situation, and then climbed into the building through an open window. "1.Passed the hurdle. Now all I have to do is find her bedroom. He went into the 1st best room. But there was also a bed. Ryoga took a deep breath and got closer and closer to the bed. "It's me! Please wake up, my sweet shampoo!" Carefully he pushed the covers aside. But what he saw there prompted him to quickly pull the covers back on with the bed disgusted. It was Kollon with a kind of "beauty mask", which doesn't really help, who snored and, luckily, slept soundly. He went slowly out and entered the next room. There was also a bed there. He sat on the edge, pushed the covers aside, and looked into Shampoo's closed eyes. He couldn't suppress a smile. * how cute she is when she sleeps. Your lips give me the impression that they want to be kissed. * Suddenly he shook his head violently. * Ryoga! Don't even dream of kissing her you're in love with Akane and not with this Amazon.How do you even get such thoughts ?! Although, she's actually quite cute. Can you actually love two girls? Oh. I'm in love with Akane and no other, and that's that! The only thing that matters is the bet, nothing else! * "Shampoo! Wake up!" He stroked her cheek lightly. The Amazon turned to him and rubbed her eyes. “Who's there?” In the dark she couldn't see very much, but when she saw his face in the light of the moon that shone into the room, she was startled. "Ryoga! What are you doing here? And how long have you been sitting there?" Ryoga tried to calm her down. "Not that long. You haven't accepted the roses, then I'd at least like to thank you for your meal with a meal in a night restaurant." "You're crazy! It's the middle of the night. Besides, I can't because of .. "" Ranma? "" Yes, exactly! Airen will be angry. "" He won't! He doesn't even notice and besides, it's just a thank you from me.I don't leave him until you agree. "" It's just a meal, you said? "" Just a meal, nothing more. "She nodded." Nah good. You wait here. I'll get changed quickly. "When she left the room, Ryoga put on an insidious smile. * She is slowly beginning to trust me. The bet is slowly taking shape. And yet I feel a very small feeling of love inside me. I believe that it is is in you, but inside shows me that I'm slowly winning the bet, or something. But I'm not sure. *

Chapter 4: Every me and every you or the confession
A few minutes later, shampoo came back. She had made herself chic, because who knows what kind of restaurant they would go to. But when Ryoga looked into her sparkling eyes, he was completely different. * I've never noticed how pretty she actually is. What an honor to be able to date her. That makes the bet much easier for me.* Or not. The two went out onto the streets lit by the moonlight and the lanterns. Ryoga didn't know what to say. A little embarrassed, he looked at the moon. Fortunately for him, however, a dog suddenly barked from across the street. Shampoo jumped up and grabbed Ryoga's arm. For the first time in Shampoo's presence, he was able to smile carefree without the wager in his ulterior motive. “Were you scared?” Only now did Shampoo realize what she was doing. She quickly let go of her arm. "Oh, sorry! I haven't seen dog." "Doesn't matter. You are welcome to hold on to my arm. Of course, just in case you don't have to be startled again. First she hesitated, but then took it A few doors down there was a large restaurant with illuminated posters at the entrance. From the outside, the entrance hall looked very large through the huge windows.But when the two came in, they immediately noticed the cozy atmosphere. When they had chosen a spot, Ryoga gently pushed back the chair that was supposed to be used for shampoo. “Ladys First!” The girl gave him a bright smile and then sat down. On the other side, Ryoga took a seat himself. When they had ordered, a melodious love ballad rang out in their ears and Ryoga saw Shampoo's dreamy eyes, that feeling overcame him again. That unique, indescribable feeling that he had for a short time at Shampoo's bed. He tried to deny it, but it couldn't. As much as he wanted to drive it away, he had no chance. It was just too strong. So he tried to think of something other than her eyes. * I've wasted enough time. I now have to start with phase 2 of my bet. * “Shampoo?” “Hm?” “I'd like to tell you the truth.” The dreamy in her eyes turned into something suspicious and eerie.Ryoga thought those eyes would see through any lie. Nevertheless, he took courage and went on. “The roses, the whole theater and also, for the most part, the food was because, because, because I fell in love with you.” In order not to have to look into her eyes, he got up and closed his. "I know it sounds crazy and I know that you are already in love with Ranma, but it just happened. If I could change it, I would do it in your favor, because I know the rules in your village by now. But to be honest too leash, I think they're stupid. Why can't you choose your spouse out of true love ?! What if you don't love the one who defeated you? It's just hopeless. "* Phew, done. I will take a quick look to assure that she has swallowed it. * He blinked briefly. But there was no need to close his eyes, so he opened them all the way again. Now he was doing exactly the opposite. He practically held Shampoo with his eyes so she couldn't escape an answer to his sermon.Shampoo felt trapped. Their looks couldn't decide whether to be bright, scared, or dismissive. She didn't know what to say. "Ryoga. I love Airen. He doesn't love me yet and you're right. The law is stupid, but I come from a proud Amazon village and have to keep it. I won't defend myself against it, sorry I am." Now she finally broke cut off eye contact and looked at the red-burning candle. Ryoga became restless. Why didn't it work? It just had to work. For the sake of the bet, for Akane's sake, for his sake. "Why can't we stay together forever? You and I, just the two of us, forever?" Shampoo got mad and got up too. She screamed at him with tears in her eyes. "It doesn't work! My Airen, the rules, the village of the Amazons! I'm an Amazon! It just doesn't work!" Ryoga lowered his head. "I have a hard time, but I have to. If the rules say so, I'll fight you.I'll fight and give everything to win, no matter what the cost. The day after tomorrow at noon, on the large meadow. Until then, I'll give you time to think about it, not to stand against me, so that you might love me one day. The rules also state that an Amazon must not refuse a fight. "Shampoo was shocked. That it had to come to the point that she had to fight a friend. How would this fight for love end ?! And was she allowed to tell Ranma something about it. The next time while eating passed without that the two exchanged a word. Ryoga was still not sure how much he would hurt her if he should win the Kamof. He was still only thinking of Akane. But for shampoo it would be much better if he did it again would reconsider the background of this bet !!!
