During the sparring session, she'd seen him as if seeing her employer for the first time and realizing a few things she had either not noticed or had stubbornly ignored prior to that.
She no longer felt quite as self-conscious or fumbling around Doctor Tofu. She no longer had a certain feeling of jealousy towards her older sister when Kasumi went to visit the doctor.
On the other hand, she felt herself blushing around Ranma Saotome. And being self-conscious. And fumbling.
When they'd finished, Ranma had frowned and asked that the next time they meet - she should fight him more seriously.
She hadn't even realized until he had spoken of how much she HAD held back. He was good. Darn good. However he also had a couple of openings in his defenses. One good hit and he'd be hurt...
And THAT thought, and the way her heart dropped down to the pit of her stomach in response to it, was enough to give her a clue that her feelings of admiration for her employer were something other than a typical maid+employer arrangement.

Akane stopped and blinked. What the heck had THAT been?
Kodachi Kuno yawned as she realized that her Serio unit was standing at the door. "Yes?"
"Mistress, your brother requested I relay that he will be out this evening. Something about punishing a foul sorcerer."
Kodachi raised an eyebrow. "Very well. You know what this means then."
"Yes Mistress, hot fudge sundae, extra nuts and whipped cream," responded Serio, holding a small tray on which just such a confection had been prepared.
"Ahhh, yes," said Kodachi, pushing aside her homework. "Decadent western pleasures enjoyed in the absence of my brother. Does it get any better than this?"
