Being a fairly nice well-mannered boy with a fair bit of athleticism, Ranma was not unfamiliar with female attention. There would be love letters in his locker, plenty of chocolates on valentines, and lots of giggling gossiping girls in his vicinity. He had also been on a fair number of dates with various girls, though such relationships hadn't gone too far for various reasons.
At the time discussions with the woman in charge had ended, he'd been unable to see an exit nor the walls due to the sheer number of maids surrounding him, though some appeared to be out of uniform. At current, he'd lost sight of the ceiling and he could no longer feel anything beneath him except so very forward girls.
To his further dismay, all of the girls in his immediate vicinity were rather more forward than he was used to, leaving him in contact with more flesh than he was comfortable with considering these girls were still strangers to him. By the same token, he was touching more flesh than he felt was polite, particularly the pair of breasts some girl was using to pillow his head with.
As a final injustice, his request for a glass of milk to wash down all those cookies had only prompted one particularly busty girl to lower her top and present herself to him. That action had escalated the touchy situation as several more rather forward girls had lowered their own tops. That they had elected him as judge of the 'most talented maid' had not helped either as he was fully aware of the wrath the losers might inflict upon him.
He was after all well aware of what feminine fury was like and how random it could be. He'd once been in the Nerima ward after a sparring match in his traditional hakama wear, only to be attacked by some girl for 'consorting' with the Kuno boy he'd had the match with. To be honest, the initial punch had hurt like hell too, enough that he actually turned his bokken on an unarmed opponent. To his surprise, even though she had apparently fought the Kuno boy before, she had seemed utterly surprised to find that getting whacked by a bokken to hurt. Confining his strikes to the meaty areas of his opponent such as the thighs and biceps to avoid breaking any bones had made it a close call, but eventually the girl had collapsed. After checking that she was okay, he'd hightailed it out of there before she recovered enough for a round two.
Finding out that she was the sister of Nabiki Tendou had made him rather nervous to be around the Nerima Martial Arts referee. He'd actually been avoiding any further challenge matches in Nerima lest he bump into that particular violent tomboy again.
Unbeknown to the besieged lad, some girls were not so forward and needy, and thus actually heeded his pleas which otherwise fell on bemused ears.
One such girl was Eiko Magami, a not so busty red-head who despite being inhumanly strong comported herself a normal girl.
That same superhuman strength served her well as she gently but firmly made her way through the cluster of maids to reach their squirming center.
Hopping free of the crowd, the red-headed maid sprinted down the halls even as the more enthusiastic girls followed suit. Once clear of the building, she further startled her passenger by jumping through the trees and past the compound wall.
At that point, Ranma felt that screaming was perfectly justifiable as some strange girl had not only carried him off, but run out into traffic with him. The fact that she was soon out pacing the traffic while going down the road only gave him further reason to voice his opinion of his day so far. "GggaaaaAAAaaaaahhhhHHH!"
Eventually his kidnapper apparently bored of dodging around moving cars, instead making a tremendous leap upwards to land on the flat top of an apartment building. To his surprise she set him down on the roof and let him go, though to his dismay he was more out of breath than she was.
Taking a moment to catch his breath as he sat down against the stairwell entrance, Ranma looked up, only to be surprised at the red-head's change in demeanor. He didn't expect a girl with superhuman abilities that suddenly kidnapped him out of the blue to act so shy and awkward afterwards. "Uhm, what was that about?"
Twiddling her fingers in a nervous habit, the red-head shyly looked away. "Uhm, well, the other girls weren't listening to you, so I uh, kinda tried to rescue you."
Put in that light, he could definitely forgive her a bit of rough handling. "Okay, but don't you think you over-reacted just a bit?"
Still looking a bit shy and uneasy, the red-head hesitated for a bit. "Not really, if I didn't lose them there's a lot of girls there that could track us down."
Filing that important bit of information away, Ranma was glad there was at least one sane girl there on his side at least. "So what was that mob scene back there about?"
Blushing a bit, Eiko glanced at him for a moment. "Oh well we've never had a Master before. A lot of the girls joined because they thought there'd be a cute boy to serve, kinda like having a boyfriend."
Her blush deepening as she realized she didn't want to clue Ranma in on the fact that she was firmly in that category herself, Eiko added a bit more. "Uhm, also us girls with special abilities get sent out to deal with bad guys a lot. That's why a lot of us are there. I mostly get sent out to deal with robots and tanks, though there's this girl named Biko that still has a grudge against me."
Staring off into the sky for a moment, Ranma wondered how he should feel about 'managing' a bunch of amorous super-powered maids. "oh boy."
