## History

Bu was sent by the AAADTG school to get the whereabouts of Madame Lao who was currently running a wee bit too fast and loose for the local powers' liking. Incensed by the numerous rumors about the notorious female pirate/slave trader Bu agreed. Catching some early information that placed the Lanocane at Hong Kong harbor which he was only a day's travel away from Bu went to confirm it. Unfortunately no matter what he did he couldn’t seem to make it there even when he decided to just take a plane he somehow ended up in Japan.

Though upset by the time he made it to Nerima Bu was just trying to figure out what or who was manipulating him. he was brought out of his musing by Kodachi crashing into it. Kodachi yelled at Bu-Chan for baring her path, but not recognizing her decided to spare Bu her wrath for being new to Nerima. However she quickly grew annoyed by Bu’s snarky personality and attacked her.

Kodachi proved be no match for her and Bu was about to leave satisfied that she had shown the Black Rose who not to mess with, only for Kodachi to suddenly give her a bouquet of roses. Against his better judgment Bu accepted them and was promptly knocked out.

Bu woke up bound to Kodachi’s bed with her preparing to use various interments she had gathered for her rivals. This caused Bu to wonder if she was connected to Madame Lao, Kodachi talking about the dratted pigtailed girl didn’t help much. Bu was able to trick Kodachi into activating his curse by asking for a drink of water as a final request.

Freed from his shackles Bu jokingly threatened to give her a taste of her own medicine. Kodachi immediately started begging for mercy and Bu let her go. Bu explained the nature of Jusenkyo causing Kodachi to finally realize that Ranma and Ranma-chan were the same person. Intrigued at finding another cursed victim the two compared notes.

Kodachi ran off to confirm Ranma’s curse only to come back having been chased off by Kodachi. Bu shamelessly joined her in the bath, and started to attempt to convince Kodachi seek someone else when Ranma, Shampoo, Akane and Ryoga came crashing in.

Initially amused he became confused that Shampoo seemed to know who he was. It took them a half-hour to explain everything to Bu and Kodachi. Bu had experience with interdimensional travel so was surprised, but was worried that the Jewelry Store Owner didn’t have to follow the usual rules. Kodachi however found their story far harder to believe. Even Ranma confirming it didn’t entirely convince her though she backed off when Bu reminded her of the curses.

He felt it was for the best to let the two go back to their home. Ranma tried to protest but Bu immediately cut him off telling him that the entire thing was his fault for messing with the space-time continuum. Logic started to win out until Kodachi said that Akane and Shampoo were acceptable loses. This caused Bu to lay into him again stating that he might well just have to accept the fact that the original Akane and Shampoo were gone.

When Bu finally asked Akane and Shampoo if they were the originals Akane made sure she was the one to affirm the negative. Unfortunately she let her guard down when Ryoga asked causing Bu to realize she was lying. The jig was up the two admitted that they had memories of this universe luckily by this point Derek had grown tired of things and made his presence known. He’d been hoping that Ranma would realize Akane and Shampoo didn’t belong in this world, but since he remained defiant he told the two where the bracelets were Shampoo immediately ran for the door. Akane stayed behind for a while to say she was sorry before following her.
