[Episode 50176] [Episode 50176]Ranma came up the stairs muttering. "Stupid Tomboy. That's it I am leaving this house. Monsters.. Bah" Ranma headed toward his room. He stopped as He sensed sobs from Nabiki's room. "Ah geeze... I forgot nagas hear though their bodies as well as their ears." Ranma stepped up to Nabiki's door. He knocks softly. "Nabiki?"
From the other side of the door came the sound of a girl trying to stop sobs, "Leave me alone Ranma, I am a monster you know!" The soft sound of scales rubbing scales was heard through the wood as Nabiki shifted around in her Naga form.
Ranma sighed and put his hand on Nabiki's door, "Nabiki, I am coming in. Don't try to bite me okay." Ranma slowly began to slide the door open. There was a flash of green and bronze scales and the door wouldn't move any farther. Ranma sighed, "Nabiki, move your tail please. I don't want to have to remove your door to get in. I want to show you one of my secrets, before I leave for my mother's."
Nabiki sobbed, it was much easier to hear with the door partly opened. "So even the great Ranma Saotome thinks I am a Monster and is leaving." There is more slithering sounds and Nabiki pressed herself to the door firmly. She wasn't sure why but Ranma thinking her a monster and not supporting her with this curse, she was almost ready to see as a blessing, it hurt a lot. In a shaky wet voice she voiced her opinion, "I was sure YOU at least would not judge me for being a Naga. After everything that happened to you. I was sure you would learn to accept me. We were getting to be friends. That hurts Ranma."
Ranma sighed, "Actually I wasn't going to leave you. I was planning on asking you to join me. Even before that mage gave you full naga abilities." Ranma reached through the crack of the door and stroked the strong coils pressed against the door to keep it from letting him in farther. He blinked when he touched the scales and smiled.
Nabiki fought her own instinct to enjoy the stroking on her tail. She tried to make sense of what Ranma had said, "Yeah... like your Mother would allow a monster into her home. Nice Try Saotome. And stop touching me. I am a monster remember!"
Ranma smiled, "Nabichan, let me in for a bit. We will talk and if you still believe I think you are a monster... I will leave you alone. Just let me in for a bit. Please?" He kept stroking her coils softly.
Nabiki slithered away from the door and away from Ranma's hand as well. Though she seems to hesitate at the last moment about breaking contact.
Ranma slid the door open, and entered Nabiki's room slowly. He smiled as his eyes found Nabiki coiled on her bed a pretty copper and emerald hood spread from her temples to her shoulders as she watched him with slit eyes. He stepped into her room completely and closed the door behind him, "Pretty Hood by the way. Though I wouldn't let my mother see it. She would go into her grandchildren dance if she saw you hooded.
Nabiki was shocked and her surprise allows her hood to relax back into her neck leaving only scales at her temple, under her hair and down her neck to her shoulders. "Huh, Saotome, what are you talking about? your mother is weird. But even how would a hooded naga make her think of grandchildren exactly?"
Ranma smiled and knelt down beside Nabiki's bed, with one hand he took one of hers. With the other he stroked her lower coils in a similar fashion that a man might caress the calf of a woman he was close to. "Nabiki, if you weren't a naga would to be willing to be my girlfriend?" Ranma watched as Nabiki thought about it.
Nabiki's eyes shined for a while then quickly dimmed, "If I wasn't a naga, I would be happy to be your girlfriend Ranma. I am sorry I pushed Akane on you." Nabiki closed her eyes and a single tear slid down her cheek. "But I am Naga, even so, if you could accept me. I would be happy to be your girlfriend. You have been my best friend since we decided to try friendship."
Ranma stroked the tear away. To Nabiki's naga senses he smelled and tasted different, still Ranma. But stronger. more real, as if he removed something that had suppressed his scent. "Open your eyes and tell me if you would still be willing."
Nabiki opened her eyes. The stress of the day had ruined her Ice Queen defenses and her fear was clearly visible in her eyes. Her eyes opened in shock as she looked at the black and red scales on the coil that is resting on her bed next to her own. She then looks up to see Ranma dressed in a Kimono with his hood spread patterns of gold and silver scales fill her vision before she finds his blue slit eyes. Nabiki's mouth moved but no sound came out for a full three minutes. Finally she lifted up off her coils and followed the black and red coil down over the edge of her bed. There she can see the black and red pattern of Naga scales while the underside of the body was gold and silver like the inside of the hood. She sat back down on her own coils and looked at Ranma, "You are a naga too, like me?" She hit him hard in the chest, "Why didn't you tell me!" Nabiki pushed her head into Ranma chest and just allowed all her stress go crying with free abandon not even noticing when Ranma puts his arms around her and plays with her hair. Slowly he coils himself around to surround the smaller female. He softly plays with her hair.
