The star-streaked night sky hung like a tapestry against the vast verdant canopy of the jungle. An evening murmur of nocturnal birds and chirping insects was broken by an unusual sound from amongst the brances of a tall tree -- the voice of a human.

"But Bagheera, I don't want to go live in the man-village. My home is *here*, in the jungle!" a tomboyish voice asserted.

The woman to whom it belonged sat, arms crossed under sizeable cleavage, her back to a sturdy trunk. She was on the shorter side for a human, but adulthood reflected clearly in a figure developed from 20 years of hunting with her adopted wolf pack. While she might have once been called a cub, now-a-days those jungle inhabitants who knew her used the name given by her mother wolf: Mowglii.

Further along the branch, a large, sleek-coated panther stretched out, an exasperated sigh escaping him.

"We've had this all out before, Mowglii. You can't remain in the jungle, the pack decided it was too dangerous. Now that Shere Khan has finally returned, he will never stop hunting you. Now, let's get some sleep, we have a long journey ahead of us." Bagheera settled into a comfortable position facing away from the girl, and closed his eyes.

Mowglii's toned legs dangled off the sides of the long tree branch, the moon casting a slight gleam on her copper complexion. A scowl peeked out from under a short tangle of raven hair, aimed squarely at her companion.

"I know the danger, and I can handle it...I can look out for myself." she muttered, turning her head to stare wistfully over the darkening jungle.

That would have been the end of it, but for another creature they unknowingly shared the tree with. Up in the canopy, something shifted. A spade-shaped head peeked through the leaves to see the cause of the noise that attracted his attention. Kaa, for that was the name of the large python, observed the woman with keen interest. Humans were seldom seen in the jungle, let alone a speciman as beautiful as this -- she must be the famous "girl-cub" adopted by the wolf pack many years ago. He looked her over hungrily, though he had eaten not too long past: from the top of her short-haired head, down the ample chest, covered in some strips of red fabric that humans sometimes wore, down her slim midriff, towards the lower regions, also adorned with red cloth, and finally over her lucious legs, hanging tantalizingly off the branch. The perverted python shivered in anticipation, and began to descend, silently, upon the unsuspecting jungle girl.

Mowglii, meanwhile, was busying herself by pulling leaves off a dead bit of branch. Kaa's movements were so slight and subtle, that she neither heard nor saw him until his head floated into view, startling her momentarily. A hissing voice announced itself, close enough to be heard by her alone.

"Ssssaaaay Now....What have we here? Mmhmmhmmm, it'ssssss a girl-cub, though full grown....a delicioussssss, girl-cub..."

That did it. Mowglii had never met nor heard of Kaa, but she was in no mood to be patient with the python. As things were, both his uninvited presence and how he'd referred to her were both *very annoying*. Throwing her hands up, Mowglii shoved the snake away from her, hoping to wipe that smug grin off his face.

"I'm NOT a cub, so just go away and leave me alone!"

Bagheera, half-alseep already and oblivious to Kaa's presence, huffed to himself.

"Yes, though it would be nice if you stopped acting like one. Now, there's no use arguing anymore, so just, please go to sleep Mowglii..." he yawned, returning to his doze.

Kaa, momentarily stunned, shook his head slightly as he heard the panther speaking, a mischevious idea forming itself in his head. He glanced at Bagheera, and judging him unlikely to stir, shifted his attention back to the jungle girl. Slithering forward, he reared his head up in front of her and back, almost as if beckoning Mowglii towards him. His eyes began to change; beady pupils disappeared as strange, colorful rings blossomed forth in their place, expanding out as ripples in a pool, a repeating pattern of cyan, yellow, and indigo...

Mowglii was getting fed up with Kaa's antics. Letting out a sigh of irritation, she looked up to confront the snake, only to find her gaze immediately drawn to his. Something about his eyes were...different. They seemed to glow, coming alive with a strange pattern of colors. Her annoyance slowly started to melt away, as she found herself leaning forward to get a better look at them, her jaw dropping open of its own accord.

"Yessss, Mowglii, pleassse, go to Sssleeeeep, pleeeease go to ssleeep..." Kaa hissed in songlike fashion, continuing the 'come hither' movement with his head, delighted as he watched the jungle girl follow his movements, her own pupils shrinking down as she continued to stare. Soon, colorful rings began to bloom in their place, mimicing the python's own...cyan, yellow, indigo...

Caught off-guard, Mowglii was scarcely aware of her mouth hanging open, the beginnings of a yawn tugging at her lips. In front of her, the dazzling display of colors flowed smoothly into one another, the edges of her vision beginning to blur. Mowglii's arms dropped limply to her sides, her back leaning forward to take in more of those captivating colors. She heard the snake call her name, and ask her, much more nicely than Bagheera had, to go to sleep. The jungle girl's irritation vanished entirely, tension she'd been carrying around all day melting away as a warm peaceful relaxation began to set in. What had she been so upset about? Should couldn't quite remember...it didn't matter.

"Ss...Ssleep?" she managed to mumble out.

Kaa chuckled as his hypnosis began to take hold of the gorgeous girl-cub's mind. Shifting some of his bulk unseen in the canopy above,  his tail snaked down from behind the trunk, moving towards the unsuspecting Mowglii. Swaying his head like a pendulum, the serpent's semi-song took on a more seductive tone as he hissed suggestions to his soon-to-be slave.

"Yessss, sssssleeeeep, with meee....Trusssst...in meeee...."

Mowglii's head helplessly followed along, her eyes locked onto Kaa's. There was something strange...something...different about this snake. He didn't seem as annoying as she'd first thought. In fact, his voice and his eyes were kind of...pretty? Alluring, even. A blush of red creeped into the jungle girl's cheeks, as she felt a stirring down below.

Kaa's tail coiled slowly but surely around Mowglii's waist, wrapping snugly over the bare skin of her midriff and pinning her limp arms to her sides. It snaked upwards, loop by loop, pushing up, around, and over the woman's breasts; eliciting a (luckily for Kaa) barely audible, breathy moan.

"A-ahh~"

"Ssshh....Sssleeeep sssexxxyyy girl-cub....Lussst in meeeee..."

Keeping up his rythmic display, the captivating colors, and sultry suggestions, the girl-cub's mind would soon be overwhelmed -- and once he had coiled her completely, she would be his. He just had to keep things quiet enough to keep the panther none the wiser.

Mowglii, meanwhile, flushed a deeper red as Kaa's seductive words floated through the haze of her mind. Images and fantasies played out in her imagination, each more arousing than the last. The sleepy warmth of the coils enveloping her body was only eclipsed by the heat she felt in her nether regions. Subconsciously, the jungle girl attempted to slide her hand to her crotch, only to find her arms completely trapped under a thick blanket of coils. She wanted so badly to sleep, but needed to keep staring into those wonderful, alluring eyes, and listening to that arousing voice. Her eyelids drooped, fluttered open, and drooped again, all the while the cocoon of coils rose around her.

"Ssssleeeeeeep....SSSsssssleeeeeeeeppp..."

So tired...so sleepy....so...horny... Mowglii's mind fogged over more and more, fighting sleep, unable to touch herself, barely able to keep staring into those captivating colors that endlessly repeated...cyan, yellow, indigo...

As the tail wound around her shoulders, the buildup of pleasure started to reach a fever pitch. Mowglii's back arched reflexively, her breathing heavy, the volume of her moans increasing. The tail wound further, reaching towards her delicate neck...

She was so close now. This is what she'd always wanted, but never known. The snake's eyes, his voice, his coils, they were all so...incredible, so wonderful, so sexy...she wanted to....she needed to...!

"A-aaAAH--ULK!" her climaxing yelp was interrupted by the timely tightening of Kaa's tail around her throat. Silenced and fully encased in a cocoon of tight coils, all Mowglii could do was quiver as the orgasm pulsed through her. Whether from the intense pleasure or the lack of air, her spiralling eyes briefly rolled back in her head.

Kaa quickly wrapped his tailtip over Mowglii's mouth and tensed, listening for any sign that the panther had been alerted. He kept his hypnotic gaze upon the helplessly hypnotized jungle girl squirming in his coils.

As her orgasm ebbed, a *PING* resounded through Mowglii's entranced mind. Unable to form thoughts of her own, a smile formed on her beautiful face as she gave in completely to Kaa's eyes as her own pulsed endlessly with hypnotic colors...cyan, yellow, indigo...

Kaa chuckled, his own eyes returning to their normal shade of yellow as he removed his tailtip from over Mowglii's mouth. He lifted the smiling slave-girl easily off the branch, and brought her spiralling eyes closer to his face.

"Hmmhmhmm, you'll sssertainly never have to leave thissss jungle, girl-cub, but we bessst keep that to oursssselves, hmm?"

"...MmY-yesss..."

"Gooood. Now sssleeeep, little one. Asss Bagheera sssaid, you have a looong journey ahead of you..."

With a happy sigh, Mowglii's eyelids slid shut, her mind slipping easily into a deep slumber. Slowly, the sly serpent left the tree with his prize, taking care to make as little noise as possible. Soon, they were well away from Bagheera, well away from the prying eyes of anyone who might come looking for the jungle girl. As for Mowglii, she slept peacefully in a snug blanket of coils, her dreams filled with colorful spirals and serpentine lust...

...The End?
