I don't own Ranma 1/2 or KHR!

Quick Note: Sorry for not posting yesterday, the day got away from me. I never know how the day will go or what exactly is coming next, but a lot of you saw a bit of what I have planned for Kyoya! I'm not sure what's in the cards for today, but maybe we'll throw Nabiki in for a loop. ;)

Guest 1: Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Guest 2: I'm guessing you're not the same person as Guest 1, but thank you as well. Actually, that song only shrinks your maturity level, at least, that's what I was told... Not sure on that. So, that's means that you are in no way losing years off your life! ;) Yeah, Reborn's a bit OOC, but it's going to happen. I don't know the guy, personally, after all, and everyone knows he's a bit of a troll... so I figured, why not make him have Ranma a bit more on edge with that comment.


Restructuring Tendo Nabiki


Clean up from the fight didn't take long, with everyone helping, and Kyoya had refrained from using his Cloud Flames, so there wasn't too much damage. It was at this time, that Fon and I-Pin managed to slip away, with a bit of help of the crocodile tears Lambo cried.

"Sifu, where are we going?" I-Pin asked curiously.

"We are going to have a chat with the young money-maker of the family," Fon whispered softly to his student.

"Don't worry, I will cover her ears, if need be," a soft female voice whispered next to his ear.

"Chrome?!" Fon and I-pin jumped a fraction of an inch.

"Nana suggested I help protect I-Pin's eyes and ears, in case something inappropriate shows up in the conversation," Chrome shrugged as she vanished back into nearly non-existence.

"Did Nana also tell you which room was Tendo Nabiki's?" Fon asked curiously.

"Actually, Ranma did," Chrome smiled as she only let her Cheshire smile be visible.

"Ane, can you teach I-Pin that trick?!" I-Pin pleaded excitedly with Chrome.

"If you have Mist, yes," Chrome smiled happily at I-Pin, briefly, before they made it to the door of Nabiki's room.

"Do we go in?" I-Pin asked Chrome.

"No, we knock first," Fon replied and swiftly knocked on the bedroom door.

"I'm not hungry right now, Kasumi," Nabiki yelled through the door.

"We are not Kasumi," Fon replied through the door.

"I take it you aren't leaving until you've had this conversation that you wanted to have with me?" Nabiki rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Precisely," Fon smiled his most disarming smile.

"Come on in," Nabiki grumbled. "Wait! There's three of you?!"

"We figured that your father would feel safer, if he knew that there were two other girls in your room with a man," Chrome had, apparently, decided to be visible, for now.

"Now, shall we begin?" Fon handed I-Pin to Chrome, who had taken a seat next to the door.

"Begin what?" Nabiki slowly backed up until her knees hit the edge of her bed, making her sit down on her bed. She felt a trickle of fear shiver throughout her body, as she knew something strange was about to happen...

"Our conversation. Please pay attention, Tendo Nabiki," Fon raised an eyebrow. "Now, while I understand resorting to certain practices to keep you afloat, it is not under the code and creed that the rest of your family have. It is part of your doing that has caused your father to have more breaks from reality. You enabled him to do nothing. It is his job to protect and raise you, yet you have become a blackmailer instead of making him your protector."

"What right do you have to lecture me on how I've kept our family going, despite the freeloaders?!" Nabiki glared angrily at Fon.

"While Genma has been free-loading, you've exploited young Ranma, and your own sister, more than necessary. Do you feel no shame?" Fon tried guilting the girl to changing her ways. Unfortunately, he could see that it would take far more to turn this hard-case around.

"I've done what was needed. We have enough money to feed them and fix up all the messes they or their so-called friends cause. It all works out," Nabiki sneered at him.

"Ranma, your father, and your sisters are unaware of what extents that you've gone to. Imagine what would happen if... well, when, they find out?" Fon dangled the proverbial bait in front of her, changing tactics actually had seemed to make a small chink in Nabiki's armor.

"You're a sneaky one," Nabiki growled at Fon.

"One of my nicknames is the Eye of the Storm," Fon chuckled behind his red sleeve, making both I-Pin and Chrome grin.

"The Eye?" Nabiki blinked, something about that sounded familiar... Wait, was this something to do with the Yakuza? No... Nabiki's mind was frantically thinking faster and faster.

"Oh yes, after all, I'm only an adopted Hibari, much like Nana. Mai is my younger sister," Fon smirked.

"Nanashi and you are not official Hibari's?" Nabiki was starting to put the pieces together.

"No, and Mai and I are originally from China... Nana, well... there was an attempt on her life and she woke up a new woman. Befriended my family and adopted all of the children you heard with her name, legally," Fon was enjoying this, maybe a bit too much, now that he thought about it. Who knows, though, she might have the guts to be apprenticed to Mammon.

"China? Jusenkyo?" Nabiki paled.

"No, not that area," Fon smiled serenely.

Nabiki felt another chill run up her spin, he was enjoying this chat far too much, and that was when it clicked, "The Triads?"

"Ah, now I have to wonder who spoke to you about the Triads?" Fon tapped his cheek in false contemplation with his right pointer finger.

"You're the enforcer," Nabiki paled as all of her color drained from her being. "Did someone hire the Triads to put a hit on me?"

"No. Actually, I don't work for the Triads, any more. I am finally free, as are my family," Fon smiled.

"Ane, why is Sifu scaring the pretty lady?" I-Pin asked curiously.

"Because the pretty lady uses and abuses her family ties to get money," Chrome replied quietly.

"How?" I-Pin asked innocently.

"Bad pictures," Chrome replied.

"Bad?" I-Pin asked, before she turned to Nabiki, "Why do you take bad pictures, pretty lady?"

"I..." Nabiki stopped as she listened and stared at the innocent little girl. Yes, there was a scary Triad member in her bedroom, but having an innocent girl ask her why she ran her side business? That did it for Nabiki. "I did it for my family. So that Kasumi, Akane, and I can go to college and hire a caretaker so that we don't have to worry about dad while we're away."

"But, there's a better way than bad pictures! Right, pretty lady?" I-Pin asked the older girl, hopefully.

"Not as fast, but there might be..." Nabiki winced at the pout of the young girl.

"Sifu, Chrome-ane, is there a better way?" I-Pin pleaded with the adults.

"Yes, I-Pin," Fon smiled with his eyes. "You have a network, and you know how to gather information... So, why not study under an information broker, who dabbles in the stock-market?"

"I don't know an information broker, who dabbles in the stock-market," Nabiki frowned.

"Ah, but you know me, you know of the Triads, have you ever heard of Mammon?" Fon smirked as Nabiki's jaw dropped.

"Costa Nostra. You and the Hibari's are Coasta Nostra!" Nabiki paled in shock, "I can't believe that you know Mammon!"

"How much do you know about the Coasta Nostra?" Fon asked curiously.

"Um..." Nabiki handed him a file from under her mattress, making sure that her hand didn't touch his.

Fon looked through the file, before closing it, "I see. It's a basic profile of the Coasta Nostra, however, you have a few more details than the average citizen does. Are you aware of Omerta?"

"Yes," Nabiki shivered.

"Ah, then I only need to ask if you would be interested in mending fences with your family and being apprenticed to Mammon?" Fon tempted her again.

"What will it cost me for an introduction?" Nabiki swallowed nervously.

"Burning all of the pictures that are... indecent of Ranma and your sisters, even their friends," Fon smiled serenely, again.

"Anything else?" Nabiki eyed the martial artist master.

"Do not take any more without permission. Do not blackmail your friends or family, and keep your information network pliable. Also, make sure that nothing gets out about the Hibari's being at this dojo, it could end badly if the story is not broken right," Fon informed her.

"Agreed," Nabiki nodded to Fon, before taking his hand and shaking it, sealing the deal.

"The pretty lady has agreed to stop taking bad pictures, I-Pin," Chrome informed the little girl.

"Thank you for helping the pretty lady, Sifu. Thank you for making sure I-Pin was safe and protected, Chrome-ane," I-Pin grinned, she knew exactly what she had helped her Sifu and Chrome do, and hoped that it would make Ranma-kun's life a bit better!

Nabiki would never know that she had been beaten by the genius of a little girl, but both Fon and Chrome would smile proudly at her and praise her in private, later.
