"Ooo! This is going to ssslow down my ssslithering.…" Kaa groaned as he pulled himself out of the jumbled mess of his own coils, trying his best to ignore Mowgli's mocking laughter.

It had been a terrible night for the serpent.

Not only did he have to endure being smacked around by that arrogant Panther, Bagheera, but thanks to him the Man-cub he'd been planning to consume escaped his coils and shoved him out of his own tree to boot!

'Lousy Man-cub!' He thought as he slithered through some bushes before climbing up a smaller tree. 'He's lucky that blasted Panther was there, otherwise he'd be nothing but a bulge in my stomach!'

As the Snake slithered across the branches, a gurgling sound quickly reminded him that he had yet to quell his hunger. '...speaking of which…' Looking around, Kaa quickly started scouting the area, hoping to find an unsuspecting animal to make a quick meal out of...

Luck seemed to be on his side as, after a few minutes of searching, he noticed a small Mouse helping itself to some berries on a branch just below him, completely oblivious to the presence of the predator just above him.

A light snack, but it would do for now.

In no mood to draw things out with his hypnosis this time, Kaa lunged at the unsuspecting mouse with his jaw open wide and swallowed him whole in one gulp. The poor creature didn't even have time to scream as he was consumed in the blink of an eye.

"A bit on the skinny side of scrawny… but you'll do for now…" Kaa chuckled to himself as he watched the bulge that was his meal travel down to his stomach, vainly struggling all the way. "If only it were the Man-Cub…" He sighed in disappointment as he slithered down toward the floor, his thoughts drifting back to when that Panther had dared to strike him before he could consume his meal. "...what changed? I usssed to be one of the mossst feared predatorsss in the jungle. Granted, not asss feared asss Ssshere Khan, but my presssenccce was enough to give othersss a fright… have I lossst my ssspunk?"

*snap*

The Serpent was brought out of his thoughts as he looked around for a moment, he could've sworn he'd heard something…

*THWAK*

Kaa ducked out of the way in fear as a spear impaled itself on the branch he'd just occupied! Quickly slithering into the bushes, his yellow eyes peered through the underbrush and spotted two torches in the distance, both of which were heading towards his location

...humans!

Here? This deep in the jungle!?

Glancing back up at the spear embedded in the branch, he gulped nervously and quickly attempted to slither out of sight... only for another spear to slam into the ground right in front of him. 'Not good! Not good!' He thought, mentally freaking out as he quickly slithered in the opposite direction, had it been one of them he might have taken a chance to hypnotize him and make him his meal, but two? Far too risky.

'This jungle was much less troublesome before those wretched humans got here!' He thought to himself as he rushed through the jungle, he could hear them shouting amongst each other, while too far to hear, he knew for a fact that they were dead set on hunting him. 'Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. Humans never followed the laws of the jungle…'

As he quickly slithered away, he could hear the sounds of branches and bushes being pushed out of the way as the two humans gave chase. Eventually, the serpent found himself cornered at a cliff overlooking a rather large river, he quickly slithered up into the trees, hoping to use the branches to reach the opposite end of the river and lose his pursuers, but just as he got to the farthest-reaching branch…

*SNAP*

...it snapped under his weight, sending him falling into the river and leaving his pursuers behind...

After a good few minutes of holding his breath, Kaa's head popped out of the water gasping for air as the current carried him further downstream, eventually bringing him to a rather large lake.

His first instinct was to find dry land, however, given his most recent experience, he was more than a little nervous to risk running into more humans...

...that is, until he noticed an island of some sort in the center of the lake... only it was structured quite differently. Upon swimming closer, he realized why the structure looked so familiar, this wasn't an island, but a temple, not unlike the one King Louis had taken residence in...

'A sunken temple? How long has this been here?' Kaa thought to himself as he swam to the submerged rooftop, slithering into an entrance on the upper level. The Serpent gazed down the long, stone stairway leading upwards and decided to follow the path, as he continued up the winding staircase he noticed several carvings that depicted several humans bowing down to a large Snake. "Whoever built thisss place cccertainly had good tassste…" Kaa chuckled to himself.

Eventually, he reached the top of the stairs, noticing that a faint, lime-green light filled the area as he entered a large circular room with a large statue of cobra in a lunging position in the center… said statue had some sort of jewel in its mouth, illuminating the room.

A part of him was curious, wondering just what this jewel was… and yet, he was so tired…

As a yawn escaped his mouth, the Serpent slithered up to the statue and coiled his own body into a comfy bed of coils. As he slowly fell asleep, his mind started drifting back to the disrespect and humiliation he'd endured this night.

The pompous Panther disrespecting his status as a predator and denying him his meal.

That annoying Man-cub pushing him out of his own tree.

And worst of all, those wretched humans who had the nerve to hunt him.

'I guess I truly have lost my spunk if I've been reduced to hiding like this…' He thought to himself. '...well no more… it's time this jungle was reminded that Shere Kahn isn't the only predator to be feared in this jungle!' Kaa mentally vowed as he slipped into a silent slumber.

Just as he did, however, several cracks began to spread across the surface of the jewel, then in an instant, the jewel dissolved in the air as a faint rain of sparkles rained down upon the sleeping Serpent...

As the Sun rose over the horizon, Kaa let out a sleepy yawn as he pulled himself out of his bed of coils, as he inspected his surroundings oh, he soon realized that there was something different about the room he was in. Looking back at the statue he noticed that the jewel was no longer in its mouth, much to his confusion. "Ssstrange… did someone sssteal it while I was resssting?" He mused to himself, however after a couple of seconds of thinking he decided that it wasn't really his problem, at least whoever took it to didn't bother him while he was asleep...

As the Serpent slithered out of the temple, he was greeted by the warmth of the Sun. "Hmm… I mussst have ssslept all night… oh well…" He mused to himself as he quickly slithered across a fallen log connecting the temple to the land and into the depths of the jungle, his growling stomach already reminding him that he hadn't had a fulfilling meal since that Mouse.

Slithering into one of the trees, he considered making his way towards the Bandar-Log and snatching up one of the many Monkeys in the area… until he spotted a small Mongoose scurrying about a small clearing.

"Why hello there…" Kaa smiled and lowered himself from the branches, licking his lips as he approached the startled animal.

"Please! D-D-Don't eat me!" The Mongoose stammered as she backed away nervously. "I don't taste very good, really! I'd just give you a stomach ache!"

"Oh, don't sssay that." Kaa smirked as he circled around the timid mammal, trapping her before she could have a chance to flee. "You don't give yourself enough credit, I'm sure you're deliciousss…" He chuckled, preparing to hypnotize his prey...

"I… I look… delicious…?" The mongoose repeated, tilting her head as she started approaching the predator. "Yes… I… I am delicious…"

Kaa blinked at this, did this creature just…?

Curiously, he slithered closer to the mammal, noticing that she didn't seem to register the danger she was in any longer. "How odd… you… want to be my meal?"

"Yes… I want to be… your meal…" She repeated in an entranced tone.

The serpent was puzzled by this abrupt change in attitude from his prey… until he noticed something off about her eyes...

Unlike when he used his natural hypnosis, her eyes were still normal. However, her pupils seemed to be pulsating in a rhythmic motion, they'd shrink down, then expand outwards, then shrink down again, then expand again...

She was definitely under his spell, there was no denying that... but what puzzled him as he had no idea what had triggered it… unless…

"You want to give in…" Kaa stated.

"I… want to… give… in…" She repeated.

The Serpent smirked as he continued. "You want to become a part of me, forever…" He chuckled as he lowered his tail towards his entranced prey, shaping it to form a sort of stairway, the tip of his tail making a "come-hither" gesture to her, which she willingly obeyed.

"...become... part of… you… f-forever…" The entranced Mongoose repeated, walking up his body. As she reached the top, she found the Serpent hungrily gazing at her.

"Good… now then… enter my mouth… enter your dessstiny…" He commanded as he opened his mouth, allowing the mongoose to slide herself right into his gaping maw. His prey offered no resistance whatsoever and obediently entered his mouth. Kaa slowly lifted his head into the air, relishing the taste as the poor mongoose slid down his throat, the Snake took one last swallow, and his prey was now nothing more than lump traveling down into his awaiting stomach.

"MmmHmm~ deliciousss…" He chuckled, thanking whatever fortune had decided to smile upon him this day. His memories drifted back to that strange jewel he had come across in the temple and it all became clear, the jewel had somehow granted his voice the ability to radiate a strange new power, one that could bend the minds of his prey to his will.

'This is what I've been missing.' He thought to himself as he glanced at the bulge in his coils. 'My eyes and coils may have been my greatest strength, but now my voice can truly have a commanding presence in this jungle!'

He was quickly snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing a familiar voice not too far away. Kaa smirked as he slithered back into the trees, he may have already eaten, but there was far more "fun" to be had with this new power...

The Serpent licked his lips as he slithered through the branches, his yellow eyes watching as Bagheera stormed through the jungle, grumbling to himself in frustration. From what the Snake could gather apparently the Man-Cub had frustrated him to his breaking point.

Kaa hissed in delight, this was the moment to strike!

As tempted as he wished to use his hypnotic eyes straight away, he knew he'd have to properly get the hang of his new hypnotic voice. It'd be much better to draw it out… if only for the pleasure of watching the Panther's resistance slowly melt away. If there was one thing he enjoyed, it was seeing his prey struggle to maintain control before he took their will from them completely...

"Well, well, well… if it isn't my friend Bagheera…"

Startled by Kaa's sudden presence, the Panther quickly shut his eyes, already prepared to flee if the situation turned dire. "What do you want Kaa?"

"Oh? I can't sssimply meet with an old friend?" Kaa asked in an almost hurt tone, more amused by Bagheera's attempt to resist him. "Besssidesss, you look ssso ssstresssed, you really need to relax… and I can help you with that."

"That's not happening Kaa." Bagheera firmly replied, keeping his eyes shut tight, knowing all too well how easily Kaa could entrance him if given the chance. Some time ago, he'd been able to fight off the hypnotic influence of Kaa's eyes, but over time, several hypnotic encounters with the Serpent had left him highly receptive to his charms, to the point where he fell under his spell even faster than Mowgli.

"Awww, are you a ssscared, Bagheera?" He heard Kaa chuckle as he slowly backed away, he could tell by the movements of Kaa's voice that the snake was circling around him, trying to trap him. "...and here I thought you enjoyed being under my ssspell lasssst time. The beautiful colorsss granting your mind total blisss... "

"N-No, that... that sounds... g-good…?" Bagheera stammered as he became more fixed on the gentle, compelling tone of his voice. Something about how Kaa spoke was just so… alluring, he felt compelled to listen further…

"Yesss, that'sss it... jussst relax, remember how good my hypnosisss feelsss…" Kaa hissed, deciding to wear down his resistance even further by giving more vivid details of their last encounter, hindering his focus even further. "...remember how easssily you fell under my ssspell… you've alwayssss wanted to be under my control…"

Bagheera mentally tried to fight off the trance but despite him keeping his eyes firmly shut, he still felt compelled to listen to the Serpent, his thoughts on the Snake shifting and changing with every whisper and command that came from the Snake's mouth. "Tha… that's… not… t-true…"

Unknown to the Panther, underneath his closed eyelids his pupils had started pulsating, shrinking down, expanding outwards, then shrinking again, then expanding again, shrinking and expanding, shrinking and expanding...

It was only a matter of time before he became a mindless puppet dancing to the serpent's tune, practically willing to do whatever he demanded.

"Oooh, but it isss… in fact…" Kaa's tail slithered down from above, swiftly wrapping around his neck before dragging the helpless Panther towards him as if he were on a leash. "...let'sss pick up where we left off lassst time, ssshall we~?" Kaa asked with a sneaky smile on his face as he watched his old friend was slowly pulled towards him.

"N-No… Kaa…" Bagheera pleaded as he was pulled closer to the Serpent, desperate to resist yet helpless to disobey. "I… I don't… w-want…"

"Yesss you do… jussst let yourssself go…" Kaa hissed into his ear, fogging up his mind and sapping away his free will as he fell deeper and deeper into a hypnotized state. Bagheera tried to growl in protest, only for it to come out as a relaxed purr. Amused by his weak attempt at defiance, Kaa snickered sinisterly as he slithered a little closer to the Panther. "You know you want thisss…" He cooed, brushing his lips against Bagheera's muzzle.

"P-please Kaa-MMMPH!"

Bagheera's vain protests were cut off by Kaa's lips locking with his own, his eyes shot open in surprise… and were completely captivated as the mesmerizing colors emerged from Kaa Snake's eyes. Kaa's forked tongue entered his mouth, wrapping around Bagheera's tongue and persuading him to open his eyes further. "Look in my eyesss… and lisssten to my voice…" Kaa whispered as their lips parted, forcing his dimmed mind to obey the Serpent and submit to his will.

Slowly but surely everything else became meaningless as Bagheera was overwhelmed by both Kaa's hypnotic gaze and alluring voice. "Y-Yes…" Bagheera sighed as his limbs started to relax, his gaze following the swaying Serpent with rapt attention, the more he looked into those eyes and listened to the alluring tone of his voice, the more his mind drowned in the sea of life bliss. "Look… listen…"

"Yesss Bagheera, you won't resssissst..." Kaa commanded as his tail slowly wrapped around the rest of his neck before moving on to his waist. "Let go, sssurrender to me..."

"I… I wi-will… not… resist…" The entranced Panther stuttered as the soothing rings enchanted and seduced him into blissful obedience and submissiveness. While his pupils continued to pulsate, the Snake's colorful rings still erupted from the center of his eyes, each pulse sending out one ring after another. "…sur-surrender… to… Kaa..."

"Very good my friend. You know you belong to me… you can trussst me..." Kaa said with a satisfied smirk as he watched a serene smile spread across the Panther's face, his tail now close enough to wrap around his shaft. "Lussst for me…"

"Trust… you…" He sighed in a content tone, his mind having stopped fighting Kaa's overwhelming influence and fell into a peaceful trance, the poor Panther could only sigh in delight as he felt his mind slipping even further into the abyss of pleasure. "L-lust for… y-you-ohhh!" Bagheera moaned as he felt the light touch of Kaa's tail brush against his cock, already he could feel himself getting erect as the Snake's tail started wrapping around his cock from the base, his loins burning with the need for release as Kaa squeezed it gently.

"You realissse it now, don't you?" Kaa asked as his tail began to slide up and down the length of his cock, rolling over the head and rubbing down to the base. "You were alwaysss meant to be my pet…"

"Y-Yesss… K-Kaa…" Bagheera gasped as he started bucking his hips, his mind now accepting every word from Kaa as the objective truth, his concerns and worries nothing more than a distant memory. "A-Always… your pet…"

"Yesss Bagheera, embrace your lussst for me... let your mind sssubmit to me…" Kaa hissed as the last mental barriers of his prey slowly dwindled away with each passing second, stroke after stroke, pulse after pulse...

Until finally…

*PING*

His body and mind relaxed completely as his pupils almost shrank into nothingness and the colors engulfed his eyes completely, the tiny dots at the center pulsating rapidly as a goofy smile spread across his face.

Kaa hissed in amusement as the Panther surrendered to him. "Good kitty." He chuckled as he shifted his body until his thickest coils were lowered down in front of the entranced Panther's face, his own throbbing member now on full display. "Now it's time to pleassse your new massster, you may ssstart off by sssucking my cock, nice and sssslow... you want thisss, don't you?"

"Y-Yesss…" Bagheera moaned weakly in pleasure as he nodded, helpless to refuse as his head was held in place while the Serpent pressed the tip of his cock against his lips. Without any resistance, he opened his mouth for his master, letting Kaa's tip slide into his warm, wet mouth.

"Mmmmhmmm… oooohhh yesss…." Kaa moaned out as Bagheera began sucking him off, licking his rod sensually as he took it into his mouth, eagerly relishing in the delicious taste of his fleshy cock. "Enjoying the tassste, Hmmm?" Kaa teased as he moved down between his legs and towards his shaft, which was already fully erect and leaking pre-cum as his mouth was violated by the Snake. "Well then, it'sss only fair that I get a tassste of you, isssn't it?"

Without waiting for a response, Kaa released Bagheera's cock from the grip of his tail and began to suck him off, giving the tip a slow lick to clean off the pre-cum. Bagheera moaned around his master's cock as he instinctively bucked his hips once more, pushing more of his cock into Kaa's mouth. The Snake's tail-tip brushed up against Bagheera's rear as Kaa happily took his cock into his mouth inch by inch while the Panther began to slowly thrust back and forth. As Kaa's tongue wrapped around his member he took the Panther's length all the way to the base, carefully pushing his tailend deep into Bagheera's anus.

The Panther continued eagerly sucking off the Snake, intoxicated by the taste of his cock, the smoothness of his scales, the gentle caress of his tongue… and his dextrous, scaly tail slowly slithering into his as, gently moving back and forth, in and out...

His tongue slipped and slid up and down Kaa's length, twirling around the tip in an attempt to further please his master, an act Kaa clearly appreciated as he rewarded him by thrusting his tail in and out of his ass at a much faster pace, pushing deeper and deeper with each thrust.

The length of Kaa's shaft soon reached far enough to touch the back of Bagheera's throat as he started thrusting faster and deeper into the Panther's mouth, the Serpent's yellow eyes almost rolling to the back of his head as kept fucking his mouth.

Then, the second Kaa's tail reached his sweet spot, Bagheera let out a loud groan around his master's cock as his anal muscles clenched tightly around the tail-tip and bucked his hips violently, pouring his seed into Kaa's waiting maw. Despite the Snake's cheeks swelling up a little he happily swallowed every last drop. "Mmm… Deliciousss..." Kaa whispered as he finally released his cock from his mouth, giving the tip a playful little flick with his tongue before turning his attention to his slave, who was still sucking him.

"Ssso good at sssucking me off… and ssso obedient…" He gasped in pleasure as he withdrew his tail from the Panther's ass and whispered into his ear. "Keep going, and I'll… reward you-oohh!" Kaa moaned out as he felt his the happily putting even more effort into pleasing his master, the scales slapped against his face over and over as he adoringly suckled on his master's member.

Kaa's body soon began to shudder, already feeling his own climax fast approaching, his coils fastened around Bagheera's head, Kaa buried his throbbing dick deep into the Panther's mouth as he blew his load deep into his mouth, pumping and shooting thick strands of cum deep into his throat. Bagheera's cheeks swelled up while a few strands leaked out of the sides of his lips and dribbled down his chin, but despite this, he continued gulping down as much of his master's cum as possible.

"Yesss Bagheera, ssswallow it all." Kaa commanded as he slipped his cock out of Bagheera's cum-filled mouth gazed down upon the satisfied Panther with cum rolling down his chin. "Sssuch a good kitty…" Kaa cooed in satisfaction as his own cock began to soften, slowly retracting into his slit.

Relaxed and completely spent, Kaa's coils unwound from the branch above, forming a bed of coils for the Panther. "Now climb into my niccce, sssmooth coilsss my pet… ressst with me…" He commanded, raising his tail tip up into the Panther's vision and curling it back and forth in a come-hither motion beckoning the entranced Panther to follow.

Bagheera nodded obediently as he climbed into the coil-bed, loving the smoothness of his master's scales rubbing against his fur, the coils then swiftly wrapped around his body, giving him a tender squeeze. As he drifted off into a deep slumber, Bagheera sighed contently, it felt as if these very coils were his home now, and he never wanted to leave…

As he awakened, Bagheera found himself staring at the night sky, so peaceful, so calm, and the feeling of Kaa's coils just made it all the better…

...wait.

Suddenly memories of the Snake filled his mind and he quickly tried to pull himself out of his coils, only for the Snake to tighten his grip. "Going sssomewhere, Bagheera?" Kaa smirked as he towered above him with a satisfied smirk.

Bagheera immediately closed his eyes once more and pressed them together as if his life depended on it. "P-Please Kaa…" The Panther pleaded weakly. "...d-don't-"

"-eat you?" Kaa finished for him with an amused chuckle. While before he would have consumed him right on the spot, now he had much bigger plans, and Bagheera living was more… beneficial to him. "You really think I would jussst eat my former cub-friend? Do you really think me ssso dishonorable?" He asked in an almost hurt tone.

"Y-You tried to eat Mowgli-"

"Ahh, but I didn't." The Serpent cut him off, pressing his tail-tip against his lips to silence him. "You sssee, I wanted to ssshow him what life in the jungle would truly be like if he wasss not under ssso much protection from the lawsss." Kaa lied as his coils began pulsating around Bagheera's body, relaxing him in their grasp while his hypnotic voice did its work. "I sssimply meant to ssscare him ssso he would no longer feel sssafe and feel he needed to get to the village of man as quickly as possssible. Honessstly, I wasss trying to help you."

Upon hearing this, Bagheera's eyelids rose, only stopping halfway as a wave of pressure crawled over his mind… only to soon be plagued with guilt as Kaa's soothing, alluring voice planted the seeds of lust and obedience within his mind. 'What was I thinking?' He thought to himself, ashamed of his actions. "I'm… I'm so sorry…" Bagheera apologized, his pupils pulsating slightly. "I… I shouldn't have assumed you only had bad intentions…"

"You need not worry Bagheera, all isss forgiven…" Kaa hissed as he brought his head closer to the Panther's. "...and asss long asss you obey me, we can avoid thisss sssituation repeating…"

Just as before, Bagheera's mind was flooded with memories of how great it felt to serve Kaa once more. "Y-Yes Kaa…" He sighed contently, the fact that he had been forgiven by his master putting his mind at ease. "C-can I do anything… to make it up to you…?" He asked in an almost pleading tone.

Kaa chuckled at how devoted he seemed to be, snuggling up to his new slave. "Jussst ressst with me for now, sssleep and ssshare your body heat with me." The Snake hissed, giving the Panther a small glimpse of his hypnotic spirals. "Resssst with me…jussst with me…" He sang as the Panther slowly nodded off.

As the two of them rested, Kaa found his thoughts drifting back to the strange jewel that granted him this new power... and soon started wondering just how far it could take him…
