Nabiki found it hard to believe that Ranma could lead a double life, but the facts were clear to her. She had somehow managed to track him and found out the facts.
She couldn’t believe that Ranma was connected to the Yakuza. At least that was the way she figured it.
It had all happened when she'd been picked up after school thanks to the personal touch that could only be provided by hired goons. She'd kept her cool while being taken to meet with Tanaka san to discuss the repayment of her load to finance her (failed) napikin sales business. She'd almost lost it when he'd suggested a method of repayment involving the use of her body. Then she'd brought up the dojo as a possible collateral and mention of Ranma had entered the conversation which then ground to a sudden cessation.
"So boss, are you going to ask her to strip to see if she has the goods to star in pornos like you usually do?" one of the hired goons asked in the silence.
Tanaka turned incredibly pale and slammed the back of his fist into the goon's nose. In a quiet voice he asked, "not the son of Genma Saotome?"
"That's right," Nabiki had replied. "They are both incredibly powerful martial artists so..."
"Ah hahah!" interupted Tanaka to break out into hysteria. "Why didn't you mention this in the first place, Miss Tendo! Please ask Saotome-Sama to forgive this... better yet, please don't mention this at all. Ah heh. Forget about your dept, all is forgiven... right?"
"Ah? Sure," Nabiki hastily recovered her aplomb," no problem.
"Riiight," Tanaka hesitated, then snapped his fingers at another goon. "Gero, please escort Miss Tendo to whereever she wishes to go. Step lively now, I'm sure she's a bussy person. Ah heh. Would you look at the time.... I'm sorry to rush, Miss Tendo, but it seems I'm late for a very improtant date. Come boys, let's go!"
'What the heck was that all about?' Nabiki wondered on the ride back to Nerima.
In the shadows of his office, the clan head's smile widened as he listened. "Excellent!"
Placing down the receiver the crime lord intercommed the secretary, "Sachiko, please call my daughter, I have a job for her. Oh, and also call an electrician to fix the lights in here."
