Chapter 2

It has been almost two weeks since the incident at the school and her primary informants have turned nothing up about the boy. Demons weren't common in Tokyo so she didn't think he would be this difficult to find, but there are a few and most of them didn't cause trouble for humans. There were even a couple of mixed marriages but the families were shunned from society. The lack of information didn't bring Nabiki's day down though as she was cleaning house with her betting ring. She still couldn't believe people were betting on Kuno even though her sister beat him every morning. The only thing out of the ordinary was her sister talking to her at lunch.

"Nabiki? Nabiki… There you are. You rushed out of the house so fast this morning that you missed what daddy had to say." Akane said a little out of breath.

Nabiki was sitting by herself at a table outside. The day was cool and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. She was enjoying the warmth of the sun immensely. 'Sometimes the simple pleasures really are the best.'

"What does dad want now?" Nabiki asked her sister.

"He wants us home right after school. He apparently has something big to tell us," Akane replied. Before Nabiki could say anything, Akane started to run off to her friends who were waving to her.

Nabiki went back to the notebook and calculator in front of her. She sat there pondering what her father wanted while calculating the interest rates on the loans she had given out at lunch. She had business to attend to after all.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful with nothing really happening, which in itself is a surprise considering that it's Nerima after all. Nabiki walked home by herself and when she got there the brunette went straight to her room.

Surveying her room, she lamented that it was surprisingly plain. Nabiki took care of all the finances for the house and after constantly dealing with money, or the lack thereof, the only thing she really splurged on was snacks. Everything she owned was borrowed or given to her. Well, except the CD player in her room that is. The whole house was plain in Nabiki's opinion. Though the house is good-sized with five bedrooms, a large bath and a dojo made the property really worth something.

Nabiki sat down at her desk and pulled a tattered notebook from the drawer. After setting it down and opening it to the last page she had worked on, her eyes went wide.

"After today we should be in the black for the next month." This was a relief to Nabiki, for the last four months they have been in the red and at times barely being able to keep them fed. Money was tight most of the time with her father not working and Akane destroying things.

Nabiki scribbled some notes and was putting the notebook away when she heard Soun calling her and her sisters to the dining room. She quickly changed out of her school uniform and into her short shorts and tank top before heading downstairs.

After they were assembled around the table Soun began. "A good friend of mine is coming to visit and he is bringing his son with him. We have agreed that one of you girls will marry him and carry on the family dojo."

Akane slammed her hands down on the table, putting a crack in it. "No way! How could you even ask us to do something like this?"

Nabiki looked at the crack in the table and began thinking, 'If Akane gets engaged to this guy it could be the end of us financially.' Her father speaking broke her train of thought.

"Akane, I understand your frustration, but I have three unwed daughters and no regular source of income. This would help the family greatly and we could possibly reopen the dojo," Soun replied in a stern voice.

"Akane, you haven't even met him yet. He could be nice." Kasumi stretched the word nice a bit. "Let's at least meet the guy first. Daddy, can you tell us anything about him?"

Soun's only response was "I don't know. I never met him. I do know that they have recently crossed over to China while training in the art and are on their way back to Japan. They should be here any time."

"Wow, China!" Nabiki exclaimed. 'Maybe they won't put that big of a dent in our finances after all.' "When did you say they would get here daddy?"

"From the postcard they should have been here two weeks ago, but they haven't showed up yet. I trust that one of you will do the right thing and carry on the dojo."

With that the meeting ended and they parted their ways. Nabiki went back to her room, Kasumi went back to the kitchen to finish dinner and Akane went to the dojo to blow off a little steam, as usual.

'I want to make a good first impression,' she thought as she dug through her closet. After some digging and searching, she decided to wear her kimono that her mother had left her. 'I can wear these over the weekend since there is no school and I don't have to be any were.'

After a short time there were no bricks left in the dojo to break and dinner was almost ready. Akane wiped the sweat from her brow and decided to take a bath before eating. Walking from the dojo to the main house and up the stairs, she passed a very dressed up Nabiki.

"Nabiki, why are you so dressed up?" she asked not sure if she really wanted to hear the answer.

"I just want to make a good first impression if daddy's friend shows up over the weekend. You know me, I'm always looking for a way to make a yen and this might be the answer to all of my prayers." Nabiki smirked then frowned. "Or it could turn out to be a big mistake and I will have to take them for all they have anyways." Deciding this was the best time to walk away she continued down the stairs to the dinning room.

Dinner was tense yet uneventful. Akane was still pissed at Soun for promising one of their hands in marriage. She didn't care what the reason was. Later on, Nabiki and Kasumi chatted a bit before deciding to go to bed.

"Mommy!" Nabiki screamed and sat up. It was morning and the sun was shining in her room like it always did. 'Why do I keep having these dreams?' Nabiki slid out of bed and looked at her alarm clock. '8:00a.m? Why did I wake up so early? Damn nightmares.' After clearing the sleep out of her eyes she walked to the bathroom in a daze to brush her teeth.

"Hey! Stop it old man! I told you that I don't want a fiancée! I need to get back to China!" A male voice was heard outside before the bell was rung. Kasumi and Soun made their way to the door to see who it was while Nabiki was walking down the stairs, still not quite all awake. Her hair was still messed up and she had a tooth brush hanging out of her mouth when she saw the door open and a bald man and a black haired boy was standing there.

"You wouldn't be…" Soun started.

"Hai, I'm Ranma Soutome. Sorry 'bout this" Ranma finished.

Nabiki blinked twice, finally realizing what was going on, what she was wearing and how she looked. Ranma caught sight of a girl running up the stairs in her PJ's before his attention was returned to what was going on in front of him.

"Genma, you finally came," Soun said while hugging the bald man. "Let's go to the dining room and have some tea, and then you can tell me and my daughters about your travels." Soun was crying by this point and ushering them to the dinning room.
