Chapter 4 – Two Girls and a Cupped Breast
Both of the girls walked to the main practice room.
Akane looked at the other girl in front of her. She heard about the Anything Goes branch of the school from her father. The school involved an aerial style.
"Prepare yourself, Ranko." She said with a smile. She set a timer on the sparring clock. They bowed and changed into their fighting stances.
Akane took the first move. She did a forward run, jumped off her left leg, and swung her foot upwards in an arc. Ranma moved aside. Akane's foot smashed through a wall behind her. She pulled her leg out and began to switch to a speed tactic. With a deep exhale, she jabbed quickly with her hands, but Ranma was dodging at the same incredible rate. After a couple of rounds of attempts, she bent over and breathed heavily. Sweat dripped off her forehead. Can she read my moves? Akane thought to herself.
With renewed resolve, she tried again and again, but the redhead lept in the air, did a somersault, and tapped Akane on the forehead with her finger. With a smile, she said, "1 Point."
Akane smirked, did a leg sweep, but Ranma jumped over it. She rolled into a standing position and felt a wind over her head as she ducked to avoid a punch.
Ranma dominated the match by completely avoiding all of Akane's hits. It wasn't long before the timer rang and they had to end the match. Akane said, "Looks like we're out of time. You beat me."
Ranma and Akane bowed towards each other. Akane wiped sweat from her forehead and smiled. "You're really good. It's a good thing you're not a boy."
Ranma felt her male pride hurt a little, "Why is that?"
"If I lose to a boy, I'd ..." Akane clenched her fists. "I'd train harder and defeat him for sure."
"What's the big deal about losing to a guy?" Ranma asked, raising an eyebrow and giving Akane a funny look.
"All of the men I know are perverts. The boys I fight on my way to class every morning are reason enough to think so."
"I don't like to have that much attention."
"Me either. Let's hit the showers."
Ranma fidgeted, "I don't know, Akane. I haven't ever been completely naked in front of anyone before. Aren't you embarrassed?"
Akane shook her head, "No, no. Of course not. I have two other sisters, after all. We took baths together, dressed, and so on. I don't see why there'd be anything to feel embarrassed about." She looked at Ranma sympathetically. "You traveled with your dad your whole life, right? You couldn't take your clothes off around him to preserve your modesty. We're both girls, Ran-chan. Don't worry about it, okay?"
Ranma's mind turned to the thought of hot water changing her. Her eyes grew big and she panicked. What if she changed into a man in front of Akane? I'll just have to make sure the water is cold enough!
Akane led her to the women's changing room and unbelted her gi. She let the white cloth fall down around her ankles. Ranma's pulse quickened and her nipples stiffened. Akane looked at Ranma strangely. "Aren't you going to get undressed?"
Ranma turned red in the face.
"It's no big deal. Trust me, okay?"Akane said and grabbed the belt on Ranma's gi.
Ranma reflexively pushed her hands away and asked, "What are you doing?"
Akane blushed and giggled, "I'm helping you get over your fear." She pulled off the belt quickly. Her eyes widened when she saw Ranma's breasts again. She decided to take a chance and comment on them, "They're huge."
Ranma reflexively covered her breasts with her hands, but Akane wasn't going to have any of it. She forcefully pulled Ranma's gi down and onto the floor. "Come on.." She urged, grabbing the other girl's hand. "Stop being such a baby."
Ranma was towed into the shower with a timid protest, "Please don't... Akane... I'll go."
Akane let go, walked over to her shower and turned the knob to medium-hot and pulled it. Warm refreshing steamy water pelted her back. She cooed, "This isn't so bad, eh?"
Ranma sighed but tried to smile agreeably, despite her embarrassment. She shyly walked towards a shower nozzle with her hands covering her breasts. She turned the shower knob to the approximate middle setting and fearfully turned on the water. Good. Just the right temperature, she thought. She leaned back and let the water cascade over her soft white shoulders and down the slopes of her large breasts. She worked her fingers through her hair and grabbed a bottle of shampoo. She stepped away from the stream of water and lathered her hair.
Akane wet her own hair. She grabbed some soap and lathered it up in her hands. "So, back home, is there someone you like?"
Ranma shook her head and said, "No."
"So, does that mean you haven't dated a boy yet?"
Ranma blanched and shook her head, "Sort of. When my breasts came in, I couldn't hide behind being a tomboy as easily anymore. Boys started asking me to go have tea with them. I found out what that meant after I said 'yes' to one of them. My father found out about it and beat me and the boy up." She leaned back and let the cool water rinse out her hair. The soap washed out and cascaded down her slick glistening breasts to her perfect pink areolas.
Akane noticed how perfect Ranma's figure was. She lifted her own breasts in her hands and looked down at them. She thought, Mine really haven't grown at all since last year. She focused on the warm water and lathered up. After rinsing herself off, she continued the conversation, "I'm sure you'll find a boy in Nerima. There are plenty that go to my school. I can't stand them though. I'm pinning my hopes on finding the right guy in college."
Ranma thought about school. What if she changed sex in class in front of everyone? Cold water followed her like a magnet. Her father would say, "Stop being such a weak little sissy, Ranma." Ranma would reply, "But you stay as a panda all of the time, pops. Isn't that the same thing?" She learned quickly not to ask that question again after her beating. She purged the thoughts as best she could. There's no sense in rehashing the past. He never understood my feelings. She grabbed some soap and did a quick job of washing and rinsing off her body. She pushed the nozzle on the water and was about to go grab her towel.
Akane stared at her.
Ranma self-consciously asked, "What?"
"You're not seriously going to leave the shower without conditioning your hair are you?"
"Oh right." Ranma said. "I'm sorry, I'm used to bathing in rivers and lakes." She pulled a bottle off of a shelf and read the directions. She looked at Akane. She asked, "So I just dab some of this in my hair and let it stay in?"
Akane rolled her eyes and said, "Here, I'll show you." She turned off her shower and walked over.
Ranma's thoughts were perilously close to overload as the warm, wet, and steamy Akane grabbed the bottle of conditioner from her. Ranma could feel the young woman's body heat from where she was standing. Akane squirted conditioner on her hand and started to work it into Ranma's hair. She smiled, "Just sit still, okay? You have to work this stuff into all of your hair, not just the scalp."
Ranma smiled. She liked having someone take care of her. Akane's breasts touched her arm several times, causing Ranma to get excited. She closed her eyes so she could calm herself down, but the sensations were too much. Heat started creeping through her body. Akane squirted some more conditioner on her hands and worked more into Ranma's red hair. "You look like you're enjoying this." She giggled.
Ranma wanted to touch the agitated spot between her legs. It was like an itch that needed to be scratched. She started to feel tears building up in her eyes. It was torture feeling that way and not being in a situation to fix it.
Akane commanded, "Now rinse."
Ranma opened her eyes and saw Akane standing a few inches from her. Her cheeks turned rosy and she turned around to pull the knob. The cool water sprayed both of them. Akane rinsed her hands off in Ranma's shower. Ranma was relieved to find the cold water took the edge off of the heat she was feeling. Ranma finished rinsing her hair and turned off the water.
"Thanks for your help." Ranma sighed dreamily.
Akane laughed. "It's no big deal." She went off to her own shower to finish conditioning her own hair.
Ranma grabbed a towel and rubbed herself down until she was reasonably dry. She wrapped it around herself and went back into the changing room. Her thoughts kept returning to a wet Akane and she felt a warm tingle. 'What's wrong with me?' she thought, 'I feel so strange.'
Akane walked in to join her and let her towel drop to the floor. She opened up her locker and said happily, "I feel refreshed."
Ranma felt curious about why she felt so good when Akane touched her. She looked up at Akane and hid her face in embarrassment as another tingling feeling came from her crotch. It was almost aching. Her skin was hot and her breathing increased. "S-so do I."
Akane took her panties out of the locker and walked over to the trash. She peeled off a pantie liner and put a fresh one in. Ranma curiously looked at what Akane was doing. Akane noticed and said, "Do you need one? I have some more if you do."
"What are they?" Ranma asked, her eyes trailing down to Akane's crotch. A trickle of warm moisture ran down Ranma's thigh. She hoped she wasn't peeing on herself.
Akane said, slightly embarrassed. "Oh right. This is for my period. It soaks up the blood so I don't stain my panties. Do you need one too?"
Ranma squirmed and started to get really agitated. She shook her head, trying to focus on the conversation, but it was no use. She was going crazy with excitement. She shook her head negatively at Akane, trying to refocus on the conversation.
Akane slipped her panties on and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I don't know." Ranma cried, this time with tears in her eyes. "I feel so weird."
Akane nodded, "You were out in the rain without an umbrella. I'm not surprised." She wrapped her bra strap around her chest backwards with the clasp in front. With a deft ministration of her fingers, she connected the ends together, turned it around and looped her arms in.
Ranma stood up. Her legs were shaky. "Maybe you're right. I should go lie down."
"I'll have Kasumi bring you some hot tea." Akane offered. "I have a brush and a hair dryer you can use in my room."
Ranma shrugged, "I can just put my hair in a pigtail."
Akane approached Ranma and lifted the ends of her hair to look at it. "Your ends are split. You really need to dry it properly and take better care of it."
"You're nagging me." Ranma smirked.
"I guess I am, a little." Akane said sheepishly, "Anyway, let's go to my room."
Ranma realized that her opportunity to change back into a boy were disappearing. She had to change before her mother showed up sooner or later.
