Author's Pre-notes:

I do not own the Song "My Little Secret" it is owned by various music artists known as Xscape. I know I've written yet another song fic but I can't help it. The song was stuck to my head and I keep getting this idea of what it would be like if Nabiki and Ranma were seeing each other on the side. Hopefully by writing this fic, It will stop the constant idea from running around my head and I can go on writing on my other stories... Well I hope you all like it...

This was once originally a oneshot story but thanks to everyone's kind and supportive reviews, this story had become a full blown story. So to everyone that had encouraged me and continues to support me, all I can say is my heart-felt thank you.

Also just a reminder that English is a 2nd language of mine so please forgive any grammar and tense mistakes I may have done.

Now On with The Show!

Italics means Song Lyrics

See baby you're my little secret,

If you don't tell, I won't tell,

And that's how we gotta keep it.

Ranma glanced at Nabiki from his peripheral vision. He couldn't hide a tiny smile that appeared from his lips, as he walked along side Akane. He can see that Nabiki had noticed him stealing glances at her. She, like him held a slight smile which quickly vanished as they passed the other students of Furikan High. They shared something no one knows. A secret that only the two of them share. A very dangerous and exciting secret that will shock everyone they know and hold dear.

Did anybody see you

coming to my house last night?

When I got your message on my beeper,

That you wanna do everything I like,

Alright, alright.

For about four months now, they have been secretly seeing/dating each other. A secret no one else knows. It first started when Ranma had confronted Nabiki about how she felt about him, especially during the time when Akane switched the engagement to her. Even for only a brief moment, Ranma felt there was something odd about the way the middle Tendo had behaved towards him once the engagement was switched. Sure she used him to get money, that was expected but he noticed that Nabiki didn't really spent as much time with him when he was with Akane. It was as if she avoided him like a plague. Never staying alone with him for more than necessary. This both confused and intrigued him.

I like being in the same room as you and your girlfriend.

The fact that she don't know,

That really turns me on.

She'll never guess in a million years,

That we've got this thing going on.

He noticed that while he was with Akane, she would steal glances at him. Studying him. At first, he thought it's because that's the way she is. Trying to find something that she can use to black mail him. Well at first it was, until he confronted her about it. She told him straight faced that she indeed found him intriguing and fascinating but has no intention of pursuing him because of the trouble that surrounds him. Though her words where some what cold, her eyes had slipped and betrayed her.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

It's on everybody's mind,

about you and I,

They think so,

but they don't really know.

Or wanna know that,

Curiosity got the better of him and began to observe Nabiki secretly and more closely. He spent time with her just to study her peculiar behaviour. He ended up talking to her about unimportant stuff to hide his suspicions. Until gradually, talking to her became comfortable and casual.

He didn't know why he could trust someone like her. A person that would use someone like him when she got an indication that it will be beneficial for her. But to his relief, Nabiki wasn't like that. Like him, she was lonely. Her reputation as the Ice Queen caused her to always be on her guard when dealing with people, leaving her more isolated and alone. Slowly, their relationship began as companionship until it bloomed into friendship. But even then, their friendship was kept as a secret because of the Fiancée Brigade.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

We should never let 'em know,

Never let it show.

If you know, like I know,

We should never let it go.

Both Nabiki and Ranma knew the amount of damage it will cause if anybody found out about their impending friendship. Most will laugh and most will try and interfere. That's why it was most important to keep it as a secret. They just never knew that by sharing the same emptiness and loneliness they feel, they would both find themselves in each other and gradually began to fall for each other. It was not love but at least it was close enough.

If anybody knew that it was you and your house,

That I was creepin' to all the time,

I'd probably still do it,

'Cause I find it hard to keep you off of my mind.

Ranma still liked Akane, but it was different when he's with Nabiki. Nabiki trusted him and would always hear him out regardless of how far fetch or unbelievable his reasons be. Ranma would secretly see her in her room some nights just to be with her and be able to spend time with her. He would knock at her window and she would let him in and they would talk. That alone was kind of special to Ranma because he never had anyone to really talk to before. Someone who would have his undivided attention. Someone who really listened and try and understand him. The most wonderful thing was when they shared their first kiss under the moonlight rays coming from Nabiki's bedroom as he said his goodnight. The circumstances wasn't at all that great but the kiss, took both their breaths away.

I like being in the same room as you and your girlfriend.

The fact that she don't know,

That really turns me on.

She'll never guess in a million years,

That we've got this thing going on.

Nabiki doesn't know why but every time she was in the same room with Ranma and his other would be fiancées, she would get excited. Her heart would race as adrenaline filled her veins, knowing that no one knows about them that they were seeing each other in secret. She doesn't mind hiding her relationship with him. She knew the consequences if anyone would find out and knew.

She would be the primary target of his fiancée brigade, putting her very existence in jeopardy. But she was touched that Ranma will do everything in his power to protect her and together they will find a way to be together without hurting everyone else. Most especially her baby sister.

Everybody cheats,

But you gotta know how,

you gotta know when,

You gotta know why my infatuation with you,

Is taking me on an emotional high.

Technically Ranma was not cheating, and if he was she didn't mind. She doesn't care as long as she was with him. She sometimes wished, she and Ranma shouldn't have to hide. If they truly cared for him, then they would respect his decision that he is indeed not ready to get married. He was only just a teenager. He was not yet ready for a commitment that great. Neither was everyone else.

That point was lost long ago, it was now about only owning Ranma like a prize. It became a vicious competition where Ranma's feelings and opinions were considered as nothing. Where Ranma became trapped because of his sense of honour. The very same sense of honour he continually tries to uphold but only brought him sadness, loneliness and pain.

I'm caught all up in this love affair baby,

Speculation will bring us stares.

All my friends are asking about it,

Still the truth I can't reveal.

That's why she agreed to always be there for him. No matter what. So what if their relationship was a secret? The most important thing is that she was not hurting anyone in particular.

Everyday their relationship grows. It's getting harder and harder to fight the urge to run and wrap her arms around him when the rest of the world was against him. To stop herself from crying when she sees him hurt. Only through his eyes did she find strength.

It was also getting harder for Ranma to control and reign in his emotions when Nabiki tries to look and act strong for the both of them. Watching her quell her emotions for both their sake when things became too rough, especially when his would be fiancees fought over him.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

It's on everybody's mind,

about you and I,

They think so,

but they don't really know.

Or wanna know that,

That night, Ranma came knocking at her window like so many nights before. She would open it for him and they would sit together in her bed and just hold on to each other. They would sometimes just sit there with no words exchanged between them. Just being content with the way they were just together. Alone. Without anyone else. Not worrying about anyone else. Just the two of them. That was enough.

Ranma loved the way Nabiki would lean on his shoulder, with his arms wrapped around her protectively and comfortably. At times like these, he would see the real her. The tender, loving and very elusive side of herself that she barely shows anyone else besides him. A smile touched his lips as he breathes in her scent deeply. It felt like heaven. Sometimes he wished that the nights would never end.

Nabiki loved the feeling of being held by Ranma. She always felt safe and secure in his arms. Like nothing will ever hurt her and nothing bad will ever happen to her as long as Ranma held her. She can see how relax he was whenever they're together like this. She can feel the happiness and wistfulness in his eyes in the dark. She would sometimes wished that day break would never come whenever they were together, knowing that when morning comes, they can't be together.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

We should never let 'em know,

Never let it show.

If you know, like I know,

We should never let it go.

In the mornings, all they could do was steal glances at each other. Some people would become suspicious but never voiced it. Something like that would never happen. The Wild Horse and The Ice Queen being together was both ridiculous and ludicrous! There was more of chance of the apocalypse occuring than the two of them ever being together. They absolutely have nothing in common as far as everyone knew.

As long as I'm right here,

You ain't never gonna be by yourself.

'Cause the love that we share,

It stays on my mind,

You're always gonna be a little secret of mine.

There were also stolen moments and kisses shared between Ranma and Nabiki, but none was the wiser. It was the best well kept secret in Furikan and the rest of Nerima. People would notice from time to time but would dismiss it. They assume it was some sort of trick or some kind of illusion of some sort but one thing was for sure. Ranma and Nabiki does share a little secret. A secret only the two of them shared.
