Meanwhile...

Kasumi hummed to herself pleasantly, finishing the touches on tonight's dinner. Tasting the rice and checking its firmness, Mrs. Saotome had shown up to offer her help as well. Ranma’s mother was helping prep the pickles for frying and the sauce for the mackerel.

It was a relief to have some help in the kitchen besides her younger sister, her spirit was in the right place. However she truly lacked the patience and finesse, unlike dear Ranma. The boy, who at times was a girl, could be rough around the edges but was very helpful when it came down to getting food on the table.

The same courtesy could not be extended to her middle sibling, Nabiki was..-Well she was a special case. Born different, and in a very obvious way. She supposed she should be proud of her sister for never being ashamed for the way she was, and being very blunt about it. However it was difficult at times to get used to just how open and free she could be.

When she had hit puberty, there was no one else to turn to besides Tofu. Even he was at a loss to prescribe a holistic remedy to her albeit overwhelming normal urges of a young man or woman going through their hormonal development. But the family adapted, or at least tried to. Complaints at school were common, especially with how affectionate she tended to be at times, as well as her little “hobby”. She’d developed a skill for photography early, however instead of stunning vistas, and cute animals. Her eye was trained to focus on the more primal aspects of nature, most notably beautiful women.

“Oh Kasumi” Nodoka broke, making small talk to pass the time while slicing the pickles. “I saw that handsome Dr. Tofu on my way in, how are you two doing...anything I should know about” she spoke with mirth. Kasumi blushed, putting a delicate hand against her bosom. She could feel the cream churning beneath the swell of her breasts.

“No, No nothing like that Mrs. Saotome...he’s just here to pick up the donations of my umm...cream” She explained. Nodoka smiled.

“Of course, I noticed more weight to his cheeks than before..are you sure he’s not drinking it all for himself?” She laughed. Kasumi gasped at the insinuation.

“Mrs. Saotome!..I-I'm sure everything Dr. Tofu is above the level” She admonished, blushing and also laughing alongside Nodoka.

“It's fine, let's get this out to the men. I'm sure your sister will be down when she’s...uh..ready” She gently prodded, trying to approach the middle Tendo’s rampant behavior in a diplomatic way.

Kasumi nodded, even though her family was odd and things tended to get a bit out of hand. She wouldn't have it any other way. She was happy to serve them in any way she could.
