Prologue
Everyone in the Tendo compound knows that you can never mess around with Nabiki Tendo. Well, fine, perhaps, everyone in Nerima. She somehow just exudes that aura of superiority and...deviousness.
On that particular Saturday afternoon, after going home from school, she felt unusually bored. Unusual because of the fact that she's actually counting all the whopping wads of money that she collected for the week's bets, blackmails, etc. and etc. She just thought that there seems to be nothing at the moment that amuses her. Everyone is afraid of her, she easily manipulates everyone, and she has always correctly predicts the outcome of her schemes...
"Nabiki, i baked cookies. Would you like to have some?" Her eldest sister Kasumi sweetly asked.
"Hmm..." Nabiki smirked, a light bulb suddenly switched on inside her head. "Sure, and can you also bring me a glass of cold orange juice please? It's awfully hot today! Thanks sis!" Nabiki gave her sister a broad smile.
"Well, why not!" Nabiki thought. "Kasumi is sweet, thoughtful and kind to others. I wonder if she has an ounce or a pinch of dark side in her. She sure always has a lot of patience though I've seen her frown sometimes at Uncle Saotome & Ranma's manners during breakfast time but...I'd like to see her act differently. I bet Kasumi can do a little bit of naughtiness. I mean come on, we're sisters right?" Then, she remembered, "U-oh, the Lenten season is coming, not that I'm a Christian but everyone is expected to do some penitence or some good deeds and all...Well come to think of it, what I'm about to do is to make Kasumi a better person - to become more lively!" She assured herself. After awhile of enjoying Kasumi's tasty treats, she heard loud stomping coming at their door.
"Spar with me then!"
"Why are you being so uncute, tomboy! I told you I don't hit girls!"
"Hah, you keep on calling me sexless and then you go on ranting that! You're really such a jerk!"
"My, my aren't we having the typical Lovers' Quarrel afternoon delight!" quipped Nabiki nonchalantly, while flipping the pages of her ledger.
"We're not lovers, obviously!" Akane snapped.
"Nope, not ever! I'd rather be speared by a thousand arrows than to be with that tomboy!"
"Why you sex-changing freak!" shouted Akane
"Blah-blah-blah! I better leave you two here while the walls are still intact."
With that, Nabiki went up to her room. She suddenly realized that it's been more than a year since Ranma & her baby sister had been forced to be engaged and yet, they're still at each other's throat. Well, if it's up to her she can actually think of effective ways for these two to finally come up to terms with what they really feel for each other! But honestly, the longer they drag everyone on their heels, the more she earns out of everyone's curiosity.
"But their fights are getting monotonous every single day! She said to herself. "Nah! My dearest sister Kasumi will save my day haha!" With that in mind, Nabiki took a nap while forming her plan in her dream.
Author's Note:
Well, that's all for now. I actually wanted to write a collection of stories with titles based on each Ranma 1/2 character's mood. Let's see if I can do that. Please review!
