Her second instinct was to recognize that seeing him in the flesh was much better than using her powers to do so.
Of course, this was something that Ranma took issue with, which he didn't try to hide as he splashed down into the water of the furo. "What are you guys doing?!"
"Protecting our home and Master," Nabiki drawled with a smirk. "There is an intruder here."
"Oh. Right," he allowed, and glanced over at where the newcomer was standing.
Not that she was trying to hide, but then the intruder wouldn't have had much trouble in garnering attention. She was a rather lovely girl after all, and it wasn't all just due to her having a pretty face. With full breasts, a tiny waist, and long legs that even her loose pants couldn't hide, she was the sort of beauty that boys drooled over. And she had the bonus of being exotic, since her appearance seemed to be one that spoke of a Chinese origin.
Oh, and the rather large sword that she was carrying helped draw attention to her as well.
"Look like this place not as simple as seems," murmured the purple haired girl.
"You got that right," Akane snapped. "What do you think you're doing here?!"
"Trying to finish what started earlier. Been looking for one called Ranma for very long time. But now, it seem that search at end."
"How interesting. And you think that we will just let you run in and do what you want?" commented Nabiki in a mock idle voice.
"Would hope so. But you have to get in way, no?"
"No way around it. We're going to protect our Master."
The Chinese girl blinked a bit before sending a thoughtful look towards the sisters. "Wait. You mean that he is your Master? Maybe skill with Japanese not so good. Maybe you mean teacher?"

"He enslave women?!"
"Hardly," the short haired Tendo sister scoffed. "He saved us from a rather horrible fate. Had he not shown up, we would have stayed as prisoners of some really nasty guys. So, we gave him our total services and loyalty."
"Ah... this is understandable. Good to pay debts. You be brides then?"
"Not really. We belong to him, no matter who he dates or marries, or where he goes."
"That good to know. Does not change much though."
Her words drew a snort from the youngest Tendo. "Funny how you decided that on your own when you haven't even introduced yourself!"
"Didn't do that? Oh, sorry for that. I Xian Pu."
"I don't care if you wash your hair!"
"What you talk about?"
"You just said that you Shampoo!"
"Not 'shampoo', Xian Pu!" the stranger insisted. "Is name!"
"Huh?"
"I do believe that her name is 'Shampoo', just like the hair cleaner, dear sister," Nabiki told her sibling.
"Is so!" confirmed the Chinese girl.
"See?"
"Well, can't blame me for that mistake," Akane groused.
"Yes, but that still leaves the ball in her court. It all depends on what she does."
