The Game is Cat and Mouse

Chapter 1   Set up 
 
"Shampoo! I'm here!  Where are you! " shouts Akane. 
"I here, Violent Girl."  Comes the reply, out of the rafters above
Akane. 
Akane looks for Shampoo, but all she sees is more of the old abandoned
factory Shampoo sent her to. The factory has been deserted for years,
ever since cheap toys from Japan went out of sytle. The dust,  shadows,
spiderwebs,  and broken machines of the place made finding Shampoo hard. 
 
" Why, did you challenge me in this place Shampoo? Why challenge me in
the first place?" Akane says as she continues to twist around looking
for Shampoo. 
"Here is good place for game. Pervet Girl know why challenge. Pervet
Girl destroyed Shampoo's date." comes the reply echoing thru the room. 
 
Akane stops looking and thinks back to the last time she saw Ranma and
Shampoo together. Shampoo was all over Ranma in a very tight, very
revealing, very nice dress. Akane saw the sweat on Ranma's forehead,
heard the sutter in his voice, and something made her throw her ice
water on the pair. She remembers giggling as Shampoo-neko tried to
escape her dress and Ranma-chan ripping it and everything to shreds
trying to get away from Shampoo-neko. 
 
"Was 6 months since Shampoo got Husband date. Shampoo very much wanted
nice date. Shampoo very mad at Akane. Shampoo find perrrfect way to get
revenge." 
"Shampoo I did not realize..." starts Akane. 
"Shampoo not finished. This time Shampoo make sure this between only us.
Great-grandmother  at Cat-Cafe. Shampoo gave old pervet stack of
Playboys yesterday. Mousse told Ranma and Shampoo date at park today.
Crazy Girl and brother sent letter telling same thing. Spatula Girl and
Umbrella Boy told also. Mercenary Sister given challenge letter. Letter
said Shampoo and Akane fight at park today." The direction Shampoo's
voice comes from varies as she bounces from place to place. 
 
Akane tights her gi, and assumes her standard battle postion. Her face
frozen in a very serious frown. "Well then, stop moving around and
attack. I am not afraid of you. " Small pause as Akane starts twisting
around so Shampoo can not sneak up behind her. "Well come on! Are you
afraid of me!" 
 
"Shampoo never afraid of Akane. Shampoo make Akane afraid of Shampoo
today." Shampoo says, then she says "listen!" 
 
The two stop moving around and even thru the walls of the factory and
the distance between the factory and the park, They hear the sounds of
fighting. Both of the girls need very little imagination to hear the
classic battle cries. 
 
"Now we begin" Shampoo says as she steps out of the shadows. Akane
instantly shifts her postion to in front of Shampoo. 
"We play game. Game is Cat and Mouse." Shampoo says as she throws a
water ballon at Akane. Akane reflexively breaks the ballon with a chop.
The water spills on her. 
 
As Shampoo watches the gi fall to the floor, she grins saying "Akane is
Mouse." 

Shampoo thinks as she watches Akane struggle out of her gi. 'to bad i
could not find the real jusenkyo water. however the instant jusenkyo
spring water salts do come in handy. till it wears off lets play and
have some fun!' 
 
As the little reddish brown mouse stares up at Shampoo from on top of
her gi, Shampoo brings out another water ballon. Shampoo smiles a feral
smile at the mouse as she says, "Shampoo is Cat." 
and breaks the ballon on her head. 
 
End chapter 1 

I do hope at least somebody enjoys this.
 
authors notes
Truthfully I can use some help with the next chapter. The action scenes
just do not work well.
ch2  Tom and Jerry (tentative title)

I do have a very good scene for the beginning of ch3, but I need some
info about some of the later manga stories to help.
When did  Nodoka meet Shampoo before or after she found out about the
curses?

thank you
