"So you don't deny trying to steal Ranma away, you're just blocking. God, do you think you can really get away with this you little harlot?"
Yumi in her turn becomes furious; "Who is calling who a harlot? You'll steal your sister's fiancée at the first possible opportunity you base-born wench!"
"Base-born wench? I'll have you know that my father is one of the most respected martial artists in this community." Nabiki was getting very angry now.
"Maybe being a martial artist in this house means being a family of perverts, cheats, and commoners, but elsewhere it's about honor and respect." Yumi spat back, her voice black with distaste.
"Honor? Even as an adopted Kuno you're still arrogant, how can you talk to me about honor?"
"At least my parents showed they didn't want me, your father just avoids you because you're so pathetic."
"ARGH!" Nabiki screamed, "You probably had some low class drunk of a father who couldn't take care of you, you're probably lucky he didn't sell you for sake instead. And you really think that Ranma, having a real father would even be interested in you?"
"A real father? Genma doesn't even deserve to have children, believe me... I'd know!"
Nabiki froze at those words, mulling over what had been said. "What's that supposed to mean?" She says curiously. "How would you know that? You make me think that maybe Genma may have had an illegitimate child or two. After all you did say he had a second son, why couldn't he have a third child; a daughter he didn't want?"
Yumi opened her mouth in protest, knowing that she had let a little too much slip, when suddenly they notices someone arrive. Both girls whirled to see Ranma Saotome standing there, looking sheepish.
"I don't know what you're doing" he said, "but it's time for dinner."
(Editor's Note: Though it's obvious that Nabiki is only leading Yumi at the beginning, I see it as impossible to tell for certain during the latter part of the argument whether she is actually angry or simply manipulating Yumi.)
