The last time Tatewaki Kuno had enjoyed the pleasure of sharing a kiss with the pig-tailed girl, it had been through a layer of duct tape. This time, Kuno noted, it was … different. Not very pleasant, to be sure, and vaguely like kissing a mushroom. All the same, he savored the moment while it lasted, then slowly opened his eyes…
… and discovered, horrified, the face of the wrinkled old owner of the Cat Café staring up at him with love in her eyes.
"Why, stranger," said Cologne seductively, "you sure do know how to sweep a girl off her stick." She fluttered her eyelashes at him, or would have done so if she had any eyelashes left to flutter. "Now how about we try that one more time?"
For the first time in his life, Tatewaki Kuno was truly afraid. Owing to unforeseen circumstances, his brilliant plan to free the pig-tailed girl had gone horribly, horribly wrong. Despite the fact that it was a violation of the Kuno Code of Honor, the Kuno Code of Ethics, and probably at least a few of the other miscellaneous Kuno Rules and Regulations that he simply didn't have time to think about, he saw only one option immediately available.
"RUN AWAY!" he yelled, and shot out the door like a rocket.
Cologne, wasting no time, hopped on her stick and started off after him. "Come back here!" she yelled. "I'll show you Marital Arts Techniques that have been handed down since the T'ang Dynasty!" With that, she headed out in pursuit of her paramour, leaving Ranma, Akane, and Shampoo silent and awestruck.
It was Ranma who finally broke the silence. "Well, that was interesting…" he finally managed. "Akane, when did Kuno learn the Saotome Secret Technique?"
"Beats me," replied Akane. "Come on, let's go home. I think it's time we have a word with my sister."
Back on the streets of Nerima, Tatewaki Kuno was running for his life. He glanced over his shoulder, and was horrified to see the elderly old troll chasing after him on her stick, yelling "Wo ai ni!" and gaining ground rapidly. He wasn't sure whether or not he could hold her off for much longer. Still, he had a few ideas…
