Sheila for her part, just continued to hold on, not wanting to let go and lose the feeling of comfort that she was recieving, but she knew that it would go away soon, all feelings of comfort eventually went away for her, since no one cared for her romantically.
After a few minutes of this Ranma asked Sheila a question, "You going to be okay Sheila?"
Sheila just sniffed and shook her head, burying her face into Ranma's chest, she sniffled, "Why doesn't anyone care for me?"
Ranma blinked, "What do you mean?"
"Why is it that a woman has to have at least a C-cup to get any attention from men?" Sheila started shaking a bit, "No one thinks of me romantically, and when I try to be myself, most people think of me as a tomboy or a little kid."
Ranma hugged the distraught Jagwere to him a bit tighter, "Most men are jerks and perverts, and you shouldn't care what others think about you."
Sheila just started sobbing harder into his chest, "Besides Gar, I've had no one. Do you know what it's like growing up alone with only an older brother who's not there because he's trying to make ends meet? To be considered an outcast no matter what, not even becoming an Edge Guard has gotten me any respect."
Ranma frowned as she cried, he held her and rocked her gently as he thought about his own life. "I think I do. I think I understand you."
Sheila sniffled miserably and looked up into Ranma's eyes, "How would you know?"
Ranma gave a wane smile at her, "I know, because for most of my life, I was alone as well. Just me and pops on the road learning martial arts. I left home when I was six years old and spent the next ten years learning martial arts, I hardly had any friends whatsoever, and any I made I had to leave behind soon. I mean, I got used to it, but I was always so lonely."
Sheila was speachless, even her childhood wasn't that lonely, she hugged Ranma tighter, "I'm sorry."
Ranma shook his head and returned the hug, "Don't be, it's not your fault."
Sheila shook her head, "I shouldn't be pouring my troubles out to you, I mean, you just lost your family and everything, and here I am, pouring my troubles out to you."
"Sheila." Ranma sighed, "Sometimes, one just has to let their pain out, believe me I know.
Sheila just nodded her head and rested her face against Ranma's furry chest. "Your fur is nice and silky smooth."
Ranma blushed a bit, "Thanks, are you going to be all right?"
"I think so, but, but just don't leave. I want to keep feeling this."
Ranma nodded and let Sheila rest her head against his chest, he looked over to her unfinished stew and his mouth watered and his stomach growled. Sheila giggled at that, "You want some of my stew?"
Ranma nodded, "Please? I haven't eaten all day, I didn't even get to finish breakfast because I was savagely attacked."
"Sure."
Ranma kept one arm wrapped around Sheila, while he used his free hand to lift the small bowl up to his mouth and he guzzle it down. "Ah, thank you Sheila. I needed that."
Ranma squeezed a bit tighter, much to Sheila's discomfort, but she didn't say anything, she didn't want him to leave her. "How are you feeling Sheila?"
"Physically? I'm a bit stiff and sore. Emotionally? I'm not too sure."
Ranma frowned a bit and then picked Sheila up and placed her in his lap while he hugged her to him tightly. Sheila started relaxing against his body and started nuzzling her face to his chest. 'It's just like that time he held me when he brought me all the way back to the Hamlet.'
Ranma smiled as he felt her nuzzle his chest, he started purring unconsciously, he then blinked, 'I'm purring? Just like a c-c-feline. But then how come I'm not running away in fear?'
Sheila just smiled as she felt Ranma purring, she just closed her eyes and leaned her head against his chest. As Ranma was thinking about why he wasn't running away in fear, one of his hands, the one on the middle of Sheila's back, seems to run on automatic and runs down and starts feeling her butt.
Ranma blinked, 'Oh man, I hope she doesn't get mad at me.'
But Sheila didn't, she actually seemed to enjoy what he was doing to her, she snuggled a bit closer to Ranma and started purring. Anyone who was around the two of them from the Earth realm would've thought that there was an air conditioner going off right now. Ranma blinked and mentally shrugged, 'As long as she isn't angry at me.' He then kept up his ministrations on Sheila's rear-end.
Even though her eyes were closed, Sheila smiled cattilly and started nuzzling closer to Ranma. The mixed breed started thinking, 'She's the first girl to ever enjoy me doing something perverted to her that isn't trying to get me to marry her."
The barkeep, Dragen, had watched all of this and decided that now was a good time to go over and talk to the, apparent, Werecheetah. Most people in the tavern were looking at the Werecheetah, since they were extrememly rare, especially after that massacre. When he got to the table he spoke to Ranma, "I don't know how you did it, but this is the first time I've seen Sheila calm down so quickly. For that I'll give you free eats next time you come in here. As well as my own personal thanks. I hate seeing my friends upset. So you better take care of her, all right?"
Ranma just nodded his head at Dragen, "Don't worry, I never hurt my friends on purpose."
Dragen just nodded and walked back to the bar. Ranma just continued to hold Sheila, caressing her firm yet soft butt with one hand, caressing the base of her tail.
Sheila, even with her eyes closed, let off a soft purr of contentment.
