Back at the Nekohaten...
Shampoo was going over the events of the day in her mind and was regretting missing a chance to deepen the connection between herself and her beloved in his mind. She remembered, 'Shampoo should have masturbated herself so she could get her juices on her hand and then offered it to Shampoo's airen. Let him smell those juices and then taste them so they could be on his mind always. Still Shampoo has a chance to make sure that happens the next time we meet for the special 'treatment' for Ranma's fear of cats. So Shampoo's plans are going without a hitch so far, but I have to be prepared for any kind of trouble which could pop up when I'm not looking.'
The major danger was the twin pains in the neck of Nabiki Tendo and Sasuke the Kuno family ninja. Each one of them was a master of gathering information on the lives of those involved with Ranma Saotome. The question would have to be which one of the two would be the major threat to her own plans, which was a simple answer as the Tendo daughter had a power of manipulating all of the players of the game. Sasuke himself was afraid of her as she could convince any member of the Kuno family that the ninja wasn't performing his duties well.
'So Shampoo has to get mercenary girl on her side as soon as possible so Shampoo can get to Ranma without being interrupted. Besides, if Shampoo has sneaky girl on her side Shampoo can use her to convince pervert girl not to chase airen.' Shampoo thought, using the little nicknames she had for the Tendo girls rather then there names due to her current dislike of the two girls. Shampoo still had a major obstacle to overcome if she was to win the next phase of her plans.
'How is Shampoo going to 'convince' sneaky girl to help Shampoo get married to beloved and convince sister to give up Ranma? It's true that sneaky girl takes advantage of her sister for her own profit, yet they are still family and they stick up for each other. Shampoo would have to find way to convince sneaky girl it would be best for her family if Ranma married Shampoo and didn't honour their engagement. Yet Shampoo doesn't want sneaky girl hating Ranma or it might cause problems for Shampoo.' Shampoo lay on her bed in thought, knowing she would not be disturbed as she had told everyone she was meditation on her situation.
She turned to a secret loose floorboard under her bed where she hid some of her most prized possessions from Mousse and her Great Grandmother, which currently held the Daimyo's Path. she pulled out the book and began to read more of the other methods of maintaining control over those in ones court who could cause the leader the most trouble. Included in those pages were ways to maintain the loyalty of ones servants.
She sorted through the options she had for the control of servants and come across one which might work with managing the Tendo sister. It was a few simple pressure points on the head which would make a person love and admire the purse who used the technique. It would also bring complete loyalty to the master who used the method, which was what Shampoo was looking for most. Once the trick was used, she would have a spy within the Tendo home which could help her catch her husband's attention and distract the main threats to her marital happiness.
'The real issue now is trying to get alone with the mercenary girl so Shampoo could conduct business with the woman. The most useful option is to create a meeting with her for information about Shampoo's airen. It would make the idea of being alone with sneaky girl easier to swallow for sneaky girl, then Shampoo can strike like cobra and bring sneaky girl under Shampoo's control.' Shampoo began to make plans for the middle Tendo sister, one where she would have an ally in the enemies camp in case she needed it.
As well she also made plans for Ranma's next treatment, one where she would encourage her husband to think more fondly about her. Shampoo thought to herself, ' Shampoo took it slowly with airen, Shampoo just gave him a hand job to imprint a positive image in his mind when thinking about Shampoo and the thoughts given to him. If Shampoo was to get sneaky girl under her control, Shampoo might be to go farther with her airen. Shampoo will let airen use his lips on Shampoo's precious treasure so he can get a taste and smell of Shampoo's juices. Imprinting the smell and taste in his mind and making him think of wife more. Making him want his wife more as well, till Ranma come to Shampoo.'
The purple haired amazon knew she had to plan things out carefully since it was still possible for her husband to slip from her control. She wanted to gain a little control over her life, yet she didn't want to become a tyrant born of corruption. The only thing she wanted was for her husband to love her as much as she desired him. Which was why she was focusing on just a few selective changes for him.
'Shampoo wants her husband to love and lust for his wife, to want Shampoo more then any other women he might come across. Airen must also loose fear of cats if Shampoo is to have a happy marriage. Even if great grandmother is able to remove the curse Shampoo is under, it would only make airen stronger and happier in the long run. The only real other issue Shampoo see might be a problem for her marriage is the fact airen doesn't like to fight girls, he doesn't treat them like real opponents but thinks of them like china dolls. Shampoo wants an airen who would spar with his wife, teach Shampoo his martial arts as she teach him hers.' The outline of a plan is coming together as she thought of what she wanted to do with her husband.
'Shampoo does know what Shampoo doesn't want to do with husband. Shampoo doesn't want her husband to be a slave to Shampoo, always agreeing with wife even if he doesn't agree with what Shampoo is saying. Arguments might not be a happy thing to live through, it can make a person stronger over time. Plus great grandmother always says that make up sex is some of the best sex one can have, which is not possible if husband always agreeing with wife.' She thought as she made a note of what she didn't want in her man. Ranma might be a little rough around the edges and hard to live with, it was those qualities and more which cause her to fall in love with him.
She moved on to the side plans which would have to occur while she was having her main plan move forward. She would have to make sure her husband parents would accept her as their daughter-in-law, convince the Tendo patriarch to at least delay the engagement pact for a generation, and making sure that her rivals were interested in other men and not her husband. She knew the male rivals which Ranma faced could easily be beaten by the young martial artist even if it took some extra training to perfect. So many options, so little time.
