Chapter Four: Amazon Reunion, Airen!

++++++++++

"ARGH..GYAHHH!!!"

The shout was followed immediately by loud sounds of fist meeting fist.

Ranko yawned, stretching her arms. This was so boring. Whatever were they doing? She wondered staring at her fiance sparring with her father. Her father was dancing around Kaneda's attacks as hard as it may seem with his overweightness while Kaneda was growling at his lack of success.

He was not bad, above the average martial artist but still not enough to put up much of a good fight for her father.

"Baka." She mumbled.

When she had volunteered to help teach him some unique techniques that she had learned throughout the years, he had rudely objected.

++++Flash+++++

Ranko bent down next to a panting Kaneda and sighed in sympathy. "You know...unless you improve greatly then you won't be a match for my father. I could help teach you some techniques and train you."

Had Ranko been a guy then Kaneda would have eagerly accepted, but as it is...

"No!" He growled, getting up. "I don't need help, especially yours."

Ranko frowned. "Fine!"

"Good! I don't need no tomboy's help."

"Argh..JERK!"

WHAM!

Brushing her hand Ranko sniffed and walked away leaving behind a badly twitching Kaneda.

++++End Flash+++++

A loud thump was heard and Ranko was snapped out of her resevere. "Hmph." She sniffed as her father sighed.

Once again Kaneda had been knocked unconscious. Oh well.

"My turn."

Ranko smirked as her father's face whitened.

Panda beating time.

++++++++++

At the Nerima docks, the skies darkened. An overweight man sighed as he placed a plastic cover on his boat. He turned around as someone suddenly tapped his shoulder.

"Huh?"

Irritation and tiredness was evident in the dark brown eyes he met. "Tell me, where is Nerima?"

He pointed to the west, eyes drawn to the person before him.

She nodded, turning to talk to her companion. "Let's go, Great-Grandmother."

The boatman still had his eyes on the purple haired girl.

Whap!

The man groaned as Shampoo's eyes narrowed. "Stare anymore at them and I will chop your friend off."

He gulped, clutching his very important body part protectively.

Sniffing she walked off as the old lady laughed beside her. Shampoo whispered softly, "Stupid Japanese perverts."

The boatman shivered as a voice cackled.

+++++++

Kaneda wiped his forehead with the sleeve of his gi. He didn't know what was wrong. Well..actually he did know what was wrong. He was not as skilled as the two new martial artists in Nerima, the Saotomes.

It was not the fact that Mr. Saotome being better than he is that irked her, it was that fact that RANKO was more skilled than he was. Mr. Saotome had more experience so it was just natural that he was very skillful.

He didn't want to admit it but he knew that Ranko was way out of his league. Still..

He growled softly. "I refuse to accept help from her!"

A shout echoed in the air.

"RANKO YOU I KILL!"

"What?"

+++++++++

"Gyah! HA!"

Her eyes closed Ranko fluidly went through a series of difficult moves. On the sidelines, Genma watched nodding his head. Ranko was a skillful martial artist and could probably handle any danger that came her way. Still..that was no reason for her to lax in her training.

"RANKO YOU I KILL!"

Ranko stopped immediately in her kata and opened her eyes. Eyes wide she smiled but quickly hid it under a look of anger.

She leaned back quickly as bonbori passed right by her. Jumping in the air she somersaulted and landed on her feet in a ready stance.

The purple haired Amazon smirked as she threw the two bonboris in her hand away and fell into a ready stance that was similar to Ranko's.

As if a silent bell had rung, the two had charged at each other in unison. While the two Tendo sisters watched, one in shock and the other in icy indifference, Genma watched with his arms crossed and a proud look in his eyes.

To the two Tendo sisters they thought that the new arrival and Ranko were enemies fighting a death match. To Genma, they were just playing and actually dancing around each other in carefully practiced katas.

During their stay in Joketsuzoku, Ranko and Shampoo had invented a set of katas that only the two knew of. It looked as if they were throwing out deadly techniques but in actuality they were just performing memorized movements.

Genma whispered softly to himself, "Hopefully they will finish their kata soon or else someone will mistaken their fun for something else."

Suddenly, Kaneda charged out of the dojo to the yard with a look on his face that meant nothing but trouble.

The elder Saotome sighed. "Too late."

++++++++

What is going on? Kaneda thought to himself as he rushed out to the location where the shout of revenge was heard.

He gasped slightly as he saw Ranko fighting for her life against a very buxom girl. (How he thought that she was fighting for her life is beyond me.)

No, he thought. I have to save her!

+++++++++

Ranko blinked and then slumped her shoulders. "Please tell me this isn't happening."

"Sorry, it's happening." Cologne laughed as Ranko sighed.

"BWAHAHAHA-" Cologne stared hard at the scene before her. "ACK!"

"Oh.My.God." Ranko stared and then burst out laughing. Who'd a thought, the 'Great Xian Pu' defeated by a mere male?

Kaneda glared at the girl he 'saved.' "What? What's so funny?"

Ranko tried to speak but could say anything coherant. So instead she settled for pointing at the unconscious Amazon.

"Huh?" Kaneda stared a bit nervous as the beautiful girl started to stir and awaken.

Shampoo sat up slowly and blinked. She blinked again. And then...

"Wo ai ni."

+++++++++

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" bellowed Soun. When he had arrived home from his walk what met his eyes was his very own son passionately kissing a strange girl. What confused him even more was what the girl had called his son.

Airen she had said, adoration clear in her eyes. He may not have known a lot of Chinese but he knew what 'Airen' meant. It meant husband.

Which lead to him voicing out his thoughts.

"D-dad! It's not what it looks like!" Kaneda sputtered, blushing madly from the passionate kiss he had just recieved.

Ranko had stopped laughing and couldn't help commenting, "Oh I understand. It just looks like you are passionately kissing some strange girl and still holding her in a very tight hug."

"No! No!" Kaneda continued trying to explain what happened without success.

Shampoo blinked from where she was currently attached to her husband. "What's going on? Is there a problem?"

Ranko shook her head giggling. "No not really." She walked up to her fiance and friend. "Kaneda meet Shampoo of Joketsuzoku, my friend from China. Sham-chan, meet Kaneda my supposedly 'fiance' and your new husband."

"Fiance?" Shampoo muttered. "Oh no! I can't marry him then because he is yours!" Shampoo immediately jumped away from the dark haired boy.

Ranko shook her head. "Hey, it's okay. Besides, Kaneda and I don't love each other since it's all our father's fault."

"Oh."

"Kaneda, I'm telling you that you are very blessed to have defeated my friend. She's beautiful, a great cook, and the village champion too." Ranko said to Kaneda.

"But..but...why is she my wife?! I just defeated her on accident!" He protested.

"Because son-in-law..according to our law any male outsider who has defeated an Amazon will become her husband. Even though you defeated her purely on luck," which brought a protest on an indignant Kaneda, "you still managed to defeat her." Cologne said still wondering inwardly how her great-grandaughter managed to be defeated by such an odd stroke of luck.

+++++Flash+++++++

"Ranko get out of the way! I'll take care of her!" Kaneda yelled jumping towards Shampoo intending to place a well placed kick.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on the situation, he had slipped on a beach ball (where did that come from?) The ball rolled to Shampoo who then slipped on it and crashed to the ground her newly bought out bonboris flying out of her hand and into the air.

*Clonk*

One unconscious Amazon.

+++++End Flash+++++++

"Still.."

"Oh shut up Kaneda." Ranko said irritated at the boy's feeble attempts of getting out of the arrangement. "You should be happy because I am. I'm glad that Sham-chan got a husband and you a wife."

Kaneda pouted. "You're only happy because you get to dump me off onto your friend."

"Well...that is part of the reason."

*Sigh*

". . ." Soun blinked, still confused.

Cologne just laughed, Shampoo joining her. "Things are always interesting around Ranko."

Shampoo nodded.

End Chapter Four.
