Chapter 24
As she sat in her laboratory (I.E. the basement of the Kuno mansion), Kodachi brooded, over the memory of the blonde boy she met the other day. She remembered the way he looked at her, with mystery and desire in his eyes. His smile as he looked at her, almost said "come to me my darling" without him even moving his lips. Or at least that's how she remembered it (but we know better, don't we?).
"Oh my mysterious blonde haired boy." she said as she stroked the drawing of him she had made earlier. "If it wasn't for that pigtailed skank, we would have shared our first kiss."
Her attention changed to another drawing she had made. This one however, was of another handsome young man, who Kodachi believed was rightfully hers. "Oh Ranma darling, don't think that I have forsaken you." she said as she stroked the other drawing. "I would gladly have you and our mystery friend together, so you could both hold me in your arms."
She then felt an idea strike her mind like a bolt of lightning. Or rather, like thunder. "Yes," she said smiling at her own genius. "Both of my darling lovers are snared by the same to harlots that my brother Tatewaki finds so infatuating. Perhaps it's time for us to form a truce." She then spent the next twenty minutes cackling like the mad women she is.
Upstairs in his personal training facility, Tatewaki was sat meditating (Well say "meditating", he was actually sat fantasizing about Akane Tendo and the pigtailed girl), when he heard the distinct sound of his sister's diabolical laughter.
"What on earth is she cackling about now?" He said, snapping out of his "concentration" and standing up and reaching for his bokén. "This can only mean trouble for whoever is standing in her way."
Then something came to his mind. "Hmm, perhaps she has finally managed to acquire that fiend; Ranma Saotome." he said, stroking his chin "That would mean that Akane Tendo and the pigtailed girl will finally be mine!"
Then another thought popped into his mind. "But what if she hasn't?" he said as he came up with an idea almost identical to his sister's. "Perhaps I should assist her in acquiring Saotome. Then I would finally be able to date with the pigtailed girl and Akane Tendo!" And just like his sister, Tatewaki spent the next few minutes laughing away like the deranged man he is.
When both of the Kuno siblings had finally stopped with their maniacal laughter, they rushed out of their respective locations and began searching for one another.
When they caught up with each other in the courtyard, neither Kuno could wait to speak. "I have a plan!" they both said to each other in unison. "And I need your help with it."
"Let me speak first, brother dear." Kodachi said, as she placed her finger over Tatewaki's lips. "Besides my plan's probably better than yours."
"How dare you assume such a notion?" Tatewaki said, moving Kodachi's hand away. "My plan cannot be faltered. I propose that we align forces and separate the pigtailed girl and Akane Tendo from the vile clutches of Ranma Saotome!"
Kodachi was slightly offended by Tatewaki's words. "Don't you associate my Ranma darling with such crude words." she said, angrily. "By the way, it would seem that the pigtailed girl is no longer infatuated with Ranma."
"What!?" Tatewaki said excited "You mean that she has finally become a free woman?"
Kodachi quickly began to correct her brother. "Not quite, brother dear." she said "It appears that she is now engaged to another man. And he is absolutely devine!"
"Another man!" Tatewaki shouted as he drew his bokén. "I shall end his existence! He will learn not to take what does not belong to him. I, Tatewaki Kuno swear upon it."
"Then we are agreed I take it." Kodachi said, smiling wickedly "We will work together and force Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo apart. And then we'll do the same to the blonde haired boy and the pigtailed girl."
"Agreed." Tatewaki said as he and his sister shook hands and an unholy alliance was forged.
Ranma shuddered sickly as he stood in the centre of the dojo. "You ok there Ranma?" Akane asked as he prepared to warm up for their sparring session.
"Yeah," Ranma said "But I think someone just stepped on my grave."
