Nabiki looked up from where she was scribbling notes in her notebook while lying on the living room floor to see her younger sister clad in a new outfit.
"It is a bit short," Nabiki commented, going for diplomatic understatement instead of outright telling the girl that she could tell from her position on the floor that Akane wasn't wearing any panties.
"Kasumi made it for me. Don't you think that it looks like an authentic slave dress?" Akane wanted to know fishing for compliments.
The outfit did indeed look like it came right out of an hentai manga or anime. Something along the lines of Sex-slaves of planet-x or slave-princess of counter-earth. It consisted out of two very small pieces of black cloth that formed a very small vest and a very short skirt. The vest was so small that it only reached to Akane's midriff and that it could not quite be closed in the front. In fact there was no way to close it without performing a complete mastectomy first. A small chain connected two button holes held the vest as close as it got and kept the thing from fully revealing Akane's breast to view with every step or breath she took. The skirt was a simple affair that was just long enough to cover Akane half-decently as long as she stood completely still. The whole ensemble appeared to be designed for ease of access and quick removal.
"It is looks very nice on you, Akane," Nabiki brought herself to admit. "A bit skimpy and impractical perhaps."
"Kasumi said the same thing!" Akane complained. "But it is not like I am going to wear it outside. It is for wearing around the home. My master was disappointed that I didn't have a slave-girl outfit to wear around the house and he lets me decide what to wear at home myself so I asked big sister to make me this. Do you think he will like it?"
"I am sure he will be ecstatic," Nabiki soothed. "You said that you can wear around the hose what you like, does that mean that Ranma makes your wardrobe decisions the rest of the time. Was that the reason why you came to school with an extra bounce today and Kunou talked about heavenly vision when I got him to the nurse?"
Akane blushed.
"Yes, my master has to approve of everything I want to wear outside the house except for my school uniform and he didn't let me wear any underwear today. At home I am to dress at my own discretion, but my master expects me to dress sexily. I might have to dress in lingerie or go entirely naked to keep him satisfied. That's why I had Kasumi make the outfit so skimpy I didn't want to risk getting a spanking this soon," Akane explained.
Nabiki tried to digest this. It was hard to believe that all this willingness to do kinky stuff had come out two of the most uptight teens she knew with just a stupid lie as a trigger.
"Do you have to call Ranma my master all the time?" She asked angrily.
"Yes, that is part of the rules: When talking about my master to others I have to call him my master," Akane revealed.
"Interesting," Nabiki observed, thinking fast. "Those rules do you have them written down somewhere? Could you give me copy? It would be a shame if anybody accidentally put you in a situation where you have to break one of them and causes you to get punished."
Judging by Akane's blush she was considering the prospect of earning herself a spanking. A shame, indeed.
"I haven't written them down yet, but you are probably right, that I should. If my master agrees, I can give you a copy of that list later," Akane offered.
"Ask him for me please," Nabiki requested. "And it would be nice if you could also ask him to come to me with you after you have shown him your new outfit, there is something else I want."
Akane promised and went out to the doujou to present herself to her master.
It took them a while to get back and Nabiki had to wonder if Ranma had been inspired by Akane's outfit to make use of it's ease of access and removal features. They were sweaty enough, but they probably had just been sparring in the dojo.
"You wanted to talk to me," Ranma asked, interrupting Nabiki's speculations.
She gathered herself and tried to put on her usual not-really-all-that-non-threatening business-face.
"As you might have realized, Saotome, your decision to take Akane has your slave has caused quit stir at school. Many of your schoolmates are curious about your relationship and some rather bizarre rumors have already started to spread because of the lack of accurate information. As a service to the community and a sort of honeymoon present for the two of you I have decided to take on the task of setting those rumors straight at no extra cost to you. I am preparing an information package that I plan to distribute tomorrow at school." Nabiki gave the first part of her sales pitch.
"Rumors?" Akane wondered in concern.
"You want to sell information about us." Ranma concluded surprisingly quick on the uptake.
"Well I have to recover my outlays and expenditures for work and materials," Nabiki admitted before quickly focussing on Akane's reaction, "but this is really only in your best interest. You wouldn't want somebody to get the wrong idea about you two."
The couple looked unconvinced, so Nabiki went on: "I am really just going to publish some information about the paperwork I did for you, but it would be helpful if I could add some details of your personal arrangements. I will write down that Akane enter slavehood voluntary and that she is legally owned by Ranma. But there were people thinking such things like Akane having to call every boy or every free person master, or wondering if Ranma would be willing to rent his slave out and other stuff, that you might also want to have addressed to avoid misunderstandings."
This had the desired reaction as Ranma loudly protested such ideas and proclaimed his willingness to set the record straight.
"Perfect!" Nabiki exclaimed. "Now it would help me if you could answer some questions and if Akane could give me a copy of that list she was talking about and before I forget, I also need to take some pictures for the cover and the illustrations."
She picked up her camera and proceeded to prepare the photo shoot. Predictably Ranma had been still so enraged about that renting comment that he had nodded to everything she had said and was only now catching up to what he had agreed.
"Wait," he protested, "you want to take pictures of Akane dressed like this. You can't do that. This outfit hardly covers anything."
"Well if you want to convince people that Akane really is your slave," Nabiki told him, "she would have to dress the part. I guess Akane could always be naked in the picture, but some sort of slave-dress would be best. The school-uniform really would not work at all. It would also help if you could put her on that chain she wore yesterday. With Akane dressed like this and you holding her leash people will really believe that you are her master."
That seemed to have done the trick. Nabiki was slowly working out what buttons to push on this new Ranma.
And so the photo shooting began. Akane kneeling demurely in her slave dress. Akane standing at Ranma's side. The two hugging. Ranma holding the chain-leash affixed to Akane's collar while she stood a little bit apart. Various poses that emphasized their master and slave status and quite a few that showed of Akane's body.
Nabiki would have to crop out Ranma out of most of them If she wanted to maximizes her sales for her little illustrated brochure. But there were ways that would allow her to include Saotome openly.
She splashed Ranma with a glass of water.
"What did you do that for," the red-head demanded angrily.
"Well, I thought you wanted to make it clear that Akane was yours no matter what gender you might be. You wouldn't belive the speculations I have heard about that. Some saying that Akane doesn't have to listen to you when are a girl or that you reverse rolls or even that your female form is a slave girl, too," Nabiki told Ranma.
As expected it convinced the now female martial artist and Nabiki could shoot some pictures of mistress and slave that would likely prove very profitable.
