On the other hand, a lot of respect was tossed Nodoka Saotome's way. Not only was she something of a marvel, given her way of softly convincing someone to quake in their boots without seeming threatening, but she was a bit... odd as well. Women who were both quietly competent, and a little bit kooky were familiar territory for those serving under Ranma's authority, so they didn't see anything really wrong with it. Besides, someone who could be willing to follow through on a strict personal code was always to be taken seriously.
That was why KOS-MOS was currently leading her down a hallway. When the Master's mother had asked to see where she stayed, there had been no question in KOS-MOS' mind as to what she should do. Such a person was to be treated as an authority figure, and she never questioned the reason as to why there might be a problem with what she was about to do. It was what had been asked of her, and since it didn't countermand any of the orders from her Master, there was no reason to delay her movements.
As a result, Nodoka trailed after the attractive blue haired girl until they came to what looked like a cell door. "This is where you stay?"
"Affirmative. This is where I have stayed since I was brought here," KOS-MOS confirmed.
"But.... Why would my son put you into a place like this?"
"He did not. The previous Overlord had us set up in this place."
"'Us'?"
"The group of us," the blue haired girl confirmed, and opened the door.
Blinking, Nodoka followed her inside... and stared. All around the room was a group of scantily clad women that numbered at least twenty. Some were lounging on cushions, others were standing leisurely, and at least one was seated in what was almost a kneeling position. For women's quarters, this was something a bit odd, and she wasn't too sure why it was set up this way.
"What is this?" the Saotome Matriarch asked with a confused little frown.
A lovely looking silver haired woman uncrossed some very long legs and stood up to idly walk over to her. "This is your son's seraglio, his harem."
"It is?"
"But, of course. We were all collected to serve our former master as sex slaves, but he not only lost to your son, but could not... relate with us. Now we belong to your son, and we are ready to give him whatever... service he needs or desires."
"And you are?"
"My name is Serenity, and, among other things, I am a Healer."
"And the others?"
"We're ready for anything that his imagination might pop up with," a bat-winged woman commented, and arching her back slightly as if presenting her full bosom for inspection.
"He's just been nice to me," murmured the sole little girl in the room.
Nodoka took a look over the entire room before nodding to herself. "Well then, this will have to be dealt with immediately."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I simply can not have you here like this."
"You do not approve of him having a harem like us?" Serenity asked, frowning slightly.
"Him having a collection of women and girls willing to fulfill his every masculine urge?"
"Yes?"
"Oh, but it is so wonderful to see! For my son to have you looking forward to satisfying his needs, it is nothing short of a mother's pride!" the redheaded human declared, and sniffled a bit.
"Then why would you not like this situation?"
"You girls are all in a rebuilt cell, like some sort of prisoners! You should be properly installed in some correct chambers, not put aside in some sort of dank chamber!"
KOS-MOS regarded her with that odd stare of hers. "Then you desire to relocate us."
"Basically, yes."
"And it doesn't bother you that he won't be marrying any of us?" the green haired woman with the bat wings asked.
"He's a young man, and as such, has to sow his wild oats. Besides, men do have their little foibles, and if he has a girlfriend as well as a harem, then that is okay, so long as she accepts it. Not that I've seen him with a girlfriend as of yet...."
"He does have one though," pointed out a catgirl.
"He does?"
"If I remember right, he said that her name was 'Honey'."
Nodoka clasped her hands together, tilted her head back, and let tears of joy run down her face. "My son has a girlfriend and a group of girls who want to be his sexual partners? WAI! My son is so MANLY!"
Despite having gone through some of the most extreme environments around, Ranma still couldn't stop the sudden chill he felt from running down his back.
"Something the matter?" Alecto asked.
"For some reason, I get the feeling that I'm going to have some kind of headache soon...." the Overlord muttered, half to himself, while:
