To say that Naru was a little stunned as she walked home was a bit of an understatement. There was no question of denying what had just happened in the shop - the weight on her chest attested to that - which forced her to think about it and the consequences right here, right now.
So she wanted a way to defend herself from all those monster attacks. Big deal, right? Maybe get a magic wand that shot lightning, or a perfume that repelled them, or an invisibility cloak. A book which would teach her how to use her breasts to hypnotise them would never have entered her wildest or stupidest dreams. Yet there it was, clenched so tightly to her chest it now resided within her rather ridiculous cleavage. She could probably carry it home arms free without anyone even knowing it was there.
It was so weird! Surely these things should have caused her to topple over, or maybe even hurt her back a little. But no. She could feel the weight. It was there. It was definitely there, and they were heavy enough to count as lethal weapons even without the hypnotic aspect. Even so, her balance was unaffected. Naru stopped walking and frowned in concentration, then gave an experimental hop, then a skip, then a pirouette in place. All perfectly performed. So far as she could tell her equilibrium was impossibly normal. Even with this significant alteration to her centre of mass that made her much more front heavy and even though she could plainly feel the difference it was like it wasn’t even there at all.
How very strange. In spite of all rationality Naru’s enlarged breasts were not remotely uncomfortable. In fact, quite the opposite: They felt good in a weird way that she could not articulate at this time.
“Tsk, girls these days!” she heard one woman grouse as she walked past Naru with a disapproving glance. With a nervous gulp the red-haired girl nervously glanced around the street and caught sight of five fainted businessmen, four jealous women, three blushing schoolboys, two gossiping biddies and a lech with binoculars stuck up a tree.
All of a sudden the pavement seemed like the most interesting subject in the entire world. Why, look at all these little cracks and dents! Each of them surely had their own story to tell! Over here someone dropped something heavy, over there are signs of necessary roadwork, and just behind her a girl had just this moment passed by that looked like she was smuggling basketballs.
Home was just around the corner now. After that, she’d get into her room, lock the door (with a lock she’d been extremely insistent upon after certain patterns made themselves so obvious a blind baboon could pick them out) and then read the book cover to cover. Yes. That was the plan. Get home. Into room. Lock door. Study. If anyone calls wanting anything, say with perfect honesty that she had plans for the rest of the day.
Naru’s brow furrowed. It was always an annoying sensation to realise suddenly that she was forgetting something, because by the very nature of the realisation she could not remember exactly what it was she was forgetting. Something that might scupper her plans for the rest of the day? Had she already made arrangements to hang out with someone? Or had her mother made plans already herself? No, those didn’t sound right at all… What was she missing?
“Give it up, you obnoxious brats!” a sinister voice cackled and creaked. “You cannot hope to overcome the overwhelming defense of Fortaleza!”
“Oh, that’s right,” Naru sighed. “There was a monster attacking my house. Again.”
The building itself was now in sight, with no sign of the crystal that had surrounded it when she had left. Okay. That was a good sign. Standing on the roof was a humanoid figure. Generally female figure. Red eyes. Skin the same approximate texture and colour of an uncut diamond. Laughing maniacally. The usual affair.
“We cracked your crystal cocoon!” Sailor Moon yelled defiantly at the monster. “We’ll defeat your dastardly defense!”
All five of them were present. The usual five Scouts. Moon leading the charge, standing in front of the building and staring up at the monster. Mercury peering around a corner, tapping away at her computer. Mars helping Venus back to her feet, both of them looking a bit scuffed from the skirmish. Jupiter helping some random passersby out from under some rubble while keeping a wary eye on the monster.
Alright! Looked like they all had this in hand. Naru nodded and turned to leave. The Scouts would have this all sorted out any minute now, and hanging around would only serve to make their lives and hers all that much more difficult. Yep! Taking the opportunity to leave while she still could was definitely the most sensible move she could -
“Going somewhere, little miss sweater puppies?”
Arglebargle!
The inevitable attempt to flee was futile and halted when a grip as cold and unfeeling as an arctic breeze clamped vicelike around her slender wrist. Naru’s arm was painfully jerked behind her back into a hammerlock and her whole body was jerked around to once again face the former scene of the battle.
Naru sighed wearily and began to mentally count down from ten.
“Kukuku!” the crystalline creature known as Fortaleza cackled. “Just you stay still there, girly! Or I may have to go about breaking limbs!”
“I know the routine,” Naru rolled her eyes. Seven. Six. Five.
“Kukuku! I’ll be taking my leave now! I’m sure that none of you Scouts would like to see this little girly get hurt, now would you?”
Two. One. Zero.
“Mercury Bubbles Blast!”
The temperature in the immediate area dropped just a bit, and visibility dropped all that much more. Fortaleza’s icy grip tightened reflexively, causing Naru to arch her back and groan in annoyance as she felt the buttons on her blouse finally give up the ghost, but then the grip was released upon the sound of “Crescent Beam!” and a sudden burst of light in the fog that struck Fortaleza clear in the head.
Naru stumbled forward and attempted to pull her blouse back into a more reasonable, public-friendly position. Not entirely easy considering she was still clutching the book with her non-hammerlocked arm, but -
“You’ll be alright, citizen,” Sailor Moon’s voice said as Naru felt herself being pulled out of the fog. “We’ll deal with this creature soon enough and <i>goodness, you’re talented!</i> I mean, um, truth love and justice will win the day over cowardice and malevolance! In the name of the Moon, I will punish this monster! And then we shall help you return to your normal state, this I swear!”
So much for escaping the conflict before she was dragged into it. For that matter, so much for titnosis! Even if she had decided to use it, the monster would have still grabbed her from behind. No chance to use it then! Not if the monster didn’t see her front. Not if it attacked her too quickly to defend from.
Was this how her life would be from now on? She’d do her damndest to avoid monster attacks and they’d come anyway? She’d try to figure out ways to protect herself, and they’d still grab her? She’d still have to depend upon the Sailor Scouts for a rescue? Have to be afraid of every little thing, everyone she met, everyone she saw on the street?
Well. Fuck that! It had been a long time coming, and had been building up over the course of this week in particular, but Naru simply couldn’t take it anymore. The frustration within her had built up and up and up with no outlet, no release, no suitable means of expressing it.
And anyone that knows anything about physics or psychology knows what happens when something is bottled up enough. The pressure builds, the heat rises, and before long the issue of an outlet isn’t so much of a problem anymore. If one doesn’t exist then the rising pressure will eventually <b>make</b> one.
It began with an idle twitch of the eye and a few sharp intakes of breath. Nobody seemed to notice except her as one of the Sailor Scouts - maybe Moon, maybe she’d been passed off to one of the others - was more concerned with getting her out of harm’s way so they could deal with this monster once and for all. But Naru noticed, and it made her think.
Helpless? Not anymore. Defenseless? Hardly. She could make it all go away. She could make this stop right here and right now, and all she had to do was -
Without even thinking about it Naru reached for the remaining buttons on her blouse and flicked them open with a few quick gestures. She flicked through the book, tucked it under her arm and with a scowl on her face and a swing in her hips she strode out into the street, backed up against a wall, rose to her fullest height and whistled.
None of them even flinched. Naru impatiently tapped her foot and watched as Sailor Jupiter ducked and rolled away from a flurry of crystalline shards, then shot a blast of lightning directly into the creature’s face, while Venus tried to trip it up with a chain made of hearts.
Naru impatiently tapped her foot and pouted. Fine then. If that was how they wanted to play it. “Hey!” she yelled at the very top of her vocal capacity. “Excuse me! Defenseless civilian, right here out in the open!”
The monster glanced in her direction, prompting Naru to smirk triumphantly. Time to make certain she kept its attention by leaning forward slightly and clasping her hands together underneath her bare bouncy breasts. “Oh no, I’m just a poor innocent civilian! Caught in the middle of a battle that will surely end up with my own death! It’s such a tragedy that a cute and attractive little dearie like me has no means to defend her frail and fragile form from such a mighty monster as yourself!”
As she spoke, Naru began to rotate her shoulders. When one was up, the other was down. Given the way that her upper arms were pressed up against the sides of her breasts this action was creating what Naru understood from the book would be a most interesting jiggling sensation that would maintain the attention of the intended target while the hypnotic effect took hold.
“After all, just look at me,” she said in a completely altered tone of voice. Gone was the faux helplessness, and in its place a seductive sneer that felt as natural to her as breathing. “Look at my bi~ig round breasts. They’re so round, aren’t they? And soft. So~o soft! So beautiful that you can’t look away. Can’t help but stare. Can’t help but let your mind wander away until all you can do is sit and stare and do whatever you’re told by this innocent, sexy, helpless civilian.”
She threw her head back and thrust her chest forward still more. “They’re all you can see. All you can think about. All you know. They’re so beautiful that you don’t know if this is jealousy or lust. They’re so enchanting that you can’t look away. Can you feel your mind filling up with desire? Can you feel yourself surrendering to me and my will?”
“Yes,” several voices echoed, and Naru’s eyes snapped open. She stopped what she was doing and stared down the street to see the monster slumped over, droopy eyed, slouched posture, arms hanging in place and she got the feeling that a closer look might reveal a small amount of drool pooling at the corner of its crystalline mouth.
… And then there were the Sailor Scouts in similar positions. Staring at her in rapt and mindless attention.
The frustration was replaced with quite a lot of nervousness, and in turn was followed with a heaping dose of embarrassment that prompted her to cover herself up. Naru’s heart was quite understandably racing. Alright. So here she was with full power over a monster and by accident the Sailor Scouts as well. A single command from her and they would obey. She bit her lip and shuddered as an unexpectedly pleasant feeling shot through her…
But all she wanted was for the monster to go away. Alright. She could make that happen.
“Fortaleza!” she instructed, prompting the monster’s head to twitch slightly. “Until otherwise stated, this command is for you and you alone: Help the Sailor Scouts to defeat you! Sailor Scouts, defeat that monster!”
The creature nodded, and then the Scouts did much the same. “My only vulnerable point is internal,” it said. “You must fire a blast of energy down my throat.”
“I know,” Mercury said, her tone flat as any pancake. “We were still calculating a strategy that would permit us to strike in that way.”
Fortaleza slowly nodded, then opened its mouth wide. The effect was much like that of a shark. Sailor Mars was the closest, so she stepped forward and stuck her hands deep into Fortaleza’s mouth and said in a tone that made Ami’s sound like Everest in comparison, “Mars Fire Ignite.”
After that it was over. Fortaleza melted away, leaving no trace behind of her existence, and Naru felt that strangely pleasant tingle once again upon seeing the very last trace of it disappear. The Scouts all turned back towards Naru and resumed their staring as though awaiting further instructions.
What now?
Naru looked around the street and blushed. It looked like there were others besides the monster and the Sailor Scouts under her power. A few of her neighbours and random passersby had similarly glazed expressions, making her feel as though she was standing in the very middle of a zombie apocalypse and was the last piece of living meat in the area.
“Wh-when I step inside and cl-close the door, you will all be released from my control! All of you will forget about - about me flashing myself, and - and believe that the Sailor Scouts won all by themselves, no matter what! Got that? Forget you saw my b-bare breasts, but otherwise you’ll be free from my control!”
She couldn’t run inside and close the door fast enough. With deep, heavy breaths and a pounding heart, Naru clutched the book to herself and strode upstairs to her room. She suddenly had a lot of things to think about.
- Naru considers the book in her room, and decides it would be best if she joined the Scouts. It won’t be hard to convince them, after all.
- Naru decides to help the Scouts from the shadows.
- Naru decides that she would like to use titnosis to form her own group of heroes.
- The next day, Usagi confronts Naru on her enhanced figure. In response, Naru accidentally hypnotises her.
- Something else
Cute :)
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be hard to convince them at all~ :3 And maybe they wouldn't just treat her as terrain then!
