[Episode 214367] [Episode 214367]The light of the sun hitting his face brought Ranma out of his slumber. As soon as his eyes opened and his mind got to working a few minutes later, he wondered what the hell was going on. This was not due to the two nude women currently wrapped around him, Ranma had gotten used to their presence days ago and actually found it quite pleasant now, but the unfamiliar ceiling above him.
Then it all came flooding back to him. He was in a hotel, somewhere in Miami, America. Debra had dragged him and the girls here last night all the while grumbling not being able to get a proper bed, then put the whole thing on her company’s expense account.
Before even getting up, he ran down the checklist of what he was supposed to go and do today. The only thing he really needed to do was call Ms Anno and see what it would take to get registered for the upcoming event. Then there was Debra, she said she had to take them down to an office, and something about a special visa for the three of them.
Thinking of the third supposedly fictitious mystical creature that had been dropped in his life, Ranma looked over to the other bed in the room and saw it was empty. The sound or running water in the nearby bathroom told him she was probably brushing her teeth, or rinsing up, or… something. He still hadn’t gotten used to the sharper hearing that came with the dragon upgrade.
Ranma looked down at his wives for a bit longer, then decided it was time to get up. He needed to ask Debra just what all this visa stuff was about.
With no occupied sign on the door, he stepped into the bathroom, and quickly discovered that the sound of running water was coming from the shower, and hotels didn’t bother to use opaque curtains for their combo bath/showers.
From her position, Debra turned to face the boy, and then turned off the shower before opening the curtain. “I’ll be out in a minute… is something wrong?”
Ranma completely forgot what he was going to say while he looked at the woman in the shower. Shorter than Jane and Sue by a wide margin, Debra was a slender woman with skin that had a slight bronze hue, like a perfectly spread tan. She was in peak physical condition, with no oversized… woman parts, like Ranma used to have. Her hair was a light blackish-blue color, and like the other dragons Ranma knew, it was the only hair anywhere on her body. To top it all off, the way the water droplets on her skin caught the light made the woman seem to sparkle a little.
“Ranma?”
The woman calling his name snapped Ranma out of his stupor, and he tried to put his thoughts back on track. “Uh… I um, uh… sorry.”
Debra blinked and stepped out of the shower after using a minor spell to wipe herself clean. “About what?”
The fact that dragons walked around naked in their natural forms so nudity didn’t really bother to Debra when she was with her own kind completely lost on him, Ranma could only stand there while the woman in front of him put her clothes on. “Oh, you’re not interrupting anything. I’m already done with the shower. You do know how to use it, right? Sorry for asking, it’s just better to make sure now and be a little rude than have something broken.”
With the woman clothed again, Ranma brain finally started back up. “Yeah, I know how. I actually wanted to ask you about this visa thing you were talking about before.”
“Oh, that,” Debra said before she went into explaining about citizenship, visiting rights for ‘special’ foreigners, and a bunch of other stuff that completely confused Ranma well before she got even halfway though. All he really understood was that he needed to show up at some office to get a card so he wouldn’t get arrested.
The fact that Debra then walked out without socking him for walking in on her naked only added to the confusion.
-Meanwhile, on the other side of the world-
Nabiki Tendo was having what she was considering the best day in a long, long time. After an American psycho free morning, she stopped off at a temple and actually threw away one hundred yen into one of the wishing wells while making a quick prayer that lighting would strike Ranma’s bitches dead. Things were looking so good today, Nabiki was willing to believe anything.
Something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention, and the teenager looked over to see it was just Shampoo coming back from one of her deliveries. Although Nabiki avoided the Cat Café, and any other place ran or managed by a martial artist like the plague, she supposed it might be a good idea to run in and tell the girl who liked to make holes rather than use doors her beloved husband wasn’t around. It would help save on the ludicrous repair bills.
“Shampoo!”
Nabiki froze up and looked around, ready to knee an idiot in the crotch, then noticed that she wasn’t being smothered, groped, or grabbed by one of the main reasons she tried to avoid this particular martial artist run business.
“Stupid Mouse! Get off Shampoo!”
Oh right, she came in before me Nabiki remind herself while trying not to let surprise show on her face. She took a few more moments to watch the mating habits of the Chinese Amazon as Mousse squeezed and fondled his ‘beloved’ in ways that would have gotten him put in jail had a policeman been around. Then she watched Shampoo bring her knee up between his legs and send Mousse crashing to the floor.
Deciding it was best to just go and find the boss of this group before Shampoo came around asking about her husband, Nabiki headed to the back of the café. She knocked on the door to the kitchen, and then let herself in before Cologne told her to enter. “Hey Granny, you here?”
From her table at the back on the room, Cologne looked up from a rather old looking book and took the pipe out of her mouth. “Yes? Something I can help you with girl? You usually don’t come around here unless something is on your mind.”
Nabiki looked down at the book Cologne was reading and raised her eyebrow in curiosity. It looked to be about as big and thick as a textbook, and all of it handwritten. All of it was in Chinese, so she couldn’t understand a word of it, but she did notice dates put before some of the scribbles. “What is that, a journal?”
“This old thing?” Cologne asked as she waved her pipe at the ancient book, “just some family history of mine. I was just checking up on some old passages. Is there something you wanted?”
With her mind set back on track, Nabiki looked back to Cologne. “Oh, it’s just that I wanted Shampoo to know that Ranma’s not at the dojo. He’ll probably be gone till the end of the week. The house is already falling apart again. I just didn’t want her busting in and bringing the rest of it down.”
This time, it was Cologne’s turn to become mildly curious. “Son-in-law’s gone? Did those two women carry him off, or is he just trying to get away from them?”
Nabiki shook her head. “Nothing like that. Remember that tournament Shampoo dragged you to a month or so back to watch? It’s got something to do with that. Ranma got a letter in the mail saying he’d been entered into another one, or something like that. I heard it all from Kasumi, and she pays almost no attention to stuff like this. He’s off in America by now, unless the idiot tried to swim there or something.”
“I don’t think you have to worry about Ranma ending up drowned in the Pacific,” Cologne assured her. “Don’t worry about Shampoo, she won’t be bothering you for awhile.” Cologne could understand why the girl came to her, and was glad she did. The reminder of current events would of had Shampoo wanting to know exactly where Ranma had been carried off to. Then she’d want to try and rescue him, which would probably have ended in her death.
Her job done, Nabiki got back up and started for the door.
“One more thing girl,” Cologne spoke up. “Those new girls hat son-in-law has with him… how close is their relationship?”
Nabiki turned around and blinked. Almost as if by reflex, she started to hold out her hand for money, then stopped. Charging Cologne had always seemed like a bad idea to her for too many reasons to count, the number one being if it put her on the old hag’s bad side. So, she just gave it to the woman strait. “Well, I’m not exactly sure. They take a big interest in Ranma, if that’s what you’re asking. They sleep in the same bed ever night, although to be honest I’m not sure exactly what goes on behind those doors. But if you’re looking for the biggest thing… the night they left, the one with the long hair had just finished having sex with him.”
After taking another hit from her pipe, Cologne turned her attention back to Nabiki. “Was it consented?”
“What?”
“Did Ranma want it, or did that Jane woman throw him on the ground, pin him down, and rape him?” she asked evenly.
The very fact that she could ask something like that without even the slightest hint of unease threw Nabiki completely off her guard. “I-I don’t know! Jeeze! What the hell kind of question is that?” Just the very thought…
Wait, she didn’t… did she?
Nabiki didn’t even want to consider it, but… whatever had gone on up there had caused the ground beneath them to collapse. She had seen worse damage in martial arts fights. The middle Tendo daughter grabbed he head and moaned as it was assaulted by images that were definitely not very wholesome. She looked up at Cologne, and frowned before shouting at the old woman. “Why the hell did you have to make me think of something like that?”
For her part, Cologne, just let out another puff of smoke. “I’ll take that as a no then,” she said before waving the girl off. “You may go now child.”
At the moment, Nabiki didn’t even care that she was being shooed away like some little kid. S-she wouldn’t, Nabiki told herself.
But then again, Nabiki’s bruised body could attest to how Jane had no moral center whatsoever.
Ranma had seemed to of liked it. He was so out of it afterwards that he didn’t even care about Akane’s screaming.
On the other hand, wasn’t that the normal… after… sex… thing to do? Nabiki’s lack of knowledge on the subject made her really wish she wasn’t a virgin at the moment.
One thing she did know for sure though, next time, she was definitely charging Cologne for info next time the old hag wanted to know something.
With the girl out of her hair, Cologne went back to reading the collected knowledge regarding the fall of the Musk Dynasty.
-Meanwhile, in America-
“Are you two going to lay there all day?”
Jane opened one of her eyes to see the Platinum Princess standing over their bed, but was too out of it to react. Instead, she just covered her eyes with her arm and rolled away. “You didn’t fly around the world in one night. Go do that real quick, then we’ll talk.”
Sue just rolled out of bed and fixed her hair with her hands when she noticed Ranma come in from the bathroom fully clothed. “Good morning Sire.” When she noticed he was looking at her chest and getting no reaction, the dragon rolled her eyes and put on her clothes. She had been hoping the nudity would help get him in the mood. Since Jane’s talk on the way over to America, Sue had to admit a great deal of curiosity to what sex with her husband would feel like.
When the dark-skinned woman found something outside the window to occupy the her attention, Ranma walked over to Debra as she pulled the covers off of Jane. “Get up already.”
Jane moaned and rolled onto her back, then looked up to the other woman. “Why? I heard you and the idiot talking in the bathroom. We can’t go to that immigration office, or whatever it is, to meet your guy until after closing.”
“True,” Debra admitted. “But I’m supposed to keep all of you in sight at all times. I don’t feel like sitting around in a hotel room all day.”
“Actually, I do need to get in contact with someone,” Ranma spoke up. “It’s kind of the whole reason we’re here.”
Debra filed that away for later and waved Ranma off with quick assurances. “That’ll only take a minute, and you should probably wait till later in the day. Human’s don’t like it when you call them early in the morning.” Then, she turned her attention back to Jane, “now get up.”
“Why?” Jane asked. “What the hell are we going to do?”
“How about that?” Sue asked as she pointed out the window.
Knowing she was going to regret it later, Jane picked herself up and looked at what Sue was pointing to.
