Ranma had decided to start the day with a training session by Mistress Severa. Thanks to Kodachi's arrival they had not done any training last evening. Ranma rationalized that changing around Akane's routine would keep her from falling into a rote and teach her to be more flexible, but the real reason was that Ranma was looking forward to working off some of the Kodachi-caused frustrations on Akane.
As Ranma still in her Ashes disguise led Akane down the dungeon corridor she could hear a door open behind them. She tried to get Akane to hurry up, but Kodachi had already seen them and rapidly caught up with them and invited herself along. So much for getting rid of frustrations.
Once they arrived at the gym Ranma left the girls in locker room and quickly made for her own changing room. Getting ready for gym took a bit longer for Ranma than for Akane who just had to get naked. The skintight leather of Mistress Severa's costume was hard to get in and out of, but at least Ranma's changing room had a nice view.
Through a two-way mirror Ranma could normally watch Akane's stretching and warm up exercises while she struggled with her costume. It usually helped her get in the right mood for playing the naughty and forward Severa, but usually Akane was alone in the gym bending and stretching in the nude.
A voice could be heard complaining in the distance: "...I am aware of the etymological roots of the word gymnasium, but I see no reason..."
It sounded like Akane was trying to explain her training outfit to Kodachi.
The voices got to quiet to understand for a while until the two girls entered the gym.
"... just try it, it's just us girls here and I promise you, you will feel really free and unrestricted," Akane was saying in a tone that indicated that she had just won an argument.
"I feel naked," Kodachi simply countered.
And as Ranma looked up she could see that Kodachi was feeling naked because she in fact was.
Ranma did not want Kodachi to be naked if she had to attend the training at all. A naked Kodachi would just distract Ranma from his task of training a naked Akane. Ranma tried not to look at just how distracting Kodachi could be as the girls began warming up.
While Ranma concentrated on getting into her leathers, Kodachi naturally gravitated to the area of the gym that was set up to accommodate gymnastics and ballet. She did a few stretches on mat that showed of her flexibility, before she came to stand next to the mirror.
The way she speculatively compared the section of the mirror that Ranma was hiding behind with the rest made Ranma fear that she had been discovered, but after a moment Kodachi continued as if nothing had happened.
She stretched for a bit posing in front of the mirror, before she put one slim foot on the ballet railing running along the mirror.
Ranma had to stifle a gasp as she saw the view that Kodachi's actions offered her. She could not help but notice that Kodachi was really flexible and that her pubic hair, too was as shaved completely.
Ranma watched fascinated besides herself as Kodachi did various stretches with the help of the rail. When Kodachi turned sideways and brought one leg up in what almost was an 180° standing split Ranma almost forgot to breath in shock of the new perspectives opening up before her.
"Just us girls," Akane had said. The poor naive girl. Kodachi had quickly deduced the real reason why Akane had been indoctrinated to exercise naked.
The section of the mirror wall that Kodachi was standing in front of was sure to be a two-way mirror. And Kodachi would bet that the person sitting in the darkened room behind the mirror was none other than the prince.
Kodachi was playing along for now and was using the opportunity to show of what she had to offer without appearing to be a tramp. If she wanted to supplant Akane in the prince's affections, Kodachi would have to make a good impression.
Her posing was interrupted as Akane's trainer entered through a side door. Akane had told her about her 'Mistress', but Kodachi had assumed that this was just the usual half-joking attitude that any student had towards a demanding instructor.
Seeing the woman now Kodachi realized that it had been a bit more than that. Severa was clad from head to toe in skintight black leather. The only area not covered by her suit was her face and that was hidden mostly by a pair of dark glasses and a black veil. She looked imposing and intimidating. Standing in the middle of the room she exuded an aura of danger and sexuality.
Kodachi stared in fascination. The items displayed in the utility-belt slung around Severa's hips indicated that descriptions like cruel, sadistic and perverted had perhaps not been exaggerations on Akane's part.
"I see you have brought a friend, little one," Severa spoke, "are you afraid of being alone with me?"
Before Akane had a chance to answer her Severa directed her attention to Kodachi. And as she felt more than saw Severa's eyes roaming over her body and sizing her up Kodachi became acutely aware of her nakedness. She had to fight the urge to cover herself with her hands and tried to return the stare.
"This is training for Akane," Severa finally said "I don't have the time to waste on training another girl, but you can stay and watch if you want. As long as you can keep silent and out of the way you can attend my lessons to give your friend moral support."
"I would not dream of hampering my friend's training by interfering in your instructions," Kodachi quickly assured her, "perhaps I could even help and assist you, Mistress Severa."
Kodachi watched anxiously as Severa seemed to consider her offer. To their side Akane was fidgeting and looking rather nervous about the prospect of gaining Kodachi as an assistant coach. Severa slinked over to Akane and put a calming hand on her shoulders.
Finally she reached a decision: "Fine, you can help me train Akane, but you will have to follow my rules and do exactly as you are told. I won't tolerate disobedience."
The last remark was punctuated by a slap on Akane's behind as the girl had been about to offer her own views on the subject.
"Yes, Mistress!" Kodachi agreed smiling.
Kodachi was happy. Mistress Severa was everything Kodachi had always tried to be: sexy and alluring, strong and dangerous, respected and in control. Helping Severa teach Akane was an apprenticeship with a mistress. The dangers that Akane had told her about now sounded more like job-perks to Kodachi and Severa's warning about not tolerating disobedience almost felt like an invitation to Kodachi to see just how far her tolerance would stretch and what the consequences of overstretching it might be.
When Ranma saw the smile on Kodachi's face she felt like slapping herself. The plan had been to get rid of Kodachi not to involve her further. It was Akane's fault; had the girl not looked so uncomfortable at the idea of Kodachi serving as an assistant trainer, Ranma would never have agreed to it. Now it was to late to take it back without loosing face.
Ranma would have to make the most of it. There were plenty of demeaning jobs for Kodachi; fetching towels, lugging around weights and setting up machines. This could actually work out in Ranma's favor. If Kodachi did all the dirty work, Ranma would have more time to concentrate on Akane. And if Kodachi got to annoying Ranma could always tie her up and use her as a counterweight for one of Akane's exercises.
Ranma tried to banish the last thought. This was all about Akane, thoughts of naked, hog-tied lunatics were completely wrong and bad.
To distract herself from the various uses for Kodachi that her imagination was offering Ranma decided to start the training.
"We will start with sit-ups," Ranma announced, "Kodachi you hold down Akane's feet."
She was answered with a chorus of "Yes, Mistress!"
Akane laid down on her back and Kodachi stepped over her positioning one foot on either side of her thighs facing in the direction of her feet. Then instead of kneeling down, Kodachi simply bend over at the waist and took hold of Akane's ankles.
Ranma suppressed a groan. In addition to showing off her flexibility the move also showed off Kodachi's crotch and rear. The naughty grin on her face told Ranma that Kodachi knew very well what she was doing and that presenting Severa with a view of her shaved pubes and pink rosebud was her intention.
But Kodachi's triumph was short lived. As Akane began her exercise each sit-up brought her face almost directly in front of Kodachi's privates. And every time Akane exhaled with a grunt and counted out repetitions while sitting up her hot breath washed over Kodachi's crotch in front of her.
Kodachi soon began squirming, but she was to proud to admit her miscalculation by repositioning herself.
Judging by her blush Akane was deeply embarrassed by her situation, but she too was determined not to show weakness by complaining.
Ranma meanwhile had decided to let the two girls suffer for their stubbornness for a while. They clearly deserved it for encouraging her perverted imagination like that.
It looked like it would be long training session for everyone.
