Doki Doki - C-121

By Prospero continuation of Doki Doki, Doki Doki - Turning Radius, and Doki Doki - Drifting. Hope you like it. If not … my dorm is freezing and I'll burn any flames to keep warm and get rid of my ever-present chest cold.

Disclaimer: Do I really need to say it?

Ranma ½ (its characters, themes, episodes, etc) all belong to Rumiko Takahashi, Viz Video, and whoever else owns them. All I know is that I do not own them. I am not making a profit out of writing this, and I never will. As a writer, I respect the right of intellectual property and so I would never do anything to violate that right. This is just a fanfic. I love Ranma ½ and think that Rumiko Takahashi is the greatest. I also have one other thing to say.

On another note I just have to say that I never expected to create a sequel to Doki Doki let alone a sequel to the sequel and now a sequel to the sequel to the sequel. Who knows maybe I'll turn out an amazing omnibus edition of all the thousands of Doki Doki stories I'll turn out for the rest of my life. Probably not but who knows? I do think that I'll have each of the stories from a different person's point of view. I wonder who it is this time. Oh and if anyone recognizes what the things after the Doki Doki refer to … they get bonus points! HINT: It's not not Martial Arts Down Hill Street Racing!

Bwee!

The school day has started off pretty normal. One thousand yen here, three thousand yen there, with the occasional fifty thousand from Kuno-baby. It's really kind of boring, but someone has to make sure the dojo has a roof. Repair work is cheap in Nerima, but not that cheap. Still I don't really deal with the masses anymore. That's left up to my agents who are all quite able to scam the people out of money for me. I reserve my own talents for the big customers.

There's only so much information that people are willing to buy. Not that I tell people that since a large part of my money comes from telling people that their secrets are more valuable to other people than they really are. In reality no one really cares about most of these secrets which allows me to pass a lot of things off to other people. But there is one topic I always deal with directly.

Ranma Saotome. Oh the file dealing with him is huge but even better is the fact that it connects to some of the strongest people in the country if not the world. Any thing that goes into those files is almost guaranteed to generate some profit in some form.

Usually I never trust the rumor mill at Furinkan seeing as how I start most of them, but today something strange is going on. I've had nothing to do with today's rumor and it directly affects one of the main players in the Ranma Files.

Ukyo Kuonji hasn't been in school the past few weeks and it never occurred to me to check it out and it should have. And now it appeared that she was back.

I run to the front gate in time to see that the rumors are true. Ukyo is back. What's more is that she's wearing a dress, and hanging off the arm of a gorgeous man in a Furninkan uniform.

Now I know people say that I'm the Ice Queen, but I'm not dead. I can see that this guy is a total hunk, but I'm slightly worried because I have no clue who it is. I've been completely broad sided by this new development and that is incredibly bad. I run to the office to find out who the new mystery student is.

If I was in shock before, I've now gone into complete mental shutdown. It's got to be a nightmare. It couldn't be anything else. I suppose I could have been forgiven if Ukyo had met someone from out of town and fallen madly in love with him. But no! Not with another person from Nerima! How had I screwed up so much that I hadn't noticed Ryoga dating Ukyo and their subsequently moving in with each other?

"Why is this happening to me?" Oh my god! I've just shouted that out loud in the middle of the hallway. Now everyone's going to know that I'm not in control of the situation.

Think, Nabiki, think! How bad are things really?

I can't sell information about Ranma to Ukyo or Akane to Ryoga.

Okay, that's bad. Anything good?

Ryoga and Ukyo won't be destroying the dojo so I won't need that money. I look at that and try to determine if that's accurate.

Ukyo wasn't that rough on the walls, but she did buy more information than almost anyone else except Kuno so the loss of income was greater than the gain would be.

But there was still Ryoga. He'd never bought that much information since it never really helped him that much, but when he was around he did more damage than Shampoo making him very expensive.

All in all things would probably wash. But with an extra benefit of eliminating some problems for Ranma and Akane, something Akane had expressed a desire for me to do. I shudder at the memory of that conversation.

I almost walk by the couple without noticing them standing in the hall. Well standing probably isn't the correct word since I doubt I've ever seen a double glomp as successful as this one appears to be. It is really quite shameful. I really don't want to ask why they are standing in the hall because some things are better off not being thought of.

As my thoughts turn back to the topic of money I wonder if there are other ways I can turn these events to my advantage.

If things in Nerima follow the general pattern, then many people would find a way to object to this match up. I could make a fortune selling those people information.

I stop dead in my tracks for a minute.

I wonder who I can sell the information about their becoming a couple to.

Shampoo.

Cologne.

Tsubasa.

Konatsu.

Akari.

Oh my! Akane and Ranma left for their training trip last night. I wonder how much they'll pay?
