Shampoo was alive, but barely. How {Ukyo : Kyoko} could consider her wounds 'not
serious', she did not know. She was worried intensely about her friend,
but the voice of experience inside her told her to trust Kayoko, that the
Tendo girl would somehow be able to help. It was that feeling that had
allowed her to run for hours while Shampoo lay perched across Kayoko's
shoulder, dripping blood with every step.
"There are two teeth - Shoryoutensei and Garyoutensei. They are called
teeth quite simply because they are blades carved from the teeth of
dragons. Genma carried both teeth. Before I was born he gave {her : my mother : Mother} one of
the two teeth; the one known as Shoryoutensei. He asked that it be given
to me when I was old enough. The other, he kept for himself."
"You and I, Ranma, we are the gatekeepers," Kayoko said, her hair whipping
behind her in the increasingly violent wind that circled around the
protective shell of her wings. "All life is bound to us. I create life
upon this Earth, you return it so that it may rest before being born again.
You ask how, and I say that is what we are destined to do. The decision
is ours to make. It was not merely me who saved her - it was both of us."
It seems that much was lost in the next 800 years for the pair to go
from complements to opponents.
