Emi had laid on her stomach like a cat on the branch for most of the afternoon, and nothing had happened. Her mother warned her there'd be days like this in the Pomaika'i jungle, the vast forest where her mother settled, she'd been born and raised, and made her home in. Being a jungle girl meant boredom. A lot of it.

The snake co-habiting the tree at the moment was going to make sure her boredom didn't last. Kaa, a hypnotic python, enjoyed hypnotizing and coiling the young woman up, and playing with her like a toy. Sure, Pomaika'ian hypnotic pythons couldn't eat humans, but many of them realized they were too fun to play with to eat. He was spooled up on a branch above her, watching her, but not in a creepy way, waiting for a chance to make a move. Snakes are patient creatures, and he showed great patience. If he were a human, he would be biting his bottom lip in anticipation as he prepared to descend. First, he unspooled his head and the first few feet of his bulk, slowly. Then, he brought his head down, below the branch he was on. She still didn't see him.

Her tanned skin and toned body glistened in the equatorial sun. She was almost naked, except for the bikini and loincloth she wore, which she referred to as "Standard issue". He didn't know what that meant. He was an animal, after all. Quickly, he descended below her branch, turned back towards her, and stuck his face in hers. "Hello, Emi!"

"AH!" She shrieked, almost falling out of the branch, but Kaa brought his tail down and caught her. She laid on his tail for a moment, looking up bewildered at him, clearly having not expected to see him. Then, he deposited the jungle girl back on the branch, so she straddled it.

"Oh, I'm ssssssso ssssssorry," he said, approaching her slender face, pretty, with brown eyes and straight brown hair falling on her shoulders. "Did I ssssssstartle you?"

"OF COURSE YOU DID!" she barked.

"Again, I apologizsssssse," he said. "What were you doing?"

"Go away Kaa, I'm busy!" she snapped.

"Busssy!?" he laughed. "With what!?"

"Jungle girl stuff," she answered hastily.

"You don't look busssssy to me," he chuckled.

"Yes I am!"

"No you're not!"

"Yes I am!"

"No, you're not."

"I am!"

"Not."

"I am!"

"You are!"

"I'm not!"

"You are!"

"I'm not!"

"You are!"

"I said I'm not! I've got nothing to do--" She paused, eyes wide, mouth agape. He just pulled a Bugs Bunny on her! That son of a--"I won't let you do that to me again!" she declared. "In any case, I don't want to be hypnotized right now."

He chuckled again, knowing she wasn't telling the truth. "Oh, yessssssss, you do!"

"No, I don't!"

"Yesssss, you do!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Don't!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"Don't!"

"I said I do! If you don't like it--" Again, she paused, eyes and mouth even wider now.

"Well, if you inssssissssst!" he said playfully, then shoved his face in hers. The purple, green, blue and yellow-colored rings burst from his eyes, reflecting in hers. She had no chance to look or get away. That's not to say she didn't want to be hypnotized, of course. Her arms fell to her side, and she leaned forward to get a better look at his eyes. A warm, but tight feeling in her chest began to grow. The 19-year-old's mouth hung open in dull surprise as Kaa began twirling his head, making her follow. She couldn't look away, and she didn't want to, either. Yes, she actually appreciated his hypnosis right about now.

Now that he had her falling under his spell, Kaa brought his tail back from the branch above, and brought it down to her. Then, he carefully slipped it around her waist, spooled it around her back, and gently tightened his grip on her. Then, gently and softly, he began to sing.

"Watch my eyessssss...

Let them hypnotizsssssse..."

The hypnosis already affecting her, Emi felt the urge to give in, to obey Kaa's suggestions. But she resisted, and immediately, felt way better than she had been. It was a technique developed to enhance the hypnotic trance, bliss and enjoyment of one of these encounters. Simultaneously, his tail, now wrapped around her midsection, drew her in. They were so soft and warm. She wanted to give in right now, but again, she resisted. Those eyes, those wonderful eyes, she wanted to look at them as long as she could. He swayed to and fro, his body rippling. The snake was charming the human, and the human was fully cooperating.

"You're here with me now,

I'll keep you ssssafe and ssssound..."

He tightened his grip on her again, and continued wrapping her up. She was so cute, but she was going to be even cuter in a few moments. She was slipping just a little, by the way her head dipped, her eyes closing, but she kept bringing her eyes back up to his. They'd done this so many times, he'd forgotten how many times, in the same way he never kept track of how many animals he'd eaten. Oh, well!

"Ssssso, trussssssst in meeee...

Jusssssst in meeeee..."

Carefully, he slipped his tail around that raised part of her body, gently squeezing, making her eyes widen. She got a little more hypnosis from that moment, gasping, but she went back to staring at his eyes. Still carefully, he tightened his grip, and continued coiling her, finally passing by that part of her anatomy. Now he was just below her "shoulders". He squeezed again. His heart pounded in anticipation for what was to come. She, on the other hand, sat straight up. She'd stopped thinking a few moments ago, thankfully, to take in his amazing hypnosis. The coils ascending her body felt like a nice, warm bed, beckoning her into their soft comfort.

His tail reached her shoulders, and began to curl around her neck. However, he didn't tighten his grip on her. Instead, he leaned in, as best a snake could do, so that his eyes were the only thing in hers. "Jussssssst a little more, Emi," he cooed. She followed his instructions, keeping herself awake so that she could enjoy his last little bit of hypnosis. Then, he tightened his tail around her neck, but not so as to choke her. She gulped, eyes bulging and got one final burst of hypnosis before falling completely under his spell.

Turning off the hypnosis, he took a metaphorical step back to admire his handiwork. She was wrapped up in his coils from waist to neck. A silly grin was plastered on her lips. Then, he lifted her off the branch, placed her back on it, and uncoiled her so that she could stand, straight up, and stare ahead at nothing. She had no thoughts in her head, just a blissful emptiness.

"What do you want to do, Emi?" he asked.

"Whatever you command, Kaa," she replied, making him chuckle.

"Were you bored?" he asked.

"Very bored, Kaa," she replied. "Thank you for hypnotizing me."

"You're mossssssst welcome," he said. "Now, let'sssss have sssssome fun!"
