The one would once again have frowned, if it could. It stopped itself just as it was about to change the mind of its host. It would be oh so easy to do it and get what he wanted, but the borrowed morality of its host reared its ugly head.
To alter the mind of his host in such a way would be dishonorable, and not only that but in a way it would also be 'rape'.
The one didn't understand the concept, but decided to check on its source. Using the now mostly forgotten links to the MC(Mercury Computer), it began a search on the topic at hand.
Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) Rape Rape, v. t. To commit rape upon; to ravish.
Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) Rape Rape, v. i. To rob; to pillage. [Obs.] --Heywood.
It was still confused, until it found a definition it could relate some what too.
Source: Jargon File (4.3.0, 30 APR 2001) rape vt. 1. To screw someone or something, violently; in particular,to destroy a program or information irrecoverably. Often used indescribing file-system damage. "So-and-so was running a program that didabsolute disk I/O and ended up raping the master directory." 2. To strip a piece of hardware for parts. 3. [CMU/Pitt] To mass-copy files from an anonymous ftp site. "Last night I raped Simtel's dskutl directory."
To 'rape' would be to destroy, or damage information and/or program irrecoverably.
It was not happy with this discovery and went about restoring the mind of its host. To destroy was the anti-thesis to life. It was life, and survival mattered. To take life, to become the anti-thesis to its own self would not help.
It had learned, and it would make damn sure nothing like that happened.

R-Symbiot frowned greatly. The One had discovered something of vast.. importance.
It took a moment to think of its current situation, before emitting a 'sigh'ed. It couldn't repair the alterations it made to host mind. The damage had been done. The best it could hope for was general restoration over a period of time.
For the mean time, Host would be confused by her feelings. Hopefully everything will settle down before something drastic occurs.
R-Symbiot was a jealous child, but it was still the jealous child of the One. The One had almost committed an error that it itself had already done, violate the free will of another and seek to 'pillage' and 'rape' them. The best it could hope to do now was make amends.. but it vowed that some way, some how, it would beat L-Symbiot!

Ranma stumbled back before falling it his butt, panting harshly with sweat beading down his body. His eyes were hazy, but some how focused on the unconscious woman before him.
His mind cleared slowly, the adrenaline and endorphines of the moment passing through his system slowly. Thoughts of what just happened flickered through his mind, but the thoughts themselves felt mute - dull in their impact.
"I.. just had sex!" Ranma screamed mentally, images of his Fiancee's and rivals converging to kick his ass playing through his mind.
"I can hear it now! 'Ranma, for screwing some other woman and breaking Akane's heart PREPARE TO DIE!'" Ranma shivered as he thought about what his mother would say, "HOW MANLY! I'M GOING TO HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF GRAND BABIES!" and then there was Akane, "RANMA NO BAKA!"
"Well, nuts to that!" Ranma almost screamed as he hopped to his feet, picking up Lydia in a fireman carry over his right shoulder as he picked a random direction and took off.
Romeo, who shifted to ratform and then back to human form watched as the unknown rat dude carried Lydia off. "Oh we are soooo dooooooooooomed."
