Her tiny body tumbled over Kiara’s giant fingers, then rolled across her palm as she was lifted higher and higher into the air. It was hard to tell which way was up while being tossed around against the giantess’s massive digits. She exhausted herself just in time to see her captor open her hand, and huge, glittering pinkish-purple irises regarded her from above.
“P-please don’t kill me!” The woman dropped to her knees. “I-I’m a huge fan, Kiara! I saw your concert and everything! I’m begging you, please let me go!”
Initially, Kiara said nothing, opting instead to push and prod the supposed fan with her index finger. There was something infinitely amusing about toppling the smaller woman over with the lightest flick of her digits. Merely turning her hands was enough of a shift for the woman to lose her balance and stumble to the precipice of a fatal fall. Throughout all the torment, the tiny woman continued to plead for life through teary eyes.
“Mm, okay, so you’re a fan?” Kiara stopped twisting her hands long enough for the woman to get her bearings. “Then you know all the choreography for my songs, right?”
The woman nodded her head fiercely. “Yes! Or course! I was even practicing them last night! T-they’re so good!”
“Okay, then show me ‘Hinotori’. If you don’t screw it up, I’ll put you down. But if you miss a step…” Kiara opened her mouth and displayed the depths of her warm, cavernous maw, her tongue glistening in saliva. “...then you’re gonna be a little snack on the way home.”
A heavy ball of fear knotted the woman’s stomach upon peering into that organic abyss. Falling to her death or being crushed by a collapsing building was one thing, but to be eaten alive…it was a fate incomprehensible to most modern humans.
“Of course! Great choice, tenchou!” She planted her feet on the supple texture of Kiara’s palm and held out her hands, cupping them around phantom glow sticks. After taking a deep, shuddering breath, she began moving her feet and pumping her arms into the air. Usually, one would be cheering “Oi! Oi! Oi!” during this portion, but her throat was locked shut in fear. She continued on in silence and puppeted her terrified body through the movements, never daring to stare directly into her captor’s hungry, overbearing eyes.
Halfway through the performance, panic started to take hold of her limbs. Her footwork was getting messy, her arms were limp and off-beat. The woman’s mind was already assaulting her with visions of plunging into Kiara’s giant mouth, feeling the intense slippery heat of her tongue and the rows of back teeth crunching through her waist like a candy wafer. In her periphery, she saw Kiara lick her lips and heard a low growl of hunger rumble from her exposed midriff.
Still, she commanded her body to move, to dance! It was the last twenty seconds and she regained her composure long enough to follow through with the final flourish. She twirled the glow sticks and managed a small, clearly terrified smile to finish off her performance. Sweat dripping off her face, the woman bowed and awaited judgment.
Seconds passed and she could feel her heartbeat drumming in her ears. Would her life end here or not? She still couldn’t bring herself to look up, but the anticipation was building to a lethal degree in her chest.
Finally, Kiara tilted her head and narrowed her eyes. “Are you fucking serious? You missed the whole second chorus!” Kiara tightened her grip around the tiny woman, squeezing the wind from her lungs like a tube of toothpaste. “This is what happens to chimkins that can’t keep up!”
The woman erupted into hysterics and flailed within Kiara’s fingers with every ounce of remaining strength. Her cries were quickly made inaudible as she was tossed into Kiara’s mouth like a piece of popcorn. She was allowed three more seconds of life, squirming and sobbing against Kiara’s tongue, until tenchou pushed the pitiful fan between her molars and bit down. There was a soft crunch and the screaming ended. Kiara munched on her body a couple more times before pushing the mass to the back of her throat and swallowing it down.
“Mm, not bad. It’ll hold me over until I get back, I guess.” With that, Kiara got to her feet, brushed the rubble and carnage off the back of her miniskirt, and headed home. All things considered, the growing serum worked exceptionally well and there was now one less competitor in town. The R&D team deserved a raise.
