The problem was that he didn't have a clue as to what was going on, and he had been left wondering until he came across one particular house.
"Well, I was wondering where you were, Master," commented a familiar voice.
Turning to face the speaker, he blinked slightly. "Doc? What're ya doin' here?"
"This place belongs to one of the more experienced Healers here, and I've been going over her information about what they do to help the sick."
"Oh.... So you're lookin' in for doctorin' stuff...."
"Pretty much."
"I gotcha," he murmured, nodding in agreement with the idea. But then he noticed something in particular about her. "What's that?"
"What's 'what'?"
"Whatcha wearin'?"
"This? The villagers sort of let me dress in the local style...." she murmured, posing a bit as a light blush rose onto her cheeks.
"Did they?"
"You don't like it?"
He took a look at how the blue dress with gold embroidery emphasized her slim figure, and allowed one shapely leg to slip out from a slit in the skirt. "No, no! It's fine! Good! Great even!"
"I'm glad...."
"Ya are?"
"Of course I am, Master."
"Dunno why ya'd think that's important," the pigtailed boy muttered, rubbing his hand through his hair. "It ain't like I'm an expert on girl's clothin', Doc."
"'Kumori'."
"Eh?"
"It's my name, Master. 'Kumori'," she instructed him softly.
"But...."
"You can use it, you know."
"Ah, sure...."
"Still, I would like to do other things than just stand here...." Kumori told him and glanced towards the door behind her.
"Really?"
"Most definitely."
"Well, then, I'll let ya do it...."
Grabbing him gently by one arm, she guided him towards the house. "You will? I'm happy about that."
"Ya are...."
"Absolutely."
"And ya wanna do... what, 'xactly?"
"Me?" she asked, and looked his body up and down. "I want to... examine you."
"Eh?"
"You have to have injuries. You did fight earlier."
"Ya don't haveta worry 'bout that," he told her, sensing that something odd was about to occur. "I mean, Pop and I've always made do with just a bit of bandages and asprin...."
"Sounds like him. But I can't allow that to continue."
"No?"
"By no means. As a doctor, that goes against my training, oath, and calling. As your slave, your well being is of great concern to me. And as a woman, I can't just let you carry on with pain."
"I can handle it...."
"You shouldn't have to. Now, are you going to remove your shirt?" she asked as she nudged him to plop down to a sitting position on the examination bed.
"Hold on a sec...."
"I could do it for you...."
With a hard swallow, he looked up at her and gave a weak request with his eyes. "I don't wanna do it...."
"Then I'll take care of it for you."
"Ya aren't gonna.... YA!"
"See, this isn't so bad," Kumori murmured as she knelt down in front of him and began to undo the clasps of his shirt. Despite the waving of his arms, she managed to get it open, and slipped the garment off of his torso. "And what do we have here? A rather large bruise...."
"It's just from that hit from Shampoo earlier," he hissed, not entirely aching badly at her soft touch on his injury.
"You could use some care for that."
"I could?"
The doctor tongue darted out to run across her lips for a second, but she kept most of her composure. "And I can give it to you."
"Ya can...."
"It's what I'm trained for," she told him, her breath a bit ragged as she spoke.
"Don't ya put yourself out for me...."
"Who says that I think that I'm doing that?"
"But, don't ya think it's a bit much?"
"Trust me, Master," she sighed as she massaged one of his thighs. "I'm not bothered by doing this for you. At least, not in a bad way."
"What's that mean?"
"It means that...." she trailed off.
"Ehh.... That's.... Oh man...."
"You aren't unaffected...."
"It's not.... I'm not.... Ya ain't...." Ranma stammered, trying to find some sort of way to not cause her to hate him forever.
"No, I'm not troubled by this."
"Huh?"
Giving him a small smile, she leaned her forehead against his like she was trying to take his temperature, but the way that her breasts pillowed a bit against his bare chest took a bit of innocence away from that act. "You must realize that you can see your slaves as being attractive, and your slaves can see you as appealing."
"Ya can't mean.... I mean...."
"'Full-use' does mean that you can sleep with the slave whenever you want. Especially when she wants you to."
"Oh," he grunted, knowing that what she had said meant something. However, there was something that seemed to be alluded to by her words. "Ya ain't 'full-use'."
"Which means that I'm the one that you can be sure would choose to be with you."
"But, that would mean that you'd have to...."
"I would, wouldn't I," Kumori gently agreed, leaning her face closer to his as:
