Daichi's Steak house


The buzzing sounds of Cicada's filled the early morning air. Ifrit, the man who had become Daichi's apprentice was resting quietly on a cot at the end of a spacious queen sized bed, with which the White and black raptor was resting, Sleeping off the large meal he'd eaten the other day. Ifrit had been the only student, out of five, that managed to earn the Raptor's respect, and in turn Ifrit actually found himself amazed by the Reptile's ability to consume so much food in one sitting, and still remain fit for combat.

Ifrit watched quietly as that large stomach rose and fell with each breath that his new master took. And carefully and quietly he started climbing onto the bed, standing or rather, LAYING right next to that belly. Examining it from a close up view, he could hear the sounds of the stomach's low gurgling as it finished with what was left of the 'would be' challengers. “They must be nearly all gone at this point...” He whispered quietly, placing one hand over Daichi's stomach.

The belly was relatively smooth, it had gained since last night, a testament to how fattening yesterday's binge had been. It had an unnatural roundness to it, which amazed Ifrit all the more. He lifted his other hand and tried to cup that large dome, only managing to grab a small bit of fat, a sloshing sound from within was the only response from his attempt. But that didn't stop the young student from showing appreciation to his Master's girth. With small circling motions, he proceeded to rub the massive dome laid out in front of him and that's when he realized, Daichi had a belly button!!

“I wonder...” Ifrit whispered to himself, pressing a few fingers into the Raptor's belly button, admiring the warmth found in that small space as he mades small circular motions over Daichi's belly with the other hand.


He continued this for awhile longer then he decided to do the unthinkable. Ifrit leaned forward, slowly but carefully placing his head on that big round dome. He loved the warmth that came from it, all the while knowing just what had been going on in there for the past 24 hours. It certainly wasn't a place he'd want to be in. but a part of him was definitely curious of what it was like. Pulling his hand out of that warm navel, he placed both arms around the great stomach and gave it a few shakes while his head was planted on it. From within he could hear the sloshing sounds of liquid moving about in his stomach, followed by a low gurgle.


He continued to play, and massage his Master's stomach, until something became abundantly clear. When a deep chuckling sound had been made, shaking the dome he was resting on, he slowly lifted his head up to gaze at the raptor's smug, amused expression.



Without another word, Daichi climbed out of bed, positioning himself in such a manner that left his pupil squished between that soft, round belly and the hard wall behind him. Casually wrapping his jacket over his frame. Despite the fact that Ifrit's head was firmly pressed into that soft, blob of flesh, he reached for his sword's scabbard and set it on his body. Then, with a bounce of his belly, pushing against his student in an amusing manner, started pulling up his pants. In the last few seconds, Daichi stepped away and slide his sword into it's casing and yawned wide, giving Ifrit a decent view of that pink, fleshy interior. “Let us grab some early morning chow then get to work. We have a lot of work to do if we're going to shape you into a fine swordsman.”



Ifrit's's cheeks were red. Despite the struggles he made while pinned down, he could not lie to himself and say that he didn't enjoy the feeling of that stomach holding him down. But he wasn't about to tell his teacher that.



After a quick breakfast, which was served to the patrons at the Inn, the pair made their way into a clearing at the back of the building. It was spacious enough that both Raptor and human could go at it without any bystanders getting in the way.



Drawing his short handed sword, Ifrit got into a combat ready stance opposite of his master. He took the sword in hand and came charging into Daichi. Twisting his sword with the flick of the wrist he lunged forward, but was caught in a surprising display of well...ease, as Daichi caught the sharp end of the blade with the guard of his own sword, knocking Ifrit back and pressing him against the inn's brick wall with his stomach.


“You have to move faster if you want to stand up against me. I went easy on you the other day. I'm not holding any punches back so come at me! Don't charge blindly at your opponent, that's the quickest way to end up with a sword in yer gut!” Daichi chastised, pulling away and giving Ifrit a twack with the blunt end of his sword, getting an 'ouch' from his apprentice.



That would bruise, Ifrit was sure of it. But he held his sword in front of himself, and instead of charging upfront, began to circle Daichi ever so slowly. When he was certain he could catch the Raptor on his side he swung to his left, trying to catch the Raptor in the same area he had hit his student.

With a low growl, Daichi lifted up his sword to bare, with a smooth motion he batted the sword aside and knocked the human onto his back. Just as Ifrit was to get back up, he felt a raptor foot press down over his chest, toe claw tapping against him a few times, pricking him once. “You're on the right track, but you're becoming too aggressive. You know nothing of your adversary's fighting style. Never take the offensive when you're unaware.”



They continued on this regiment for a few hours more. Which for the better half, ended with Ifrit either laying on the ground with Daichi's foot pressed into his chest, or the great Raptor would leap on him in a belly flop like position and trap him beneath a couple hundred pounds of soft reptile belly and by the time his ordeal was over, he was grateful that he had even survived the training process. But by the end of the session, he learned more about his master than he did during his initiation. And while he couldn't put a scratch on the great monochrome colored raptor, his teacher praised him for his improvement. “You're becoming a better swordsman,Ifrit. But you need to learn control. Study your rival's movement's and you'll have an easier time working over their defenses.”



After their due training, Daichi led his pupil back into the inn, primarily into the dining room. Several patrons were already sitting at individual tables to enjoy. Once the duo found an available table they ordered a fairly simple lunch but it was to be short lived as a large, dark brown Minotaur stepped into the inn. The bovine wore Black armor with violet colored aura and wielded an unruly Ax in his right hand. “Are there any warriors here worthy to challenge me in combat?!”



Daichi lifted his tea mug and took a sip. Once he finished off the warm liquid, he slowly pulled himself up from his seat. “I'll accept your challenge if you stop making a ruckus. Some people here are trying to enjoy their meals.”



The remark left the bull billowing smoke from his nostrils with animated flare, but the two large warriors stepped out of the inn and into the clearing that Daichi had been training Ifrit in not but 10 minutes ago. The tavern had a low lit room so it was difficult to make out the bull's features, but here in the sun, Daichi could tell that the Bovine had a great deal of mass to back him up. He was at least twice as large as Daichi, a testament to his appetite to be sure, or maybe natural growth. Though he wore glowing white armor, Daichi could tell judging from the build of each piece that he had a great deal of muscle to back up his challenge. “You're Cenric. The bull that's been terrorizing town after town in search for worthy foes, once won, you ransack the town and leave them pillaged.”



Lifting up his great Ax, he placed spread his legs apart as he got into a fighting position. “And here I thought I never left witnesses. Well come on little lizard, let's play.”



Ifrit stood on the sidelines, as did a few other patrons of the inn. Upon hearing Cenric's name, a few of them began ranting about how they'd all be dead by the end of the day, but Ifrit wasn't entirely certain of that. “You all just hush. I've seen Master Daichi take on 5 swordsman at once, he can handle this.” Granted what he DIDN'T tell them, was that they were all undisciplined, and now a part of the bulk that made up Daichi's belly.



Both eyes were locked on each other, then with a start, Cenric charged head on. Daichi thought the bulky bull was making the same mistakes Ifrit had done previously, but he came to realize that this Bovine, was surprisingly quick, he made the distance between them in just three large strides and in such speed, that Daichi had JUST enough time to step to the side, swinging his Sword in retaliation but looks in disappointment when Cenric bats it away with his ax.


For a time, Daichi was able to repel the large Bull's strikes. Neither could gain ground on the other and that's when he realized...Cenric was actually pretty tough. But of course he'd have to be to destroy the towns he had, but he wasn't going to let that happen here. The situation grew all the more severe when Cenric made a swinging motion which missed the raptor's snout only by a hair, but that wasn't the worse of it. The cut remained in the air, slowly opening into what looked do be a portal in which, Cenric simply ran right into.



Taking two steps back, Daichi didn't know what to make of the sudden change in tactics. First the bull was coming at him head on, but then he vanished. “Strange magic...” But his self reflection was short lived when the idea hit him. He rolled over to the side as Cenric reappeared! His Ax flying where the Raptor's head had been only moments before, but he was unable to evade the punch that came in but a second later, knocking him in the gut and sending Daichi staggering back.


Just as the raptor was able to regain his bearings, he started clearing his mind, narrowly avoiding the next coming attacks as they always either came from behind, or to his side where he'd be slower to retaliate. “Well...this is turning out to be more than just a simple game. I can see why you're so lethal. But then so am I.”


Releasing the tension in his body, Daichi alternated the hand in which he carried his sword. It would do no good if he worried himself to death, and frustration would lead to careless mistakes, and it would eventually mean his downfall. He took half a dozen deep breaths, before side stepping to his right as another portal formed where he had once stood, and Sword thief opened it's mouth to release a gooey tongue like substance that wrapped around Cenric's Ax, and removing the faint glow that surrounded it's frame before swallowing what had been enchanting the weapon, leaving it now a dull black that lost it's shine. “Alright, now without any of your tricks.”



Cenric looked over at his Ax, gave it a few testing swings, then grinned. “So you say.” with a huff, the bull charged forward, then with a surprising twist, slashed another portal in the air. For a moment, Daichi looked dumbfounded. That shouldn't have happened, but with a quick ducking motion he managed to avoid the ax decapitating him. But a few of the spikes on his head were broken off from the tip of the blade.



“You shouldn't have been able to do that.”



Laughing at Daichi's incredulous look, and gave his chest plate a few taps. “I'm aware of your Sword Thief. But the enchantment is on both my armor AND my Ax. You can't break the spell unless you're able to snag both. Otherwise they'll just replenish the other.”



The thought never occurred to Daichi, but now as he thought about it, he now understood WHY both weapon and armor were glowing the same eerie purple. A wide grin spread across his face as he got back up to full height and gave his sword arm a quick sweeping motion. The Raptor's eyes narrowed in anticipation. Watching as the Bull vanished into yet another portal.


Daichi took a couple steps around his general area. So far the bull was doing nothing but attacking his sides, ambushing him in the back when it suited him and even going for quick attacks that would sooner or later, lop off the raptor's head!



As soon as Daichi felt the subtle ripple of the portal opening again, he jumped to the side, watching the Bull charge just past him. But instead of simply letting the burly bull crash into the wall, Sword thief opened it's jaws once again. A green goo like substance shot from the sword's 'maw' transforming into a strange sack of sorts and stuffed the bull right into it. Closing him off from the rest of the world. From there, Cenric started kicking his hooves about, trying to break free while Sword thief, made many different slurping sounds. The pommel of the blade beginning to glow with energy until it spat out the raging bull. Both his Ax, and Armor's glow slowly diminished. Their jet black appearance now a dull, unpolished silver coloration.


Cenric growled, swinging his ax, but was stunned to discover that this time, nothing happened! He swung the weapon a few more times, but to no avail. “What did-”


Daichi stepped forward casually. The Bull gave a few angry swings in his direction, but Daichi simply stepped over from one side to the other. The Ax missing by mere inches and with every swing, his aim was growing steadily worse until Daichi clenched one fist and thrust it into Cenric's gut, shattering the armor in that spot and forcing a cough out of the bovine. “My sword has a pretty ravenous appetite! I'd like to thank you for sating it, but now you're going to sate mine!”


After one more cough, Cenric hefted his Ax one last time, only for Daichi to break it apart with his own blade, and in that one motion, slowly opened his mouth wide, taking in the bull's head slowly, and hungrily. Savoring him as if one would a burger. The truth was...The meager lunch that the inn had been serving wasn't enough to fill up his belly, and he was glad that the Bovine challenged him as quickly as he did.


Cenric was thrashing about, his protests being muffled by the thick flesh surrounding Daichi's form. The bulge his face made in the raptor's face was pretty detailed. Rather than fear in his eyes there was more rage, as he struggled to make his way out. Though this of course was fruitless. It only served to satisfy the reptilian predator who began working his jaws down over that expansive chest.
He didn't bother to remove the armor from his prey, his stomach could digest just about anything, and at the very least he'd spare the bovine of a nude devourment.

Ifrit watched with a look of awe, but he shook himself of his trance when he noted the looks of fear from the inn's patrons. “Don't worry you guys. He won't eat you guys. You've done nothing to him.”


The moment that Ifrit looked away was slight, but already, Cenric's chest had dissapeared, becoming but a massive bulge within Daichi's gullet, as he worked in that armored stomach. Given now most of his meal was armored, he wouldn't get a whole lot of flavor, but at this point he was more about punishing the bull than any sort of self enjoyment.


That wasn't to say he wasn't enjoying the whole situation. Since the action began, Cenric was overconfident and cocky. He gave away all of his secrets too early and now he was paying the price. It was a close battle, but as the armored belly started stretching around his jaws, he started swallowing again. Feeling the armor creak and bend from the pressure of his gullet but paying it no mind. The discomfort would affect his prey, not himself.



And indeed, it was an uncomfortable experience for the bull. As the damage around his chest plate began to cave in, he could feel his armor crumbling. What little protection it could offer him now was fading fast, and only served to make him feel like he were wrapped in a metallic shell. How the raptor would process such things was beyond him. And as his legs slowly began crawling into those hungry, salivating jaws he started to panic.



Reaching forward, Daichi placed a hand on either of the Bulls muscular legs, and gave them a firm shove inward. The only noise at the inn at this moment were the sounds of the Raptor's hungry swallows. GULP. GUULP! SLURP! ULP! This went on for a few moments longer, until the bull's feet disappeared within Daichi's hungry jaws. Slurping the bull's tail in, like it was a long, fluffy noodle which signified the last remnants of the bovine, as the massive, bulking form descended and distended his belly.


There was a great belch a second later, eminating from the great raptor who'se stomach now sagged with it's new occupant. Despite the bull's size, with some effort, Daichi began to flex his stomach muscles, compacting the chamber within to the best of his abilities and tightening his hold over his newest prey. “Ooogh you're a big one! But I'm glad there was a crowd to watch you go down.” With a grin, Daichi started picking his teeth and walking back into the inn.



The crowd of people, started herding around Daichi. Following him like a bunch of sheep until Ifrit coughed a few times. “Alright everyone back to your meals!” He cried out, unsheathing his blade in warning and that was that. The crowd began to disperse, going about their buisiness as usual while Daichi walked upstairs.

Each step the stuffed Raptor made the staircase creak in defiance to the weight being set upon them.

As he entered the room they had rented, with exaggerated care, Daichi laid back down in bed. He let his muscles relax when he was alone with Ifrit, and allowed the bulging form of Cenric shape his gut. “URRRP! Heh...well this belly's not gonna rub itself.” He winked.


Ifrit didn't need to be told twice. He set his weapon by the bed stand and climbed up onto the mattress. Working on caressing his sensei's squirming belly. Ifrit traced the bulls form around the stomach with his fingers. He could feel clearly where the horns lay, but they could not hurt the raptor, nor did he think they could cause his master much discomfort.


“Well you enjoyed worshipping my gut this morning, how would you like to sleep against it while that bovine digests inside of it.” Daichi suggested, reclining and just relaxing as he took in a few breaths. “Such a heavy meal...”


Ifrit just smiled, laying back and resting his head on that bulging gut, feeling it wobble beneath him. From so close up, he could have sword he heard the bull shouting profanities. No doubt he was having an unpleasant experience right now within the reptilian stomach. Though whatever the bull was shouting was unfortunately, being drowned out by the thick gurgling and glorping sounds inside of Daichi's belly. The wet, gurgling sounds were enough however, to slowly put the human to sleep, who's head pressed into the bulls, eliciting an aggravated roaring sound from within.


Unknowing to Ifrit, almost a full day and a half passed since they last slept. When Ifrit woke up, he was laying alone, his Master had taken off without even waking him. Pulling off the blankets that Daichi had wrapped over his student, Ifrit found a note laying by the bed stand alongside his sword. Ifrit, I left to prepare the Dojo for more extensive training. Meet me there and make sure to tip the innkeeper.



The last sentence made a vein pop up on Ifrit's forehead. “He left me to pay our bill...isn't that just nice.” He grumbled, but quickly grabbed his things and did as Daichi told in the letter. Thankfully the inn keeper was more than happy to waive most of the charges, considering it thanks for getting rid of Cenric who had caused the whole debacle, but Ifrit still paid what was due.


Crossing the bridge to the location of the dojo, Ifrit just continued to mumble to himself, mostly about how Daichi could just up an vanish, and how he managed to sleep off an entire day's worth of training! He'd give his master a talking too but when he put a hand on the sliding door of the dojo, he stopped midway, hearing what sounded like garbled shouting and a laugh that was unmistakably Daichi's.



“Now now! Calm down you or else!” Daichi was looking down at his gut, which had Cenric's bovine form stretching it out as if to escape the inescapable chamber. But then with a few flexes, the bulges started smoothing out and returning the reptile's stomach to it's bouncing smooth roundness that he was known for. With a blink, he quickly caught sight of Ifrit standing square in the dojo's front entrance. “Looks like you finally woke up! Here...you can watch.”


With a grumble, Daichi summoned Cenric's face, which bulged out of his stomach with a groan. The stomach bounced and swayed with the movement, until Daichi shoved the shape back down into his stomach. “Alright you. Tell me why you came here!”


Cenric's bulge reappeared, shaping out with a look of anger and irritation as a hand pressed outward. “NO!” The shape cried out, initially resisting his captor's demands, but with a squishing sound, he dissapeared right back into that stomach. BUUUUUUAAAAAARP!



Sighing then, Daichi pulled the bull's form back out, shaping out his stomach nicely with his form. “I can do this all day Cenric. It'll be so much easier on you if you just cooperate!” The raptor grabbed hold of the face imprints on his stomach, pulled it out some, his body acting like elastic rubber before snapping back into it's usual round self. The stomach wobbling some and sloshing with it's contents.



“Alright alright!!” He cried out when next Daichi summoned him. In a lower tone he started recounting the events that led to his being devoured. “There was a mage...he summoned me using some strange magic. One moment I was enjoying my life in solitude and training, the next...I was called to this strange building in the middle of a lake to the east! The mage commanded me to attack each village and that's all I know!”


Huffing, Daichi patted Cenric's bulge and smiled. “Now see? Wasn't that easy?” Lifting his tail out some, he gave the bulges a firm shove and his belly squished back into it's original shape, groaning and sloshing in a mesmerizing motion.



Ifrit just remained standing in place. He looked dumbstruck when Cenric's head bulged out of Daichi's gut, a handclaw even making itself visable as if to reach out to the human. “Master...he hasn't digested yet?”



The question made Daichi grin, giving the horned bulge a few taps, enraging the bull inside whose head started shaking in place and roared. BEEEELCH! Daichi loosed a great burp and sighed. “On the contrary! He's very much gone! But when I woke up I found out the guy had merged to my stomach! I can make him bulge out, or make him outright disappear!”


With a groan, Daichi pulled himself off the floor and started swinging his sword, training against a set of swinging logs. At one point, Cenric's bulges reappeared in the middle of the brief training session. The odd thing about the whole thing was, despite the bull's constant bulging, Daichi's stomach remained normal size! With another belch, Daichi split one incoming log in half with his sword and sighed. Cenric bulged outward, stretching that belly as if it was rubber then SNAP it just fit back into shape. “According to our friend here, he was ordered to cause those attacks. “I don't know all the details, least not YET. But right now Cenric is just pure energy, bound to my body. I think it's sword thief's doing but I'm not complaining.



Again, Cenric came out again. Thrusting Daichi's belly forward as the whole of his body made itself visable, as if he were about to finally escape from the folds of Cenric's belly! Then SNAAAP once again, the bull's body was pulled back into that stomach, fading into the perfectly round belly and causing it to slosh around in the process. With a laugh, Daichi belched thickly and gave his gut a firm slap.



With a sigh, the Raptor just stared down at his stomach. “Right now, he's got no choice but to follow my orders. He's bound to tell me the truth despite his desire to escape me. Our next order of buisiness will be to find the one who gave him the orders to pillage those villages.”



Ifrit could only nod, but stared down at Daichi's stomach as Cenric's face bulged out once more. But this time the raptor lifted his thick tail and pushes it back in, hearing a satisfying squishing sound in the process. With a big grin, the Raptor licked his lips and with a boing the bull's face reappeared. “Alright how about you push him in this time. I can promise you it really is fun.”



The human didn't need to be told twice! He walked over, placing a hand on either of the bull's horned bulges, and much to Cenric's displeasure, gave a firm push, pressing the bull's horns inward so they were the first to dissapear, smoothing the belly out, one inch at a time! The bull roared out his humiliation as his horns were made to vanish within that sloshing prison. With those pointed pieces gone, Ifrit gave a great shove with which his own hands vanished momentarily inside of that squishy beer belly. A great belch sounded from Daichi's maw not a second later, knocking Ifrit back who wrinkled his nose a bit. “Heh sorry...but damn was he tasty.” Daichi remarked.


With a look of awe on Ifrit's face, he started rubbing the surface of the raptor's stomach. Squishing his hands into it slightly if only to hear that belly groan and slosh in his presence. “So master...meal time again?”



“Of course!” Daichi chuckled softly as they make their way to the closest resturant. The Raptor started teasing the poor human by playing with his navel some with a claw. As soon as they got to their seats, Daichi's stomach knocked the table over somewhat, and with a nervous chuckle, noted the other patrons looks of concern and awe. “Uhm...heh heh...mind tipping the waiter for this little mishap?” He asked Ifrit, who grumbled incoherently and snickered as the bull's horns reappeared for a brief moment, followed by one last belch that echoed across the restaurant's interior.


(End)
