“Oh, great,” Ryochan muttered to herself. How the hell was she going to compete with Kasumi? With the other three, if she couldn’t get rid of them she could at least establish herself as the alpha. Besides, Akane and Ukyou were gay, and no real competition. Kasumi on the other hand. Ryochan let out a little groan of frustration as she took in how sweet Kasumi looked. How could she compete with that?”
“Oh my, Ranma. I really think you should let that young lady’s ear go,” Kasumi suggested.
“Huh? Oh, sorry, Ryochan,” Ranma said releasing the tall blond’s ear and allowing her to stand up to her full height.
“My, you are a very healthy young girl,” Kasumi said in honest admiration as she ran her eyes up and down Ryochan’s body.
“What are you doing here, big sister!” Akane demanded, her face looking horrified. With all the talk about hot and heavy sex, the sudden appearance of her mother figure on the scene, and the fact that she apparently was going to be joining them had created a real discord in her mind. Her private fantasies about Kasumi were one of her deep dark secrets, one that she hadn’t even shared with Ukyou or Shampoo, but she’d never dreamed that they might actually come true, and the idea that they might was far more disturbing than arousing.
Neither Ukyou or Shampoo had negative reactions to Kasumi’s presence. They’d both long thought she had a hot body under all those frumpy clothes and were more than slightly interested in discovering if that were true.
Nabiki nearly rubbed her hands together in glee at the disruption her little stone had caused in the pool of teenagers. “So, why don’t we go inside and get better acquainted? She asked.
“Is your break just about over?” a dry, and very annoyed, voice asked from the direction of Kasumi.
Kasumi looked down and spoke to someone out of sight behind the fence. “Oh, hello Grandmother Cologne, how are you today?”
“I’d be a lot better if my entire wait staff had not wondered off and left me with a restaurant full of customers.” Cologne said as she popped into view perched on her staff. She directed a gimlet gaze at Akane, Ukyou and Shampoo. “I’ve had to close the place down thanks to you delinquent girls. So, I think this would be a good opportunity to clean the bathrooms. I have toothbrushes with your name’s on them at the restaurant.” Cologne stopped talking and simply looked at the three fidgeting girls.
“But, great,” Shampoo started to protest.
“This is not a debate!” Cologne roared. The amount of volume produced was shocking, considering she hadn’t opened her mouth any wider than she normally did. “Move it, move it, move it!” she shouted as the girls broke and raced past her down the street. “You can come back to play with your friends latter, if you have the energy”, she called out after their retreating backs.
Ranma couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, but that died in his throat as Cologne turned her gaze on him. “I will thank you, student, to not lure my waitresses away, unless you want your next training lesson to involve the proper construction and care of latrines. A very important skill for a potential future leader.”
“Heh,” Ranma laughed weakly. “Sure, no problem. I’ll make sure they’ve done their chores before inviting them to play.” Then, he blinked, and asked, “Student?”
Cologne gave him one of her scary grins. “Just because I’ve accepted you won’t be marrying Shampoo, does not mean I’m about to let my investment in you go to waste. I have a great deal to teach you, student.”
“And the possibility that Ranma might just join the tribe as a result of that training has nothing to do with that motivation,” Nabiki drawled.
“I see someone finally gave you a much needed spanking Nabiki Tendo, are you so eager for another?” Cologne gave a sharp cackle of laughter as Nabiki flushed beet red and she poggoed down the street after the distant figures of her running staff.
The four remaining figures stared after the retreating figures, until Kasumi turned to the others and said in a cheerful voice, “So, shall we get better acquainted?”
