Ranma made her way up the stairs quietly her body wrapped in a towel. She had poured cold water over herself after a bath and decided to stay that way. She wasn't against staying as a girl for a short time anyway. Besides it meant she could get away with wearing less clothing considering the heat.

The only downside was she couldn't walk around shirtless as a girl. However it was only one of the downsides to being a girl. She got free food, could wear more comfortable swimsuits and could eat food she couldn't usually as a guy.

She dried her hair with the towel around her neck quietly. The last time she went to bed with wet hair she ended up getting a head cold for 24 hours. Luckily Kasumi had taken care of her; but she didn't care to repeat the incident.

"HEYA BABY! ..." a familiar elderly voice cried lustfully.

Anger, fear and disgust filled her as she looked up to see Happosai lunging at her with lust in his eyes. Couldn't the old freak go 5 minutes without trying to attack a woman? She hoped that he would just have a heart attack already.

He leered at her hungrily his eyes filled with desire. Her skin was so smooth and shiny from the bath. Her well proportioned breasts peeking out from the towel she was wrapped in. And baby those legs made his heart race like a jackrabbit.

"Not today freak!" she yelled angrily getting into fighting stance. She was not going to let this old pervert have his way. She threw a punch in his direction but he just leapt off the end of her arm swiftly. He was a lot slier than he appeared given he was 80 odd years old.

"Too slow Ranma!" Happosai jeered wickedly. He would have his sugar from her no matter what. He needed to feel her soft skin and goods beneath his wrinkled skin. There was nothing quite so beautiful as the female form.

Ranma spun around quickly an angry glare strong in her eyes. She hoped that was the last she would see of him. Suddenly she felt something stuck to her back and stiffened in fear.

"So soft! The body of a woman really is the best" Happosai cooed perversely rubbing against her back. While Akane was a tomboyish beauty and someone he adored more than anything. Ranma had a fiery nature that just made her even more attractive to the male gaze.

Ranma clenched her fists angrily her body stiffening in rage. Of all the men who had attacked her in this body; Happosai was the worst. At least Kuno was easy to pull off or send flying in a matter of minutes.

Hell there were times she wondered if when she eventually married Akane if he would attack them both. When it came to this old pervert nothing was sacred; his age range with women started at 16 to over 40 years old.

"You...sick...PERVERT!" Ranma screeched angrily her voice filled with venom. Ever since he had found out about her female form he had done nothing but grope and attack her at any given time,

Hell there was times she questioned if Akane would even want her after all the men who had attacked and groped her. She would probably be repulsed and think her disgusting and tainted by their hands.

She swung her arm around to grab the old pervert yanking his clothes roughly. She wanted him off of her and now. She felt sick to her stomach and wanted to scrub herself down all over again. Anything to get the feel of him off of her body.

As she yanked harder his wrinkled hands gripped her breasts and she screamed in disgust. Every hair on her body was raised with fear and unhappiness at the feelings running through her.

"GET OFF ME NOW!" Ranma protested angrily. Tears of anger and disgust welled into her eyes. At least when she eventually found the cursed spring of drowned man she could prevent such things like this from happening.

Suddenly she heard footsteps coming and felt a sense of relief washing over her body. At least if it was Akane she could bash the shit out of him. While she hated to admit it; the giant mallet she carried around came in useful.

"Ranma are you ok?!" Ryoga's voice called from the hallway. He had heard the scream earlier and the struggle from downstairs. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs his body stiffening at what he saw before him.

Ranma was clad in a towel which he luckily couldn't see up but she was barely covered. Her body was still somewhat wet from the bath as was her hair. From what he could deduce she must have come out not but a short time ago.

Tears stung her blue eyes and rage, anger and disgust were obvious in her expression at the old pervert gripped to her back. Hell any woman would be unhappy to have a man old enough to be their grandfather feeling them up.

Rage filled him like an ocean wave about to break land in a storm. His body began to tremble with rage and his eyes began to turn red. How dare this old goat attack a woman who was old enough to be his granddaughter?

Granted Ranma was faster in his female form but he his strength depleted greatly in that body. So when he was attacked she was weaker against stronger enemies. It was something she hated more than anything about her female form.

"H...HOW DARE YOU!" Ryoga raged angrily lunging a punch at Happosai furiously. Attacking teenage girls; did he have no shame?! These kinds of people made him ashamed to be the same gender as them. Tainting the male image with their perverse actions and dirty minds.

Happosai saw the enraged teen lunging at him and leapt off the redhead faster than a bullet. He then leapt off his head quickly and vanished out the front door within the blink of an eye. He didn't fancy getting beaten up by pig boy on steroids.

Ryoga's hand collided with the stairs; within impact the stairs shattered causing Ranma to lose her balance. This would mean repairs would have to be done; but at this point he neither cared nor wanted to know.

She cried out in surprise as she felt herself falling and slipped backwards on her wet feet. She had spent so much time yanking off Happosai she forgot her feet were somewhat wet. She panicked as she felt gravity pulling her towards either the floor or the sharp edge of more stairs.

"Ranma!" Ryoga cried loudly as he saw her falling backwards. In this angle she would fall on her back or butt and that would hurt a great deal. He held out his arm to catch her and made an Oomph sound upon her impact. While she wasn't heavy the impact force was a surprise.

"Ah!" Ranma cried out as she hit Ryoga's arm. She wasn't expecting it so she was taken by surprise at hitting him. Her head snapped back a little upon impact but she eventually relaxed. After she realized her surroundings she relaxed a little.

Ryoga looked up from his position and blushed wildly. Her attire was anything but appropriate but he wasn't given time to think about it. However he could do the gentlemanly thing and look away.

He averted his look to her eyes as to not seem like a pervert "You ok Ranma? I swear that pervert has it in for you" he asked in a concerned tone. During his stay at the Tendou household he had learned that Happosai had a perverse interest in his female form.

Ranma blinked and realized she had been caught from behind by Ryoga. While she admitted this situation was still awkward; she was relieved. Ryoga was like her bro; her frenemy and ally. While they had wronged each other in the past; they had great respect for each other.

"Yeah...thanks Ryoga" Ranma said gratefully. If not for him; Happosai would have gotten a free show. While she treated her female form as she would in her male form; she was aware of the danger she faced in it.

Ryoga breathed a sigh of relief; Ranma wasn't harmed and the pervert was gone. Now she could relax and enjoy her evening. After all this she probably wanted to go to bed and sleep. I mean that run in with Happosai would have been emotionally and mentally draining if anything.

Ranma straightened as her current position was hurting her back. As she did so the knot in her towel came undone and began to slip. Before they could contemplate what was happening the towel unfolded flashing Ranma's well proportioned breasts.

There was a long awkwardly quiet silence between the two martial artists as they realized what had just happened. It took them a short time to realize the situation they were in and both reacted as expected.

Ranma's face turned red with humiliation and rage. A man, her rival, her frenemy had seen her chest before Akane had. Of all the embarrassing moments she had ever been in; this was the one she would remember the most.

Ryoga's face went red as a beetroot and his voice was lost. All he could manage was awkward laughter. He didn't know how to react or what to say; he had been raised an only child. He spent so much time travelling he wasn't used to seeing a female naked or in person much.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Ranma screamed loudly and covered her chest as quickly as possible. Why was this happening? Did kami hate or something? Was this further revenge on the fact she was cursed in this body.

Ryoga looked away as quickly as he possibly could and yanked Ranma's towel over her body. He felt just as bad as the old man even if it was an accident. Hell he would understand completely if Ranma slapped him right now.

"I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING I SWEAR!" Ryoga yelled loudly his voice almost high pitched. He was used to Ranma's female body but when it was clothed. He had never been raised around women so he felt embarrassed seeing their bodies.

Ranma pulled the towel to cover her body and made sure it was fastened as tightly as possible. As soon she got to her room she was going to pull on some clothes immediately.

First Happosai had almost seen her form unclothed; now Ryoga had gotten a free show of her breasts and body. Was the world intent on anyone but Akane seeing her female body naked?

"Why? Why is it always me?" Ranma muttered crossly her voice cracking. She never asked to be in this damn female form. Hell it was more trouble than it was worth sometimes.

Ryoga heard her tearful voice and coughed awkwardly "I hope...I hope you'll be ok now. I'll just pretend nothing happened...I won't tell anyone I swear..." he said quietly.

He knew that Ranma had pride as a martial artist; but he himself had a great deal of respect for Ranma and what she dealt with as a girl. He hated how Kuno and Happosai treated her like an item of sex in their perverse outlook on women. It made him sick how they demeaned women the way that they did.

Ranma stopped and felt herself grow nervous; this was the second time Ryoga had saved her from Happosai. The last time he had even loaned her his shirt. She really owed him for all that he had done. She felt like shit that he had helped her out so much and she had done nothing to repay him.

She swallowed nervously "H...hey?" she questioned nervously her voice hesitant. Yes Ryoga was a pain in the ass but he was by no means a bad guy; in fact he could be really sweet sometimes. At least when he wasn't being a jerk and constantly belittling her about stuff that wasn't his business.

"YES?!" Ryoga cried out suddenly his voice nervous. He knew she would be really pissed after what had just happened. Hell any female would if a guy saw her body without her permission or consent.

Ranma hesitated "You...I mean...do you like ramen?" she asked hesitantly. She had never really asked what he liked to eat. Then again as long as it was food Ryoga would eat it.

"Um...sure why?" Ryoga questioned curiously. He was kind of lost as to where she was going with this conversation. Wasn't she really mad at him for seeing her body and catching her in nothing but a towel?

Ranma got up slowly making sure she didn't flash anything. She gripped the towel hard around her body. She avoided his gaze awkwardly "This...this is the second time you've saved my ass. I feel pretty shitty that I haven't done anything in return" Ranma explained nervously.

Ryoga blinked then realized she was trying to pay him back for before and after what had happened earlier. He guessed even Ranma could be sweet when she wanted to be. However she tended to act more bitchy than she did kind in his opinion.

He smiled gently and got up himself "As long as you're paying" he teased playfully. He knew she would be but he wanted to make sure. He'd hate it if he was left with the bill and she ran off somewhere.

Ranma shot him a glare "Obviously stupid or I wouldn't have asked" she retorted sharply. Her pops had money in the drawer somewhere; and he would only waste it on porn. It was going to better use by repaying Ryoga for his debts.

Ryoga flashed a toothy grin "It's a date then" he teased cheekily. They hung out in both of Ranma's forms; but he liked to tease her like this. But then again hanging out with Ranma was more relaxed compared to Akane.

Ranma blushed harder and stormed upstairs shyly "Whatever; just don't be late!" she snapped crossly. She then headed up the stairs to her room blushing madly. Why did Ryoga have to say something weird like that?
