"" conversation

Nabiki was pissed!!!…. Her mind still full of just what happened in the mall!!!… The nerve of that guy!!!.. How dare he!!!… She was still fuming with anger when she got home at the Tendo residence. Her older sister Kasumi merrily greeted her, but Nabiki simply walked passed her sister. Kasumi noticing this wanted to confront her about her rude behaviour but decided against it since what ever that was bothering her sister, really got her worked up… Its better to wait and let her calm down first before going to talk to her… but what ever it was it seems pretty huge since it takes a lot to get the middle Tendo worked up…

Nabiki threw herself on her bed in a fit of frustration… She was annoyed at the guy for making her loose her control, but she seems attracted to him nonetheless… he was after all cute, with a disarming charming smile, if she didn't recover quickly she probably fawned over him!!!… The very thought disgusted her. She prides herself as a woman of rational thought, not some giddy high school girl… She laughed at the irony that her thoughts invoked… But her thoughts were simply relentless… Her head was filled by HIS image!!!… His gorgeous smile, his handsome face, his fit and muscular body, and those piercing blue eyes!!

"ARRRGGGHH!!!!" she yelled out in frustration…No she is NOT a love sick puppy!! She tried to stop the images that came to her head even the unwanted ones, the ones where she just let her mind run wild by imagining what would have happened if she let him touch her!!! She covered her head using her pillow and tried to muffle the screams of frustration that followed…

"That's it!! I give up!!" she cried out. She changed into her favourite short shorts and tank top before making a bee line towards the dojo… A little work out should calm herself down….

Kasumi was interrupted from her chores, by the noises coming from the dojo…

"That's strange… No ones home except me and Nabiki… Is Akane home already?" she asked herself… before deciding to see who was making such a commotion in the dojo…

Kasumi was a little taken aback by the sight that greeted her. There in the dojo was Nabiki, pummelling the living day lights out of the punching bag!! She knew her younger sister was a little bit more reserve than the youngest Akane but she never knew Nabiki had that much vigour!! Her father would be so proud!!! Deciding that her sister needs to be left by herself for now to calm down she decided to leave her but without telling her first.

"Nabiki-Chan?" She called out tentatively.

Nabiki didn't quite hear her sister until she called out to her for the third time. By then Nabiki felt herself somewhat relieved already as she stopped from her furious attack on the punching bag before turning her attention to Kasumi.

"Yes Oneechan?" she noticed that her sister was trying to hide the look of disbelief in her eyes but decided to ignore it… She now understands why her younger sister loved to train all the time, it feels so damn wonderful!!

"I'm going to Dr Tofu's for a little while to return a book I borrowed… Would you be alright by yourself?" Kasumi asked full of concern.

"Yeah I'll be fine. Go ahead and have some fun!" she responded teasingly… Honestly!, does she think that by leaving the house for a minute disaster will strike!! Its not like I will set the house on fire!!!…That's Akane!!! she thought to herself.

"Very well then, If you want something to eat, there's some food in the fridge but don't eat too much or you wont be able to eat dinner" she reminded her sister.

"Its Ok Oneechan, I'll be fine.. Go on ahead…" she said reassuringly.

Kasumi then left her sister, a bit happier and a lot more enthusiastically as she made her way towards Tofu's clinic. He's so cute if only he didn't clown around so much she thought.

Nabiki on the other hand continued her attack/assault on the poor punching bag. She was really getting a good work out and was finally calming down a little when she heard the phone ringing, since Kasumi had already left, she reluctantly left the dojo and answered the phone.

"Moshi- moshi, Tendo residence, Tendo Nabiki speaking, how may I help you?" she asked rather formally… She hoped its not one of her younger sister's, Akane's would be suitors.

"Hello Nab-Chan?" asked the voice in the other line…

Nabiki considerably cheered up hearing her best friend's voice in the other line. She made her way to the lounge already anticipating a lengthy conversation that will surely follow. After making herself comfortable she resumed talking to her best friend.

"Hello Nab-Chan are you there?" asked the voice in the other line. She was somewhat frustrated that her friend isn't answering her.

"Yes Kodachi I'm here, whats up?, sorry had to make myself comfortable first (giggles), so how was your holiday to Hawaii?" she asked flippantly while twirling the phone cord with her fingers.

"Figures" Kodachi teased, she really did miss her best friend.

They have been friends since they were small. Their mothers used to take them to the same park to play in when they were about 5 years old. She got along with Nabiki quite well, especially when they team up to tease Kodachi's older brother Tatewaki who was the same age as Nabiki. It became like a daily ritual for them to meet up with each other at the park especially when their mothers had become quite good friends. Kodachi admits that due to her mother's bloodline, her mother tends to look down on everyone else who she doesn't deem to be worthy of their presence. Needless to say, this left her mother without much friends. But Nabiki's mother seemed to have struck a cord on Kodachi's mother, which allowed them to be friends.

She then had to fight the tears that was trying to reign free from her eyes. She and Nabiki had been through a lot. They both lost their mothers at an early age. Nabiki lost her mother when she was only 7 years old from cancer and left her utterly devastated. Nabiki became almost a mere shadow of her former self. She had become almost cold and untouchable. She didn't want to speak to anyone and was always by herself. Kodachi tried to reach out to her but failed. It wasn't until a year later when Kodachi's own mother died from a car accident that snapped Nabiki out of her isolation. Nabiki then began to comfort Kodachi but was still not willing to open herself out to her. Not only was Nabiki a great comfort to her but she also comforted her older brother Tatewaki. She also took Nabiki's advice to get professional counselling.

If there was one regret that Kodachi has over their friendship, it was introducing Nabiki to Kinnusuke Misaki. It was quite clear that Kinnusuke was no good for Nabiki. But Nabiki fell head over heels for him. Kinnusuke was one of the high socialite blue bloods in Nerima. He is also one of the most desired males in Nerima because of his social stature and a real Casanova. Unfortunately he was also a blue blooded snob, who constantly put Nabiki down because of her status. It made matters worst when Kinnusuke dumped Nabiki for someone else, due to his parents interference. Kodachi hated their social functions and had stopped attending after hearing the Misaki's talked about her best friend's low born status as if she was a plague or a disgusting disease.

Nabiki obviously wasn't over it, she was going out with him for almost over a year after all… She cared for Kinnusuke… but hated the fact that they couldn't be together because she wasn't born with nobility. With her pride hurt, Nabiki has once again retreated to her shell and erected a wall of ice around her. If Kinnusuke thought she was only after him because of his money and stature then so be it. Nabiki was determined to make guys like Kinnusuke pay, by leading them on and leaving them like a discarded paper. Kodachi felt sorry for Nabiki and held herself a little responsible for how she viewed guys but she felt there was a deeper truth to why Nabiki acts this way than she leads on. All she could be thankful for was at least she wasn't as bad as her younger sister Akane….

Akane on the other hand was going through her tomboy phase then, but after seeing how miserable Nabiki was after Kinnusuke broke up with her, has fuelled her anger and hatred even more. She also heard the various stories and gossip of how guys treat girls. To her all boys are perverts. She also became biased and have a an obscure notion of how everything works. Like Kodachi's and Nabiki's friendship. Akane never got along with Kodachi thinking she was a rich snob while Kodachi though of her as a spoiled brat. But nonetheless, Akane have a kind and soft heart. She was more emotional while Nabiki was more rational. Sometimes Akane's feelings just get the best of her, and that includes her quick temper.

Nabiki was already in deep conversation with Kodachi when she heard her younger sister come home.

"Tadaima! Where is everybody?" Akane asked Nabiki.

Nabiki covered the mouth piece still listening to Kodachi's stories as she talked to her sister.

"Daddy is still at work while Kasumi went to see Dr Tofu to return one of his books" Nabiki answered her sister while giving her an annoyed look. She just hates it when she gets interrupted talking on the phone.

Meanwhile Akane was slightly frowned, when she heard where her Oneechan had gone, but considerably brightened up when a thought entered her mind!!

"Really? That means she'll be gone for a while! I might as well start dinner!" She then rushed up to her room to get changed.

Nabiki in the other hand shrugged it off until it dawned to her what her younger sister have said.

"Hey Dachi, I better go" she said , as chills went down her spine.

"How come?" Kodachi asked in the other line, rather annoyed that their conversation was cut short even thought they had been talking for almost 2hrs now.

"Have to distract Akane before she destroys us all" she said evenly, not sure if she actually meant it or was joking around.

"Oh! Your sister will be cooking tonight aye?" Kodachi smirked. She has heard stories about Akane's gruesome cooking skills. Nabiki even insisted that poison tasted better. And at one time she swore that one of her co called dishes came to life!!. This made Kodachi snicker. Nabiki was surely just jesting.

"Not if I can help it!!" She answered determinedly, all she has to do is keep her sister distracted long enough for Kasumi to get home… Akane is very sensitive when it comes to criticisms, actually when you think about it she doesn't take criticisms very lightly!!!

"Talk to you later bye!!" she said hastily, after making sure she didn't hang-up on Kodachi rudely, she then started heading towards Akane's room, thinking of a way to distract her sister… All the while thinking to herself…THIS IS JUST NOT MY DAY!!

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Bet you didn't expect that did you?…lol… Nabiki having a violent tendency, Kodachi as her best friend and Soun having a job!!!…lol… what is this world coming to??? Just a little taste of whats to come!!! More wackiness continues as everything comes together on their first day of school!!!
