...my clothes!"

(chapter originally by faith on writing.com)

Chie stared at Yukiko as if she had just grown a second head. Yukiko herself was a little dumbfounded by her own statement. Did she really just volunteer to strip off all of her clothes in the middle of town? The shrine was often deserted, but the shopping district was practically the center of activity for the region (loss of business to Junes aside). How would she get back to the Inn without being seen?

The fox continued to look at her expectantly.

Drawing in a breath, Yukiko started to unbutton what pieces of her clothing remained undamaged by the host of felines. Her red shirt fell away to the ground.

"H-hey, Yukiko...." Chie began.

"Its okay, Chie. You got scratched up because of me, remember? I'll just borrow your jacket and skirt." Yukiko said, trying to reassure herself as much as Chie.

"This thing?" Chie said, raising up her jacket, which had become riddled with claw marks and gashes. "And the skirt...I'm not sure I can call it that anymore. Maybe a 'belt'."

"Its foggy. No one will see us if we're careful."

"But..." Chie stopped as Yukiko removed her undershirt. The lacy red thing Yukiko used as a bra filled out her large milky breasts very nicely. Chie gulped.

"Chie, you were hurt for my sake. Again. Please let me do something to make amends!" Yukiko said, unhooking her bra and allowing her beautiful orbs to bounce free.

Chie stuttered out something she intended to be a protest, but the words lost any sense of coherence on the way past her lips. Even in the darkness of early night Yukiko’s half naked body stood out clearly in the moonlight. Her breasts were large, the pink nipples rising prominently and standing out in bluish light, swaying slightly as she moved. Her skin looked so soft, her curves well rounded and feminine with enough fat to make her flesh bounce slightly as she worked. Chie’s shadow had rather gleefully explained how jealous of her friends Chie secretly was. And while she was trying to overcome that feeling, watching the girl sway in the moonlight was a definite reminder of WHY she envied her so much. Little exercise, yet she stayed thin, somehow keeping that perfect balance to be soft and cute without being overweight. Chie just wanted to grab hold of her and squeeze her like a teddie bear.

Chie closed her eyes, sucked in a breath, and begged her stupid head to stop that line of thinking. This situation was bad enough without getting all pervy. Yukiko was doing this for her sake, and all because she had been too useless to take out a few stray cats!

That bitter thought said, Chie opened her eyes…Just in time to see Yukiko with her back turned towards her an her skirt dropping. Her panties were sheer, red, and almost see through. And then she hooked her thumbs into the waste band, bent over and pushed her pnties off, revealing her round, bouncy butt. And then she turned to the stockings, bending over even further as she rolled them down her legs, revealing her shaven pussy lips in the process. And thus it was that Chie’s brain stopped working all together as she stared like a deer in headlights at her friend’s naked glory.

Yukiko stared down at the pile of clothes at her feet, then at her entirely exposed body. Hiding what she could of her large large breasts and exposed sex with her hands, she stood there blushing and slightly bewildered with her heart pounding. Everything had become so surreal, yet the reality of finding herself naked in public all too clear and immense! Then, as if in slow motion, she raised one bare foot and stepped softly away from her garments and nodded to the fox. Without preamble the beast quickly and expertly gathered the tattered remains of the clothes into its jaws and scampered away. Yukiko stood there a long and tense moment, a little cold and very aware of her nakedness in the unfolding silence. Moments later, a blur of fur darted out of the darkness between the two girls and deposited a particularly large supply of leaves between them.

"Th-thank you very much!" Yukiko said, impulsively bowing in gratitude, her hands falling to her hips and her large jutting out in front of her.

The fox gave a friendly 'yip' before returning to wherever place it called home within the shrine.

“S-so….” Chie said at last, reminding herself not to stare at her best friend…and completely ignoring her own advice. “N-now what?”

“W-well….” Yukiko said softly. “I think…now we treat our wounds with the leaves. So…if you’ll…umm…take off your clothes….”

“Wha-wha-whaaaaat?” Chie said in alarm.

“Your cut all over! It’s the easiest way to apply the leaves. And once we’re done, we can…”

Yukiko winced a little. “Divide up it all between us so we’re both covered…at least a little.”
