To tell the truth, he still didn't see exactly what had them so giddy all the time.
That wasn't to say that he hadn't liked his first experience in the realm of sex, as he had truly enjoyed making love with Kumori. But the thing was that the boys that he'd known had spoken more in round about terms, used plenty of winking and nudging, and hadn't exactly been all that clear on what they would do with a woman if they got one. Heck, he wasn't too sure that they knew that themselves. Though, he did know that they were clearly not sort on fantasies and ideas, even if they weren't all that educated on the matter.
Stopping in the middle of putting his spare shirts into his pack, he sighed, knowing full well what would happen if he admitted what had happened the previous night to any of his former classmates. Not that he wasn't about to treasure the experience. Really, he had an inkling that he wanted to try it again, but he wasn't all that certain that he could approach anyone all that easily, nevermind just the doctor, with something that... intimate and embarrassing.
So, he kept on packing, understanding that he was going to have a lot to think about.
"Are we going somewhere, Master?" came a familiar voice.
And apparently he was going to have to talk as well. "I kinda figured that stayin' here wasn't a permanent thing."
"Oh, I see," Minako replied as she saw him looking over his shoulder at her and her companion. "Well, I remember that we didn't come to move in...."
"Pretty much. Don't wanna make the people here haveta put us up forever."
Clasping her hands behind her back, Shampoo strolled over towards him and cocked her head to the side. "You have problem with being guests of village?"
"Nah. It's just that I never figured that we would have a reason ta stay here more than a while."
"Oh.... Then, like Minako say, where we go?"
"'We'?"
"Remember terms of Challenge, Master. You defeat Shampoo. That make her your slave for entire year. You plan on taking property with you, yes?" the Amazon slavegirl reminded him, waving a finger at him.
"Uh... Yeah...."
"Shampoo is property. That mean she go with you. Unless, you no like Shampoo...."
Ranma took a moment to look her over... taking special note of the way that her sizable cleavage stretched the fabric of her dress. "A-heh... No. I ain't got any problem with havin' ya... around. Havin' ya around. It's just that...."
"Yes?"
"Umm. Ah. You're new, and I ain't used ta ownin' ya yet. That it?"
"Ohhh.... Shampoo understand. But no worry. Shampoo sure that you get lots of use from her soon enough," the purple haired girl purred, giving a sly little smile.
The meaning behind it was something that Ranma missed.
"It's good to know that you're not planning on leaving Shampoo behind, Master," Minako put in. "Even if I don't know where we're going...."
"Actually, I was thinkin' that we'd go back ta Japan. After all, we are Japanese. Well, most of us," the pigtailed boy responded, shooting an apologetic glance toward the Amazon.
"No need to be sorry. Shampoo understand wish to go back home."
"Glad that ya do. The thing is that Pop only dragged us out here ta get trainin'. Near as I can figure it, he's always meant for us ta go back."
"You'd want to follow his plan?" his blonde slave asked.
Wincing, he ducked his head a bit. "Nah. 'Course not. The thing is that I do gotta agree with that idea. What's the idea of makin' a trip out here ta get some experience, if ya never take it back ta use it. Then it'd just be movin' ta the village, and that's different. Kinda."
"Just wanted to check."
"Yeah, but it ain't like I've got much of a plan beyond that. We'll just head back ta Japan, and go on from there. I'm sure that there's plenty of places ta train back there. 'Sides, who knows? Maybe we can find something, or someone, ta help with that."
"What you say does bring up one point," Shampoo murmured, pursing her lips a bit.
"Yeah? What's that?"
"You were going to learn special technique from Great-Grandmama. That what Shampoo thought bargain was."
For a long moment, Ranma looked like he'd say something, but.... he didn't, and settled for hanging his head while:
