Hello all!

Hi!

This looks like it's going to be a fun one.  Do you have any idea how far
you will go with it?

    "Yeah. Somebody has to go after him. Who knows what kind of trouble that
baka is getting into."
    "Donít play games with me, sis." Nabiki said. "Just whoís room do you
think you were over last night?"
    "...."
    "Donít worry, Iíll keep youíre secret." Akane was about ready to ask how
must the secret was worth, but Nabiki cut her off. "The entertainment value
alone is well worth it."
    "What?"
     "This is the best joke going on. Just knowing about it is enough for
me. I canít wait until you tell Daddy and the Saotomes. The look on thier
faces will be priceless."
    Akane was dumbfounded.
    "Wait here a minute.." Nabiki rushed away, then reappeared, shutting the
door behind her. She held out a white envelope. "Here, you might need this."
    Akane took the envelope and looked inside. "Nabiki!! This is alot!"
    "I know. Every time I got some money out of Ranma I secertly put it
aside. Heís going to need it for when heís married. He could never hold on to
any money, Iíve seen his math grades." Nabiki smiled.
    Akane couldnít believe it. "You were saving up for.."
    "Yeah. This was this monthís take from him. Luckily for you, I havenít
put it in the bank yet."
    "Nabiki... "
    "We all have too look out for each other, right? Heís practically family
and I refuse to see anyone from my family in trouble."
     Akane understood. Nabiki had an image to uphold. She refused to have
any ties to poverty, and heaven forbid someone in her family was in financial
trouble. Nabiki would be disgraced and embarrased  if that happened. She had
taken precautions.
    Akaneís eyes flooded with tears. "Thank you, Nabiki." She hugged her
older sister.
    "No problem. Just donít tell anyone." Hugging her back. "Go bring that
fool home. Call _me_ if thereís a problem, understand?"

I like this interpretation of Nabiki...  This is a fairly unique approach
to the "Nabiki's really pretty nice under that mercenary exterior" line of
reasoning.

    To be Continued..

Soon, I hope.

Zen-
