Cologne gave Shampoo a stern look.  "I have not seen Son-In-Law in here
for a long time.  Has he become a regular in that spatula's girl's
restaurant now?"

	Shampoo shrugged.  "Shampoo not sure.  Ranma no come by ever since
Akane beat him up."   

	"That is unacceptable.  You must not let up on your pursuit of him for
even an instant.  The longer you wait, the more chance Son-In-Law will
fall in love with another.  Perhaps even...."  Cologne paused
dramatically.  "Akane Tendo."

	"No!  Ranma is Shampoo's husband!  If pervert girl
interferes....!"  Shampoo raised her voice.

	"Killing Akane right now is not the answer.  You must make Ranma leave
her voluntarily.  Then she is fair game."         

	Shampoo face fell.  "How?  Ranma go home with Akane every day!"

	Cologne looked thoughtful for a moment.  "Perhaps you should give the
Passion Spice another try?"

	Shampoo shook her head sadly.  "It no work.  Shampoo already try many
times."  

	"Hmmmm...."  

	Just then Akane Tendo walks into the Nekohanten.  All of the students
from Furinkan High immediately stop what they are doing and turn to
watch her.  They have all been waiting to see what will happen when
Shampoo found out that Akane is no longer engaged to Ranma.  Naturally
they were prevented from telling Shampoo about it themselves because of
*certain creative threats* from Nabiki Tendo who knew the situation
would only get worse if Shampoo knew the truth.  

	However, nothing could stop Shampoo from finding out if Akane herself
told her.  The students watched with growing anticipation as Shampoo
emerged from the kitchen with a scowl on her face.

	"What pervert girl want here?!"  Shampoo demanded.

	Akane had a look of pride on her face as she replied.   "Shampoo, Akane
has come to give you something.  Something you've deserved for a very
long time.  Something Akane will be delighted to give to you,
PERSONALLY."    

	The restaurant quickly moves aside to make space between the two female
warriors.  Cologne raises an eyebrow as Shampoo pulled out a pair of
maces and assumed a combat ready stance.

	"Shampoo accepts your challenge!  Shampoo been waiting long time for
this!"

	"Not in here you won't!  Outside!"  Cologne admonished.  Shampoo
relaxed her stance and bowed to her great-grandmother before retreating
outside, brushing against Akane as she leaves.  Akane also turned to
leave when Cologne cleared her throat, causing Akane to pause by the
door.

	"Are you sure you wish to do this?  My granddaughter is an exceptional
fighter.  She will not go easy on you."  Cologne warned.

	Akane's eyes grew cold at the old crone's words.  "Mercy is for weak
and coddled.  Akane fight to prove herself worthy."

	Akane walked out of the Nekohanten, soon followed by the rest of the
customers.  Cologne frowned as she realized something.

	"Since when has Akane referred to herself in the third person?  There
is something very wrong here...."  Cologne thought to herself as she
too, went outside to view the upcoming battle.

	Shampoo and Akane stand on opposite ends of the sidewalk in front of
the Nekohanten.  Shampoo pulls out her maces and once again assumes her
battle stance, balancing on one foot while Akane merely stands with her
arms by her sides.  Shampoo notices this and yells to
her.

	"Hey stupid girl!  Shampoo beat you up too quick if no ready for her!"  

	"If Shampoo so sure of victory then kill Akane and be done with it!" 
Akane replied with a sneer.

	Shampoo growled and leapt high into the air, mace posed to strike. 
Akane continued to make no attempt to defend herself as Shampoo quickly
descended on her.  Shampoo was a ruler's length away when
suddenly Akane snapped into action.  Her arms were a blur as she grabbed
both of Shampoo's maces by the handles and then jumped, using both of
her feet to strike hard against Shampoo's unguarded chest.  

	Shampoo gasped as the wind was knocked out of her and released her grip
on the maces.  Shampoo fell backwards but managed to flip back into a
crouching position thanks to her training.  Shampoo held her chest in
pain while Akane rolled backwards to her feet, looking almost bored.
 
	"Interesting....."  Cologne's eyes were narrowed.

	The crowd was shocked as they stared at the fallen Shampoo.  Finally
Akane smirked as she casually tossed Shampoo's maces behind her and out
of reach.

	"Is that the best amazon warrior can do?  Akane is disappointed." 
Akane arrogantly proclaimed.

	With those taunting words, Shampoo quickly rose to her feet.  A new
fire burned brightly in her eyes as she cracked her knuckles and a blue
aura began to surround her.

	"Shampoo was going to go easy on Akane because you friend of
groom...."  Shampoo quietly replied.  "Now...."

	"NOW SHAMPOO KILL!!!!" Shampoo screamed with the fury of a lion's roar
and surged forward, immediately unleashing a series of punches and kicks
that even Male Ranma would have had trouble blocking. Akane blocked them
all with a speed even faster than the Tenshin Amaguriken and then
countered with a lightning fast round kick.  Shampoo barely managed to
dodge the blow and dropped low to legsweep her.  

	Akane jumped over Shampoo's leg but fails to dodge Shampoo's other leg
as she uses her hands to spring upwards and smash it brutally against
Akane's jaw.  Caught off guard, Akane staggered, giving Shampoo the
opening she needed to place a series of hard punches to her body,
putting everything she had into them.    

	A small trickle of blood dripped down the corner of Akane's lip as she
fell hard to the ground.  Shampoo towered over her, an expression of
triumph and a smirk of her own....

	"Get up from that, pervert girl....EEP!"

	Without warning, Akane leaps up at Shampoo.  Shampoo raises her arms to
block only to have Akane grabs her in an passionate embrace.

	"WHAT AKANE THINK SHE DOING?!?!?  Shampoo bellowed with fury.

	"THIS."
	
	Akane leaned her head forward and kissed Shampoo deeply on her lips. 
Cologne's jaw dropped and Shampoo eye's grew to enormous size as she
felt Akane's tongue probe her own...."  Shampoo waved her arms wildly in
displeasure but soon stopped as instinct began to kick in....  


....THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE TEASERS WHATSOEVER....



Coming soon to the FFML....


****GAMES 6.7****


Watch for it.  ;)

Sincerely,

Megane 6.7


P.S. The teasers are for another Ranma 1/2 fic that's I starting working
on around the time when cloning was the hot topic in the news called
"Akane Forever".  It will be finished eventually but in the meantime I
thought it would be a creative way to plug my upcoming project.  Until
next time!
