	Good 'fic, but I mist ask why in the Sam Hill Nabiki would do
something this deranged?

   
     To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else,
     it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and
     hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses,
     mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my
     bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine
     enemies; and what's his reason? I am [Nabiki]. Hath
     not [Nabiki] eyes? hath not [Nabiki] hands, organs,
     dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with
     the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject
     to the same diseases, healed by the same means,
     warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as
     [Ranma] is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?
     if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison
     us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not
     revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will
     resemble you in that.
