Kodachi Kuno took the photos from her brother and quickly headed for her room. She glanced at them and blushed wondering how Nabiki could get such…intimate pictures of her beloved. She walked in and headed for the area set aside for her beloved. She added the pictures to the ones already set there and blushed. Soon if her plans bore fruit she would be married to the pig tailed martial artist. She giggled at her good fortune and wondered once more why Akane Tendo was so stupid as to hate a man that could turn into a woman.

Yes she was in love with Ranma and Ranma-chan, her brother's infatuation was merely a cover so that the middle Tendo sister would not get curious and she knew that none of the assets she possessed could penetrate the Kuno compound to this location.

She thought back to how she first met Ranma –chan and blushed. The girl had been so forceful and forward, wearing a simple Moa outfit yet still making it look good. She had shown her ability when she had deflected her attacks when she was punishing the Furinken girls. She had gone to the Tendo dojo not only to defeat Akane but to deal with the red haired girl as well and possibly get to know her better. That was when she met Ranma and no man had affected her as such. She cursed Akane's good luck being engaged to such a hunk.

Later at the Martial Arts Gymnastics contest she and her brother had seen the truth though both were aware enough not to show they had such knowledge. Tatewaki immediately swore off Ranma-chan stating he was suffering from a much worse punishment than any he could imagine. Kodachi however was elated. Her two loves were one person she could have the best of both worlds especially since she have a bit of eclectic taste in lovers.

Time passes as it always does and the Kuno siblings had set up a simple plan Tatewaki would buy photos of Ranma chan and Kodachi would reimburse him for them. It was simple and easy. Of course she hated having to fight Ranma-chan but the girl kept proving her worth as Kodachi's future lover by besting her and all others in combat.

She knew that she had to9be patient, thought Akane claimed to love Ranma . She knew that the girl didnt trust Ranma which is an important point in any relationship. She had also managed to find that she and Ranma had been engaged before Genma had come through their grandparents. Nodoka,s family and her own had set it up though like the Tendo pact it was not of a predetermined generation. She had spoken to Nodoka about this many a time and the woman told her that if the Tendo pact fell through she could marry Ranma, after Ukyo was adopted into the family. Kodachi knew time was on her side in that since Sasuke had told her that Nabiki and Kasumi had foisted the engagement onto the youngest sister.

Kodachi beamed and planned. Soon, thanks to her families connections and the failed wedding, the Amazons would be sent home, after Shampoo did something to cause Akane to break the engagement in front of Nodoka. Then she and Ranma-chan would be together forever and she could start healing the damage done to her beloved. All it would take was time and as a descendant of Samurai…she was very patient.
