			Chapter 3- The Power of a God
	Tinkerbell, Sandman, Akane and Ryouga ran toward the scream. It was only two blocks
away, but it seemed to take forever. When they got there, they found Ranma, looking at Shampoo
coldly and Shampoo jumping around and screaming.
"When I say get off, I mean get off!" Ranma said, in an evil-angry tone.
"Aiyaa! Shampoo's mouth on fire! Shampoo's mouth burn! Ow!" Shampoo moaned. Ryouga ran over 
to Ranma.
"You jerk! Why did you hurt Shampoo for no reason? You womanizing..." Ryouga shouted. Ranma held
Ryouga's hand, lifted him up (like Ryouga was a piece of paper), twirled him around and threw
through the Cat Cafe's front window.
"Man, you're worse than my brothers!" Ranma shouted, then she stormed off.
<Brothers? When did Ranma have brothers?> Akane thought.
"Swai! Swai!" Shampoo screamed.
"What?" Akane asked.
"Water! Water! Mean water! Water in China!" Shampoo screamed.
"Oh." Shampoo ran inside and came out chugging a *huge* jug of water.
"Ah... Shampoo feel better." Shampoo sighed.
After Shampoo settled down, Ryouga told his story and Akane told about this morning.
"He didn't want to fight? Weird." Ryouga said after Akane finished.
"But he didn't insult me, or laugh at me, he just left." Akane added.
"Well, what happen to you, Miss Shampoo?" Tinkerbell asked.
"Shampoo is sweeping stoop when Shampoo see Ranma. Shampoo say 'Nihao, Ranma!' Ranma don't hear
Shampoo. Shampoo hug Ranma..." Shampoo started.
"You mean you jumped on him, correct?" Akane asked, slyly.
"Let Shampoo finish. Shampoo hug Ranma and Ranma get really mad, not annoyed, mad. He yell, he scream,
he kick, he jump, then he stop. He ask Shampoo if kiss would make Shampoo leave..."
"That pervert!" Akane shouted. "I can't belive he asked that! Ooo, that jerk!" Shampoo ignored
her.
"Shampoo say yes. Shampoo just inch away, he no kiss... he blow fire in Shampoo's mouth. It hot,
it feel like bonfire in mouth. He like dragon, he breathe fire. Shampoo done." Shampoo finished.
"Wow. Fire? He couldn't do *that* last time." Ryouga said.
"He couldn't last night." Akane added.
"He's possessed." Sandman said quietly.
"He ate at the Cat Cafe yester... Shampoo!" Akane shouted.
"Aiyaa! What? Don't scare Shampoo!" Shampoo shouted.
"What did you put in his food?!" Akane asked.
"Nothing!" Shampoo shouted back.
"I bet you did it, you meant for him to breathe fire on me, well, it backfired!" Akane squealed.
"Shampoo do nothing!"
"He's possessed..." Sandman said alittle louder.
"You always do things like that, Shampoo." Ryouga said.
"Look! Shampoo use powder once, use trick once. Shampoo no stupid. You think Shampoo stupid and no
learn from mistake because she from China! Shampoo learn from mistake, Shampoo no do it!" Shampoo shouted.
They stared at her.
"Okay, okay, you didn't do it. Calm down." Ryouga said calmly.
"Shampoo bu bein, Shampoo bu bein, Shampoo bu bein. Bein Akane, Bein Ryouga"
Shampoo said under her breath. (bu=no, bein=stupid. They're in Chinese.)
"For the last time, RANMA IS POSSESSED BY HADES! HE IS LOOKING FOR PERSEPHONE! Okay?"
Sandman shouted in their faces.
"We got proof now. Okay? Now do you belive us?" Tinkerbell asked.
"Fine. Who's your daddy anyway?" Akane asked.
"Hermes, the messanger god. He tried to tell Ranma but Hades had left much earlier, so he failed."
"You meaning, Ranma dead?" Shampoo asked with tears in her eyes.
"No, no. It's just that his mind has no control. Hades has control now." Sandman said.
"Sadly, he's very strong, with or without Ranma. He's tear this world apart if he doesn't find her 
soon." Tinkerbell added.
"Don't you know?" Akane asked.
"No, no one does. Only Demeter, but she's not telling. We're trying but Hades is very 
impaient, he thinks we're too slow so..." Sandman explained.
"He went off to find her." Ryouga finished.
"Using Ranma body as protection." Shampoo added.
"To hide but our dad, Hermes, found out so he was going to tell Ranma but, it was too late."
"Persephone is hiding in a body too, but no one knows, I don't think even Demeter knows, who
she's in." Sandman continued.
"We found the location but thats it." Tinkerbell added.
"She's in Japan? Why?" Akane asked.
"Who knows?" Sandman asked.
"Who cares?" Tinkerbell added. Sandman batted her on the head.
"How long will it take?" Akane asked.
"If this keeps going and he doesn't find her soon..."
"What'll happen?" Ryouga asked.
"Your seasons will mess up and Ranma's ki will burn out."
 "Why?"
"Hades' power is too strong for Ranma to handle so his ki has put a barrier around to protect
itself but his ki will run out, and Ranma will die." Sandman finished. Shampoo started to whimper.
"Maybe, just maybe. Don't cry, please, Miss Shampoo." Tinkerbell pleaded.
"Persephone will also kill her host. So, we have to find her." Sandman added.
