It was a gorgeous day on the dry plains; the sun was heading towards the horizon, turning the sky a gentle orange as the light refracted through the cloud-free atmosphere and casting lengthy shadows across the plains. It was as beautiful a day as young Aku had seen in his life. Then again, most days ended this beautifully when the skies were as clear as they were.

Aku had enjoyed a rather busy day, and now he was resting. Early that morning he'd woken to the sound of a pride of lions ambushing a herd of gazelles. They'd caught more than one meal, but like all lions they left some scraps for the scavengers, hyenas included. Aku had to wait for the lions to be finished with their meal, because any attempt to get fresh meat would be met with his inevitable end. He didn't care to risk his life over meat that was a few hours fresher, instead he'd wait and enjoy a feast.

So he did. Many hours passed and once the lions had dispersed, Aku and a few other hyenas all descended upon the flesh, sharing it with the vultures and various insects that were native to that area. He ate his fill and by the time his feast had finished, the sun was setting and he was ready to sleep while his food digested.

There was a small oasis nearby that he often called home. There was plenty of water there, green vegetation, and many flowers and blossoms to hide in, should he need an escape from larger, more dominant predators. It was a wonderful place for him to sleep off a meal.

Aku trotted over to the line that separated the yellow grass and green ferns, nervously looking around to make sure no lions saw him disappear into the foliage. In he trotted, hopping over a fallen, mossy log and over a small pile of rocks. He wove in and out of the trees, doing his best to not ruffle the leaves that brushed along his spotted fur.

After a short while of trekking through the greenery, Aku emerged into a gorgeous grove punctuated by a rather large, still lake. There were large tropical trees lining around the opposite side, and aquatic plants poking out of the water on his side. He considered drinking, but he felt quite satisfied and chose not to at this time. He looked around, deciding where he'd lay for only a moment before seeing a massive, vine covered boulder around the northern side of the lake. He could rest upon that!

Aku stepped daintily down to the lake shore, what appeared to be the only path to the boulder he was planning on claiming as his own. He continued to glance around to make sure there were no gators in the water or leopards in the trees. His eyes were by no means the greatest, but he could spot a predator if need be.

Once beside it, he noticed the boulder was surrounded by smaller, well-stacked rocks that acted almost like a staircase to the top. How convenient! He thought to himself, grinning abashedly at his good fortune.

Pleased as could be, Aku hopped up to thetop of the boulder, feeling like a king of the grove. He stood proud and surveyed all he could see. Not a single leaf, branch, or fern stirred. It was clear no others were sharing the clearing with him. He was content, so he circled a few times on the rock and laid down, resting his head on his forepaws, aiming his gaze at the lake. He wanted to keep an eye open for disturbances.

As the sun continued to set, the sky faded from a gentle orange to an ominous dark violet. It was twilight, and before long Aku's eyes had fallen, rendering him a heaving, snoring mass of sleepy hyena.

Had he taken more time to survey the area, he'd have realized he wasn't alone.

Across the lake, where the shore was lined by trees, a massive jungle green, red, and dark blue mass of scales shifted underneath the water's surface.

The surface of the lake rippled in a v-pattern as the scaled beast swam forward, poking her head just above the surface to breathe as she inched her way towards the massive pile of boulders that the small hyena was peacefully resting.

The cresting of water made only the faintest sloshing sound as the waves hit the edge of the lake, but the sound was drowned out by the slowly intensifying buzz of the insects that came out at night in this oasis.

She rested her massive snake head against the lowest rock in the pile, flicking her tongue out and staring at the faint figure of Aku. She kept her entire body under the water to ensure that even if he did wake up his eyes couldn't penetrate the rippling surface of the lake, the reflections of the emergins stars and moon would easily mask her red, blue, and green patterned body. The massive snake could barely see around the curvature of the boulder, but her tongue told her all she needed to know about his position and state. He was directly in front of her, and he was fast asleep. Her sensitive tongue could easily track his breathing and bloodflow, both of which had slowed to a crawl.

The snake slowly inched herself forward, her two arms emerging from the water with grace, exposing herself to be a naga. Slowly, inch by inch, she crept up the side of the boulder. Her muscles contracted and her body shifted back and forth, catching on every nook and cranny in the boulder as well as the tangled vines to help gently and silently push her upper body up the side of the rock. She reached out with her hands to help give her leverage and traction.

As her head emerged over the side of the boulder, she found herself looking directly at her target, who was still entirely oblivious to her presence. She flicked her thick, forked tongue out, tasting the air around him. She could practically taste him already, and she was almost a meter away from him. Snake tongues were a thing of beauty.

With her upper body and neck were exposed, but most of her body was still submerged, coiled up at the base of the boulder, tensed up and ready to pounce should the situation call for it.

She took one last taste of the air before slowly opening her mouth, exposing her moist, fleshy maw that was filled with lines of tiny teeth, all curved backwards to ensure that once she bit down, no prey could escape. As she inched forward, she opened wider, the strands of saliva trailing from top jaw to bottom...

Just then Aku's one eye opened up, catching a glimpse of the shadow of the naga that was descending upon him! Without pausing or hesitating, every muscle jolted awake and a burst of adrenaline surged through his body as he sprung up, terrified. He lept off the rock as far as he could!

But the naga was prepared for this, her coiled body a compressed spring, ready to launch. She burst forward out of the water and over the rock, hurling her body open-mouth first at the fleeing hyena. She felt his leg press against the inside of her mouth, so she snapped shut like a bear trap, slamming him down on the ground.

Fraught with panic, Aku kicked at the naga's massive mouth, but he couldn't budge her teeth from his leg, all he could do was press her scales back to expose her rows of teeth.

She knew she had her dinner trapped, so she slowly pushed the rest of her body over the rock and into the small clearing of ferns where her meal was still futilely clawing at the dirt, trying to get away. He was yelping and on the verge of tears, just the way she liked it.

Once her body was entirely out of the water, coiled in a neat ball, she used her arms to lift her upper body up, then she continued to pull up with the rest of her body, lifting the hapless 'yena off the ground, dangling him by his foot.

"No!" the hyena yipped. "Don't eat me! I can...I can trade you my life for enough meals to last you for a week!"

The naga stopped and angled her head so she could look down at the hyena. "Explain." she said.

Aku paused and took in a deep breath, trying not to think about the pain of his leg trapped between the rows of needle sharp teeth. "I can...I can trick gazelles into the grove here, I can chase them into the lake! You can have ten times as many meals as little old me!"

The naga let out a hiss, not saying a word.

"Please! I'm much more valuable to you as a partner! I'm not a meal!" he begged, still idly kicking at the naga's massive mouth. Her head alone was almost as big as his body, he knew he'd be little more than a snack for this massive creature.

She still didn't say a word, she only loosened her mouth a little, letting Aku slip out a bit before clamping down again, coercing a pained whimper from him. "No." she said simply. She lifted him up high as he struggled, grasping for any foothold he could get to escape, but she was holding her body away from him so that he couldn't claw at her.

"No no no no!" he cried, flailing around wildly. "Leave me alone!"

She paid him no mind, she just sucked back on his leg, pushing her jaw forward an inch to envelop a bit more of him. Her saliva was dripping down his leg fur and gumming it up, frightening him more.

Aku hated snakes, he didn't even like the small ones he could eat, let alone massive ones with heads as big as his body; and to think, this would be the end of him. He tried looking up to see if she was glancing down at him, but as he curled his body up to look, he got a massive gob of slimy naga saliva in his face. "Gah!" he gasped, clawing at the glob that had adhered to his fur. While he was clawing and gasping for air, a bit of the saliva trickled into his mouth and down his throat. He found it oddly pleasant tasting and didn't make him cough. How odd!

The naga continued to suck on his leg, wiggling her jaws back and forth to pull him in. It wasn't long before his entire leg was enveloped in slick snake flesh and punctured by row after row of tiny, needle-sharp teeth keeping him from moving. Every time he tried to move, the teeth dug in further, yet he wasn't bleeding. He could feel the punture wounds on his leg, but he wasn't bleeding.

"Let me GO!" he screamed as he kicked at her mouth, trying to release her grasp of his trapped leg, but her mouth was like a beartrap and wouldn't let go.

Suddenly, the naga whipped her head around and twisted to the side, opening her mouth to catch Aku's other leg, snagging it in the other rows of teeth and clamping down on it. He howled out in despair as he realized what had happened.

The naga shifted her whole body to rest Aku's body on hers. She knew he had basically given up at this point, so she wasn't worried about him clawing up her beautiful scales.

With the naga coiled up tightly, her upper body arched up and dangling the young Hyena's body on her coils, she reached down with her hands and wrapped them around his neck, pulling him upwards as she walked her mouth over him.

Inch by inch the hyena slid down the naga's gullet. He could feel every single strand of fur gumming up and rubbing agaisnt her flesh. The teeth were clamping down on him. He wanted to fight, but every time he wriggled, he just felt the massive, fleshy jaws clamp down on him.

The naga continued to suck him back into her throat, walking her jaws forward over his body so that only his forepaws and head were still sticking out of her rounded, scaled mouth.

Aku felt his legs become free of the naga's teeth as they emerged into her fleshy throat. Sensing an opportunity to take her by surprise, Aku began to flail wildly at the back of her throat, pushing with all his might with his claws out, hoping to startle her and maybe spit him out.

He did startle her, but rather than feeling the mouth open and the throat tense up, forcing him to freedom, the naga let go of his neck while throwing her head back. She gaped open her jaws and loosened her throat muscles, letting gravity force the hyena to slide down her soft throat. He struggled, but any contact with her teeth only helped force him down farther, even attempting to reach for the crook of her maw was no use since it was so covered with saliva and his claws just kept slipping.

The more he struggled, the deeper he went, and it wasn't long before he'd slid down far enough that only his face and arms were still trapped by her teeth; the rest of him was tightly encased in her throat, her flesh pressing down on him from all sides. He still tried pushing out and struggling, but it was weak, hardly violent or vigorous.

Sensing he'd calmed down, the naga closed her mouth as best she could, the hyena in her mouth keeping her maw open just a little. The pressure of her mouth pushed Aku in deeper, the saliva and gravity helping to ease his way into her belly.

His feet couldn't get ahold of anything, it was just more empty space below him and the pulsing tube of constricting pink flesh around him, so as soon as his last vestiges cleared the teeth, he felt himself slipping uncontrollably down the naga's throat. He looked up at the round opening of flesh above him as it closed, the last beams of light disappearing.

He could feel the peristalsis of the throat muscles pushing him down, and all he could hear was the gurgling of the stomach below him. His body was sliding effortlessly now, and even his already futile struggles were getting weaker and weaker. AS he slid down, he felt the flesh that was enveloping him get softer and softer until his feet reached a tight clench. A few waves of muscle peristalsis later and he felt that tight hole loosen up, letting him pop through into her belly where he would stay.

The naga felt every inch of the hyena slide down her gullet. She entertained herself by using her hands to feel every foot and hand that pressed itself out from within, stretching her scales outward. She had enjoyed meals like this quite often, and when she was done with them, well....

After calming down and geeling the gurgling in her belly subside, she slithered back into the lake, disappearing under the shimmering, moonlit surface into the abyss.
