Ranma 1/2 does not belong to me, well I have it on tape so those belong to
me, but the series itself doesn't. You know the characters and stuff like

Subject: Re: You listen to ABBA?

Yes Nabiki I listen to ABBA. Is that something that I should be truly
ashamed of? I guess in your eyes it is. I could take the time to explain to
you the reasons, but I won't. I do not know any reason why I should have to
justify my musical tastes to you or anyone else. Just in case you are
wondering though I do not only listen to ABBA. At present moment I am
listening to an assortment of 80's songs�I think the current song is Listen
to Love, or something like that. Hmmm, just how do you picture me Nabiki? If
you tell me what you think I look like, I will do the same for you.

I know that I haven't said much about myself, I haven't said anything at all
actually. I am sorry about that, I'm also sorry that for now my real name
and all that other information about myself will have to remain secret. I
have my reasons Nabiki and, one day you will know those reasons, but till
then just know that I do care for you.

So you and your sisters are stuck in limbo over who to speak to your father.
I have a suggestion to add to the mix, I do not know if this will complicate
things further for you or make them easier but please do consider this
suggestion. Why not ask Mr. Saotome to talk to your father for you? Isn't he
your father's best friend after all? To you he may seem like a person who
only thinks for himself-at least judging from what you have told me- but I'm
sure that deep down beats the heart of someone who cares for his friends and
family. Ask your sisters about that see what they say.

I do not know Kuno or his family. I do however know a family that is very
much like them. The hell that they had to go through was enough to drive all
of the members of the family insane, putting them beyond reach of reason or
reality. They live each day in a dream world, where they are the rulers of a
distant land and are trying to rid themselves of all their foes. It is not a
pretty thing to see, and I'm almost sure that it is an even worse thing to
live. The glimpses of the old Kuno that you might see, are glimpses in the
past, to a time when he was sane, when the world around him did not appear
that it was falling in around him, when he was safe. You miss that Kuno, I
can tell from you e-mails. I wish I knew some way that you could reach him,
remove him from that dream world, but I don't. Like I said, I do not know
the Kuno family so all I know about them is from what you have told me. It
is up to you to find a way to help him that is�if he still wants the help.

I understand that you do not want to talk about what happened to Kuno's
mother and your own. It was just curiosity on my part, and you need not pay
attention to it.

You did tell me about Ryoga and the others. It was when we first started
e-mailing each other, so of course I do not expect you to remember such
things. Have you ever considered fixing Ukyo and Ryoga up on a date? They
sound like they might have a few things in common, the main thing of course
being Ranma and Akane. I know it's an odd thing to base a relationship on
but it might just turn out to be a good one. As for Shampoo, you must find a
way to get rid of her. Send her back to China, or anything that will get her
away from Ranma. It may sound like an evil thing to do, but I feel that only
when she is apart from him will she realize what she feels for him. If it
really is love well then, it is something that Ranma will have to handle. If
it is just an infatuation with his strength and ability like you say, well
then she will realize that and perhaps move on.

Just because you can not tell how you feel to Kuno does not make you a wimp.
It makes you human. All people go through what you currently are Nabiki, yes
even I go through it. But, you will never Kuno's reaction until you try. So
go for it, the worse thing he can do is say that he does not return your
feelings, and the best thing he can do is say he shares those feelings for
you. Once you find out you can work from there.

So what did Akane and Ranma have to say to you about Kasumi?

I best be going, my cursed sister is pestering me. She wants to use the
computer to look up some new recipes.

Yours faithfully�
