Nabiki 1/2 Special: Lair of the Tiger (A Lao/Nabiki Hentai) by Jim Robert Bader (Any resemblance between this and the characters created by Rumiko Takahashi is purely a coincidence) Nabiki looked up from her cell in the cargo hold of the ship and heard the telltale approach of her owner with faint resignation borne of long practice. She stirred only faintly as the door to her cell was opened, and then in stepped the infamous Pirate Captain herself, flashing her usual predatory smile as she sized up her captive prize with a professional gleam that never failed to make Nabiki feel inwardly nervous. Outwardly she just gave Lao her customary glower then stirred slightly in her bed of straw, feeling an itch all over her naked skin and wishing she could scratch herself something awful. Unfortunately her hands were cuffed behind her back, even as her ankles were bound by golden manacles while her neck wore a collar that was attached by a chain to a leash handle presently dangling from a hook somewhat over her head. She could not quite lay down all the way because there was only so much slack to the leash, forcing her to sit upright much of the night in a meditative posture. "Good morning," Lao said brightly, "Rise and shine, my pet, it's time for us to start out again with a bright new morning." Nabiki said nothing, having no accurate way to tell time locked away in the hold without even a porthole for guidance. What illumination there was came from the luminous lichen growing inside the timbers of the ancient ship itself. For all she knew it could be pitch black outside and she wouldn't be any the wiser. Lao urged her to stand and Nabiki reluctantly did as she was urged, feeling the sullen resignation that she always felt over the state of her helplessness and the knowledge that resistance to the Pirate's will would be futile. Rather than make some symbolic protest over her conditions she meekly waited for Lao to fetch the metal leash off its wall hook then allowed herself to be led by her collar as Lao took her from the hold into the corridor where the Pirate's chariot was waiting. Lao urged her to step onto the platform before attaching her collar to the rail so that Nabiki could stand at her side while Lao picked up the reins leading to the Pony women already in their harness at the front end of this conveyance and with a flick of a riding whip got the chariot into forward motion. "I do hope you had a good nights rest," Lao idly commented as she directed the four naked women pulling their chariot to set a leisurely pace as they trotted along down the wide corridor of the vessel, "We have a very big day ahead of us and you are scheduled to begin the second phase of your basic orientation." "I'm so thrilled," Nabiki groused sourly, not seeing the amused glance her companion gave her at this mild display of resentment. The Japanese girl was still trying to maintain some dignity in spite of having endured several days of torturous conditioning that would have convinced a less stubborn woman of the futility of such defiance, "What new wondrous devices do you intend to stick me in this time, pray tell?" "You'll see," Lao smiled, knowing full well to what ends Nabiki's act would ultimately amount, "I thought you might want to know that Shampoo is doing quite well in your absence and is not yet aware of present conditions. The same is true for your Ranma, in fact your iinazuke is doing his best to console her. I shouldn't worry much, if I were you, over their account as they will learn to adjust over time, the same as you ultimately will." Her words had the predictable result of making Nabiki's expression change from a frown to something more like despair and depression. It was obvious that she really did miss her wife and fiancée and wanted more than anything to be reunited with them once again. Captivity was grating enough on her pride and sense of independence without adding loneliness to the equation. Lao privately hated doing this to the girl, but she knew it was necessary to break her out of the angry pose she had adopted. She had to make Nabiki more cooperative, less adversarial and hostile if she was going to work her into the proper state of mind from which to begin her real training. So it was that they stopped at the area on board the ship that served as both a shower and sauna for her girls and regular crewmates. Lao dismounted from her chariot then summoned one of her Undines before passing her the reins with instructions on how to feed and water her slaves. She noted how Nabiki's eye turned sympathetically towards the four girls being treated like well-groomed racing horses and hid a smirk of satisfaction. Though the Tendo girl had tried to conceal it, Lao had caught the note of curiosity that was hidden by her pity. Nabiki was expecting to see more recalcitrance in the behavior of the slaves as they meekly allowed themselves to be rubbed down and petted by the Undines, almost as if they were indeed well groomed animals and not self-respecting humans allowing themselves to be handled in such a meek and compliant manner. She took Nabiki into the hot showers first and had her rinsed down in one of the overhead stalls, taking the time to shampoo and soap the Tendo girl's lithe body as Nabiki suffered to allow herself to be handled in such an intimate manner. Lao was very thorough in cleaning her off, her hands roving over the girl's smooth flesh as she made certain to remove every ounce of grit and sweat, along with the rash brought on by a slight aversion to the hay she had slept upon. Lao was careful to apply the right kind of stimulation to various nerve endings that insured that Nabiki would respond both physically and sexually in spite of her will not to be so aroused by the Pirate. It was a losing battle against her own libido that Nabiki was fighting, and she well knew that the outcome would be eventual compliance, but still she make the token effort to remain in control to the very end of the encounter. Lao had to inwardly salute the girl's persistence, but in the end she grew faintly disgusted and called up two Undines to assist her. She stood back and allowed her elemental servants to take over, watching as they dissolved their mass into their mutual liquid state, then flowed around Nabiki's body while maintaining a warm enough temperature so as not to trigger her Jusenkyo curse. Nabiki endured the intimate probing of the skilled elementals as best she could, but in the end she at last surrendered to a series of orgasms that left her shaking in repeated climax, the elementals glowing slightly as they absorbed the orgasmic energies and returned them with a passion. When at last Lao had dismissed the elementals they left a shaken and exhausted Nabiki behind who had trouble remaining upright. She seemed appalled at her own weakness but was pliant enough when Lao took her by the leash once again and urged her to follow, pacing her steps to well within the limits of her ankle fetters while weaving to the side with every third step. Lao once again felt sympathy for the girl but knew it was her own fault for being so stubborn as she had to know what would come of her resistance. If anything she was showing Tendo Nabiki great restraint in her methods and hoped that she would not need to resort to more extreme measures should the girl persist in fighting against the program. So it was that Lao took Nabiki to the Discipline room, where they had been working out the previous days before this. She removed the leash from Nabiki's collar and removed the girl's wrist-cuffs so that Nabiki could work some circulation back into her shoulders. Before strength had fully returned to her arms, though, Lao gripped one wrist and cuffed it to a bar dangling by a chain from the ceiling, then cuffed the other wrist to the other end of the bar and had the hoist raised until Nabiki dangled above the floor by her tip-toes. "I must apologize again for the inconvenience," Lao said sincerely once she had bent down and replaced Nabiki's manacles with a spreader bar to hold her feet apart, "Normally I don't have to do this every day with the women I train since many learn quick enough to comply with their instructions. You should know by now what happens to naughty little girls such as you when they don't heed their lessons. This for your own good, you know, to help with your slave training." Nabiki gasped as Lao cupped the other girl's breasts and began to fondle her intimately, pinching her nipples before pulling them taunt to elicit an involuntary reaction as Nabiki's chest came to full erection, standing out like a pair of ripe fruit fit for the plucking. Lao took full advantage of the younger girl's helpless condition as one hand slid down across the other girl's belly to find the now-smooth spot where Nabiki's muff used to be before Lao shaved it. Lust-slick loin lips greeted her cursory inspection before Lao inserted a finger in her opening and began to explore Nabiki's intimate cavity with a wonderful attention to detail, caressing every pleasurable spot that could be reached until Lao found the famous "G" spot and diddled there for a while until Nabiki squirmed and bucked in a standing pose and asked with her body to be stroked to full orgasm. Naturally Nabiki's conscious mind demanded some token display of independence, but her body had stopped listening to her mind and was now just holding on as Nabiki fought and bucked in place until her legs began running with moisture. Lao decided to bend down on her knees and use her mouth to sample the Tendo girl's rich juices while her fingers probed more intimately. Her tongue began lapping up juices that flowed from within the girl's moistened depths until Nabiki at last could not hold back a shudder once again. She climaxed with an explosive churning from inside that shot hot fluid into the Pirate Queen's mouth as Lao happily sucked her dry with her raspy tongue. Lao continued lapping her well into the third orgasm, cleaning Nabiki off once again in such a way that the girl could not help shuddering yet again, her body clenching as her skin turned beet red before she exploded from within with waves of intense, raw passion heightened by the tongue lashing. The experience was so intense that Nabiki actually made an involuntary noise of regret when Lao pulled away with a smile, saying, "That's enough for now. Wouldn't want to spoil you with too much fun too early in the program. First we have to soften you up a bit and make you more receptive to what else I have in store for you, my pet. Just remember that this is what happens to good little girls who don't play the game according to Mommy's home rules." As she said this Lao's hand came up and slapped Nabiki's right breast hard enough to sting her, then did the same to the other breast, which caused yet another involuntary shudder as Nabiki's nipples stiffened to full erectness. Lao then turned away and walked for several paces to where a table was laid out with all manner of implements of torture. In spite of her resolve to remain firm, Nabiki could not repress a slight tremble as she contemplated the uses of many of the items that she could see out of the corner of one eye as Lao examined them individually for a time until she selected the one most suited to her purpose. The Pirate queen then smiled and raised a small chain that had two clips attached at either end. She sauntered back to stand before Nabiki, holding it up with a smile as she allowed the Tendo girl to examine it in details. "You know what this is?" Lao asked, and when Nabiki did not answer she continued, "Nipple clips, perfect for adding a certain zest to the entertainment. I also have this ring that serves a similar function, and guess where it attaches?" she grinned tigerishly, "Won't that be great fun?" "For who?" Nabiki asked dubiously, unable to help staring at the clips. "For you, of course," Lao replied, and then proceeded to cup one breast in a firm hand as Nabiki tried to avert her gaze from what she knew was about to happen. It did no good, of course, as she felt Lao's fingers toy with and pull taunt on her nipple before the feel of cold metal pressed it firmly in its grip. Nabiki felt the pain of being pinched there, yet at the same time could not help experiencing a powerful sensation that felt more like forbidden pleasure. When Lao began to fondle the other breast Nabiki could not resist looking this time, watching in fearful fascination as her nipple hardened to full erectness under the Pirate's manipulation, and then the clip pressed down and she gasped, turning her face to stare up in helpless appeal towards the ceiling. "Now then," Lao purred as her hand reached down to manipulate Nabiki's wet mound, stroking and playing with her love petals as they once more unfolded to her command until Lao found her clitoris and could play with it directly. Nabiki clenched her eyes and gasped at the sensations that coursed throughout her body as the former Amazon deftly worked her up to a different kind of erection. Had the tiny nub been the penis she wore in her other form it would have been a rock hard seven inches and ready to split wood. As it was it seemed engorged to a full inch in size, which had to be the product of her imagination since she knew it was incapable of expanding like that, regardless of the arts at Lao's disposal. "Let this be your first lesson of today," Lao said as her other hand cupped Nabiki's face then forced her to look the Amazon directly in her eyes as the Pirate brought her face close enough that they could feel each other's breath, then she continued, "I own you. Deny it all you want, pretend that it doesn't matter if you will, it does not change the reality of your situation. I own your body, and soon your mind and spirit will surrender, then I will own you completely. This toy that is your most intimate pleasure center belongs to me to do with as I will, as is your love cleft and genitalia, which taste so wonderfully nice with a full, womanly flavor that I intend to feast upon whenever it suits me. Your breasts belong to me as well, and I can play with them as I like, as is your ass and the opening through which you will shortly know full penetration. Those lovely long legs you are so proud of belong to me as well, and those well-shaped feet that I will clean and feast upon with my hungry lips. In fact there is no part of you that is denied to me, and the sooner you realize this the happier for all concerned, Tendo Nabiki, slave and property of Lao Kung, your Mistress." "Get stuffed," Nabiki hissed in a belated show of defiance that only made the Pirate smile the more as though delighting in her continual defiance. "You first," Lao replied, and then Nabiki felt the bite of cold metal on her most sensitive of all members as the Clit-clip was attached to hold her at full erection. Nabiki closed her eyes and shuddered, unable to believe how the pain was somehow turning her on in ways she could never before have conceived. Lao returned to the table then came back with a new item of amusement, a large ivory-colored horn with a blunt-rounded end that she held up for Nabiki's inspection, looking for all intents like a nine inch cock, the head of which the Pirate then chose to rub over the exposed areas of her breasts before running it up and down her tummy before sliding it up against the wet slit that was still unfolded like the petals of a large flower. Nabiki bucked involuntarily as she felt the head press up against her well-lubricated entrance, then slide into her with easy motion that made Nabiki's hips gyrate as her body clenched to receive the huge phallic object to the nub where Lao held it. The pirate slowly gyrated the thing inside Nabiki, turning it from one side to the next and causing Nabiki to buck as her arms pulled her weight off the floor several times before she finally settled down as Lao finished positioning the ivory so that it filled her completely. "Now, that wasn't so bad," Lao cooed, "A bit of a tight fit, but otherwise perfect. Now for the other opening." "You wouldn't dare!" Nabiki gasped, unwittingly giving Lao the perfect opportunity to press a ball-like object up to her lips and slide it into her mouth, holding it there before removing it slightly, then pushing down again as it forced her jaws wide open. "Oh, wouldn't I?" Lao purred as she tied the dildo-shaped mouth piece around behind Nabiki's head, holding the gag in place so that she could turn her attentions elsewhere, presenting the next item up for Nabiki's inspection. Nabiki's eyes widened as she saw the thing that she knew was next to be inserted into her. The ivory dildo was still in place where Lao had left it but this...rubberized monster...there was no way it could fit in her rear opening! She shook her head and made noises of denial, all the time realizing the futility of such gestures with her captor. "Now then," Lao went to the table and pulled up a jar full of special cream, "We have to get you ready...a little lubrication here goes a long ways to easing the path into your love cleft." As she said this she began to lather Nabiki's anal passage with something moist and slick that felt like Vaseline or some other related substance. Lao's fingers probed their way past her tight sphincter until she was thoroughly slick and ready to enter. It did not take long before Lao brought the other fake cock up to her anus and began sliding it up and down before presenting it to the gateway that it must pass through. Nabiki closed her eyes in silent resignation and waited for the inevitable to happen, then gasped indeed when she felt the dildo pushing into her rectum, filling her up from the rear as Nabiki's toes pushed against the floor while her body arched and she felt herself clench all over with a brand spanking new orgasm. Once the dildo was in place Lao wasted no time in attaching a strap that held both front and rear objects firmly in place in both bottom orifices. Once the strap was secure Lao gave Nabiki a playful swat against her left rump, which caused Nabiki to spasm again as her body clenched, feeling the pinch from the clips in her front while the rest of her was gyrating wildly. "Now then," Lao smiled as she turned away and retraced her steps back to the handy equipment table, turning about once she had selected a whip, which same she cracked loudly for show, provoking another uncontrollable spasm as the whip danced close to Nabiki's skin, causing her to wince as Lao skillfully aimed her flicks to miss her by inches. "On with the show," Lao continued, raising the whip before aiming it carefully, causing Nabiki to emit a stifled yelp at the bite that raised a pink welt along both of her pert bottoms. A second flick struck both breasts almost simultaneously and once more raised them to full arousal. By the time of the third whipping Nabiki was jumping in involuntary spasms as the very act of moving was causing the dildos and clips to redouble the sensations that were traveling up and down her spine like electricity as Nabiki shuddered, moaned and gasped in dismay at feeling a full arousal from the casual whipping. The fourth whip crack made Nabiki yelp into her gag before surrendering to the harshness of her abuser, who was applying the whip with artistic precision to as much stimulate as abuse the Japanese girl's tender flesh. The next three strikes were aimed at particular nerve clusters and created such a wave of competing nerve stimulus that Nabiki's whole frame jerked and spasmed uncontrollably. The next three strikes seemed to turn off the switches that had been electrified by the previous three strikes, but the eleventh hit caused the fireworks to erupt once again with redoubled fury so that Nabiki was left to dangle helplessly while her body responded to the whip like a marionette. She danced to the tune that Lao was playing, and each time she jerked involuntarily it was as though she were being humped in her groin, ass and mouth with equal fervor. Nabiki had started to develop a response to the rhythm of the whip cracks by the time Lao hit twenty lashes, timed to land unpredictably in different areas, so when those lashes ceased abruptly Nabiki jolted even more sharply at the anticipated crack that did not again touch any part of her exposed body. Instead Nabiki hung there twitching in sympathetic response to the sparks that continued to flow through her body until a hair of soothing hands laid claim to her tender flesh. Lao's bare skin made full-body contact with Nabiki as she was hugged from behind while the Pirate soothed and stroked her hyper-stimulated nerve endings. "There now, my pet," Lao cooed into Nabiki's ear as she fondled the sore places and soothed her aches while Nabiki became aware of the pair of pointy nipples pressing against her shoulderblades, "That was not so bad, was it? You got through like a trooper. Now let Momma soothe those hurts and make them all better..." As aroused as she became at being fondled by her tormentor, Nabiki still looked down with alarm as she felt Lao's hands slide over her, at first cupping her breasts before one hand snaked down along the smooth skin of her belly and made its way relentlessly towards her much abused loins. She felt the clip about her clitoris tingle as Lao jiggled it slightly, then groaned with relief as the clip was removed, to be replaced in short order by Lao's skilled fingers, which toyed with her abused pleasure-button until it no longer was in pain but was instead engorged with the fires of another sort of sensation. Nabiki ground her pelvis as she gyrated her hips slightly, feeling the two dildos pressed within her seeming to move inside her counterpoint to her own quivering elation. Lao was working her over in such a way as to make those dildos grind even deeper into her body, and now Nabiki felt so enflamed with the passion of her own lust that she could not help but respond to the Pirate's artful manipulation. "You see?" Lao murmured into her ears with the hungry tiger quite evident in her sultry voice, "Resistance is futile, but surrender brings pleasure. I know you have your pride, Tendo-san, that you do not wish to surrender your will to anyone for any reason, but you will find that normal rules do not apply within these chambers. Here you will learn to submit and enjoy the act of surrender, and you have already taken your first momentous steps. All me to demonstrate further how cooperating with me will yield such pleasures such as you have never conceived." So saying Lao removed the nipple clip over Nabiki's right breast with one hand then proceeded to massage and play with the sensitive tip as Nabiki sighed with relief, then felt it swell to even greater erection. The other nipple was then treated to the same release and stimulation while Lao's other hand continued to play with her clitoris until Nabiki felt all three abused pleasure-points grow erect and firm to Lao's ministrations. "And now we get to the fun part," Lao smiled as she undid the clasps holding the two dildos in place, then removed the ivory horn in her loins to the sound of a quite audible noise, Nabiki squirming in both relief and frustration. She expected the one in her anus to follow suit but instead she found Lao was pivoting her hips backwards slightly, then to her amazement she felt something else press up against her loins and to her further confoundment she felt the head of a new and softer-feeling dildo begin to enter her. It pushed its way in, grinding against the walls of her vagina as though it were covered with bumps and ridges, pressing relentlessly in until she was filled once again to capacity. "Get ready for the ride of your life," Lao purred as she moved her own hips slightly, the double-ended dong strapped about her own waist pushing in two ways at once before pulling out again with agonizing slowness. Lao kept her motions slow and even, first in, then out part of the way, but slowly she began to increase the tension, speed and force of her motions. Nabiki felt the sliding, grating sensation of the rounded bumps against the sensitive nerves lining her inner walls and her eyes got very wide at these sensations, but more so from the electric excitement that came jolting up her spine and into her loins and breasts, no longer restrained by the clips pinching her nerve endings and disrupting the flow of her pleasure. It was not long before Nabiki felt her body rock and shudder from a different kind of sensation, one that came like an exploding tidal wave that splashed against the rocks that were throbbing inside her as Lao continued her relentless thrusts, pulling out and pushing in with greater force until Nabiki came again with redoubled energy. Nabiki was helpless to resist as she was ridden to a third consecutive orgasm, gasping into the ball-gag jammed up to her throat, breathing in rasping gasps through the hollow interior as Lao manipulated her thrusts to ride up inside Nabiki and stroke that hidden nerve cluster known as the "G" spot, which intensified the pleasure of her fourth orgasm a hundredfold. Lao's hands at first were helping to steady her hips, but as the ordeal intensified she brought those hands into play by sliding them up Nabiki's sweat- soaked hide to cup and play with her breasts again, giving further intensity to her stimulation as Lao's bucking thrusts picked her off her feet and arched her entire body. After only a few minutes of this treatment Nabiki climaxed yet again, experiencing an incredible fifth orgasm that seemed to go on and on forever. As Nabiki came, Lao cried out with her own intense growl of ultimate pleasure. At last Lao relented, bringing Nabiki off with a sixth climax, then slowed her pace so that the seventh climax merely helped to sate the residual energies generated by the first six. She continued to cuddle Nabiki as the latter sighed into semi-blissful languor, then slowly withdrew her fake cock from the Tenderized girl's oversaturated loins, bringing a soft murmur of protest from her nominal victim. "Now now, my pet," Lao cooed gently as she physically withdrew to leave Nabiki hanging by her wrists utterly spent and nerveless, "There will be time enough more such ridings once you have gotten further along in your training. For now I think it is enough to give you a sense of what is in store for you should you learn to be more cooperative with your Mistress. Pleasure and pain are mine to dispense in equal measures, and in time you will find it difficult to distinguish one sensation from the other." Nabiki gave a helpless sound of exasperation at her own inability to refute this statement, too wrung out by her ordeal to even be able in her own mind to formulate a coherent protest. "Now then," Lao said as she withdrew a short distance, "I do have other people to attend to on this ship, and I am a very busy woman in much demand by friends, family and clients, so I'll take my leave of you for a little bit, but never fear, I won't leave you alone to suffer. My faithful servants will keep you entertained until I get back, so just be a good little girl and enjoy yourself, and when I return we'll begin things all over." As she said this Nabiki became aware of a certain chill in the air. Looking up in alarm she saw the tell tale amorphous shapes sliding down her titanium chains with relentless inevitability, finding her wrists and sliding over her body without actually getting her wet. A part of her consciousness was introspectively remarking on the singular fact that a Water Elemental could make physical contact without triggering her curse, but the rest of her was reacting in virtual panic, knowing what was about to happen. The creatures flowed over her skin until they completely surrounded her body, then the gag was removed and one creature inserted a tentacular member shaped very much like a phallus. It slid into her mouth and down her throat to her esophagus, not blocking her breathing passages so much as funneling air while the creatures totally engulfed her face and form. Nabiki felt the full-body embrace of the creatures flowing over her skin, caressing every sore inch in a soothing balm that eased away her lingering pain and gave support to her aching shoulders and muscles. Of course it was inevitable that they would begin to stimulate and probe her to renewed arousal, so that before too long she could feel them pressing against her loins seeking access to her inner folds as Nabiki's mind shaped the impression of two male members forcing their entrance. Before too long she felt them slide in and out of her vulva, pushing in and out of her rectum, forcing her to concede her moist inner depths as their stroked her inner folds with sensitive caresses that made her clench and writhe with a joy that could not be achieved through ordinary congress. The Undines brought her to a state of heightened arousal then left her hanging there with just sufficient stimulation to maintain her full erection. Nabiki's breasts were massaged and fondled with great suppleness as her ass cheeks were similarly squeezed to heighten her pleasure. Nabiki's mind was so filled with erotic imagery at this point that she thought that she would pass out from the sheer intensity of her this stimulation, but the Elementals very cunningly denied her release and kept her from the edge of a full climax. Before too long this had the desired effect on her as the build up of frustration demanded some kind of release, and Nabiki found herself yielding to the pleasures and urging them to give her what she so desperately needed. The denial and frustration eroded her resistance to their stimulation as Nabiki was pleasured in every aspect short of that release. Only her will to retain her independence kept her from complete surrender to the agony of this treatment as she fought to remain in self-control, knowing full well that it was a losing proposition. Nabiki thought of her wife, Shampoo, and of her iinazuke, Ranma, calling up their image in a last desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable, but these images backfired in that she only summoned an image of Shampoo that fit the mood of her current situation. Shampoo as her lover was at once a part of the fantasy that surrounded her self image and she felt one Elemental shaping itself in response to her mental image of the Amazon, while the other formed the male aspect of her beloved Ranma. Soon both Elementals were caressing her in human form, making love to Nabiki in a way that she had only dreamed of when masturbating and finding that image increased the intensity of her pleasure while she was still being denied the release she was still craving. Ranma positioned himself from behind and began to pump her from the rear while the other Elemental shaped like Shampoo positioned herself in front of Nabiki using her body to stroke and fondle her like a lover. It was a Shampoo who had a male cock imbedded firmly in Nabiki as their groins meshed in harmony, while the breasts of the beautiful Amazon caressed Nabiki's breasts as though they were as prehensile as hands, their bellies sliding together as Nabiki found the Elemental's mouth on her own was probing her with a tongue the size of a cock, deep-throating her while continuing to circulate oxygen into her system. Nabiki was beyond caring that this was illusion and not real substance making love to her, the fantasy was so real that she could no longer resist the urge of going along with their caresses. She did, however, obtain a level of mastery at this point as she sensed that the Elementals were responding to her sexual impulses, so working instinctually to play this to her advantage she began projecting her own eroticism into the Elementals, which intensified their efforts at making love to her body and mind. Nabiki studied this on a level that still worked objectively in her mind and used it to further the intensity of her own erotic imagery, feeling the Elementals respond with a pleasure that sated her desire for nominal self-determination. The Ranma humping her from the rear behaved exactly as she wished the real Ranma to do, while the Shampoo making love to her from the front end had all the skill and dexterity of the real Shampoo, only coupled with the full-body self-control that only an Undine was capable of achieving. The result was that they started responding to her stimulations, which put them over the edge so that they at last stopped blocking her impulses for release and permitted her to climax, which she did with a royal vengeance! The climax was an explosive thing unlike any other orgasm she had ever even conceived of. It was like a crashing tide that became a tsunami, flowing throughout her body in rippling waves of all-out pleasurable intensity, and from the way she shook the Elementals shuddered and experienced their own release. The Ranma Undine threw back his head and shot what felt like hot liquid up her spine, while the Shampoo undine gushed inside Nabiki from both ends she was penetrating. Nabiki's vulva clenched as she felt herself being flushed from inside by a geyser-like mini-eruption, which sent her over the edge once again while hot fluid shot down her throat and filled her mouth and belly, causing another shuddering climax that resulted in all three of them climaxing in trembling chorus. The elementals lost some of their self-control and began to melt against her skin, losing the separation of tensile contact that kept them from activating the curse. Nabiki felt her body shudder as she transformed to male aspect unexpectedly, forcing the Shampoo undine to withdraw its member lest it suffer a kind of castration. Instead it felt the shift of genitalia as Nabiki's clitoris became a penis, which so startled the Shampoo-undine that it forgot to withdraw and instead instinctively shaped its own loins to match that of a woman's vagina. Nabiki was already inside her as the Elemental withdrew its cock-shaped tongue from Nabiki's mouth and looked down in surprise at the now-male body it was caressing. Nabiki seized this opportunity to take the initiative, smiling to himself as he rotated his hip, causing his cock to slide and grind ever so slightly in the Elemental. The Undine responded to this with a look of surprise that became delight, then shifted to pleasure. Nabiki smiled as confidence swelled in him, as did his male member, which same he began to ever-so-gently thrust in and out of the creature, causing it to respond exactly as Shampoo would if it were her husband treating her to this sort of treatment. It wrapped a very human pair of legs around both Nabiki and the other elemental, which was recovering from its own surprise, male member still thrust all the way into Nabiki's anus. Of course the male Ranma recovered enough to begin taking advantage of this slack to renew its own efforts at stimulation. Nabiki had often wondered what it would be like if she could convince Ranma to make love to her in male form, and now she had a very vivid idea as the Undine thrust into her with renewed energy, ironically enabling Nabiki to thrust his cock into the other elemental. Before too long the Ranma Undine was pumping all three of them on their way to yet another explosive climax and it might have continued on that way for a time except that a voice interrupted, shattering the magic of the moment. <"What in the name of all my Sacred Ancestors are you two doing?"> At once both Undines halted in their thrusting, leaving Nabiki to hang there in frustration at being denied another release. He was still impaled upon the female Elemental and tried to use this to his advantage, but the Undine dissolved and flowed away from him, as did her masculine counterpart, leaving Nabiki slightly damp and dangling by her wrists once again without the support she had enjoyed mere moments ago. Nabiki turned in slight exasperation to see her captor approach her, too tired from her ordeal to work up much energy to voice her frustration. "Actually," Lao smiled after a few moments of studying her prey, circling Nabiki to examine the now-male Tendo with speculative interest, "That was a rather spectacular performance, and one I should congratulate you for as it proves once again how utterly resourceful you can be. I had not suspected you would learn so quickly how to project your own needs into my servants to make them respond the way you wanted. I shall have to talk to them once they reform again and explain the specific nature of my instructions concerning you. Oh well...even they can stand to learn a valuable lesson." Nabiki tried to talk and found her mouth was still full of some kind of viscous liquid. She spat a bit then coughed to clear herself, then said, "Hope you liked the performance." "Oh, I did," Lao smiled, giving a sultry look that ironically made Nabiki's male member stiffen slightly, which furthered the Pirate's interest, "You are very talented in either of your forms, but for the present I would prefer to deal with you in your natural aspect. I will get around to exploring your masculine qualities on another occasion." So saying she lifted a hand and summoned up a swirling mass of vapors, which condensed into a hot liquid that she splashed Nabiki with, causing the man to revert into female aspect once again. The decrease in mass was felt immediately as Nabiki sagged into her bonds, feeling more than slightly deflated at the reversion. "Much better," Lao reached out to fondle the nearest of Nabiki's full breasts and was pleased to see this time that there was no trace of aversion as Nabiki returned her gaze with a different kind of speculation, "We are making progress I can tell. Do you still consider me the very devil incarnate?" "No," Nabiki replied, "Just a talented understudy with delusions of grandeur." "But my aspirations are not delusional, I assure you," Lao grinned, "Come, let us go for a little walk. I assume you would like to stretch your legs a bit after hanging around for the last few hours?" "Hours?" could not help reacting, not having paid much attention to the time involved during her prolonged ordeal. The next second, however, she felt her wrist clasps unclasping and she dropped to the floor, even as her ankles were released by the spreader-bar. Nabiki instinctively tried to land with her usual cat-like grace but found her knees were too unsteady and her legs lacked the strength to support her. Fortunately Lao was there to catch her as she stumbled, and for once Nabiki found that she did not resent the embrace of the Pirate, whose hands copped a quick feel in a manner that must have been entirely second-nature. "Easy does it," Lao replied, "For the next several minutes you'll feel a bit like a landlubber. Allow me to lend you my strength as I know what it feels like." "You do?" Nabiki replied in skeptical inquiry. "Of course," Lao said as they started forward, "When I first came to the POJ I was a slave to its Master. Remind me to tell you the full story, it will raise more than your eyebrows..." Once Lao had fitted Nabiki out again in her ankle chains and cuffs and was hitched once again to a leash she led the way back out into the corridor, where they found the chariot awaiting them once again, though the four slave girls were not yet attached to their harness. They were being "Petted down" by their grooms, who massaged and oiled the girls' bodies while combing out their hair with brushes. The slave girls endured this treatment in what seemed like very good spirits, not so much in resignation of their inability to tend to themselves as a willingness on their parts to go along with the game and make the most of their situation. "My lady," the head groom bowed low at Lao's approach, "Your Ponies have been tended to as per your instructions. They have been fed and watered and are ready once more to serve you." "Very good," Lao smiled, "Have them hitched and ready to move. I want to take my new pet on a little tour of the ship to let her see more of what she missed the last time that she was here." "As you wish, my lady," the groom bowed again, then relayed instructions to her companions, who led the four Pony girls back to the harness and hitched them firmly in place, then attached their bridles to the reigns as the girls opened their mouths to take the leather bits between their teeth, giving no sign of resistance or protest as they were made ready for travel. "Magnificent aren't they?" Lao grinned, "The product of much patient care and personal training. It is very hard to get a good working team like this, few women have the stamina or strength to pull a harness, and fewer still the discipline and rhythm to coordinate their steps." She was looking at Nabiki as she said this, which made the other girl feel suddenly quite nervous. She could not help but compare herself to the beautiful girls decked out like harness animals and noted that in general build and size they matched her very well. The only difference that she could see was in the length of their hair, which in these girls had been worked into long, fluffy ponytails, which gave them the look almost of Claisdales. Once the harness was ready Lao stepped up into the chariot and drew Nabiki along, making her stand in place while a belt was fastened around her waist with a chain on one end that led to the front rail of the chariot itself. Lao was about to get matters started again when she paused to consider Nabiki, an odd look of mischief in her eyes as she seemed to consider her for a minute. "You know, there is one thing I've been meaning to ask," Lao remarked as she reached down with a hand and ran her fingers up Nabiki's spine, then brought her pig tail into view and said, "Why do you wear this thing all of the time? I can understand you keeping your hair short in front, but a pig tail?" "Ah," Nabiki found herself even more nervous than when she was considering the Pony women, "It's...kind of a special thing...I've been keeping it that way for years, ever since a little incident that happened when I was little..." "Indeed?" Lao considered the point, "It has personal significance to you? Is this some matter of honor or an oath you once made?" "Ah...not exactly," Nabiki wilted. "Then you won't mind if I undo it," Lao smiled, and before Nabiki could finish her protest she undid the cord that held the pig tail in place and unwound the braid, combing it back with her fingers so that there was now a long stream of fine brown hair running down Nabiki's back. Nabiki felt a tingling almost at once and braced herself for the inevitable. Lao gasped in surprise as it happened, Nabiki's hair beginning to grow at a fantastically accelerated rate until it fell over her shoulders in the front while the hairs down her back now extended nearly to her ankles. Lao looked at the chord in her hand and said, "I take this is magical?" "A Dragon whisker," Nabiki sighed, "It keeps my hair from growing out naturally. With it removed...well...you can see for yourself," she looked down with mild disgust as her bangs drooped over her nipples, while her eyes were completely hidden by the hair that fell partly over her face, curling slightly as it thickened. "Ah!" Lao remarked in understanding as the process finally completed itself and Nabiki's hair settled into its new and more wavier pattern, "Now at last I see why you have never bothered to style it any other way! Everything is so much clearer now...well, in a manner of speaking." "Ha ha," Nabiki noted sourly, unable to see Lao's face as she felt more like Cousin It from the Addam's family. She was powerfully reminded of why she had always considered the Dragons Whisker to be among her most prized of personal possessions. Long hair looked good on someone like Shampoo, Ukyo or Perfume, but as far as her own tastes went she much preferred to keep it short where it really mattered. "Hmm," Lao combed some of that hair out of Nabiki's eyes and consider her for a moment, then smiled, "We're going to have to do something about that, aren't we? This does open some interesting possibilities, however. I won't have to wait for your hair to grow out more, and once it's properly styled I can even give you a proper Amazon hairstyle. Won't that be nice?" "Oh yeah," Nabiki's tone dripped sarcasm, "Just peachy." "Well then," Lao gathered Nabiki's hair up in her hands and used the whisker to tie it into a proper pony tail from the rear. At once some of the hairs in front began to shorten back to normal, but the effect was very different from the pigtail she normally wore. Nabiki sighed as she thought with gratitude that there was no mirror present to see what she now looked like. She had a sneaking hunch she more than slightly resembled the Pony women, which no doubt had been Lao's intention. "Now then," Lao faced resolutely forward, picking up the riding whip and giving it a flick against the flanks of the four awaiting slave girls, which caused them at once to start forward again with perfectly synchronized rhythm, "I thought I'd take you to one of the cargo holds where a fresh stock of recently recruited girls is being processed through basic orientation." The trip through the wide corridor was a brief one and ended at once as they came out into a very large chamber with a vaulted ceiling that once again appeared too huge to fit inside the dimensions of a ship, unless that ship were a Supertanker. Nabiki's eyes widened as the more-than-adequate lighting in this room gave her an amble view of the chamber and its contents. Everywhere she looked there were beautiful women on display or all races, types and sizes, some so radiant that they could almost be supermodels. It's just that many of them were suspended above the ground or stretched out across implements of torture or display in poses that could catalogue the different forms of bondage that the human form could be placed within. Girls dangled naked from the ceilings in *most* uncomfortable positions, some with their arms, legs or torsos positioned in ways that had to be quite stressful, depending on how long they had been left there. There were pleading looks and despairing grimaces on a great many of these faces, and all the while semi-naked women wearing leather harnesses were tending to them or flicking them with riding crops, whips or velvet flails. They liberally tormented their charges, seeming to delight in their helpless groans and grunts of discomfort while taking liberties by pinching, fondling or stroking exposed flesh. It was a sight to warm the heart of the Marquis de Sade, and Lao barely even batted an eyelash as she waved to the girls on display and said, "A magnificent stock, wouldn't you say? I expect to get a very nice price for this lot once they're been properly trained and made ready for their new duties." "How can you do this?" Nabiki asked her, "How can you be so casual about treating other human beings with such cruelty?" "Cruelty?" the word seemed to genuinely surprise Lao, "Does this seem cruel to you? Well, I suppose it must, given that you are still learning the basic rules to the Pleasure Game. I deal in human merchandise, Tendo-san, but I am neither cruel nor callous. I care very much about my charges, which is why I do my best to see that they come away from this experience much better able to enjoy life in all its little foibles. Teaching them to let go of their old lives and outworn personal morals is only the first step to their eventual evolution from unrefined slave to full fledged courtesans of grace and stature. Many even thank me for the gift when the time at last comes to sell them..." "I don't believe you," Nabiki shook her head, "How can any one get used to this...?" she turned with a look of disbelief at seeing a woman dangling upside down with her body bent so far backwards that she looked ready to break in two, yet who was actually moaning in what sounded surprisingly like acute pleasure. "You'll find out in good time," Lao smiled, "For now take heart that I chose to personally supervise your orientation. You may believe that I have been a bit rough with you, but compared to the alternatives I've actually been quite gentle." Nabiki had no idea what that meant and was pretty sure she did not want to know either, seeing the examples all around them of just the sort of treatment she could expect if Lao chose to get even more nasty. She settled back to enduring whatever sort of ordeal the pirate lady had in store for her this time, but to her surprise the chariot continued on past where Lao's "Merchandise" hung out on display and eventually arrived at another alcove, where a fresh set of grooms were waiting to take control of the Pony Girls and their bridle. Lao stepped from the Chariot and helped Nabiki to do likewise then proceeded towards what looked to be a kind of open elevator shaft, much like the ones that existed close to a century ago, with brass railing and an overhead pulley that Lao explained was powered by a primitive hydraulic system. The elevator carried them up two floors until they arrived at a familiar corridor, and from there Lao led the way to a particular set of double doors that Nabiki already knew from prior experience. She was much surprised to find herself led on the leash into Lao's personal Seraglio that doubled as a Captain's cabin where two dozen semi-nude girls reclined or otherwise "relaxed" in the hedonistic atmosphere of Arabian Nights splendor. "Home sweet home," Lao sighed as she took in the beautifully erotic sight of so many lovely women relaxing and indulging themselves (or each other) in a way that seemed somehow entirely natural, given that every one of these women were pledged to Lao as her personal retainers, "If you learn to behave this is where you can eventually sleep, if sleep is the operative term I would use to describe it," she snickered in gentle tones of wry affection. "My lady," one of the slave girls got up with a buoyant smile that seemed all too eager to please, not coached or forced as Nabiki would have imagined. She seemed about to go on but Lao gently waved a hand dismissively as it to say that there was no need for such formalities. "At ease, Kreme, no need for anyone to stop what they're doing. I only came to show our new friend the sort of life that she can look forward to if she learns to let go of her inhibitions." "Indeed," the one named Kreme, who had very pale skin and silky black hair, gave Nabiki an eager lookover that as much as caressed her from a distance, "Will she be staying long enough for us to help in her indoctrination, my lady?" "I think that would be a splendid idea," Lao smiled, giving Nabiki a wry look as she added, "Our new recruit has expressed doubts at to my sincerity in fair treatment. She seems to think it is impossible that anyone should be willing to abide with me of their own free will and volition." "Then it will be our sacred task to convince her otherwise," Kreme noted with obvious anticipation. "Then I will entrust her to you for the present," Lao replied as she handed the leash over, "Take very good care of her and by all means show your hospitality. After all, she is a guest in residence whom I hope might one day be joining us on an extended basis. You know the routine. I will stop back here in a couple of hours. For now I really must be tending to other duties." "But of course, my lady," Kreme said as she took firm hold of Nabiki's leash and gave it a light jerk to encourage Nabiki to step forward. Slipping a hand around Nabiki's waist the other girl said, "Everything will be tended to as if she were our own beloved sister. We will show her every courtesy as befits a guest as well as a new pledge for the Harem." "Very good," Lao replied, "Use your best discretion, but by no means unchain her. She has formidable fighting skills, as you may already have heard and should not be underestimated. If she causes any problems I will know of it immediately and hasten back to express my displeasure." "Then I will endeavor to see that her chains remain in place, my lady," Kreme assured them, giving Nabiki's leash a light tug to emphasize her point, bringing Nabiki's face to within inches of her own as her smile grew more daunting, "You and I will be the best of friends before the evening is begun, I assure you. Cause no trouble and you'll find that I can be especially nice with new Pledges. Cross me and I will do everything within the parameters allowed to me to see that you regret it." "I'll leave you to get better acquainted," Lao chuckled, turning to the double doors once again before adding, "Let her interview the other girls and hear for herself what they think of their lot. Let's see how long she can hold onto her skepticism and belief that I am somehow the bad guy." Lao closed the door behind her and Nabiki turned to study the face of the other girl before her. If she was expecting the woman to "drop the act" and show her real character at that point, however, she was sadly disappointed. "So you want to cause trouble for our lady, eh?" Kreme drew the leash tighter, forcing Nabiki to lean ever closer until she and this other woman were almost touching faces and bare breasts, "Well, nobody can get away with doing that here. We have ways of dealing with troublemakers in this harem, isn't that right, girls?" Nabiki saw grins and eager expressions and was suddenly quite nervous about her current prospects. There were more than a few girls easing closer to where she was standing as Kreme continued to play Matron with her leash and it began to occur to Nabiki that she might be in for a major gang bang. Kreme continued to smile at her, then gently eased back and urged Nabiki forward until they were standing before a number of fluffy pillows on the floor. The moon-pale girl then urged Nabiki to sit down upon these pillows while six other girls crowded closer until they surrounded Nabiki like a ring of predatory creatures. Everyone sat as Kreme inclined herself next to Nabiki's helpless form and idly stroked a finger along the side of one bare breast. "So then," she purred amorously, "What would you like to know first about our lives as slaves to our loving, gentle Mistress?" "Gentle?" Nabiki asked, unable to keep her eyes from trailing down to where the other girl's fingers were tugging and pinching one nipple. The other woman snickered, "As far as we're concerned our Lady is the kindest soul on Earth, Tokyo flower. By the way, my name is Kreme, daughter of Sum Yung Gai, Senior Slave in Madam Lao's personal seraglio of handpicked women. I coordinate activities here with my fellow slaves, we're something of an extended family, don't you know? Our Lady owns us and has personally seen to our training and supervision." "And you don't mind the fact that she's taken away your freedom?" Nabiki asked, then gasped as the other girl pulled her nipple tightly, then squeezed her breast as if to determine its ripeness. "Freedom is an exaggerated luxury," the pale girl said with sultry humor, "Very few people are as free as they imagine themselves to be. I was very unhappy with my former life, but now I know love and have a purpose to my existence. You'll find similar stories with just about everyone here. We're all quite content with our lives on board the POJ, Japanese, and you will be too once you've had time to really think about it." "I doubt that," Nabiki said, then gasped again as her other breast received the magical pinching treatment. "They're so soft and yet so firm," Kreme said approvingly, "You have beautiful breasts. I'm going to have great fun with you. There is such a firmness to your body, you must work out a lot. Our lady says you are a martial artist...well, welcome to the club because I am too." "You?" Nabiki gasped as she was fondled expertly while the other girls looked on in approval. "Oh yes," Kreme chuckled, "But I thought I'd rather make love than war with my lady. The thing about Martial Artists is that we have such fine muscle- tone...rather like the quality of a violin string when you stroke it..." her hand slid down to lightly run against Nabiki's belly as it made its way delicately down to the bald area where Nabiki's loins were exposed, "You see? You make such fine music when I stroke you..." "Oh, she looks so responsive!" one of the other girls cooed happily, "Can I try, Kreme?" "Can I?" said another lovely with much enthusiasm. "By all means, dears," Kreme chuckled, "Our Mistress gave her to us to play with for dessert. Just take your time and have free samples, there's plenty of her to go around on the menu." Nabiki swallowed as she privately wondered if Kreme's description was figurative or literal, seeing the hungry expressions of these women as they converged on her from all directions. She gasped as one girl took a breast in hand and brought her lips up to encircle the nipple then allowed her tongue to playfully flick against her before she took that breast into her mouth and suckled Nabiki with enthusiasm. As she was doing this Nabiki felt both of her legs being stroked, caressed and fondled by two sets of very different hands as one slave each took command of that leg and parted her thighs to allow a third girl easy access. Nabiki had to bit down on her lower lip to stifle an urge to cream as she felt warm lips caress her sensitive skin as gentle kisses were planted around and about her loins, working in an ever-tightening circle until those lips found her engorged slit and could begin to hungrily devour her. Those lips slid over her bald pelvis and found her clit with great ease as fingers parted her vulva lips before a single digit was very carefully inserted. Nabiki shuddered with the desire to grind her thighs but instead just arched her back and endured this treatment as a second mouth found her other breast and all but swallowed her nipple as she was caressed and fondled there. The combination of mouth and fingers on her loins was driving her to distraction...for only Shampoo--her beloved wife--had ever given her this much pleasure at one time. It was plainly obvious that these girls were professionals at the pleasure trade for how else could one account for the prowess they displayed in ravishing the helpless Tendo mercenary? Nabiki turned her face towards the ceiling as if pleading to the gods for relief, only to find her view was blocked by another bald pelvis as Kreme settled in on top of her with an eager smile of anticipation. At this point Nabiki was beyond putting up any token resistance and just surrendered to her instincts as the pale girl's moistened slit was offered to her and without any restraint on her part she thrust her tongue up into that velvety depth and began to probe her with longing. It was a surprisingly easy gesture on her part, finding the other girl's clit and teasing it with both teeth and tongue, and there was very little time before her obedience was rewarded by a clenching convulsion, followed in good order by a stream of milky white fluid that she was all to ready and hungry to devour in earnest. The other girls made sure her own convulsive climax was quick to follow, and once more Nabiki felt herself putting out for another hungry female as she fed the girl with the honey-sweet juice of her body. This only encouraged the other girl to happily continue her onslaught, using her other hand to probe with a finger up her other hole and twist it around until Nabiki was grinding in response to the wonderful pleasuring she received from both openings, and the juice that again jetted into her mouth in response to her own probings. Nabiki was in heaven and admitted same as she felt her breasts being stimulated in a way that almost made her gasp in disbelief because it felt as though she were actually lactating. Such an idea was absurd, of course, but it did feel as though the two women suckling her like hungry babes were moaning with pleasure as if jets of clear fluid were being ejected form her rock-hard nipples. Meanwhile her legs were being stroked and caressed into glorious hyperstimulation while each girl took their time working their mouths up to kiss, lick, fondle, caress and suckle on her bare feet, giving special attention to both toes and ankles as Nabiki felt the wonderful sensations this cause shoot up her legs into her thighs and loins then course up her spine to produce another explosive wave of orgiastic delirium. The six girls riding her were giving her such an onslaught of feminine carnal delights that she did indeed feel as though she were a feast being devoured in the all together. Being "Eaten alive" like this was an incredible turn on and something she had never even considered being a part of until now but she found that she did not want the experience to end as it gave her wave after wave of mind-numbing climax. It was with great regret that she drifted off to sleep, or quite possibly fainted, because she awoke some time later finding herself on a bed with two other women laying beside her, each of whom was more gently stroking her body without the same intensity as the other women. "Well," the girl laying in front of her smiled, "Back among the living, I see. So, how do you like being in Madam Lao's academy so far?" "Keiko?" Nabiki said in disbelief, finding that it was indeed the redheaded kickboxer stretched out nude at her side as though reprising the time they had first become lovers. "And someone else you should know very well," purred a sultry voice from behind her that made Nabiki's eyebrows climb, even as strong hands moved around to pull her firmly up against the warm body positioned to her other side, directly behind where she was laying on the mattress. "K-Kodachi?" Nabiki almost shuddered as she felt a pair of pointy breasts poke hard at her shoulderblades as the Black Rose held her firmly in place and nuzzled her nape hairs slightly. "The very same," Kodachi cooed, her hands finding easy access with so much of Nabiki exposed to her caress, "How I have dreamed of getting you like this...and now our Mistress has generously delivered you into our keeping..." "Good to see you again, Nab-chan," Keiko allowed one hand to caress Nabiki's soft cheek before sliding down through the cleft between her breasts as Kodachi took one in her hand and began to play with it until it hardened, "I know you've got a lot of questions..." "I'll say!" Nabiki gasped as Keiko's hand moved gently over her belly to find her way to Nabiki's velvety loins, "Ah...I thought you two...were back in Nerima..." "Just because our Mistress returned us home doesn't mean we're not allowed to pay her occasional visits," Keiko smiled fondly, "Besides...we both wanted to see how you were doing. 'Dachi-chan never did get the chance to make it up to you for the way she used to come onto you so strongly..." "Oh yes," Kodachi enthused, "This is my chance to show you how sorry I am that I behaved like such a nuisance. I hope when I'm done you will finally be able to forgive me..." "Ah, that's quite all right..." Nabiki gasped, feeling her nipples harden yet again to her consternation, "I've already forgiven you..." "Not the way I'm planning to do this," Kodachi chuckled in a way that made Nabiki shudder in ominous realization. "I have missed you so much," Keiko sighed as she leaned closer to Nabiki and kissed her on the lips, to which Nabiki could not help but respond warmly. Then the redhead murmured, "Truth is...'Dachi and I want to ask you for a little favor..." "You...what?" Nabiki gasped, quite distracted by the amorous treatment she was receiving from these two ladies. "Something you already did for Kuonji Ukyo and her beloved," Kodachi grinned as she fondled Nabiki with such skill and artistry that it was impossible to resent such treatment, especially what with the way Keiko's own hand was giving her good reason to enjoy this. The Black rose leaned forward and murmured sensually in her ear, "Can you guess what that is?" Nabiki blinked, then gasped, "But...you...what...?" "We want to have a baby," Keiko replied, "We think we're ready for it, and we've discussed it in advance. Lao had suggested Instant Nannichuan, but I thought maybe with your help the more personal touch might apply, and you really won't have to do very much but sit for a few hours in a bird cage as a Vulture." Nabiki gasped, "But...that's crazy!" "Yes it is," Kodachi enthused before nibbling on her ear and adding, "So am I...so what's your point?" "'Dachi's decided she wants to carry our first child to term," Keiko replied to Nabiki's unfinished question, "I'm going to be the father and Lao has offered to assist us by manipulating our fertility cycle to improve the odds in our favor. This is the one thing I haven't been able to give 'Dachi since our marriage, and I want this sense of completion, even if it means becoming a guy for a few hours. That's partly the reason why 'Dachi wants me to be the Fama, the other part being that I'm not too good with guys and really can't get that worked up about doing one, even if it is 'Dachi. This way we can do it with enthusiasm and have it all the ways that guys like you turn into can take so much for granted. You don't mind helping us out, do you, Nab-chan? We can both make it worth your while afterwards if you need more convincing..." Nabiki was only half paying attention, her mind having other stimulus to process, some of which was taking precedence over a little thing such as her reason. She wanted to argue about this, to come up with a good rationalization of just why it was such a bad idea, and how she would turn down her friends in spite of the pain this might cause them. This was basically what she intended to do except that she was finding the idea of hurting Keiko and disappointing Kodachi rather unpleasant for some strange reason. The idea that she might be able to help them as she had Ukyo and Perfume was, after all, basically altruistic, even if it did mean going along once again with Lao's schemes and sacrificing that much more of her independence. Besides which she rather suspected that the request was only a matter of formality, and should she refuse her "cooperation" would be engineered with or without her actual approval...
