----------------

It was something that she should've been able to avoid. Kasumi had the heightened senses of a fox; of course being a kitsune. Truth was that she had recently been resurrected after a battle with an unknown foe. As such, her senses were dull and her movements were sluggish. As such, she could not avoid the danger that came after her.

Kasumi stopped by a river to drink some water. Of course, she had been watched, by a massive snake. Hiding under water, this black-scaled serpent silently moved its massive body until it was ready to strike.

Before Kasumi could react, the snake had coiled her and was squeezing her down to weaken her. She did not have the strength of a jungle goddess and having been resurrected, her movements and ability to fight back were limited. Coiling her, it had pinned her arms in the process.

"Nnngh….vile serpent..." Kasumi grunted as she tried to escape. The only hope was her magic, but even then, she needed an opportunity to concentrate on her power, which was something that both her weakened state and the snake would not let her.

---------------

First part of what is planned to be a six-part sequence, and the first introduction to peril for Kasumi. Will Kasumi be able to escape, or will the snake have a meal; forcing Kasumi to die again.

You will need to wait and see.

Claire: Hmph.  Lucky snake.

Me: Agreed.  She looks good in a bind.

Claire: She'd look even better in my-

Orina: Claire, honey... you need to accept that you can't squeeze on all beautiful women all the time.

Kasumi: Gee, nice to see that I look nice being coiled by a hungry predator...

Me: Well, Orina did say you were beautiful.

Kasumi: Yeah, I know I am. But currently, I have to deal with snake, while weakened after coming back to life, and everyone is just standing there. Seriously, some people are just sadists.

Orina: If I said I have faith in your ability to get free, and that's why I'm not helping, would you believe me?

Claire: I'm not a sadist, I'm just... appreciative of beauty when I see it.

Orina: Honey, at least I genuinely mean what I say.  And I do believe, Kasumi, that you can do this without help.  You don't exactly strike me as the 'completely helpless' sort, else I'd have blasted the snake's head off with a spellbomb by now.

Claire: ...Barbaric.

Orina: So says the scantily clad lamia who relies on holding her 'captives' with her own body.

Me: ...And these two are friends, don't forget.

Kasumi: To be fair, it's not unheard for friends to have this kind of bickering.

True, I just don't want you to think they actually dislike each other.

Very nice, but she seems to have a plan in spite of the.... binding set-back.

She does, it's just getting the opportunity to use her magic.

Raaz: "Hmph, and not even bothering to converse with the lovely Kitsune? Barbaric."

Me: This coming from a lord of serpents who has bountiful females for his court?

Raaz: "I also know a thing about standards. I don't mind if a snake has to eat, but I simply prefer to show myself off as not some mindless glutton."

Me: You are in no position to talk about gluttony when prey comes to you.
