The gang were on their adventure for a book with magical properties until they spot a village full of kitsunes that they believed didn't allow humans. But a plan was made once Vivi found something very interesting which includes a hiding spot and a kitsune with an experience of big bellies.
This is based on Mystery's POV
Mystery, Vivi, Arthur, Lewis, and Galahad (as hamster) from Mystery Skulls Animated belongs to MysteryBen. If you want an explanation to why Galahad is a kitsune, I'll give you a link to a story I'm making.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Nothing says good afternoon with a walk in the forest with me and my pups, Vivi, Lewis, and Arthur, and Arthur’s annoying guardian kitsune Galahad who is also a hamster. Vivi brought us on this trip because she said that there was some magical book with all of the spells in the universe she wants to get her hands on. Although the others, including me, were a bit concerned about her idea of getting all the power in the universe in the world, I suggested that we all go together, except Galahad who had invited himself. I really wasn’t liking him to come with us. We have despised each other for a long time. Most likely because I chased him around like a dog as he was a hamster, running with his electronic wheels. This time, he had those mechanical legs that Arthur made for him ever since he revealed himself to us all. I was also a bit jealous that he’s been stealing my pup away from me. I was the first kitsune to ever save his life, what did this orange fluff ball ever do? “How long have we been walking, Vivi?” Arthur’s voice says in a complaining tone. He was slowing his walks as he wasn’t much for going at long distances. Lewis wouldn’t complain since he’s a ghost, me and Galahad were made for walking and Vivi is probably motivated by the so-called spell book that she doesn’t care if her legs are tired. “My legs aren’t getting any better.”

“Oh stop your whining Arthur, we got a few miles up here.” Vivi tells him in full confidence. “Plus, with that magic book, we can dream of anything we want.”

“I bet it’ll turn Mystery into a fat toad.” Galahad says, making fun of me. I huff at him in annoyance as I really wanted to bite him in the butt.

“We already got the fat part down and he can turn into a toad whenever he wants.” Vivi says next, not helping me. I look down at my gut, fat as usual.

I glare at her for a bit before speaking. “If you two start teasing me like this, I’ll sit on the two of you.” I threatened them both but the two of them took it as a joke as they laughed. “What’s so funny?”

“It’s funny because you believe that your butt is big enough to sit on a eleven foot kitsune!” Galahad answers in a mocking way. “You know what they say, fat foods can go straight to your thighs.”

“Then it’s a good thing I got those Mystery Snacks in my backpack just in case.” These two were really irritating me very much.

“Can we not try to start a fight here? I really would like to go back home.” Arthur interrupts the conversation. For once, I really wanted to agree with his ideas. Most of them were pretty crazy and utterly useless like staying up late making plans or avoiding eating food. The poor kid was literally trying to starve himself to death. By the gods I just wish I could be more aggressive than telling him to do stuff.

“You know Vivi, I feel like we are just heading for a trap so-” Lewis was about to say before Vivi began to shush him,

“Shh! I heard voices on the other side of this shrub.” She whispers before steadily going through the bush without any problems. “What do you know?” Vivi said, her tone sounding very surprised and in awe. I was even curious to myself as to what she was seeing. So me and the rest stuck ourselves into the bushes and peaked out. I too was amazed at what I saw. It was a village, but not just a village, one that’s full of kitsunes. All around the town was kitsunes, no humans nor other species of animals. I thought that we had splitted up centuries ago during the Human and Kitsune War. Maybe I was wrong.

“It’s like a whole village of kitsunes there.” I said. We all went back out of the bush and to the other side to discuss this.

“I cannot believe that we are witnessing an actual kitsune civilization.” Vivi squeals a little as she was so excited about it. “Maybe we should say hi to them.”

“Wait a minute.” Lewis stops her, putting his ghostly hand on her shoulder. “We don’t know if they’ll accept humans Vivi. We only saw kitsunes in there.” Lewis did make a good point on that. For I wasn’t going to risk having those kitsunes attack my pups.

“I know but….” Without even finishing her sentence, she goes back through the other side of the bush. I rolled my eyes knowing how stubborn she can be in these situations. “Hey Mystery?” She calls my name, making me go through the bush again and to check up with her.

“Yeah?” I asked.

“I didn’t know there were kitsunes with round bellies like yours.” She points out as I look back at the village of kitsunes. From what I was seeing, I think she was right. There was this one kitsune that I didn’t know. His belly was about the size of a beach ball, but distorted for some reason. It didn’t look like fat to me and this kitsune was male so he wasn’t pregnant. “He might have beaten your world record there.” Of course that joke had to come out of her mouth.

“I swear Vivi, you are the most annoying human being I’ve ever met.” I said to her in an annoyed tone as I couldn’t take her compliments anymore. I then looked back at the kitsune with the big belly. It looked like he was going over to a female kitsune whose belly was skinny as ever. It reminded me of when I used to be skinny, where did that time go? I thought that the two were going to have some normal chat, but then…..something strange was happening with the male kitsune. He just bends over and starts gagging up something, like he was throwing up.

“Ew, what is he doing?” Vivi asked as I was thinking the same thing. Then something was coming out of his mouth, it looked like a deer’s head. Then more of this animal was being spit out by the kitsune as his belly started shrinking more. In a full minute, a whole deer carcass was spat out and covered in saliva on the ground. It wasn’t alive so thank the gods that it wasn’t going to witness the moment. But still, never in my life have I ever seen something like this before. “No way. They’re delivering meals with their bellies?”

I knew at this moment that Vivi had something lighting up in that brain of hers. She quickly gets out of the bushes and immediately goes straight to the team. “Vivi, what did you find?” Lewis asks as I get out of the bush too.

“Mystery and I just witnessed a kitsune spitting out a full dear, like it was delivering to other kitsunes.” Vivi explains which gets the others surprised, especially Galahad who never had seen something like that before. “I think I have an idea on how we can get across the village.” She then looks at me with that smirk that always gets us in trouble.

“Now what a minute!” I stopped her. “There’s no way that I’m gonna to let you guys in my belly. I don’t want to digest you!”

“Then you’ll have to do it quickly. Digestion takes two to four hours to start.” She then opens my maw and sticks her head inside. “Hmm, it looks okay to me.” She then takes her head out and looks at the others.

Lewis and Arthur also worried about this idea, for the sake of everyone’s life here. Galahad is just curious about this, maybe because it’s a way to humiliate me for having a big belly. “You know what, I’ll agree to the plan Vivi.” Galahad said, supporting her.

“Thanks Galahad. You’ll have to go first.” She said to him, making me even more shocked than before.

“Wait what!?” I wasn’t ready for Vivi to say that. “Galahad is a kitsune, why do I have to eat him!?” I demanded an answer.

“Because he has robotic legs. If those kitsunes realize that he’s been in contact with humans, who knows what they’ll do?” For some reason, Vivi made a great point, but I hated that I have to eat a kitsune who’s almost my size. He’ll burst my gut after swallowing him. “So open wide so Galahad can get in.”

“Ugh. I’m gonna regret this so much.” I open my jaw wide open for the orange kitsune to get in.

“Thank you for the ride Mystery, just go easy on the wobbling, I get sick sometimes.” He mocks me before putting his head inside. Of course, I could just use this as an advantage to show Galahad how strong I am. So I shoved him in, hearing a yelp from his own mouth. Vivi had to help push him down as I started to swallow him. It was hard at first, but when I got his back legs and tails, it was like slurping noodles. After the last gulp, I look down at my bulging belly that squirms around. It was like the size of a deformed beach ball.

“Ugh...that was so sickening.” I said, putting my paw on my belly. “You better be careful with those claws Galahad, I don’t want you scratching up my belly.” I warned him before huff a little after getting that feeling of eating too much.

“Temping, but I won’t.” He had a mechanical feature where his claws can be retracted back like a cat. “Feels very warm in here, like a sauna.”

“Since when have you ever been into a sauna before?” I asked him, doubting that he ever went to a relaxing place.

“Oh please Mystery, you need to get out of the house more. It’ll be better than being a potato couch for weeks you fat lazy pig.” I wish I could have digested him before the others would be able to enter. But of course I couldn’t, Arthur would be devastated. He’s been friends with that no back legged hamster for a whole year. But if something bad happened with Arthur, Galahad would create chaos to the whole world.

“Stop arguing you two, we gotta keep going.” Vivi interrupts our argument and turns to Lewis. “You’re next Lewis.”

“What do you mean, me?” He asked, still worried about her plan. “Why can’t you go next?”

“And what? Trust you that you’ll get in yourself? Yeah right.” She grabs her hand and puts her hand on my snout, forcing it to open before putting Lewis’s hand inside.

“Gah!” It really surprised him and I just did what I’m supposed to do. I slurped Lewis’ arm as Vivi kept pushing more of him inside my mouth. First was his arm, then head and shoulders, waist, and finally his legs. My belly expanded up to another set of inches, feeling a bit full.

“Ergh! It’s so crowded in here!” Galahad complains, squirming around more. “Move your legs Lewis!”

“I can’t, your fat butt is crushing them!” He shouts back.

“What did you say!?” He furious screams before a loud snarl vibrated my belly.

“Hey! Be nice in there you two!” I yelled in there and huffed. “I don’t want to have to spit you out.”

“You better not Mystery, you’re our only hope of getting us into that village.” Vivi says before she grabs Arthur next who was really going to regret doing this as much as me.

“I’m gonna need a shower after this.” Arthur whines before slipping right into my maw. He was easy to swallow when he’s a skinny guy. But the taste of his metallic arm wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, just like Galahad’s back legs. Looking down at my now bigger belly, it was the size of a kitsune sized yoga ball. I wasn’t happy that Galahad had to still be in his kitsune form, I just don’t know why he couldn’t change into a Tanuki, or a hamster.

“Ugh, I don’t think I can keep going.” I said, feeling a bit queasy. It was getting to my limit and I wasn’t in the mood to burst.

“Yeah right, I’ve seen you eat like thirty boxes of Mystery Snacks and you were still hungry.” She says, certain that I can take in more. “Before I go in, I’ll need your glasses and collar.” So Vivi takes the golden glasses from the top of my snout and detaches the collar on my neck. Shen then puts them safely in her purse that she brought with her on the trip.

“Let me guess, so they won’t know that I have an owner.” It was the only explanation why.

“Yep. Now it’s time for me to go in.” She uses her hands to open my jaw wide open and slide right in. Without any other choice, I gulped her down heavily as she entered right into my belly. I whine and huff, putting my paw on my tight bloated belly that squirms around alot like I’ve eaten a bunch of wild wolves.

“Please….stop….urgh!....squirming….” I let out deep breaths and grunt. I knew it was a bad idea from the start.

“Sorry Mystery, but it’s so crowded in here.” Arthur said.

“And uncomfortable.” Lewis adds.

I whine a second time, making slow movements as my belly drags on the grass and dirt as if I had a giant boulder tied below me. “Why can’t…..nrgh!.....Galahad…..” I take another huff. “Transform into a smaller creature?”

“Because I don’t want to be crushed by the humans, fat mutt.” I really loathe the orange furred kitsune. Of course arguing with him wasn’t going to help me get across the village. Heavily wobbling, I managed to take a few steps at a time, even though my belly was hurting and groaning a lot. I have to admit, I would rather have a blood sucking crazy plant lady than this.

In the village, it seems that most of the kitsunes weren’t too curious about me and my overfilled belly. I even saw some that were almost the same size as mine. Lucky that they’re used to it while I’m still fighting the pain that’s happening right both inside and outside of my taut belly. “Looks like it’s working guys.” I whispered to the others who were mysteriously too quiet inside, I thought Arthur would keep on complaining and Vivi having an hour conversation with the others. “Guys?”

“Don’t worry, we’re not digested.” Lewis whispers back, calming me down a bit.

“Yet.” Galahad said with a scoff. “Better move it big boy or we’ll be your extra fat.” If only I could control my digestion, it would be Galahad that could become my extra fat. But he still had a point, there’s no telling how long my digestion would act up soon.

But as I was making my way on the other side, this brown kitsune came up to me. “Hey there friend, that’s a nice delivery you’re making. Big family?” He asks while using his paw to poke at my belly. The others were trying to not make any noise to alert this kitsune.

“Well….yes.” I lied, shaking a bit in worry. “It’s my job to make sure that my family gets fed well. You know how it is.”

“Of course. We kitsunes have to make our families happy with the food we bring. Is this your first time?” To be honest, I’m not sure. I mean I have eaten people and animals before, but that was because I was hungry. This was different. Plus, having to digest them only was way better than trying to keep them stored in.

“Kinda of, it’s hard to explain. You?” I was an idiot to ask that. Whenever I say that to someone, the only meaning could be to keep the conversation going and I have no time for that. There’s a reason why I stay clear of Vivi’s start of a conversation.

“It’s a regular basis. And I do have to admit that I kinda like this job. Not only would you taste the food, but you can get a good feeling of how full you’ll get before sharing it.” I thought that this was going to be a long talk but then a long aggressive growl vibrated inside my belly. It startled me and the brown kitsune. At first I believed that my digestion was starting, but then with the shushing, I knew what was happening. “Was that your belly?”

“Oh..yeah…..I’m just…” I needed an idea to get out of this talk. “Well...hungry….” And that was the jackpot right there. “Yeah, hungry. I’m a starving kitsune and I do not want to digest all of this meat or else my big family won’t get any.” It sounded like a great explanation and with joy, the brown kitsune believed that.

“Oh my bad, I shouldn’t hold onto you for that long. Be on your way to your family then. Maybe we can meet up sometime and talk more.” I nod back as he runs off to wherever he was planning on going. I won’t lie, the guy was pretty nice and maybe I would like to talk to him again.

“Finally, I thought that fox wouldn’t shut up.” Galahad whispers loudly, making me and the rest of the gang shush him.

“You were an idiot there for almost blowing our cover.” Lewis scolds at him.

“And what? Let us get digested while Mystery starts yapping his mouth? As if I’m the idiot here.” Galahad said back, sounding like he was about to bark at him. Of course, I do have to thank him for that and his growling.

A few slow steps later, as the pain of my tight belly was fading. I was reaching the exit of the village. I felt so happy to make it all the way to the other side. I bet Vivi would reward me with something awesome for this. Just as soon as I was out, a twig snapped to my left, I panickly turned my head over to the sound and all I could see was a purplish kitsune with three gold stripes on her body. “Oh hey there.” She greets, shyly. “Sorry if I scared you there.”

“No it’s fine. I was just about to head out.” I chuckled a little, trying to not be awkward.

“Oh, well it looks like you skipped delivering the goods to the village.” She notices my big round belly.

Now I needed another lie to get another kitsune to believe me. “Oh that. I just realized that….” But as soon as I started to think, my eyes were directly on her left back leg, how it was covered up with a brace, most likely for broken legs. “Hey, where did you get that brace?” I asked, curious since I didn’t see anything else like that.

“Oh this. I accidently broke it while hunting it with my human, Ryan. He’s a great shot and an awesome healer.” She smiled as my mind went blank there for a second. She has a human and the other kitsunes somehow know about it? “So you're telling me that you have a human?”

“Of course silly. Kitsunes are allowed to have humans as companions.” The kitsune giggles. “I do promise to invite him over to my den sometime again. We were gonna plan a neat dinner for me, him, and my other friends.”

And that’s where my world shattered. This whole time…..everything that I’ve risked, humans were allowed in the village. So I ate my friends and that kitsune for an assumption because VIvi and I didn’t see any humans? I wanted to lash out in anger, but not at her of course. She wasn’t involved in the plan and I’m having some anger issues that need to be dealt with. “You know what, I have to go.” I said, desperate to leave this village.

“Ok then, take care.” And with that, she leaves.

I barged my way out of the village, furiously and aggressive. I didn’t even bother how my belly kept on dragging to the ground and the poking that I felt. Once I made it out, I first let out a snarl that vibrated my belly like jello. “Everyone…..OUT!!!!” I opened my mouth wide open and forcefully spitted all of my friends out. They were all covered in my saliva and wet.

With a bit of groaning from the others, Vivi says, “Well that was unexpected wasn’t it?” And she said it as if it really didn’t matter. I was this close to biting her head off for something that I was being tortured for. Even the others were mad about it. “What? At least we know that the village allows humans.”

“I swear Vivi, I will tear that book up when we get to it, you hear me!?” I literally went up to her, face to face, and said that. She didn’t seem scared at all since she knows pretty much about my behavior.

“If you say so. I heard that there’s a curse if a person tries to tear a page off.” She and the others stand up from the ground and begin to walk once more. “But this doesn’t mean that I won’t forget about it. What would you like as a thank you?”

Finally a reward. “When we get to that book, you better give me an unlimited stash of Mystery Snacks.” This made both Vivi and Galahad laugh.

“You know what? I like the idea.” Galahad said, agreeing with me for the first time in his life. “Might as well join in on that fun.” As if I would share with him. But seeing him as fat as me would be very enjoyable. Just might even try to make a big blob for me to make fun of.

“Then let’s go, we gotta get this book.” And so me, my pups and Galahad went on our adventure some more. Although we have no idea what is ahead of us, I just really hope that it will be storing the gang in my belly again. But that doesn’t mean that I will never do it, just in case things get out of hand and I’m in charge.
