This is set in 'Training Kuno' just after parts 4.
It is also 'outside continuity'.  In other words it didn't happen,
I didn't write this ;-)

The Other Kuno

  Nabiki sat under the tree, relaxing in the leaf-dappled summer sun.
As she took another sip from the fruit juice carton a whirlwind of petals
blocked her view of the sky ...

  "Oh-Ho-Ho-Ho!" Kodachi cries, "Little girl I have need of your
services."

  Nabiki looks up and smiles at this, unable to resist speculating on how
much money she could recieve if she was working for _both_ Kunos.

  "Much as I respect my _darling_ older brother, he has always been lost
in his fantasy-samuri world of cherry blossoms and 'true love'" Kodachi
continues. "I have seen you take him closer to reality than any have
before."

  Nabiki nods understanding, wondering just _how_ much Kuno's sister has
seen.  She takes another sip of juice.

  "I need you to provide a similar service on my behalf."

  Nabiki sweatdrops slightly - wondering exactly what she has in mind.

  "I need you to break a delusion of love, to allow reality a chance to
blossom!" Kodachi declares.

  Nabiki has a mental image of herself and Kodachi sharing this lawn as a
grassy bed.  Just _maybe_ there are some things money can't buy.

  "I need you help me free Ranma-sama!" ... Kodachi wipes the fruit juice
from her face.  "Insolent girl!  I shall just have to get Akane out
Ranma's life in some other way."
