A Saiyan Tail

Part 7

The Clash of the two curses.

	Ranma frowned as she followed the guide with her father towards a small
village, the little man smiled as he turned to face the pair. "This is
Joketsuko, the village of Amazons, the women here are very strong, " The
guide had been very happy when he found out both of the men could speak
his language, the tour had been extended several days because of it. He
had taken them by Mount Phoenix, and the Musk village as well, as close
as the peoples would allow at any rate. He smiled warmly as the tour had
gone rather well since that time, and now he was taking them into the
least hostile of the martial arts villages in the area.
	"Will we be allowed in?" asked Goku hopefully.
	"Oh yes, the Amazons are relatively friendly," assured the guide.

	Ranma felt his stomach growl as he walked with his father into the
village, "I sure hope we can buy some food here, I'm starving," he looked
at his father and noticed he had an agreeable look on his face.
	"They are having a festival at the moment, we get to see a tournament,"
said the dumpy Chinese man.
	"Cool," Ranma smiled slightly and his father perked up a bit as well.
They entered the village and a large crowd surrounded a suspended log
that held a battle between a young girl and a much larger woman, the girl
was winning rather easily. "Man, none of the stores are open," Goku also
looked downtrodden.
	"I was hoping we could buy some food here," he frowned and sat next to a
table that was labeled 'first prize', it was covered in food, but both
Saotomes knew better than to eat it.
	Ranma looked at the food and frowned, "Hey, is there any way I can get
in on this tournament? I bet I could win all this food easy!"

	One of the nearby women smiled slightly at the girl and walked over to
the pair. "Your daughter wants to compete here?"
	Goku looked at her blankly and smiled, "If you'd let her, we don't want
to cause a problem."
	The Amazon snorted and looked Ranma up and down quickly, "That shrimpy
little thing? She can train all she wants, she won't beat our fighters,"
she made a motion towards some of the older women who sat near to the
fight and one of them gave her an approving nod. "She can compete if she
wishes, but I warn you our village is strong."
	"I hope so, I don't want to win too easy," Ranma smiled as she walked
over to the area by the log to await her turn to fight. 
The young girl who had been fighting finished up the larger Amazon and
smiled as she emerged victorious, until she turned and saw someone new
standing in the opponents circle waiting her turn. A deep scowl formed in
her face as she watched the young girl stretch and then jump onto the log
with her. "Who are you?"
"Ranma Saotome," replied the newcomer as she got into a ready stance.
"I don't recognize that name, you aren't from around here are you?"
Shampoo's smile returned.
"Nope, just passin through," replied Ranma cheerfully.
Shampoo bowed and Ranma returned the courtesy cautiously, they got into
their respective stances and th
