Nabiki Tendo sighed as she heard Ukyo join the group in Ranma's room, she had known about them being lesbians, or at least bi-sexual, for some time now. When she talked to Akane, she was asked not to tell anyone, she didn't like it, but agreed. However she told her sister that she would tell Ranma only if he asked her directly, (or anyone else for that matter, but Akane didn't need to know that) since no one did, no one knew.
Nabiki rubbed her forehead, she would have taken Ranma off of Akane's hands, but she didn't like him that way, more of a sibling than anything else. 'Seems like daddy's dream has gone up in smoke.' She thought. Looking up at the ceiling and scrating her chin in thought, she noticed a change in Ranma over a year ago, it wasn't anything major, just he seemed to have gotten a lot happier. She wouldn't have given it much thought, but then a half-year ago, he seemed to always take a 'training trip' and be gone for over a week, and when he got back, he had this goofy grin on his face when he thought no one was looking. When she asked about it, all he said was that he had fun. She thought what kind of 'fun' he could have, and even sent some of her lackies to follow him, but he always seemed to know that he was being followed.
Just then her phone rang, "Moshi, moshi." She said putting all thoughts out of her head.
"Nabiki this is Kimiko, just thought you'd want to know, I was in the upscale part of town when I heard this Gaijin with red hair muttering about his sister and the fact she got engaged. Now normally I wouldn't say anything but. ."
"Get to the point Kimiko." Nabiki interupted, 'That girl can sure blabber with the best of them.'
"Right sorry, anyways, the guy that his sister is engaged to just happens to have a pig-tail and is a martial artist that eats a lot, ring any bells?"
Nabiki's eyes were wide, "You don't think it's Ranma do you?"
"Think, hell, I know, I asked him about it, when he asked about it, I just said I was a friend of the family. And yes Ranma Saotome has had a girlfriend for over a year now! And now their officially engaged. Just thought I'd let you know."
"Kimiko, argiato, you are getting a bonus for this tid-bit." With that Nabiki hung up the phone, ignoring Kimiko's thanx and gratitude. 'Who to tell, who to tell? Not Daddy, Mr. Saotome, or Cologne, they'd try and break it up. Auntie gets to know, those three will have to know as well, I guess the rivals will get to know and I'll tell Kasumi. After all she was the one who asked me about his goofy grin in the first place.' Smirking at that she got up and went to the guest room and walked right in, watching a very erotic scene strait from a porno film. "When you girls are done 'eating', get dressed and meet me in my room, there's something you need to know." And with that she turned and walked away, leaving three very embarrased, but sated girls.
"A-chan, you didn't tell her about us did you?"
"Spatula girl right, you didn't tell mercanary girl did you?"
"What? No, she talked to me about it, shortly after we started our relationship, she promised not to tell Ranma unless he asked directly."
"Alright sugar, I'll believe you."
"So will Shampoo."
"Thanks, now let's get dressed."
Five minutes later, the three girls were in Nabiki's room and lounging about, "Okay, girls, I'll tell you what's going on free of charge." They looked at her like she'd just grown a second head. "There's no need to look at me like that, I'm just giving the information this time, on the condition that you don't act on the information."
Akane looked at Nabiki, thankful that she was at least still acting 'in character' so to speak. "No problem sis, we can do that."
Nabiki smirked, "All right, but remember you all promised. I'll get straight to the point, I just found out that Ranma has had a girlfriend for some time now, and is now engaged to her." Nabiki smirked as she watched the faces of the three girls pale. Before they even said two words she spoke again, "Did you three HONESTLY think that he would be stupid enough not to notice that you were using him?"
"Yes." All three at the same time.
Nabiki looked at them and couldn't believe that they were that stupid. "Look girls the point is, he know has a fiancee that he likes, and it's not any of you, Kodachi, or any of his previous ones."
"Then who?" Again all three.
Nabiki blinked, "Do you practice that or something?" They shook their heads no. "Nevermind, I don't know for sure, but whoever it is, isn't Japanese. But I will find out, now get out of here, I'm going to go hunting." And with that Nabiki got up and left her room and then the house, determined to find Ranma and his mystery fiancee.
