.:: The Following Day ::.
Travel picked back up after everyone was cleaned, but Sylia could feel the tension in the air. Both of her travelling companions were strangely silent. One appeared out of sorts, and the other withdrawn into his own thoughts. Sylia couldn't understand, try as she might, those two were strangers in her world. Sex, forceful or not, was a fact of life here. Even the few human women she saw were perfectly happy to bow down for domination. The only fear she had known as a pokegirl was becoming feral, and it was the beauty of sex with a new tamer that saved her from it. Her experience had been rough, just as she witnessed, but it was what she needed.
Sylia noted that Asrial would keep looking over her shoulder, "the skunk is jumpy." A little nightly loving might fix that, she imagined. Ranma, however, really confused her. He looked, well, defeated. His shoulders were slumped as he walked, and his head was hung low. "Maybe he needs to be tamed?" The lupina asked herself.
"Hey Ranma," she asked with a bubbly voice, "if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind trying out that massive taming rod you've got!"
Without ever raising his head, the red-shirted man simply replied, "No, thank you."
Cocking her head to the side, Sylia tried to reason, "We pokegirls need it though, and my master doesn't mind if I have a little fun. He has a lot of pokegirls to worry about, and we don't get our turns as regularly as we would like."
If it were possible, Sylia would have sworn that his shoulders slumped further when he replied, "No, really. That's what hurts people."
Asrial perked her furry ears, and tilted her head just in time to see Ranma run off into the woods.
Stunned, she only heard the wolf-girl's bark, "Hurry, we've got to get him."
"Damnit," Asrial declared following the lupina, "I should have not let him see that I was hurt at all. He thinks it's his fault still. Even if he claims otherwise."
"He just screwed ya'," the lupina declared, "what's the big deal?"
Asrial couldn't help but to roll her eyes at Sylia, and almost ran over Ranma, who had stopped dead in his tracks.
"Mmmh, please tame ChiChi, Mr.?" Came a light voice from the clearing ahead, "ChiChi will be feral if not screwed soon, please? NO! Don't go away? Is Chichi bad? ChiChi is afraid of being feral." The pokegirl appeared human, no animal characteristics from a distance could be seen. It was obvious to the lupina what was happening. The poor pokegirl may have fallen off of a trading carriage, and the poke-rancher took his time about delivering his livestock.
Ranma, continued to slowly back away, he was going to have no part in this.
"Mr. Ranma," the Lupina stated coldly, "this pokegirl needs to be tamed by a human."
Ranma shook his head, and continued to slowly retreat from the area.
Almost with a growl, the Lupina spat, "You can't find it in yourself to use your goods to help a pokegirl who seriously needs it? You are about the coldest bastard I EVER met!" She couldn't help herself, the poor pokegirl needed a taming, and this bastard who was absolutely equipped refused to aide the helpless with it! Why would the Kami waste such a tool on someone like this? Absently, she grabbed a pokeball, tossing it at the whimpering girl. In a flash, the pokegirl was gone.
"I hope you're happy," Sylia glared at the shocked martial artist, "the poor thing is going to be suffering in this damned ball until we can get her to a pokecenter."
Asrial finally made a point to interject, "HEY! People just don't go around popping it out for sex anywhere you know!"
Sylia rolled her eyes, "Yes they do. Especially if a pokegirl is about to go feral. Any MAN would do that to save a pokegirl's life."
"I'm no man," came the soft reply.
"What?!" Both Pokegirl and Salusian alike bellowed.
"I took what I had no right to," Ranma heaved a sigh, "I am no man, and I definitely am not going to do 'it' anymore."
Sylia dropped her jaw, "is that what this poor pokegirl has to suffer horribly for?" Sylia couldn't believe it, the jackass was freaking out over yesterday. "Look buddy, if you didn't go through with that your nervous system would lock up, you'd become paralysed, and after an hour or two of excruciating pain -- death."
When Ranma replied that he would rather have died than to hurt a friend, it was Asrial's turn to speak up, "No way, mister. I feel bad enough as it is, but there is no way that an Imperial Princess is going to live with the shame that her first goes suicidal!" Asrial was pissed now, she had a new target, buzzbreasts. It was they that did this to her. It was they that effectively did the same thing to Ranma, and they would pay.
Sylia's eyes opened wide, was the skunk girl chuckling, and whispering "retribution"?
For his part, Ranma expected the worst. He lowered himself to his knees, almost in expectation of Asrial to have a blade like his mother's. What he didn't expect was to have a set of arms around him, nor did he expect the declaration that he heard...
"Ranma, I think it's our solemn duty to rid this world of BuzzBreasts!"
He then heard an almost maniacal laugh, "Princess Asrial and her boyfriend, Ranma, will rid this world of those nasty green pokegirls!"
Ranma replied intelligently, "Huh?"
Asrial's wicked grin sent shivers through both Ranma and Sylia, "Well, it's THEIR fault we're like this. Things like that don't deserve to live!"
Ranma froze solid.
Sylia interrupted, "I think he meant the boyfriend part."
As if on cue, Asrial pulled Ranma into a hug, "You promised to stay with me, so that means boyfriend-girlfriend." The weight on her heart lifted when she felt his arms go around her in return. Immediately thereafter, she continued her rightfully deserved tirade on how many ways she had to kill pokebugs.
"If you're going to be here long enough to hunt down BuzzBreasts, you'll need some pokegirls," the lupina thoughtfully interjected.
"Huh," Ranma and Asrial replied simultaneously.
"You should start with this one," Sylia held up a pokeball, "if you work together, you could even tame together!"
