All respects to Rumiko Takashi, her characters are obviously not mine, and not my property. This is a lemon side-story, with no real place in the actual continuity of my story. Dedicated to all those artists out there who put our favorite anime onna in a new and pleasant light ^.- Baka gajin no Nerima (The Fool Foreigner of Nerima) Hentai Side Story 2 Abduction, Fear the Rose Alex had a slight limp as he exited the kitchen after making himself lunch. Three days later he was still having trouble sitting and walking correctly. Of course no matter how much he tried to deny it he had been thoroughly satisfied then and was almost starting to want more. He slapped himself and shook his head a few times until his thoughts were back on track, and he decided he'd bolt for a while, get out for some time in the town instead. Suddenly Nekohaten came to mind. However that train of thought was quickly derailed by the ever present connection between him and Shampoo now. He grumbled and sat down in the Tendo yard muttering to himself, calling himself an idiot and a pervert in every language he knew, trying to think of some excuse to leave so he could get his mind of dirty sweaty hot and heavy sex with hermaphrodites. A passionate cry emanated from Nabiki's room. She had forgone sealing her doors and windows when Ranma & Akane were out, trying to lure him back with what might as well have been a carnal Siren song. Trying to get his mind off sex again, he pondered the Ranma & Akane question. The situation between those two had changed dramatically in the past few days. Alex couldn't quite place it. Akane hadn't thrown Ranma into the koi pond, and Ranma hadn't said one bad word, not even about her cooking. Alex considered that Akane made a second attempt confessing to Ranma and that it had either suceeded, or failing that, had a profound affect on the martial artist. Now they were out doing something that neither he nor the other two sisters were aware of, atleast so they said. Instead of going out, Alex tried doing katas in the yard. That however proved futile, as the moans and grunts from Nabiki's room continued unabated, making concentration nigh impossible. That's when he nabbed his coat and jumped the wall, walking off in a random direction just to get away from those primal sounds that got any half-living person feeling bothered. While walking with his eyes down toward the ground he tried to figure out which way to go. He pulled out his headphones and put them on, turning on his CD player and cranking the volume to full blast, listening to his favorite Metallica album, "Master of Puppets". For some reason that very song always made him think of Nabiki...well maybe there was a very good reason for that actually. With his eyes down, observing the various cracks and marks in the pavement, and his music most likely doing permanent damage to his hearing, he didn't notice how many different people he nearly ran into. If he had been one step slower he would have been splashed by some old lady on the streets in fact. With the music assaulting his senses, his mind was going through a very complex problem. Nabiki had dirt on him, and with it she could continue to exploit him and build up even more dirt. Undoubtly she had taped the fucking he'd gotten the other day, and was eager to user her camera some more. He wouldn't be surprised if edited versions and snapshots were already being circulated through her connections. God he wanted to strangle her. Unfortunatly since Nabiki wasn't anywhere nearby, he found a dropped soda can on the ground, so he kicked the damn thing with everything he had. He saw it sail through the air for a moment, then a black rose suddenly pierced the aerial piece of aluminum. He heard that horrific laugh even over his music. His entire body shuddered and he was almost afraid to look over his shoulder, but he had to. Kodachi was standing in the sidewalk, her laugh echoing throughout the streets. Anyone who was still hanging around, was quickly beating feet to vacate. Alex had a massive sweat tear on the back of his head. She seemed to be speaking, but with his headphones on all he could hear was 'Sanitarium'. A blank expression crossed his face. Kodachi seemed aggitated and pointed toward his headphones. He casually removed them, music still playing at full force, but not quite as obstructing to his hearing now. "Honestly, I love you my darling but your tastes and manners are atrocious at times! Would you care to indulge me and turn that horrid noise down?" Kodachi was in full high & mighty mode. Alex complied, killing the power to his CD player. The only sound now was the blowing wind and the ambient background noise of a small community. "Sorry about that...what was it you were saying?" He asked, just for the sake of humouring her. "I was asking if you would like to come over to my father's estate. Those sick twisted Tendo girls have had you captive and I am here to give you some freedom. Come along now." She turned around and snapped, expecting me to follow. "If you honestly think I'm gonna go cause you say so and snap your fingers, you obviously don't know me. Why don't you go to a kennel and find a lab if you want a lapdog." Alex was quite honestly insulted. He would tolerate a lot, but if there's one thing he wouldn't tolerate is being treated as an inferior by a peer. Kodachi spun on him, with what could only be described as pure fire. "I give you some leway because you are not of my land pet, but I will not be talked down to! Follow now and I will forgo having to discipline you." Alex did an eyebrow quirk, "Discipline? Listen Kodachi you seriously need some help, if you don't mind me I think I'm going to get something to eat." He turned on the ball of his foot and started walking away, putting his headphones back on and starting the music again. 'Battery' played like an auditoray masterpiece in his ears. He expected what was coming next. He quickly ducked and saw a club dart over his head. He then dove and rolled to the side to see a hoop sail on by and slice into a nearby telephone pole. All this time his back was still to her. However when he felt the ribbon blow knock him to the ground, he rolled away and faced her. She was wearing something different this time. Instead of covering her entire body in a leotard it was more of a two piece, if you could even call those pieces. Her breasts (that's all her top covered) were barely held in check by the incredibly tight and sleeveless black leather top she had on. She obviously wasn't wearing any bra, and her nipples showed a bit of excitement. _Acting like a bitch must really turn her on._ Alex thought. Meanwhile, below the waist she wore a pair of black leather briefs that could very well have been painted on. They did very little to hide a very evident bulge where her female sex would have been. She was also wearing a wicked pair of stilleto heels. _Wait a second._ Alex checked his glasses and cleaned them quickly. Then he looked again. "Kodachi, please don't tell me that's what I think it is." He said dispariginly. She held her hand up infront of her face and emitted that soul shattering laugh. "Do you like it pet? Follow me and I'll show it to you." Alex was completely off-guard at the thought and she lept at him. Her ribbon came out to wrap him up but he whipped his staff out, and used it to tangle the ribbon instead, and then tugged, bringing Kodachi to the ground. "I knew learning that hidden weapons technique would come in handy." He grinned and quickly tugged his staff, taking her ribbon from her, which was currently wrapped and knotted around his staff. He looked and noticed that she didn't seem to be moving, but still breathing. "Guess the impact knocked her out." He began to unwrap the ribbon when he heard that familiar enough whiz to stick his staff out. A single rose struck deep into the bamboo reed. He looked and saw Kodachi standing again. She had been playing possum. "You're getting better Kodachi, not much like your brother." He noted. "Why thank you. My brother always has been a fool at fighting I'm afraid." Kodachi whipped out a ball and hurled it with a perfect knuckle ball technique. Their was no spin and it moved erradically, Alex seriously had to focus to hit it. With a satisfying thwack the ball sailed across the sky and exploded in a cloud of powder far from the fight. "You know with all these powders and stuff people might think you're a coke fiend Kodachi." Alex chuckled to himself. "I will not tolerate disobedience or mocking!" She whipped out another hoop and started a very deadly cartwheel. The slice she made across the ground struck up sparks all over. Alex dodged out of the way, but as soon as he did she stopped and spun horizontally, throwing everything she had into it. The vorpal hoop went sailing to him in an arc to akward to dodge . He stuck his staff out to intercept it. Splinters flew, his staff was now in two pieces and the hoop continued through several houses. "What're you trying to do you crazy bitch? Kill me?" He noted that there was a broad slash across his shirt and a cut on his chest. Kodachi laughed, "A little more that you expected yes?" She produced two clubs and charged. He couldn't hide more than one object on himself unlike Mousse, so he had no means of parrying as she began the Strike of Twenty Clubs. He had to quickly dodge and roll to the side. The clubs soon became spiked and he was dodging several of them being hurled at him once. _Damnit, don't want to hurt the crazy broad, but she's either gonna kill me or knock me out if I don't do something!_ The clubs became roses after not to long. Obviously she wasn't going to enter into any sort of close range with him where he might overpower her. He felt a sting across his cheek now and was bleeding from a glancing sharpend shaft. He felt woozy for a second but quickly caught balance. She had obviously coated the tips with some funky drug. If one of those stuck him he'd be down. "Yes it's so interesting what you can dip these things in. Why I could have even chosen a contact aphrodisiac." She laughed and tossed another which cut his sleeve and scratched him up the arm. He felt his body start to slow down from the drug but he tried to avoid as much as he could. Unfortunately when he felt one stick him in the leg he knew it was over. He could only see her laughing face as his eyes closed and he hit the ground. When his eyes opened he'd had an idea of what was coming. He felt a stinging on his leg, but very little else. His senses were still very fuzzy. His glasses were still on thankfully so he had an easy time seeing when his vision had cleared. He was on his back, he could tell that much, and his head was apparently not tied to anything. He lifted it up and saw that his wrists were tied to bed posts, and turn to look forward he saw Kodachi swabbing his leg with alcohol where her rose had stuck him. He felt that all his cuts were band-aided aswell. What dispaired him though was when he felt that his legs were bound at the ankles and apparently suspended midair and spread eagle by some pulleys. He was also, bare naked, big surprise there. "Such a bad bad boy, making me hurt you and then drag you back here. How humiliating." She said in very belittling tone. She stood up and disposed of all the materials she had been using to treat him. He got a good look around the room. It was a contrast of blood red and shiny black all over. Even the sheets were like that. He decided to try and break his bonds, but found it to be futile. The bed was sturdy stuff, and so were the ropes. "Now now pet, silk rope just doesn't tear that easily, but doesn't it feel nice against your skin? Only the best for my pets." She continued to speak in that tone that drove him nuts. She was right though, silk rope was tough stuff and wouldn't break for him, he wasn't that strong yet. It did feel soft against him, almost sensous. "This isn't cool Kodachi, come on untie me and I'll call the nice men in white coats." He continued to struggle even if it was in vain, a natural part of his rather stubborn personality. "You know pet I brought you here for a special reason. You've been unfaithful, pet." She was sure to emphasize on unfaithful and the word pet. "Unfaithful, since when did I have any obligation with you?" He scoffed. He felt a painful swat against his rear, and the loud thwack that was the result of large leather paddle against his skin. "No questioning! I'll be asking the questions and getting the answers, pet." He decided to forget about talking back. He felt the heat and redness from that last one and didn't want another dose. She pulled out an innocent looking VHS tape. "I purchased this from a retailer not more than a day ago, and what I found on it was not something I agree with." She walked over to a television and popped the tape in the VCR. The TV turned on and Alex saw what was him and Kasumi fucking with just black circles over their faces. You could still make out their bodies and the fact that Alex was a natural blonde. He blushed furiously. "Hmm such pretty body, almost like yours, why he's even as trim and lean and still as strong looking as you are, and a natural blonde to." She then reached and grasped his balls with one hand and squeezed them. "Hmm, yes I'd say these are about the same size too....well? Care to explain pet?" She squeezed a bit harder. He gritted his teeth, "Nabiki blackmailed me into it goddamnit." She released his poor jewels, "Oh is that so? Those horrible Tendo's, who is the one taking you hmm? That slut Akane who tries to steal Ranma from me? Or that vapid but incredibly good cook of an eldest sister..Kasumi? Well? TELL ME!" Alex continued, "They're probably both better fucks than you are you psycho." He winced and felt another hard swat against his rear. "Don't test my patience. Well I should be thankful then. This is only a simple case of that horrible harlot Nabiki. Well if it wasn't for her I honestly wouldn't be in possession of all the rare and wonderful things I have here. She really is a great buisness woman, but if the devil walked the Earth..." She shrugged. "Well since what happened with them was nothing but blackmail, I'm sure you'll only love what I'm going to do with you.." She grasped his sack again but didn't squeeze this time, she only stroked and carassed it. Of course the only natural reaction was to moan and groan and feel a general rush of blood. The Black Rose was quick to notice her loves excitement, and increased her carassesing for abit, then took her hands away. "Well, my pet is certainly healthy it seems. Now hmmm where did I put that..." She put her finger against her chin thoughtfully and wandered off. He decided to try some desperate stuff, first he got a look around the room. By the looks of the light behind the dark satin drapes it was still daytime and of course the amount of light suggested a large window he could attempt to break through. He tried to move his head so that he could try and chew through his arm bindings, but he wasn't any Plastic Man so that wasn't going to work for him. He tried tugging on them again, but whatever she had pumped him up with was still doing a good job. He noticed how ornate the room was. Aside from the impressive television and colorful drapes, there was a very gilded mirror, hand carved ebony drawers. He also noticed the 'rack'. Just a peg board with lots of arms and things hanging from them. Things that spoke volumes about Kodachi's tastes. A ribbon, plenty of different sized paddles, leather strap cat-o-ninetails, a very large variety of dildos, plugs, tubes of lube, 'massagers', hand-cuffs, gags, blind folds, masks (even a gas mask), and the meanest looking bull whip he'd ever seen. He felt a sudden dread, and he realized that if he didn't cooperate in the sack, he'd probably be on the recieving end and have quite a few scars to show for this little escapade, if he ever even got out of here. He didn't like his options. "Honestly, you must stop muttering in that barbaric English, pet." He heard the click of heels against the wooden floor. "If I am you present you for my friends you must act more Japanese. Speak and act properly for one of your posistion. I'm sure all of the other girls would just love to see my lovely foregin catch." She finally came into his field of vision holding a small jar of something, which she set down on a bedside stand. "I've told them everything about you, they go wild when I talk about your hair." She leaned down and softly took two handfuls of his hair, not tugging or pulling in anyway, and leaning forward to take a deep breath of his scent. "So beautiful, even fragrant." She pulled herself back up and let go of his hair, and began to stroke it softly, like an old woman with a cat. It was incredibly demeaning and Alex was considering taking the whip. He noticed her free hand going for the jar, and dip into it, taking her fingers out, covered with some oily clear substance. He noticed now she was wearing black latex gloves. "Curious I see? I mentioned some of the things I got from that scam artist Nabiki. This is that contact aphrodesiac...I could have coated my roses with this and one scratch would be enough to make you hard in an instant. Just imagine what a handful will do when I rub some...here?" She took two fingers and rubbed some of the slick gel against one of his nipples. He felt like someone had lit his chest hair on fire, but in a pleasant way. His nipple was about erect as a mans could get and he was honestly panting from the sensory excessiveness. "Oh my, does that turn you on deary?" She took his other between two slick oily fingers and pinched and twisted it. He arched his back into it, felling his entire chest tense up. When she released the teet he was panting again. "No...way..." He said between gasps of air. Kodachi noticed a label on that jar at the moment and looked at it, reading it aloud. "Hmm, excessive use may lead to unbalanced libido, physical side-effects, and possible brain damage. Well, I use it all the time and I'm quite fine wouldn't you say pet?" She took another scoop out and rubbed it all over his stomach, causing him to groan. She then traced her hands down to his groin, and started to stroke and rub his length and sack. It was like all his sexual senses had been dipped in kerosene and lit with a blow torch. The explosion was like bright searing light in his brain and sent his body into brief spasms. When she took her hands away it was like being dipped in cool water, he snapped out of everything and things were incredibly clear but his head was swimming. Aparrently he had already orgasmed. His stomach and her hands were covered with his jizz. "Oh my very healthy indeed.." She licked some of it off. "Delicious, I wonder how much you'll make later..." She licked the rest off with delight and climbed into the bed. She slowly but surely took her top off first, letting her breasts swing free, obviously still very excited, the nipples protuding almost ridiculously long, over an inch a piece. She took another scoop of the gel and rubbed it all over her breasts and in her clevage, moaning loudly for him as she played with her substantial pair of 'lungs', until her nipples were nearly two inches long each. She decided to show him the big package now, slipping out of her briefs to reveal her 11" long and nearly 2" thick cock, dripping eagerly with pre while she licked her lips and reached down to stroke it until it glistened. Alex knew exactly what she had in mind and wasn't sure (emphasis on 'wasn't sure' ;p) he was going to like it, "Listen Kodachi, maybe we should go out a bit before we go this far...I mean I'm sure you're a wonderful..", but his ineffective pleading fell on deaf ears. Kodachi's eyes were glazed over with drug induced lust and the only thing on her agenda was sating animalistic desire. She penetrated him powerfully and swiftly, the aphrodesiac gel doubling as a lubricant, stimulating him to a level he hadn't even encountered with Kasumi. He couldn't help but moan as loud as he could, the drug stoking his flames slowly. By the time she had hilted he was completely under the control of his sexual subconcious, groaning outload as the they pounded against each other in an artificial and heartless passion in which the two satisfied each other until their minds were completely blanked in a snowy haze of climax and the after affect of the drug. He awoke to the sound of his own voice, apparently he had been humming "Comfortably Numb". His brain was very fuzzy, like when your arm or leg falls asleep and you try to move it, and it ends up hurting like hell. A lot like that, only worse. He groaned and blinked his eyes a few times "Oowwww...." When his vision didn't clear he realized he didn't have his glasses on. He grumbled, "Goddamnit, where the hell..." he felt around. His senses were slowly coming back to him. He was aware of being surrounded up to his chest in warm water, and of the relatively high humidity. He stood up, but some anchoring force tugged on his neck and jerked him back down. He felt around his neck, and came upon a studded leather collar which was hooked to a chain abviously anchored to the floor. "Oh, fuck this shit." With that he started to tug on the collar with his hand such that he didn't choke himself, feeling for a way to undo it, and being rather frantic about the whole thing. Then he felt a swift thwack on his shoulder from a riding crop, diverting his attention from his futile attempts to release himself from his bondage. "Stop squirming pet." Kodachi's voice echoed off the walls of what he now assumed to be a very large bathroom of some sort. "If you damage that collar I bought for you I will be very upset. Have you cleaned yourself yet? I want you to be nice and pretty for my friends when they arrive." She was standing over him, wearing her school uniform again. He wasn't buying into this submissive role she wanted of him, naturally. "Where are my glasses." He asked flatly. The riding crop came down once more, he winced but made no sign of giving in. "Your lack of manners and obedience are intolerable! Now clean yourself, and when you're ready to get out you may dry yourself." She took the chain anchored to the floor and let up the slack, then turned and left with her stilleto heels clacking on the tile. "Just great..." He sighed, reaching for a bar of soap and 'freshening' himself up, especially around his severely violated backside. When he was done cleaning he got out and was just barely able to reach a towel rack. The slack of the chain gave out just there, and not more than five feet away from that point he could see the outline of a door. "Too bad she didn't chain my arm or leg, or I'd make like a fox..." By the time he was finished drying he saw her step back in, with something in her hands. "You're glasses pet, the frames were a bit bent out of shape and the lenses were atrociously dirty. You don't take very good care of yourself it seems, all the more reason for me to do it for you of course." She held them out and he snatched them quickly and put them on. Luckily it wasn't so hot that his glasses fogged up completely, and he could make out things much clearer. "Okay, what the hell would you wish of me, Mistress Psycho." He spoke with acid sarcasm that could strip the varnish off a foot locker. The riding crop came straight across his face this time and rather than wince he lunged, but was once more halted by the collar, and he stumbled back at brief constriction about his wind pipe. "I'm starting to think, that you are developing a taste for pain pet. Now come along...", she went over to the chain and unlocked it from it's anchor, holding it by the end and walking out, tugging him along. He quickly followed, doing his best to cover himself up with the towel. They ended up back in her room after what felt like a chilly eternity in the hallways of the Kuno Mansion. She locked the chain once more, this time against a hook in the wall, making sure to take up a lot of the slack so that he only had about a meter of length to work with. "Well, I can't very well have you like that when my friends arrive...so what do we have to work with? Hmmm..." She opened up one of her drawers and began rooting through it. Bringing up all sorts of things, the most disturbing of all for him being the cock & ball clamps, which upon sighting he reflexively covered himself. _Sir yes sir..._ He thought to himself darkly. "Ah, this should do." Her voice was most whimsical as she took out a simple looking pair of leather briefs that appeared just one size to small for him, then tossed them at his feet. "Put it on." She said firmly. He quirked an eyebrow at the briefs. "You know uncomfortable amounts of pressure is unhealthy for the male genitalia and can lead to infertility or erectile dysfunctions." He spoke matter of factly. In response she brandished and uncoiled the bullwhip he had seen earlier. "Put them on." She obviously intended to use it if he didn't comply. A sweat tear appeared on the back of his head. "But then again, what do I know, I'm no doctor..." He slipped into the tight briefs, obviously having a tough time getting them squeezed on, as he naturally had an erection from the cold. When he finally had them on, he couldn't help but shift and squirm. _Feels like a vice..._ He thought. "Now sit down and wait pet, my guests will be here any second." "I'd prefer to stand." He said, crossing his arms over his chest. She cracked the whip agressively. He sat down promptly, "Sitting is okay though..." She walked up to him and patted him on the head "That's a good boy..." She grinned and exited. _Okay brain, kick it into high gear..._ He started to look around the room. The window was a good three to four meters away from his current posistion. Then again, the drawer was just within reach. He could barely reach it with his hands before the collar started to choke him, so rather than risk passing out, he stood up and pulled it out with his foot (not an easy task to accomplish). Now that it was drawn out it could get closer without stressing the collar to much. He gave the inside a quick look over. Nothing but paddles and vibrators... "Why can't the sick bitch have a bloodletting fetish? Then I could find a knife to cut this damn thing...." He opened the second drawer. This one was filled with various racy undergarments. The third drawer was filled with various cosmetic appliances, he was just about to give up when he finally found something he could use. "Bingo!" He snatched a pair of finger nail clippers and a hairpin. He'd had quite a lot of practice with lock picking in just three days. Suffice to say Nabiki's advances on him were very agressive and sneaky. He worked on the lock to the chain patiently, but when he started to hear stilletos on the wood floor, he picked up the pace until there was a satisfying click noise. He got the lock on the wall off the chain, and started to wield the heavy metal links a weapon. Rather than confront Kodachi though, he ran towards the window and smashed it, sending glass shards everywhere. "If Ranma could do this with a pig attached, I should be able to handle it." He lept out the window, but found the weight of the chain to be a bigger factor than he thought. The last thing he heard before he hit the Kuno's koi pond was Kodachi shrieking like a banshee. "Pet?! GET BACK HERE, RIGHT NOW!" The second he his head went under he realized how deep this pond was. The chain caused him to sink like a rock and by the time he was at the bottom he guessed the depth to be nearly 10ft. _Damnit, I should have ditched the collar!_ He started making his way across the bottom of the pond to the side he hoped was closest to the wall of the estate. Luckily his glasses hadn't fallen off when he hit the water. However, the clear vision of a shark prowling the waters was little comfort. To compound the situation, he had accidently cut himself leaping through the window. _Well...fuck..._ Since the shark was already closing on the blood scent of some fresh meat, Alex began moving as fast as he could, however with the chain attached it was no easy task. The aquatic predator glided closer, until Alex could get a very good look at what an immaculate dental hygenist the carnivore was. Just as soon as it's jaw opened to snatch up a piece of gaijin ribeye, Alex whipped the chain about until it smacked the lake dwelling Mako right in the nose. That just pissed it off to no end, but the chain was still in an up swing an with a quick jerk it came down right on the beasts noggin'. Not enjoying prey that fights like a metal octopus, the shark retreated hastily. _Now to get out of here...I need some friggin air!_ He did his best to leap and us what little momentum he could muster to make it for the surface and breast stroke (no sexual innuendo intended) towards the shore. Unforunately that's when he was greated once more by Kodachi, who had taken the time to change back into her dominatrix outfit, holding her whip like hell on high heels. She stood there, fondling the handle of the whip, her eye twitching and spasming rapidly. "You have perturbed me most severely pet..." "If you're pissed now, you'll be tearing your hair out when I'm done..Sayonara!" He shouted out as he took the chain and started to twirling it around him like Kodachi would with her ribbon, then he proceeded to charge straight at her with apparently no intent of stopping. Naturally she dodged out of the way with all the grace of her gymnastics skill, and Alex saw his opportunity, he tossed the end of the chain to the top of the high wall of the estate and as luck would have it he hooked onto the end of something. With a mighty tug and a leap he was over the wall, the chain wrapped around a nearby light pole. He wasn't out of the woods yet though, and when a rose whizzed by his ear he knew it was time to beat a hasty path back to the Tendo's. It wasn't anything to odd for the people of Nerima, a blonde haired gaijin in nothing but leather briefs with a collar and chain around his neck being chased by a leather dominatrix throwing roses, hoops, balls, and clubs whilst she cracked a whip. Nope, nothing out of the ordinary. When he saw the walls of the Tendo estate, he put everything he had into a monster jump, sailing until he landed koi pond. When he brought himself out of the water he saw a soaked Akane and onna-Ranma sitting in the yard next to the pond. "Alex?" The spoke at once. "Uh hi...hope I'm not interrupting anything..." He was very embarrased being seen by them in his current state of dress (or general lack thereof). Faces became a bit distorted as they looked him over. Ranma spoke first "Why are you dressed like that?" He picked himself up and made his way inside, dragging the dead weight of the chain behind him, "Don't ask." Akane followed up "Where have you been? You were gone all day yesterday." He made his way into the kitchen and got a good knife "Let's just say I got tied up, quite literally..." He quickly cut the leather collar off and tossed it to the ground. "If you don't mind me, I think I'm going to take a very long cold shower." He walked upstairs and slammed the door to the bathroom closed and promptly locked it. Akane looked at Ranma "You don't think..." Onna-Ranma shuddered as if recalling some bad memory "I know..."
