[Episode 116871] [Episode 116871]Attractive as Kodachi looked, it wasn’t her body that captured Ranma’s gaze, but rather the twenty foot bull whip she was shaking out of it’s coil and dangling it along the ground. Ranma’s face went a bit pale. He knew how deadly Kodachi was with a thin silk ribbon, what she could do with something as lethal as a bull whip didn’t bear thinking of.
As a result, as soon as Ranma saw Kodachi’s arm tense he went into motion, aiming at putting himself between Akane and the crazy girl with the whip.
Two things stopped him. The first was that he suddenly felt like he was running in mud as his body rejected the speed his brain was insisting it should travel. The second was that even before he started to move, Akane was dashing forward, straight at Kodachi.
Kodachi’s eyes opened in surprise. A bull whip was a dangerous weapon, but it needed distance to be fully effective, and before Kodachi could even begin to react Akane was well within that arc of danger.
Kodachi lashed out anyway, but the Akane simply shifted to the side without slowing her forward momentum. She barreled into Kodachi, not even trying for anything fancy, just using her solid body to force Kodachi backward so that when she slipped a foot behind the girl’s leg, she went down.
Akane reached out grabbed the whip near Kodachi’s hand, giving a jerk that caused Kodachi to turn slightly as she fell, so she thumped down belly first. Akane rod her down, driving a knee into the small of her back so that when she hit the ground the air was forced from her lungs leaving her shocked and frozen for just a second, more than enough time for Akane to pull her arm behind her back, wrap a loop of whip around it, and then repeat with her other arm, and both legs, leaving Kodachi rocking back and forth on her belly, shouting out promises of retribution and that Akane would be her slave one day.
“Really,” Akane said, stepping backward, and wiping the sweat from her brow. “You think she’d learn by now and give up this crazy idea.”
“Uh, yea,” Ranma said, staring from the bound and cursing Kodachi, to the nonchalant Akane.
“What’s the matter, Saotome,” Nabiki whispered beside him. “Cat got your tongue.”
“Hurry up, Nabiki. We’ll be late,” Akane said before Ranma could reply. She had walked around Kodachi and was entering the school gate. Nabiki shrugged, and started to follow her sister.
Ranma following after Nabiki, not really aware of the outside world at the moment. All he could think of was how badly he’d fumbled it, and how smooth Akane had handled it. It wasn’t that she’d displayed overwhelming skill, but she’d used what she did have very efficiently. Not at all like the bull in the china shop she usually was. She hadn’t even been angry, just a little annoyed. This wasn’t his Akane, that was for sure.
“Sorry, young master, no boys allowed,” a sultry voice broke into his thoughts. A large muscular girl, over six feet tall, and with a bo staff in her hands stepped in front of him, barring his way.
“Huh? What? Then where to I go?”
“Gate to the boy’s school is just around the corner,” the guard answered, pointing with her bo staff.
“Have fun, Saotome,” Nabiki said with smirk, walking past the guard. Despite her words and tone Nabiki was nowhere near as assured as she seemed. She suddenly felt incredible vulnerable without Ranma next to her. She had, as incredibly as it seemed, grown accustomed to her very revealing slave girl outfit, but she now once again very aware of how little it covered, and how easily she could reveal things in public that she very much did not want to.
“Nabiki! I don’t believe it! You did it! Oh man, you are so lucky! He was such a stud!” Nabiki flinched backward as a girl a little bit shorter than her, suddenly jumped in front of her and started chattering away at full speed.
Her discomfort only lasted a moment, till she identified the girl as Yuki, one of her friends, and ‘associates’. It seemed this world had that much in common with her own, and taking a chance, she asked. “How much did we take in?”
“We did great. Fifty-five thousand yen. No one believed you’d actually get a master, everyone bet that you wouldn’t even get the reserve, and would end up in detention for a few months instead of being sold.”
“Not everyone,” a perky voice broke into Yuki’s stream of words. A girl with long blue hair, tied back with a huge red-ribbon, stepped forward. “I always knew she had what it took. Which is why I wagered on you, Nabiki. Got my money, Yuki?”
“Right here, Miko,” Yuki said, taking out a wad of cash, and peeling off several bills.
“Oh, yea, now that will come in handy,” Miko said, tucking the bills down her cleavage, which was very generous. She suddenly stiffened, and her gaze took on a frosty look. “Mano,” she said, nodding toward a tall girl who’s brown hair was tightly braided and shaped into loops against the back of her head.
“Mido,” the girl answered Miko, her voice as frosty as the blue-haired girl’s.
“Still a virgin, Mano?” Miko asked.
“Still giving it away for free, Mido?” The tall girl asked in turn.
Neither girl answered, and both departed in opposite directions.
“Brrrrrr,” Yuki said. “I don’t know what you were thinking when you started up that pool on when those two would get it on. I think a better one would have been when they kill each other.”
“Huh? Oh, well, that’s why I’m the boss,” Nabiki said, covering for her ignorance.
A short while later, Nabiki walked into her classroom, a bit amazed at how normal it looked. Except for the absence of boys, it could have been her class back home. Well, except for the fact that she kept getting cold drafts across her bare bottom, and other parts thereabouts. But she was feeling a lot less self-conscious. All the girls who had talked to her on the way to class, and there had been a lot, had seemed envious of her status. Some had even asked her advice on the best way to land a master of their own. Nabiki made a mental note to work up a booklet, as soon as she figured out what she’d done.
“Ah, Nabiki-chan, welcome back,” a familiar voice said.
“Nabiki turned to see another familiar face from back home. “Thank you, Miss Hinako,” she replied, taking in the voluptuous body of the disciplinarian. Nabiki had no idea if this Hinako was a chi-vampire, but the riding crop she was lightly tapping against her leather mini-skirt indicated she very likely held the same job, that and the rather predatory way she was looking at Nabiki.
Hinako’s expression softened slightly, and she said. “I’ve discussed it with your teacher, and if you like, you may spend the day in the library, catching up on what you’ve missed, away from ‘distractions’.”
“uh, thank you,” Nabiki said, while inside she was jumping for joy. Finally a chance to find out something about this world.
Before Nabiki could leave, however, Hinako stopped her with one final question. Her expression now closer to something Nabiki might have expected on her junior body, Hinako asked. “How is that fine father of your’s these days. Does he have any plans to expand his household?”
Nabiki blinked in surprise. First the that Yumi woman, than the female Tofu, now Hinako, was every woman in this world eager to jump her dad’s bones. She didn’t remember anything in her wish about that. Trying to keep her thoughts off her face, she simply said. “Not that I know, Hinako-sensei. But I’ll be sure to let you know if I find out.”
Nabiki only barely stopped herself from adding, ‘for a price’. She was pretty sure she didn’t want to find out how this Hinako performed her disciplinarian duties.
“That is very nice of you, Nabiki,” Hinako said in a very glad voice, and then added. “I’ll hold you to that,” In a tone of voice that did not make Nabiki glad at all.
Nabiki headed for the library as quickly as she could. She really, really, wanted to find out more about this world before she got herself into who knows what sort of trouble.
