"I wouldn't do so if I didn't. Why would you think...." Nabiki trailed off before a realization passed through her mind. "They went with what they knew about."
"Is so."
"Would someone like to explain just what exactly you two are talking about?" Akane asked.
"It's really quite simple, little sister. Originality apparently isn't exactly one of the major traits of criminal types," the middle Tendo sister replied.
"Huh?"
"They saw what they could do, and decided to counteract what their enemies were trying."
"That basically the case," the Chinese girl put in, resting her palm on the pommel of her sword as she laid the tip against the floor. "Triad decided that they would beat Yakuza at own game."
"Which didn't exactly mean anything good for our new friend here."
"Can say that again. They think that Amazons make for good choice as slave. People would want to have strong girl from culture dedicated to Art, but have pride cut, so that she be good weapon and toy."
"That doesn't seem to be very nice of them," Kasumi murmured.
"That the point. No be nice to Amazon girl. Be nice to mob boss who want to have sexy bodyguard girl who he can dress up in skimpy outfit, but no be nice to Amazons."
"Basically, it's a power issue. These 'Amazons' were probably thought of like some stupid interpretation of the concept, where they would see those girls to be anti-'male', very strong, and sensual," Nabiki commented, giving off a harsh snort. "Given an opportunity, a lot of guys would love to dominate a girl like that, enjoying having her being obedient and loyal to him."
Akane growled under her breath. "Stupid jerks. Always trying to show how much of a selfish pervert they could be. And it seems to be catching."
"Oh dear, do you think that is really the case," the eldest of the sisters gasped.
"Of course. Where one idiot leads, the other morons will follow."
"That wouldn't be good, would it?"
Shampoo held her free hand palm up. "Already have Triads, Yakuza, Cartels and Russian mob involved."
"The Russians are into it?" the short haired Tendo blurted.
"Why think was to be sent to Balkans?"
"Things just get better and better...."
"Ain't it though?" Akane grumbled, and crossed her arms over her chest. "There is just one thing that I have to ask."
"What would that be?"
"What exactly happened with you?" the youngest of the sister asked their visitor.
"Ah, is good question. Well... Shampoo hit by stuff meant for her to be 'good slave warrior girl'," the purple haired girl admitted, her voice tinged with derision.
"Sounds nasty."
"Could be. You see, gives benefits in form of removing all little problems from Shampoo. Scars and blemishes from training? Poof, gone. Few new powers. Now, if that all, Shampoo could live with it."
Something told the girl with the blue-black hair that she knew what was coming. "But they added other stuff."
"Yes. Added 'com-pul-shons'. Make Shampoo have 'Needs', and feelings that always there. Have urge to follow orders of Master or Mistress, and need to serve as protector and warrior to same. Plus...."
"You want sex."
"Can not disagree," Shampoo admitted, her head drooping so that her long hair blocked some of her face. "There desire to have sex with Master, and want to be his toy for sex. Would have no way to refuse, and would want him to have full enjoyment at Shampoo expense. It no matter if Shampoo like the guy or not, as they make it so that she focus on him. They just be nasty nasty men who no care about anything but what they want."
"Which was why I was happy to get you guys outta there. There was no way that I'd leave anyone ta suffer like that," Ranma revealed, thankful that he'd been able to keep his modesty so far.
"Which Shampoo thank you for. Unfortunately, no can go back to Village like this."
"Ya can't?"
"Village meant to have girls grow to be strong women who control own destinies. Shampoo now have major desire to let boy use her chest as play pillows. No way those two match," the curvy Amazon told him.
"Well, that's screwed up. So, why'd you come here?"
"There important reason for that," Shampoo responded, and gazed at him, while:
