[Episode 189526] [Episode 189526]Ranma was feeling good about himself, especially the fact he didn't have to worry about his greatest fear. No longer would he have to run in terror from a cute fluffy kitten, humiliation filling him as he looked so silly. Now he could walk proud, all thanks to Shampoo and her treatment. It was worth the time they spent together if this could keep him from ever falling into the nekoken ever again. The gains of the martial arts style did not out way the loss of sanity.
Ranma thoughts turned back to the purple hair woman in his life and was still surprised at the fact he hadn't realized how cute and sexy she was. He thought about it, "I have always admitted she had a beautiful body with sexy breasts, legs and ass. Her face is cute with those pout lips, button noise, bright eyes and mane of purple hair. I guess it just hasn't hit me all at once before. There is also the fact that we have something in common with martial arts, me with my Saotome School of Anything Goes and she with her Amazon style martial arts."
As he thought about Shampoo, other women began to force themselves into his thoughts. Those being the three other contenders for his hand... and the rest of his body. Kodachi, Ukyo and Akane. Or those were the opinion of many of the others who he had to deal with in life. In his mind only three out of the four could even hope to compete for his heart, since even with her physical beauty it was the who inner person who repulsed Ranma from Kodachi.
'In many ways it's like dealing with a female version of her brother, each as warped in their brains and souls. She wants ta kiss me as a guy and kill me as a girl, the reverse of her brother. Even if I was interested in her, I would have to deal with her creepy kin. Yuck, just give me a way to end it with their clan.' Ranma knew that he would never be interested in Kodachi as she was now, and even with therapy it would be dicey as well.
'Ukyo is another problem. She cute, I have ta admit, it's still like she's my old best buddy from grade school. I still see her as the non-sexual friend I go ta in time of need. Yet I just can't end it with her because all of the troubles I caused her, or more exactly my pops caused her. If there was only a way ta find her a boyfriend her clan would like better then me. A boyfriend she could love more then she likes me, like someone who could go in ta the restaurant business with her like she dreams of.' With the thoughts most of his suitors in his mind that left Akane and Shampoo.
'Akane... can be very cute when she wants ta be and has a great smile. Still I have ta deal with her problems like her anger and jealousy issues, then there is her cooking. I am just getting sick of her getting me into painful situations just because she thinks I'm being a pervert or being a jerk. Like leaving me to the swim team when they thought it was me, not the old pervert, who stole their panties just because she thought I was spending too much time with Ukyo.' Ranma remember it well, not because it was yesterday, but because he still had lumps on his head.
'Her cooking is improving with time, she is starting ta make a bland curry which doesn't taste as rancid as her other dishes. Nothing as good as Kasumi, Ukyo or the Amazons... but something that can be eaten with other trouble. I just wished their was a way ta teach her ta control her emotions and help her learn ta cook at that same time.' It was like lightning when the idea hit him. So much so he had to look up in the sky looking for clouds.
'If Shampoo's method can cure me from having ta run from cats, perhaps I can use it ta make Akane a little nicer. Course, Akane wouldn't let Shampoo do it ta her and she wouldn't let me do it ta her either, but maybe Shampoo could teach Kasumi and she can do it ta her sister.' The idea of a calmer, better cooking Akane did look like an improvement. Still he was wondering if the relationship between him and Akane wasn't changing the more time they spent together, morphing into something less romantic and more brotherly.
Once again his mind turned to Shampoo and he thought over the reasons he wasn't chasing her as much as she was chasing him. A few reasons still kept coming up, 'Fact of the matter is, I'm not sure I want ta go back ta China ta live out my life. Visiting it would be fun every once and a while would be fun, it might also help with my training if I can find some of those rare masters hidden in the countryside. But Japan is my homeland and I'm not sure that I want to leave it. Plus there is the things Hiroshi and Daisuke says Amazons do, like keeping men for breeding stalk. Or doing all of the fighting while then men keep house.'
'I'm still not sure what they said is true. Sure the old ghoul and Shampoo are powerful fighters like those two said, there's Mousse to deal with and his Hidden Weapon style. That style looks like a cheap magic trick, yet what I see from trying it myself is it needs a lot of training with a person's ki. Training ones ki ta hold the little pockets needs an excess of ki, which course means you have ta training your body physically ta hold that ki.' Ranma had to express a lack of understanding of the kind of village Shampoo had come from, especially since he only knew what he did from one visit and the Amazons who followed him to Japan.
'I could learn more about it when I go back to Shampoo for more of my treatments. I still need at least five more of those before my fears are gone for good. Still it will be nice to get to see Shampoo without worrying about being attack by anyone else or being force on a date or something else.' Ranma thought as he finally arrived at the Tendo home and Dojo.
