Ranma looked up from his musings as he suddenly felt… something coming from Nabiki’s room. To his now semi-trained senses (could they be called semi-trained? After all, he'd just gotten them from his past self. But they felt so familiar, though...), it felt somewhat familiar, much like… lust? No, that wasn’t right; it was close to Happosai’s lust aura, but not quite. It was… greed? Was that what it was? And was that anticipation woven through it? And happiness? What did she have to be happy about at this time of night, when everybody was supposed to be sleeping (which reminded him, he really had to thank the Fates that his father had decided to go out drinking tonight. He really didn’t want to wonder what would have happened it he had been there to see Pluto…)? And anticipation mixed with greed? That sounded like something Nabiki would feel when faced with something that had money-making potential. But what could she have just so recently found out that could make her money…?
His eyes popped as, like a bolt of lightning, he remembered Nabiki had bugged all the rooms in the house. ALL the rooms. Including his own (well, technically, it’s the Tendo guest room, but he’s been staying there for a year now, so it might as well be his).

After several moments of deliberating, Ranma gave a disgusted sigh and decided to do what he was best at: winging it. After all, his life experiences had more then doubled in the last thirty minutes; if that didn’t put him on more even ground when it came to Nabiki’s mind games, he didn’t know what would.
One short trip later, Ranma was knocking on the girl’s door. On the other side he felt fear and confusion mix in with the happiness, anticipation, and greed, before the door opened to reveal…
