Ki: Ryoga, where are we?
Ryoga: I wish I knew, Ki. Why does this always happen to me!?
A young man approached, a few years older than Ryoga and I, dressed in a samurai robe.
Young Man: What business have you on the property of the Kuno's. Who hath invited you to my abode?
Ryoga: Oh.. it's you... Ki, this is Kuno... Sorry, I guess we sorta stumbled into your yard.
Ki: Kuno? (I began to laugh slightly)
Tatewaki: You find humor in my name, fair one? However can that be? I am Blue Thunder of Furinkan High, Tatewaki Kuno. Now tell me, where is there humor in that?
Ki: It's just that.. I heard you had a thing for the pig-tailed girl.
Ryoga sighed and sat down against a tree
Tatewaki: It's true. The fair and robust pig-tailed girl has captured my heart. You haven't brought her with you, have you?
Ki: Well.. no.. But I was just over at the Tendo Dojo and I met her.
Tatewaki: Talking about me with the Pig-tailed girl!? Truly a thing of beauty. And you, who are you? It must be fate that brought you into my home.
Ki: Actually, it was a poor sense of direction, but since I'm here.. I can interview you, so I guess it's some twisted luck or something.
Tatewaki: I'm so glad we agree. How can I be of service to you?
Ki: I'd like to know everything you know about the pig-tailed girl.
Tatewaki: So beautiful is she, but why dwell on her when there is such to work with right here?
Ki: Because that's what I asked, pervert.
Tatewaki: A pervert am I? How dare you call me a pervert. If there was but one person in this town who was no pervert it would be I.
Ki: If you say so, but I suppose you're comparing yourself to Ranma.
Tatewaki: Ah, the cretenous Saotome! That womanizer! The fiend! There can be no bigger pervert in the world. To have hold on both Akane and my beloved pig-tailed girl.. is there no justice? I shall have to smite him on my arrival to school.
Ki: Sounds like a busy day for Ranma. A hold on Akane and the pig-tailed girl? What do you know of that?
Tatewaki: Only that she is of one mind and one body to the foul Ranma Saotome.
Ki: And yet you still.. swoon over her?
Tatewaki: His hold over women cannot last. Soon they will see his perversion, they will come to realize that he is a practitioner of black magic.. I shall bring him to justice and claim Akane and the pig-tailed girl as my own.
Ki: Wait, did you say black magic?
Tatewaki: Saotomes hold over the girl seems to allow him to change places with her at will.
Ki: You don't get it, do you? (laughs) That's sort of amazing. You've hit right upon it and still think that they are... how ignorant is that?
Tatewaki: What are you hinting at?
Ki: You even think I'm a girl!
Tatewaki: Well, you are a girl, I can see it with mine own two eyes.
Ki: Yeah, exactly.. but your mind makes up the rest, I guess.
Tatewaki: Watch your tongue!
Ki: I don't want you to be late for school, Kuno. You should get on with what you're doing. I'll come back if we get any questions for you.
Tatewaki: You may address me as Upperclassman Kuno, for I do not like your attitude, Miss. Perhaps I will answer such questions, but it's true, if I want to get ahead to stop Ranma, I shall have to depart. Farewell, Ki. We shall meet again.
Have any questions for Kuno?
