As a result, he was rather nervous since he was wandering around her room as the girl herself was sitting watching him. Half the time he spent on the verge of getting ready to be hit, and the rest he spent rather weirded out by the knowledge that not only was the strike not coming, but that his 'invasion' was accepted. Heck, she had even been the one who informed him that he could come in any time he wanted.
Okay, so having his joking comment about him hiding out in her room be answered with her saying 'It's not like I can stop you,' was not the most endearing situation, but it was oddly comforting and telling.
'I... I know where everything is,' he thought to himself, and picked up a book before he recognized what it was. 'Her diary is here, and the key to it is hidden...'
Akane spotted where he was going and snorted. "Why don't you open it?"
"What?"
"My diary. You know where the key is. So why don't you open and read it?"
"I... I... I can't! It's your most private thoughts!"
"My thoughts are in your head, remember?" she commented archly.
"Oh... yeah."
"But if you don't want to look at it, my panty drawer is... well, you know where that is too."
His eyes went so wide that one might think that they would pop out of his head. "You can't actually want me to... go in... there."
"Master, I can't stop you from doing anything. There's no real point of it, and I couldn't do it even if I really hated it. But now, I... Let's just say I don't think that it's as bad as I used to."
"You don't?"
"Would you relax already? Man, you're acting like you don't... own us."
"I'm still getting used to that idea. It isn't like I can just switch over like that. I've done some things, but it'll be a while before I can just treat this like it's business as usual."
"Oh. It's just that I would have thought that you would have taken to this fast."
"Well, I'm not, and don't act like I'm some sort of pervert."
"Okay, Master."
Hearing the tone of one confirming an order coming from her, Ranma ran his hand through his hair and blew out a breath. "Sorry. I guess that this all is still a bit new to us."
"That's what so odd."
"What do you mean?"
"When you first did this stuff, you took my sisters minds, and then waited for me just so you could do to me what you did to them. But when I 'woke up', you didn't seem to be so... nasty."
"I felt nasty. And like I wasn't exactly someone that I liked."
"Which is probably better, but it's kind of strange. Nabiki said that she thought that you went 'power mad', and so you let it go to your head," she said, holding her hands out palms up.
"It was at least part like that. But not totally."
"Hmm?"
"I was 'hungry' too. After getting those powers, I had this sort of... need that I had to fill, and I got the bad along with the good from Nabiki and Kasumi."
"I see."
"I hope that you do, since I'm not sure that I can say the same for me."
"You weren't the same person. You suddenly got the powers, got my sisters floating around your head, and were 'starving'. I guess all that caused a problem."
"Wish that I could take it as easily as you seem to."
"I can't do anything else anyway. Besides, you aren't planning on just grabbing minds any which way, are you?"
"No!"
"Well then, that's not something that we have to worry about."
"Oh. Yeah."
"And you're going to take care of us, right?"
"I plan on it. It wouldn't be right to let you guys get destroyed by this. Though, I doubt that Kasumi putting away a first aid kit, or Nabiki cleaning a room would be that out of it. Well, maybe Nabiki."
"Master!" Akane tried to admonish, but couldn't help a little amusement getting into her voice.
"Hey, I couldn't help myself."
"And you don't have to. We're here to do what you want. Just remember that... I am here for whatever you want or can do with me."
He walked to where she was sitting and stood over her. "Oh, really."
"Umm... Yes."
"Let me think."
"You don't need my permission for anything."
"I also didn't need you to answer. It just sounded good."
"Sorry."
"Don't be sorry. Maybe you can help me think of something," he replied, scanning his eyes over her body, from the eyes which seemed totally focused on him to the legs whose tone he hadn't noticed before all this. He swallowed hard for a moment, and considered his options, while:
