Chapter 11 - The Kiss of Death.

"Child. Have you given him the kiss?" Gologne enguired, and Fragrance resisted the temptation of lying. After all that would mean that no one else in the village could try to take his Airen from her. But Fragrance was a wise amazon, and she knew the consequences of lying. Gologne would know, anyway. She always did.

Frangrance threw a look to Shampoo, the grand-daughter of the matriark. It was probably the matriarks intention, trying to make sure her grand-daughter got the best.

"No." Fragrance answered curtly, admitting her defeat. Shampoo looked like christmas had come early. (not that the amazons celebrated christmas...)

"You know that means he is still open for challenges?" Gologne asked, wondering why the younger amazon hadn't even tried to lie. Fragrance looked at her feet, resisting the urge to groan.

"Yes, elder."

"Good." And with that the matriark turned to her grand-daughter, traded some words with her, and then they set off to the gate, where everyone was going. After all, the tournament was today. Checking that her weapons were in check Fragrance staggered to the tournament place, resisting the urge to pass out.

No need to embarass herself, after all...

Ares rolled his eyes as he listened the guide to explain something about the amazon village to the Saotome's. The village most certaintly wasn't ruled by men.

"Oh no!" Ranma shrieked, as he changed into his girl-shape. The bird that had splashed the water on Ranma had the survival instingt to fly away as fast as it could. Ares smirked inwardly, thinking that Ranma was always good for a laugh.

They arrived finally at the village thrty minutes later, and stepped into the village. Everyone was collected by a fighting arena, and the tucked in into a big pile of food. Ares groaned inwardly. Typical, just typical, that the Saotome's would eat the price. As the Saotome's ate, Ares looked at the fight's, and even he had to admit that the girls were good.

The most intresting one was, no doubt the fight between a purple haired and a orange haired girl. The girl's used swords, bonbori's and martial art's to win over each other. Before too long how ever the girl with Purple hair won, and by the yell's of the audience Ares supposed she was called Shampoo.

The girl smiled brightly, and made her way to her price. The look on her face was hilarious, when she noticed the Saotome's had cleaned off her price. Ares noticed that the orange haired girl, who was now limping slightly, smirked mischeviously.

Shampoo challenged Ranma to a fight, and Ranma, being the better fighter won. The girl, Shampoo couldn't accept her defeat, and gave Ranma the 'kiss of death'. Ranma looked confused for a moment, but had just barely time to listen what the guide translated, before the purple haired amazon attacked him.

Ares watched the pair to run off into the woods, and was just about to follow, when a voice interrupted him.

"Hello, Airen." The orange haired amazon said. Ares looked at her, confused. Why did she call him 'Airen'? Sure he knew that it meant husband in chinese, but still...

"mmh...? Hello?" Ares answered hesitantly. The orange haired youth just smiled, and Ares had barely time to register that she looked really attractiv, before the orange haired girl kissed him soundly on the lips...

Only to be pulled away by a old woman. The older woman looked irritated, and the orange haired girl smirked in victory.

"Fragrance, you do not need to marry this man, as we have no evidence that he defeated you..." The amazon started. Fragrance smirked triumfing, and just snapped;

"Well I want to. Now if you don't mind, Elder, I'll just take my Airen and go." Fragrance said, the sarkasm drippin from the sentence. She then took the arm of her new husband, and walked away from the village, not even looking back, leaving Gologne only to stand behind, and look at their backs, defeated.

Fragrance smiled at the thought that after the elder had been forced to call her by her first name now that she was married away. She had always hated how everyone called her 'child' and 'girl and 'young-one'. She smiled even more brightly as she looked seductively at her new husband, who was concentrading on something only he could see.

Uh oh! How many wives do I have now? Oh, 'Dite is going to nag to me about this... And everyone will be talking about Ares and his new Harem. Hey! That's not so bad idea... Ares thought, as they walked into the woods, following the trail of destruction Ranma and Shampoo left behind them.

"So, what's your name?" Ares asked from his seventh wife.

Don't forget to review! Sorry for the short chapter, but my computer has been grazy for a long while here, and I thoughtI'd at least try to get something to the page. Sorry for the grammar and spelling errors, I don't have a spellchecker on my computer now, as I have this quite old version of Linux.
