"What do you mean, lay low?" Akane demanded. "There are still those brats to think about!"
"Only a few days, sugar," Ukyou said shrugging.
Their entire plan for revenge on Ranma had hinged around her. If Ranma hadn't trusted her, they would have failed to take down either of the fighters. She'd had made several plans for them actually, and Ranma and Misao had been able to elude most of them.
In the end, the four of them had had to give up on the idea of getting revenge on Ranma and keeping their hands clean of it in public. So now they were on the run in this new, Meiji age.
"I'm afraid the servant girl is correct," Kodachi said. "We need to regroup and plan our next step well, or it might be our last."
Kodachi looked to the calm Ukyou and wondered, perhaps, if the cook had ever truly forgiven Ranma for the first unintended insult. She was a good actor, perhaps good enough to make Ranma believe she wanted to marry him when all she was really looking for was a weakness?
"Swordman and friends already looking for us," Shampoo noted.
"We could go to China," Ukyou suggested. Shampoo shook her head.
"Shampoo kill mother and pregnant woman, Amazons will kill Shampoo," Shampoo said. "Musk King owe Ranma life debt. Phoenix respect Ranma. If in China they find. They kill."
"So that's why you didn't want to fight Misao," Akane noted.
"If Akane do her job, Shampoo would no have to," Shampoo pointed out icily.
"Come on, girls," Ukyou snapped. "We need to find a place to hide for a bit and figure out where the bastard and his bitch hid their brats. We don't need to be fighting with each other."
"I have some treasure yet to my hand," Kodachi noted. "But the matter of funds will come up."
"Right," Ukyou said. "Well, let's head out to Hokkaido then. For a start, there's enough space there to hide four women for a few days."
