[Episode 78352] [Episode 78352]"Hey, you, get away from her! She's MY property! I own her, and she's coming with ME!" growled the guy dressed in jeans, a wolf-shirt, and tennis shoes. His long black hair flowed in a ponytail tied with a strip of wolfskin, similar strips forming a headband and armbands. Slightly pointed ears and small fangs in his mouth betrayed his ancestry had a little of the wild side in it.
Ranma scowled, and turned around to face this newcomer and Musk-wannabe. "If you want this girl, you'll have to get through ME!"
"I'm Kouga Wolfhumper!" announced the young man. He'd been chasing this PokéGirl for a good hour and there was no way he was going to let some punk take his prize. He was a proud upholder of the Happousai tradition of Taming; none of that wishy-washy treat-PokéGirls-with-respect crap that Ash Sexem pouf and his ilk were spouting. Treating them as the animals they were was good enough for his father, and it was good enough for him.
Sure this guy was glowing, but that was all a trick, right?
"Choose your PokéGirl and let's fight!" challenged Kouga, plucking off the PokéBall containing his favorite choice. "INU! I SCREW YOU!" he bellowed, abbreviating his fighter's breed name out of habit.
What appeared before Ranma was a young teen landed before Ranma some distance away. He had long, straight silver hair, with a pair of white dog ears sticking up from underneath. A pair of golden eyes glassily scrutinized Ranma, and he was dressed in reddish robes. He also snarled at Ranma, ready to attack.
"Icchan!" gasped the girl. "What did he do to you?!"
"The same thing I'll do to you, Mi-ho'!" grinned Kouga nastily, showing off his elongated canine. "I've already captured your haremmates… though how you were satisfied by Kikyou-SAN, I'll never figure out."
The girl shuddered. She grasped Ranma's leg and pleaded, "Please! Defeat Icchan and claim us all! He killed my mistress, and I've seen what he's done to my haremmates; I'd rather die than be subject to... THAT!"
"Don't worry; I'll protect you!" claimed the pigtailed boy.
"Big words, but I don't see a PokéGirl out ready to fight yet," sneered the PokéGirl trainer.
Ranma cracked his knuckles. "I fight my own battles!" he growled.
"Then you are a fool! Inu! Raking claws!"
'Inu' hissed and surged toward Ranma, drawing one of his clawed hands back to rake Ranma across the chest. Inu was fierce; Inu was fast; Inu was strong...
Inu was as easy to read as a "See Spot Run" book. Ranma saw this thing's attacks from a mile away, and could keep ahead of his strikes with only moderate difficulty. On the other hand, Ranma's opponent was so fast and furious that Ranma was hard-pressed to find an opening in his attacks.
Seeing Kouga distracted, the girl Ranma was defending reached behind her back and drew out a bow out of pocketspace.
"You'll never win, you Poké-thief!" boasted Kouga arrogantly. "Inu is stronger and faster than you!"
"Oh? I seem to be dodging your champion just fine," Ranma pointed out even as he dodged Inu's blows.
Kouga's face contorted in a scowl. "Grrr, just wait! You'll tire eventually, and when you do, you're dead!"
The girl conjured an arrow, nocked it, and drew her bow.
Ranma knew Kouga was right. He was getting tired from the unrelenting strikes of Inu. He would have to think of something—anything—to get a good, solid blow in to take out Inu without harming him, as it was obvious to Ranma that this kid was just a puppet on a string. Ranma's face burned as a razor-sharp claw grazed his cheek.
"HAH! First blood goes to me!" crowed Kouga. "You're finished, hoss!"
*THWUNK!* *BLAM!*
"*Guh...*" Kouga gurgled as his torso exploded in a spray of blood. The glowing arrow that had impacted his chest a fraction of a second before had already vanished. At the same instant, 'Inu' stopped dead in his tracks.
"Rot in hell, you bastard!" growled the girl as she lowered her bow. She approached the bleeding, coughing body deliberately, then kneeled down, putting her hand on Kouga's head as his eyes grew glassier and glassier. She closed her eyes to concentrate...
Inu blinked, his eyes turning clear and more alive as if a thread binding him to Kouga's will had been severed. Inu looked up at the girl and shouted, "KAGOME!" He rushed to the girl, who was now panting heavily and seemingly collapsed in exhaustion. Inu pleaded to Ranma, "Please! Help her!"
"What's wrong? Is she hurt?" Ranma as he looked again at the girl. Her clothing—what remained, at least—was much like a seifuku with a dark green collar and matching short skirt. Her black hair was tangled, but he knew that with proper care it would be rich and luxurious. Kagome's eyes were closed, her face burning in a blush, her mouth wide open and gasping for air. Ranma came to realize that Kagome's skirt had been thrown up carelessly, that she had no panties on, and her hands were buried in that secret place that girls had between their legs. Those same hands rubbed down there, her hips bucking in time to her strokes. Her nipples stood in prominence through her blouse, underscoring just what was going on.
A fierce blush matching hers appeared on Ranma's face. He turned away and muttered, "Uhh, shouldn't she be doin' that in… ya know… private?"
"She needs Taming!" said Inu. Recognizing the blank look, he clarified, "You need to fuck her!"
Ranma's jaw dropped at the kid's vulgar words. "WHAAT?!! No way! How can you ask someone to do that?!" He narrowed his eyes at Inu. "Where did you learn such language, kid? I barely know those word myself!"
"No, you don't understand! She literally needs it!"
"Believe me, no real girl needs to have sex!"
"But she's not a real girl; she's a PokéGirl! She needs regular Taming to stay sane!" protested Inu.
"Huh?" Now poor Ranma was confused.
Inu quickly explained that Pokés needed regular sexual copulation, called 'Tamings'. Without Taming, the would gradually lose their intelligence, becoming bestial creatures that are a danger to themselves and others. Icchan told Ranma of the ten-yen history of Sukebe, the creator of PokéGirls, and Washuu, a mad scientist who had created PokéBoys using PokéGirls as a model. (In her narcissism, Washuu had also created a species of PokéGirl modeled after herself, called the Washuu, but Inu left this part out. As Kago-chan was in desperate need of a Taming at the moment, his explanation had to be brief.)
Ranma summed up this information quite handily. "Sounds like you guys got dealt a raw deal."
Inu, who Ranma assumed was a PokéBoy, cast his head down. "No kiddin'. But we were designed to be superpowered sex-slaves, so we have to cope as best we can. Usually by finding a master willing to give us what we need, but who will also treat us with respect... a tough order. Usually the best we can do is be treated something like beloved pets." He shook his head. "But that can wait. First, you gotta Tame Kago-chan!"
"Kago-chan?" asked Ranma.
"Her real name's Kagome, but..." Again, his face firmed. "No, Taming first, stories later!"
Ranma was still feeling apprehensive about the whole Taming thing. Sure, it was either be Tamed or 'go Feral' for these PokéThingies, but did it have to be him? NOW? He tried once more to wiggle out of it. "Listen... Um, Icchan?" he asked, referring to the name Kagome had given the child.
The child growled, showing his nasty pointy teeth. "Only Kago-chan is allowed to call me that! We've known each other since I was a whelp and she was a kid!"
"Okay, so what is your name?"
"I don't have a name, really. My master just called me by my breed name,
