[Episode 136773] [Episode 136773]Ranma's knowledge about genetics was embarrassingly small, but he did realize that you were supposed to inherit traits from your parents, so he felt he should be able to make an educated guess as to whether Genma was his biological father.
Now when people thought of Genma it was his size, baldness, and glasses that people noticed. Well they also noticed his filthy clothes, and silly bandana, but they didn't apply. After all, what would people notice of Genma if he were naked as the day he was born?
Ranma was grateful, for the glancing blow to his head was successful in removing that image. But the blow was a sure sign he needed to concentrate on the fight. But he couldn't help thinking his build was more like Mr. Tendo's. "I wonder what he looks like without that silly moustache."
Finally, Genma slam dunked his son in the pond. Their fight ended with Genma the clear winner, and it wasn't even time to break for breakfast. Ranma left the bragging and putdowns from his father as fast as he could without looking like he was running away. Just as he was entering the house, Akane had returned from her jogging, and passing by the sopping pig-tailed girl, went into the kitchen to talk with Kasumi.
They both clearly heard him announce his intentions to take a nice hot bath, so Kasumi turned off the heat on the kettle she had started warming. While they clearly both wanted to continue the discussion about the night before, it wasn't a good idea with the fathers just out of earshot, so they engaged in an uneasy small talk, as they had to repeatedly avoid the subject they wished to discuss.
Meanwhile, Nabiki had been trying to sleep through the noise of the fighting, and cursing the fighters whenever she was coherent enough to manage. The peace from the cessation of hostilities washed over her like a balm. A glorious feeling of contentment.
That's when her alarm clock went off.
She stumbled out of bed, and kept stumbling to the kitchen for a beverage to help her wake up. Luckily she had done this every morning so she found her way safely, even though she was still half asleep. While she joined her sisters physically in the kitchen, her mind was still fogged and trying to separate the real world from her dreams.
Akane had suffered the pranks, wit, and teasing of her older and faster witted sister her whole life; only rarely besting Nabiki when it came to intellectual pursuits. But Akane knew Nabiki was never her best until she fully woke up; usually half an hour after leaving her bed. Until then she ran on autopilot, and she was particularly vulnerable to pranks.
And for the last day and a half, the fathers and Nabiki wouldn't let her forget that she had walked into the bathroom and flashed Ranma. Even Kasumi had commented on it, although in the least annoying way; Kasumi referred to it as if it were an unimportant event. If Kasumi had been completely silent, it would have screamed the fact that she was intentionally avoiding mentioning it; much like Ranma and Akane were.
So, getting a flash of inspiration, she stepped near her sister, and said, "Wow! You really need a shower before school."
Glaring at her jock sister for making a comment about her body odor, she mumbled something about "the pot calling the kettle black," and went to retrieve her bath things, and her school clothes to change into afterwards.
Waiting long enough for her sister to climb the stairs, Akane ran and hid the sign Ranma had propped on the bathroom door to indicate the bathroom was in use, and returned to the kitchen to await the fun.
Sure enough, the somnambulant Nabiki walked into the bathing room, ignored the head sticking out of the water, and sat down to wash herself. Ranma had been in this situation before, but the last time he had been standing, and facing the door, leaving his privates in plain view. This had apparently lead to a large amount of ribald comments; so when Nabiki entered, this time he submerged his body to the neck, while he waited for Nabiki to scream and leave.
Nabiki became aware of Ranma's presence, while she was lathering up foam with her hands to wash herself, just as Akane brought Kasumi into the bathing room to catch Nabiki. The flood of adrenalin to Nabiki's system flushed alot of the fog from her mind, but she was still unprepared to find herself flashing a nude Ranma while her sisters were watching. Kasumi! Kasumi would get her out of this embarrassing position with the least fuss and embarrassment!
But Kasumi said, "This is what we were discussing last night. You can see how Nabiki’s nipples are hardening. Are you close enough to see how the aureoles are crinkling? Blood rushing to the surface makes them much more sensitive now."
Ranma kept his mouth shut while he blushed.
Nabiki yipped, "Eeeep!" before diving behind Kasumi, accidentally mooning Ranma in the process.
Akane smirked. "Don't worry, Nabiki, it's common for siblings to bathe together. It's no big deal."
"Are you crazy? We don't know if he is a sibling, and we're both teenagers!"
"Oh! Then I guess it must have been your 'hormones ambushing you without warning,' like Uncle Genma said."
"Akane, you're not helping!"
And they were willing to discuss sexual topics, clearing up a lot of confusion his fathers and peers caused. Akane offered to be his friend! And she never called him a pervert. Maybe she'd be willing to help! How does Akane react when a male sexual innocent asks her questions?
