With Nabiki quieted down for the moment, Ranma went straight for the problem he had with her. “Kasumi told me you were trying to take advantage of her being tied up to set her up as a slave girl.”
It was at that moment Kasumi popped into the door frame behind Ranma, a leather collar visible on her neck. Suddenly swallowing nervously, Nabiki missed her chance to reply as Ranma continued in venting his annoyance. “You don’t betray someone’s trust like that, or do I need to tie you up so you can understand?”
Oh yes, that was going entirely in the direction Nabiki didn’t want it to go in. Seeing her sister wearing a collar however made her unsure just what to say to prevent her from being collared as well at this point.
After a moment, Ranma sighed as he let the tension flow out. “So this is all because you two were afraid of becoming my slave-girls?”
Ranma’s tone shocked Nabiki again as apparently Ranma found that to be a silly thing to worry about.
Ranma however turned the conversation to Kasumi. “I’ll let you suggest her punishment Kasumi so you can forgive her.” Pausing he turned back towards Nabiki. “I want you both to stop worrying about it though, the only way I’d force either of you into anything like that was if I had to punish you a bit because you’re misbehaving, but that’s just a session thing, not long term.”
That really didn’t reassure either girl about the subject, but Kasumi had already settled the issue in her own way. She did however think of something Ranma should know because he’d see it for himself as soon enough. “Ah, those magic slave tattoos. Nabiki and I, well, we have them. We’ve been worrying about them activating and turning us into slaves, which is why I’m a little relieved now.”
Confused Ranma turned around to look at Kasumi. “You were worried the tattoo would turn you into a sex-slave?”
Getting a nod from her, Ranma turned around and looked over a very uncomfortable looking Nabiki. “You got it backwards. The name shows up when you agree to being a slave. It doesn’t do anything but show the name. It’s based on an old magic loyalty tattoo that would show the name of your lord, because it’s magic and could change, it would change if your loyalties did.”
Sighing, Ranma sat on Nabiki’s bed, patting beside him for Kasumi to join him. “Well I guess that explains what happened to the tattoo supplies.” Pausing for a moment, he looked meaningfully at Kasumi. “You still want to be mine?”
Blushing lightly, Kasumi nodded her head gently after taking a moment to think. “I think I might like it, just not how Akane likes it.”
Smiling happily at her, Ranma turned a more somber gaze towards Nabiki. “Anything else you want cleared up before we decide your punishment?”
Mostly annoyed at herself for not finding out the facts about the tattoo, Nabiki couldn’t think of much else to gripe about at that moment. “You’re not going to make me a slave girl? Just one punishment?”
Nodding Ranma turned his attention back to Kasumi. “You get to pick it.”
