Though she did feel a little guilty about it. She'd never really let herself admit to any sort of negativity, and she certainly wouldn't be one to find enjoyment in other's misfortunes. But there had been something satisfying in seeing her Master's father get decked like that, when he was being so... so...
However, she was a naturally caring person, and so she was not about to leave a person's injuries unattended to when she could fix them. So, she had to sit there and tend to his jaw, knowing that he'd get another one sooner or later. At least he was consistent in that.
Yet, the fact that she could sense anything other than concern over others was just something that she had to place at her Master's door. Not that she minded, as she got so much from it. For the first time in her life, she felt... desired, not as a helper, but as a woman. Up until he had taken her, she'd never allowed herself to even connect herself with sexuality. To her, there were too many things to handle to consider something as silly as what she might have happen in her bedroom for any real length of time. Even the fact that she had some rather buff young men running around her home from time to time didn't seem to be a worry. It simply wasn't proper to be pondering such things.
And now her proper place was to be making herself available for the Master of her mind, body and soul. It did not matter that he had ultimate control of her thoughts, with the ability to take them away to make her the most complete servitor she could be. Nor was the fact that she couldn't help lusting for him the ultimate reason for her behavior. What was firmly entrenched in her mind wasn't even needed to make her serve him.
After all, he was her Master, and as soon as she understood that, she knew that it was her place to serve him, be it as companion, bedmate, or maid.
Of course, she did like it. Sexual pleasure was something that she was only starting to understand, but she could see that it was terribly addicting. Just imagining his hands upon her body, using it to slake his desires made her rather happily dazed. She found that she actually enjoyed serving him, and that he was giving her a bit of a change in purpose. Best of all though, he seemed to be protective of her, and she was touched by that.
So, if Ranma Saotome wanted her tending to his father, she'd do so.
Fortunately, he did have a hard head, and she could see his eyes fluttering open as he yawned and winced.
"Hello," she said brightly. "How are you doing?"
"My chin hurts," Genma grumped, rubbing his injury.
"Well, it's understandable. Akane did hit you hard."
"She did? Why would she strike me?"
"You didn't include her in the conversation. And..."
"I see. Then I suppose that I'll have to make certain that I talk to the both of them the next time I remind them how they have to follow the arrangement."
There was a moment where Kasumi wondered if he was really that thick, but then she admonished herself for being uncharitable. "I'm sure that she'll know how to properly appreciate that."
"Exactly."
"But you really should take it easy."
"Don't be silly. I've taken worse than this. Sure, it aches, but I'll get past it... Hahahahaha.... OW!"
"Why don't you take these, and drink some water? They should help kill the pain..."
"Why thank you," the Saotome Patriarch replied, and took the offered pills, swallowing them as quickly as he got them. "Now, I'm off to find your father."
"You should find him waiting for word of you over in the family room," an arriving Nabiki commented.
"Then I'll go there."
"I'm sure that'll make him happy."
"Certainly will!"
The middle Tendo daughter raised a brow, and watched him leave before turning to her sister. "What's with him?"
"He's still hurting from Akane's hit," Kasumi answered.
"And you just let him go?"
"I did tell him that he should take it easy, but he didn't want to, so I gave him something to help him not hurt so much."
"Oh? What was that?"
"This," the elder girl replied, and handed over the bottle.
"Hmm... This might... Kasumi?"
"What?"
"You do know that this is made to help people get over headaches so that they can get to bed."
"So?"
"It's got a sleep aid in it."
"I know," her sister replied simply and, collected her things so that she could leave the room.
Nabiki just stared at her in admiration, and amusement, while:
