Dealing with a Demon

Maru experienced the sensation of falling, plummeting towards the ground far beneath him as wind and air whipped up past him, but there was no way for him to know if that was true or not thanks to everything around him being completely pitch black. He was actually a little afraid right now. Given he was inside Naruko right now, would anyone even realise he was dead if he hit the ground and went splat? Or was it just normal for him to vanish inside women and never be seen again?

But soon enough he began to catch sight of something far below him, something he was falling towards. It was dull, dark brown or reddish, and there was a streak of blue there as well, all of which was growing larger and more distinct as he hurtled down towards it. At the speed he was going right now, it was hitting the ground would defintly leave him a pizza on the pebbles. Or it would if this was the real world, he had to remind himself. Right now he was inside the Seal. Right now he was in a place that was closer to being metaphysical. Rules and laws like gravity and time were entirely optional within here, depending on the whims and capabilities of whoever it was that had crafted the seal in the first place.

Apparently it had been someone who had expected a visitor or two, because the moment he was about to flatten into paste, he felt himself slow, like he had been caught in a bubble that was now gently lowering him the rest of the way down to the ground, letting him hold out one leg ahead of time and step down onto the ground smoothly.

He looked around. The place looked like a sewer, or perhaps a really run down and flooded boiler room. Beneath his feet was a slurry of water, though it seemed just a little bit too blue to truly fit that description, while above him there was now a ceiling that he had apparently somehow fallen through. The ceiling was lined with a horde of pipes, constantly crisscrossing and moving in and out of each other like some sort of snakish orgy of metal. But they were cracked in several places, the water he was standing in quite obviously the result of spillage from those pipes.

He turned around once, taking in everything. That really was pretty much it. Just one big corridor. He could go forwards or go back. Going forwards sounded better in his head, so he headed that way. He was walking for a while. He had no clue how long. Maybe it didn't matter.

But eventually he finally found something that was different. He found a gate. It was huge, reaching from the floor and vanishing into the darkness of the ceiling. Each bar was wide enough for a human to easily pass between, but then again, it wasn't a human that they were made to contain. So this was where the Kyuubi was held? He walked closer, inspecting the bars, that were a burnished brassy colour, not quite golden. His hand reached out to touch against one, and found it warm. Not hot, but warm, like something hot had been close to it recently and it was still in the process of cooling down.

He heard something shift behind him.

He dived forwards, trying to pass between the bars, and was just quick enough to get between them for a set of jaws snapped shut right where he would have been a moment before. A crimson slitted eye gazed at him balefully, filled with hatred and loathing. "Human trash. You would have been the first meal I've had since I was trapped in this forsaken place."

"I'd probably be a disappointing meal. Too much muscle and not enough meat." He joked, trying to distract himself from the shining razor sharp fangs that had almost just snapped him in half like a toothpick.

"Then you would have been a hors d'oeuvre for the greater feast yet to come when I break free from here and feast on the lives of every filthy human who thought they could imprison the greatest of the Biju." The muzzle shifted so that now he was being glared at by both eyes. That Kyuubi's voice was deep, dark and booming, exactly as he had expected from the being that was potentially the most powerful creature in all the elemental nations. It sent a shiver up his spine. "It has been so long since I last crushed bones between my teeth and suckled marrow from within."

"Well if you are trying to intimidate me, I can only give you my congratulations on a job well done, but how about we talk more civilly now? It must have been just as long since you got to talk with anyone. Maybe longer." He quickly ran his eyes over the gate, making sure that there was absolutely no way that the Kyuubi could get to him now he was on this side. He was a little perturbed that instead of a lock there only seemed to be a small slip of paper holding the doors shut, but at least it was better than nothing.

"And what would a human know of such things? Why should I wish to converse with an ant before I crush it?"

"Because enough ants working together can kill a lion. And you're just a fox."

"Just a fox? I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune! I am the strongest, I am the greatest, I am the best of the Biju." One clawed hand poked towards the bars, the claw passing between the gaps and stopping just short of impaling through him. "And you are just an ignorant male. You cannot even use Chakra. I could destroy ten million of you by sneezing in my sleep." The claw poked forwards just a little more and he shivered as it ran down his cheek, catching just a moment and leaving a tiny pinprick that immediately began to well with blood.

His dick twitched. The power. The beauty. His hand came up to his cheek and clasped around the claw, holding it in place as he nuzzled against it, feeling the deadly mandible against his face. It was perfectly maintained, though with the rumours that the Biju were truly immortal beings, perhaps they didn't need to worry about things like aging and maintaining themselves? The Demon seemed surprised at his actions, the snarl dropping from its lips to be replaced with confusion, and a hint of disgust. "Brilliant." He breathed out. "You are everything I hoped you would be."

"What are you Human?" The Kyuubi asked, not pulling back its claw, but seeming to genuinely be interested in him now beyond just its desire to kill.

"No one really important. I just have the proper appreciation for powerful people. And there is no one I know of more powerful than you."

The Biju didn't blush. It was above that, and more than sure enough in its own superiority that the words of one puny human meant nothing to it. But slowly it drew its legs underneath itself, now in a squat rather than the animalistic all fours it had been in before. Now that it wasn't playing the beast, it almost looked more humanoid now, and his eyes strayed to inspect it up and down.

"You're beautiful." He said unbidden now that he was seeing her, for she truly was a her, in full. "Though I didn't know you were a woman."

"Of course. Chakra is a power only for female kind, and I am Chakra. I am power incarnate. Why would I not bear the gender of power itself?" She finally retrieved her claw from him, and he was sorry to have it dragged away. He almost stepped right through the bars again after it, but then saw the way her eyes gleamed as he moved forwards and decided to hold back. "Fine Human. If you wish to speak civilly let us. But first a deal. I shall answer a question of yours, but in turn you shall answer a question of mine. I shall grant to you truth, but if you do not do the same, I shall consume you whole."

"Perfectly acceptable." He said happily. "My first question then. Wouldn't it be perfectly normal for you to let me come in there with you and not harm me in any way, no matter what I do?"

She blinked at him a few times, obviously perplexed at why he would waste a question just asking a question he already knew the answer to? "Yes. That is normal." She replied slowly, trying to work out of there was some sort of trap she was walking into, but nothing sprang to mind. She growled at the smile on his face even as he skipped forwards like a little school girl and pranced through the gaps in the bars to come and stand in front of her. "My question Human. Why are you here? What do you want from me?"

"I just wanted to come and see you. Meet you maybe If I could. I didn't really have anything more in mind than that. As far as I am concerned, this has turned out brilliantly." He was straining his neck to look up at her right now. She was truly humongous, his entire body not even the size of one of her fingers. Her breasts were the size of buildings. "My turn again. Hmm." He thought for a few seconds. What else to do? "Alright. Wouldn't it be normal for you to lay down while we're talking? So we can see eye to eye better."

Again he wasted his question on some trivial non-answer. Was he really trying to play games with the greatest of the Biju? "Indeed." She said even as she transitioned to be laying down on her front, her breasts pressing against the ground beneath her body, and her elbows coming to prop up her forearms as she rested her chin in her hands and looked down at the insignificant speck of a man who was currently occupying her attention. He was acting like such a child. The moment she had laid down he had practically sprinted for her breasts, hugging his entire body against one and feeling how perky and soft it was.

Seeing that he wasn't about to let go any time soon, she reached underneath herself with one hand and with **** precision lifted him up between two claws, making sure not to harm a hair on his head as she lifted his entire body up and let him hang in front of her face. "It is my question now. What relation do you have with my current host?"

"We met today, not long ago. I'm going to help her learn how to use your power." That brought a smile to her face, and moments later had a growled laugh rising in the back of her throat.

"Ahahahaha. And what would a male know about Chakra? What would you know about using my power? You are as arrogant as your are pitiful."

"Ah ah ah." He tutted at her, wagging one finger while grinning. "One question at a time remember. My turn. Isn't it normal for all Biju to have some sort of task or challenge for their Jinchuuriki, and if they pass you will let them use your power?"

This time Kyuubi let out a low growl, like a chorus of thunderstorms cracking at once. "How do you know that? That is our greatest secret. None would ever share that!"

"That's your question!" He called out, and she growled again, snapping her jaw at him even as he wagged one finger at her. "And to answer it, I didn't know at all until you just told me."

Her jaw opened wide and her claws brought him inside. All it would take would be for her to drop him and she could have him sliding down her gullet before he could do or say anything to stop it. He hung there for several moments, but he wasn't worried. He had complete faith that this would turn out well for him. And he was right. Eventually she withdrew her hand and laid him down in the palm of her hand, bringing him up to eye level with her. "Well played Human." She said at last. "Ask your next question then. I will not underestimate your cunning again."
