I gave it a suprise ending.


Nabiki's Diary
Part 2
By Jared Lewis

Author's Notes: Okay, here's part 2!  This is going to start sounding like a
trashy romance novel from here on.  Remeber, Nabiki died in the first part.
Any scenes featuring her are flashbacks.

_________

	Nabiki felt nauseous.  She was naked, in bed, with Ryoga, who was snoring
extremely loud.  "Ryoga," she whispered.  He roled over in his sleep.  It was
obvious she hadn't made her point.  
"RYOGA!!!!!"
	He snapped awake at that.  He was still groggy and didn't grasp the situation
immediately.  But when he saw Nabiki, nude and dangerously close to him, he
realized.  
"Um..Nabiki!  Hi, good morning!  So, why am I naked and in bed next to you?  
	Nabiki was _very_ irrtiated.  She wanted to smack Ryoga through the window
like Akane did Ranma.  From behind him she could see a bottle of sake.  It was
open and two cups were on the night table next to it.  
	Now it was clear.  That pervert Ryoga had gotten her drunk and seduced her.
That was it!  
	Ryoga examined Nabiki  curiously.  She was furious.  He'd seen her a bit
irritated sometimes, but never this mad.  "Ryoga....its become apparent that
you and I hasd sex.  It was totally out of my control.  Do you kow what that
means?"
	"Er..no."
	Nabiki punched him square in the jaw, sending him flying out of the bed.  
	"IT MEANS WE FUCKED EACHOTHER!  DO YOU GET IT?!  IS THAT TOO COMPLICATED FOR
YOU TO UNDERSTAND?!"

*******
I didn't know what to make of it.  Here it was, in black and white, that
Nabiki had slept with Ryoga.  RYOGA, of all people!  "So," I started.  "She
whacked him silly and that was the end of it?"
"Hardly..there's 13 pages in here about Ryoga!"

*******
Nabiki finished spraying on a little perfume when she heard a tap on the
window.  She opened it and let Ryoga embrase her.  She felt safe, something
she never thought she'd feel in man'd arms.  Their lips touched.  Ryoga's body
quivered as he felt her tounge in his mouth.  When they parted, Nabiki said,
"I've been giving the past few weeks a lot of thought...  When are we going to
tell everyone...about..us?"

	This hit Ryoga like a roundhouse to the stomach.  Oh, Akane!  Had he
forgotten about her?  The one he loved with all his heart?  The shock was
replaced by depression.  Forget it, Ryoga.  Akane loves Ranma. She doesn't
give a damn about you.  His depression turned into frustration.  He needed to
relax.  I lifted Nabiki into his arms and carried her over to the bed.  
___

Emptiness.  Emptiness and deep depression.  With his umbrella over his head,
Ryoga kneeled over the grave in the rain.  The grave of his fallen love.  The
grave of the woman who'd claimed his virginity.  The tears came again.  He
buried his face in the earth and sobbed.
	"I'm really sorry Ryoga."  Ryoga turned and saw Ranma and Akane standing.
There.  Akane said, "We raid Nabiki's diary.  She tried to sell Mr. Saotome to
the zoo so she could buy you a birthday present."

It has been ten years since Nabiki's death, and Istill love just as much as I
ever did.  Whereever she is, I know she is happy, and that she loves me.  I
knew Nabiki would want me to be happy and not grieve over her forever, so I
eventually found a new girlfriend--Ukyo.  She can't replce Nabiki; she knows
that, but I still love Ukyo very, very much.  There was a time when I thought
I'd never love again, that I couldn't live without Nabiki.  I was a afraid of
being hurt again.  But now I know that Nabiki doesn't resent that I've moved
on, she's happy for me.

"Ryoga-honey.."  Ukyo stood as Ryoga put both their flowers on Nabiki's grave.
He rose and rubbed his eye.  "Let's go home."  He turned to her and smiled.
"Yeah, lets go."
