Kasumi Tendo at five-foot-six was a tad on the large size for a Japanese girl. Certainly not very large, but the four inches she had on Akane and the eight inches on Ranma's cute female form were a big deal among Japanese girls that tended to obsess over their figures down to the centimeter. That would be two-point-fifty-six times more obsession than a western girl over inches.
More than merely tall, she had a thicker curvier build than most. In high school she'd kept fit but after retiring to just housework she'd started to build a little softness around her waist and hips. It wasn't much, but Akane jogged and Nabiki did aerobics to maintain her flexible figure, leaving Kasumi an easy comparison for her softening figure.
Worries about her figure didn't really matter too much as she was a shy girl to begin with. In junior high she'd chosen to spend her time caring for her household, something that back then took a lot of her time to manage the various chores. Between that and being a good role model for her little sisters as a proper polite girl, she hadn't considered making time to have a boyfriend. They weren't choices she regretted either, she enjoyed taking care of the household, but it had become a very lonesome existence once she was graduated from high school and had to look for some way to pass the time as she could easily do her chores with experience.
That had changed after putting Ranma in control of spicing up her life. She'd expected him to make her smaller and cuter, but instead she gained a few inches of height and even more curves. Because she'd actually liked the changes, Ranma got even more leeway to change her, pushing her taller and curvier. In the end she was right at six-feet tall, putting her tall enough to kiss Ranma on the forehead if they were standing. A fair share of the height was in her now shapelier legs, the sheer pantyhose and pumps she was wearing highlighting that particular change as her knee length skirt had pushed up to around her thighs.
Her waist was a bit trimmer, but Ranma had improved her figure by expanding her hips and rear instead of tightening her waist. That choice of figure was the balance the volleyball sized breasts Kasumi was sporting up top, Ranma having curiously explored the limit there as Kasumi's maternal desires made her likewise curious about such a big bust. Polishing off her make-over was her skin now glowing with health as her hair had lengthened into a silky mane of rich dark brown going down to her waist. Enhancing her look was her sleeker red dress with black accents to help offset the white of her apron.
Gone were the long sleeves, replaced by short cuffed sleeves, her hands now covered in red fingerless gloves with black ruffles accenting the wrist. Likewise she exposed more skin across her chest, but only a tasteful amount from her throat to her barely exposed cleavage.
Kasumi had been surprised to find being bigger instead of being smaller and cuter was appealling, but she definitely looked and felt like a sexy woman now. Her outfit was cut in a sexy red and black theme of colors, but subtle accents of ruffles and lace shifted the dress from purely sexy to sleek yet pretty.
Not a huge change, just a few inches here and there, but there was no part of Kasumi that felt plain now.
Certainly not after Ranma had finished and gazed at her in a way that got her heart beating as he leaned in to kiss her. Leaning back a little the kiss continued with Ranma pressing gently forward. Initially leaning back just a little bit, the kiss continued until Kasumi was slowly lowered to the floor.
Laying on the floor with her arms above her head as Ranma gently pinned her, the kiss continued as Kasumi absently hooked one of her nylon clad legs around her lover, doing her own bit to hold him close to her.
To the couple’s extreme disappointment a certain tomboy boiled over like an angry little teapot. “What are you doing you pervert?!”
Ranma and Kasumi both disengaging from the kiss to stare dully at Akane had little effect on calming her ire. “Just how many girls have you been sleeping around with, you, you, philanderer!”
As always Akane was a definite mood killer, Ranma relaxing as he considered how to deal with the girl. Kissing Kasumi on the cheek to relax her a bit, Ranma sat up to consider at Akane and the surrounding girls. Taking a moment to stare at her evenly, Ranma organized his thoughts. While he wasn’t too skilled at handling a girl outside of a loving sexual relationship, he was pretty sure there were a few things he should clear up now. “First off, I haven’t been with anyone in a long time. Kissing Kasumi here is the most love I’ve had since Jusenkyou.”
Thinking about the part that bothered him the most though, Ranma thought of how to maybe get through to Akane. “Look, Akane, you know there are people at school that wanna talk to ya about martial arts, but they don’t really know nothing about the art. All focused on special moves and styles they saw in kung fu movies, to the point where you can’t even talk to them about the art. You know what I’m talking about?”
Surprised by the change in topic, the tomboy did know what he was talking about. People were always pestering her with odd martial arts stuff, confusing the stuff they saw in video games and kung fu movies with the bizarre stuff Ranma pulled off, although she did see the similarity at times. “Yeah, I know. What’s your point pervert?”
Rolling his eyes at yet another pervert comment, Ranma hoped to bury that little hatchet. “That’s what you and every other sex-obsessed virgin gossipping about what you think might be happening sounds like to me.” The one cure Ranma knew for that was give her the experience, but tender moments were rare in Nerima. “I was almost tempted to show you after that whole Mikado mess when you wanted me to kiss you, but the family stopped that. Dunno why everyone is so big on marrying just for honor and not having any love.”
The sex-obsessed virgin comment scoring a direct hit on Akane, she soldiered on with her head of steam. “So then why are you making out with Kasumi?”
A bit surprised, Ranma stared at Akane as he wondered just how clueless she could be. “Because Kasumi wants a little love. Why shouldn’t I make her happy?”
Ukyou beat Shampoo to the punch by virtue of being a native speaker of the language. “Then why haven’t you done anything with any of us?”
Once again Ranma gave them the dull look, growing very tired of the mess. “Cause you’re just interested in a marriage for honor. I don’t see why everyone is so big on an empty marriage, I’m pretty sure Mom hated hers.”
Ranma pointing out his own parents as an example of marriage hit hard, Genma in particular wasn’t a shining example of anything, even his raising Ranma tended to make people proud of Ranma for turning out as well as he did. Despite that the girls were pretty sure they’d made it clear that they were chasing Ranma romantically.
The other two of the main three shot down, Shampoo piped up. “Shampoo love Airen, she try take on many dates, yes?”
As Ranma stared blankly at Shampoo, Nabiki finally had enough, slapping her forehead as it was getting a bit sad now. “Do you girls remember what I said about fighting over Ranma and losing him? Those things you call dates probably weren’t as romantic as you’re thinking.”
Considering Ranma in a new light, Nabiki realized that was a bit of an understatement. “Actually since Ranma has apparently known a great love, then yeah, he probably saw it a bit differently as trying to win him like a prize.”
Nabiki did decide to cut the girls a bit of slack and help them out just a little. “You do know though Saotome, the girls do like you. They’re just what you’d call clueless virgins I guess. I think it’s safe to say we’re all a little jealous of the attention Kasumi is getting.”
Ranma however wasn’t phased as much as Nabiki would have expected. “Well yeah, of course they like me a little. I wouldn’t expect them to keep up the marriage thing for honor if I was a jerk like Kuno or something. The whole jealousy thing ain’t news to me either, they’ve kinda made that obvious.”
Nabiki blinked before realizing that Ranma was mostly right. While the girls did pursue Ranma, she couldn’t say they really were ready for love. At least not ready for Ranma’s level of love, Kasumi wasn’t even paying the glaring girls any attention, the lucky girl. “Alright fine, I don’t know if they are ready for love or just obsessed with the marriage thing. Me though, I’ve signed up with you for the next month and I’ll have what Kasumi’s having.”
Ranma simply raised an eyebrow at the bunnygirl. “You sure?”
Nabiki in turn raised him a confident smirk. “Of course, I was expecting it to go a bit slower and I’d cure us both of that pesky virginity problem. Now it looks like I get to just relax and enjoy the ride.”
With Kasumi on the edge and Nabiki wanting to play, Ranma considered the other girls. “Well, we still gonna sit out here and play games, or are we going inside?”
Seeing that things had progressed further than she would have thought, Nabiki felt it was time for all the girls to play their hands. “Alright, any girls not willing to be Ranma’s love-slave and get the same treatment as Kasumi, well, now’s the time to leave. Anyone staying is going to get lessons in love from Sensei Ranma.”
Ranma raised an eyebrow at the announcement, but didn’t correct Nabiki.
