Shampoo was heading back to the Nekohanten to try and convince Cologne and Mousse to break apart Ranma and his new girl by telling them that Ranma was cheating on her, after all, (in her mind) no one was better than her great-grandmother. She conviently forgot about Herb's, Happosai's and Ranma's abilities. (While Cologne could beat any one of these three in terms of skill, all three had more power than her. Herb had as much Ki control as she did, but had much more, she was never able to defeat Happosai, and Ranma defeated Saffron and Herb.) As she turned the corner to the Nekohanten she spotted someone she knew was better than her, Pantyhose Taro. Smirking to herself, she knew that he would attack Ranma just for the hell of it. She went up to him and started talking, "What monster-boy doing in town?"
Taro blinked in shock that someone snuck up on him, not that he was putting any effort into sensing his surroundings, it still surprised him, turning around he saw that chinese amazon that lived in town. He had a few run-ins with Amazons before, and most of the time they weren't good, and the Amazons usually left the fight in either a casket or in a wheelchair, she was one of the few that got off 'easy'. "Looking for the pervert, what do you want cat-girl?" Smirking his annoying smirk Taro looked at her.
Shampoo frowned at him, but then smiled, "Shampoo know how to get old pervert to change name."
This caught Taro's attention. "Yeah, go on."
"Ranma has girlfriend, and if monster-boy beat up girlfriend really bad and break apart, Shampoo make sure great-grandmother capture old pervert and have him change name." Sure she was lying through her teeth, but there was no need for him to know.
Taro however knew about fem-boy's girlfriend, he had met her when she and Ranma first met. Through some 'certain' circumstances, i.e. name-calling, fem-boy and him got into a fight, and that jagwere got involved as well when he turned into his monster form. While Taro was stronger and tougher, he couldn't keep up with the two of them and eventually lost. After that, while he and fem-boy weren't friends, they were at least civil to one another, and Taro had to admit that fem-boy's girlfriend was really nice. 'Too bad she's with fem-boy, other than the eldest Tendo girl and Rouge, she's the only one who doesn't care about my name.' He thought to himself.
Besides, he knew that Happosai would never change his name, no matter what. Still, he liked fighting fem-boy as he was a great sparring partner, that and the fact that fem-boy had set him up with Rouge. "Sure, why not, it's been a while since fem-boy and I fought." And with that Taro took off towards the condo. 'Heh, hope those two are decent, last time I barged in there those two were still going at it.' Taro thought to himself as he chuckled.
Shampoo smiled as she no longer had anything to worry about, with Taro and eventually Mousse and her great-grandmother, Ranma and this new girl would be broken apart faster then when a chicken egg hits the side of a metal barn. (Too bad she didn't know that Kasumi was way ahead of her.)
