Paybacks are a ...
by Lara Bartram
"So what if I don't pay her back on time. What's she gonna
do?" The large boy laughed derisively. "She's maybe half my size."
"She made Ishi pay, and he's almost as big as you are," his
smaller companion answered.
"Ishi is a wuss, and you know it. She probably threatened to
tell his momma and he coughed up every dime in his pocket."
Tofumi shrugged. "If you say so."
"You act like I can't take care of a girl if she gets pushy.
You think I can't?" Tezuri grabbed the front of the smaller boy's
shirt and shook him. "Huh?"
"N-n-no," he stuttered, his head bouncing.
"Good." Tezuri dropped Tofumi to the ground. "The day I
can't take of a girl like that is the day I kiss Kuriko full on the
lips."
Tofumi shuddered. Kuriko was one of those somewhat... brutish
girls in body and personality that the other guys often compared to a
drunken sumo wrestler.
"When I've got the money, and when I'm ready, I'll pay her
back. Her little threats don't mean nothin' to me." He cracked his
knuckles as an idle gesture. "And if she don't like it, too bad.
I'll just be sure to let her know who's in a better position to make
demands." He grinned cockily.

"Excuse me?"
"I said I don't have it and you'll get it when I'm ready to
pay it back." Again, Tezuri cracked his knuckles, his eyes locked
with Nabiki's.
"I don't think you quite understand the penalty for late
paybacks. I don't play games."
"Neither do I. So if you have a problem..." He left the
threat unspoken, his right hand curled into a loose fist.
Nabiki glared, her eyes barely more than slits. "No, I think
you have the problem, buddy."
Before Tezuri could reply, he was doubled over, gasping for
air. "H... H..." He couldn't get any air into his lungs.
"Listen up, and make sure you let all your slimy little
friends know too, that when I set a date for you to pay me back, you
pay me back ON THAT DATE." Nabiki circled the gasping Tezuri. "What,
you thought that if you didn't pay me back, I was just going to let
you get away with it? I don't let anyone off easy."
She punched him sharply in one kidney, driving him to his
knees. "I know. You thought that if you threatened me, I'd just back
off. That my pride would never let me ask Ranma for help? That's it,
isn't it?"
Tezuri nodded his head, slowly getting his wind back.
"Dumbass. How'd you think I did this before Ranma?
Kuno-chan? Hell, I had to 'remind' him to pay three times a week when
he was still getting allowance." Nabiki laughed a little.
She leaned down and grabbed Tezuri by the hair. Pulling his
head back, she spoke right in his face. "I'll give you a one day
extension. I'm generous that way, see? One day. No more."
Before releasing his hair, she smashed him in the nose with
her forearm, sending blood spurting to the ground.
"Nice to do business with you," she said, wiping her hands off
after letting him go. Nabiki walked away, leaving Tezuri on the
ground.

"How'd she..."
"She didn't! I tripped. Down the stairs. I fell." Tezuri
glared menacingly at Tofumi.
"Oh. Right." He backed away a little. He backed away even
more when he saw Nabiki approaching, expecting to see some serious
fireworks.
Nabiki didn't say a word. She only held out her hand and the
money Tezuri owed her was placed into it. Like a trap, the hand
closed and the money was hidden into the pocket of her uniform.
"Gentlemen," she said politely. "Excellent doing business
with you," she said, smiling especially at Tezuri.
Tofumi looked at Tezuri and almost started laughing when he
saw the look in his eyes. "Oh no," he said quietly.
"What is it, punk?" Tezuri snapped.
"I gotta tell the guys. We gotta get Kuriko!" Before Tezuri
could grab him, he was off and running.
