Shaking her head, Nabiki went upstairs. "That really was something else, even for Ranma's standards... imagine, having an animal-girl showing up that almost looks exactly like him and that sees him as her big brother?"
She chuckled. "Well, at least I can be pretty sure something like that won't happen to me..."
She opened her room's door.
On Nabiki's bed, Nabatty the bat was lying on her stomach, the legs stretched out behind her and lazily wiggling around. In front of her, an open Manga was lying.
Upon hearing that someone had entered the room, she turned around her head and smiled.
"Oh, hiya! So, you must be my original, eh? I must say, you've got a pretty good taste regarding mangas..."
Nabiki staggered backwards and leaned against her room's door frame. "I... I don't feel so good..."
Nabatty raised an eyebrow. "Drank too much last night? Yeah, I know that kind of feeling. Perhaps you should sit down for a moment..." She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, making room for Nabiki to sit.
Seeing her human counterpart hesitate, Nabatty grinned. "Hey, it's all right: I won't bite!"
"Um, if you say so..." The middle Tendo sister sat down, still feeling somewhat uncomfortable. "So... you're a friend of Ranko, huh?"
"You've seen her?" Nabatty asked. "Where is she?"
"Downstairs, I believe... sparring with her new 'big brother'."
"A big brother, eh? I'd like to hear the story behind that one... By the way, is that 'big brother' of hers good-looking?"
Nabiki considered demanding some money for that information, but decided against it. Besides, what would a bat-girl like her do with money anyway? "Well, he's kinda taken..."
'Yeah, by at least three girls at once,' she mentally added.
"Aw, bummer... well, no matter. I doubt he'd have a preference for furries like me." She stood up. "Well, guess I better call the others to tell them I've found Ranko."
"The others? Wait a minute... Just how many of you are out there?"
Nabatty gave Nabiki a sly grin. "I'm sure you'd love to know that, huh?"
"Yes. Now can you tell me or not?"
The bat-girl smirked... and held out her open palm. "That makes 3.000 yen."
Nabiki facefaulted. "You gotta be kidding me..." she murmured to herself. "Just what do you need money for?" she asked her animal-double.
"Why, to buy enough booze, of course... you know how much a bottle of top-quality sake costs?"
Nabiki groaned. "Great... of all the animal-doubles out there, I had to get the alcohol-addictive bat-girl..."
