        I am not saying that Shampoo should get Ranma (although with the
way Akane treats the boy, I can see why Shampoo keeps trying to get him
away from her), I am just wondering why everybody assumes she _must_ get
stuck with Mousse.

	Must be kind of like the Ukyou and Ryouga thing, I suppose.  I believe they 
should go together simply because I can't see anyone else Mousse or Shampoo should go 
with.  

	I can....
	Shampoo <-> Ryoga: Someone once described them as "a pair of 
bricks with a casual attitude toward property damage".  They have a lot 
on common, both of them having trained all their lives to the detriment 
of their interpersonal skills as well as holding themselved to a code of 
honor not entirely connected to the rules of polite society.
	Who knows, maybe 'Poo could get Hibiki over that shyness of his ;)

	Mousse <-> Kodachi: Two slightly unbalanced individuals eternally 
pining over those who reject them constantly.  I could easily see these two 
lonely outcasts finting solace in each others arms.
	I, however, have _no_ desire to picture thier love life :)

At least for Ryouga you got Akari which is an obvious choice. 

	Sorry, I have a problem with the Tailor Made Mates(tm) Takahashi 
thought up in the later manga.
