“I-I-I’m not really all too sure if I should be doing this Ms. Taokaka.” A nervous Noel Vermillion stammered. “I m-mean I’m on a mission and all, and I don’t have time to be taking such detours…” She had been wandering the city, looking for any leads on Jin Kisaragi, when a cat from the Kaka Village had pounced on her, and before she knew what she was doing, she was being dragged by the one and only Taokaka. 

	“Nonsense Lacking Lady! A quick trip to the Kaka Village never hurt anyone!” Taokaka purred, as she bounded down the path.

	“L-L-L-Lacking! How m-many times to I have to tell you not to call me that!” she squeaked, instinctively covering her chest, her ears burning a heavy shade of red. She was a very meek and insecure person already without anyone having to point out how extremely small her bust size was. Of course Taokaka was the type of person who was far too dense to take a hint.

	“Oh? Well then how about Flat as a Board Lady? Or what about Itty Bitty Titty Lady? Cardboard Plank Lady? Zero no…”

	“I-I-If you are just going to bring me all the way out here just to tease me, then I am leaving!” Noel huffed, trying to hide the tears in her eyes.

	“Oh come on missy, I was just having some fun, meow! You know how I like me bobbies all big and fluffy right? I mean, there is neowthing  like having a big pair of mammaries jiggling and wriggling all over your hands while you squeeze them right?” Taokaka gushed, practically drooling over the thought.

	“W-Well, having a l-l-large ch-chest would feel nice…” Noel whispered, faintly remembering her fellow classmates own sizable chests.

	“Right! And when Tao saw Lacking Lady fidgeting all by her lonesome, a thunderbolt went off in that dusty ol’ cranium of hers, meow!”

	“T-Thunderbolt?” Noel asked, obviously confused by the cat’s ramblings.

	“That’s right! Tao figured why not help out Lacking Lady not be so lacking anymore! Isn’t Tao generous!”

	“I-It isn’t anything perverted, is it?” Noel asked, protectively pulling her short skirt down in defense.

	“Perverted? Not unless you want me to?” Taokaka grinned, her sharp teeth growing wide under her hood.

	“No no no! I trust you Ms. Taokaka! Just not anything p-perverted, alright? I just want to know what you are planning.”

	“Well, Tao figured that the best way to get boobies, is to do things the tried and true Kaka way!”

	“And that is?”

	“Eat and sleep of course, meow!”

	Noel sighed. “Is that it? I ate a ton in school and didn’t even gain a millimeter…” She was surprised to feel a little remorse, finding herself actually looking forward to a miracle cure for her accursedly tiny chest.

	“Tao isn’t talking about eating just any ordinary human food! I’m talking about meat buns!”

	“I’ve tried eating those too, they don’t work…”

	“You sure don’t get it huh Lacking Lady. These aren’t ordinary meat buns! These are the Kaka’s Village special boobie fattening meat buns! I’ve had them every week since I was a little kitten and look how big my own boobies have gotten, meow!” Taokaka thrusted her own chest in front of Noel, making a show of how they bounced to and fro with such vitality. Noel couldn’t help but follow their gyrating rhythms with her eyes, the effect of a pair of undulating breasts having a hypnotizing effect on the young girl.

	“I-I had no idea…I’ll do anything you say boobies…” Noel muttered.

	“Great! Then neowon with the show!” Taokaka exclaimed, grabbing Noel by the hand and guiding her to the heart of the Kaka Village.

_______________________________

	“M-M-Ms. Taokaka. I do really appreciate you trying to help me with my, um, c-c-c-chest problem. But I think this may be even too much for my tummy…” Noel said, finding herself at a loss for words at what she was looking at.

	“Too much? But this is normally just a appetizer for me.” said a perplexed Tao.

	“A-Appetizer! T-This thing is as big as the Black Beast itself!” Noel said, dumbfounded at the cat’s words. Before the both of them lay what may be the world’s, no, the Universe’s largest meat bun. It boggled Noel’s mind how she was supposed to eat this all, especially when it was revealed to her, that it was for a singular person, and not for an entire village as she first thought.

	“B-Besides, is that even cooked? It’s practically moving…” Noel said, pointing out that she swore she saw the meat bun vibrating ominously.

	“Well duh Lacking Lady! It has to be super fresh! How else are you going to get all those calories from? Processed meat just won’t cut it! It has to be still alive and kicking!”

	“A-A-A-Alive!? Oh my goodness, just what is in there Ms. Taokaka?“ Noel asked, knowing she would regret the answer.

	“Just the usual.” Taokaka said, extending a sharp claw from her gloved hand and slicing a small hole on the side of the meat bun. Before Noel’s widening eyes, out popped a small female form, bound and tied up.
	
	“Ohmygosh! Is that a…a…a?” Noel stammered.

	“Yup! A mouse!” Taokaka grinned, stroking the shivering girl in a predatory fashion.

	“No way…I-I-I….you just can’t expect me to e-eat a beastkin?”

	“Why not? Don’t you want to have big boobies?”

	“But eating another living creature is wrong Ms. Taokaka! I mean, how could you?”

	“Because I’m a cat, duuurrrr! Besides, these thing breed like, well, mice. If it wasn’t for us, the whole city would be overrun with em’!” Tao stated matter of factly.

	“Still… it just seems wrong…”

	“Well, I guess you don’t have to eat it if you don’t want to. I mean, if you are okay to having the most tiniest, flattest,  microscopic level chest in the entire cosmo-”

	“OKAY FINE I’LL EAT THE DAMN THING! J-J-Just please stop talking about my b-breasts…” Noel yelled, a rare thing for the normally quiet and shy girl to do.

	“Hooray! Hear that everybody! She’s going to eat you alllll up, meow!” Taokaka said to the mice still struggling inside of the meat bun.

	Noel grimaced at the thought of the mice, but she had been pushed to the brink, and was unable to turn back now. “Still, how am I going to eat all of that, I don’t think I’ve swallowed anything bigger than a grape…”

	“Really? Well it is super easy! Watch!” Taokaka said, as she grabbed the scared mouse girl, lifting her up over her head. Noel watched in awe and horror as Taokaka opened her salivating maw impossibly wide, and dropped the whimpering beastkin into her mouth. In a single rolling gulp, Taokaka swallowed her up, tail and all, the huge bulge traveling down her throat and into her belly, stretching the fabric to their limit.

	“W-Wow.” was all Noel managed to say.

	Taokaka let out a contented belch, rubbing her round belly with glee. “Yummy! You mice are as delicious as ever, meooouUURP!”

	“I-I still don’t see how I’ll be able to do that Ms. Taokaka…”

	“Oh for the love of- Look here Lacking Lady!” Taokaka exclaimed, her impatience at the rather dull Noel finally getting to her. She got up in a flash, far too fast at someone carrying such a weight, and bounced toward Noel.

	The girl couldn’t tear her eyes away from the cat’s round belly as it swayed toward her, and was unprepared when Tao grabbed a hold the sides of her cheeks.

	“See, it is easy, once you learn to do this first!”

	With a snap, Noel felt something painful pop in her jaws. Instantly, her mouth hung open far lower than she had ever thought possible. “W-whuh!?

	“There! That was the hard part right? Neow…” Taokaka grunted, as she lifted the monstrously huge meat bun over her head, and walked menacingly toward Noel, “For the easy part!”

	“N-No! There is no way that is going to fit all inside me!” Noel desperately said, though with her jaw in such a state, all that came out was a garbled mess.

	“Less blabbin’, more cramming’!”

	With a shove, Taokaka shoved the beginning of the meat bun into a whimpering Noel. The poor girl felt her mouth widen in a instant, the sensation so powerful, she blacked out almost immediately.

____________________________

	It felt like a eternity, but eventually Noel’s eyes started to open, the blurry image of the sky slowly coming into shape as the blackness faded away from her mind.

	“Oh I feel horrible…” she whispered, feeling her sore throat with her hand, “What kind of nightmare was I having…”

	“The tasty kind I would hope, meow!” a voice called out beside her.

	“M-Ms. Taokaka!” Noel said, surprised. She tried to stand up, but found herself stuck to the floor my something incredibly large, and warm.

	Gulping, Noel slowly turned her head, bracing herself for what was pinning her. As her eyes took in the full grandeur of what was in front of her, she felt like passing out again. Laying heavily on top of her legs, and blocking her entire field of vision, was the gigantic pink wall of her belly, having exploded from her form fitting clothes.

	“T-That is my t-t-t-tummy? N-No way…” Noel gasped, feeling the overwhelming fullness finally hit her senses. “What on earth did you do to me…”

	“Only filled you with the finest one hundred percent certified mice filled meat bun! Guaranteed to fill you up and fill you out like the thousand ton calorie bomb that it is!”

	“J-Just how many m-m-mice were in there….”

	“Just a few dozen! Perfect for a beginner!”

	“A FEW DOZEN?!” Noel screamed. Almost on cue, the contents within her sprang to life, the multitude of beastkin squirming for dear life inside her bloated belly, desperate to find a way out. Noel gasped as she felt all their hands and feet scrap and pound at the pulpy lining of her stomach. It was unnerving to say the least, as she watched with rapt horror as the skin of her stretched middle listed from side to side with the movement within, numerous bumps from the trapped denizens within making visible bumps like some ungodly brood.

	“Wow! Aren’t they lively! You gotta do better than that if you don’t wanna turn into micey mush!” Taokaka teased, prodding Noel’s sides.

	“Oh oh God! Please make them stop moving! It feels too weird!” Noel pleaded, clutching what she could of her belly, trying hard to ignore the muffled squeaks of the doomed mice emanating from within their damp and dark prison.

	“Hold your horses! Just give your tummy a second to kick in, meow!”

	“W-What are you talking aboooouuuuuUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPPPP!” Noel belched, the air freed up from the beastkin’s struggles finally escaping from her lips in a long brass note. Turning redder than she ever had before, Noel put a dainty finger to her mouth, clearly aghast at the gaseous explosion that had formed in the cauldron of her gut. “N-Noooo….Now I can never be a bride….”, she moaned piteously.

	Like a switched that had been flipped, her digestive system came alive like it had been infused with the Azure Grimoire itself. Its powerful muscles squeezed on the hapless mice, crushing them into a tight ball. Torrents of digestive fluid began to pour in, kneading the acids onto their skins. Noel grunted in pain as the globular blob of her belly rippled and shook with digestive fervor.

	“Woah- Ho! Look at that baby go! Your tummy is such a pro at this!” Taokaka clapped, watching with excitement as Noel’s belly practically bounced up and down like a out of control washing machine, swirling its living contents around against their will.

	Without warning, the opening of her small intestines opened up like a drain, sucking in the bodies of a couple of beastkin, eager to draw in and extract all the precious nutrients. Noel gasped, feeling the sensation travel all the way up her spine. The intestinal tract went to quick work, covering the mice with enzymes, doing its best to break them down further as they went on their way. As the minutes passed, Noel noticed the struggles of the beastkin had ceased completely, the acidic storm and relentless grinding of the stomach finally snuffing the life out of them. The only sounds and movements left now, were the sloshes and gurgles of a ravenous digestive system and it pulverized its meal into a fatty nutritious soup.

	“All those poor mice…” Noel sniffled, her hands wandering about the skin of her belly, desperate to find any sign of life within. Her compassion was rewarded with the last of the beastkin’s screams and yells escaping via a bubble up and out of her throat, another rumbling belch causing her to blush in morbid embarrassment.

	“Look on the bright side! Their noble sacrifice was needed in order to give you the chest you always wanted! They will always be a part of you, meow! Just in the form of two wondrous,  beach ball sized boobies!”

	“B-Beach ball sized?” Noel said in awe, imagining the pair of titanic fatty glands hanging from her chest, barely contained in her uniform. “That doesn’t sound too bad…” A small warm smile graced her face, the genuine innocence of her personality making her glow. “Oh thank you all. I promise I’ll never ever forget you!” she said from the bottom of her heart, hugging the enormity of her girth. It gave a grumble in response, as another round of gooified micey mush was sucked into her intestines.

	Taokaka smiled proudly, her own mouse filled gut gurgling as it finished processing its own meal. “Yup! This will work no matter what, or my name isn’t, um, oh yeah! Taokaka!”

_______________________________________

-Some Time Later-

	“I promise I’ll never eat another meat bun as long as I live…” grumbled a irritated Noel, as she moved a stray lock of her blonde hair out of her eyes, trying her best to ignore the gawks and stares of the people that past her by. “S-Stupid cat. If I ever see her again, I promise it will be as enemies…”

	True to what Taokaka said, the Kaka Village specialty of mice filled meat bun had worked wonders on the once skinny and curve less Noel Vermillion. Just not in the way anyone expected. Oh, she had gained a massive amount of weight alright, but not a pound of it went into the chest she had so desired. Instead, like a form of karmic revenge beyond the grave, the fatty remains of the mice decided to locate all their poundage on her lower body, blimping them out into obscene proportions. She was already know for having well toned and shapely thighs, but now they were thickened to the size of tree trunks, constantly rubbing against each other, the size having ripped holes in her black leggings, the pink flesh peeking through. Her hips were equally affected as well, widening far beyond the width of her shoulders, along with a nice ring of pudgey fat that circled her waistline. In fact, the stark contrast between her top and bottom was so extreme, it made the obviousness of her boyishly small chest all the more apparent.

	On the verge of tears once again, Noel waddled down the street, mentally taking note that she would arrest every single person that dare let their gaze wander at her fattened body.

	“Noel, is that you?” came a surprised voice. Noel instantly seized up, recognizing it.

	“L-Litchi! W-What are you doing here?”

	“Um, I work here, my clinic is right behind me, see?” the busty, glasses wearing Chinese woman said, pointing to the office behind her.

	“O-Oh, is that right, hahaha…” Noel laughed nervously. She figured that she was in such a daze, that she had drifted unconsciously into a familiar territory. “I guess I sorta didn’t notice.”

	“That’s alright, it is always nice to see a familiar face around here. Though I didn’t expect to see you having such a growth spurt since I last saw you!”

	“Y-Yeah, some growth spurt….” Noel said, not bothering to add the rather morbid explanation for her acquired fatness.

	“Though I must say, isn’t that uniform a bit too, uh, small now?”

	“S-Small?”

	“Yes, you can see more than usual I’m afraid.” Litchi said, her gaze lowering toward Noel’s bottom.

	Noel twisted her head, trying to see what Litchi meant, only to be greeted with the shocking view of her bulbous butt, the twin cheeks having bubbled out to such a degree that they had lifted her tiny skirt up and over them, giving the world a picture perfect view of the jiggling mounds of fat.

	“I-I’m hideous!” Noel wailed.

	“N-Nonsense. Since when did having curves make you ugly?” Litchi offered, trying to calm the distraught girl down.

	“B-B-B-But I wanted breasts on my chest….not on my BUTT!” she sobbed.

	“Since when did having a large breast make you a woman Noel Vermillion. Why, where I come from, it is the hips that define fertility.”

	“R-Really?” Noel hiccupped, wiping the tears from her eyes.

	“Yes. In fact, judging from the size of yours, I wouldn’t be surprised if hordes of men offered for you to bear their children!” Litchi smiled. 

	“C-Children? How embarrassing….” Noel said, her face turning a slight pink.

	“Yes. Society would have gone to ruin if it wasn’t for women with such child bearing hips such as yours. Now, come inside, it must be unpleasant wearing such a drafty outfit. I have plenty of…outfits that would fit perfectly on that, soft and inviting body of yours.” Litchi said, a wicked grin coming to her face as she grabbed Noel by the hand and led her into her office.

	“O-Oufits? I have a really bad feeling about this….” Noel said, shivering in fear as she was lead into the den of Miss Litchi.

	Layers of fat would not go unpinched tonight, in one of the many possibilities, of the Continuum Shift…

-In a restaurant not far from town-

	“Just how long are we going to be here?” Ragna said, clearly frustrated.

	“Not until…” the cloak covered girl paused, leaning back in order to release a warbling belch, “Oh that’s better. As Luna said, not until Luna has had her fill you lumbering pedophilic oaf!”

	“Dammit! Stop calling me that!”

	Out of the same grease drenched mouth a second, more boyish voice emerged. “Oh dear, Luna seems to be on a bit of a bender this time. We could be here for a while.”

	“Shut it Sena!” Luna said, overriding her second personality, as she shoved a mammoth sized knob of meat into her mouth, giving a few bestial chews before sending it into the bottomless pit of her gut.

	Ragna took a look at his ever dwindling wallet, giving another tired sigh. “How come every girl I know is such a gluttonous hog? And why do they always come to me for food?” As he contemplated his poor lot in life, the strength of the table finally gave up its ghost, cracking in half under the weight of Luna’s belly, sending it and the food, crashing onto the floor.

	“Like a little gravity is going to stop me!” Luna growled, as she began to pick up whatever scraps within her reach.

	Feeling a migraine coming on, Ragna could only watch as Luna’s pink belly, exploding from her dingy robes, continued to balloon outwards, no end in sight to its burgeoning quest for appeasement. “Please… for the love of god, help me Professor Kokonoe….” Ragna muttered.
