[Episode 140406] [Episode 140406]Akane was also there to provide moral support for Kasumi and a visual reference for Ranma, but she was not contributing anything to the conversation since she was also gagged.
"Are you feeling all right so far," Ranma asked Kasumi.
The girl was now fully tied up with a harness made out of a single rope crisscrossing over her entire body in a diamond pattern. The intricate web clothed her, restrained her and served as an anchor to suspend her from the ceiling.
"I am fine," the eldest Tendou sister answered.
Ranma did not know if she should believe her. She had promised Akane to subtly find out if Kasumi showed any signs at all of being a potential future slave-girl.
"Are you sure that it doesn't chaff, rub or pinch anywhere? Do you feel apprehensive, anxious, aroused or awkward at being restrained like this? Do you perhaps feel a bit hot or cold without any clothes one? Does being helpless and exposed affect you in any way?" Ranma continued to question her.
"No, really, I am okay," Kasumi assured her. "I am as comfortable as anyone could possibly be under the circumstances. The position is actually quite relaxing once you get used to it."
Ranma was not sure, but she was almost certain that Kasumi was not entirely truthful with her.
Judging by her erect nipples Kasumi was definitely feeling either a bit too cold or a bit hot. And there was a hint of wetness where the knotted ropes were pressing into her bloomer covered crotch. Also Ranma had to admit that this might simply be a purely physical reaction to have something rub against her sensitive flesh down there and not necessarily a proof that Kasumi found being tied up erotically stimulating. If Ranma read her body-language right, as much as there was of it with her being unable to move her arms or legs, and correctly interpreted the special aura of desire that Ranma head recently learned to see, then Kasumi was at least slightly turned on by the proceedings. Ranma did suspect that Kasumi enjoyed showing off her admittably beautiful body, but that did not have to mean anything. Ranma liked to show off a bit herself. In fact she was currently working on Kasumi in the nude, teasingly giving Kasumi some provocative views of the small red-head's unclad body, enjoying the fact that Kasumi could look at but not touch, and Ranma was definitely no slave-girl material.
It was all a question of motivation. Akane liked how it made her feel exposed and vulnerable when Ranma ordered her to show off her body. Ranma liked things like the satisfying thunk of perverts walking into lamppost when she showed a bit of skin. Ranma was unsure what Kasumi's motivations were.
And her reaction to being bound was equally inconclusive. Kasumi was really relaxing and not fighting or struggling against the ropes or testing the strength of the knots at all. This could have been interpreted as evidence of Kasumi being a submissive girl who trusted Ranma very much and was just waiting to be enslaved.
Unless of course you knew the submissive slave-girl Akane Tendou who would be struggling against the bindings that restrained her all the time even when she was asleep. Ranma thought that Akane did not struggle because she wanted to break free, but that she struggled to confirm that she really could not escape and was truly helpless. It seemed to turn her on.
Kasumi was different. Ranma just did not know if she was different as in not a slave-girl or different as in a different sort of slave-girl. The aura was not much help here either.
Ranma had hung up Akane in the dojo next to where Kasumi was now hanging in hopes of using her for comparison, but that had not really worked out. Not only did they seem to be fundamentally different, but Akane's aura was also so blindingly bright at the moment that it was difficult to make any comparison at all.
Kasumi might be slightly aroused by what Ranma had done to her, but Akane was so turned on by hanging there naked, exposed, gagged and blindfolded that Ranma would have to get her off before he let her down if she valued her health. It must have been the fact that Akane could hear, but not see what Ranma was doing with her older sister. The rest was supplied by Akane's own imagination.
Ranma would have to do something about that.
"If everything is all right, so far," Ranma announced turning back to Kasumi, "then we will finish with a blindfold and a gag and let you hang here for a while to see if any problems come up."
Kasumi just nodded and obediently opened her mouth and closed her eyes to let Ranma work on blinding and gagging her.
Ranma made some Happousai like grabs for Kasumi's bosom just stopping short of actually touching her large exposed breasts, but Kasumi did not react at all it seemed that the girl was truly blind. Out of respect for the fact that Kasumi was still a free girl Ranma did not test the quality of her gag pinching or slapping her like he would have done with Akane.
Taking a step back Ranma viewed his work. Hanging there Kasumi at least looked very much like a proper slave-girl. She looked a bit more mature and dignified, softer and calmer than Akane, but the resemblance now that they were similarly exposed and tied-up was uncanny. The only major difference was that Kasumi was still wearing her bloomers.
Ranma thought she could remove Kasumi's only remaining article of clothing without disturbing any of the layers of ropes above it using one of Happousai's techniques to complete the picture. Kasumi was currently in no position to consent to such an action, but since she had earlier worn a costume that had shown off her naked crotch and the bloomers were so skin-tight that they did not hide anything Ranma doubted that Kasumi would mind much.
Viewing and comparing the two helplessly bound beauties Ranma wondered what Nabiki would give to get a picture of them. Would it be worth enough to her that Ranma could convince her to join them for a moment? Having all three Tendou sisters together in a similar situation would make if far easier to compare and contrast them and find out if Akane's sisters might share her secret desire to be enslaved.
Of course with the present state of Akane's aura any comparison would be difficult. Akane needed to calm down to normal levels first. A thought occurred to Ranma. With Kasumi unable to see what was going on and Akane unable to tell her, Ranma had now the opportunity and privacy to bring down Akane's arousal a bit to a level where her lust aura could be more easily compared to her sister.
Ranma felt that it would be wrong to take advantage of Kasumi's current helplessness, but that there were some things that she could do with a clear conscience.
