots
of pain, so I pulled more. I felt the arm snap. I let go of the
arm and Ranma sprang up howled in pain, grabbing his arm.
"Ranma, tell me that I've won, and there will be no more
pain." I told him. "You want to get rid of Shampoo right?
Well, tell me that you lost, and your pains will be no more."
"Mousse," I heard Ranma weakly, "I would love to get rid of
Shampoo, but I never never never ever will give up on any type of
martial arts combat. You must kill me to win."
"Okay Ranma, if you wish." I really didn't want to do this,
but I had no choice, if I was going to have Shampoo, I have to
defeat him.
I charged at him, but he was ready for it and punched me in
the gut. I felt the pain, but wasn't significant, but he kicked
me in the leg; as I buckled from that attack, he kicked me in the
jaw. Ranma then grabbed my head with his good arm, brought it
up, and knee bashed my head a few times and tossed me away. I got
up angrily, bleeding and toned my three fingers to his throat and
grabbed it with my three fingers: index, middle, and thumb, thus
a dragon claw. I neck slammed him, picked him up again, and
squeezed harder. Blood started to drip from Ranma's neck. I
told him last chance. Ranma says never.
I put my head down and thought for a second. I needed to
know if my love for Shampoo was more important, or if saving
Ranma's life was. True, I hated Ranma, but I would not go as far
to kill someone. Besides, I never killed anyone before.
I put everyone at suspense for about five minutes till I
finally met my decision. "Ranma.... I know you hear this alot,
but... Prepare to die!!!!" I yelled as I was about to squeeze
the life out Ranma, Shampoo called to me.
"Mousse, I see you strong as Ranma now, you be stronger than
me. Ranma no right to marry me, you are more than qualified for
me to marry. Shampoo said.
Was that really shampoo who said that? I couldn't believe
it, I let go of Ranma and ran towards Shampoo to hug her. She
had her arms out to receive me. It was like slow motion. I was
running towards her then she moved out of the way. I wondered
for a split second till I heard, "Moko Takabishia!" And it blew
me away.
My back was burnt by the attack as I got up slowly and
walked to Ranma. Ranma was thanking Shampoo for that distraction
while he was able to gain enough confidence to throw that blast.
"Ranma!! Shampoo!!! That was a dirty trick!!" I yelled
furiously.
Then Shampoo, grinning, tells me, "What you talking about
Mousse? There no rules in fighting." Then she ran up to me,
took out her bon bonri and struck me in the stomach. I had no
idea why I couldn't dodge that attack. Maybe because it was
Shampoo who was attacking and didn't want to hurt her by
counterattacking or maybe because of Ranma's Moko Takabishia
slowed me down, or probably both. I fell to my knees and Shampoo
stomped on my head and left laughing. The other people slowly
started to leave the last I saw was, I think, Kasumi or Nabiki
Tendo.
Chapter 8.
I woke up the next day as I felt the sting on my back. I
couldn't believe it, after all these years of training, I was
defeated by a simple trick. I don't know how to feel about
Shampoo, right now, I feel angry at her. Of course, that will
soon change. I hate this curse, this damn curse called love. I
don't know why everyone has to get it. Oh well, since I will
probably love Shampoo again tomorrow, I must start my training.
I sat down and closed my eyes. I was thinking of a little, brown
mouse. After about one minute someone interrupted me. I got up
to kick the crap out of him for breaking my concentration, but it
was the mail man.
"Are you uhhhh, Mousse?" The postal worker asked me.
"Why yes I am." I told him impatiently, for I was still
enraged about my interruption.
"Thank God, It was hell looking for you, here a mail from
China."
"Thank you,"
I looked at the letter and it was from some one I don't
know. I opened and looked at it. It was from Master Gel.
"Mousse, you fool, my daughter was killed. You know, the
one you promised to marry? Well, she was killed by the demon
that once possessed her. Somehow, the demon was still alive.
Don't bother to come here, if you want revenge that is. I
already killed the demon, no thanks to you. Oh, the sad part is
that Master Chan finally died at the ripe old age of 115. Chan,
he was a great teacher, he might even thought me a few tricks.
Again, no need to come, his funeral is over. I even smuggled it
out of the Communist's hands and buried him in a secret place. I
did the same thing with my daughter. Oh well, that is all.
signed,
Gel"
I looked at the letter, crumpled it up, threw it away, and
laughed. I never promised her that I will marry her or did I? I
thought about it for a few minutes, the letter that is. I found
out that she was the only girl that actually wanted to marry me,
heck even marry me. I wondered what Shampoo will do if I died?
Probably nothing. Nothing...
"Shampoo!!!!" I yelled as I felt the rage and grief inside
me. "I'm going to make you love me if it's the last thing I do!"
I ran towards Nekohanten at my top speed. I broke through
the Nekohanten door and scared the costumers away. "Mousse! You
idiot, you scare costumers away like you did few years ago."
Shampoo said angrily.
"Shampoo, I love you. I want you to love me too, and if I
need to defeat you to do it, so be it." I said.
"Whatever." She said as she took out her bom bonri's out of
nowhere and hit me with it. I flew through the wall of
Nekohanten into the next building's wall, making a little crater
on the wall. she then jumped kicked me into the wall, thus
making the crater now a hole. She then picked me up by the
collar of my robes to do some more damage. I got myself together
and grabbed her wrist, turned my body 180 degrees toward my right
side, then threw her down. I then raised my foot to stomp on her
beautiful face. I was about to stomp on her face, but as I saw
it with my inner sight, it was still beautiful. I couldn't do
it. She grabbed my foot and tripped me. I landed safely,
brought my legs up, then mule kicked her in the chest. I could
sense her pain as she was thrown back to Nekohanten. I ran
towards her whispering that I'm sorry, but she threw a table at
me. I broke it with my fist easily and instinctivly, did a
flying side kick towards her. The foot landed on the spot, the
side of her face.
I smelled blood flying and heard her scream. She was thrown
back a couple of meters, crashed into a few chairs and tables,
and landed hard on the floor. She tried to get up. I went over
to her to cause her more damage but again when saw her, I
couldn't bare think of hurting her again.
She suddenly got up and did some dragon punch type of attack
towards me while I was distracted. Her punch landed square under
my chin. I bit my tongue as my mouth was forced closed and
tasted blood. I felt my tongue to see if was bitten off, luckily
it wasn't. Although the cut was about one centimeter deep. I
got up then she threw a left cross at me, I dodged it with ease
and front kicked her, she blocked the kick and counterattacked
with a leg sweep, I jumped over her sweep while she did a high
back kick towards my face, and I managed to dodged that by doing
a back flip in the air and did a side kick in the air, she dodged
that and tried to trip me, I hopped over her leg, and I shot a
ball and chain out of my sleeve, it hit her on the abdomen and
she fell. I wondered where Cologne was anyway.
I threw a straight right which it missed but hit the wall
behind her that shattered. I then ducked, spun twice crouched,
then got up and did a jump back swing kick and, with the opposite
leg, a jump ax kick in the air at the same time. Both kicks hit
the mark as she was hit twice in a row and mad her drop. She
tried to get up and I stomped on her back. She made a loud
scream.
After that, I couldn't understand why I did that. I was
going to defeat her, but not seriously hurt her. While I was
pondering, she kicked me in the groin, leg tackled me, and bashed
my head into the ground. I got up by instinct and felt her
roundhouse kick coming towards me. I grabbed the kick, grabbed
her collar of her shirt, tripped her base leg and threw her down.
Then with her leg still on my arm, I grabbed the other leg, and
turned her over for a Boston crab.
"Shampoo," I called out to her. "I don't want to hurt you
anymore, if you say you give up and say I won, you'll relieve
both of our pains."
"Shampoo not defeated yet." she said in great pain.
I then sensed someone coming into Nekohanten. It felt like
Ukyou.
"Omigosh! Someone is raping Shampoo!!" Ukyou said taking
out her spatulas. "Let go of her you pervert!"
Ukyou threw about five or six spatulas at me. I let go of
Shampoo and safely leaped put of the way. I threw my ropes and
tangled her up.
"What are you doing Ukyou!!??" I yelled at her in frenzy.
"I was trying to defeat her so she will marry me!! Besides, why
are you saving Shampoo? You hate her!! What are you doing at
Nekohanten anyway?"
"Wait, are you Mousse? Mousse honey! wow you look great, I
haven't seen you in a long time. Sorry about the attack, I just
came here to borrow some flour for my okiminiyaki. Besides she's
not my enemy, she is..." Ukyou started to say when I sensed
someone charging towards me.
I instinctively back kicked and hit Shampoo and felt her
ribs breaking apart. She disgorged blood and was sent flying
crashing through some chairs and tables making a loud clatter.
Ukyou and I looked shocked at what I've done. I couldn't believe
it, I kelt down and said, "All I wanted her to love me, I didn't
want to kill her!!" I cried in shame.
"You didn't." I heard someone say. "Mousse, you know you
loved her, but you lost control from your master's death and from
the death of the only girl who loved you. You were confused to
what to do. You wanted to defeat her, but didn't want to hurt
her, afraid to lose someone who loved you again. Well, I looked
into Shampoo's heart Mousse, she does like you, but not in a
affectionate way. She just tolerates you around that's all. So
forget about her, there's still more fish to catch."
"Who are you?" I cried out.
"Ummm, Ukyou remember?"
"I know that, but that other voice,"
"What other voice Mousse honey?"
"Mousse, over here, behind you." The voice said again.
I turned and looked, it was Master Chan.
"I.. I thought you were dead!" I said.
"I'm not dead Mousse, are you okay?" Ukyou asked me.
"Ignore her, look Mousse, I am dead. In the other world,
Mr. D gives you one more chance to talk to the one you most want
to talk to. I still figured that you still needed help. So I
came and to help you. Being dead, I get to look at the past,
present and future. And believe me, Shampoo doesn't love you."
"Who's Mr. D?"
"Forget about him Mousse, listen to me, look for other
women. There is one who will love you. But be warned, Shampoo
will tear that love apart again. So stay away from Shampoo at
all costs, especially when you get a girl friend or get married."
"Who is that?"
"I can't tell. Find out yourself. Look, my time is almost
up, so bye."
"Wait, where's Rei Rei?"
"Oh she's talking to someone famous, that's what most people
do anyway. I guess people wanted to meet their favorite
celebrities in their life time, but they can't do it when they
are alive so they take their last chance to meet them. Well, so
long."
"Bye Master Chan."
"Mousse, who are you talking to anyway? Who is this Master
Chan? Are you okay Mousse?" Ukyou asked me.
I ignored her, all of a sudden, Shampoo hit me with
something. I felt my mouth go numb, then blacked out. Last I
heard was, "Shampoo beat Mousse."
Curse her, I will have her
someday...

Author's Note:
This fanfic took me a year!! A whole freaking year to
