A/N

Warning this chapter is kind waffy, I hope you like it anyway. I wanted to establish a way that two people from vastly different backgrounds and social standings could become friends and why Kuno isn't in an expensive private school like his sister. Yes I know that his father's the high school principal and probably engineered it that way, yet he shows up later. So who was there first, the father or son and if so, for what reason? If you know it, please let me know I haven't read any of the manga and am kind of clueless about them.

Thanks for the well wishes people sent, you all rock!

Nabiki wasn't surprised the Kodachi wasn't happy to see her at dinner, "what's she doing here?" she demanded. "I won't sit at the same table as a harlot" she declared.

"Then I suggest that you have a tray sent to your room because I'm certainly allowed to invite my girlfriend to dinner in my own house and she's also our guest, you'll stop being rude to her immediately and apologize" he shot back.

"I will not!" Kodachi snapped. "I don't enjoy the company of loose women even if you do."

"She's neither a tramp, a harlot nor a loose woman; she's the woman I would have married this morning had she said yes, might I remind you of that?" As Mrs. Kuno she would have become the lady of the house….and you would be a mere tenant and live here upon our sufferance? I suggest that you stop now while you still can" Kuno warned.

"I see, perhaps I should take my meal in my room" Kodachi stammered, going pale.

"No it's okay; I promise that if I marry your brother, I'll make sure to treat you with the kindness that you bestowed upon me." Nabiki replied with gentle threat in her voice and a sweet smile on her face.

Kodachi just stayed silent for the rest of dinner while they chatted happily and ignored her. "Come Nabiki, let's go to my room" Kuno suggested after their dinner was done.

Kodachi opened her mouth to protest and shut it with a look of warning from Nabiki, while she walked away from the table swinging her hips in a sexy manner, making Kuno softly chuckle.

When she got to his room, she was pleasantly surprised to find all the photos of

Akane and Ranma removed. The only photo on the wall, looked vaguely familiar, it was of a young girl kissing a boy on the cheek while he blushed; she just dismissed it as being of some relatives of his. "It seems that you're no longer displaying my merchandize" she commented.

"I had to face facts, after Akane Tendo saw me making love to another woman, and her own sister no less, that my chance with her is at an end and the Pigtailed Girl doesn't seem to live in Nerima anymore. Besides, I could hardly invite my lover to my home and woo her under the images of her rivals, which certainly wouldn't be appropriate" he said dismissively and sat down on his bed. "So what would you like to do this evening?" he asked her.

He was surprised when she undid his shirt and pushed it off of him. Gently she stroked his bruised ribs, "are you hurting? We shouldn't have made love earlier if you were." she asked him in a surprisingly tender voice.

"I'm fine, I'm a fast healer" he assured her.

"I do certainly know that to be true" she replied.

"Besides it's not like I gave you much of a choice in the matter" he pointed out.

"Well you don't really have much of a choice in what I'm going to do to you, take off the rest of your clothes" she commanded him.

"My this is an abrupt turn around, and for what particular reason am I to remove my clothes?" he teased her.

"Simple I have only ever seen your fully naked the once, therefore it's my time to play with you" she said with an evil grin, this almost caused him to shiver.

With a grin of his own, he removed his clothes and sat naked before her. He moaned as she started by lightly caressing his chest, finding his nipples and lightly pinching them. "Now it's your turn to stay still" she whispered iton his ear as she stroked his chest and firm thighs until he was fully erect, but avoided touching that directly, other then with soft brushes until he was almost whimpering.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked confused but aroused at the same time.

"Just relax and lie back" she whispered to him and he complied. Finding a black silk tie in his closet, she tied it around his head, effectively blinding him.

"What are you doing?" he asked, reaching up to take it off.

"No leave it on" she commanded pushing his arms to his sides, with a grin at her dubious looking companion and she slipped out of her own clothes. He sighed as her warm flesh nestled against his and reached for her. "Leave your arms at your sides no matter what I do to you" she teased and lightly bit the side of his neck, causing him to jump. She kissed him teasingly and then lightly sucked on his earlobes, before teasing the sensitive hallow of his neck. Her hands explored the width of his shoulders and the hard ridges of his stomach, pausing once a while to kiss him here or lick him there until he was writhing under her touch. She traveled down the length of his body, admiring his masculine beauty and flawless pale skis until she reached his groin and wrapped her small hand around velvety steel of him, marvelling at his size.. He gasped when he felt her tongue touch him. Her tongue continued its assault on his blood engorged member, little flicks followed by little nips. His hips were moving on their own. Finally she reached the tip and lightly sucked the head into her mouth. Her tongue slipped a tiny bit into his hole as her teeth scraped lightly across the top of his head. She continued to lick and suck a moment or two longer but to Kuno it felt like an eternity. Suddenly she moved her fingers and swallowed him right to the base. He gripped the sheets, arched his back and threw his head back into the mattress as his body pumped wave after wave of his seed into Nabiki's mouth. She swallowed every drop and once he'd settled down a bit, she began to move her mouth up and down his member until it soften in her mouth. Reaching up she pulled off his blindfold. "How was that?" she asked him with a satisfied grin.

"Nabiki I think I just saw stars. Where did you learn to do that?" he said, he was still slightly breathing heavy.

"Girl Guide camp" she said primly.

"I don't remember you ever being in girl guides" he said sitting up and began stroking her silky skin.

"Oh no, no sex more until you're healed" she teased him.

"The same goes for you" he replied. "I merely intended to return the little gift you just gave me" and he did.

Afterwards they sprawled contentedly in his bed and Kuno was really glad that he'd gotten Sasuke to buy a rubber sheet for when she was expected over…even if it had earned him a really odd look from the little buck toothed ninja. Kuno felt happy, there were so many firsts with Nabiki, the first time he'd made love to a woman in his own bed, heck she the first girl he'd brought home. Most of his encounters were with girls were in other cities and he would rent a hotel room for them both.

Nabiki herself was completely naked in a man's bed and she felt perfectly comfortable because it was Kuno, she knew that he was only role playing at being her boyfriend, yet she felt happy and safe in his arms. She examined the photo again and said, "wait that's us when we were little!"

"Yes I didn't have any recent photos of the both of us, so put up one of the few I had. I believe that boyfriends and girlfriends normally display these for people to see, so it seemed appropriate" he said with a shrug.

Nabiki laughed, "we must have been about five in that picture, gods you were so cute" she commented.

"As were you and you still are Biki" he replied.

She grinned, "you haven't call me that in years" she commented with amusement in her voice and then started laughing.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Just remembering that stupid suit you were wearing when we first met" she replied.

"We were only three, how could you possibly remember that?" he asked.

"It must have been the suit" she said. "I remember that your family had just moved into your ancestral mansion and the mayor had thrown a festival to welcome so important a family to town. My mother had dressed all three of us up really fancy in order to attend." She said.

"Yes I remember, you all wore matching dresses, only in different colours and each had a ribbon in your hair to match your dress. Kasumi wore purple, you wore green and Akane blue as I recall. And I wore…" he started.

"Buckled shoes, white leggings, a white shirt with lace at the collar and a black velvet suit with peddle pushers; with your little shaven head you looked ridiculous" she said with a laugh. "I recall it was so hot that day" she said. "I remember asking our mother if we could play with you and your sister because we were so bored and couldn't understand when she answered that she was sure you wouldn't be allowed to play with us. Then you ran up to us and said "you're pretty" to me."

"Yes and you said I looked like a baby bird" he replied with a grin.

"Well you did with your shaven head and huge eyes" she protested at his look of annoyance.

"Yes then I believe that I said "No one says that about Tatewaki Kuno!" and you laughed and said "you're it Kuno-Baby" and slapped my shoulder. The next thing I knew all three of us were playing tag and the safe place where no one could touch us was up on the dais where my father was giving his speech. I can't imagine how he managed to do that with four small shrieking children jumping up the down on the dais with him"

"Yes until my mother suggested to yours that she take us all to the park, including Kodachi and your mother said that Kodachi had to stay to learn how to become a lady, but you could go with us" she recalled.

"My mother never really cared for little boys, she only wanted cute daughters that she could wear matching outfits with and get their pictures taken by the press" Kuno said in a wistful sounding voice, then brought himself back to the present. "So we went with your mother and her back was turned for a second, before we found a puddle and started having a mud fight, except for Kasumi because she was always too much of a lady" he said with a laugh.

"And your little Lord Fauntleroy suit was toast. Our mother was always careful to dress us in kid friendly fabrics, so she threw our dresses into the wash, but your suit was dry clean only and ruined, so the heir to the Kuno was delivered back to his family wearing pink cords and a pink and purple stripped shirt that belonged to Kasumi because those were the only clothes that fit you" Nabiki laughed.

"My Mom was livid, the suit had been custom designed for me and probably very expensive" Kuno said with a chuckle.

"I could hear her yelling at your father, as your limo drove away, that you were never to return to that nest of tomboys. However the next day your limo pulled into our driveway and your father explained that he had brought you over to play, gods you used to be here practically everyday. I can't imagine what our fathers discussed while we played for hours, I doubt that they had much in common" she said with a frown.

"I think he was enjoying being in the presence of a happy family, even back then my parents weren't really getting along and were fighting all the time. It must have seemed like heaven for him see the happy young Soun, your beautiful mother and their sweet young daughters. My father encouraged me to play with you; I was kind of a loner as a child and didn't know anyone in town, so he took care to enrol me at the same school with my companions when we started school. He liked your family and so did I, I used to pretend that you mother was my own" he admitted.

"Yours was certainly…different from mine" Nabiki ventured.

"My mother was a cold hearted snobby bitch who married my father for his money and didn't like children" he spelled it out for her. "Just think, she left me at home and took Kodachi with her when she left and then dropped her off when she realized that a two year old child wasn't something you can dress up pretty like a doll…and then dump onto someone else to raise" he said bitterly.

"Do ever talk to her?" Nabiki asked, touching his shoulder in a comforting gesture.

"I tried a couple of times but she wanted nothing to do with me, so I stopped trying. Want to hear something ironic?" he asked her.

"Sure" Nabiki agreed.

"I have a half brother" Kuno said.

"Really, but I thought you said your mother didn't like children?" Nabiki said in surprise. "You never mentioned him before"

"I just found out about him a couple of months ago. He never knew about me either. He's twelve years old, the son of my mother's third husband. His name's Royce Mackenzie and he lives in the states and is half Japanese on our mother's side. The only way he found out about me, was after our mother left, he found an old wallet of hers containing a driver's license of hers under her former last name of Kuno and pictures of Kodachi and I with our names written on the back. He facebooked me and we got to talking and I discovered that she ran off and left his father and him too. He's a nice kid who has a passion for snowboarding, dirt bikes and a little girl named Louise Trembley" he explained with a smile.

"How do you two communicate?"

"He knows some Japanese and I know some English, we just learned how by trial and error. I'm going to visit him soon" Kuno admitted. "I'm just afraid he won't like me when we meet in person" he said.

"What's not to like?" Nabiki said taking his hand.

He looked at her and then suddenly almost wished that the shot gun wedding had gone through and that she lived with him because he was going to have to take her home soon and the idea made his heart ache.
