In that, his father's training had been successful, even if some of it had been unintentional.
But even now he was able to focus on the fight despite some other compelling things to pay attention to. He did have three shapely girls who would do anything he wanted as well as a new fiancee. However, he was well aware of the fact that his slaves would wait for him, and so he could look forward to being with them without worry. Makoto would have something delicious to eat, Rei was great with a massage, and Usagi was quick to make him relax. And since Ami wasn't there at the moment, he didn't have that visible reminder of the fact that he was supposed to get married. And he'd long been able to tune his father's ranting out.
Yet even he couldn't ignore the girl trying to sneak around the campsite. The blonde was obviously trying to be secretive, but she was doing such an inept job of it that it was obvious that she hadn't ever been trained in it. Her idea of tiptoeing was to do long, and high steps where she would make like an overgrown frog with shapely legs trying to walk. Then there was her quick 'creeping', which tossed up small clouds of dust. In an outfit that did nothing to help her blend in, those acts, and her habit of crashing into the things that she wanted to hide behind, were making it hard to ignore her. Plus, her attempts to act like she was nonchalantly passing by didn't help, especially when she kept on staring at him like he was some kind of buffet.
Getting so frustrated that he knew that his father would have reason to be annoyed with him, he decided that he had to do something about it.
Minako was pleased with herself as she was sure that nothing had been going wrong with her plan. She had been able to see her friends, and since she hadn't talked to them yet, no one could say that she had broken parole. But she was still going to talk to them, and she was sure that if she got to an isolated place where no one would see them, she could spend a little while catching up with them. Of course, this had meant that she'd missed a bit of school, but that was only a minor thing, and she was certain that she could handle that.
"Can I help ya?" a male voice asked.
Stiffing at the sound, she looked up and saw her friends' new master crouching on the rock that she'd been hiding behind as he stared right back at her. "A-heh..."
"Is somethin' up? Ya don't look like ya are a contender, but I've seen a lot of 'em that don't look so tough..."
"Me... no..."
"Well, ya could be some kinda spy... But ya should know this. If ya are lookin' ta do somethin' sneaky, I ain't 'bout ta let ya, got it," he growled as he waved his fist in a mildly threatening gesture.
Being a teenaged girl in a situation where she'd realised that she was in trouble, she did the only thing that she could do.
She screeched at the top of her lungs. "EEEEKK! NO! NO! NO!"
The pigtailed boy winced at the piercing sound. "Ya got a set of lungs on ya, I'll give ya that..."
"Don't hurt me! I'm just a young and pretty girl! Don't ravish me as punishment!"
"Huh?! I was only warnin' ya..."
"I'll... I'll... let you do what you want, just don't hurt me!"
"Okay... Okay..."
"Master!" three voiced cried out, and suddenly the trio of slaves were crowding around the boy, with Makoto leaning forward against his back and Rei and Usagi to either side of him.
"We heard someone screaming!" the 'odango' haired blonde said in a panic as she turned to look at the newcomer, "We came to see what happened... Mina-chan?"
"Ya know this girl?" he asked with a blink.
"That's our friend Minako," Makoto informed him.
"Another friend?"
"Well... yes."
"Just how many friends d'ya guys got?"
"A lot. Usagi makes friends with just about everyone that she meets..."
"Just great... I might as well be trainin' at a rail station..."
Usagi blinked slightly before looking around in confusion. "We thought that something terrible was going on, and came. What's going on?"
"I saw her tryin' ta sneak 'round, but when I came ta confront and make her stop, she up and panics. Man... Like I'd just beat someone for no reason..."
"You're not going to make lewd advances on me," Minako asked, "and try to see how far you could get with such a pretty girl?"
"Uhh... no..."
This made the Senshi of Love look oddly disappointed.
"Someone's been reading too many romance novels," Rei muttered while:
