::shrugs:: I thought Nabiki meant it in a number of ways, actually;
a) the sense that it's business, and business *is* what Nabiki does, so yes, it is what she's got to do when she gets back;
b) IIRC, Nabiki dropped everything, and I mean *everything*, to go to find/rescue Akane and Ranma, so she actually does have nothing else on and a new venture is necessary for her;
c) when she chooses to be, Nabiki is a good friend, so symbolically placing herself in the same boat as Ukyou, whom canon has shown is gregarious by nature, is an act of friendship on her part.

But perhaps Nabiki just means they've all got to build a new beginning from this point on, and is including herself in the tally.
