Ranma rubbed his thumb along the fur on Sheila's back, taking enjoyment in her silky fur. Sheila purred lightly as her master brushed through her fur calmingly, her tail twitching idly in response.
“Never leave me master...” Sheila murmured quietly as she rested against his chest.
“Never,” Ranma promised firmly, gently stroking up and down her back to reassure her.
“Mew... that's nice,” Sheila murmured as she settled down.
Ranma smiled lightly as he continued stroking Sheila's fur, life doesn't get much better than this. He had a harem of beautiful girls that loved him and would do practically anything for him, feelings that he shared. He just couldn't believe how some people could treat their pokegirls as poorly as they did.
Ranma frowned, especially his alternate. How could he be such an asshole?
He still felt responsible for all the things Sextome had done, it was a real kick in the pants when he had found out that Sextome had transformed the Diggers sisters, Sheila and god knows how many other girls into pokegirls. He really wanted to make things up to them.
Ranma sighed as he continued stroking his hand through Sheila's tan coloured fur.
Sheila looked up at Ranma having noticed it was a depressed sort of sigh rather than one of contentment, Sukebe knows that she had used it enough times in the past. “What's wrong Master?” Sheila asked with a cute questioning look on her face.
Ranma tilted his head down to look at her and gave her a smile, “I'm just thinking.”
Sheila gently put her elbow on his chest and then rested her head on it. “About what?” She asked curiously, looking at him with inquisitive eyes as her tail flicked over both of their legs.
“About a lot of things really...You know, since meeting you girls in that cave, this has been one of the best times of my life,” Ranma admitted with a smile.
Sheila nuzzled him, “Mew! Its been one of the best times of my life too Master,” Sheila agreed with bright shinning eyes, pleased that he thought so.
Ranma grinned at her and her enthusiasm, she was pretty damned cute when her face lit up like that.
“Still, that Gym Leader Vash really woke me up,” Ranma explained, dropping his grin as he moved onto serious stuff, “we're not ready to face any real challenge.”
Sheila's ears dropped. “Sorry....” she murmured, feeling bad about doing so poorly in the match against Vash's pokegirls. She and Grave got their asses kicked in less than a second.
Ranma stroked her head. “It's not your fault Sheila. If anything its my fault, I've been taking a far to laid back attitude towards being a tamer,” he stated somewhat depressed as Sheila looked up at him in surprise, “it's not just me that gets hurt any more but its you girls also, and I can't stand to see you get hurt for something I did.”
“It's not your fault Master,” Sheila stated as she nuzzled him, trying to cheer him up again.
“Yeah, it is. That's why I'm going to be taking some of Jetta's advice about thinking before leaping,” Ranma explained smacking his hand into his fist as he looked determined. “Gonna start from fresh, gonna go out into the woods to get some training. See what all of us can do, what we need to learn and practise working together. Gotta stop relying on everything that Sextome set up and get doing our own thing.”
“Mew!” Sheila exclaimed a little surprised by it all. She really didn't mind the idea of training, she didn't really doing anything as long as it was with her Master and she was somewhat pleased that he seemed to be thinking ahead a little. Sheila hoped that Jetta would be as pleased by Ranma's plan.
There was a slight pause in the conversation as Sheila tried to thing of a response to Ranma's plan and Ranma himself was going over the various techniques that he could try teaching his pokegirls, he had a feeling that something bad was heading his way. He was about to open his mouth to say more when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Who on earth is that?” He wondered out aloud with a frown, looking at the door as if it would give up all of its secrets.
Sheila shrugged and pouted as she realised that her cuddle time with her master had been cut short but rolled off him as he got up to grab a pair of pants off the floor. He wasn't likely to answer the door naked again like he did with Archon, that had been embarrassing enough.
There was another, more impatient sounding knock at the door.
“Gah! I'm coming!” Ranma shouted out as he struggled to get his pants on.
(------)
Several moments later, after finally winning the battle against his pants, Ranma opened the door and looked out into the hall of the Pokécenter at the dark skinned couple outside his room.
The man looked up at him whilst the woman standing besides the man tensed ever so slightly.
“Hello?” Ranma asked, wondering who these people where and why they wanted him.
“Ranma Sextome?” Ace asked and waited for Ranma's cautious nod. “We need to talk...”
