Now over to the good stuff or whatever:...
Chapter 2
It had gone a week since she first had approached Ranma for his help and she now knew that the blasted spell still had a hold on her. It had begun to build slowly the first days after her first release but she had soon helped it build again. It was a distracting feeling to say the least.
She also knew now that she should not try to get rid of the feelings with her own two hands. It only made it worse. Now her head felt like someone had installed a scrambler in it and she had problems concentrating on the easiest of tasks. Resigned to the inevitable, she grinded her teeth together and knocked on Ranma´s door.
"It's open." She heard him call and opened the door.
"Ranma?" she was surprised as she saw him reading a BOOK! For all that she knew study was not one of Ranma´s top of to do things. Especially not on a Saturday.
"Yes Nabiki?" he didn't even look up from it. What could be so important in that book that he didn't even want a break from it?
"I... I need your help again" This time he did look up on her with a concerned look that almost made Nabiki gasp. Could he really care about her, she thought, even after all I have done to him. She looked down on the floor suddenly to ashamed to look in his eyes. "Its back" she said with a low voice.
"You mean that Lust spell didn't disappear after we... ah" he blushed as red as his female sides hair.
"No and it almost seems stronger"
"Stronger? I would have thought that it would take as long to build up as the first time" he said and got a thoughtful look that almost made Nabiki laugh. It wasn't often that he really put his grey matter to use for something other than Martial Arts.
"I don't know how magic works so anything is possible" and it wasn't like she was up to the task to figure out how it worked at the moment. Or anything else for that matter.
"Yeah I guess" Ranma muttered and glanced at the book he had read.
"Could you please help me again? I just finished my home work and it took me more than two hours longer than usual." she said with a puppy dog look.
"I... a... sure." the book he had in his hands disappeared somewhere that she would like to know. That was one trick that always made her hands itch when she saw it. It amazed her when she thought about it. It was probably Mousse technique and that meant that he had learned it by just looking at it being performed. If he really had done that, it probably meant that he knew most of the techniques that had ever been used against him. If he just could show that kind of mental prowess in other areas than just Martial arts he would be more than a good catch.
She blushed hard as she led him back to her room. She couldn't believe that she had just thought that. That blasted spell must have done more to her thinking than just turning up her arousal to max. Sure he was really nice on the eye, she had some problems during the week when they had been trained together. She was just lucky that he thought her distraction were about something else and not her ogling his sweaty body. She could make a whole lot of money if she just could get him into the model business. In both forms.
Ranma locked the door behind him and turned his back to her when she began to peel of her shorts. She got a flush of pride as she saw how red he became when he got a glimpse of her hips.
"Come on Ranma. Get this over with." with a grunt of agreement he turned around and kneeled beside her bed. It felt real nice to have someone kneeling besides her just waiting to servicing her. With a smile of mischief she pulled on his hands and guided them to her breasts. After a few seconds groping Ranma snatched his hands away like he was burned.
"Nabiki!" he hissed. "I don't need to do anything to the flows there."
"But your hands feels so good." she said with a wicked smile that he unfortunately missed due to closed eyes.
"Nabiki!" his voice was a little strained. Did he have problems with his own technique? Maybe she could have a little more fun with him.
"Come on Ranma, you have touched more private parts than that. And it's not like you don't know how to play with these, right?"
"Nabiki!" this time his voice cracked. "You damn well know that I don't do anything like that."
"No I don't know Ranma and all that denial just scream that you really do. I can't keep tabs on you all the time, even if I try" she smiled to herself as she looked at the rather nice red color Ranma´s face now sported. "Now go to work on that spell" even if she enjoyed teasing him, she had enough of the heat her body was generating. If it continued like this she felt like she was going to burn up. Just the contact of his hand on her flesh was soothing as he pushed his chi into her and began to smooth out the flows she felt the heat turn to something more pleasurable. She felt her arousal climb to dangerous levels and when she felt him ease the last block away something snapped in her mind.
She couldn't for the life of her remember exactly what she had done the next hour. The only thing that came to mind, were the ecstasy that filled her and flashes of a scared shitless Ranma.

Nabiki felt marvelous when she awoke and was lazy lying in her bed when Kasumi announced that dinner would be ready in a few minutes. She just couldn't find the energy to hurry as she put on a robe and walked to the Furo. There were a slight pain in her lower body parts but she put that aside as something that had happened when Ranma smoothed out her Ki flows.
Dinner was an interesting moment as Ranma was beet red and looked like he was awaiting Armageddon. Well he almost always looked like that, but this time he was stealing looks of Nabiki during the whole dinner.
Nabiki was still on cloud nine and didn't really care about the rest around the table. She ate with a gusto that would have made Genma proud if it was him that had trained her. Now he was slightly miffed as she was somehow stealing food from him as he was attacking his son's plate and he just couldn't find out how she did it.
Ranma visibly relaxed when she stood and thanked Kasumi for the excellent meal and retreated to her room. This was noted by Akane who demanded to know what had happened. His hesitation to say just what had happened before dinner earned him a miffed expression that almost made him wish for an involuntary dip in the koi pond. Somehow an indifferent response was even worse than a physical one.
Nabiki lay in her bed and just enjoyed the feelings that rushed through her body. She had not even felt this relaxed last time he eased the spell for her. She just had to get something to pay him with. Maybe she could write off his debts or something. He would probably like that, a few extra yen for a present for Akane would not do him wrong.
A stab of something flashed through her as she thought about that possibility. Why would she feel something when she thought about the two of them together? She buried the thought quickly and tried to find something else to pay him with. She needed the money more than Akane needed a gift after all.
Not long after that she fell asleep, her dreams were filled with things that she wanted more than money. Sadly she wouldn't remember a thing about them when she awoke.
---
The next week that went by gave Ranma some time to breath. The fiancées seemed to notice that he didn't want to be disturbed by his actions the last couple of weeks and left him alone most of the time. He was almost freaked out by Akane as she seemed to cut down on her insults towards him, but it changed with almost a breath of relief when she made him lunch on the Tuesday. He just didn't know how to handle her without her throwing insults his way, even if it was kinda nice. Even the guys were somewhat absent and didn't make more than a few appearances and then only made moderate collateral damage.
Ranma´s senses were still going high wire and he was looking more paranoid than ten people together. He moved around with the greatest care, but it didn't help him as he was blind sided more than once.
Nabiki seemed to be a little nicer to him during school hours and she didn't make his wallet lighter every chance she got. That to didn't help him feel at ease, he just knew that it would be looked at the wrong way. It never was something innocent when Ranma Saotome was involved right?
That he looked like a death squad was hunting him in the area when she was around did have a slightly negative effect on Nabiki´s good mood towards him. She just couldn't figure out what his problem was. She still trained with him every evening, to everyone else's amazement. She was pushing hard to get to a level where she could harness her chi and learned some techniques on her own. Depending on others had never been her thing and if that meant to learn Martial Arts, then so be it.
As school was over, Ranma disappeared. This was not welcomed by a few people and of course welcomed by others. The fiancée squad chase was not as fierce this week and Nabiki´s smile wasn't as huge as she stood at the gates to Furinkan and sold information on the wayward Ranma. Her good mood was even more reduced as she couldn't find who had put the damn spell on her. That frustrated her to no end but she knew that it was just a matter of time before she would know.
Ranma at least tried to disappear. More often than not he used the Umisenken and retreated to the library. He found that the usual craziness didn't follow him into there and he could get a few hours of peace and quiet.
It was the books of magic that drew his attention in the musty old corner. They told him of techniques to build up your connection with the all and how to wield the flows of mana to do your bidding. At least that was what he could figure out that the texts were about. The really sad part was that the books were written in a language that was believed to be long dead.
If he could understand one of the books right, one of those he actually could read. The books that were filled with runes would be readable when he made it to a certain level in his knowledge about magic. It was this about knowledge that was a little vague.
It didn't say if it was about magical or general knowledge. If it was general he would soon be able to read something in one of the books he thought. He tried to have his face in a book whenever he had a few minutes over. If on the other hand it was magical knowledge he would be in trouble. There were very little about magic that was know in the modern world that he could learn for free and get him to the next level in the books.
As he picked his way through the books about magic in the mystic section he found he could read a little in a book here and a little in a book there. This at long last made something that he could work with. Even if it was a heck of a job to look through all the books again when he had read a page.
Magic was described almost as a living entity. There was a language for it which you could use to command the energy to do what you wanted. This was the easiest way to use magic and was described in more than one book how it could be used. Using this way of magic was on the other hand time demanding. You could use chants to form the energy in almost any form you wanted and there were hundreds of prescribed chants in the books. At least that was the gist of what he could read.
Potion magic on the other hand he found a lot of information about pretty quickly. It even helped him open up new sections in the books for him. It was nothing really magical about brewing potions, it was more knowing the properties of the ingredients. Put that and that together with that and that and you will get this. Almost anyway.
There were laws here to, which made it dangerous to mix some ingredients when you didn't know their properties. You could make some toxic fumes, poisons or love potions if you didn't know what you were doing. There were big warnings about the love potions, those were really dangerous stuff. Ranma read about this mainly because he was interested about how to defend himself from this. He had been under the influence of potions all too many times and if he could find something to negate those he would be a very happy camper.
Rune magic was another powerful type of magic. Basically you carved a Rune or Glyph in whatever you wanted and powered it up with your magic during the process. It was a time consuming and hard work to fuel the rune or glyph with mana. The end result was an enchanted item or powerful ward. On the higher levels you could make magical reserve pools that you could draw mana from in a pinch when your own ability to draw in from your surroundings weren't fast enough. This type had its used Ranma mused as he read about armors and weapons bestowed with powerful runes. But as with all the other types of magic, you had to be quite powerful before you were able to do anything really useful.
And there was the silent magic. It was a pretty rigid and energy draining form of mana manipulation, but it was the most used form of them. You used your own mind to form the mana into something you wanted, and then you pushed the mana through thought constructs that activated the magic. Those constructs were often a glyph or rune that the user associated with the result he wanted. To minimize mana waste there were often a verbal trigger to release the magical energies from the thought constructs. Depending on how good you were on visualizing this in your head you could be pretty awful fast with it.
All those types of magic build on the user's knowledge. Ranma found out with a deep sigh that it all depended on mostly magical but also to a certain degree general knowledge. If you didn't know how electricity worked how were you ever supposed to get a lightning bolt off? If you didn't know about the combustion of matter how did you think you would get a fireball to explode upon impact? And a little more advanced. If you didn't know how the planets interacted with the sun, how were you ever being able to get a levitation spell to work? This only meant that he couldn't slack of in school again. If he did, then there might be some powerful magic that he couldn't understand later on because he lacked the knowledge about how it worked none magically.
The more he learned about magic the more of the runes and glyphs covered pages in the books he understood. This of course was explained in the earlier chapters in the books he had found in the library. The books in themselves were magical constructs that taught the student about magic. The more you knew the more advanced information you were allowed to learn. The more he read the bigger headache Ranma got. From what he could understand the magicians that left the books after their passing had been more theoretical advanced than the current civilization. Or they had never thought about using it in machines. Who needed them when you could get everything you wanted with magic? No wonder whole civilizations collapsed when magicians died and what he knew disappeared with him.
Ranma closed the book he was reading and rubbed his temples. If he understood this right he could make a tiny little light appear in front of him. He had to try that tomorrow. Right now he had to hurry, it was time for another of Nabiki and his Martial Arts lessons.
---
Nabiki was almost frantic, it had gone a week again and the feelings she had were almost overwhelming. And this was a worst case scenario, she had waited to long and couldn't find Ranma. She had to fight herself just to act aloof as was her usual behavior. A glimmer of hope was lit when she found Kasumi prepare dinner in the kitchen.
"Sis do you know where Ranma is?" she was proud of herself she manage to hold all of here panic out of her voice.
"Well yes. He said he had some things to take care of in Juuban"
"Juuban? What would he do there?" did her voice crack? No she had managed to control it.
"He didn't tell me. Why don't you ask him when he returns? He said he would be back late tonight"
"Late?" she almost squeaked
"Of course it takes a while to go there and back. Was it something important you wanted him for?"
"No, nothing important at all" it sounded lame even to her.
"Ok, dinner is ready in an hour. I call you then"
"Ok sis, thanks for the info" Nabiki had to steel herself as she walked back to her room. It was so damn hard to concentrate and he would not be back in hours! She couldn't believe herself she actually wanted him to put his hands on her again. Just a couple of weeks ago that had just been a little wet dream she had now and then, but nothing she actually wanted him to do. She managed to hold back the blush until she was in her room. Just looking at her bed brought back memories that made the fires rise even higher than they were. She sat down by her desk and began to look trough her ledgers again. She just had to do something to get her mind of Ranma and those fires that raged in her loins.
---
Ranma meanwhile was gorging himself with new books. He had found fifteen books in Juubans four libraries. He was almost ecstatic, he would have been if he didn't already understand the first half in most of them.
The major part of the first half of the books was about the principles of magic. This was all fine with Ranma. The infuriating part about this was that you had to have about ten books just to make something out of it. If you read a page in one book it didn't mean that you could continue to read the next. First you had to have a complete understanding of exactly what it was you had read. And of course this didn't mean that the next page was about the same thing that was on the previous page. You had to find the next little glimpse of information in another book. If you were lucky you could get a page that made a few things fall in place and unlock more than one page in another of the books, but then again you had to find just which book that was.
He took out the course to the Tendo dojo and began to roof hop his way there. While he did this he began to read one of the new books and do a simple Kata. No sense to hold back when no one he knew didn't see him.
---
The dinner had been a test in self control for Nabiki. Her body was dead set on distracting her all the time and she had big problems to follow what little conversation there was around the table.
She sat staring out her window while her body wrecked havoc with her mind. She was so aroused that she shook in the chair. The movement meant that her clothes was dragged over sensitive spots like her nipples or shudder lower erogenous zones. It wasn't pleasure anymore, it was pure torture. She couldn't even get herself to undress.
She heard the door open and close behind her.
"You ok Nabs?" she heard Ranma´s concerned voice asks. "Kasumi said you had asked for me earlier and that you were kind of out of it during dinner" She turned around and looked deeply into his eyes.
"I give you anything, just get this blasted spell out of my system." she saw the shock on Ranma´s face her meek voice gave him. She didn't really care at this point what he thought, she just wanted to be free from those feelings.
"Please?" she asked when she saw the look that came over his face. She could have sworn that it looked like a deer caught in the car lights.
"I... ah... sure." he seemed a little hesitant first and almost afraid as he crossed the distance between the door and her.
Nabiki didn't care when he used his amaguriken to take her clothes off. She wasn't that bothered by nudity anyway. Her own hands found their ways to play with her breasts as he began to run his hands on her abdomen and begin whatever he did. When his chi found its way into her and brushed the blocks away the world seemed to disappear again.
---
Ranma breathed heavily after the exertion and looked down on Nabiki´s face that lay on his chest. The first time she had attacked him he had been too scared to do anything in defense and had let her have her way with him. This time he had tried to fight back but had given up because he didn't know how she would react if the spell wasn't flushed from her system.
Whoever had cast that spell on Nabiki was going to pay big time when he was found out. He had been afraid that something like this would happen again as he help her out. He just had to talk to her in the morning. The way she acted, she had a right to know what exactly happened when he relived her tension.
He could understand that the sexual feelings were dammed up and rushed out when he pulled out the stops. He had some experience from that from the technique he used himself. But he didn't think that Nabiki was this aggressive in normal situations. He didn't have that much to go on, as she was never on a date. Everyone was afraid of the mercenary middle Tendo but there were always someone out there that looked a little deeper than the surface right? She couldn't have that much problems finding someone who could ask her out. He could feel her loneliness every time he looked into her eyes, it was almost as strong as his.
He moved her as gently as he could from his chest and pulled the blankets around her. Small sounds of protests rouse from her and he breathed out in relief. He had to use a pressure point to not let her wake up the whole house as she screamed in pleasure earlier. He wasn't sure about that particular pressure point and had hoped that it didn't need another to cancel it out.
Collecting his clothes proved to be a problem as he had to look for most of them around the room. She had been... enthusiastic when she pulled them of him. With a last look at her glowingly happy face he jumped out of her window. A quick dip in the koi pond hid most of the smell on him and he had an excuse for a late visit to the Furo.
---
He knew the knock on the door would come before it was heard. Ranma had become so in sync with the Wa of the house that he had a vague felling about where everybody was at all times. He had felt Nabiki rise from her bed and wander around her room, probably getting dressed, before walking to his and his father's room.
"Its open" he said at the same time as her knuckles made contact with the wood of the frame.
"Umm... we need to talk about last night, what exactly happened?" she asked as soon she had closed the door. Then she took another look on what he was doing. He stood on his hands, feet's in the air, doing push-ups while reading a book. It was slightly unnerving how easy he made it look like.
"You wondering what happened after you blacked out?" he said with a nervous look on his face.
"Yeah that. I remember the first time fine. But the last two is kind of cut short. But I still feel that wonderful feeling afterward." she said and stretched out her full form. This made Ranma drop to the floor face first into the book.
"Err I really don't know how to explain this." he said with a huge blush and looked down on the floor.
"Explain what?" Nabiki wondered with a frown. Ranma couldn't help but to reflect how cute that made her look. Especially as she left that cold out of her eyes.
"You don't have cameras in your own room do ya?" he wondered, trying to take the easy way out. Letting her know that he knew about them was small matter than to tell her what really happened.
"Do you think I would ask you what happened if I had?" she asked while trying to hide her surprise that he knew about her equipment in the house. While not as good as her hand held camera she could get some pretty good blackmail material from them on occasion. And some of the pictures she got had been pretty high sells to.
"I could always hope? Err this is not exactly easy to say Nabiki" he looked around the room, just anywhere was better than looking at Nabiki at the moment.
"Just spit it out Saotome." some of her usual coldness crawled back into her voice and it did irritate her how he moved his head around.
"Well I think it's a little like the N..N.Neko-ken." he began carefully and settled at staring at the floor.
"Neko-ken? What exactly are you talking about?"
"When I pulled out the blocks from you're dammed up feelings they kind of took over from there."
"That may be a possibility. And?" a quick look and Ranma could see the anger begin to build in Nabiki´s eyes, which was not a good sign.
"Well because they were err sexual feelings they wanted to do what err... you know what they are made for."
"And that would be?" one of her feet began to drum impatiently on the floor.
"Procreation." he said in a low voice.
"WHAT?" the awaited explosion did not disappoint him.
"Umm you know sex. Birds and bee talk. Man and woman in bed. I thought you had a little knowledge..."
"Shut up! You mean that when you flushed my system my body took over and slept with you?" he was actually impressed, she had managed to manifest a battle aura. Oh right, that was not good in this situation.
"Yeah." he breathed and waited for the inevitable object to hit him.
"And what did you do? Just let things happen?" he was fairly certain that she would have screeched if she didn't want to draw attention to this particular conversation in the house. It didn't matter her tone made it sound to him that she did it anyway.
"Of course not, Nabiki. But I didn't want to hurt you and I didn't know what could go wrong if I didn't finish the flushing." he said with a burning face.
"Did this happen the second time to?" he aura was beginning fray some of the more flammable things around her.
"Yeah."
"Idiot! Why didn't you tell me the first time?" ok now he was impressed. Anyone else and he would have been strangled, punched, kicked and incinerated by now. Were she really one of Akane´s sisters?
"Don't you think you can answer that question on your own? As much as I hate how my life is now, I really like to be alive" this made Nabiki back a step when Ranma looked up and into her eyes. She remembered how he had acted after the second time and how he had jumped every time she had as much as looked in his direction. "I didn't know after the second time if you were in control or not. It wasn't like I was going to ask you about it either" the hurt that he showed made her heart do, despite the anger she felt for him at the moment, some funny things in her chest.
"So you want to blame the spell?" little of her anger had bled of but she still wanted something tangible she could punish for this.
"If I wanted to have an excuse yes. I really didn't want to hurt you Nabiki and I didn't know what would happen if I knocked you out" there were something in his eyes that she had seen before, but never in her direction.
"But knock me up was ok?" her anger was coming back in full force.
"Huh wha?"
"You do know how babies are made right?" she wondered with blazing eyes. Ranma looked at her with a blank look for a moment before he lost all the color from his face. "Good you're not a complete moron. I thought you would have some idea about it when you talked about procreation" she heaved a heavy sigh. "We can only hope that we were lucky. Not every intercourse means conception, even if the dates have been bad" Ranma just sat before her on the floor with his mouth hanging loose. This could be bad, really bad.
"I really hope for your own sake that it was the spell that made me jump you. I know that you are not one to take advantage of the situation and that is your only saving grace at the moment. But next time there will be a camera." she still wanted to have something to smash. She could understand her sisters feeling now, as smashing a few bricks didn't sound like a bad idea.
"Next time?" he wondered, still with a faraway look.
"You didn't manage to break the spell the first two times. Do you really think this would be any different?"
"No, as you said. I don't know either how this spell works."
"Right. Now how about we go and spar. I have this need to punch on something."
"Err ok." Ranma was leery to follow the enrage girl to the Dojo. He had a feeling this would be one of those painful sessions.
---
Lunch was a time for silent fuming it seemed. Akane fumed because she thought Ranma and Nabiki looked like they were planning Armageddon and would lay the blame on her. Nabiki fumed because she still had not found out who had cast the spell and Ranma´s little revelation didn't sit well with her. The sparring took of the part where she needed to smash something to pieces, but she still needed a perpetrator for the deed.
The fathers fumed. Or at least, the sake from last night fumed from them. What the occasion for the drinking binge was this time, Ranma would never learn. But apparently there had been a need for vast amount of it.
Ranma fumed, or rather the hot water Kasumi had given him fumed.
Kasumi on the other hand was her usual tranquil and calm counterweight. She took a look over the people around the table and sighed inwardly. If someone in this group wouldn't grow up soon she would never leave this house. She learned a lot from Dr Tofu's books but they were beginning to loose their teaching value for her. She felt that she had been held back and stiffeled long enough in this house and now it was soon time for her to do something more.
Until then it was just to continue to keep the Wa of the house as balanced as possible.
---
"What is that you are reading?" Nabiki wondered from the open door. It was just after lunch and Ranma had for once managed to get away from the table on his own and not by an item branded by Akane.
"This? It's like a school book about magic." he was at the moment doing sit-ups while he held the book in front of his face. Nabiki couldn't understand how he managed to concentrate on the text while he exercised, but if it worked for him she wouldn't complain.
"School book for magic? Wherever did you pick that up?" her voice was thick with sarcasm.
"Believe it or not, at the library."
"You managed to find a book about magic at the library?"
"Yeah. I couldn't believe it either." Nabiki shook her head and looked the book over as it swished by her head.
"You mean that you can actually read that?" she wondered after looking over the glyphs and runes on the pages.
"Yeah, on those two pages at least."
"Those two pages?" she didn't really understand his explanation. How could he only understand two pages in a book? He stopped his sit-ups and pulled out another book which he laid down in front of Nabiki.
"Here take a look. Tell me if there is any page that you can read." Nabiki decided to humor him and opened the book. She wasn't terrible surprised when all she could find were those runes and glyphs.
"Just those strange symbols Saotome. Now tell me what this is about."
What happened then almost blew Nabiki away. Ranma sat down beside her and began a lecture about what stood on the page and what magic was all about. What he said actually made sense so she didn't think that he made it up on the spot to have a little fun with her.
"Well that's the gist of how you get magic to work for yourself. But I can't find that spell that was cast on you." he said with a heavy sigh.
"You're looking for a cure for me?" she asked a little shocked. Sure Ranma always looked for something so he could help those around him that were in need. But that he actually went so far as to trying to learn magic just to help her break the spell was almost mind-blowing.
"Well, err... yeah." Nabiki had a hard time suppressing the blush that crawled up in her face. She couldn't believe how much that comment affected her. It was at this moment that her little sister stormed into the room.
"What are you two doing?" she demanded to know.
"We are talking about magic" Ranma said as fast as he could. Akane on the other hand chose not to hear him and used her superior deduction ability as she saw the two of them blushing when she entered the room.
"You two timing BAKA! And with my own sister to boot!" not long after that Ranma was sailing out the window to get a bath in the koi pond.
"Now why exactly did you do that Sis?" Nabiki wondered and looked at Akane. "He did tell you the truth."
"He did? Well he did probably earn it anyway, he has been gone every night the last tree weeks and has probably been with his other floozies."
"I just can't seem to understand you sometimes Sis." Nabiki said and shook her head. "You know how much he wants to get rid of his curse and now he has actually began to study magic to do it." well that was a stretch of the truth but she didn't think she was all that wrong.
"Hah! That just something that he is saying to get on your good side. I don't want to think what the pervert does with his girl side." she said with a shiver.
"Let me ask you something Sis. Do you love him?" the question did take Akane completely of guard so she answered like she usually did.
"That Baka? No way, he could just go away and rot for all that I care." she huffed. Nabiki could see in her eyes that she didn't speak the truth.
"Well, if that's how you feel you are going to loose him." this time a little bit uncertainty got into Akane´s eyes.
"With the engagement I don't think that will be anytime soon." She said and stomped out of the room, this made her miss the deadly look her sister sent her way.

Authors Notes: Hi everyone. Don't know what to say really the chapters often writes themselves when Im sitting down typing. I'm not really all that happy about how this chapter panned out but it has some little explanations in it that I have to leave in.
A big Thank you to all the happy people who have sent reviews.
The lemon bit was somehow overlooked when I edited for the last time. Let me tell you that there were a lot that needed editing in the later chapters. Damn dirty mind.
I really hope that I don't scare people away when I have put this up as a Sailor Moon cross. I actually think that I have an original idea about it and they will not interfere too much with the rest of the Ranma crew. Well not too much anyway. On the other hand they are just beginning to pop up in the rougher draft of some later chapters so I still have time to chop them out.
Once again Tank you for the reviews and keep them coming.
Until next time thanks for reading -Ovis Musimon 2004
A Ranma½/Sailor Moon/Others crossover

Now over to the good stuff or whatever:...
Chapter 2
It had gone a week since she first had approached Ranma for his help and she now knew that the blasted spell still had a hold on her. It had begun to build slowly the first days after her first release but she had soon helped it build again. It was a distracting feeling to say the least.
She also knew now that she should not try to get rid of the feelings with her own two hands. It only made it worse. Now her head felt like someone had installed a scrambler in it and she had problems concentrating on the easiest of tasks. Resigned to the inevitable, she grinded her teeth together and knocked on Ranma´s door.
"It's open." She heard him call and opened the door.
"Ranma?" she was surprised as she saw him reading a BOOK! For all that she knew study was not one of Ranma´s top of to do things. Especially not on a Saturday.
"Yes Nabiki?" he didn't even look up from it. What could be so important in that book that he didn't even want a break from it?
"I... I need your help again" This time he did look up on her with a concerned look that almost made Nabiki gasp. Could he really care about her, she thought, even after all I have done to him. She looked down on the floor suddenly to ashamed to look in his eyes. "Its back" she said with a low voice.
"You mean that Lust spell didn't disappear after we... ah" he blushed as red as his female sides hair.
"No and it almost seems stronger"
"Stronger? I would have thought that it would take as long to build up as the first time" he said and got a thoughtful look that almost made Nabiki laugh. It wasn't often that he really put his grey matter to use for something other than Martial Arts.
"I don't know how magic works so anything is possible" and it wasn't like she was up to the task to figure out how it worked at the moment. Or anything else for that matter.
"Yeah I guess" Ranma muttered and glanced at the book he had read.
"Could you please help me again? I just finished my home work and it took me more than two hours longer than usual." she said with a puppy dog look.
"I... a... sure." the book he had in his hands disappeared somewhere that she would like to know. That was one trick that always made her hands itch when she saw it. It amazed her when she thought about it. It was probably Mousse technique and that meant that he had learned it by just looking at it being performed. If he really had done that, it probably meant that he knew most of the techniques that had ever been used against him. If he just could show that kind of mental prowess in other areas than just Martial arts he would be more than a good catch.
She blushed hard as she led him back to her room. She couldn't believe that she had just thought that. That blasted spell must have done more to her thinking than just turning up her arousal to max. Sure he was really nice on the eye, she had some problems during the week when they had been trained together. She was just lucky that he thought her distraction were about something else and not her ogling his sweaty body. She could make a whole lot of money if she just could get him into the model business. In both forms.
Ranma locked the door behind him and turned his back to her when she began to peel of her shorts. She got a flush of pride as she saw how red he became when he got a glimpse of her hips.
"Come on Ranma. Get this over with." with a grunt of agreement he turned around and kneeled beside her bed. It felt real nice to have someone kneeling besides her just waiting to servicing her. With a smile of mischief she pulled on his hands and guided them to her breasts. After a few seconds groping Ranma snatched his hands away like he was burned.
"Nabiki!" he hissed. "I don't need to do anything to the flows there."
"But your hands feels so good." she said with a wicked smile that he unfortunately missed due to closed eyes.
"Nabiki!" his voice was a little strained. Did he have problems with his own technique? Maybe she could have a little more fun with him.
"Come on Ranma, you have touched more private parts than that. And it's not like you don't know how to play with these, right?"
"Nabiki!" this time his voice cracked. "You damn well know that I don't do anything like that."
"No I don't know Ranma and all that denial just scream that you really do. I can't keep tabs on you all the time, even if I try" she smiled to herself as she looked at the rather nice red color Ranma´s face now sported. "Now go to work on that spell" even if she enjoyed teasing him, she had enough of the heat her body was generating. If it continued like this she felt like she was going to burn up. Just the contact of his hand on her flesh was soothing as he pushed his chi into her and began to smooth out the flows she felt the heat turn to something more pleasurable. She felt her arousal climb to dangerous levels and when she felt him ease the last block away something snapped in her mind.
She couldn't for the life of her remember exactly what she had done the next hour. The only thing that came to mind, were the ecstasy that filled her and flashes of a scared shitless Ranma.
---
Nabiki felt marvelous when she awoke and was lazy lying in her bed when Kasumi announced that dinner would be ready in a few minutes. She just couldn't find the energy to hurry as she put on a robe and walked to the Furo. There were a slight pain in her lower body parts but she put that aside as something that had happened when Ranma smoothed out her Ki flows.
Dinner was an interesting moment as Ranma was beet red and looked like he was awaiting Armageddon. Well he almost always looked like that, but this time he was stealing looks of Nabiki during the whole dinner.
Nabiki was still on cloud nine and didn't really care about the rest around the table. She ate with a gusto that would have made Genma proud if it was him that had trained her. Now he was slightly miffed as she was somehow stealing food from him as he was attacking his son's plate and he just couldn't find out how she did it.
Ranma visibly relaxed when she stood and thanked Kasumi for the excellent meal and retreated to her room. This was noted by Akane who demanded to know what had happened. His hesitation to say just what had happened before dinner earned him a miffed expression that almost made him wish for an involuntary dip in the koi pond. Somehow an indifferent response was even worse than a physical one.
Nabiki lay in her bed and just enjoyed the feelings that rushed through her body. She had not even felt this relaxed last time he eased the spell for her. She just had to get something to pay him with. Maybe she could write off his debts or something. He would probably like that, a few extra yen for a present for Akane would not do him wrong.
A stab of something flashed through her as she thought about that possibility. Why would she feel something when she thought about the two of them together? She buried the thought quickly and tried to find something else to pay him with. She needed the money more than Akane needed a gift after all.
Not long after that she fell asleep, her dreams were filled with things that she wanted more than money. Sadly she wouldn't remember a thing about them when she awoke.
---
The next week that went by gave Ranma some time to breath. The fiancées seemed to notice that he didn't want to be disturbed by his actions the last couple of weeks and left him alone most of the time. He was almost freaked out by Akane as she seemed to cut down on her insults towards him, but it changed with almost a breath of relief when she made him lunch on the Tuesday. He just didn't know how to handle her without her throwing insults his way, even if it was kinda nice. Even the guys were somewhat absent and didn't make more than a few appearances and then only made moderate collateral damage.
Ranma´s senses were still going high wire and he was looking more paranoid than ten people together. He moved around with the greatest care, but it didn't help him as he was blind sided more than once.
Nabiki seemed to be a little nicer to him during school hours and she didn't make his wallet lighter every chance she got. That to didn't help him feel at ease, he just knew that it would be looked at the wrong way. It never was something innocent when Ranma Saotome was involved right?
That he looked like a death squad was hunting him in the area when she was around did have a slightly negative effect on Nabiki´s good mood towards him. She just couldn't figure out what his problem was. She still trained with him every evening, to everyone else's amazement. She was pushing hard to get to a level where she could harness her chi and learned some techniques on her own. Depending on others had never been her thing and if that meant to learn Martial Arts, then so be it.
As school was over, Ranma disappeared. This was not welcomed by a few people and of course welcomed by others. The fiancée squad chase was not as fierce this week and Nabiki´s smile wasn't as huge as she stood at the gates to Furinkan and sold information on the wayward Ranma. Her good mood was even more reduced as she couldn't find who had put the damn spell on her. That frustrated her to no end but she knew that it was just a matter of time before she would know.
Ranma at least tried to disappear. More often than not he used the Umisenken and retreated to the library. He found that the usual craziness didn't follow him into there and he could get a few hours of peace and quiet.
It was the books of magic that drew his attention in the musty old corner. They told him of techniques to build up your connection with the all and how to wield the flows of mana to do your bidding. At least that was what he could figure out that the texts were about. The really sad part was that the books were written in a language that was believed to be long dead.
If he could understand one of the books right, one of those he actually could read. The books that were filled with runes would be readable when he made it to a certain level in his knowledge about magic. It was this about knowledge that was a little vague.
It didn't say if it was about magical or general knowledge. If it was general he would soon be able to read something in one of the books he thought. He tried to have his face in a book whenever he had a few minutes over. If on the other hand it was magical knowledge he would be in trouble. There were very little about magic that was know in the modern world that he could learn for free and get him to the next level in the books.
As he picked his way through the books about magic in the mystic section he found he could read a little in a book here and a little in a book there. This at long last made something that he could work with. Even if it was a heck of a job to look through all the books again when he had read a page.
Magic was described almost as a living entity. There was a language for it which you could use to command the energy to do what you wanted. This was the easiest way to use magic and was described in more than one book how it could be used. Using this way of magic was on the other hand time demanding. You could use chants to form the energy in almost any form you wanted and there were hundreds of prescribed chants in the books. At least that was the gist of what he could read.
Potion magic on the other hand he found a lot of information about pretty quickly. It even helped him open up new sections in the books for him. It was nothing really magical about brewing potions, it was more knowing the properties of the ingredients. Put that and that together with that and that and you will get this. Almost anyway.
There were laws here to, which made it dangerous to mix some ingredients when you didn't know their properties. You could make some toxic fumes, poisons or love potions if you didn't know what you were doing. There were big warnings about the love potions, those were really dangerous stuff. Ranma read about this mainly because he was interested about how to defend himself from this. He had been under the influence of potions all too many times and if he could find something to negate those he would be a very happy camper.
Rune magic was another powerful type of magic. Basically you carved a Rune or Glyph in whatever you wanted and powered it up with your magic during the process. It was a time consuming and hard work to fuel the rune or glyph with mana. The end result was an enchanted item or powerful ward. On the higher levels you could make magical reserve pools that you could draw mana from in a pinch when your own ability to draw in from your surroundings weren't fast enough. This type had its used Ranma mused as he read about armors and weapons bestowed with powerful runes. But as with all the other types of magic, you had to be quite powerful before you were able to do anything really useful.
And there was the silent magic. It was a pretty rigid and energy draining form of mana manipulation, but it was the most used form of them. You used your own mind to form the mana into something you wanted, and then you pushed the mana through thought constructs that activated the magic. Those constructs were often a glyph or rune that the user associated with the result he wanted. To minimize mana waste there were often a verbal trigger to release the magical energies from the thought constructs. Depending on how good you were on visualizing this in your head you could be pretty awful fast with it.
All those types of magic build on the user's knowledge. Ranma found out with a deep sigh that it all depended on mostly magical but also to a certain degree general knowledge. If you didn't know how electricity worked how were you ever supposed to get a lightning bolt off? If you didn't know about the combustion of matter how did you think you would get a fireball to explode upon impact? And a little more advanced. If you didn't know how the planets interacted with the sun, how were you ever being able to get a levitation spell to work? This only meant that he couldn't slack of in school again. If he did, then there might be some powerful magic that he couldn't understand later on because he lacked the knowledge about how it worked none magically.
The more he learned about magic the more of the runes and glyphs covered pages in the books he understood. This of course was explained in the earlier chapters in the books he had found in the library. The books in themselves were magical constructs that taught the student about magic. The more you knew the more advanced information you were allowed to learn. The more he read the bigger headache Ranma got. From what he could understand the magicians that left the books after their passing had been more theoretical advanced than the current civilization. Or they had never thought about using it in machines. Who needed them when you could get everything you wanted with magic? No wonder whole civilizations collapsed when magicians died and what he knew disappeared with him.
Ranma closed the book he was reading and rubbed his temples. If he understood this right he could make a tiny little light appear in front of him. He had to try that tomorrow. Right now he had to hurry, it was time for another of Nabiki and his Martial Arts lessons.
---
Nabiki was almost frantic, it had gone a week again and the feelings she had were almost overwhelming. And this was a worst case scenario, she had waited to long and couldn't find Ranma. She had to fight herself just to act aloof as was her usual behavior. A glimmer of hope was lit when she found Kasumi prepare dinner in the kitchen.
"Sis do you know where Ranma is?" she was proud of herself she manage to hold all of here panic out of her voice.
"Well yes. He said he had some things to take care of in Juuban"
"Juuban? What would he do there?" did her voice crack? No she had managed to control it.
"He didn't tell me. Why don't you ask him when he returns? He said he would be back late tonight"
"Late?" she almost squeaked
"Of course it takes a while to go there and back. Was it something important you wanted him for?"
"No, nothing important at all" it sounded lame even to her.
"Ok, dinner is ready in an hour. I call you then"
"Ok sis, thanks for the info" Nabiki had to steel herself as she walked back to her room. It was so damn hard to concentrate and he would not be back in hours! She couldn't believe herself she actually wanted him to put his hands on her again. Just a couple of weeks ago that had just been a little wet dream she had now and then, but nothing she actually wanted him to do. She managed to hold back the blush until she was in her room. Just looking at her bed brought back memories that made the fires rise even higher than they were. She sat down by her desk and began to look trough her ledgers again. She just had to do something to get her mind of Ranma and those fires that raged in her loins.
---
Ranma meanwhile was gorging himself with new books. He had found fifteen books in Juubans four libraries. He was almost ecstatic, he would have been if he didn't already understand the first half in most of them.
The major part of the first half of the books was about the principles of magic. This was all fine with Ranma. The infuriating part about this was that you had to have about ten books just to make something out of it. If you read a page in one book it didn't mean that you could continue to read the next. First you had to have a complete understanding of exactly what it was you had read. And of course this didn't mean that the next page was about the same thing that was on the previous page. You had to find the next little glimpse of information in another book. If you were lucky you could get a page that made a few things fall in place and unlock more than one page in another of the books, but then again you had to find just which book that was.
He took out the course to the Tendo dojo and began to roof hop his way there. While he did this he began to read one of the new books and do a simple Kata. No sense to hold back when no one he knew didn't see him.
---
The dinner had been a test in self control for Nabiki. Her body was dead set on distracting her all the time and she had big problems to follow what little conversation there was around the table.
She sat staring out her window while her body wrecked havoc with her mind. She was so aroused that she shook in the chair. The movement meant that her clothes was dragged over sensitive spots like her nipples or shudder lower erogenous zones. It wasn't pleasure anymore, it was pure torture. She couldn't even get herself to undress.
She heard the door open and close behind her.
"You ok Nabs?" she heard Ranma´s concerned voice asks. "Kasumi said you had asked for me earlier and that you were kind of out of it during dinner" She turned around and looked deeply into his eyes.
"I give you anything, just get this blasted spell out of my system." she saw the shock on Ranma´s face her meek voice gave him. She didn't really care at this point what he thought, she just wanted to be free from those feelings.
"Please?" she asked when she saw the look that came over his face. She could have sworn that it looked like a deer caught in the car lights.
"I... ah... sure." he seemed a little hesitant first and almost afraid as he crossed the distance between the door and her.
Nabiki didn't care when he used his amaguriken to take her clothes off. She wasn't that bothered by nudity anyway. Her own hands found their ways to play with her breasts as he began to run his hands on her abdomen and begin whatever he did. When his chi found its way into her and brushed the blocks away the world seemed to disappear again.
---
Ranma breathed heavily after the exertion and looked down on Nabiki´s face that lay on his chest. The first time she had attacked him he had been too scared to do anything in defense and had let her have her way with him. This time he had tried to fight back but had given up because he didn't know how she would react if the spell wasn't flushed from her system.
Whoever had cast that spell on Nabiki was going to pay big time when he was found out. He had been afraid that something like this would happen again as he help her out. He just had to talk to her in the morning. The way she acted, she had a right to know what exactly happened when he relived her tension.
He could understand that the sexual feelings were dammed up and rushed out when he pulled out the stops. He had some experience from that from the technique he used himself. But he didn't think that Nabiki was this aggressive in normal situations. He didn't have that much to go on, as she was never on a date. Everyone was afraid of the mercenary middle Tendo but there were always someone out there that looked a little deeper than the surface right? She couldn't have that much problems finding someone who could ask her out. He could feel her loneliness every time he looked into her eyes, it was almost as strong as his.
He moved her as gently as he could from his chest and pulled the blankets around her. Small sounds of protests rouse from her and he breathed out in relief. He had to use a pressure point to not let her wake up the whole house as she screamed in pleasure earlier. He wasn't sure about that particular pressure point and had hoped that it didn't need another to cancel it out.
Collecting his clothes proved to be a problem as he had to look for most of them around the room. She had been... enthusiastic when she pulled them of him. With a last look at her glowingly happy face he jumped out of her window. A quick dip in the koi pond hid most of the smell on him and he had an excuse for a late visit to the Furo.
---
He knew the knock on the door would come before it was heard. Ranma had become so in sync with the Wa of the house that he had a vague felling about where everybody was at all times. He had felt Nabiki rise from her bed and wander around her room, probably getting dressed, before walking to his and his father's room.
"Its open" he said at the same time as her knuckles made contact with the wood of the frame.
"Umm... we need to talk about last night, what exactly happened?" she asked as soon she had closed the door. Then she took another look on what he was doing. He stood on his hands, feet's in the air, doing push-ups while reading a book. It was slightly unnerving how easy he made it look like.
"You wondering what happened after you blacked out?" he said with a nervous look on his face.
"Yeah that. I remember the first time fine. But the last two is kind of cut short. But I still feel that wonderful feeling afterward." she said and stretched out her full form. This made Ranma drop to the floor face first into the book.
"Err I really don't know how to explain this." he said with a huge blush and looked down on the floor.
"Explain what?" Nabiki wondered with a frown. Ranma couldn't help but to reflect how cute that made her look. Especially as she left that cold out of her eyes.
"You don't have cameras in your own room do ya?" he wondered, trying to take the easy way out. Letting her know that he knew about them was small matter than to tell her what really happened.
"Do you think I would ask you what happened if I had?" she asked while trying to hide her surprise that he knew about her equipment in the house. While not as good as her hand held camera she could get some pretty good blackmail material from them on occasion. And some of the pictures she got had been pretty high sells to.
"I could always hope? Err this is not exactly easy to say Nabiki" he looked around the room, just anywhere was better than looking at Nabiki at the moment.
"Just spit it out Saotome." some of her usual coldness crawled back into her voice and it did irritate her how he moved his head around.
"Well I think it's a little like the N..N.Neko-ken." he began carefully and settled at staring at the floor.
"Neko-ken? What exactly are you talking about?"
"When I pulled out the blocks from you're dammed up feelings they kind of took over from there."
"That may be a possibility. And?" a quick look and Ranma could see the anger begin to build in Nabiki´s eyes, which was not a good sign.
"Well because they were err sexual feelings they wanted to do what err... you know what they are made for."
"And that would be?" one of her feet began to drum impatiently on the floor.
"Procreation." he said in a low voice.
"WHAT?" the awaited explosion did not disappoint him.
"Umm you know sex. Birds and bee talk. Man and woman in bed. I thought you had a little knowledge..."
"Shut up! You mean that when you flushed my system my body took over and slept with you?" he was actually impressed, she had managed to manifest a battle aura. Oh right, that was not good in this situation.
"Yeah." he breathed and waited for the inevitable object to hit him.
"And what did you do? Just let things happen?" he was fairly certain that she would have screeched if she didn't want to draw attention to this particular conversation in the house. It didn't matter her tone made it sound to him that she did it anyway.
"Of course not, Nabiki. But I didn't want to hurt you and I didn't know what could go wrong if I didn't finish the flushing." he said with a burning face.
"Did this happen the second time to?" he aura was beginning fray some of the more flammable things around her.
"Yeah."
"Idiot! Why didn't you tell me the first time?" ok now he was impressed. Anyone else and he would have been strangled, punched, kicked and incinerated by now. Were she really one of Akane´s sisters?
"Don't you think you can answer that question on your own? As much as I hate how my life is now, I really like to be alive" this made Nabiki back a step when Ranma looked up and into her eyes. She remembered how he had acted after the second time and how he had jumped every time she had as much as looked in his direction. "I didn't know after the second time if you were in control or not. It wasn't like I was going to ask you about it either" the hurt that he showed made her heart do, despite the anger she felt for him at the moment, some funny things in her chest.
"So you want to blame the spell?" little of her anger had bled of but she still wanted something tangible she could punish for this.
"If I wanted to have an excuse yes. I really didn't want to hurt you Nabiki and I didn't know what would happen if I knocked you out" there were something in his eyes that she had seen before, but never in her direction.
"But knock me up was ok?" her anger was coming back in full force.
"Huh wha?"
"You do know how babies are made right?" she wondered with blazing eyes. Ranma looked at her with a blank look for a moment before he lost all the color from his face. "Good you're not a complete moron. I thought you would have some idea about it when you talked about procreation" she heaved a heavy sigh. "We can only hope that we were lucky. Not every intercourse means conception, even if the dates have been bad" Ranma just sat before her on the floor with his mouth hanging loose. This could be bad, really bad.
"I really hope for your own sake that it was the spell that made me jump you. I know that you are not one to take advantage of the situation and that is your only saving grace at the moment. But next time there will be a camera." she still wanted to have something to smash. She could understand her sisters feeling now, as smashing a few bricks didn't sound like a bad idea.
"Next time?" he wondered, still with a faraway look.
"You didn't manage to break the spell the first two times. Do you really think this would be any different?"
"No, as you said. I don't know either how this spell works."
"Right. Now how about we go and spar. I have this need to punch on something."
"Err ok." Ranma was leery to follow the enrage girl to the Dojo. He had a feeling this would be one of those painful sessions.
---
Lunch was a time for silent fuming it seemed. Akane fumed because she thought Ranma and Nabiki looked like they were planning Armageddon and would lay the blame on her. Nabiki fumed because she still had not found out who had cast the spell and Ranma´s little revelation didn't sit well with her. The sparring took of the part where she needed to smash something to pieces, but she still needed a perpetrator for the deed.
The fathers fumed. Or at least, the sake from last night fumed from them. What the occasion for the drinking binge was this time, Ranma would never learn. But apparently there had been a need for vast amount of it.
Ranma fumed, or rather the hot water Kasumi had given him fumed.
Kasumi on the other hand was her usual tranquil and calm counterweight. She took a look over the people around the table and sighed inwardly. If someone in this group wouldn't grow up soon she would never leave this house. She learned a lot from Dr Tofu's books but they were beginning to loose their teaching value for her. She felt that she had been held back and stiffeled long enough in this house and now it was soon time for her to do something more.
Until then it was just to continue to keep the Wa of the house as balanced as possible.
---
"What is that you are reading?" Nabiki wondered from the open door. It was just after lunch and Ranma had for once managed to get away from the table on his own and not by an item branded by Akane.
"This? It's like a school book about magic." he was at the moment doing sit-ups while he held the book in front of his face. Nabiki couldn't understand how he managed to concentrate on the text while he exercised, but if it worked for him she wouldn't complain.
"School book for magic? Wherever did you pick that up?" her voice was thick with sarcasm.
"Believe it or not, at the library."
"You managed to find a book about magic at the library?"
"Yeah. I couldn't believe it either." Nabiki shook her head and looked the book over as it swished by her head.
"You mean that you can actually read that?" she wondered after looking over the glyphs and runes on the pages.
"Yeah, on those two pages at least."
"Those two pages?" she didn't really understand his explanation. How could he only understand two pages in a book? He stopped his sit-ups and pulled out another book which he laid down in front of Nabiki.
"Here take a look. Tell me if there is any page that you can read." Nabiki decided to humor him and opened the book. She wasn't terrible surprised when all she could find were those runes and glyphs.
"Just those strange symbols Saotome. Now tell me what this is about."
What happened then almost blew Nabiki away. Ranma sat down beside her and began a lecture about what stood on the page and what magic was all about. What he said actually made sense so she didn't think that he made it up on the spot to have a little fun with her.
"Well that's the gist of how you get magic to work for yourself. But I can't find that spell that was cast on you." he said with a heavy sigh.
"You're looking for a cure for me?" she asked a little shocked. Sure Ranma always looked for something so he could help those around him that were in need. But that he actually went so far as to trying to learn magic just to help her break the spell was almost mind-blowing.
"Well, err... yeah." Nabiki had a hard time suppressing the blush that crawled up in her face. She couldn't believe how much that comment affected her. It was at this moment that her little sister stormed into the room.
"What are you two doing?" she demanded to know.
"We are talking about magic" Ranma said as fast as he could. Akane on the other hand chose not to hear him and used her superior deduction ability as she saw the two of them blushing when she entered the room.
"You two timing BAKA! And with my own sister to boot!" not long after that Ranma was sailing out the window to get a bath in the koi pond.
"Now why exactly did you do that Sis?" Nabiki wondered and looked at Akane. "He did tell you the truth."
"He did? Well he did probably earn it anyway, he has been gone every night the last tree weeks and has probably been with his other floozies."
"I just can't seem to understand you sometimes Sis." Nabiki said and shook her head. "You know how much he wants to get rid of his curse and now he has actually began to study magic to do it." well that was a stretch of the truth but she didn't think she was all that wrong.
"Hah! That just something that he is saying to get on your good side. I don't want to think what the pervert does with his girl side." she said with a shiver.
"Let me ask you something Sis. Do you love him?" the question did take Akane completely of guard so she answered like she usually did.
"That Baka? No way, he could just go away and rot for all that I care." she huffed. Nabiki could see in her eyes that she didn't speak the truth.
"Well, if that's how you feel you are going to loose him." this time a little bit uncertainty got into Akane´s eyes.
"With the engagement I don't think that will be anytime soon." She said and stomped out of the room, this made her miss the deadly look her sister sent her way.

Authors Notes: Hi everyone. Don't know what to say really the chapters often writes themselves when Im sitting down typing. I'm not really all that happy about how this chapter panned out but it has some little explanations in it that I have to leave in.
A big Thank you to all the happy people who have sent reviews.
The lemon bit was somehow overlooked when I edited for the last time. Let me tell you that there were a lot that needed editing in the later chapters. Damn dirty mind.
I really hope that I don't scare people away when I have put this up as a Sailor Moon cross. I actually think that I have an original idea about it and they will not interfere too much with the rest of the Ranma crew. Well not too much anyway. On the other hand they are just beginning to pop up in the rougher draft of some later chapters so I still have time to chop them out.
Once again Tank you for the reviews and keep them coming.
Until next time thanks for reading -Ovis Musimon 2004
