He wanted them to get frustrated by events beyond their control. He wanted them to experience being considered a pervert for something beyond their control. He wanted them to know what it felt like when their bodies betrayed them, as his did whenever he was splashed.
He had a vague hope that it might end the "Make Ranma fix it" attitude by giving them problems they knew he couldn't fix. And he also wanted to end the idea Nabiki and Kasumi seemed to have, that the insanity he lived with didn't affect them, so they could treat his life as if it were a source of entertainment.
Well with a bit of luck, no one but family need ever know of Kasumi and Nabiki's problem. It needn't affect their reputations at all. And if it weren't for the embarrassment, and the pointless worry that she might suffer an attack in public, Kasumi might enjoy her daily seduction and ravishing by her subconscious.
Her daydream lovers were after all designed by her own imagination to be as pleasing and pleasurable as possible. And while she was constrained against always having her lover ravish her the way she preferred, she was forced to experiment and experience methods she'd be too shy to ask for.
It might just be the making of her, being made once a day.
The punishment lay in the way others could watch and hear her; and having to face her family serving dinner suffused with a post coital glow. The punishment lay in the risk that someone could easily sit back and watch her in the throws of passion. Her punishment lay in the inevitability of her sessions being interrupted by emergencies, and the inevitable extreme arousal endured during the emergency.
Nabiki's was a little more straight-forward. The woman known for ruthlessly exploiting the weaknesses of others now had a dirty secret she'd been keeping from her family.
Sure, she could let them know, and they didn't dare try to take the moral high ground against her, with all of the kinks and problems each of them had. Except that all of them believed she had been doing that to them for years.
And in spite of Ranma not having thought it through, it was quite like Nabiki to have done that. In order to keep people wondering if the last Tendo had a perversion, and perhaps investigating until they found it, her mud slinging directed attention away from her.
And all that mud had to hit someone. Nabiki, more than anyone else, dreaded the idea that her perversion might become public knowledge. And of course her chief victim, Ranma, knew about it.
Ranma had no intention of trying to blackmail Nabiki, but he would use it to insure that he was free of her future schemes. But for that to happen, she had to be aware that he knew something.
Since he knew what Nabiki was up to, it should be possible to follow her to where she was dropping off her panties without her noticing. Then he could make a guess to her path home, and 'coincidentally' bump into her near her buyers. And when she varied her buyers and still found Ranma nearby, she'd know he knew something.
And while she was trying to pump Ranma for information on how much he knew, he would drive her crazy by saying nothing. For a change, he would have the position of strength in the conversation with Nabiki.
And as an added bonus, on those days when she hadn't time to get a second pair of panties, Ranma would be walking her home while she wasn't wearing any. And during that time, she'd be getting horny. And Ranma could watch the ice-queen try to deal with all of this at once.
The other three had actively made his life hellish. His revenge on Soun was intended to make him feel less proud with himself. His 'Father knows best' imitations, where he dictated to everyone else except Genma, infuriated Ranma. Having to do something scatologically distasteful might lessen the number of those.
Besides, his insistence that his family follow samurai-like obedience to the head of the house would be severely undermined. During the samurai era, jobs involving death and offal were given to the lowest of the peasants to form the Burakumin class or caste, and their descendants are shunned to this day.
And while nurses weren't shunned for doing whatever was necessary, voluntarily playing with your bowels for pleasure was drifting into dangerous grounds.
Ranma had considered all of that before beginning his punishment. What he hadn't considered was the possibility that constant and regular enjoyment of playing with his anus might lead Soun to actually fantasize about anal sex; probably with a woman responsible for sodomizing him with an artificial penis, and possibly eventually fantasizing about a man.
Luckily, Genma would never be involved with Soun's predilections, for Genma was effectively a eunuch. Like a man, whose prostate was removed because of cancer, he was unable to get an erection.
And if he ever were arrested for indecent exposure, he'd be the lowest of the low among his fellow prisoners. Among the sex offenders, who had taken a risk to do what they wanted, the man who waves his winkle at women and then runs away are considered fair target for everyone else. Everyone else knew how to use their manly equipment, but the flashers were the equivalent of the six year old boy who wants to play doctor, but runs away in embarrassment once his trousers are off.
Since he was such a good martial artist, he wouldn't be in any danger from the other inmates, but he'd probably never get any respect. He'd be the equivalent of the jay walker in the repeat violent offender's wing.
Finally we have Akane, a girl who's proved on more than one occasion that she'd prefer to hit him than to face public embarrassment and gossip.
Ranma had been faced with embarrassing situations all of the time due to his engagement to Akane and due to his curse, but he hadn't been taking it out on her. Maybe if she were unable to use anyone as a scapegoat or distraction, it would help her behave better.
Ranma was looking forward to the "harmless" embarrassment when her family would catch her before she went out in public, as well as seeing how long she could go when they didn't notice her predicament.
After all, Ranma would know if she was due to spend the day without an article of clothing. And if her family didn't notice it that meant she must have forgotten something they couldn't see; likely her bra or panties. Her family might notice her lack of support and stop her from leaving the house without a bra, but they'd never stop her leaving without her knickers.
There might be days when she forgot to wear an optional item of clothing, like nylon stockings, and leave the house decently dressed. But these days would be amusing too. Because no one could notice she forgot her nylons she'd go the whole day without. And because she was missing an article of clothing her level of arousal would grow without let or hindrance.
And Ranma could quietly watch as the prude became hornier than the hentai horde at a lingerie fashion show. He doubted she had ever before given herself relief anywhere besides within the safety of her home,
And the Master's Way was full of suggestions of things that looked innocuous that could be done to highly aroused young women. Not that he had planned to do anything, but the option would be there.
The night before, Kasumi experienced the first effects of Ranma's meddling. Ranma hadn't anticipated that his command to Kasumi might consider the period where she was trying to drift off to sleep as daydreaming. He was still debating the pros and cons of fixing that.
No one else knew the details because no one entered Kasumi's room, but apparently she had come back to herself to find herself still dressed, albeit disheveled, in her nightgown and panties. She was lying flat on her back on top of her bedding, clutching it in two white knuckled fists. Her legs were spread over sixty degrees apart and slightly bent at the knees. Her screaming out the name "Jiro-kun" was ignored by her family due to a false feeling of familiarity.
Unbeknownst to everyone except Ranma this was the first time it had happened. Kasumi had had her first dream of having a lover seduce and fuck her to orgasm. And none of her future lovers could rely on using the straightforward boring missionary position.
This morning, Ranma finished up his sparring with his father early, and rushed to the table to watch the festivities. Soun was trying to read the paper, shifting as if his seat were uncomfortable. He was suffering the shortage of enemas in the house. Like a cigarette addict trying to quit, he couldn't go more than a few minutes before remembering he wanted an enema, and that there weren't any on the house. He wouldn't last until Kasumi did the shopping. As soon as he could slip away quietly after breakfast, he was going to go out and buy some more.
The scream from the kitchen, "More! Yes, Atsushi-san! Yes!" indicated they'd missed another episode. It did serve to wake Nabiki out of her somnambulistic approach to the table.
"She's never going to get a boyfriend that can live up to her imagination. Sometimes I think all she'd need would be a hot water bottle and a sperm donor and her future husband could go hang."
Soun objected, "Of course she'll eventually marry!"
"The only way you'd get her married is if she had a boyfriend who could keep up with Atsushi-san in there; and you know she's still a virgin. If she wants to marry she'd have to try out her husband beforehand, and she wouldn't do that."
It looked like Soun wanted to object, but that would have meant discussing further the likelihood of Kasumi having premarital sex, so instead he shut up, and let a smirking Nabiki enjoy her victory.
That was when a perfectly dressed Kasumi brought in the rest of the breakfast dishes. The only evidence of her earlier activities was a flushed face, and a languid glowing smile.
Soun gave no indication of seeing anything besides the food.
A smiling Genma entered the room. When he reached for his belt, all eyes in the room fastened onto the table, and studiously ignored the sound of his trousers hitting the floor.
When no one bothered to react, or look up he asked, "Has anyone seen my penis today?"
"Well, where did you have it last?"
When Kasumi's comment made Nabiki snigger, Genma reluctantly reclothed himself.
That was when Akane showed up dressed for school. The white blouse and demure jacket combination brought into sharp contrast her lack of a skirt. The way her button-down blouse spread open after the bottom-most button, and the fact that it was way too short for the task meant it concealed almost none of her light blue panties. Her cute white socks at one end and her demure clothing on top made it look like she intended to be showing off her long bare legs.
Nabiki was the first to think of an appropriate response, a devastating comment, but unfortunately it would have been too obvious. It probably mentioned outright that her skirt was missing. Since none of the family were allowed to make such comments, Nabiki was caught throwing out her first few choices, and Soun managed to make the first comment.
"Akane, do you notice a draft?"
Akane looked at the huge opening in the wall which lead from the engawa to the yard, and back at her dim father and answered, "Yes?"
Kasumi offered, "It's just that the lower limbs are stripped of foliage, leaving them bare."
Akane looked at the tree by the pond. "I don't see it. But if the tree is missing leaves, it's probably due to our guests fighting around it every day."
At this point, Genma had produced a top hat and a cane, and began dancing, while singing, "In olden days a glimpse of stocking, was looked on as something shocking. Now, heaven knows, Anything Goes!"
The audience's response of a glass of water left them with a silent soft-shoeing panda doing a dance number with the hat and cane.
Nabiki finally found an appropriate comment. "Sis, I doubt you can succeed in killing Kuno by making him drown in his own nosebleed."
"What are you talking about?"
"Anything Goes Pervert Baiting?"
Ranma knew this would likely continue until he ended it. His commands made Akane unable to understand her family's allusions, and her family was restricted from making obvious responses. Ranma carefully restrained his expression until he could suppress all trace of his amusement and made himself appear angry while he delivered the line he had prepared since last night. "Akane, stop behaving like a pervert and put your skirt on! We're going to be late for school, so hurry up!"
Of course mentioning the skirt explicitly was the trigger for Akane's sartorial obliviousness to vanish. She was sitting down for breakfast in her knickers and had just been yelled at by Ranma using all of the phrases she used to use on him. In a swamp of unpleasant emotions she ran to her room to finish dressing.
The rest of the family ignored the panda's changing dance routine, and his signs reading, "BLUE MOON - You left me standing alone"
