Ryuu grumbled, but Rouge and Natsume quickly herded him away, Kurumi and Azusa a step behind. Konatsu bowed and led Miho away as well.
"I suspect you have some ulterior motive for this," Cologne murmured, looking over Ranma and the seven remaining women.
"I do," Nabiki agreed, sauntering to Ranma, and sitting in his lap. "I wanted a turn."
"Hey!" Hinako complained, quickly cuddling up to one side of Ranma. "I want a turn!"
Shampoo was quickly at his other side, leaving the other girls to vie for position. Only Kodachi and Ukyou remained a short distance away, as Ranma found himself borne to the floor by a pleasantly comforting mass of adoring girls.
"Now," Kodachi said. "There is one thing that should be discussed ... if you're still willing, Ranma-sama."
"Yeah," he managed, while the girls on him relented, Nabiki remaining in Ranma's lap.
Akane frowned when Kodachi and Ukyou took up familiar positions on either side of Ranma, glomping onto his arms.... Then she realized that while both girls smiled adoringly, they were also hanging on fairly tightly. And it was quite similar to the way Konatsu and Ukyou had held her down earlier that same day.
She forced herself to calm; surely whatever hammer blow was to be delivered next couldn't be as bad as everything they had already endured.
"How should we say this?" Ukyou asked quietly, looking up at Ranma worriedly.
"Well, a certain measure of tact would be called for," Kodachi opined. "I suppose we should just--"
"Just tell 'em," Ranma sighed, slumping, now supported entirely by Ukyou and Kodachi. Nabiki looked confused from her position in his lap, and offered a peck on the cheek, which roused him enough to offer her a very wan smile.
"Okay," Ukyou said softly. "Um. So, you've got your list, Nabiki?"
"Right here," she replied, holding it up.
"Okay," Ukyou said levelly, giving Ranma a reassuring squeeze. "Put someone right before me the second time."
"Oh?" everyone near Cologne noised curiously.
"Who else?" Akane sighed, rubbing her eyes irritably. "Akari? Azuka the White Lilly? Well, Ranma? Who?"
"P...Pantyhose Tarou," Ranma wheezed.
Then Ranma seemed to collapse, and Ukyou and Kodachi captured Nabiki along with Ranma in their rush to embrace him.
Akane stared, wishing she had held her tongue in check. "Oh, Ranma!" she exclaimed, rushing forward to join the group hug. "I didn't.... Did he.... How?"
Kodachi broke from the hug long enough to explain, "Ranma-sama was less than willing."
"I'm sorry," Ranma gasped. "I tried...."
"Don't worry about it, Ranchan. We're still here for you. You're still our man," Ukyou said, kissing him on the cheek.
"Whom we shall love forever," Kodachi added, kissing his other cheek.
"No matter what," Nabiki managed, muffled against his chest, but managing to snuggle closer to him anyway.
"Through thick and thin," Akane added, managing to plant a peck on his nose.
"And we'll kick some fucking delinquent ass if he shows himself around here again!" Hinako added with vehemence. "Ranma's not for some boy to play with!"
"I concur," Kasumi agreed, pulling Ranma's head back long enough for it to rest in her cleavage while she smiled down at him pleasantly. "Will you keep me company while the rest of your wives take care of some small chores?"
"Buh..." Ranma murmured, as Nabiki and Kasumi clamped onto him, pinning him to the floor while the martially inclined girls climbed to their feet.
"Shampoo know what panty-monster look like in both shapes," the younger Joketsuzoku decided, producing her bonbori and whirling them once expertly. "She lead the way. Hinako-airen, you keep Ranma in place -- Airen too too strong for Nabiki-airen and Kasumi-airen."
"Right!" Hinako agreed, tackling Ranma to the ground as he escaped the grasp of the elder Tendo sisters. They quickly dogpiled him, his kimono coming undone as he landed. "Get him, girls!" she cried, looking back over her shoulder to Kodachi and Ukyou. "Get him once for me!"
"Same to you," Ukyou called back, grinning. "Back with some takoyaki and beef okonomiyaki in a bit!"
"Damnation," Cologne sighed. "Ranma, remain in male form until I return. If you girls are out for blood, I'll see too it none of you administer the final blow -- you're too young, and pregnant mothers shouldn't kill. Bad for the blood and the baby."
"Yes Grandmother," all of the girls sulked together, placing hands to their abdomens and smiling. Ranma twitched, while Nabiki yanked off his boxers.
"Gah!" Ranma managed, as Kasumi and Hinako began raining kisses on him.
With that, Ukyou, Kodachi, Shampoo and Akane were off, led by Cologne.
