Cologne had waited long enough and closed the Nekohanten before leaving to look for her great-granddaughter (and Mousse too incidentally ). She had complained of being somewhat ill and feverish yesterday. She had caught her staring at Mousse and scream "Airen !" before running like mad. Mousse had followed later screaming "Shampoo !".
The matriarch had noticed the arousal symptoms and checked up her spice cabinet. No one had touched it so whatever was influencing Shampoo and Mousse didn't come from here.
Later, she had to throw out the restaurant's clients. They were taken by a mating frenzy the likes she had never seen. The elder admitted that she would like to know what could provoke such reactions better than any known amazon potion.
Her first stop would be the Tendo dojo. Weird events were often centered around son-in-Law. She jumped in the Tendo yard and boggled at the sight. Ranma was here, surrounded by women, many of them she didn't know. A quick check of their auras revealed that many of the newcomers were good martial artists or magically-enhanced. Their chi was strange as she could see tendrils linking all of them to each other and Ranma. What happened here !?
"Ahem !" That got their attention "Shampoo, Son-in-Law, could you explain to me what happened to you yesterday for your auras to link with all the young women here ?" Her eyes squinted. There was something else in the girls' chi. Oh, dear... "And why they are no longer virgins ?" Everyone blushed and stammered.
"Oh my... Elder Cologne, would you like a cup of tea ?" Kasumi had to be a good hostess to her future sister's family "It is a long story"
"Thank you, miss Tendo. Now, Son-in-Law, spill... Why have you cheated on my Great-Granddaughter ? How did it happen ?"
*****
"Er... Is she okay ?" Ranma waved a hand in front of the matriarch's eyes, no reaction "Yo, old ghoul ! Anyone here !?"
"Aiyaah... Great-Grandmother's mind broken. Shampoo knew this would happen..." The amazon girl was frantically trying to awaken her elder.
"Old age must have caught up to her... *WHAP !* Ouch !" Cologne's staff bopped Ranma on the head "I heard that, child..."
"I must say, Son-in-Law, I would never have dreamed something like THIS would happen. Since your land views multiple marriages as illegal, I would like to invite all of you back to my village as Shampoo's co-wives to Ranma" Shampoo would be disappointed to share her husband but Cologne thought of all the strong children that would come of such an arrangement.
"Sorry to disappoint you but we found another solution. We'll stay in Japan but thank you for your offer..." Nabiki turned to Shampoo and the amazon nodded "Shampoo will also stay here with us"
All the girls looked intently at Cologne "We're a family now, thanks to this bond, and we will take care of our own. Do you understand, elder Cologne of the chinese amazons ?" Even Ranma managed to express resolve in his expression.
Cologne sighed in defeat. They were right, shampoo was part of a greater whole now and to take Ranma and her back to China would hurt them all. There was something that bothered her nonetheless "I have no heir of my blood left then..."
"Oh, don't worry about it !" Rouge happily declared, hating to see this old woman so dejected "Shampoo is pregnant ! We're all pregnant in fact ! Surely you will find a suitable heir then !"
Everyone saw cologne's eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets and the amazon elder fall unconscious with a silly grin on her face. If Ranma and shampoo had a daughter... She would have to find the nearest temple and make offerings to ensure that !
