The first rays of the dawning sun got through the dojo's doors and woke up Ranma. Knowing he couldn't get back to sleep now, he yawned and carefully got out of the blankets, he didn't want to disturb his partners of last night.
The house was still asleep and he took advantage of it : a quick scrub at the furo and a change of clothes under the cover of his talents at stealth were done without interruptions.
Still, he knew that something had changed. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but it was as if he could feel the girls' needs and desires in him. He had already started to prepare a huge nutritious breakfast for everyone, they had burned so much calories yesterday. Unconsciously, he had responded to his partners' wants. No one was here to harass him on the whole 'cooking isn't manly' argument.
Ranma Saotome had been raised by the idea that women had to be cared for and protected. After sharing such intimate moments with all the girls he crossed paths with yesterday, it was normal for him to extend the courtesy to his... what ? Harem ? Pride ? One thing was certain, he would do anything in his power to ensure their happiness.
*****
Hours passed by. It seemed that everyone at the Tendo dojo had decided to sleep in this morning. They didn't have Ranma's endurance after all.
The young martial artist occupied himself as he could, nudged by the empathic bond he had with one girl in particular : he did Kasumi's morning shores in record time.
Then he felt it in his mind : a familiar presence that was steadily approaching the Tendo house. It radiated distress and uncertainty. He was opening the door before his visitor had had the time to ring the bell.
Ranma looked at the young woman standing in the street. She looked like she was in her early twenties and wore a spandex-like yellow ensemble with a short skirt and an impressive cleavage. She had long brown hair and blue eyes. Her face showed strain and that she had cried recently. She looked vaguely familiar "Sa... Saotome... kun ?"
That voice ! Ranma blinked, rubbed his eyes *Nope, still there* and checked up the girl's aura "Hinako-sensei ? Come in !" The teacher obeyed meekly.
*Sniffle* "Yes, it's me... I... After we... *ahem* we did what we did, I fell asleep. When I woke up... you were gone" Pain briefly flashed in her eyes, a pain Ranma could feel in his guts all too well "I... became even more sick. I decided to go home, no one tried to stop me, they were too busy..."
Ranma had gently hugged the now-young adult teacher. She hugged him back, still sniffling "Oh, Ranma... It was so horrible. I had never known such pain since my disease..." Ranma knew she was refering to her childhood before Happosai transformed her. He had no idea she had suffered so much and escaped death thanks to the old lech's treatment "I had to take sleeping aids and painkillers to go asleep last night"
She was crying now, her eyes full of misery "And... when I woke up this morning... I was... like this !" Apparently she had reverted to an intermediary physical age, between her old child and adult forms' "And the worst is... *sniffle* I... I can't drain ki anymore ! I'll lose my job without my ability !" She broke down in Ranma's arms.
*Uh oh* thought Ranma *Don't tell me that's because we... Damn ! The old pervert never said anything about this possibility !* He stroke her hair and tried to reassure her. He hated to see a girl or woman cry, especially this one "Shhh... Don't cry... Everything will be fine..."
"Why did you leave ? Was I that bad ?" The sudden change of subjects took Ranma off-guard "Or perhaps because I'm older than you ?" He knew that her self-esteem as a beautiful woman hanged on his answer. He gulped "No ! Not at all ! You were great ! I'd never felt this good before !"
"You were my first, you know, Ranma-kun... Since that moment..." She started trailing kisses on his neck and face "I can't stop thinking about you" She slipped a hand into his shirt, caressing his chest "All I want is to..." Their tongues clashed as they kissed "Do it again... and again... and again !"
Once again, the Moreau flu's influence took over. Ranma and Hinako virtually ripped their clothes off. He could feel her desire through their bond and it pushed him to respond in kind.
