I do not own Ranma ½ or its characters; Rumiko Takahashi does and I make no money from writing this story.
Shampoo
One more chapter to go, it is called Aftermath and is just a quick summary of what happens to our characters a couple months in the future. It is rather sappy and done with a Christmas holidays theme. What can I say, there are damned Christmas lights everywhere and the holiday spirit is sneaking up on me. Guess I’ll have to put up my black Christmas tree with Halloween themed decorations. Sid the Goth!
Btw, thanks to those who have reviewed.

Ranma and Mousse were surprised when Cologne summoned them to the Neko Hanten. Mousse was reluctant to go as he felt that he’d been betrayed by them and didn’t really wish to see them. His feelings towards Shampoo were those of bitterness and resentment, given that she had said that she wished for him to die.
“Are you coming Mousse? I can go on my own if you want” Ranma volunteered.
“No I’m going, Cologne’s still my tribal leader no matter what and therefore I have to obey her summons” Mousse explained.
They were met at the door by a grave looking Cologne “son-in-law, you came. I’m glad of it because Shampoo’s in danger and you need to act fast” she said and led them into Shampoo’s room. Both boys gasped to see her lying only semi-conscious on her bed, Ranma recognized the dead look in her eyes from his dealings with Mousse in the cave.
“The oni” he said and Mousse nodded.
Mousse turned to Cologne “it’s the same oni that was attacking me isn’t it?”
“Yes Mu Tzu, it has been draining her life force for weeks. But there’s a difference between the attacks on you and the attacks on her. She’s the one who set it on you, apparently once you were saved, she’s been sending after other people of her acquaintanceship. However they proved not to be virgins, so it returned to feed from her pure soul every night” Cologne explained.
“It was her!” Mousse cried; his mind was in turmoil that the woman he’d loved for most of his life offered to sacrifice him as if he were disposable as a Kleenex. “Whatever for?” he demanded.
“She wanted Ranma to fall in love with her and the oni promised her he would if he got a proper sacrifice. She chose you because she knew you had to be a virgin in your blind devotion to her”
Mousse could only look, with a mixture of disgust and pity, at the semi-comatose girl “She actually wanted to murder all those people for a silly crush?” he asked sadly.
“Mousse are you okay?” Ranma asked.
“No I’m not okay, she tried to kill me” he snapped. “How could you do that?” he shouted to her. He felt like throttling her, he wanted to rip out her lavender hair by the roots; he wanted to destroy her deceptively beautiful face and stomp on her perfect body until there was nothing left. Shampoo swam back into consciousness just long enough to shrink from his rage.
Cologne touched him in a surprisingly consoling way “your anger won’t solve anything for now, that can be dealt with after her life is spared. I can assure you that this won’t go unpunished and that you shall receive retribution” she told him and then turned to Ranma. “Ranma as you are her Amazon husband, according to tribal law, it’s up to you to take her virginity”
“W-what” Ranma stammered in shock.
“The oni has been feasting on her because she’s a virgin and most likely her life will be forfeit tonight. However it won’t want her life force and will return it to her, if she isn’t a virgin upon its arrival. Once she gets her life force back, then I have a spell to read that should seal it back in its dimension” she said.
Ranma looked from one to the other and then at Shampoo “Mousse, I can’t do this. I promised Akane I would never have sex with another girl” he said with a pleading look in his blue eyes.
Cologne’s head snapped up “you are with Miss Tendo now and have pledged yourself to her? These are grave tidings indeed”
“Yes he has and that severs all claim to him that Shampoo ever had as he's an outsider. Check tribal law about that!” Mousse snapped.
Cologne looked at him “well that leaves you free to claim her as her substitute husband as she’s incapacitated. You must do this Mousse; you can’t let the future leader die. Besides you’ve always wanted her” Cologne pleaded with him not as a leader, but as a great-grandmother whose great-granddaughter was dying before her eyes.
Mousse laughed bitterly “So isn’t this ironic, you refused to even consider the idea of my marrying Shampoo before. You headed me off at ever turn when I even came close to winning her heart and becoming your son-in-law, yet offered that title freely to an outsider. You called me worthless and an embarrassment to the tribe. Yet now I do have a worth and all that it is, is that I have a cock to fuck your great-grandmother with. I will do this because I can’t let her die, but after this I want you both to return to China. I never want to see you again and I especially don’t want to see this bitch again” Mousse said.
“Then you don’t want Shampoo anymore?” Cologne asked, wondering why Mousse was acting so different. She realized that he now had become the sort of man that Shampoo wanted and now he didn’t want her.
“She can go to hell for all I care. I’m not returning with you, I have better things to do with my time than spend my life being bossed around by women and told I’m worthless. Like you’ve always done Granny” he snapped at her.
“You will speak with respect to your elder’s boy” she snapped.
“Keep it up and she dies a virgin” Mousse said threateningly. “Now get out of here, I have to fuck your great-granddaughter” Mousse snapped. He was full of anger and wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. He glared at Shampoo as all his illusions about her shattered. He no longer saw the pretty young girl he played with, the beautiful young woman she’d become or pictured how their children would look. All he saw was a heartless, conniving, spoiled bitch. He mourned that his life used to revolve around this ungrateful woman.
Seeing the fire in his eyes, Cologne said “please do this for me because I love her” she requested. “Don’t hurt her” she said and departed, taking Ranma with her.
Mousse sigh and bent to the task of undressing Shampoo and took in the sight of her fully nude body for the first time in his life. He admired the way that her lavender hair draped prettily around her adorable curves all the way to her rump. She was delicately, yet powerfully built, her skin pale and smooth. Her breasts were round and firm with large red upstanding nipples; her waist was slim above the gentle slop of her hips and tapered to slimly powerful legs that terminated in small, well tended feet. She was a beautiful in her first bloom of youth. She looked both alluring and innocent at the same time, yet Mousse felt revulsion at the idea of touching her. All he could see was her corrupted soul and scheming ways. Shampoo tried protesting weakly, but lacked the strength to even cover herself against his probing eyes.
“Sorry Shampoo, this is for your own good” he said and stripped himself. Her eyes went wide to see a naked man before her.
She shivered and made an eeping sound when he placed his hands on the curves of her breasts. Mousse felt sick, even though he’d pretty much been ordered to do this, this was rape pure and simple. He forced himself lean forward and suck on her nipples, trailing his tongue around them lazily, trying to arouse himself. His fingers stroked downwards and combed through her soft tangle of lavender pubic hair.
“Mousse stop” she pleaded to feel his hands so close to her pussy. Then cried out when a finger dipped into the top of her slit to caress her clit, her face went red with shame to be handled this way by someone she thought of as weak and inferior.
“I’m sorry but this is necessary” he replied and kissed down her body, each kiss was punctuated by a soft ‘aiyi’ and a sharp gasp when fingers spread her virgin lips widely open and a hot tongue was thrust into her core. Shampoo moaned in distress at the mounting pleasure as Mousse ate her thoroughly and meticulously out, leaving no inch untasted. He nibbled on her clit while he explored the dark wet silk of her still virgin channel. He could feel her juices flowing heavily into his mouth, yet he wasn’t aroused himself. Until he closed his eyes and pretended that the girl he was with had grey eyes and dark hair, then he had no trouble achieving an erection. He redoubled his efforts and forced Shampoo to the orgasm that she’d been trying to fight off.
He didn’t even wait for her to finish and quickly moved up her body. He took her with one quick thrust, she cried out and then whimpered. Mousse paused and allowed her time to get used to him; he wanted nothing more then to pound his hatred into her. He wanted her to hurt the way she’d hurt him. He wanted each brutal thrust to pay her back for her rejection of him, every insult she’d visited upon him, her lack of love for him, everything he’d ever suffered at her hands. So long he’d waited to be in this body and now that he was, he wanted to be anywhere else. Yes, she was tight and wet, but to him she felt as tainted as her soul. He moved slowly inside her and barely noticed when her cries became those of pleasure. Soon she was moving with him as much as she was able to. She moaned in distress when she came again, hating her body’s betrayal of her and Mousse equally. He came inside her in most grim and cheerless orgasm that he’d ever had and then pulled out of her immediately, she made a noise. He felt soiled and used. He looked down at his bloodstained cock and thought about how many deaths it had prevented. He vowed that the next time that he had sex it would be with someone he loved and that he would be secure in the knowledge that they felt the same way about him.
He and Ranma sat with her until the oni arrived to feed, however one taste of her caused it to vomit her tainted soul back into her defiled body, then Cologne read the spell. It seemed to be trapped in the air and struggled against unseen bonds, then vanished from sight. Everyone waited breathlessly while Shampoo stood up.
“Great-Grandmother how dare let Mousse have Shampoo!” she cried.
“It was for your own good child. He was only following orders” Cologne said. “Mousse, technically she was defeated by you and therefore you can marry her if you want. It might be good in case she’s pregnant from this encounter” Cologne intoned and glared at Shampoo when she huffed in outrage.
“Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t want to pollute my gene pool with trash like her. I used a condom” he said looking smugly at the annoyed Shampoo.
“Trash! Shampoo not trash, she is future leader” she cried indignantly.
“Not my leader. I feel sorry for the tribe when you take over” Mousse snarled back.
“You ridiculous and weak, glad you leave” Shampoo said.
“At least I didn’t try to kill half of Nerima” Mousse snarled.
“You should have died” she snarled back. “But some stupid girl fuck you. Who did?” she demanded.
“I did” said Ranma. “I had sex with him in my female form” he explained.
Shampoo looked horrifyingly back and forth between the two boys “not true, can’t be. My Airen with stupid duck boy, no!” she cried. Shampoo hadn’t been improved in any way because she was the one who was controlling the oni.
“It is true” Ranma said “and I never want to see you again either. You almost killed my girlfriend” he hissed at her.
Shampoo turned pale “girlfriend?”
“Akane Tendo” Mousse said then turned to Cologne “we made a bargain and now you must honour it”
She bowed “we shall return to China and she will be tried” she said. “What will you do?” she asked him.
“I shall remain here until Nabiki returns from college and then will travel perhaps. I won’t be returning to the tribe, my future isn’t there” he said.
“Very well, good luck Mu Tzu” she said. “Come Shampoo, its time to start packing” she commanded.
“But great-grandmother, what about Airen?” Shampoo whined.
“Shut up child, he’s no longer yours. We’ll be lucky if you marry at all now that you aren’t a virgin anymore” she pointed out. Mousse and Ranma left, but not before they left their completed list for Shampoo to find, so she would know who ‘saved’ the virgins of Nerima. On a whim Mousse signed it The Virginator.
Mousse was surprised when he got another summons from Kuno, this time he met him in less formal setting; the main sitting room.
“Hello Kuno-kun, I understand that you wanted to see me?” Mousse said.
“Yes, Mu Tzu I have a favour to ask of you” Kuno said.
“When did you learn how to pronounce my name correctly?” asked a startled Mousse.
“My sister, Kodachi made me learn how, stating that it was rude not to take the time to. Which brings me to my point; when are you going to ask her on a date?” Kuno said bluntly.
Mousse stopped short, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. “Why would you wish me to?” he asked cautiously.
“Because she seems quite smitten and won’t shut up about you. It’s irritating” Kuno said with a frown.
“Well I like her but, she a little.....” Mousse stopped, struggling to find a way to describe her that wasn’t insulting.
“Nuts?” Kuno suggested. “She isn’t like that anymore. After the oni attack she became like how she used to be before she hit puberty; she’s now sweet and shy. Meaning that she’s been mooning around and waiting for you to call” Kuno explained rolling his eyes. “Do you like her?”
Mousse thought about it, of all the females he’d slept with she was the one that he’d felt a deeper connection with “I really don’t know her, but I like what little I do know” he admitted.
“Then try going out on a couple dates with her and see what develops. Please, I’m desperate. Look, we don’t go in for arranged marriages like some of other wealthy families do. She’s single and can date whomever she wants as long as they’re decent and treat her nicely. I believe that of you”
“I can hardly afford to take her out in the style she deserves” Mousse said cautiously.
“I don’t think she cares where you take her. I swear, if I have to hear one more time about how pretty your eyes are or how soft your hair, I might marry you myself” Kuno said and laughed when Mousse blushed. He led him to a door in back of the house “this is the private entrance to Kodachi’s wing, the lock's digital and the code is 0666. Of course I would never tell that to Kodachi’s boyfriend for fear that he might sneak in to spend time with her at nights. Good thing you aren’t her boyfriend and don’t know that the code is 0666” he said shrewdly and Mousse blushed again.
“So you really think I should ask her out?” he asked one more time.
“I’m begging you to” the other boy replied. “She’s out in the garden feeding Mr. Green Turtle, you can ask her right now” he suggested hopefully.
“Oh okay” Mousse said and was directed to the garden. He smiled to see her wearing a long black skirt and red sweater that matched the ribbon in her ponytail. Her dark hair shone in the sun as she sat beside a bucket of raw meat. Mousse frowned at this part and wondered what it was for, she turned to face him and her eyes went wide.
“Mu Tzu?” she said shyly.
“Yes, your brother said you wanted to see me” Mousse replied.
That she had changed was proven when her face turned bright red “w-why’d he do that?” she asked, rubbing her hands together nervously.
“He said that you’d developed a crush on me” he replied.
She seemed to turn even a deeper red and stammered “ever since we....well you know, I can’t stop thinking about you” she admitted and laughed nervously. Mousse smiled that her laugh was much more pleasing now.
He sat beside her “I would like to take you on a date, but you have to understand something first. I’ll never be the macho sort like Ranma, Ryoga or even your brother. I was raised to be a house-husband, is the best way of describing it I guess. The females are dominate in our society and I’m accustomed to following orders from them, I’m not saying that I don’t speak my mind when I find them unreasonable. So I’m more of the sensitive type with women. However I’m a skilled martial artist and can protect anyone of mine” he explained.
“Those sound like pleasing traits for a husband. Do you plan to have children?” Kodachi inquired.
“Tonight?” he asked. She blushed and giggled again. “I want four of them eventually” he replied.
“I’m sure that Shampoo will make a wonderful mother” she said, remembering of his love for her.
“I’m single” he replied. “I realize now that it would have never worked with her”
“Well who are you going to have four children with then?” she asked somewhat flirtatiously. “It would be rather difficult to have them on your own”
He turned to look at her, noticing how lovely she was, even her smile had become more genuine and tender and her grey eyes clear of madness “I guess I shall have to find someone on my travels” he replied.
She pouted at this “you’re leaving?” she said sadly.
Mousse shrugged “once Nabiki returns from America and Mr. Tendo and Mr. Saotome return from their training trip, the place is going to get kind of cramped and I really should seek my destiny” he explained.
“Have you ever thought it might be here?” she asked.
“I don’t know, I have friends here now I suppose, but nothing else to keep me here” he teased.
“What about me?” she cried indignantly, then covered her mouth and blushed. She gasped when she was suddenly on his lap.
“What about you? My aren’t we being demanded? I haven’t even asked you on a date yet and you’re already acting like you’re my girlfriend” he teased.
She swallowed nervously “are you going to ask me out?”
“I’d planned on it, but I’m not sure now seeing how bossy you’re being” he teased her again. She opened her mouth to protest and he covered it with his own. She relaxed into his kiss and wrapped her arms around him. They kissed until their lips felt numb and reluctantly parted. “Now can I take you to dinner tonight?” he asked.
“Sure, I just have to feed Mr. Green Turtle first” she said and heaved the bucket into the pond. Mousse paled when a crocodile leaped into the air.
“That’s Mr. Green Turtle!” he cried.
“What’s the matter, do you not like exotic pets?” she asked innocently.
“I don’t like ones that can eat me” he said, eyeing the chomping jaws nervously.
“Good, then you know what will happen if you try and leave me” she said demurely.
Mousse looked back at her and realized it was going to be a real adventure to date her and welcomed the challenge, crocodiles, strange family members and all.
Btw, thanks to those who have reviewed.

He led him to a door in back of the house “this is the private entrance to Kodachi’s wing, the lock's digital and the code is 0666. Of course I would never tell that to Kodachi’s boyfriend for fear that he might sneak in to spend time with her at nights. Good thing you aren’t her boyfriend and don’t know that the code is 0666” he said shrewdly and Mousse blushed again.
“So you really think I should ask her out?” he asked one more time.
“I’m begging you to” the other boy replied. “She’s out in the garden feeding Mr. Green Turtle, you can ask her right now” he suggested hopefully.
“Oh okay” Mousse said and was directed to the garden. He smiled to see her wearing a long black skirt and red sweater that matched the ribbon in her ponytail. Her dark hair shone in the sun as she sat beside a bucket of raw meat. Mousse frowned at this part and wondered what it was for, she turned to face him and her eyes went wide.
“Mu Tzu?” she said shyly.
“Yes, your brother said you wanted to see me” Mousse replied.
That she had changed was proven when her face turned bright red “w-why’d he do that?” she asked, rubbing her hands together nervously.
“He said that you’d developed a crush on me” he replied.
She seemed to turn even a deeper red and stammered “ever since we....well you know, I can’t stop thinking about you” she admitted and laughed nervously. Mousse smiled that her laugh was much more pleasing now.
He sat beside her “I would like to take you on a date, but you have to understand something first. I’ll never be the macho sort like Ranma, Ryoga or even your brother. I was raised to be a house-husband, is the best way of describing it I guess. The females are dominate in our society and I’m accustomed to following orders from them, I’m not saying that I don’t speak my mind when I find them unreasonable. So I’m more of the sensitive type with women. However I’m a skilled martial artist and can protect anyone of mine” he explained.
“Those sound like pleasing traits for a husband. Do you plan to have children?” Kodachi inquired.
“Tonight?” he asked. She blushed and giggled again. “I want four of them eventually” he replied.
“I’m sure that Shampoo will make a wonderful mother” she said, remembering of his love for her.
“I’m single” he replied. “I realize now that it would have never worked with her”
“Well who are you going to have four children with then?” she asked somewhat flirtatiously. “It would be rather difficult to have them on your own”
He turned to look at her, noticing how lovely she was, even her smile had become more genuine and tender and her grey eyes clear of madness “I guess I shall have to find someone on my travels” he replied.
She pouted at this “you’re leaving?” she said sadly.
Mousse shrugged “once Nabiki returns from America and Mr. Tendo and Mr. Saotome return from their training trip, the place is going to get kind of cramped and I really should seek my destiny” he explained.
“Have you ever thought it might be here?” she asked.
“I don’t know, I have friends here now I suppose, but nothing else to keep me here” he teased.
“What about me?” she cried indignantly, then covered her mouth and blushed. She gasped when she was suddenly on his lap.
“What about you? My aren’t we being demanded? I haven’t even asked you on a date yet and you’re already acting like you’re my girlfriend” he teased.
She swallowed nervously “are you going to ask me out?”
“I’d planned on it, but I’m not sure now seeing how bossy you’re being” he teased her again. She opened her mouth to protest and he covered it with his own. She relaxed into his kiss and wrapped her arms around him. They kissed until their lips felt numb and reluctantly parted. “Now can I take you to dinner tonight?” he asked.
“Sure, I just have to feed Mr. Green Turtle first” she said and heaved the bucket into the pond. Mousse paled when a crocodile leaped into the air.
“That’s Mr. Green Turtle!” he cried.
“What’s the matter, do you not like exotic pets?” she asked innocently.
“I don’t like ones that can eat me” he said, eyeing the chomping jaws nervously.
“Good, then you know what will happen if you try and leave me” she said demurely.
Mousse looked back at her and realized it was going to be a real adventure to date her and welcomed the challenge, crocodiles, strange family members and all.
