Nabiki was many things at the moment.
“Oh my, they have such a nice selection of bondage masks,” smiled Kasumi.
Happy was not one of those things. Apparently, of all the adult supply stores in Nerima that they could have gone to ... only the store she used was still open.
What did I do to have the Kami so pissed at me?
Nodoka was smiling like a child at Christmas, as she moved around the shelves. “I’ve seen stores in Tokyo Proper with less merchandise. The owner should be very proud of themselves for offering such a wide variety.”
“We try,” smiled an elder woman with dark yellow hair. She was around her late thirties, long hair in a loose braid, and quite attractive; not the usual person one expected to run an adult entertainment store. “Sachiko,” she said, offering her hand to Nodoka.
“Nodoka,” said the happy mother.
“Do you offer any collars?” asked Kasumi.
“We also do engravings for the tags,” smiled Sachiko.
“Oh,” she said, turning to Nabiki, “we received those orders you wanted. Would you like them now, Nabiki-chan?”
Nabiki gulped, slowly nodding as the other two slowly began to stare at her.
“Nabiki,” said Nodoka, her voice colder than before. “While I understand you not wanting to broadcast the knowledge of such a prime retail business to those who might wish to shut down such a place on supposed morality issues, to not tell us... Now that is just wrong, young lady.”
“Why did you lie to us, Nabiki?” said Kasumi, sniffling slightly. “I thought we told each other everything.”
“I must say you are not proving yourself very well as a contender for my son,” sighed Nodoka. “But don’t worry, we will fix this.”
Nabiki paled even more. Why is this happening to me?
“Oh my!” shouted Kasumi in excitement, holding up... “Do you have this in a mint flavoring?”
Sachiko looked over. “Hmm, not in the bra and panties set. We may have them in the panties only, at the moment. I can see if our suppliers offer it though, and we can special order it.”
“Please do,” said Nodoka.
“Um ... Auntie?” asked Nabiki.
“Yes?”
“How do you plan to pay for all of this?”
“Oh that,” said Nodoka, looking over some flavored creams. “I am quite well off, you know. How else do you believe I was able to survive without Genma around? He just didn’t like it because he couldn’t touch my money.”
“You ... you’re rich?” asked Nabiki, eyes wide.
“Well, I don’t advertise it,” smiled Nodoka. “But I do have enough to live comfortably with. After all, you never know how many grandchildren you’ll need to spoil.”
“Sachiko-san!” yelled Kasumi. “Do you think I should get a leash with this collar?”
Nabiki blinked, coming out of her short daydreams about a rich Ranma. “Did she just say what I think she said?”
Apparently, she hadn’t been the only one keeping secrets in the house.
“Ooooh, cosplay!” shouted Kasumi. “I wonder if catgirl outfits will help Ranma-kun get over his fear of cute little kitties.”
“An excellent idea, Kasumi-chan!” smiled Nodoka. “That’s the spirit!”
Nabiki slowly looked around, expecting to either find hidden cameras taping this for a comedy show, or some guy welcoming her to the Twilight Zone.
Neither happened, much to her misery.
Nodoka slowly opened the door to the room, wanting to check in to see how her son was getting along with his Chinese Princess. She had a few minutes to while Kasumi and Nabiki were using the hotel spa for a quick treatment.
She was somewhat shocked to see a good bit of the room overturned. But then her son did seem to have a knack for the violent ones. And a little rough-housing before sex never hurt anyone.
Her excitement levels went up when she saw Herb’s dress on the floor.
But then those levels crashed when she spotted them on the bed. Sure, her son was on top of the woman, but it was very obvious that both had passed out before they could complete the act.
It was obvious to her that they had been close. Why else would she shuck her dress for one of Ranma’s new shirts? And to drink that much alcohol... “I’ll have to leave them an account so they can order more,” she mused.
But she did feel a bit sad for them. She knew how much they had missed each other. She could read the need for her son, deep within Herb’s eyes.
And to have waited all that time, only to pass out at such an important moment. That just wouldn’t do.
So, she’d help them by...
