Nabiki looked down at the newly developed Polaroid. It pictured Kasumi draped over a strange man whose face couldn't quite be made out. It was quite a compromising photo if she did say so her self.
"Well Ranma, what's it going to be? Are you going to give up like a good little boy and consent to be my worker or are you going to make me use this photo and create a whole world of trouble for Kasumi?" Ranma glared.
"I had hoped that you would have changed but obviously that hasn't happened. The only reason I let you use me in the past was because you were using the money to help your family." Nabiki laughed a cruel laugh.
"Oh please! Don't tell me you actually believed that! I've never used my own money to help support the family. Moms insurance was so large when she died that we never had to worry as long as we lived cheaply. Of course that means that I had to make any personal spending money by myself and that's where you came in." Ranma reached in his jacket pocket and fumbled around.
"Fine how much do you want for that photo? Of course you do know that blackmail and extortion are illegal. Not to mention Breaking and entering." Nabiki's smirk grew.
"Of course I know blackmail is illegal, along with the betting pools, voyeurism, racketeering, invasion of privacy and loan sharking. But it doesn't matter as long I don't get caught." She reached into her bag and pulled out some very racy lingerie.
"Now put this on, Kuno baby is just dying for some more pictures of his Pigtailed Goddess. The ones I took of Akane in the bathtub aren't satisfying him anymore." Ranma scowled.
"Your no better then a drug dealer Nabiki, getting people hooked on a free sample and then charging them an arm and a leg for more. Don't you have any remorse at all for what you've done?" Nabiki rolled her eyes into the back of her head as if she were thinking hard and then smirked.
"Nope. Any more questions?" Ranma sighed.
"I had hoped that you would have changed while I was gone but I can see that isn't the case. I guess you have to learn you lessen the hard way." Ranma reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his wallet and something shiny. All of a sudden Nabiki found him pulling her arms behind her back and heard the click of metal locking into place.
"Nabiki Tendo I herby place you under arrest in the name of the Emperor of the Imperial Government of Japan." Nabiki was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"Oh please Ranma. This is so pathetic; you don't have the power to arrest me! And even if you did you don't have any proof of any crime. I made sure a long time ago that no one could track down my activities." Ranma's face grew stone like.
"I don't need proof of your activities, your confessions will do just fine." Nabiki gasped as Ranma pulled out a small tape recorder from his wallet and pushed play.
""Of course I know blackmail is illegal, along with the betting pools, voyeurism, racketeering, invasion of privacy and loan sharking. But it doesn't matter as long I don't get caught. Now put this on, Kuno baby is just dying for some more pictures of his Pigtailed Goddess. The ones I took of Akane in the bathtub aren't satisfying him anymore.""
Ranma pushed stop as Nabiki's jaw hit the ground. She quickly composed herself; she still had one ace up her sleeve.
"Even if you have that tape what good will it do, the police will never believe you. And you still don't have the power arrest me. There's no such thing as a citizens arrest." Now it was Ranma's turn to smirk.
"I know that, that's why I have this." Ranma opened his wallet and a flash of gold caught the afternoon sun coming through the window.
"Special investigator Ranma Kurichi of the Japanese Ministry of Investigation, class A unrestricted. Meaning I have all of the powers and privileges of a regular police. Including the ability to arrest someone if I see a probable reason."
The color drained out of Nabiki's face as it sank in. Ranma pulled out a cell phone and started dialing.
"We have quite a file down at headquarters on you Nabiki. The only reason we never did any thing is because there wasn't enough hard evidence and you were a minor. But now that you're an adult and we have this tape I'd say you're going to have a nice long stay in jail. A couple of years at least. If I learned any thing from you it was to always keep a record on your enemies. Hello, O'Brian guess who I just caught.
__________________________
Nabiki sat in a jail cell at the Tokyo police headquarters watching her cellmate warily. She was about thirty years old and kept licking her lips as she studied Nabiki. The fact that she was nicknamed "Piano wire" wasn't comforting either. Hearing steps in the hallway she looked over to see Kasumi standing at the door.
"Well Nabiki, I'd like to say I'm sorry but you've had this a long time coming. Ranma only told them about you breaking into his apartment so they don't know about the tape. It was all Ranma and I could do to convince them to let you out on bail. They set it at two million yen which our family naturally can't pay, so you have Ranma to thank for your freedom." Nabiki looked puzzled but Kasumi went on.
"Don't get too happy. Ranma may have paid your bail but until his bank account confirms the transaction you're going to stay here. And since Ranma's bank account is in Switzerland you're going to spend the night here." Kasumi couldn't tell if the shock on her face was from the fact that Ranma had a Swiss bank account or the fact that she would have to spend the night in jail. Judging by the purring noises coming from her cellmate it was the later. Kasumi frowned.
"You brought this on yourself Nabiki. Your trial is coming up in two months and there's almost a one hundred percent chance you're going serve some jail time." Kasumi smiled sadly.
"But despite all that you're still my sister and I forgive you." Giving her hand a reassuring squeeze she turned and left. Nabiki watched as her sister disappeared down the hall and started to cry. Curling up on her bed she sniffed and tried to fall asleep. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"There, there, why don't you let me make you feel REAL good." Nabiki eeped. It looked like she wouldn't be falling asleep anytime soon.

Ranma finished filling out the paper work necessary for Nabiki's arrest and walked out into the hall where Kasumi was waiting.
"I'm sorry."
"You weren't that long Ranma. There's no reason to apologize."
"I mean I'm sorry for arresting your sister." Kasumi nodded with understanding.
"Oh, we'll you were just doing your duty. And I should really thank you for it. You heard what she had been up to, in a few more years she would be doing much more serious crimes or joining the mob." Ranma chewed on Kasumi's response and nodded.
"Yeah, your probably right." __________________
Kasumi closed the gate to the Tendo estate and walked in the front door. It had been a most eventful date that was sure. Getting attacked by Ryoga and having her sister arrested wasn't something she had been expecting to happen today. Ranma had advised her not to tell about her college plans to her family until the excitement with Nabiki had settled down. Walking in the door she was almost knocked over at the stench coming from the kitchen.
"Kasumi where have you been all day? You weren't here to make diner so I thought I would surprise you and do it myself." Kasumi looked over from the color changing blob that Akane had made to her father and Genma. She wasn't sure if the look on there faces were anger at her leaving or pain from eating Akane's cooking. She sweatdropped. Telling them about Nabiki wasn't going to be easy. ___________________
Across town Ranma jumped from one roof to another. All of a sudden a flash of red light shot towards his feet and he barely managed to dodge the resulting explosion. Leaping down into an ally he heard the sound of a steel sword being drawn from a scabbard. Dodging the first strike he leapt back a couple of yards and faced his opponent. At first he couldn't see anything but then two red orbs of light appeared. A teenage girl wearing traveling clothes walked out of the shadows and the two points of light were reviled to be her eyes. She hefted he giant sword and spoke.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Ranma. You didn't think that you could run away from your wife forever did you?
Author's notes
I know I'm evil for leaving this hanging like this but it will all make sense in the next chapter. Now that Nabiki has been dealt with the amazons are next. But it might take awhile since the old creative juices are running pretty dry of late. I also want to start a Ranma/Yugioh crossover that's been bouncing around in my head. Check back for a new chapter of REF in two weeks. Don't ask me why a Japanese police station would have a desk sergeant named O'Brian and yes, even the great Kasumi Tendo can sweatdrop. Send all C&C to animeprime1@hotmail.com send all flames and death threats to GWbush@1600PAavenue.gov you will definitely get a response.
