Dead or Alive Hypno Story 5: Payback

Ayane lay on her bed, thinking about the previous night's events. About the discovery that she and Kasumi had both been hypnotized and could be put back under at the utterance of a single phrase. About how she had been put under at the utterance of a single phrase. Twice. And about how she'd been made to massage Kasumi and Hitomi's feet to prove that it was possible. She felt a great shame over her own helplessness.

She felt that she needed to blame someone else, that this couldn't possibly be her fault. After thinking on it for a while, she reached her conclusion: "Kasumi. If she hadn't dragged me to that stupid stage show, this never would have happened!" Somehow she had to get back at her for this offense. But how? Physical violence, however tempting, may be going too far. Maybe some kind of unbearable embarrassment? Embarrassment to match that which she felt. Yes, that would suffice. But how? Ayane had been hypnotized and taken advantage of during that time. And it wasn't like she could...or could she? It was clearly easier for someone to go under a second time and all she'd need was something to swing in front of Kasumi's eyes. It was decided.

Ayane snuck into the hypnotist's room. His body had been discovered and, thanks to Master Ryu's setup, his death had been ruled an accident: while fixing a loose pipe in the bathroom, he'd slipped on a bar of soap and landed on the exposed pipe and being impaled. While an unlikely story, it had fooled the staff and a party had been held to draw the passengers away from the room while the body was removed.

Ayane went over to the bedside table, hoping that his things hadn't been taken. She opened the draw and searched, finding what she needed at the bottom of the draw. She pulled the small necklace out and looked at it. She let it swing a little and found her eyes drawn to it. As soon as she realised this, she stopped its swinging. This was definitely it. It was doubtful that this was the same one used to hypnotized Hitomi (while Ayane held her in place) since the hypnotist had had that one on his person when he was killed. Having found what she came for, Ayane returned to her own room to wait for her unsuspecting prey.

Kasumi was returning from relaxing on the deck with Hitomi; they'd felt it best to avoid the shows for a while. She opened the door to her room and saw Ayane sat at the coffee table in her sleepwear. Ayane turned to face her as she entered. "Kasumi, I'm glad you're here. There's something I have to show you." She seemed oddly excited as she said this. But there was nothing to worry about since this couldn't be the result of hypnosis as the hypnotist was gone. Ayane walked over to her bed and began searching her bedside desk. "Come and sit down, Kasumi," she motioned to the bed as she continued looking.

"Alright." Kasumi sat on Ayane's bed and waited for her to take out what she had to show. Somehow, this scenario seemed quite familiar but Kasumi had no idea why. Ayane finally found what she was looking for and turned to Kasumi and showed her. It was a necklace. While simply consisting of a sphere on a string, there was something compelling about it. As is swung freely beneath Ayane's hand, Kasumi was drawn into it. Its rhythmic swinging put her at ease, made her feel that everything would be alright if she allowed herself to become lost in its swing.

As Kasumi sat, mesmerized by the necklace, Ayane could hardly contain her excitement. Soon, she'd have complete power over her sister and would be able to get payback for all those years where Kasumi was raised like a princess while Ayane was treated like a mistake. She decided to help Kasumi along into her trance. While it hadn't been necessary during the stage show, it would make Ayane feel very much in control of Kasumi. "Kasumi, your eyelids are getting heavy," she said in a tender, soothing tone. "Your eyes are so heavy that you can barely keep them open." Kasumi's eyelids were beginning to close. "But you can't let them close yet, you must keep watching the necklace." Kasumi's eyes were half closed and twitching; Kasumi was clearly doing her best to keep watching the necklace. Ayane could feel the power she had over Kasumi with this. She couldn't wait any more. "In a moment, your eyes will close and when they do, you will fall into a deep sleep. Let them close now." Kasumi's eyes drifted shut and she slumped on the bed.

Kasumi was under! Now, it was time for Ayane to have some fun. "Kasumi, can you hear me?"

"Yes," she replied in a monotone. Ayane hadn't actually seen this part before since she'd previously been put under before or at the same time as others.

"Kasumi, when I snap my fingers, you will open your eyes but you will remain in a trance and you will obey all of my commands without question. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Satisfied with this response Ayane prepared to snap her fingers. "Oh, and when you will refer to me as your mistress. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mistress."

This made Ayane really feel like she had total power over Kasumi. She snapped her fingers and Kasumi's eyes snapped open and she faced forward into nothingness. What would she do with her entranced sister first? She should begin by testing Kasumi's obedience. Perhaps by taking a page from her book. She moved over to foot of the bed and dangled her legs over the edge. "Kasumi, sit there on the floor," she commanded while pointing to the space by her feet.

"Yes, Mistress." Kasumi stood robotically and walked to where her mistress had specified and sat on her knees facing Ayane.

"Kasumi, I want you to prove your obedience by rubbing my feet." She wouldn't likely do it if she wasn't really hypnotized.

"Yes, Mistress." To Ayane's surprise, Kasumi took her right foot and began massaging it. Now she saw why Hitomi had made Ayane massage her feet too; this was bliss. It must have come from her ninja training because Kasumi's touch was perfect, both in its strength and its positioning.

"The other one too."

"Yes, Mistress." Kasumi took the left foot and began rubbing it too. Ayane laid back and allowed Kasumi to continue. A satisfied smile crept onto Ayane's face as Kasumi's precise fingers hit all the right spots on her tired feet. She began to ponder whether or not she would have Kasumi remember this when she was done. She didn't want Kasumi getting revenge by doing the same thing to her. Besides, just the satisfaction of knowing she'd done this was enough. Ayane wanted to feel even more superior to Kasumi. She sat up and pulled her feet from Kasumi's grasp and crossed her legs. Kasumi's hands lowered onto her thighs as she awaited her next command.

"Kasumi, your mistress wants you to show her how much you want to please her."

"How may I please you, Mistress?"

"You may begin by kissing my feet."

To Ayane's utter amazement, "Yes, Mistress," was Kasumi's response. She held Ayane's left foot in her hands and began kissing her toes. This proved undoubtedly that she was totally hypnotized and obedient. Amazement soon gave way to contentedness as a smug smirk spread across her face. She looked down on Kasumi, still kissing her feet and chuckled. This was the feeling she'd longed for: the feeling of being superior to the 'princess' of the village. Nothing could have possibly made her happier than this. She now had Kasumi kissing her feet like an old lover and she could implant a trigger so she could have this feeling any time she wanted. Now, next on the agenda-

Knock knock. Ayane jumped at the sudden interruption. "Y-yes?" she called out, taking her feet away from Kasumi.

"Hello? It's Hitomi." Damn. What could she want? More importantly, Ayane had to hide Kasumi in case Hitomi came in.

"I-I'll be there in a minute!" She stuffed the necklace into her pocket and crouched next to Kasumi, whispering into her ear, "Kasumi, go into the bathroom, turn on the shower and lock the door until I tell you to come out."

"Yes, Mistress." Kasumi stood and marched robotically into the bathroom. As soon as she heard the lock, Ayane made her way to the door. Then it occurred to her: Hitomi had been the one that made Ayane massage her and Kasumi's feet. And Hitomi had been hypnotized as well. A sinister smirk found its way onto her face as she planned her next move. She opened the door to see Hitomi with her usual cheerful smile on her face. A smile that wouldn't be there for long.

"Hi, I was just wondering if you guys wanted to hang out."

"Well, Kasumi's in the shower right now but you can come in and wait if you want."

"Okay!" Ayane held the door open as Hitomi walked in and sat at the coffee table. Ayane closed the door and locked it quietly before moving to sit on the coffee table, facing Hitomi. "I-is something wrong?" Hitomi asked nervously.

"No, nothing's wrong," Ayane replied in a calm tone to help put Hitomi at ease. "I just have this cool thing I want to show you."

"What is it?" Hitomi asked curiously as Ayane reached into her pocket. She pulled out a necklace. It looked just like the one the hypnotist had used to hypnotize her. "W-where did you get that?"

"That's not important. What is important is that you focus all your attention on it as it swings back and forth."

"No!" Hitomi knew immediately what Ayane was trying to do and quickly turned away. Ayane grabbed Hitomi's chin with her free hand and forced her to look at the necklace. Hitomi shut her eyes immediately. Ayane was going to need some help. And since there was no going back now...

"Kasumi! Come here!" Kasumi? Had Ayane already hypnotized Kasumi? Hitomi could hear a door open and footsteps approaching. She felt someone grab her from behind and pry her eyes open with their fingers. She knew it was Kasumi and that there was no escape. She tried to scream but Ayane clamped her free hand over her mouth. Hitomi was powerless to scream. Powerless to escape. And now, powerless to resist. Her struggles ceased as she gave in to Ayane's power and her eyes closed.

"Kasumi, release her and sit next to her," Ayane commanded.

"Yes, Mistress." Kasumi obeyed her orders. Ayane let out a sigh of relief as she looked at the entranced Hitomi. The crisis had been averted. She hadn't planned to do this but she'd had no choice. Oh, well. She might as well get some payback against Hitomi too.
