[Episode 177633] [Episode 177633]Akane descended the stairs with clumsy steps while passing her hand by her eyes. She had just awoke a short time ago, the necessary to take a change and leave his room quietly, and she still was half asleep.
When she arrived at the ground floor, she heard noises coming from the kitchen, so she leaned out there with curiosity.
The cause of the noise was her sister Nabiki who, on all fours and with half of her body inside a closet, tried to take out a great pot. Almost all the collection of frying pans and pots of the Tendo were around her.
“Nabiki! What are you doing?” Akane asked surprised.
Surprised Nabiki raised her head, striking herself with the ceiling of the closet.
“Damn!” Nabiki cursed while Akane put a hand over her mouth to disguise her smile.
Nabiki stood up slowly while caressing the sore part.
“What what am I doing? I am making the supper!” Nabiki explained bitterly. “And with my luck it is just my turn when guests arrive.”
“Guests?”
“They are an old friend of dad and his son.”
Akane's expression darkened at hearing this. Nabiki noticed the change of humor of her little sister and, trying to play down the news, she added:
“Don't worry! They are strange but inoffensive.”
A shy smile returned to Akane's face.
“Well! Don't worry! When I finish bathing, I will come to help you.” Akane offered.
“That would be a great aid, thanks.”
“Don't mention it.”
Akane continued her way towards the bath and Nabiki looked through the drawers of the kitchen.
"And now, where is the book of recipes?"
A few minutes later Kasumi entered by the door of the garden, while Nabiki was looking at an old recipe notebook. All the things needed to make the supper were ready around her. At seeing this Kasumi asked.
“Isn’t it too soon to prepare the supper?”
Nabiki looked up of the book of recipes surprised.
“Eh?”
Kasumi smiled to catch her sister unaware and, repeated the question to her kindly.
“Isn’t it a little soon to make the supper?”
“I don’t know, I have never cooked for so many. What have I done to deserve this?” Nabiki complained while she closed the book.
“If you have a few hours I can tell you.” Kasumi joked.
Nabiki stuck her tongue out as her only answer, and began to prepare the supper. Kasumi smiled at Nabiki's buffoonery.
‘Look at her! That was so uncharacteristic of her before, that I can't believe it yet. The scheming Nabiki, so worried by the appearances and making money, that she didn't have interest in the housework.’ The smile of Kasumi vanished when she remembered the cause of all these changes. ‘Was so much suffering necessary?’ Kasumi shook her head to remove those thoughts from her mind.
“By the way Where is Ranma?” Nabiki asked while washed vegetables for the supper.
“After he showed me some of his techniques, he asked me if he could take a bath. I said that there wasn't any problem and...” Kasumi shut up at seeing Nabiki's reaction. She had stopped to prepare the supper and watched her surprised.
“Is Ranma in the bathroom?” Nabiki asked her with nervousness.
“Yes, Why?”
“Akane too.”
Ranma left the washbowl on the floor of the furo, while the water dragged the rest of the soap of his body. After he finished washing, he went to the bathtub to relax in the hot water. A luxury that he hadn't been able to enjoy since a long time ago.
Slowly he entered in the bathtub and let the heat ascended by his tired muscles. He was going to submerge in the hot water when he heard as the door was opened and, unconsciously, turned around to watch.
A girl, near his age, was in the door of the furo. One of her hands leaned on the door, while the other, crossed in front of her chest, held a towel that covered her crotch. That was her only cloth. Her short black hair framed a beautiful face, where precious brown eyes stood out. She was smaller than Ranma, but her body was well proportionate. Her well-rounded breasts, proof that she wasn’t a girl any more, hung like forbidden fruits. The rest of her body was suggestive curves before which Ranma’s body reacted of a natural way.
Akane was too surprised to move. Her mind, a collection of confused thoughts, wasn’t able to react. Nevertheless their eyes began to descend by the manly body; and, while a mixture of morbid fascination and fear shook her body, detected her enemy. It was half asleep still, but in the presence of its prey, it stretched. Immediately it began to get its strength back until it straightened up ready, a promise of stole pleasure and pain.
Ranma couldn’t avoid blushing when he found out what the young girl was staring.
Akane gave one step back striking herself with the sink. She didn’t dare to turn around reason why she began to feel her way.
When she found out her error, it was too late. The towel had fallen to the ground and her treasure was visible. Her enemy also had seen it. Its viscous saliva suppurated by its poisonous mouth with desire.
Akane, terrified, tried to flee, stumbled and fell to the ground. She was able to crawl behind the toilet where she remained whimpering and curled up.
Ranma was paralyzed, too much surprised to make other thing that observe astonished.
The door was opened violently allowing a scared Kasumi enter the bath. She found Akane immediately and, crouching down at her side, she tried to calm her.
Nabiki came in afterwards and, seeing that Kasumi already took care of Akane, she went to the furo. Without crossing the door she looked at Ranma’s eyes and ordered him not to go out until she said so. Then she closed the door violently. For a few instants Ranma observed the closed door, blinked and submerged in the bathtub. Akane had a lost look and didn’t notice the presence of Kasumi at her side.
“Look at me, Akane.” Kasumi requested in an attempt to attract her attention.
At seeing that she didn’t react, Kasumi placed her fingers underneath Akane’s chin and, smoothly, helped her to turn the head. When their eyes met, Akane finally recognized her. Kasumi, without turning aside her gaze even a moment, began to speak her reassuring.
“Nobody is going to hurt you. Do you hear me, Akane? You haven’t to be scared because nobody is going to hurt you.”
Akane slowly stopped trembling and nodded. Nabiki leaned in the door of the furo and observed in silence as Kasumi was able to tranquilize Akane only with her voice and her words, without daring to take part by fear for breaking the reassuring influence of Kasumi. She smiled at seeing that her sister got over her catatonic condition, anyway she continued talking to Akane with the same tone of voice.
“It only has been an accident. Do you understand? It was only an accident. He is a friend and he isn’t going to hurt you.”
“It only has been an accident.” Akane repeated trying to convince herself.
“Exactly. Nobody goes to hurt you. Moreover we always will be here so that nothing happens to you."
Akane began to cry alleviated. The crisis already had passed. Kasumi hugged her and let her sister wash away her pain with her tears. Meanwhile Nabiki meditated about what happened.
‘This is exactly that I feared would happen! Damn your promises, father! They only bring us more pain. Although I can’t blame anybody, especially Ranma; surely now he is asking himself what has happened and blaming himself for that reason. Ok! As soon as he finishes bathing I will speak with him.’
At this moment began to hear a weeping coming from the upper floor.
“It seems that Shinji has awaked.” Kasumi commented.
Akane moved apart from her sister’s hug and dried her tears.
“He must be hungry.” Akane indicated while she began to dress.
Kasumi, still knelt, watched her sister and asked her worried.
“Are you sure that you are well?”
“Yes, I am ok.” Akane answered evasively because she knew that it wasn’t true.
Kasumi knew that Akane hadn’t been totally sincere but she didn’t say anything. Once dressed Akane washed her face to clean the rest of tears; and after she dried herself, turn towards her sisters.
“Thank you very much, and sorry to worry both of you.”
“What are older sisters for?” Nabiki commented, smiling at Akane.
“Do you want help me, Kasumi?” Akane offered to her older sister.
“It will be a pleasure.” Kasumi answered with a smile.
“Do you want to come, Nabiki?” Akane asked.
”No, I have to do other things.”
“Ok.”
Akane didn’t insist because she feared that the answer reopened still fresh wounds. After saying goodbye, Akane and Kasumi left the bath. Once alone, Nabiki turned her head and stayed observing the door that separated her of the furo.
“Ranma when you are ready you can come out. I will wait for you in the corridor, so don’t be long.”
After saying so, she left the bath and closed the door at her back. Ranma left the furo quickly, since he understood that it wasn’t the moment to relax with a long hot bath.
His hands took his clothes absent-mindedly and put them on clumsily while his mind still tried to understand that had happened.
‘Who was that girl? The other sister whom Kasumi told me? Probably. But why was she so scared? I understand that she was surprised! Damn it! I was surprised too! And that wasn't the first time that I saw the body of a naked girl Perhaps she feared me because of the curse. Does she think that I am strange? ’
These thoughts saddened Ranma's mood. He watched himself in the mirror trying to see the monster that had scared her, but there was only an adolescent of sad face. Knowing that he wasn't going to find any answers, Ranma went out to the corridor. Nabiki was waiting him there, leaned against the wall.
“At last!” Nabiki complained although Ranma hadn't be long. “Come with me to my room. I will explain everything to you there with tranquility.”
Nabiki began to walk, followed by a crestfallen Ranma. Something attracted the attention of Ranma when they passed besides the opened doors of the living room, who raised his head to watch.
Akane, calmer, was seated next to the table with a baby in her arms. Her blouse was opened and with her left hand she approached her breast so that he could feed. You could see the pride that she felt reflected in her face. At the other side of the table Kasumi observed the scene smiling. Upon the table there were countless articles that Ranma didn't know.
Before that Ranma could say anything, Nabiki grabbed his arm and whispered to his ear:
“Come on!”
Ranma nodded, looked at the scene one last time and followed Nabiki. For a few moments neither spoke but when they started to climb the stairs, Ranma asked with curiosity.
“Who is that boy?”
“He is Akane's son.” Nabiki answered with tired voice.
“Her son! How can it be? But she is too young...” Ranma's surprise could be heard clearly in his voice.
‘Yes.’ Nabiki thought saddened. ‘She is too young. She mustn't be a mother yet.’
Ranma continued asking innocently, without realizing the mood of Nabiki.
“And who is the father? Doesn't he live with you?”
Nabiki, who had arrived at her room, opened the door suddenly with so much force that it bounce against the wall.
“Ranma! Akane was raped a little over a year ago.”
