Trial by Belly Part 1

Starring:

• Angie Yonaga as the predator
• Tenko Chabashira as the prey
• Himiko Yumeno

As Angie locked her research lab's back door, Tenko could sense the displeasure coming from her, despite the artist's perpetual smile.

For a while, Tenko's best friend Himiko had been spending a lot of time with Angie, becoming fast friends with her and converting to her religion. Tenko was both concerned for Himiko's well-being but also jealous of her friendship with Angie. So when Angie announced that she was forming a student council with Himiko and a few other students, Tenko signed up in order to keep an eye on her friend. Since then, she saw Himiko become more and more withdrawn, especially from her. This was because of Angie brainwashing her; of that, Tenko was sure. She had to do something to get her friend to snap out of it! She was so desperate, she even enlisted the help of a degenerate male! Though, to be fair, Shuichi was one of the least degenerate ones. But even with his help, Tenko couldn't persuade Angie to drop the whole Atua thing or Himiko to leave it behind. In her frustration, she snapped at both girls, insulting Angie's religion and disputing Himiko's magical capabilities. Too late she realised that she had crossed a line.

Angie curtly dismissed Shuichi and he left the research lab quickly and quietly. She then coldly instructed Tenko to stay and the martial artist froze in place while the research lab's doors were locked. She had a sinking feeling that Angie wasn't just going to tell her that Atua would punish her descendents. Not this time. She gave Himiko a pleading look but the mage barely even looked at her. Clearly Tenko's claim that she wasn't a real mage bothered her.

"I-I'm sorry-" Tenko started to say to Himiko, but Angie cut her off.

"Tenko," Angie said matter-of-factly, still with an unsettling smile on her face, "you keep trying to lead other students astray by telling them to ignore Atua's will, most of all Himiko." She waved a hand in Himiko's direction and Tenko saw that the mage was staring at the floor, almost as if in defeat. "Atua may be a very merciful god, but there are limits to his forgiveness, and tonight, you've gone too far. Atua has decreed that you must be punished, and he says that Himiko will help."

"Nyeh?" Himiko uttered in confusion. She had no idea what punishment awaited Tenko, let alone what her own role in it would be. She hoped it wouldn't be too harsh; despite the martial artist's overwhelming boisterous behaviour, Himiko did still consider her a good friend.

"Don't worry, Himiko," Angie said softly. "As long as you open yourself to Atua, he will guide you through this."

"OK," Himiko replied, sounding less certain than she actually was.

"No, Himiko, you don't have to do this!" Tenko cried in a panic. But it was too late. Himiko had closed her eyes and was muttering what sounded like gibberish. Tenko tried yelling Himiko's name to snap her out of it but to no avail. She took a step towards her but a glare from Angie stopped her in her tracks. Only a few seconds later, Tenko was struck by a brilliant beam of white light and she had to close her eyes to avoid being blinded. She fell to her knees as she felt all the strength drain from her body, and then keeled over onto her side and rolled onto her back. She could feel something happening to her, but she couldn't tell what.

As the light subsided, Himiko began to fall as well, but Angie caught her and gently lowered her to the floor. That last spell took a lot out of her and she was glad to have the support, even if she didn't show it. Angie then looked at where Tenko had previously stood. The Neo-Aikido practitioner was lying on the floor, still alive and conscious but too disoriented to move or open her eyes.

"Nyahahaha! Your magic worked perfectly, Himiko!" Angie cheered. This got Himiko to look up from the floor and over to where Angie was looking. What she saw made her smile.

"Of course it did," Himiko replied confidently. "My magic always works. But why did Atua want me to shrink Tenko?"

As soon as Tenko heard those last two words, she immediately sat up and opened her eyes as if waking up from a bad dream. When she did, however, she quickly realised that this was no dream. Brush holders and cans of paint came up to her head and went beyond. Tables were as tall as buildings. Angie and Himiko, who were now staring at her, looked like giants. Most embarrassingly, however, most of Tenko's clothes were now many, many sizes too big for her. Only her underwear and hair accessories shrunk with her. When Tenko looked down at her almost-naked body, she shrieked in horror!

"What's going on?" Tenko screamed. She then looked up furiously at Angie. "Is this what your Atua wanted? I knew it! He's just as big a degenerate as all the other males!" In response, Angie reached out and plucked the doll-sized Tenko from the ground, pinching the miniature martial artist's waist between her thumb and index finger. Tenko yelped as she was swiftly lifted up to Angie's enormous, smiling face. "H-hey, put me down!" she shouted as she kicked, squirmed, and flailed to try to get out of Angie's grip. The artist merely hummed as she gave Tenko a close inspection, getting a good look at her from every angle. Tenko could also see Himiko regarding her with similar interest. "Himiko, tell her to put me down!" she yelled, but Himiko just leaned in with an amused smile.

"Wow, Atua makes some very lifelike dolls," the mage commented as she started rubbing her index finger up and down Tenko's torso, causing her breasts to bounce. Tenko's screams rose and fell with Himiko's giant finger. Her cheeks heated up, not just because of the undignified position she was in, but because part of her liked seeing Himiko have fun with her body. Nevertheless, Tenko's tiny body was delicate and wouldn't be able to withstand too much rough play, so she had to make it stop.

"Himi ... ko ... stop ..." Tenko said breathlessly between screams. Mercifully, Himiko did stop, giving Tenko a moment to catch her breath. She was so focused on what Himiko was doing, however, that she didn't notice that Angie's tongue was sticking out until she felt something wet and slimy slide up the back of her legs. Tenko winced as the tongue gave her butt a nice, long lick before travelling up her back and retreating back into its owner's mouth. Angie then turned Tenko around to face her and licked her again, from her feet to her face, covering the tiny girl in saliva.

"Atua has blessed you with a divine flavour!" Angie joyfully remarked. "Mmm, mmm, mmm! Yummy, yum, yum!" Tenko tried to protest but she could only cough and splutter.

"I wanna try!" Himiko piped up. Before Tenko could react, the mage yanked her out of Angie's grasp and started licking her! Unlike Angie, Himiko opted for shorter licks, getting a taste of each part of Tenko's body separately. "Mmm, you were right Angie, she is delicious," she said once she was done. Tenko stared in disbelief at the two giant girls. Was this her fate now? To be nothing but a tasty toy for Angie and Himiko?

"Atua has made a decision!" Angie announced suddenly, taking Tenko back into her own hand. She then pulled the shrunken girl towards her belly. This close up, Tenko could hear Angie's belly gurgling and churning as it digested her dinner. "Tenko will go into my belly and stay there for three days and three nights." Tenko's disbelief gave way to terror and she wriggled with renewed vigor. Even Himiko's playful smile gave way to concern. "Don't worry, Atua will protect her from my stomach acids. Then, once three days and three nights have passed, if Tenko has renounced her wicked ways, she will be spat back up and returned to normal." Angie then pressed Tenko up against her belly. "But if she hasn't, then my belly will sacrifice her to Atua!" At that moment, Tenko heard a deep rumble come from Angie's belly.

"Are you crazy?" Tenko shrieked. "You can't just eat me just because Atua told you to!" But her protests fell on deaf ears. Angie dangled Tenko over her gaping maw. As the martial artist was slowly lowered into the giant mouth, she kicked wildly to try to save herself, but Angie's lips snapped shut around her waist, trapping her legs inside. Moments later, Tenko was sucked in deeper as Angie started to gulp her down. Her abdomen disappeared behind the artist's lips and her chest soon followed. "Himiko, don't let her eat me!" she cried out desperately, hoping that her best friend would save her.

"I hope you see the light," Himiko muttered, "because getting digested sounds like a pain."

Himiko's wary expression was the last thing Tenko saw before her head was sucked into Angie's mouth. Her legs had already started disappearing down Angie's throat, and each gulp brought the rest of her closer! Her body slid along Angie's tongue, drenching her in saliva and allowing the artist to enjoy her taste once more. As Tenko was pulled into the throat, its muscles dragged her further down. Angie continued swallowing, dropping more saliva on Tenko's head as she descended further and further. She couldn't kick, she couldn't scream, she couldn't do anything to halt her descent!

Then, all of a sudden, Tenko found that she could kick! Unfortunately, this was because her legs had just arrived in Angie's belly, and the rest of her body was still to come. Tenko was forced to tuck her legs in as more and more of her body took up space in the belly, until finally her head popped in. She found herself sitting in a dark room that was barely big enough to contain her. The walls around her squeezed her rhythmically, creating a horrible groaning sound that seemed to reverberate. A thick, lumpy broth flooded the floor of the chamber, gurgling away and splashing Tenko. Then, just as she thought things couldn't possibly get more disgusting, she heard an ungodly noise from above.

*OOOOOOUUUUUAAAAARRRRRRRRRPPP!*

Himiko gave Angie a look of disgust when she heard the artist's burp. She thought this would prompt her to excuse herself, but nope. "Burps are how we say thank you to Atua for the wonderful meals he gives us," Angie explained as she started to rub her belly, "and Tenko was an incredible meal. Not just because she was tasty, but look how much she's filled my belly!" She took her hand away from her belly, allowing Himiko to see that Angie's belly was bulging considerably! Anyone who was paying attention would certainly notice that Angie's belly was bigger than usual, but she could simply pass it off as having eaten a lot.

"You sure she won't get digested?" Himiko asked anxiously.

"But of course!" Angie replied. "Atua won't let me digest her until three days and three nights have passed. So without further ado, let the trial by belly begin!"

Chiaki's Check-Up Part 1

Starring:

• Chiaki Nanami as the predator
• Mikan Tsumiki as the prey

Normally on a Friday afternoon, Chiaki would be engrossed in one video game or another. For the last few weeks, she had been on a quest to beat every main series Mega Man game without taking any damage - a quest that had been going so well until the incessant stomach ache that was troubling her today and forcing her to go to the nurse's office. So instead of fighting Guts Man, she was sitting on a hospital bed while Mikan inspected her protruding, groaning gut. Mikan's usual shyness and anxiety seemed to disappear once she realised she had a patient and Chiaki was grateful for her help, although she didn't appreciate when the nurse leaned in and prodded her bare, bloated belly.

"Fascinating," Mikan whispered to herself, so caught up in observing how the gamer's belly reacted to her touch that she didn't even register the sound of her friend wincing.

"Is all this really necessary?" Chiaki asked in pained tones as she stroked the spot where Mikan had prodded her belly. That got the nurse's attention.

"Ah! S-Sorry! P-Please don't hate me!"

Unfortunately, it also brought her anxiety back out again. Mikan looked up into Chiaki's eyes with a pleading expression.

"Don't worry, it's fine ... I think," Chiaki said, trying to reassure Mikan. "Just do whatever you need to do to cure this status ailment." Mikan took a few seconds to compose herself before continuing.

"So, I don't know what you ate but it's ground your digestive system to a halt. Your stomach's trying to break it down, but it's too weak and it's not producing any stomach acid." Mikan then stood back up. "Do you remember eating anything unusual in the last 24 hours?"

Chiaki put a finger to her chin as she tried to recall what she had eaten. Teruteru made her a delicious curry for dinner last night, but other than that she had only really eaten snack foods like popcorn throughout the day - she was too preoccupied with playing games to have anything else more substantial. She recounted this to Mikan while getting a belly rub from the nurse, which she had to admit was somewhat soothing. While her diet wasn't exactly the healthiest and had led to her putting on some weight, neither of the girls could see how it would completely stop Chiaki's stuffed stomach from digesting its contents. This would normally be the part where Mikan started babbling about how useless a patient must think she is if she can't even work out why they're unwell, but this time, she had an ace up her sleeve.

"W-Well, luckily Miu let me borrow one of her inventions that should help us get to the bottom of this," Mikan said, trying to hide how excited she was about using the invention in question. It was at this moment that Chiaki spotted the sleek, white wristband on Mikan's right arm. The nurse sat beside her on the bed and began fiddling with the bracelet. "Let's see ... this should do it."

"What does that-" Chiaki started to ask, but before she could finish her question, a sudden flash of brilliant white light came from the bracelet, forcing her to close her eyes and bring her hand up to shield them. When she opened her eyes and moved her hand away, Mikan's clothes were strewn over the end of the bed, but there was no sign of Mikan. There was, however, something small wriggling around in the discarded pink shirt. Chiaki leaned in to get a closer look, groaning as her stomach started to hurt again, and lifted the shirt collar, and what she saw made her gasp in surprise. Inside the shirt was a tiny Mikan, no bigger than the gamer's thumb, wearing nothing but her underwear! While the nurse stammered nervously and tried using her arms to cover herself with little success, Chiaki reached into the shirt, pinched her waist between her thumb and index finger, and plucked her out.

"Was this meant to happen?" Chiaki asked with a quizzical look on her face.

"I-I thought my clothes would shrink with me!" Mikan replied defensively. Perhaps if she had known Miu better, she might have suspected that her uniform not shrinking with her was a feature of the device, not a flaw. When Chiaki's confused expression didn't disappear, Mikan explained that the idea was to shrink herself and go into Chiaki's stomach to see what was happening and maybe make it all better.

"So I'm eating you," Chiaki concluded bluntly. She then opened her mouth wide and brought Mikan towards it.

"W-wait, no! You're not eating me!" Mikan protested as she felt Chiaki's warm breath waft over her and caught a whiff of what lingered of last night's curry. "You're just-"

"I'm putting you in my mouth," Chiaki explained, "where I'll get a taste of you." She started to lower Mikan away from her face as she continued her explanation. "Then I'm going to swallow you, sending you down my throat and into my belly." By the time Chiaki stopped lowering her, Mikan's head was right by the gamer girl's belly button. "That sounds like eating you to me."

Before either girl could say anything more, a loud, long groan came from Chiaki's big, round belly. Instinctively, Chiaki rubbed her complaining belly to try to soothe the soreness, pushing Mikan's head into her belly button where the noises sounded even louder while rubbing the tiny nurse's body against the gamer's belly fat. When the wave of abdominal pain subsided, Chiaki realised where she had just put Mikan. She pulled the nurse away from her belly, lifted her back up to her mouth, and started to apologise for what she had just done. However, getting up close with a giant girl's belly button so suddenly like that had left Mikan too dazed to comprehend what that giant girl was saying. What brought her back to her senses was when Chiaki's apology was cut short by her burping, causing a noisy wave of warm air to wash over Mikan.

"Y-yes, burp on me ..." Mikan said timidly, prepared to accept Chiaki's gas as a form of punishment.

"Mikan, I need you to focus," Chiaki said sternly. "I'm eating you so you can fix the problem in my belly." With that, she popped Mikan in her mouth so quickly, a scream came from the tiny nurse, though it was soon muffled when Chiaki's mouth snapped shut. The gamer's eyes suddenly widened and she inhaled sharply as her tongue picked up Mikan's flavour. Mikan soon found herself being rolled around in Chiaki's mouth while the giant tongue tried to squish and rub itself against every part of her body. Although Chiaki's stomach wasn't making any stomach acid, her mouth was making a lot of saliva and it was getting all over Mikan. As Mikan coughed and spluttered to try to get it out of her own mouth, she heard Chiaki's voice come from the throat behind her.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

Chiaki was in bliss as she held Mikan inside her mouth. To say the tiny nurse tasted good was an understatement - that girl was the most delicious thing this gamer had ever put in her mouth! She wished she could just keep Mikan in there forever so she could enjoy her flavour whenever she wanted. As saliva built up in her mouth, however, Chiaki knew she had to swallow her soon. She tilted her head back and sent Mikan down her throat with one big gulp. Thanks to all the saliva coating her and being swallowed with her, Mikan easily slid all the way down Chiaki's throat and soon landed flat on her back on something soggy in Chiaki's belly.

Mikan quickly realised that she was lying on top of the food her friend had eaten previously. The pile of food was high enough that, once she stood up, the sphincter that led back to Chiaki's throat was within her reach. As Mikan reached up to touch it, however, she lost her footing on the wet, slippery surface and slid rapidly down the mound, screaming all the way until she hit a moist, rubbery wall.

After swallowing Mikan, Chiaki licked her lips and looked down at her belly, wondering when the tiny, tasty nurse would land in there and work her magic. Soon afterwards, she felt an oddly pleasant thump next to her belly button. Realising that must be Mikan, she sighed softly and rubbed her groaning belly where she felt the thud. Part of her hoped that there would be more sensations like that to come.

"Yummy, yummy, Mikan in my tummy!"

Mikan grunted as the stomach wall she hit pressed her into the soaked pile of chewed-up food. Despite the sounds of the stomach straining all around her, she could still hear what her gamer friend was saying and it sent a chill down her spine. Was Chiaki actually going to let her out once she fixed what was wrong with her belly, or did she no longer see Mikan as anything but a tasty treat for her bulging belly? Either way, the nurse had a job to do, and there was no chance of her getting out of Chiaki's belly until she did it.
