Later...
Shampoo could not believe the success she was getting with her plan with the aid of the Damiyo's Path, more results then all of the time that she had spent in this country trying to gain her husband. Yet her mind was clear enough for her to know that the seeds of success can bring the weeds of failure, so one had to tend to the garden with care in case something was to happen during the growing season.
'I need now more then ever to plan my work and work my plan, or else everything I have put together here will turn to dust on me. An amazon must seek perfection in all she does no matter her role in the village from simple farmer to matriarch of an entire village. One might not be able to reach perfection but that should be ones goal. My perfection is to have my husband without any problems from other sources like my rivals, Airen's rivals and the various adults and parents. Which is why I have 'made' friends with Nabiki and why I am going to perform this next mission.' thought the purple haired vixen as she headed to the location she had scouted out.
'To gain my husband's hand, I require the favor of his parents. Of course the stupid panda is not going to be willing to sacrifice his dreams of uniting my beloved and one of the Tendos. The path has many way to altered the choices of tough father-in-laws, but there may be a better way to cause him to rethink things. Besides, Ranma's opinion of his father is not the most important one to my Airen. No, the answer to both of those distractions are summed up with one woman. Nodoka Saotome, my future mother-in-law. If I can get her favor, Ranma will feel better about his relationship with me as well as the fact with the right help she could alter the mind of her fearful husband.' planned out the crimson eyed woman as she approached the Saotome Family home, getting things ready for her mission.
The main weapon which she had armed herself with another food based mind altering method, but she had decided against the tea due to the fact that Ranma knew about the drink being used to 'cure' his fears. It might be too dangerous to use to close to home. She had decided on bring a dessert to the woman who had given birth to her beloved. It was a type of Japanese treat known as an Imagawayaki, which was round piece of batter filled with different types of sweet fillings. Most of the time it was an Azuki bean paste used in the center, but other more wider flavors had been using including potato and mayonnaise.
'I decided to use peach filling for the treats with a certain selection of special marked Imagawayaki to know which are safe to eat and which are the ones with the special ingredients in them. Then I use my MP3 player as well as my unique trick and gain an ally I need. Not time to gather up the courage to meet her.' With this she began to knock on the Saotome home.
Nodoka had just gotten use to seeing her son again after seeing the truth of the matter when her husband's curse was revealed. She also seemed to favor Akane above all of the other women after her son, yet seemed to be okay with any perverted behavior or women-chasing if it went to proving him a man among men. So the footing with this meeting with her possible mother-in-law was more then a sure thing. Especially since all of the females after Ranma except the Tendo daughters had basically destroyed their home looking for what they thought was a family heirloom wedding ring... which turned out to be a ring box.
Steps were heard on the other door as the portal opened to reveal the Saotome matriarch dressed in regal kimono. "Hello Shampoo? What has brought you to my new home?"
The words of the elder female was both polite and yet marked on the misdeeds delivered on her by Shampoo and others. Shampoo knew that she would have to work on the problem as soon as possible to avoid an unhappy marriage. The younger woman spoke, "Shampoo is shamed of what Shampoo do to your home. Wish to make up to you and see how Shampoo repay you for Shampoo's mistakes. Start off by giving Saotome-san too too sweet treat! Can Shampoo come in and share too too good treats?"
The woman gave the girl a hard look and then relaxed as she said, "Alright, I am a little hungry and could use a snack. Welcome to my home and please be careful this time."
With this she lead the amazon into the new home, with a basket of delicious treats which would be changing her mind in just a short period of time. It was all Shampoo could do to hide her cat ate the canary smile.
