Deciding to get thier conversation with Kasumi over with, the first obstacle is to get rid of the fathers. Easily taken care for one of them. A fist full of yen and rumors of a saki sale have both men scrambling for the front door.
Bringing tea to the table, Kasumi eyes the two sitting across from her warily as she calmly measures, pours, and serves the hot beverage. "You wanted to talk with me?" She asked, keeping her eyes on her tea as she holds the fragile dish within her hands.
"Big sister..." Nabiki starts, only to fall silent in frustration. After all, how do you tell someone that you've been enslaved? Or how that was accomplished?
Lifting her eyes, Kasumi glanced at a calm Ranma before focusing on her sister. "Would you like to explain why you were... sleeping... with your sister's fiance?" She asked quietly.
Nabiki grimaced and glanced at her master, hoping that he would field that particular quesiton. Thankfully, he would.
"First of all, I'm not going to marry Akane." Ranma stated calmly, not shifting his eyes off the older girl. Instead, his eyes bore down on her much like a snake would stare at a rodent before striking. "We aren't compatible. All we do is fight, mostly over the stupidest stuff. She's possesive, jealous, and angry to much. Plus, she constantly over-estimates her skills."
"She's not that bad, Ranma-kun." Kasumi started to say before she was cut off by the young man slapping the table.
"Don't even try it!" He snarled angrily. "You KNEW her cooking was bad, and you didn't do a damn thing to stop her from shoving it down my throat! You KNEW what Nabiki was doing to me, and you didn't do a thing!" The pig-tailed martial artist glared at the older girl, forcing her to duck her head in submission. Calming down, he continued. "Akane has a lot of problems she needs to deal with. What with the two idiots constantly forcing us together, we lash out... usually at each other." He snorted before taking a small sip of tea. "Akane isn't ready for a relationship yet... probably won't be for years. So don't even try to patch things up like you've done so often in the past. It ain't gonna work any more. I KNOW that we'd divorce within a year if we got married."
Kasumi thought about it for a second before whispering her reply. "If our fathers knew that you were sleeping with Nabiki, they would switch the engagement over to her."
"Ain't gonna happen." Ranma stated flatly.
"Why not?" The oldest Tendo daughter asked, raising her eyes to glance between the other two.
Nabiki sighed and bowed her head. "He can't marry me." She whispered, her voice barely heard by her sister.
"I... I don't understand." Kasumi returned, her hands trembling. "You do... that... with him already. Why can't..."
Ranma cut her off in mid-sentence. "I can't marry my slave." He coldly stated, narrowing his eyes at the girl.
Kasumi felt her eyes go wide at the realization even as they darted back and forth between the two. Nabiki had her head bowed as if afraid to look up. Her hands were clasped together, resting on her legs. Ranma had both hands on the table, watching her with a stony expression, waiting for her to make the next move.
"Father..." She started, only to be cut off again by another slap on the table.
"Ain't gonna find out." Ranma declared. "She's mine and she's gonna stay that way."
"You... you... no..." Kasumi stuttered, shaking her head back and forth.
"Unless you wanna be number two, I suggest you keep this to yourself." The pig-tailed martial artist stated, glaring at the older girl once again. Her gasp and wide, terrified eyes were more than enough of a response. He also didn't miss his slave's wince when she heard the declaration.
Kasumi bowed her head and stared at her fidgeting hands for several moments in silence. "What about the pact to join the schools?" She quietly asked.
"Those two idiots destroyed whatever honor our families had long ago." Nabiki declared, still not looking up at her sister. She wasn't sure what emotions the other girl was displaying, but fear of rejection kept her head down.
"You got that right." Ranma snorted in agreement before sipping his tea.
Kasumi didn't say anything at first, but her fear had started to increase. "Why are you telling me this?" She finally asked.
"We need your help." Nabiki said, glancing upwards briefly to make sure that she had her sisters attention. "We have plans to secure our futures, but we need your absolute loyalty."
"You already have that." The oldest girl softly replied.
"No, we don't." The Ice Queen returned, shaking her head. "If we start using your name, then daddy and that fat fool will rob you blind. We need loyalty before family concerns for this to work."
"Nabiki says that you want to become a doctor." Ranma said, studying the other girl closely. "If this all works out, we could afford to send you to school. Maybe not the fanciest, but a good one."
"I could go and get my business degree." Nabiki added in a dreamy voice. "Akane could get whatever degree she wanted. Think about it, sis. Our dreams can come true!" She finished in an excited voice.
"Oh, my." Kasumi replied, staring at her sister.
"None of this means anything if our old men get thier hands on the money." Ranma snarled, turning his attention to the side for a moment. "They'd steal us blind and get us down to control us. Hell, they already have thier hooks into you." He laughed out loud. "I can guarantee that they don't want Akane cooking for them. No, you got that position pegged. Your old man ain't ever gonna let you escape."
"So... to get a better life... I have to become your slave too?" She asked quietly, closing her eyes while trying to control her panic.
"Naw." The boy waved his hand dismissively. "Just come up with a way for you to owe me your loyalty before anyone else." His eyes began to bore holes in her head from the intesity of his stare.
The oldest girl thought about it while finishing her tea. No matter how hard she tried, she could only come up with two solutions. Taking a deep breath, she raised her eyes to find the young man still staring hard at her. Shuddering a little, she forced herself to calm down by taking several deep breaths. "In order to place you above anyone else, I would have to be owned by you." She paused when she saw the slight disappointment cross the young man's features while her sister looked dismayed.
"I'm not finished yet." She continued, wringing her hands nervously. "This can be accomplished in two ways. Number one, I believe you're familiar with." She stated quietly, waving a hand in her sisters direction. "The other... the other way... is by marriage."
"Ah." Ranma replied, scratching his chin in thought. A quick glance towards his slave revieled her excitement over the suggestion. Looking back towards Kasumi, he watched as she sat patiently for his decision. Her weight was situated on her heels and knees with her hands placed demurely in her lap. Her head was bowed at the correct angle to show her submission to a dominant male.
He knew that he would have to get married sooner or later. After all, it was a condition to being 'manly' after all. Glancing at his slave, he knew that his mother would be excited at him bedding two women at the same time. Being able to keep the both of them within his power would ensure that she would have grandchildren to do with as she pleased.
Plus, he had to admit that he sort of got off on the power he wielded over his slave. She was willing to do anything as long as she felt protected, loved, and experienced orgasms that rocked her body like never before. He almost chuckled at the thought that her body was unable to experience the power of the orgasms he was giving her by itself. The old pervert might be useful, but he sure had some awsome techniques.
"Alright." He said, reaching a decision. "I think that solution to this is...
