Akane Tendou awoke with a start and looked around her room searching for
whatever had awoken her, then she turned to her window as Shampoo tapped
again.

"What are you doing here?"  Akane opened the window and moved aside as the
amazon girl came in and sat on her bed, "Tomorrow's a school day and we've
got some tests."

"Shampoo sorry, but very important,"  Shampoo looked around Akane's room,
"Is Ryouga here?"

"And what would Ryouga be doing in my bedroom?  What is it?"

"Great-grandmother ask Shampoo when you beat her."

"I haven't, well at least not at anything other than ping-pong."

"Was draw."

"So, what's the problem?"

"Then Great-grandmother ask why Shampoo give kiss of death."

"Just explain that you've taken it back."

"Is no good.  Give kiss of death to romantic rival is great crime.
Shampoo be executed."

"Oh."

"Shampoo think only one way out.  Now Great-grandmother want see we
lovers."

"Damn it!  I told you to be discreet!  If this gets out I'll be ruined."

"Shampoo sorry."

"Oh kitten, it'll be OK, we'll work it out."  Akane held her lover tightly
and kissed her.
