Seeing Ranma suddenly stiffen Jetta guessed that he must have been awake. Being a Lupina, and having protective tendencies put into her genetic code at birth, Jetta had been up for almost an hour now to keep watch and make sure Ranma got a good nights sleep. Although with her previous master she probably would have kept him awake all night with false alarms, so far this Ranma had been kind to her and the others, and thus worthy of her full protection.
Still a little confused with his fright, at least that's was it was judging by Ranma's scent, Jetta kissed the boy's cheek and then moved her head up to whisper in his ear. "Good morning master. Did you sleep well? I hope I didn't wake you, did I?" she asked. Jetta really hoped she didn't, Sheila would be wanting to be satisfied today as well as another one or two of the girls, and if it was two others of the were verity Ranma would be needing all the strength he had.
"N-no," Ranma stuttered. "I'm fine, thanks for asking though. Could you please let me up?"
"Of course Master," Jetta replied before unwrapping her arms and legs from around the boy and watching while he quickly got up. Why in the world did he look so nervous anyway?
"Hey, would you quit calling me that," Ranma told her. I ain't nobody's master."
"Oh, sorry Mas-Ranma," Jetta said, catching herself; although in a few minutes she knew it would be back to master like always. "It's because of the bond you see."
"The what?" Ranma asked, utterly confused.
Jetta blinked a few times then smiled, of course, the kid was from another dimension so he knew next to nothing about this world. "It's kind of like a psychic connection between a pokegirl and her owner. When the bond is established, depending on the strength, the master can force a pokegirl to do what he wants whether it's be his personally fuck toy, body guard, or a cheep whore he can sell off to other people. No one really knows how a bond becomes deeper between a master and his slaves, although the running theory is how dominate you are in bed or how much you subjugate your girl and break her will strengthens the bond." Of course Jetta had already proven that theory a bit false as she had taken regular beatings from her pervious master and never once got down on her hands and knees to beg for it like some of the others while on the verge of being feral. Then again, out of the whole group her will was probably the strongest, so that could have been the reason. But even so the damn thing still prevented her from tearing the bastard limb from limb.
Hearing that Ranma blushed severely. "B-But I don't wanna do anything like that," he said. "I mean, I'll sleep with you guys to keep you from going crazy. But I don't want to mistreat you guys or anything like that."
Jetta smiled at the boy, a genuine smile of friendship and trust she had not shown to a human since she had been a nieve child and been caught all those years ago. "And that is why we will follow you Master," she told him.
"Hey, I thought I told you to stop calling me that," Ranma replied, he wasn't angry or anything, but he didn't treat the girls like slaves so he sure as hell didn't want them to see him as an owner.
"Sorry Master," Jetta apologized, STILL using that master word. "But I'm not an Alpha."
"A what?" Ranma asked.
"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting you don't know things even a seven year old should" the Lupina said. Ranma grumbled something that Jetta could barely pick up, but she just giggled a little at his being uncomfortable like this.
Which in turn caused Jetta to stop in her tracks.
A giggle...how long had it been since she had allowed herself the pleasure of laughter? After being captured and tamed for a few years, she rarely had anything to laugh about, and laughter directed at tamers (especially ones like Sextome) usually brought about harsh beatings and maddening waits for sex.
"Jetta, something wrong?" Ranma asked.
"Oh, my apologies Master," Jetta said before bowing her head. I-I laughed at you being uncomfortable with this situation. I know you're doing your best and got stuck here. I shouldn't make light of that."
"Aw forget about it," Ranma replied while waving his hand. "Now, what's that Alpha thing you mentioned earlier? How come if you were one of them then you could call me by my name?"
"Oh that," Jetta took a deep breath, explaining this one was going to take some time. "Basically an Alpha is what you would consider the head harem pokegirl. They're usually the strongest or most pleasing, and all the time the most trustworthy. Because of that the master hardly ever puts them in their ball as he wants her at his beck and call 24/7. The reason they're usually encouraged by their masters to call them by name is simply when in a crowd it gets a lot more confusing if a pokegirl looses her master and needs to find him again, or is just talking to him and doesn't want to accidentally catch anyone else’s attention.
"Gina was the last Ranma's Alpha," Jetta explained. "I guess he had her because she was the weakest out of all of us in both will and strength." Not that Jetta blamed her, especially considering her background. "Although out of all of us she definitely is the smartest when it comes to math, science, and that kind of stuff."
"Oh," Ranma replied. "That reminds me, do you think I should let the rest of them out now? But they must be kind of hungry, maybe we should get some breakfast first." Ranma sighed and shook his head. "Sorry, I'm kind of new at this." He had never even had a pet before, now how in the world was he supposed to be responsible for six women?
"The other Ranma should have had some low grade pokechow in his belongings somewhere," Jetta told the boy. Although personally she would rather go find a wild animal to eat, that low-grade stuff tasted worse than dog food; which is probably why the little dick bought it in the first place. "But, if you want to let them out that's your call. Sheila, that Shaguare you met last night, might be in need of a taming though."
"W-What?" Ranma asked. "But, why did you guys tell me that last night? I thought Brianna was the only one in danger. I should have taken care of her then."
"After a few rounds with Brianna?" Jetta asked with a raised eyebrow. "Besides, Sheila likes her sex early in the morning and out of all of us she gets it the least."
"Uh, not that I want to sound perverted or anything," Ranma said. "But, how come?"
"Sheila's breed is known for its size in certain areas, especially it's breasts," Jetta told a blushing Ranma. "But, as you could see last night Sheila is a little...underdeveloped."
"She looked fine to me," Ranma replied. "She was a little short, but that kind of made her more cute." Although, he was still completely lost on just HOW he found a cat girl cute. Normally he would have run for his life in terror when around her, but when Sheila thanked him last night with a hug, Ranma had felt...good.
Maybe it had to do with that bond thing? He'd have to ask Jetta later.
Speaking of Jetta...
"Well I'd bet she'd love to hear that from you," the Lupina told him. "Shaguare are the second biggest cat-pokegirl. If Sheila had been normal she's be standing about seven and a half feet with muscles and tits that could made a super model bawl with envy." Okay, maybe she was lying a bit there, there was no way that any human would EVER compare themselves to a sex slave pokegirl, no matter how good she looked.
"Oh, by the way Ranma," Jetta spoke up. "I've been thinking, and it might be best if you were to choose a new Alpha for the harem."
"What?" How come?" Ranma asked.
"Well, Gina never did like the job," Jetta told him. In truth it reminded the poor girl of the 'good ol days' when she was still human. "But you need someone around to help you out. This world is new to you, ya know, and you can't just run around beating up and killing tamers."
"Why the hell not?" Ranma demanded. Very thought of actually meeting someone like this counterpart and letting them walk free disgusted him.
"Because there are laws against that sort of thing here," Jetta explained. "Stealing someone's pokegirls is punished very harshly here, and repeat offenders are sometimes even sentenced to death. And it would break my heart to have someone as good as you die simply because they were doing the right thing. The others and me need you to take care of us. You've given me hope for a happy future for the first time since that brat brought me, please don't take that away."
Ranma just sighed. "Fine, if it's that important I'll TRY not to do anything," he told her, but he sure as he wasn't going to like it.
"So, now what?" Ranma asked.
"Let the other girls out please?" Jetta asked. "I think that you should tell them what's going on, and pick yourself a new Alpha."
