Well, heres a possible continuation.  Not sure where, if anyplace I'm going 
with this, but here's part three.  Suggestions, or even people giving me 
scenes welcome.

Married with Scouts p3.  The First Consequence.



The quiet moment lasted for a few eternities before chaos once more rose 
it's evil head, and the dining room wall exploded.

As the rubble settled Ranma heard two words he hated more than anything 
spoken once more.

"Ranma, Kill!"

Ranma shoved Setsuna out of the way and jumped in front of the others as a 
bonburi flashed out of the settling dust.  He caught the metal ball and 
stopped it cold, then intercepted the second as it followed close behind.  
He shouted, "Stop this, Shampoo!  If we have to fight, I'll meet you 
outside!"

The Amazon stopped in amazement.  "What?  You no try to run?  No try to hide 
fact betray wife?"  Large tear streaked purple eyes blinked at him.

"I didn't betray you Shampoo.  We were never married.  And no, I'm not 
running, nor will I let you hurt my wives either."  He held up a hand to 
Haruka, "No World Shakings either!  She's a human."

The blonde frowned.  "She just blew a hole in our house!"

Ranma sighed.  "I know, I know.  Let me speak to her."

Shampoo just stood and blinked.  "Shampoo not believe paper.  Shampoo know 
had be some trick."

Ranma nodded.  "Yep.  Your's."

Shampoo looked at him dumbfounded.  "How Ai Ren say such thing.  Shampoo 
search for lost Ranma after pervert girl kick."

"It was your potion that made this happen, Shampoo.  If you hadn't tried to 
douse me with it, none of this would have happened."

"Ayah.  Ai Ren not use marriage potion!"

"I didn't have much of a choice when it broke all over me."

The Amazon looked at the four girls,still naked, but holding a sword, a 
mirror, a long key shaped staff, and a glaive, and gave a heart broken wail 
as her bonburi dropped.  "Ai Ren is lost!  Marriage potion was for Shampoo!  
Now happiness stolen forever!"

Ranma folded his arms.  "You shouldn't have tried to use it on me.  You have 
only yourself to blame."

"Now Shampoo is doomed."  the purple haired girl said quietly.  "All can do 
now is kill self."  She stood and turned.  "Ai Ren not need worry about 
Shampoo any more.  Bie Lhao."

"What.  What the hell are you talking about, Shampoo?"

"Amazon Champion cannot be failure.  Granddaughter of Warleader cannot be 
less.  Shampoo Honor gone.  Only way save family shame is honorable death."

Ranma sighed.  "Great.  More problems on my head."

Hotaru looked pensive.  "Ranma, you can't just let her commit suicide."

Setsuna was looking at the Chinese girl more closely.  "You're Joketsuzoku, 
right?"

Shampoo shook her head.  "Shampoo is nothing anymore.  She have no honor, no 
home, no family."

Haruka sat down and grumped.  "Great.  She's a moper."  Michiru laid a hand 
on her shoulder.  "Be nice, love.  We don't know what she's been through."

"I know she's trying to steal our husband.  And he's softhearted enough to 
fall for it."

Hotaru shook her head.  "Haruka, we owe her for our happiness.  If it hadn't 
been for her, we wouldn't have our husband."

"We got caught in a spell she used to try and trap him!"

"Does it mean we love him any less?"  Michiru asked softly.  "Does it mean 
we want our happiness to be marred by such despair?"

Setsuna was still looking at the Amazon girl.  "Would you happen to be 
related to a girl named Cologne?  Looks a lot like you, with blue hair 
instead of purple?"

Shampoo blinked.  "Great Grandmother?  She no look like Shampoo.  She no 
want to see Shampoo after such failure."

"Great Grandmother?  It couldn't have been that long." Setsuna's brow 
wrinkled in thought.  "It wasn't that many years ago."

Haruka laughed.  "Right.  Setsuna, for you that could be centuries."

"I know I remember talking to her not that long ago.  We were discussing the 
Amazon laws, and I'm sure she mentioned something about a situation like 
this."

"Shampoo have one choice.  Honorable death."  She raised big tearfilled eyes 
to Ranma.  "Shampoo would have been good wife.  Have many strong babies for 
Ai Ren.  Daughter could have been Champion someday.  Now Shampoo have 
nothing."

Ranma, ever the man who couldn't stand to see a woman cry reached out a hand 
to Shampoo's shoulder.  "Maybe Setsuna's right.  Maybe there's a loophole in 
the laws.  Maybe Cologne knows something.  Look, I'll go with you to the old 
ghouls."

Shampoo looked at him in disbelief.  "Why Ai Ren care?  Only run from 
Shampoo before.  Thought would be happy to get rid of."

Ranma shrugged.  "I got you to thank for my wives.  Whatever the reason, I 
still love them.  I owe you is all.  Let's go see what the Ghoul has to 
say."

Shampoo's eyes fell as her shoulders slumped.  "As Ai Ren wishes.  Shampoo 
have nothing else to do."

Ranma sighed.  Why was his life never simple?
