Opening the door to the outside, Ranma stared at their guest in quiet surprise despite knowing she was coming. “Usa?”
The girl in reply dashed the two steps forward and wrapped her arms around the red-head, causing Ranma to step back into the room from the impact.
Sitting up from her pillow and mildly aware she was still nude, Nabiki got a look at the mystery girl. Just a bit shorter than Nabiki herself and a bit less curvy, Ranma was holding the girl up into the air as she’d pulled herself up with her arms around the red-head’s neck, her high heels dangling just inches off the floor.
Like Nabiki this girl wasn’t human, and Nabiki was beginning to suspect not being human tended to make one a sex-slave here. This girl had skin almost as dark as milk chocolate and long white hair in twin tail complimenting her long white bunny ears with black tips which marked her as non-human. For a moment Nabiki didn’t realize she had a tail, but after seeing it sway behind her she realized the tail was composed of the same white fluffy hair as her long twin ponytails.
So, she was some sort of bunny girl, although Nabiki thought it was totally unfair that she had armor and weapons. Her armor was white, contrasting starkly with her skin. Her torso seemed to be covered by a corset of leather that covered her breasts plus a matching thong to protect her groin. Bridal gauntlets covering the back of her hands to her shoulders served to protect her arms, while thigh-high high-heeled boots protected her legs. Covering the white leather outfit like plate armor were sections of an ivory colored material with a metallic luster, but instead of solid plates the armor was brocaded like lace. Good against a blade, more stabby things would just slip through, but it looked light and very sexy.
The girl was also carrying a pair of long swords, both sheathed together at her left hip, a leather pouch hanging opposite on her right hip. On her back was an even larger two-handed sword.
The gear annoyed Nabiki because she had barely started with a dress, but she was also annoyed the new girl was getting all the attention. Nabiki was a greedy girl before she became an elf with an even needier sexual appetite.
Rubbing the bunny-girl’s back, Ranma sighed as the girl was both laughing and crying and trying to talk at the same time. At least she hadn’t changed too much. “Settle down Usa-chan, it’s alright.”
Simmering down to just sniffling while catching her breath, the bunny-girl loosened her grip to land on her feet. “I thought I might never see you again!”
Sighing, Ranma didn’t know whether to be happy or angry at the girl. “You do realize this world is a very bad place, right?”
Frowning a the rebuke, the bunny-girl suddenly perked up a little. “You met a blue-haired cat-girl, right?”
Blinking, the shift in topic snapped Ranma out of her worries. “Yeah.”
The white-haired girl gave her a happy smile. “Can I see her?”
Curious to see what was up, Ranma opened the door to the bedroom, pointing the sleeping cat-girl out.
The bunny warrior didn’t enter, apparently content to gaze at the sleeping girl. “How is she?”
Ranma could guess they knew each other somehow. “She’s in heat, but she’s sleeping peacefully now. She’ll probably need regular sex until she recovers though.” Looking at her friend Ranma got a bit more serious. “You shouldn’t have come, this place is real bad. If you’d told me you were coming I could have warned you.”
The bunny girl didn’t seem bothered in the least, perhaps even pleased by the gruff concern. “I got the warning about this world when I got the message about you being on-line again. Besides, I was the target of the trap, so I’m already involved.”
Ranma didn’t know whether to be proud or angry, and it showed as mild confusion. “You knew and you came anyways?”
Giggling, the bunny girl bounced on her heels. “Of course, it’s your rule for dealing with traps and enemies. I came here as your knight, so I avoided the actual trap. Also my friends are here. I found that out when I wanted to call up Ami because she’s a computer whiz. Then I remembered them trying to get me to play a game with them today, but I haven’t been interested in games since losing you, but I couldn’t tell them that.” Grinning, the bunny wasn’t finished. “Besides, I also messed up the trap by giving us a way to win.”
Ranma started to smile a little. “A good ending?”
Quite happy with herself, Usagi was happy to lay it out. “Mhmm, I was the target because I’m a magic girl. It’s a little complicated, but I used my powers to help create an exit. We just have to get to the end as knight and princess and it should work.”
Ranma blinked and stared, but if Usagi said she was a magic girl, then who was she to argue as a sex-changing super martial artist? “And if it doesn’t work?”
Usagi simply smiled up at the slightly taller red-head. “Pretty much everyone I care about is already here.”
Ranma couldn’t argue with that logic since Usagi had learned heroics from her. The girl was still emotional but when it came down to crunch time, she knew how to get serious. Of course nearly two years of training to be a knight in a virtual game world with someone like Ranma as ones idol tended to inspire a certain insane level of heroics. “So, am I on that list?”
Smirking the bunny knight looked up at the red-head. “Of course my princess is at the top of the list. I do have four friends here though, but you’ve already rescued one. The others are in the main valley though, so we’ll have to get stronger to save them.”
Ranma was tempted to get upset that Usagi was talking for her, but then she remembered what Usagi was like. She was just making an assumption that saving them would be a one of their goals, and it was. It seemed like it was longer, but it had only been two years since last they’d seen each other. Ranma had spent more time in the game world with Usagi than in Nerima with Akane, and they were much closer and knew each other much better.
So Ranma just smiled. “Right, the sun's going down now, but we can still go out and get some training done.”
