[Episode 106309] [Episode 106309]“I live here,” Ryochan said in a huffy voice, and then noticing the note in Ranma’s hands, and how it seemed be turning brown where his fingers were touching it.
“Got to be going,” Ryochan said, even as she ran back into the house. “Got to get my bag, get out the back door and stay low for a few weeks till Ranma cools off,” she muttered to herself as she raced for her room.
Ranma took a deep breath, slowly crumbled the slightly charred letter up in his hands and stuffed it in his pocket. “I’ll just save this for Ryochan’s lunch,” he muttered. He looked up at the three girls in front of him. “So I guess you didn’t come here because of my letter.”
Instead of answering him, the girls burst out in a babble of voices that pretty much came down to, “Who is that girl, and what the fuck does she mean she lives her.”
Ranma was so used to covering for Ryouga, that he didn’t even stop to consider that there was no longer a need to do so. “Her she’s . . . Ah, Ryouga’s cousin. She’s staying here.”
“And you’re staying with her, sugar,” Ukyou asked with an arched eyebrow.
Ranma shrugged. You three made it pretty clear you weren’t interested in me.
“That not so, Shampoo always plenty interested. Two rug-munchers take time to learn better, but they interested now too!”
Ranma actually smiled. “I’m glad to hear that. It would be nice if we could be friends.”
“well, Akane and I sure did our best to be friendly, sugar,” Ukyou said while Akane blushed and looked down at her shuffling feet.
Ranma’s smile turned lecherous, and he said in a fond voice. “You were at that.” But, then his visage turned stern, or at least as stern as he could make it. “But some people would say you were still just trying to manipulate me, and you really don’t want to make up for what you did.”
Akane scowled. In her mind she’d made a pretty big gesture. How dare he discount it. Just because she use to look for any excuse possible to knock him over the horizon so she could spend time with Shampoo and Ukyou was no reason to think she was lying now.
“I take it the letter you sent had something to say about that, Ran-chan?” Ukyou asked. “And I don’t think it was that you never wanted to see us again.”
Ranma actually looked shocked at that. “Of course not. I still like you, Ucchan. I just don’t know if I can trust you.”
“So, what was in the letter we were supposed to get?” Akane asked.
Ranma opened his mouth to speak, and then closed it again. Darn it Ryochan, he thought. I spent hours getting that letter right. And now I don’t know how to tell them with them looking at me like that.
Actually, what was really the matter, was that Ranma was finding the idea of delivering an ultimatum face to face a lot harder than simply writing a letter to the party, or parities, in question.
“well, it’s like this,” Ranma said tapping his forefingers together and staring at them fixedly. “We, I, thought you needed to show an example of good faith.” Ranma stopped talking at that point. And a moment of silence followed.
“What sort of example, Ran-chan?” Ukyou asked when Ranma’s voice seemed to seize up.
“Oh, nothing too complicated,” A voice came from behind the girls. Both Ranma and they looked back at the speaker with surprise for the girls and relief on Ranma’s part.
“Nabiki!’ three voices exclaimed in various tones of surprise. Shampoo just clapped a hand over the hidden pouch where she kept her tip money.
Nabiki walked around the girls, up the steps to Ranma and before he could react looped her arms around his neck and gave him a big deep kiss, that lasted far too long for the girls to think Ranma was not letting it continue.
Nabiki released the kiss, but made sure a long trailer of saliva continued to connect her and Ranma’s mouth as she pulled away from him. Daintily wiping away the spit, she smiled at the girls and said, “As you can see, Ranma is suffering from no shortage of women in his life, but your in luck, he’s willing to let other people play with us, if he can trust them.”
“What, be part of that, perverts Harem! I’d muffffff,” Akane cut off as Ukyou covered her mouth with a hand.
“Just a second, Sugar. Just what do you mean by play with you?” Ukyou asked Nabiki who was casually cuddled up against Ranma. As she talked she kept shifting her hand to avoid Akane taking a chunk out of it.”
“I shouldn’t have to explain that to you three. You know all about ‘playing’, Nabiki said, but she gave a sigh and added, “but, very well. Dear sweet Ranma has been burnt so bad in the love sweepstakes, he’s opted out. He’s not looking for a girlfriend of fiancee, just playmates. He just wants to have fun till things work out one way or another. Isn’t that right, Ranma?” she asked, digging an elbow into his side.
“Huh, yea, that’s right. I’m tired off all the fighting and feuding. I just want to have some fun for a while. I figure if I’m going to fall in love with someone, it’ll happen on it’s own with no need for other people pushing and shoving to make it happen.”
“That’s one of the things Ranma wanted to make sure of. That you girls weren’t going to be tugging on him like some wishbone, and that you can play nice with others.”
“What others?” Shampoo asked. Her nympho radar was picking up hints of some serious sexual potential. “And quit beating bush. Say what mean. Mean fucky fucky with no strings when say play?”
“How succinct, Nabiki said. “You are of course correct. Lots of sex, lots of fun, no strings, no talking out of class.”
her trysts with Akane and Shampoo had given Ukyou a healthy appetite for regular sex, so she was maybe not as appalled by the idea as she might otherwise have been. Still . . .” You still didn’t say who. You weren’t maybe thinking of inviting a whole lot of horny guys and charging them a hundred yen a pop to have a go at us.”
Ranma’s “Of course not!” Sounded at the same time as Shampoo’s “So what wrong with that?”
Everyone looked at Shampoo, until she flushed and said. “Well, only if they nice and strong,” in a defensive tone of voice.
All four of the others rolled their eyes and Nabiki answered Ukyou’s question. “Right now there is Ranma,, me, and Ryouga.”
“Don’t forget Ryochan, Ryouga’s cousin,” Ranma hastily added. When Nabiki looked at him with an arched eyebrow he added. “She decided to become a full time member after having so much fun at the Cat Café.” his eyes were saying. “Go along, go along, go along.”
“Fun!” Shampoo screeched. “This one show her fun next time meet her.”
“Don’t worry,” Ranma said. “If you join I’m sure she’ll give you a rematch.”
Nabiki had taken this conversation in with interest, and marked it down as something to pursue, at a latter date. But for now. “Of course this all depends on two things that were in Ranma’s letter, and I assume you did not get.” As everyone, even Akane who was still gagged with Ukyou’s hand nodded, she continued. One, you agree to join. And two, you pass the initiation.”
“Initiation. Shampoo not know that position.”
“well, in frat-houses it usually involved a bare ass and a large wooden paddle.” Ukyou said with a wry expression.
“Oh, Shampoo know that one.” Japanese have funny names for things.
“You’re not to far off the mark, actually,” Nabiki said with a smirk.
Ryouga and Ranma tried to dress it up as a way to prove you are trustworthy, but the truth is, they just want to be able to do anything they want with your young nubile bodies for a few days.”
“Hey, that’s not true,” Ranma protested.
“Anything,” Ukyou and Shampoo said at the same time, with very different inflections in their voices.
“Oh, don’t worry. You can stop it anytime you want. Truth to be told. The boys are whimps. They aren’t going to rape you, not for real anyway.” Did you and Ran-chan ever play Samurai and Bandit when you were kids.
“Yea,” Ukyou replied in the affirmative.
“Well, all this really means is that you have to be the bandit for a few days. And the boys get to be the Samurai. I of course get to be the beautiful lady magistrate that sentences you to suitable punishment for your evil deeds.
“Did you have to be initiated when you joined this little boy’s club Nabiki?” Ukyou asked suspiciously.
Nabiki smirked. “Lets see. First off we stayed in character, sort of. I tried to blackmail Ranma, he decided to punish me for it. Next, I was a poor school teacher raped quite thoroughly by two delinquent students. But, when Ryochan joined, I got to help initiate her. And now we draw straws to see who gets to be on top.”
Akane pulled Ukyou’s hand away from her mouth. Ukyou hadn’t been holding it very tightly by that point. “So once we serve this initiation, I might bet a chance to play Samurai and bandits with Ryochan, and she’s the bandit.” Akane was visibly licking her lips.
“Well, that was just an example, but yes, you could be the Samurai, or the evil dark general, or the delinquent school girl, whatever, as long as you don’t draw the short straw.
“count me in!” Akane said, her eyes already glazing as she slipped into dreamworld.
“Sounds like fun to Shampoo, as long as lots of fucky, no care if top or bottom.”
Ukyou was not so quick. “You say we can stop any thing we don’t like?” “And if we do, we don’t get kicked out, we just move to a different game?” Receiving affirmatives to both these, she said, “Sure, what have I got to lose? I’m in.”
“eeeeeppp,” A muffled voice sounded behind Ranma and he turned to see Ryochan, with full backpack on her back trying to silently back away. Not seeming to hurry, he never the less was beside her between one eye blink and the next. “Ah, how nice you joined us Ryochan,” he said, taking a firm hold on her ear and using it as a handle to lead her back to the door. “Now what should we do with our errant postmistress here?” he asked.
“Now, Ranma, that’s not very nice. You shouldn’t treat a young girl like that. Unless of course she’d been bad and deserves some special treatment.
Five eyes turned to look at Kasumi standing outside the gate, dressed in a thin sundress that the slight wind seemed to plaster to her body.
“Oh, did I forget to mention that Kasumi volunteered to be the new house mother for our little club house?” Nabiki asked. “Of course she knows she’ll have to pass a test to get the job but she’s sure she can manage it.”
