Letter from Nabiki 2.
A Ranma � Fanfic by Tracy Garnett AKA Crikit.

Subject: Kasumi.

Do you not read my e-mails or something? I don't know how many times I've
told you that I am not a kind and caring person. I'm far from it. I care
about money that's it. I use my family every chance I get. I don't care how
much it hurts them just as long as I get what I want. Part of me says that's
wrong but the other much stronger part says that that is necessary. It says
you have to extort you family in order to get what you want, once your rich
they'll forgive you. By then it will probably be too late. All ready Akane
and Ranma are distancing themselves from me, and soon I'm sure that Kasumi
will start to do the same. Once that happens the only person in my family
who will still trust me will be my father. My father, the man who is to
stupid to see what is happening to his little girls.

Something in your last e-mail made me laugh. That was you suggesting that I
tell Kuno what I feel about him. I meet Kuno the first day of school. Back
then we were friends, I guess you could say it was a friendship of
convenience. Neither of us were very out going people�I guess you would call
us shy (What happened to us?). And the teacher taking pity on us in class
one day decided to pair Kuno and I up for a project. I can't remember what
the project was but it was something stupid. Aren't most school projects
stupid? Anyway while we were working on the project Kuno and I became
friends. Of course things were normal for both of us back then, Kuno was
normal back then. We stayed friends up till junior high.

I've talked enough about Kuno. All this reminiscing is starting to get to
me.

I found something out about Kasumi today. I thought that you would like to
know. While Kasumi was out shopping I snuck in to her room to search for
clues about her desires. It was while I searching that I discovered
something about my sister I never knew before. That something being that she
once loved and that she lost that person. I'm not talking about my mother
either�I don't know who it was but �I better include what makes me think
that.

This is a poem that my sister wrote. At least I think she wrote it, it's in
her writing.

I remember the way we used to laugh together
you holding me, and me not wanting to let you go.
I remember the way you use to make me smile
when all I wanted to do was cry.

I remember how much I loved you and
how much you loved me.

And I remember how hard I cried
when I found out that you had died.
It happened all of the sudden
Or say that's what they say.

A plane crash was how it happened,
and an angel took you away.
They say you didn't suffer,
my dear you felt no pain.
But I deep inside me know
that your heart broke before you died.
You cried at the thought of leaving me with
no-one left to hold.

And you were angry at the fact that you
couldn't say goodbye.
The angel tried to comfort you,
and help you be at ease.
Only to heighten the fear
that was haunting your soul.

I felt your spirit leave me,
and I knew that you were gone.
My love will live forever,
and the pain I feel will die.
But knowing that you loved me,
will strengthen all my weakness,
and settle al my fears,

But Darlin' it will
never dry my tears.

That's it, that's the end of the poem. Do you see know what has me so
confused?  Who was this person that Kasumi wrote about? I would ask her but
then she would know that I had searched her room. That I had invaded her
privacy.  So this question goes to you, who do you suppose that she was
writing about? I know it wasn't my mother�she was already dead when Kasumi
wrote this. If you can think of anything that would help me figure it out
tell me.

I'd better go; I have some thinking to do.

Ciao,
Nabiki

P.S. Ranma and Akane have agreed to help me in the search for Kasumi's
desire. Thanks for the suggestion.
