Ranma and Genma followed the guide a few steps behind him as they were lead into an Amazon Village, they were still in their cursed forms, not that Ranma minded it much as he just saw as another extension of himself his new knowledge of his demon heritage. As soon as Ranma arrived he saw his 'father' run up to a stall and start eating a banquet of food that lay atop it while watching a fight between two of the amazons in the village, not even bothering to read the sign attached to the stall, like he could Ranma knew Genma hadn't bothered to even try to learn the Chinese language like Ranma had.

"Pop that is the prize for the fight" Ranma stated, Genma then held up a sign.

'Yeah right you won't fool me boy' spin 'you just want to eat' spin 'it all to yourself'

Minutes later the fight was over and a very angry Amazon approached Genma and Ranma.

'Your stupid panda at my victory feast' the amazon with purple hair stated, the guide was about to translate when Ranma stopped him when he replied in fluent Chinese.

'No. He isn't my panda, he is cursed by Jusenkyo as have I, I tried to stop him from eating the feast but he wouldn't listen to me, please accept my most humble apologies for my father's idiotic behaviour and I hope there is a way to redeem from the dishonour my father has done you' Ranma replied.

'Oh…well only way to redeem honour is for me and your father to fight, he wins he gets off scot free, he loses then he at mercy of amazon village elders' the amazon replied. Ranma then looked towards his father and gave him a glare as he was still stuffing his face he then remembered how good a fighter this amazon was.

'No, we will fight, I am a far better fighter than that idiot and am more honourable, the same stakes?' Ranma asked, unsure if his challenge affected anything.

'You should fighting amazons comes with a price, if a female outsider defeats an amazon that amazon will hunt them down and kill them and will be until the banished from the village and stripped of all honour so either way you lose, your father though still has a chance' the amazon replied.

'You forget I also have a curse, my original form is that of male so I have a chance to win like my father did' Ranma replied with a smirk, before picking up a kettle of tea from nearby and deactivating his curse.

'Very well but this changes everything…for if male outsider beat amazon then amazon must marry the outsider' the amazon replied, Ranma let out sigh.

'Fine, though I do not intend to marry for a few years yet so how about this, I win and we become friends and when we reach the age that we can marry I'll let you decide if you still want to, or you could return to your village saying that you killed me since I also have a female form' Ranma proposed surprising the amazon who had expected the outsider to either agree without a second thought or to back down yet this outsider offered her a way out if he did beat her, a way to keep her honour intact and marry the one she wanted to, when she found him.

'Deal' the amazon responded before leaping onto the log where she had defeated her previous opponent, Ranma then looked at his father one more time to see him finishing off the feast.

"Stop eating you old panda you've got me into enough trouble already" Ranma yelled, the confused panda stopped eating and just watched his son leap onto the log and take a fighting stance, the amazon then launched at Ranma, launching several kicks and punches at him, Ranma easily dodged everyone, he noticed what the amazon was doing though pushing him to the edge, either she hit him off or he fell off, Ranma then leapt over her and continued to block and dodge her attacks,

'You know I never got your name' Ranma stated.

'My name is Xian Pu, friends call me Shampoo though' Shampoo replied as she continued to strike.

'Nice to meet ya Shampoo I'm Ranma Saotome' Ranma replied as he ducked out the way of the amazon's rolling kick.

'Like wise' Shampoo replied, she was then surprised as Ranma's movements blurred and he kicked her in the gut sending her flying off of the log and defeating her. Ranma then leapt down to see if she was alright and was relieved to find she was fine.

'There now that we got that out of the way perhaps you could tell us about the Jusenkyo curses like if there's a cure and if there's time I'd like to research a certain demon?' Ranma asked.

'Of course young one follow me, I am Cologne Chinese amazon elder' a small old woman who looked more like a ghoul than an elder stated before leading Ranma, Genma and Shampoo to one of the hutches and began pulling out several scrolls and began to tell them about Jusenkyo, how old it was, how it worked, the side effects of been cursed etc.… yet there was no cure, never has been and probably never will be.

The old ghoul then inquired which demon he wanted to research 'Bai Tsa' the old ghoul's eyes grew even wider, surprising everyone who were sure they couldn't get any bigger.

'What do you know of Bai Tsa? 'Cologne asked, a tinge of fear in her voice.

'That she's an ancient immortal Chinese demon of water and that she's locked away and that's about it' Ranma replied, Cologne then passed Ranma a scroll that held information on the ancient demon and watched him carefully.

Ranma then trained there for eight more years unable to leave because of him defeating Shampoo which Genma blamed him for of course, however, in the time Ranma wasn't training he began to study dark chi magic and became good friends with Shampoo, much to an amazon male named Mousse's dismay, who began challenging Ranma every chance he got, knowing if he could beat Ranma then he'd be able to marry Shampoo, but 'surprisingly' would always fail, Cologne trained both Ranma and Shampoo personally to the highest levels, teaching them to wield every weapon, teaching every technique she could, while having Genma closely watched.
