Katari sitting in his hotel room mending his cape when shampoo comes 
through the wall.

Katari: What did you do that for?
Shampoo: What do?
Katari: Haven't you ever heard of a door?
Shampoo: Amazon no use door.
Katari: So what are you doing here?
Shampoo: Come find out when wedding is.
Katari: What wedding?
Shampoo: Ours
Katari: What! I'm not marrying you.
Shampoo: Ranma beat Shampoo. Katari beat Ranma. Amazon law say Shampoo
         marry Katari.
Katari: How do I get out of this?
Shampoo: Fight Ranma. Lose.
Katari: But my martial arts creed forces me to do my best in a fight.
Shampoo: So? I help.
Katari: How can you help me get out of this? Can't we just forget abuot
        this.
Shampoo: Me help same as help Mousse once. Him lose.
Katari: who's mousse?
Shampoo: Master of hidden weapon. Him want marry Shampoo.
Katari: Sounds like the guy to challenge. You say he uses weapons? 
        Perfect. it's a different technique so he has a chance.
Shampoo: Not want marry Mousse. You fight Ranma.
Katari: That would be pointless because I'd just win again. Or do you 
        want to marry me?
Mousse:*coming through door* No!!! I won't have it! I challenge you to
        a dual at furnikan.
Katari: Agreed.
Shampoo: no! you fight Ranma.
Katari: Sorry he challenged.
Mousse: Don't worry Shampoo I will win your hand.
Shampoo: *mumbled and downcast*That what Shampoo fraid of.

			Too Much Mousse Ruins Your Hair
             next day after school at Furnikan
Katari: Hello Mousse. Do you still want to take me on.
Mousse: I don't care how much I get beaten up I will never stop 
        fighting for the hand of Shampoo.
Katari: Spoken as a one in true love. I only wish my ethics allowed me 
        to let you defeat me. Well let's get this over with.
Shampoo: Mousse have. Shampo make special.
Shampoo hands Mousse a staff with a duck on it's end.
Katari: Didn't you offer to make me a staff like that in a rematch with
        Ranma to help me lose.
Shampoo: You not fight Ranma, you not get staff.
Katari: I don't want the staff!! It's just that I can not ethically 
        fight him with that staff
Mousse: You must fight me!
Katari: ditch the staff then. Either have Shampoo or her gift. Choose.
Mousse:*grudingly* Ok. I want Shampoo more than the staff.
Shampoo: Mousse fight with staff or is fired from cat cafe.
Katari thinks a minute then...
Katari: Hmmm... If he marrys you, you can't fire him right.
Mousse: Great!! Then all I have to do is win and then her threats have 
        no meaning.
Shampoo: Mousse no can use staff for that.
Katari: then it's settled.

#meanwhile at the cat cafe#

Ranma: You mean neither Shampoo nor Mousse are here?
Cologene: that's correct son-in-law. They said somthing of a fight they
          had to go to.
Ranma: Well can you give her this invitation to Akane's and I's wedding
Cologene: I'll make sure she's ready for the wedding.
Ranma: Just so long as it's not the way she was ready last time.
Cologene: But we can't let you marry someone else.
Ranma: But I'm not eligible to marry Shampoo because I lost that fight.
Cologene: What fight?
Ranma: You mean you hadn't heard. This guy from out of town named 
       Katari Soroku defeated me.
Cologene: *downcast* Then I can not stand in your way of marrying Akane
          , Ranma.
Ranma: Oh by the way, your invited too.
Cologene:*sadly* thank you, Ranma.

#Back at funikan highschool#

Katari: Let the fight begin.

Mousse does his standard opening move while Katari just stands and 
watches. He then launches a barage of throwing blades at Katari. Katari
does his patented defense and sweeps them from the air. Katari then 
throws several of the blades back but Mousse dodges them. Mousse throws
his spiked ball on a chain. Katari tries to blck it with his speicial 
block but it tangles in the cape. Instead he hauls on the chain pulling
mousse twords him. When Mousse is close enough he kicks him in the 
stomach then in the face. Mousse falles over. Katari is about to stomp
on him when he pulles ot a chain and swings it around Katari's leg, 
then he pulles Katari's leg out from under him. While Katari untangles
the spiked ball from the cape Mousse disengages the chains from himself
. They both stand up. Katari decides to do his hishippuu kougeki 
and starts slashing at Mousse with his cape corner. After Mousse gets 
gashed twice by the slashes he quickly overcomes his suprise at this 
move and dodges back. Mousse unleashes a barage of exploding balls at 
katari momentarily stunning him. He follows up with a Hawk Dive which 
shreds katari's cape. Katari does a round house knocking mousse to the
ground. Mousse pulles out a claw on a rope and uses it to entangle 
Katari's feet, gets up, and kicks him over. mousse pulls out a chain 
and uses it to beat the tar out of Katari.

#meanwhile at ukyo's#

Ukyo: You want me to what?
Ranma: we want you to cater. Akane threatened to do the cooking but I 
       convinced her it would help you if you got to be a part of it.
Ukyo: But I don't want to cater your wedding sugar, I want to be the 
      bride at it.
Ranma: I know but i just figured it would help you accept it. Besides 
       I figured you might give us a discount.

                           Epiloge

Ranma married Akane the day after the fight. They rushed the wedding 
in an attempt to lower the chance of anyone being able to disturbe it.
ukyo catered, Ryoga was best man, cologne was there, but shampoo 
didn't show up. Turned out she had been attempting to get mousse to
challenge ranma in order to get things back to the way they were so 
didn't hear about the wedding till after it took place


All charicters in this story with the exclusion of Katari Soroku are 
Ramiko Tackahashi's and I do not have her permishion to use then. I 
hope you enjoyed it.
Katari's attack "Hishippuu Kougeki" means fierce hurrican attack
