She owes him a debt, and now it's time to repay that debt.  She'll stop 
the wedding, the wedding that Ranma has repeatedly told her that he

This isn't directly related to the argument here, but... Bob, Matthew...
have either of you actually *read* the ghost cat story? The only thing
Ranma did to "save" Shampoo is to beat up Genma when the cat possessed
him. Looks to me like a convenient excuse to pound dear old Dad. Nor did
it seem to me that Shamps was in any real danger; the cat seemed pretty
incompetent.

Tsk. Tsk.
They're talking about the Ghost-Cat story in volume 20 Gary. Ranma did save
Shampoo's
life in that story.
