Naked Dignity

Ranma's fighting stance became tense, losing its relaxed-but-vigilant effectiveness. He had seconds before Happosai would take advantage of that. "Okay! But I'm gonna be the one to shave Her! Not the Freak, and not..." he glared at redheaded Kuno, "the other freak!"

Happosai cackled, "Be my guest, pigtailed boy!" And Nabiki smirked.

They were up to or thought they knew something, Ranma was sure. But he would show them! With his greatest dignity, he strode to where the exposed redhead was bound by bras and gagged by panties. He almost went to remove them, but remembered Kuno.

Unlike those other two, Kuno was protesting! He wanted, no doubt, the honor of making smoother her naked, soft, warm skin. As if!

Ranma swept the body up in his strong, protective arms and carried Her like any TV or movie hero would any damsel-in-distress that he had manfully rescued.

But how many of those damsels were totally naked!? He was beginning to feel too manly! His strong arms held her out to protect him from his own manhood.

It wasn't easy! Kuno kicked and rolled and writhed! And every movement caused the loss of some tantalizing part of her and the return of other enticing ones!

And still Ranma strode on, resolved to embrue Her with all the dignity and respect She deserved.
