Shampoo decided to test the amulet by working on her main bone of contention, the relationship with her airen, Ranma. She wanted to see the physical differences between the relationships between Ranma and the four women after him.
Instantly, there were was an image of four faces before her which was made of the four fiancees. In the centre of the face was Ranma's face. The four women were connected to Ranma by four threads. Shampoo grinned like a cat as she realized this might be the real thing. Now to see what the connections meant.
Kodachi, was made of a thin rope which was frayed in multiple points. It looks like it was made of brittle glass at the same time, able to break break and shatter at any moment. It's strongest point was at Kodachi's end, while only a strand was holding on Ranma's end. It began as red on Kodachi's end which represent love and desire but ended up grey on Ranma's end as a sort of apathy.
Ukyo's thread looked like it was made of good ribbon, made up of steel. It also was red on Ukyo's side as it faded to green on Ranma's end, a sign of yellow friendship in the language of roses as well as the blue of family bonds. Akane's looked like a find chain of diamonds which was changing different shades of purple, romance mixed with family bonds. This time it was on both ends of the rope, which seemed to represent the lead which Akane experienced.
Shampoo's rope was a slightly frayed rope of hemp, with a red colour on her end and a grey side on Ranma's end with a few sploches of red and yellow colours on Ranma's end.
'If I look closer to the threads, see why they look this way. Seems first impressions are important in the forming of all of these relationships. Akane showed friendship and kindness to Airen when he needed it, which even after poor and more violent treatment later, kept his emotions towards the red in this rope. Plus living in the Tendo home, made Airen feel like family.
Ukyo started as a friend and a subsitute brother, which explains her colouring on their rope. Even after becoming a fiancee.
Kodachi and myself gave bad impressions, which left him with apathic towards us. Ranma can't really bring up the blackness of hatred on anyone, except the old goat. He does have some sexual attraction to me, but the fact is even though Pervert Girl calls him a pervert... he more of a prude then anything else. Sexuality makes him nervious, in part because he was sheltered from it and part because any action on that part would bring a Fiancee/Rival battle to end all battles.
I can handle the fiancees later, now that I know these are the true Infinity Gems. I can even handle the rivals. Remove them from the game or place them on my side. No, today is the time to change my relationship with my Airen.' thought Shampoo as she dismissed the images she had seen.
'The obvious idea is to use the Mind and the Soul Gems. The Mind Gem to effect the emotions of Ranma, since controlling emotions lie in the mind and under that gem's control. The Soul Gem is needed to change the issue of the bonding between Ranma's and Akane's soul, which seem to be crystalizing into Soulmates. Just replace Pervert Girl with me, maybe just leaving Ranma thinking of her as a sister or leaving him as apathic to her as he is to me at this point.
The second obvious trick is to use the Time Gem and travel back in time while using the Power Gem to be invisible and intangable. Like a ghost I would arrive before Airen visited the village, and either make sure he arrives in the village as a male or use the power of the gems to make sure hot water hit him and turned him male before he battled me on the challenge log. I would give him a much warmer welcome and 'reward' then, plus without the fear of the other women over his head I might be able to seduce him with my... sexual nature.
A third trick is to amplify my seduction abilities by using the magical properties of the gemstones. Using astral projection and telepathy to enter and control Ranma's dreams to seduce him there, while telekinesis is used to stimulate his body. Make pheromones to enflame Ranma's sexual hungers to make them equal to his physical hungers. Use the gems to mold my body into physcial perfection. Sneak in subtle changes in Ranma's mind like making him favour women with larger breasts like mine then smaller ones like Pervert Girl's. Using telepathy to know what Ranma wants in a woman.
Or I can take a moment to think out the next move I take. Maybe asking my great grandmother for help in using this gift.
What to do?'
