She gasps and spasms more as she was stimulated, tormented delightfully. Her consciousness was being tormented too, with images of women being pleasured insanely well.

She WAS being played with, and it was irking her now! She was flushing and growling under her breath, twisting and looking for some place to kick. That irritation made her fear vanish quickly, which was in turn being washed away by his torment of her poor body.

"Gh! I was... trrraaiiH! t-trying to be nice!" She gasps out, her whole body quaking as that tiny tendril vibrated. For sure, he had tricks above and beyond what any women would never normally experience... and she was going to likely experience most... if not all.

Twitching and threatening to thrash about in his grip again, she cried out. "Pl-please... this is too much! I can't handle it!" Her hips spasm and rock, her body becoming painfully aroused again.

Oh? Nice? Well, so was I. He eased up after a moment, the vibration stopping... at least for now. Of course, he'd give her more later, naturally, but at this moment she got the respite she was begging for.

Of course, that wouldn't stop her body's painful arousal from increasing nonetheless... his tendrils didn't actually leave her spot, only moved very softly, not enough to do more but tickle... though, tickling there was pretty intense anyway!

I'll remember that... and be sure to give you even greater feelings later. I imagine that will be at the end, right before you pass out, though. Don't you think?

She gasps in relief as he eases up, though she still squirms and twitches as she's stimulated. His words to her was a potent taunt, making her face redden. She holds her tongue a moment, managing to finally respond as she still quivers under his attentive tentacles. "I... I imagine... it would."

She closes her eyes and just lowers her chin, trying to think through the pleasure. Lord, would it be so wrong to just let this happen? Her toes curled on her feet under the barrage of sensation...

There would be no answer to her prayer except for his continued teasing... tentacles returning to her breasts, to wrap around and squeeze them lightly once more. He was upping the ante once again, increasing the stimulation he gave her even as her temptation to surrender increased. He wasn't reading her mind, but she might suspect it, the way he was facilitating her total surrender.

The tendril around her sensitive nub squeezed, tugged, and rubbed more vigorously again, too... she was being teased almost as effectively as last time. She was still mostly in the water, though, and the warm water surely would have some kind of effect. Then the tendrils on her breasts began vibrating.

He wouldn't give her even a moment to keep on balance, would he? She'd hear his voice again, soon enough.

Yes. Your imagination is quite accurate.

She jerked in surprise as her poor breasts were seized again. It was all just too much for her; she began to roll her body about and moan as she was hopelessly stimulated beyond belief. She tried to cope, gasping weakly, but then her aching, full breasts began to jiggle and quiver as the sudden vibrations sent her into spasms again! Her legs flicked and twitched, her hips rolling.

Wide-eyed at this new experience, she nearly was sent into climax again, arching desperately and tossing out her tits further! "Gggghhnnn OOoooh my gooooodddd!!!" She nearly screamed out, groans escaping her continually now!

Now, of course, he was going to make sure she orgasmed, and potentially even harder than her first. With a sudden jolt, her clitoris would feel the full onset of the same vibration from before... but with the added stimulation all around her, it would certainly be enough to bring her to a thunderous, crashing climax.

Antipode soaked up her pleasure... she had pretty much given up, hadn't she? He figured he'd be able to penetrate her soon... and she would enjoy every moment, even if it hurt temporarily for a few seconds. With her body's response to mere teasing being so intense, he knew she'd be driven wild soon enough!

"AAUUUUUHHH!!" She screams out at the top of her lungs, thrashing about again! It took only seconds for her writhing and flailing body to come, jerking and shuddering through it. How could she come again, at this things' touch!

She just slumped in its grip, tired, pleasured almost senseless, and not really willing to fight it anymore. It wasn't... unfriendly, in its own strange way. Maybe she could just relax... it wasn't bad. Far from it. The release of tension in her body felt incredible, and she just let herself stay limp as she tried to cool down...

Antipode felt quite invigorated by her powerful climax, happily experiencing the waves of her pleasure through their psychic connection. He could feel her intense pleasure, and it was as satisfying as he had hoped for. He almost had to fight to restrain himself from continuing on... it was time to let her relax a little longer, and so he let her.

The tendrils on her breasts and clit moved away, leaving her tingling body alone. In fact, he let go of her entirely, letting her float, lightly, in the water. The blackness of the sky was complete now, the sky overcast so that not a hint of light existed, except for a slight glow from the far off buildings. She was enveloped by dark.

He knew he needed to keep her from falling asleep, so soon she'd feel tendrils rubbing her back and neck, making clear his presence. He wasn't going to let her pass out yet!

So, enjoying yourself? When you've calmed sufficiently, let's see the best way to end your virginity. How about it?

She floats in the water, body aching and tingling, but totally relaxed as she just lay out there for now. She shivered as she felt the tentacles massage her, but relaxed a little as they continued. It made her nervous, but she was too tired from her climaxes to really resist, and... well, she needed that.

Breathing slowly, she just let herself lay out like that, not really sure what to say. After a moment she turned her body over, actually blowing bubbles into the water. It made her giggle almost hysterically... then she just rolled back onto her back. God, that felt good somehow...

She didn't answer him for the longest time, then shivered. "...I guess I don't have much of a choice, do I?" She closes her eyes and tries to turn herself up and around in the water so she was 'standing'. "...I guess so." She sighs tiredly, then chuckles weakly. "Would have been better if maybe you went on a few dates first, you know."

Antipode was silent for a long time, it seemed. Then, Karen was lifted out of the water. Now, she wouldn't really be able to see what happened next in the total darkness, but she would be able to feel most everything. She was lifted, her body chilled in the air, but lifted higher and higher, as if towards something.

While she couldn't get a good look at it, Antipode's core then finally revealed itself. An odd spherical structure with many tentacles coming out of it, it was large enough to bring the girl into itself by far. And of course, that's exactly what happened, the spherical core opening up, and the many tendrils moving her inside.

When they let her down, her naked body would feel the strange, very soft, fleshy interior. It was warmer in here, very moist, and she'd hear, or more like feel, a slight humming-like sound from time to time. Tendrils seemed to appear from nowhere inside of there, and soon the sphere closed, trapping her inside. Her limbs would be seized, but, oddly enough, she would be curled up slightly inside, made comfortable, like she was sitting, or laying down.

What was Antipode doing? He knew precisely what his plan was. Her words had spurred him on. With the recent experiments he had done with the minds of humans, and his abilities in general, he knew his proficiencies were increasing. He was onto something, and Karen's words inspired him.

He needed more interaction with humans, and that meant interaction outside of merely pleasuring them to unconsciousness, as addicting and lovely as such a thing was. Yes, he'd learned massive amounts, but there was still so much he was ignorant of. So much he needed to learn and experience of these creatures. As an anthropologist of sorts, he could do nothing less.

Your request is rather unusual, but yes, I believe I agree. Thank you for the inspiration, Karen... though this might feel a little unpleasant for the next few moments, so be warned.

It was then, in the heart of the monster, that he began in earnest to try to connect to her mind. It would feel strange at first, a bizarre jumble of sensations. Karen would be able to feel the alien presence intruding into her mind, entering, examining, looking, straight into her, almost. In truth, it was recording her memories into itself, trying to figure out the best way to begin.

But Antipode's many layers of consciousness were perfect for such high level calculations, and soon he found the perfect spot. Karen's mind would suddenly flash, and it wouldn't feel good by any means, but her mind would be linked, and soon, the strange sensations of his mind would overwhelm her.

She would wake up inside of her room. The air, the smells, the feelings, all so familiar. It was warm, as if it was still summer. The calendar on her wall would show that the day was almost two months before she left to Shokushu. The day after receiving her letter.

It was quite early, something like 5 AM, but she wouldn't be tired. But she was in bed, dry, and not in the grip of the monster.

Right?

She shivered as she was raised out of the water, goosebumps appearing across her skin again. She turned and twisted, trying to see around her... and that's when she saw IT.

She froze, staring at the spherical core. She had wondered just what this thing was, and what it looked like... now, she knew. And as it opened up, she desperately twisted around, trying to pull away. Before she could even scream, she was pulled inside.

And here, she found herself grabbed and curled up, surprisingly hesitating in her fear. Up until now, it hadn't done anything... completely menacing... and this inside seemed much different from some sort of stomach.

"Request...? What does this have to-" Her remaining question was lost as she squeaked and flinched! She shivered and twisted, writhing a little as she tried to process what was happening. Finally...

-------

She blinked. For a few moments, she was just laying on the futon-bed, so shocked by the sudden transition that she didn't dare to move. Finally, she kicked away the blanket loosely laying on her, sitting up fast.

She looked around, sunlight peeking in illuminating the calender, shelf, and other things in her small room. She didn't note the day yet, just starting to stand and look around. She looked down at herself finally, raising her eyebrows at the cheesy 'seven samurai' pajamas she had found. She pulled up at her neckline, looking down her PJs at herself, as if checking to see that there was no ensnaring tentacles under her outfit.

{What... the... heck?} She blinked a few times, just staring around her room. She reached up, putting her fingers on the wooden shelf slowly, running them along it to feel the grain of the wood under her digits.

Antipode wasn't here. No evidence of what had been happening was there. She wasn't tired, wasn't tingling from what the monster had been doing to her. She was dry, and clean, and felt... oh so familiar. Like she'd never left home.

The sun was still dim, seeing as it was so early, but her room was light enough that she could see everything. It was just as it was... as if she had never left.

The wood under her fingers was the same as it always was. All those familiar grooves in just the right places. It was all the same! Nothing, anything, was any different...

---

Antipode, of course, was creating all of this. But maybe Karen could hope it was all a dream? Antipode's consciousness was devoted to making this perfectly realistic, and it was being successful so far. It hadn't taken as long as he had feared to enter her mind... but now, it was time to create an entity Karen could communicate with. A new person, not one she had met before... but where to place him?

She rubbed her eyes, wondering just what was going on. She wanted to call out to her mother or father, but something made her hesitate. What would she do if they weren't there, or if they... weren't themselves? What if this was just some fantasy in her mind? What did he mean, exactly, before? Or was that just a vivid nightmare?

She wasn't tired though, and because of that she decided to see just exactly what was going on around her. She got herself into a light blouse and skirt, grabbing a jacket for the cool night, and snuck outside. Was this a dream, a fantasy, or was she really home?

She stepped out onto the sidewalk, looking up and down the street, and started to walk down the familiar road, just staring out at the urban environment of this tokyo prefecture at night.

There weren't many people out. But the few who were went along their business, some familiar, most not, as if nothing was the matter at all. If this was merely a simulation, it was a very good one. The only hint, so far, that there was something beyond the ordinary was the fact that she had woken up in such a bizarre manner, that she remembered so vividly Shokushu... a place who's acceptance letter was still there on her desk, for goodness' sake!

The farther she got from home didn't matter, the place was as normal as it ever was. Every feeling, smell, sight, even the clouds. The sun was rising, and the colors were as beautiful as they could ever be. They were all what they'd be if she was really, truly there.

Then, of course, she'd see something - or more precisely someone- slightly out of the ordinary. While other people were walking about their business, he was simply standing there, on a raised area nearby, watching the sunrise silently. A young man, looking probably to be in his early twenties, something about him seemed... different. There was nothing there beyond his action to draw attention to him, but nonetheless, he was noticeable for some strange reason.

She looked around... for a time, she just reveled in the familiarity of it, missing home already. She quickly was forgetting that school, just staring about in surprise and delight.

The young man that she finally caught sight of gave her pause, but also made her curious. She approached him, leaning forwards a little and smiling to catch his attention. <"Hey...? Lost?">
