His mother had been right, Ranma mused, some things did appear to run in the family. He slowly turned back towards the bathroom door wondering if the remaining Tendou girl was in as much need of a keeper as Akane had been and Nabiki apparently was — that and how Kasumi's naked form would compare to her sisters'.
Right then the subject of his thoughts opened the changing room door.
"So this should be all then," she declared hefting a bag of laundry. "Was there something you wanted to talk with me about?"
"Actually there was," Ranma began, "You know, how Mom always says that I could be master to more than one slave-girl...."
"And she has hinted that when Ranma is ready to take on another slave, he might want to start looking close to home," Akane added.
"And since I am already very satisfied with my one Tendou-slave, I should look first if there are not any other girls like her that could benefit from having an owner. And since it took Akane a great deal of effort to admit to her desire to be owned, we thought that we should ask around a bit to see if there is someone there who is just to shy to approach us directly," Ranma finished.
"You think so?" Kasumi asked. "Now that you mention it Nabiki has been acting a bit strange lately."
"We noticed," Akane admitted, "but we were actually thinking about another Tendou sister."
"Oh My!" Kasumi exclaimed.
"Yes, Kasumi, we were thinking about you," Ranma clarified before she could bring up Natsume and Kurumi or some Tendou cousin.
"Oh My!" Kasumi repeated. "I really don't think... I mean, I am not..."
"Relax, Kasumi," Ranma tried to calm her down, "nobody is going to force you into anything you don't want to be forced into. We just wanted to find out if you were interested."
"I guess I feel honored, but I really am not the kind of girl you seek," Kasumi assured him. "Nabiki has always been more at ease with this stuff than either of us, Akane. She has always been wearing the skimpiest bathing suits and openly talking about naughty stuff that would make me blush to even think about. And she has shown great interest in this whole slavery thing, don't you think?"
"Yes Nabiki has no trouble talking about other people's sex-life to embarrass them and she can get practically naked at the drop of a towel," Ranma confirmed.
"But that is exactly why we thought you might need a master, Sis," Akane told her.
"Nabiki has little trouble admitting and taking what she wants, but you seemed to be more like Akane here in that you have trouble expressing your desires," Ranma continued. "We think you might need help to free yourself from the chains that are holding you down. You said yourself that you have trouble talking about some stuff and that you are always wearing the most conservative clothing."
"I really don't think I am anything like that," Kasumi assured them sweating lightly trapped between the couple that was double teaming her. "I am perfectly fine the way I am and don't need any help expressing myself."
"But you are always so concerned about being proper and doing the right thing," Ranma said. "You could for example never allow yourself to wear sexy clothing or enjoy running around naked the way Akane and Nabiki do."
"I am dressing the way I do, because I like it this way not because I feel that I have to." Kasumi told them. "I could dress as improperly as I wanted to if I felt like it. I really don't need a master for that."
"Prove it, Sis!" Akane challenged. "If you really could dress however you wanted you could prove that by wearing some sexy outfits around the house at least where nobody would care about them being improper."
Kasumi looked at her sister in disbelief.
"You know," Ranma decided to add, "I think your blouse has gotten dirty and needs to washed too. If you really where as free as you claimed, you could simply take it off and add it to the laundry, but instead you will have to make the extra trip of going up to your room and changing first to preserve your propriety."
"You are being silly!" Kasumi exclaimed exasperated. "Fine then if I take off my blouse now would you believe that I don't need any help?"
Ranma and Akane nodded eagerly and Kasumi after some hesitation put down her laundry and angrily began to strip of her top.
"The bra, too" Akane quickly added.
The bra wasn't really dirty, but Ranma did not say anything it seemed that they had Kasumi on a roll.
With her upper body bare Kasumi stuffed her discarded clothing into the laundry bag.
"Are you satisfied now?" she asked them.
"Very!" Ranma admitted staring at her naked chest.
Kasumi was larger than her sisters, but her bosom still appeared to be firm and not unduly influenced by such thing as gravity. She hardly needed the support of a bra and it was a shame to cover these beautiful breasts up.
"You have nice tits, Big Sister," Akane concurred, "You should undress like that more often."
"I mean do you believe me now that I am really not in need of a master?" Kasumi clarified. "It looks like you really can dress improperly if you want too." Ranma admitted reluctantly.
"But this could be a fluke," Akane did not want to let go that easily. "To make really sure you could wear some sexy outfits for a few days."
"No nudity or anything in public," Ranma assured her," just here around the house and only until Happousai returns with our fathers."
"No nudity?" Kasumi asked carefully. "Just some sexy outfits and you would believe me that I really don't need a master?"
"You could wear bikinis or a cute french maid outfit or go topless like you are now," Akane told her.
"I can do that," Kasumi declared, "if that is what it takes."
"Agreed, you promise to dress down until the men return, and if you fail Ranma gets to collar you and turn you into his slave-slut," Akane said sealing the deal.
Ranma concluded that some things really did run in the family. Akane's actions right now reminded him strongly of Nabiki, although the cunning did not seem to extend to the oldest Tendou daughter.
"What?" Kasumi asked startled.
"Relax," Ranma reassured her, "you can do this, Kasumi. This is just to make sure that you really don't need to be enslaved. It is for your own good."
"I tell you I am not slave-girl material," Kasumi tried to convince him.
Ranma thought that she would have been more convincing if her breasts had not been bouncing around in free view as she said this.
"You never felt even the slightest need to submit yourself to somebody? You never felt excited at the idea of being helpless and tied up?" Ranma asked.
"No!" Kasumi almost shouted the vehemence of her denial setting her exposed assets in motion again.
"Good!" Ranma declared happily.
"Good?" Akane exclaimed.
"Good?" Kasumi wondered, too.
"Yes, good," Ranma explained. "It means that you can help me with my class. With Nabiki quitting as a teaching aid I need a new model for my roping lesson."
"Wouldn't Akane here be far better suited for something like that," Kasumi wondered honestly puzzled.
"No, my recent experiments have shown me that it can be very dangerous to leave a genuinely submissive girl in the hands of an incompetent would be master." Ranma revealed.
Not that he expected any of his remaining students to be as bad as Kunou had been. Akane gave him a strange look and Ranma realized that he would have to tell her about the incident in the dojo. Akane was his slave and everything, but he still feared her reaction. she would berate him for having been so careless and call him stupid again.
"You want to tie me up in front of your students?" Kasumi asked.
"Yes, but it will be carefully controlled so they don't take any unwarranted liberties," Ranma assured her then remembering her earlier reaction he added. "And there would not have to be any nudity involved. Somebody has to do it if we want to finish the course and a girl without any actual desire to become a slave would be best."
"In that case I guess I would be better suited than Nabiki," Kasumi agreed reluctantly, "If you will excuse me I have to go and do some laundry now."
