Asuka, "The White Lily," is an old kindergarten acquaintance of Kodachi Kuno's. When they were young, the two had a contest to see who had the best looking boyfriend. And argument ensued and they destroyed their classroom, but were unable to settle the disagreement.

Asuka and Kodachi meet again, all these years later to finally settle the contest of who has the best looking boyfriend. Once Asuka sees Ranma, she promptly insults him and says that it will be very easy for her to win because her boyfriend is much better looking.

Akane encourages Ranma to accompany Kodachi as her "boyfriend" to prove that he's the better man. Ranma half-heartedly agrees and sets out to meet with Kodachi at the appointed location. Unfortunately for Ranma, Asuka has left behind quite a few traps to ensure that his face is mangled before he can reach her boyfriend and her.

Once Ranma and Kodachi make it through the traps they find out that Asuka's "date" was actually kidnapped against his will and thereby voiding the contest. Both Asuka and Kodachi agreed to meet again in five years and hold the contest again.
