Brotherly Love
By Minako Tomoka
A Chaos;Head Short Story
It had been a long day for Takumi Nishijou. School was just as much of a bore as it had always been, and now that he was finally home, he settled into the one thing that he always looked foward to- immersing himself in online video games. Although you could say he was addicted to the game, he simply thought of it as a part of life. He had to uphold his honor as the legendary Night-Heart, after all.
He absorbed himself in the game for a couple hours after coming home from school, gulping down soda and crunching on chips and other junk food as he did so. But of course, something had to interrupt his fun. Or rather, someone.
There was a loud banging at the door. A shrilly, obnoxious voice screeched, "Taku! It`s me, Nanami! Come on, open the door! I wanna go shopping!" Takumi grumbled. His little sister Nanami never failed to interrupt him just as he was trying to do something important. He reached into the chip bag, only to realize it was empty. But he was still hungry, as his stomach rumbled loudly. "Damn it. I don`t want to deal with her."
Then, a smirk crossed his face. He got a wonderful, yet awful idea. Sure, it wasn`t going to help fill his stomach, but at least it might make his pesky sister shut up for once. He stood up and summoned his Di-Sword, materializing the red-bladed weapon from thin air. He wasn`t going to hurt Nanami, of course, just scare her a little. Or a lot, depending on her reaction. Whatever the case, he was going to make sure she never bothered him again. He unlocked the door, sneering. "Come on in, Nanami..."
Once the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl entered his domain, Takumi aimed his Di-Sword at her. Nanami said, "Hi, Taku, I was just-"
She never got a chance to finish. Takumi activated his delusionary powers, and his Di-Sword emanated a bright, blinding white flash. Nanami was absorbed by the outburst. When her vision returned, she opened her eyes, only to gape in pure shock. She stood in the center of a massive carpet that stretched ahead like a plain, and everything around her appeared to be about a hundred times her own size. She huddled still, shocked, not fully grasping her situation. Sheepishly, she called out to her brother. "T-Taku...? What`s going on? Why do I feel so...small?"
Takumi grinned. It had really worked. Now that Nanami was trapped in his delusion, he could do whatever he pleased with her, and she had no way to escape. He gave the term 'little sister' a whole new meaning. Nana was indeed little- a bit too little, at that. From his point of view, she was the size of a mouse, barely a speck at his feet. "Hello there, Nanami."
Meanwhile, Takumi`s echoing voice rang around her. "Wha...what is this?" As she watched a massive shadow cast over her, she slowly and reluctantly looked up at her 'big' brother. Takumi looked nothing less than a monster to her. She couldn`t believe what she was seeing. Sure, he was always taller than her, but not big enough to crush her underfoot in a single step. All she could do was gaze upon her titanic brother, speechless. How did this happen? Why was he so big and she so small? And why was Takumi looking down and smiling wickedly at her?
All of those questions ran through Nanami`s mind, but she had no answers to any of them. Instead, she let out a scream and took off running. She had to find someplace to hide- any place to get away from her giant brother. The closest place was underneath the computer desk, so she dove beneath it and curled up into a ball, shivering uncontrollably.
Takumi hadn`t expected her to react that way, and he certainly didn`t expect her to run off so quickly. But he supposed he couldn`t blame her, he would run too if he was confronted by a proverbial giant. But he couldn`t say he disliked this. In fact, it was amusing to see his little sister- or anyone, for that matter- so terrified of him. However, this was only the beginning of the fun. "Oh, Nanami..." he taunted, "why don`t you come out? You came here to see me, right? Don`t you want to talk to your precious brother? You can`t hide from me. I know exactly where you are."
He moved the chair away from the computer desk and crouched down, reaching beneath the desk to grab Nanami. His long fingers grasped her, wrapping around her tiny, frail body. He extracted her from the darkness and gazed upon his now bite-sized sister. Needless to say, Nanami was petrified, locked in the palm of her oversized brother. She clenched up and bit her lip, quivering as Takumi ran his fingers across her body. "Taku...what is this...what`s happened to me?!"
"This is your punishment," Takumi replied. "You keep annoying me every day, and now, I`ve decided to take matters into my own hands. We`re going to have lots of fun together, Nana. Isn`t that right?" He snapped his fingers closed around her like the jaws of a Venus Flytrap. He squeezed hard. Slowly, yet steadily, he gradually increased the pressure on Nanami`s body. She shrieked and squealed, thrashing in his clenched fist. "Please...stop it...let me go...I can`t breathe...!"
He could feel the pulse of her pittering heart racing just below his thumb. It seemed like her heart was seconds away from bursting out of her chest. Her breaths became raspy and ragged.
The poor girl couldn`t understand why this was happening. She just wanted to go out shopping with her big brother, and now she was being steadily crushed alive by him. Sweat dripped down her skin. She could imagine her face turning blue due to lack of oxygen.
Just as she thought it was the end, she discovered it was merely the beginning. Realizing that Nanami was indeed experiencing intense pain, Takumi loosened his grip, allowing her to breathe. Her tiny lungs heaved in and out, sucking in rapid, shallow breaths. She looked up at him with tear-flooded sapphire eyes. "Taku...why are you doing this to me!? I promise, I`ll never bother you again, just change me back to normal and let me go!"
"But I`m not finished yet," Takumi protested. "I still had plenty of fun things I wanted to do with you. That`s why you came here, isn`t it? To have fun with me? Well, if that`s the case, then we`re going to do things my way."
He pinched Nanami by the scruff of her neck and placed her up on a shelf occupied by a wide array of anime figures, mostly his beloved Seira of Blood Tune. He took a step back, admiring his handiwork. "I have to say, you look pretty cute next to all those figures. Maybe you should join them, Nana."
His words did not settle her in the slightest. He only made her feel even more frightened. She felt rather intimidated surrounded by all of Takumi`s bishoujo figures as well. They might have been just plastic dolls, but even they were taller than her, and Takumi`s comparing her to them only unnerved her more. "What, do you want to turn me into a doll or something?! Well, I won`t have it!"
Feeling rather gutsy, Nanami took a leap of faith- literally. She jumped down from the shelf and onto Takumi`s desk. The impact on her legs brought on by jumping from that height sent an immense, splitting pain radiating down her thighs. She winced, but knew she had to keep moving. Nanami raced across the desk, sucking in deep, heavy, panicked breaths. It took every bit of endurance in her to not just collapse in her tracks and give herself over to her brother`s advances.
Takumi, on the other hand, was completely caught off-guard. One moment, Nana was just shivering and looking terrified, yet cute, next to his anime figure collection. The next thing he knew, his shrunken sister had leapt from her perch on the shelf and was now skittering across his desk. "Hey, get back here!" he snapped, slamming his palm down on the desk. He attempted to catch her, but she moved far too fast, and Takumi only ended up hurting his hand in doing so.
Just as he whipped his head around, Nanami reached the edge of the desk and jumped. The girl never displayed a shred of hesitation. Just one glance behind her showed a much more frightening sight than the descent to the carpeted floor. She felt thin air beneath her feet for what felt like a split-second...until she smashed into the ground. Due to her micro size, her fall from the desk was twice as high...and twice as painful.
This time, she wouldn`t be getting back up and running off. A horrific shock blew through her entire body, shattering her bones and muscles. She slumped over and let out an agonized scream. Her entire world was pain. She limply crawled along, struggling to get away. Takumi shook his head at his sister`s stupidity. Even though the entire scenario was a dreamscape created by Takumi`s delusions, the rules of the real world still applied to an extent. If you jumped from 20 feet up and landed without resistance, you were going to break your legs there just as much as you would in real life. "Seriously, why would you do something like that?" he asked. "Now you can`t get away from me at all. That`s a shame, I was hoping we could play together more. Guess that`s not going to happen."
Nanami`s pathetic squirming aggravated him. He raised his foot and stepped on her, pinning her on her back. Her arms and legs flailed about like a cockroach`s. "T-Taku...stop!" she screeched. "Let me go...you`re hurting me!" The intense pressure Takumi planted on her tiny body was nearly unbearable. Her ribs caved inward, and her legs turned numb and tingly due to a lack of proper blood flow. Her vision grew distorted and hazy.
Takumi only increased the pressure, pushing down harder and squeezing her between his toes. A wide, manic grin spread across his face. He hadn`t had this much fun in years. Who knew his delusional gigalomaniac powers would be so disturbingly realistic? For the first time in his life, he had power. He possessed complete control over the life of a being smaller than him, even if that being was his own sister.
Sure, it might have seemed cruel, but he saw no harm in it. After all, none of this was real. It was just an illusion he dreamed up. He could cancel it whenever he felt like it. It was in that moment, listening to his sister`s horrified screams, that he realized how much he enjoyed hurting other people. After being picked on and cast out from society his whole life, he was now in a position of total dominion, and it felt intoxicating. He didn`t want it to end. But he decided to give Nanami a short breather. He slowly removed his foot from her body and bent down, scooping her up in his clutches. "Thank you for doing this with me, Nana. I`ve had more fun here with you today than I`ve ever had. You really are the perfect toy. It was nice to hear you squealing like a little pig."
Nanami could not believe what she was hearing. This was not her brother. It just wasn`t. Admittedly, he was never the most pleasant guy around, and he was pretty lazy, she knew that, but she couldn`t imagine what would possess him to act like this. He still loved her as his little sister...right? By that point, Nanami had become so exhausted by everything that had happened that she simply gave up. Battered and bruised, she slumped over in Takumi`s palm, essentially resigned to her fate, whatever that might be. "Why, Taku...why are you doing this to me...what did I do to deserve this...? If it was something I said or did...please tell me..."
Takumi felt no sympathy for her. After her bitchy attitude all these years, NOW she was finally going to try to understand him? What a waste of time. Give me a break, he thought. "Aww, it`s not so fun now that you`re the one who`s being trampled, is it? You always got everything you wanted your whole life, while I got nothing. You were the favorite, while I was abandoned. It`s only natural that the roles are reversed. Do you think I`ll let you go just because there`s tears in your eyes? Give it up. I only see a sniveling little ball of annoyance...but I can at least put you to some good use."
He sat down in his chair and leaned back, clenching Nanami in his fist. He lowered her to his lap and pressed her against his abdomen, forcing her to listen to the hungry rumbling emanating from deep within his belly. Takumi sneered. "Take a good, long listen, because this is the last thing you`re ever going to hear!" Nanami let out a tiny, scared squeak. No way, she thought. He`s going to...eat me?!
Turned out she was a hundred percent correct about that assumption. She was slowly lifted up, being taken on the long journey to Takumi`s mouth. He regarded her with cold, hungry golden eyes. "Any last words, Nana?"
"Stop it!" Nanami squealed. "Let go of me! Put me down! Just please, don`t do this! I don`t want to be eaten!" The blue-haired teenager let out a sigh. "Honestly, Nana. I was expecting a little more than that. Oh, well. If that`s all you have to say, then I`m sending you on a one-way trip to my stomach!"
His lips parted, and his tongue slithered from his mouth, smothering Nanami. He licked up and down the length of her tiny form, even forcing his tongue beneath her clothes and up her skirt to get at her tasty bare skin. While he was sure Nanami would never taste this good in real life, this was his delusion. He could make her taste like the most delicious thing in the world.
Meanwhile, Nanami was petrfied. She shrieked and squealed, squirming and thrashing about, swatting at the huge, slimy appendage savoring her, but nothing she did helped her to escape. She was trapped in Takumi`s clutches, and she could do nothing about it. She became lathered in hot, sticky drool as her brother salivated all over her, clearly taken by her flavor.
After about a minute, Takumi decided he had enjoyed her long enough. He slowly opened his mouth, presenting his wide-open maw to his sister. Nanami screamed in terror as she found herself gazing down her brother`s gullet. Shreds of drool dripped from his teeth. His breath was as foul as morning breath could be, despite it being well past sunset. He grinned at her. "Have fun, Nana."
He tossed her into his jaws like a piece of candy. His tongue pushed her to the back of his throat, as far as he could manage with her struggling, and then...he swallowed hard. Nanami was grabbed by Takumi`s throat muscles and dragged fully within his esophagus. She punched at kicked at the rippling throat muscles, but her wild thrashing only succeeded in pulling her down further. It was akin to flailing in quicksand. The more you struggled, the faster you sank. Nanami just couldn`t accept the fact that she was being swallowed, and subsequently eaten, alive.
At the same time, Takumi felt her squirming within his throat. Pesky girl. She couldn`t even be eaten properly. He pressed his fingers against the bulge in his neck and gulped continously to force her down. The last thing he needed was to end up choking on her. Soon enough, the little fight came to an end, and Takumi felt her pass into his stomach.
For Nanami, she had lost the battle. She was no match for the sheer, raw force of his body, and so she ended up falling into his stomach. She gasped, sucking in a choked breath. Intense heat and humidity surrounded her, soaking her in sweat, although it was more of a combination of sweat, saliva, and gastric juices. Takumi`s belly was filled with the half-digested remnants of everything he had eaten that day, including a worrying amount of cookies, chips, soda, candy, and all other means of junk food.
Nanami nearly vomited at the sickening stench. Soon, she would be no different than everything else her brother had devoured. She couldn`t believe she was going to be digested into food for him. She winced at the sting of stomach acid bombarding her skin. Takumi`s belly sloshed and rumbled, making Nanami well aware of her fate. The blonde-haired girl hunched over and cried, sobbing into her hands. If only she had treated him a little better, if only she had been a better sister, she wouldn`t be here right now. Takumi was right. She had no one to blame for this but herself- and now, she was going to pay dearly for it...with her life.
On the other side, Takumi felt quite satisfied after devouring his annoying little sister. He felt her squirming and writhing within him for a good while, but her panicked struggles soon died down, and Takumi simply assumed she had succumbed to the harsh enviroment of his stomach. He patted his belly, smiling wickedly. "Oh, Nanami...it`s not all bad news, you know. Look on the bright side- this way, you`ll always be with me forever. Isn`t that what you wanted anyway? Well then, good night, dear sister..."
Finally, Takumi`s delusion came to an end. Both he and Nanami were forced to return to the real world. While all of that insanity had transpired within the confines of the illusion, in reality, things were much different. Takumi was sitting in the chair by his computer desk, while Nanami was hunched over on the floor, sobbing into her hands. Neither of them had moved an inch.
The entire situation played out in their own minds. In that way, it was no different than a dream.
Takumi sighed, disappointed that he had to come back to the real world. "Oh man, it`s over. And I was having such a fun time too..."
Nanami snapped out of her dream-like state as well, quickly realizing that she was no longer the size of a mouse or trapped inside her brother`s stomach, waiting to be digested. Coming back to her senses, she jumped to her feet. Her face was stained by tear tracks. She glared at Takumi. "You...you asshole! What the hell was that?! I fucking hate you!"
And with that, she turned away and ran outside, slamming the door behind her. Takumi was left alone, just as he wished. He hadn`t expected that profane outburst out of her, however. He didn`t think she had it in her. He snickered. "Well then, Nana...if you decide to show up around here, I`ll just eat you again. At least I won`t have to deal with that annoying little brat anymore. She was fun to gobble up, though. I didn`t think she`d taste so delicious. Maybe I should do it again sometime..."
The End...
