[Episode 135850] [Episode 135850]Nabiki was eating lunch with her family when Ranma abruptly returned. One second Nabiki was reaching for the tempura, the next moment Ranma was in the middle of the table and Nabiki's hand was full of the spirit's breast. Nabiki froze, unsure of what was going on. Ranma managed to swallow whatever response had almost been startled out of her, and shot up to the ceiling.
"... so Yuka needs to do better on the next test or her mom will ground her," Akane continued, unaware of the family's sudden visitor," and I promised to help her study. She needs me to help her. Can't I stay over for dinner?"
"I though you were mad at Yuka," Nabiki commented, reaching again for the tempura now that Ranma was out of the way.
"That was about clothes," Akane explained. "This is important."
"I suppose it's okay," Father said. "Just be back by ten, Akane."
Nabiki tuned out her father as he went on about an old friend and how they helped each other. She quickly finished the meal, keeping an eye on Ranma out of the corner of her eye as the redhead circled around the youngest sister. Of course Ranma wanted to look at Akane. Nabiki rose and walked back to her room, smiling to herself when Ranma followed. Nabiki was about to ask the spirit what she was doing here, when Ranma spoke.
"She's not better looking, you know."
"What?" Nabiki asked.
"Your sister," Ranma replied. "You're better looking than her. I mean, you've got bigger boobs and a nicer face and she's concentrated so much on strength training that her muscles are kinda bulky, not nice and toned like yours. Besides, I like short hair."
Nabiki blinked. She hadn't expected Ranma to suddenly come back and compliment her looks, especially not with such a blunt compliment. Well, seeing through everyone's clothes probably made one very comfortable with people's bodies. She smiled suddenly, that meant that Ranma's interest in Akane wasn't admiration; Ranma had been criticizing her sister!
"Well, I doubt you came here to explain how I'm the best looking of my family," Nabiki said warmly.
"Nah," Ranma answered, "I just noticed it when I remembered what you said before while I was waiting for you to finish. I don't know why I'm here."
"You don't know?" Nabiki asked, worried. Unexplained spiritual events rarely had positive outcomes, and Nabiki had already beat the odds once with Ranma's first appearance.
"Nope," Ranma replied, far too calm. "I just got splashed with cold water again, my curse activated like normal, and suddenly I was pulled here."
"And you've never been summoned when uncursed?" Nabiki asked.
"Nope." Nabiki started to have an idea of what might be going on, but it would be pretty fantastic.
"If you don't mind answering, what kind of spirit are you?" Nabiki asked.
"I don't know; I haven't been one very long," Ranma answered. Well, that confirmed it. Ranma was a young nature spirit, probably the youngest she'd ever summoned - they always knew what they were, at least. Young spirits must have a natural immunity to summoning, and either a real curse, or natural maturation, removed the redhead's immunity when exposed to cold water.
"I think I know what happened," Nabiki said, talking aloud as she reasoned. "When you're not cursed, you're immune to summons; when you're splashed, you're not. Before, I used short term summons, so they wore out before you got splashed again, but I used a week long ritual last time, so when your immunity is removed again, you return to my side."
"So I'll come back here whenever I get wet this week?" Ranma asked.
"Yes," Nabiki admitted weakly.
"Cool!" Ranma's exclamation was not what Nabiki expected. "Whenever Pop gets all windbagy I can say 'bye old man, I'm visiting someone interesting'."
"I'm glad you don't mind my little mistake," Nabiki said.
"Mind? If this week is nice, I might ask you to do it again.
"Forget it Old Man," Ranma said, upending a glass of water over his head. He immediately changed genders and the world changed around her. Ranma wasn't the one who agreed to fix that furnace, and she wasn't going to let the Old Man get her to do it.
When the world cleared around her, she was in a classroom. Some teacher was droning on in front of the class, and Nabiki was taking notes. When she didn't immediately notice Ranma's presence, she floated in front of the girl. Nabiki paused in her note taking for a second, then continued on, shooting Ranma a glance that she was pretty sure mean something. What it meant, Ranma had no idea.
Ranma had no interest in math, but she floated up near the ceiling, hoping the class would end soon. No such luck. She then investigated the other classrooms, but, unsurprisingly, all the teachers at the school were boring, too. Ranma returned to Nabiki's class. At first, she just made bunny-ears behind the teacher's head. It got no response from Nabiki. Rand then floated behind the teacher, pretending to speak. Ranma wasn't sure, but she might have smiled. That kept Ranma amused for a couple minutes, but she got bored again. She didn't come here for school; even fixing that furnace would have been better than school. Ranma wanted to talk with Nabiki, and she was barely reacting to Ranma. Well, she could change that.
Ranma floated near Nabiki's foot. She reached through the floor and slippers and began to tickle the bottom of Nabiki's feet. For half a minute, Ranma thought that Nabiki wasn't even ticklish, but then the girl twitched a little. That was all the encouragement Ranma needed. She began to tickle Nabiki all over her body, but Nabiki clamped her arms to her sides and the soles of her feet to each other, not giving Ranma easy targets. Well, Ranma would show her!
Nabiki was surprised to see Ranma in class, and tried to warn the redhead not to cause a scene. Things had been fine, amusing even, when Ranma was exploring or mocking the teacher, but now the spirit was out of control! Nabiki did her best not to laugh at Ranma's assault, and managed to deny her the easy tickle spots just in time. Once Nabiki really got started, she became ticklish on all of her body; when they were very young, Kasumi would take merciless advantage of this weakness.
Then Ranma started tickling the spot where her butt met her leg. Another hand started in on Nabiki's ribs. It wasn't long before Nabiki began twitching, then finally convulsing. It was all she could do to keep the laughter in check. Nabiki's wiggling displaced Ranma's hands, but that just made things worse. Ranma was lightly stroking her crotch and breasts, and it felt nice but she was a girl and it was still tickling which was horrible and if Ranma didn't stop she was going to pee in front of all her classmates...
As the school nurse rushed in, Ranma finally let up. Nabiki managed to regain control of herself as the Nurse helped her to her feet. As they walked to the infirmary Nabiki explained that she had never suffered fits before. Ranma trailed along, looking contrite. Eventually the nurse let Nabiki go after a promise to consult their doctor about epilepsy. Nabiki quickly made her way to the roof.
"Never do that again!" Nabiki shouted as so as the door closed behind them
"Sorry," Ranma muttered.
"Don't be sorry; don't do it again."
"I was bored."
"So you decided I needed to look like a medical emergency?"
"I was just teasing."
"Look," Nabiki sighed. "If we're going to be friends, that means we don't screw with each other, got it?"
"I," Ranma paused a moment, then continued, "I didn't think it would be so bad. I got kinda carried away." Nabiki stared at the spirit. She was looking at the ground, even twisting her foot nervously. Well, if Nabiki was right, Ranma wasn't especially old.
"Fine," Nabiki relented. "I've got the rest of the day off, what do you want to do?"
When night caught the Saotomes, they were between towns. As the weather looked clear, they ate some dinner, made camp, and went to sleep. A few hours later, a brief misting of rain fell. It wasn't much moisture, but it was enough to activate their curses. Ranma disappeared from Chinese countryside and reappeared, still asleep, in next to Nabiki. In her bed.
Neither girl awoke. Soon, without the grass under her, Ranma began to sink through the bed. Subconsciously she reached out and wrapped herself around the only thing she could use to keep from sinking further: Nabiki.
