[Episode 167122] [Episode 167122]Raising an eyebrow, Nabiki duly noted that Ranma left the bath without having a soak, though he was in there with Akane for a few minutes at least.
Deciding to check on her little sister, she slipped into the bath, only to find the pouting girl soaking in the tub. "Gee sis, you ran him out already? What, couldn't handle washing his back?"
Glaring at her middle sister for betraying her and setting her up to save her own hide, Akane snorted in a huff before answering. "It's not like that. He washed my back, gave me a massage, rinsed off and left. I did everything he told me, so shove it."
Putting her hand to her forehead in mock exasperation, Nabiki decided it was safe to mess with her sister a bit more. "Oh wow, you can't even get the basic slave-girl thing right. You're supposed to do stuff for him, not the other way around. If he's being too nice like that, you have to say it's your place to do that for him. If he tells you otherwise you call his bluff and tell him he can just go ahead and punish you, but it's a slave-girl's duty to tend to her Master's needs."
Seeing her little sister wasn't reacting much more than just staring into the waters, Nabiki decided to try nudging Akane into action. "Of course, it's perfectly understandable. Martial Arts is your life and you couldn't even handle him there. Obviously you're such a frail little girl, you could never satisfy him, he is after all at least twice the man of any boy in school. Heck, even in girl form he's probably more manly then them, right?"
Humming innocently to herself, Nabiki off-handedly continued. "I mean, I guess that's why he ignored you nude in the bath and went into the kitchen to be with Kasumi."
Smirking at the sound of panicked splashing, Nabiki prepared to watch the fun unfold.
Stomach grumbling, Ranma watched with annoyance as Kasumi flitted nervously around the kitchen. The older girl hadn't said anything nasty to him, but she kept shying away from him as if he were about to jump her and take her right there on the counter. Of course he could have just been wrong, some people like Ryouga treated him like a leper, as if being around Ranma would somehow infect them.
Either way, Ranma didn't particularly like that kind of reaction. He had over the years however figured out a way to deal with such people.
The first and easiest option was a simple insult, just telling the girl not to be so full of herself as he wasn't interested in her would definitely pop her bubble. Of course she might not look at him like a potential rapist after that, but she'd still probably not like him.
The second option he considered his 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' approach, though this version was suited specifically for dealing with girls that had their minds in the gutter. If she was going to spend every moment in his presence imagining all the naughty things he was about to do to her, she could at least fantasize in the proper frame of mind.
Moving so smoothly that it wouldn't be taken as an attack but quickly enough that the girl didn't have a chance of escape, he trapped her against the counter with a hand to each side of her. Gazing into her startled eyes, he made sure that he not only had her full attention, but telegraphed his own intentions as clear as day.
Then it was a simple matter of leaning forward until he gently kissed her on the lips.
Panting in shock, Akane slid to a halt at the kitchen entrance as she spied Kasumi and Ranma.
Unfortunately being dripping wet and clad only in a loosely held towel wasn't making Akane feel very confident in the presence of a perverted freak that could casually wipe the floor with her.
As such, she watched for a moment as the pair shared a deep kiss, allowing Ranma to pull away just far enough to gaze into Kasumi's eyes. For her part, the elder sister only gazed helplessly back towards her tormentor, a flushed blush coloring her cheeks.
Of course, Akane couldn't allow him to get his hands on Kasumi. Nabiki would have been a good sacrifice to the creep, but unfortunately Akane had already been chosen for the job. So as the pervert was whispering the naughty things he was going to do into the blushing Kasumi's ear, Akane bravely spoke up. "Hey leave her alone!"
Slowly looking over his shoulder, Ranma spied the scantily clad girl. Unfortunately the downside of this technique was with how other people took it, so reluctantly Ranma turned to face the irate girl. "Oh? You telling me what to do?"
His casual demeanor shook the youngest sister of her sudden confidence, reminding her that she didn't stand much of a chance fighting him. Knowing he was at least twice as perverted as any other boy she'd met, she didn't doubt for a moment he'd take both sisters at the same time, perhaps even forcing them to do perverted stuff with each other.
Worse, she was supposed to be playing slave-girl to him, though that thought allowed a course of action to form in her mind. "Don't touch Kasumi. If you're gonna get perverted with someone, leave my sisters out of it. Our deal is I belong to you right? Well that means you don't touch Kasumi, get it?"
Brow raised curiously, the pigtailed young man slowly made his way over to the towel clad girl, seemingly savoring each step. Then with a grin, he leaned down to look the shorter girl in the face. "Oh, really now? So, you're saying, I should have kissed you instead?"
Staring in surprise, Akane swallowed nervously before steeling herself for the inevitable and nodding.
Shrugging, Ranma leaned in for the kiss.
Struggling to keep herself still and take it with determination, Akane's trembling form eventually relaxed.
Then her hands drifted to his lower back as she loosely embraced him. That was the point when her towel drifted unforgotten to the floor.
Eventually his hands drifted to her nude rear, massaging her bottom for a moment to enhance the mood. Then he used his grip to lift her up a few inches, seating her on the counter so that they could kiss comfortably at a more even height.
That was the point when she reflexively wrapped her legs around him, and the watching Kasumi's blush went beyond merely pink.
Eventually Ranma decided he'd made his point and came up for air, leaving his victim breathlessly panting and mindlessly dazed.
Disengaging completely from the stunned girl, he walked out of the kitchen, casually calling back over his shoulder, "Alright then Kasumi, when the food is ready, she can bring it out to me if it's so important."
Seeing Nabiki's raised brow and curious expression, Ranma shrugged, answering in passing, "I'm a good kisser, okay? There's nothing wrong with that."
Smirking slightly at her own private joke, the middle sister piped up with, "Heh, I'll say."
Rushing over to pick up the discarded towel, Kasumi hastened to drape it over Akane's front and restore some modesty to the girl. Unfortunately her youngest sister was still lost in her own little world, apparently unaware that she was nude with her legs so wantonly spread. "Akane-chan! I don't care if you are playing slave-girl, this isn't very proper...and not on my counters, now I have to scrub them down."
Fortunately, hearing her sister's panicked scolding brought Akane back from the land of the blissed out.
Unfortunately, as soon as she got her wits back, she found herself more embarrassed than she had previously thought possible.
As a result of Genma's meddling to make Ranma more manly, he was a bit different.
In addition to the duplicate plumbing, Ranma's male form was a bit taller and more cut than he would have been otherwise. He wasn't quite as tall as Kuno, but he was noticeably taller than Kasumi. He still had a sleek physique, as he had luckily not been over developed as if he abused steroids.
His female form, in addition to the extra plumbing not found on girls, was also taller than she would have been. Instead of being shorter than Akane, she was between Akane and Nabiki in height. Her legs were proportionately longer and overall she had the sleek body of a gymnast. Of course, she still maintained the proportionately large breasts that a gymnast wouldn't have, though they appeared even larger as they were now overly perky and out-thrust. Her nipples and aureole were also a bit larger than they would have been, always poking prominently out from her shirt.
Ranma was considering getting some tight stretchy undershirts for just that reason. His female form was overly perky in the chest, something that brought Ranma attention he didn't like. He'd seen sports bras and found them suitable to the task of keeping his female form in check, but needed to find something shaped more like a muscle shirt to look right on his male form. Sadly, Genma, in his rush to get to the Tendou's had not let him do enough shopping to find something suitable.
There were other differences, though they were in his character. Without his curse of excessive manliness, Jusenkyou and the Tendou house would have been the first time he'd faced such rejection. Instead he'd faced it quite a bit before, particularly the last time he attended school. Being known as the 'two horned demon' and facing constant attacks by people like Ryouga that had wanted him to leave their school had toughened him up a bit.
Then of course, there had been the girls.
With everyone gathered in the family room as Genma and Ranma ate their late supper, Genma prepared to regale the girls a bit with the parts he left out of the story.
Akane and Kasumi were still blushing, though Akane was blushing the most. She also wouldn't meet anyone's eyes after catching Nabiki's knowing smirk once too many times.
Ignoring the undercurrents going on with the children, Genma sadly spoke up with the sound of someone long suffering. "Unfortunately, the excessive manliness of my son had other side effects. I never figured out how, but the boy was always attracting girls. They'd just pop out of the wood work at random times it seemed. That's why the boy knows how to handle girls so well, which I am rather proud of. To protect our agreement, I tried to break them up whenever I could and moved Ranma around often, but it kept happening no matter what I did."
Grinning in amusement, Nabiki openly poked a hole in his story. "Yeah, so if he's irresistible to girls, what happened with us?"
Nodding sagely, the sometimes-panda spoke up. "Ah well, that's why I don't understand it. It's not just any girl. There have been times I've needed to distract a girl, only to find out she's not the least bit affected. Then I'll turn around to find some girl has dragged off my son once again. It's frustrating and the disrespectful boy won't tell me the secret of it."
Shrugging and looking innocent, the boy in question off-handedly replied, "Ah there's nothing special to it, we just like each other is all. That's how boys and girls normally get together.".
Frowning at his son, Genma slowly berated him for lying so openly. "Don't feed me that boy. I've seen girls in towns we haven't even been to, girls that I know you don't know, just waiting for you."
For his part, Ranma looked smug, even as he jumped up to dodge his father's attacks.
