Besides, Akane and Nabiki had been working on ways to save their home, and even if they lost the building, much as she'd hate that, they'd always be a family.
Of course, she wasn't about to press them for details as to what they were going to do. They were the ones who'd take care of the family's difficulties, and she'd done her part in keeping their daily costs down. Besides, the poor dears had seemed to be exhausted when they'd come home, and she couldn't bring herself to bother them at the moment.
However, they could come to her.
"Hey sis," Akane said as she came into the kitchen.
"Oh, hello," the elder girl replied, "Are you well rested?"
"Yeah... I don't know what came over me. But I'm feeling much better now."
"I'm glad. You usually don't take a nap during the day..."
"What?"
"You look... different."
"Oh?" the younger girl answered, posing a little. "There's this new shop that Nabiki and I went to that has the most amazing process."
"It does?"
"Most certainly. They do all sorts of stuff to you, and give you a bit of a... boost."
"What sort of 'boost'?"
"The sort that allows one to do things beyond what mortal men are capable of," Nabiki quipped as she came into the room. "But in all seriousness, it's just a little change that lets the one who gets it have something of an... animal in her."
The oldest of the trio blinked at that. "What does that mean?"
"It 'means' that anyone can get a bit of animal powers put into them. And both of us did."
"You did? But wouldn't that be risky?"
"Nah... Well, maybe. But what's done is done, and we seem fine. And..."
"Hmmm?"
"Why don't you get it done too?" the middle sister asked.
"Me?!"
"Well... yeah. Think of it. You could be able to do housework quicker, identify the ingrediants or other things, all without having to work at it. This is a bit new, but so long as we keep it simple, we should be safe."
"You should come try it! We got changes, and I've never felt better. I could pound a thousand Kunos now!" Akane cheered.
"Should I arrange that for you sis?"
"Not a chance."
"Your loss. A lot of people would pay to see that. But still, we're not asking you to try anything Kasumi. We just want you to come with us to check it out."
"Well..."
"Please?" asked the two younger girls.
"Okay... But I'm not promising anything."
"That's fine by us," Nabiki responded.
Akane took her sister by the arm. "We just want to show you what we're talking about."
Kasumi nodded at that, but wondered if she was doing the right thing while:
