So, he basically tended to go only with great reluctance, and never did so seriously unless there was a reason, like being late. Had he been given the chance, he'd do something like walk on fences, or hop between rooftops, so as to get a little training in on the mundane activity. By any sort of measure, he should have been strolling along, merely heading in the direction of the school only because he had to.
At the moment though, he was walking slowly on the ground, with the bag of supplies that he'd just gotten slung over one shoulder as hunched underneath it. The look on his face was depressed, and every so often he'd sigh heavily. In fact, he almost seemed like he was both dreading, and anticipating, going beyond the fence of Furinkan Senior High.
Obviously he was seriously bothered by something, and wasn't too keen on letting it be. "Ya really don't gotta follow me the whole way there."
"Perhaps, Master. But isn't this way better?" Kasumi chirped from her spot behind, and to the side of him. "This way you can be guided to where the school is."
"Like I really wanna go...."
"Master?"
"Nothin'. It's nothin'. Still, I ain't gonna make ya stay with me all day. Don'tcha got stuff ta do?" he asked her.
"Well, I suppose that you're right. My laundry won't dry itself."
"Really? Good. Then why dont'cha go and take care of it?"
"Certainly. I'll get to it as soon as I get you to school."
Heaving a great big groan, he began to wonder why he was stuck in a situation like this. Not only was he stuck with going to school, but he had her insisting on going with him. Despite the fact that she was no longer a student, she seemed rather certain that her presence would be needed. The problem with that though was that her being there was attracting all sorts of attention to her, and on to him.
After all, the sight of a pretty girl in a maid's uniform tended to do that.
Just where she had gotten a legitimate maid's uniform, he didn't know, and wasn't all that certain that he wanted to know. At the very least, it wasn't one of those kinky things that he saw in comics or on television. Her uniform had a fairly long skirt, that just gave glimpses of her stocking clad legs as she strode about in her low heels. However, there were spots like between the brooch that closed the collar of her blouse to the top of the apron, it was as if her chest was being framed so as to put her breasts on display. The ruffles on the straps of her apron covered the puffed up portion onto her shoulders just a bit, with a small cap in her hair. With her long sleeve clad arms crossed in front of her, with her hands clasped together, she looked like the picture of a dutiful maid. And the fact of the matter was that she basically was his maid.
"Look, Master. You see that. It's the area for the front gate of the school," Kasumi cheerfully mentioned pointing off at an area nearby.
Ranma peered over at the entry way and found that he wasn't too keen on having to go through all sorts of things that they don't want any more. "And ya plan on comin' right in with me, now don'tcha?"
"I was thinking that I'd walk you to your school, and go home once you are settled there."
"Ya mean it. Ya'd let me relax on my own."
"Absolutely. You do need to be able to concentrate, and it's a slave's duty to support her Master in his duties and responsibilities.
At her words, he just sighed heavily, and tucked his bag under one arm, wondering if he could get things to work out better, while:
