"Mistress Kodachi awaits you in the library. I hope you like Earl Grey. It's all she'll drink since she saw some interview abought some American sci-fi actor."
Sasuke had been a bit surprised at his Mistress' fondness for American sci-fi series but felt it wasn't his place to comment on. Though he did wonder why she kept sending Master Tachi those red shirted uniforms from the show even though he had showed no interest in it himself.
Nabiki nodded, a smirk upon her lips as she strode along her mind sorting through and discarding opening gambits to her dealings with Kodachi. 'Hmmm. Perhaps a little added pressure by mentioning the pig tailed girl is with him. . .’

Kodachi sat quietly drinking her tea, awaiting the appearance of that charmingly mercenary Tendo girl, who had news of her beloved Ranma-Sama.
She hadn't seen him in a little over a week and she was beginning to get worried. Sure her intended was manly enough to take on any challenge, but she still worried that some hussy would sink her claws into him if his darling Kodachi wasn't there to protect him from them.
He was so delightfully naive that way.
"Greetings Nabiki Tendo. I believe you mentioned to my manservant that you had news of my darling Ranma?" Kodachi gestured to the chair across from her.
While the library was impressive and could be used to awe most of the lower caste individuals she came in contact with it was the view behind her that she found especially useful when dealing with strong willed individuals.
Nabiki calmly took her seat accepting the tea held out by Sasuke and taking a sip.
"Mmmm Earl Grey." She commented warmly as if it was her favorite blend.
Kodachi's smile widened a few centimeters. She knew Nabiki probably preferred one of the orange teas that were so popular these days, but it was her willingness to follow the rules of polite society and pretend otherwise that made her such a delight to deal with.
Nabiki sipped her tea pretending her view of Midori's pond was a happy accident while outlining the information she had for sale. At the mention of Ranma Kodachi gave a happy little sigh. When Nabiki mentioned the pigtailed girl Kodachi began to get nervous and glanced around the room nervously as if awaiting for the shadows to attack her. As Nabiki began winding down her pitch and mentioned the mental ward her eyes shot open and she jumped to her feet.
"Thank you miss Tendo your timely warning shall not be forgotten!"
With this Kodachi was on her feet and out the door yelling commands to Sasuke as she threw a rather large bundle of cash at her stunned guest.
