[Episode 31246] [Episode 31246]"Mistress Shampoo will get you sooner or later!" Yuka declared.
"Aw, shut up, jackass," Ukyou muttered morosely. "I thought he...she was joking about that evil thing." She turned toward Kodachi and cuddled up to her. "Are you okay, Kodachi? Do you need anything? Are Cologne's herbs helping at all?"
"I'm fine, Ukyou-sama," Kodachi said, trying not to look embarassed at the show of concern. "Really, I do not need anything...I might later...when we're all alone and..."
Cologne ignored the display of Ukyou's worrying side triggered and looked around the room and the creepy decorations and arched an eyebrow.
"Really?" Cologne said. "I suppose she did present an excellent cover story."
Sander coughed a moment and Cologne looked to him.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Kodachi and Ukyou played the same game yesterday," Sander said. Cologne arched the other eyebrow.
"Yes," Kodachi said. "I captured and ravished the poor helpless maiden."
"We even had a gallant rescuer," Ukyou said, humor recovering slightly.
"The screams were very convincing," Sander said, shifting about and blushing. "And...err...after it was explained...I...errr..."
"Brought me over to the side of glorious light," Kodachi sighed thankfully. At which point she added, in a casual off-hand manner, "And then Ukyou played the evil queen."
Cologne blinked...several times.
"I...see," she said.
"It's just a game," Ukyou said, shrugging. "Like the nails."
Cologne's eyes grew wide and Sander twitched.
"And the cat o'nine tails," Kodachi said. Sander twitched again, Cologne was beginning to doubt that she'd seen it all.
"And once we figured out how much a werewolf could heal," Ukyou started. Sander started to look sick. "There was the -"
"WHERE IS SHE!?!" a new voice roared through the slightly redecorated restaurant. Jetta stomped into the room. "Where is this girl that has the gall to tell me that she's going to be my sister-in-law?"
Kodachi and Ukyou raised their hands. Jetta pointed between them and blinked in surprise.
"I thought there was just..." Jetta started. "Nevermind, what makes you think you can...wait, what happened here?" She frowned as she noticed the silver-cut on Kodachi's shoulder and the burns on her neck. She frowned.
"It looks like a fight took place," Setsuna observed as she came in behind Jetta.
"Were you playing 'games' with silver, 'sisters-in-law?'" Jetta asked angrily. "Because if you think I'll let my brother stay with someone who thinks silver is a toy."
"It wasn't us," Ukyou protested.
"A bunch of were-cats attacked us," Sander said. "They tried to force Ukyou to put on some sort of magical collar by torturing Kodachi."
"That's what you get for trusting people that tell you they've sold their souls to evil!" Jetta snapped angrily.
"We thought it was a joke," Kodachi said. Jetta did a double take.
"How could you possibly think..." she stopped as she noticed Cologne and Sander waving their hands.
"Don't ask," Cologne said.
"Damn," Ranma said. "Are you guys okay?"
"I'm fine," Ukyou said. "But that little...I can't call her a bitch, it'd be an insult to canines...that...ALLEY CAT...cut Koda-chan here!" Ukyou hugged Kodachi close and was the picture of worry. "With silver even!"
The room observed Ukyou with a mix of uncomprehending expressions, save Sander.
"She did the same thing when they accidentally ran me through," Sander said.
"Ra...ran you through?" Jetta shrieked. "My little brother?!" She turned to the girls and worked her jaw in enraged silence for a moment.
"I'm sure they have some explanation, Jetta-san," Makoto said nervously. "Really I am. Don't they?"
"We were playing a game," Ukyou said fiercely, getting between Kodachi and Jetta. "And there was this spear we were using for background, and Kodachi fell and knocked it over and Sander ran into it..." and at this moment moved to Sander's side. "I was SOOO worried about Sa-chan!" Embarrassed expressions were renewed, save Kodachi, who had lost the attention and looked relieved instead. "But then he healed up and explained about regeneration."
At that a strange light grew in Ukyou's eyes, accompanied by a sigh from Kodachi, and Jetta stepped back and said "urk."
"Okay," Sheila said. "I got it! Back to what happened with this fight!"
"Excuse me," Setsuna said. "Was she part of the attackers, or is she perhaps one of your games?"
"Lord Claudius will rule over all!" Yuka declared. "You shall all bow before Lord Claudius and Mistress Shampoo!"
"Errr," Makoto said. "Maybe we should call over Usagi."
