[Episode 236446] [Episode 236446]"I guess I'm just going to have to go down there like this. There's no way I'm staying locked in my room until I can contact and meet with a metal smith." Nabiki walked to her door and slid it open.
Ranma stepped out after her, and seeing there was no one in the hall, asked, "So, what are you going to tell everybody?"
"I have a few ideas, but I haven't decided for sure yet. It will all depend on what conclusions they make on their own. If we're lucky, they'll come up with something we don't mind them thinking, and we won't have to bother spinning a story of our own."
Ranma put a finger to his chin in though. "Huh. That's sort of like in Judo, where you use a person's own momentum against them."
Nabiki raised an eyebrow. He really did have a mind in that thick skull of his, after all. If only he'd use it for more than fighting. "Right. Anyway, since your acting skills are... inconsistent... I'll try not to involve you in the story. If you do wind up a part of it, though, just do you best to play along."
"Er, alright."
They cut their conversation short as they started down the stairs, and just as well - Akane met them at the bottom of the stairs. She had changed and cleaned up since her arrival home; if it weren't for the bruises you wouldn't know she'd been in a fight earlier. "There you two are. I thought I was going to have to go looking for you - Kasumi already has the food on the table." Her eyes narrowed. "What are you two doing coming down together, anyway? You didn't blackmail Ranma into posing for pictures for you again, did you?"
Nabiki blinked. When Akane's eyes had narrowed, she had thought for sure Akane would bring up her manacles. Apparently she hadn't noticed them yet. Nabiki glanced at Ranma then back at Akane, and said, "Actually I haven't blackmailed Saotome in several weeks. Besides, if you'll notice, Ranma is currently male." Of course, Nabiki did occasionally take pictures of Ranma's male side, but Akane didn't know that.
Akane looked at Ranma then back to Nabiki. "Oh. Right." She still got the feeling Ranma and Nabiki were hiding something, but she had no idea what it could be. Seeing as Nabiki was one of the few girls she didn't have to worry about Ranma hooking up with, she decided to let it slide. Giving them one last suspicious glance, she headed to the table.
Everyone glanced up at the three as they sat down at their normal spots on the table, but the only one whose eyes lingered longer on Nabiki than usual was Kasumi. Nabiki noticed Kasumi looking at Nabiki's wrists for a moment, but Kasumi said nothing.
Everyone said "itadakimasu" and began to dig in.
Nabiki's eyes widened when she went to swallow her first bite. In her mouth, the food had seemed good (as Kasumi's food always was) but normal. However, the sensation of the food going down her throat felt incredible, though strangely sexual, like easing a finger into her vagina. She let out a sensual moan of pleasure, and had to resist the urge to rub her crotch.
All eyes turned to Nabiki, and she realized that moan hadn't been the sort makes at the dinner table. Blushing in embarrassment, she said, "Sorry. It's just that this food is really good." Turning to Kasumi, she added, "You've surpassed yourself, Kasumi."
Kasumi held Nabiki's gaze for a moment, her expression unreadable. Then she nodded, and said, "Thank you."
Akane shook her head slightly. "Kasumi's food is always great," she said, her tone implying that on the other hand she didn't think this meal warranted Nabiki's reaction. The men's expressions indicated they agreed with Akane's implication, but thankfully no one said anything to contradict Nabiki's explanation. Ranma also gave Nabiki a strange look, and she wondered if he was starting to suspect some of the other changes she'd been through.
Covering for Nabiki's indiscretion (despite not understanding it), Soun added, "Yes, fine work, as always, Kasumi."
As she continued eating, Nabiki had to struggle not to moan in pleasure with each swallow. She wished she had a carrot, sausage, popsicle, or similarly shaped object she could stick down her throat - it would be just like masturbating. Or better yet, if she could give someone a blow-job... which was obviously the point of this little alteration. She was just going to have to be careful not to eat too much out of a desire for sexual gratification.
Nabiki managed to hide her arousal and sexual enjoyment of the meal, and the meal continued uneventfully for several more minutes until Genma decided to try and distract Ranma from their duel over the food by scolding Ranma over the one major event of the day Genma was aware of. "Boy! I heard you left your fiancee to fight on her own today! What do you have to say for yourself?"
Soun started to cry. "My poor daughter, abandoned by her fiance and nearly beaten to death!"
Akane protested, "It's just a few bruises, Dad. I'll be fine."
Ranma agreed, "Ain't no way a macho tomboy like her is gonna be taken down that easily."
Akane grit her teeth and balled her fists. "Rrrranmaaa..."
Nabiki spoke up and requested preemptively, "Please don't smash the table down on him while our food is still on the table."
Ranma gave Akane a questioning look. "What are you upset about? That's a good thing!"
Akane growled, "The 'macho tomboy' part isn't."
Ranma shrugged. "Better than bein' a girly-girl."
Akane's rage quieted, and she she took on a puzzled expression as she contemplated the fact that what they considered serious insults was different.
Meanwhile, Genma had gone one step further, and said, "Did you hear that, Soun, my boy was complimenting Akane!"
Soun looked doubtful. "Are you sure? That didn't sound exactly like a compliment..."
"Of course I'm sure!"
Out of reflex, Ranma said, "Hey, I wasn't complimentin' that uncute tomboy!"
Akane's rare moment of introspection was brought to an end by this exchange and in particular Ranma's continuing insults. She turned to Ranma intending to throw a few insults of her own at him, when Soun spoke up.
"Ranma, you never did explain why you left Akane to fight on her own."
"She was fighting Kodachi, Shampoo, and Ucchan. I don't fight girls."
Nabiki pointed out, "You fought Shampoo back in the Amazon village."
"And look how well that turned out..."
"Point," Nabiki conceded.
As dinner wore on, and the novelty of being sexually stimulated by swallowing wore off, Nabiki grew more and more tense waiting for someone to bring up her manacles. It had to be just a matter of time - Genma and her family could be dense at times, but surely even they would notice her wearing thick metal cuffs with rings for attaching chains to.
However, before Nabiki knew it, everyone was done eating, saying "thank you" for the food, and getting up from the table. Soun and Genma headed off to play Shogi, while Akane headed upstairs to finish her homework. Kasumi began cleaning up the table.
Nabiki looked down at her manacles, then at Ranma. Ranma shrugged, knowing they couldn't talk about it in front of Kasumi. He headed up to his and Genma's room - like Akane, he had homework to do. (While school wasn't a major priority for him he liked to at least make a token effort when he had the time.)
Nabiki stood at the table a bit longer, pondering how it was that no one had commented on her manacles. She held here wrists up and began playing around with one of the manacles, while she considered the possibility that Mihoshi's magic had done more than just make some alterations to Nabiki's body and libido and give her and Ranma some new clothes and sex-toys...
The question was, what had the magic done?
