There was a flicker of light, subtle really, more glow than illumination, before suddenly, a new figure emerged suddenly into existence in a swirl of black rose petals and the twirl of a simple black ribbon.
Clad in only a simple black leotard, the form of Kodachi Kuno stood proud as her lithe form twirled elegantly in place. For a moment, her cold black eyes merely stared down towards the pink garbed goblin pointing its shining metal club in her direction, before she turned that gaze back onto Ranma. Her gaze suddenly alight with maddened devotion, she practically purred out her words, “My lord, surely you don’t mean for me to waste my time on this… creature? The foul ichor these things call blood is such a pain to be rid of.”
“Kodachi…” there was a warning growl in the young man’s words as he gave a cold flat glare back in her direction.
Immediately she flinched, her body hunching back only slightly as her eyes flickered down. Head bowed she gave a slight little nod, “Of course My Lord,” her body twirling back to face the goblin once more, she stood tall and proud as her ribbon suddenly coiled and wroth like a snake around her, “Prepare yourself harridan! For now you and your foul minion face the might of the Black Rose!”
Lightly pinching against the bridge of his nose, Ranma sighed softly before he would lightly throw a card down towards the ground where it hovered quietly in pace, half a foot from the glistening grass, “Enough with the theatrics Kodachi, just get rid of it already.”
“Ez gunne haffen ta fout er?” the goblin asked, a sense of nervousness bleeding into its tone as it pointed it pink hued club at the gymnast, “Ez scurreh.”
“Don’t worry my friend, for we have love and justice on our side!” the blonde stood proud as she pointed her finger towards Ranma and Kodachi, “And we won’t let these big meanies win!”
“Roit!” the goblin nodded quickly at its Mistress’s speech before readying its club, “Fer duh luovin and jestus!”
Ranma’s glare only intensified even more, his fingers twitching slightly in temptation as they moved against certain cards. The temptation just kept gnawing at him, hungrily, urging him to strike, but he stilled himself to patience as he spoke, “Kodachi… Shut them up already”
“Certainly My Lord!” and with that, the gymnast brandished a bouquet of her namesake, the black roses wrapped in slightly crinkled white paper and bound by a single black ribbon before she hurled it at the girl and her goblin.
“Huh? Roses? For me?” Usagi blinked as the bouquet landed in her outstretched hands as she gave Kodachi an odd look, “Um, sorry, I’m sure you’re um, nice and all, but you’re really not my type…”
Before the gymnast could snap back an angry retort, the roses suddenly exploded, dispersing a fine powdery substance that covered both monster and summoner.
“Eee-urk!” the sudden outcry of surprise was cut off as the girl immediately began to cough as the paralytic poison powder filled her lungs, “T-that’s-*cough* not *hack* fair*wheeze*”
“Mehz nu fel gud…”
“Many of your opponents aren’t going to be playing fair little rabbit, how’re you going to handle that hmm?” he smirked softly as he watched the goblin stiffening up, its yellowed eyes opened wide as it could feel its limbs locking up, refusing to move.
For the moment however, Usagi was too busy coughing to give more than a glare back at Ranma.
