“This is so much fun!” Tsunami loudly giggled. She clapped her hands in excitement; greatly amused with this new game her and her three sisters were playing. Tokimi and Washu looked at their sister in puzzlement. Tsunami was never this emotional, she was acting like an over overemotional teen. Questions about their sister’s behavior were left for later, as they tried to decide Tenchi’s fate inside Noike.

Washu tapped her chin thoughtfully. “I think…” Washu began saying. “That it only makes sense for Noike to digest her food. She can decide later if she wants to digest Tenchi the next time.”

“Next time?” Tokimi asked with a raised brow in interest.

“What, did you really think we were going to stop this with only one person being eaten,” Washu chuckled and Tokimi smiled back. With a wave of Washu’s hand, she caused Noike’s body to change slightly, but have a huge effect for both her and her meal.

##############################################

Noike floated on the water on her back. Buck naked, she stared up at the glass ceiling and the stars outside. One hand massaged her large, round belly, feeling the movement inside it. She hadn’t heard anything from Tenchi, and didn’t know if it was because he was upset with her or if she just couldn’t hear him. Noike prayed it wasn’t the former, she didn’t want Tenchi to hate her. She lov…cared for him very much.

Her calming drifting ended, when rumbling came from her stomach. A pang of pleasure spiked into her brain and she started to thrash in the water. She swam to the edge of the water and held onto the border, gasping for air as her stomach churned. She could feel Tenchi being moved around inside her belly, as it shook. Her eyes rolled back as her whole body shook, as the churning grew stronger. As the pleasure rose, her belly shrank. From its original five-foot dimension, it receded into her body until it was three feet in diameter. Noike threw her head back, moaning as the strange pleasure swelled, while her belly deflated. The pleasure receded and her breathing returned to normal. She moved a hand down to her belly, trying to feel her inflated stomach. Her eyes widened in shock, as she found only her flat stomach. She tried to feel Tenchi inside her, anywhere, trying to convince herself that he was still inside her, but she could find no trace of him and in growing horror realized what had happened.

“I digested him,” she mumbled. Her mind was in a dream like state, unable to fully comprehend that she’d killed Tenchi. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. If she’d known that eating Tenchi would cause his death, she would of starved to death rather then eat him.

‘Noike.’

The sound of her name being called snapped Noike out of her stupor. Looking around franticly, she looked for the person that had called out to her. It had sounded like Tenchi, but that was impossible. Tenchi was…was…was

‘Noike!’

The cry came again, this time more urgent. Noike tried to figure out where it was coming from, but she couldn’t figure it out. It was definitely Tenchi’s voice, but it was faint. It took Noike a moment to realize where it had come from. Rising a shaky hand to her head, she touched her temple.

“Tenchi, is that you?” Noike asked.

‘Yah,’ he said, not sounding too sure of it himself.

“You’re in my head,” Noike mumbled, saying it more for herself then for Tenchi. This was so crazy, but ever since she got the craving for living, human flesh, it’s been nothing but crazy.

‘I think your right. What happened?’

“I…I ate you and digested you,” Noike said, scarcely believing what had happened. “I’m sorry Tenchi. I don’t know why I did it, you must hate me,” sounding utterly defeated, Noike slumped forward. Barely having the energy to stand up strait in the warm pool water. Her rash actions had taken away someone she cared for so much. How could she live with herself?
