Persona 4 TK: Rise

Return to Kusurguru Gyakutai Part II

O-O-O

“Risette! It’s so nice to have you in my clutches again,” Nashi laughed dramatically, as she began strapping Rise into her bondage. Tsukasa was rolling the camera and Chie was on the sidelines. They were all in a different room in the studio today, with a new set of bondage implements. Instead of the familiar stocks, Rise was in a different, more intense set of bondage today. Rise was sitting upright, with her legs stretched open and bound into black leather coverings that slightly reminded her off legwarmers. Her feet were free to wiggle, for now, but since her feet were spread so far apart it wasn’t like they could wiggle and cover each other much. Rise’s wrists had also been bound to her knees, so there was no chance of being able to defend herself.

“Welcome back, Risette… still as ticklish as before?”

“Well, you’ll have to see for yourself, won’t you?” Rise smiled, sticking her tongue out. Rise tested her bounds. She had requested a more intense set of bondage, suggesting that they surprise her and not tell her what she would be in till the day of the shoot, and she had to admit Kusurguru Gyakutai was living up to their reputation. She had stripped down to her underwear, and her bare inner thighs were lovingly exposed, with her stomach easily accessible too.

Her slender size five feet wiggled, as Nashi smiled at her over the top of Rise’s own pretty pedicured toes, which she had done in the same shade of her hair to match. “I hope you like it intense, because that’s what you’re getting today. Risette.”

Rise wiggled her feet anxiously, biting her lower lip as she felt Nashi’s fingers hover over them teasingly. Although Rise’s feet were spread apart from each other, Nashi was still able to stretch her arms and cover them both at the same time. Nashi held Rise in suspense for several moments, making Rise squeal cutely when she pressed her talon-like fingers against Rise’s sole but didn’t move them, just letting Rise shudder and wait for the tickling to begin.

“Come onnnnnn,” Rise pouted, as she felt Nashi rest all ten of her nails just below Rise’s quivering toes. “Don’t keep me weheheheheaiting!”

Just when Rise was finishing her sentence, Nashi struck, her nails begin to slowly trail downwards. Rise giggled, spluttering with laughter at the light touch despite herself. She had expecting a lightning-strike of ticklish sensations, and these light teases had caught her off-guard. Rise had quite forgotten how devilish Nashi’s long fingernails were, as her nails reached her heels before turning and going back up her arches and into her toes.
Nashi was using a feather-light touch, with just the tips of her nails making contact along the skin, so it felt almost like a maddening itch at times. Rise curled her toes down, fully-aware that once the toeties came into play she would lose that privilege, so she would have to use it as best she could for now, wrinkling her soles to try to hinder Nashi’s progress, but Nashi’s grin merely widened, and she moved away to focus on Rise’s left foot, all her nails returned to the heels that remain as smooth as before.

“I’ll be nice for now… just two fingers,” Nashi giggled, as she scratched the heel and the sides of Rise’s left foot with two scritching index fingers. Rise had always been bad at dealing with teasing, and her toes quickly sprang open, as Rise squealed. As soon as they did, one of Nashi’s hands shot up and grabbed hold of the big toe, holding them firmly and prying them back, forcing the sole taut. Nashi stopped tickling for a moment and gave Rise a malevolent smile. "Just one hand… two fingers… but if you laugh, I get to use more."
 
Rise felt laughter bubble up in her stomach as she felt those two fingers on her left foot, which was pulled taut and helpless.  "Hold it in… don’t laugh..."  Nashi’s voice teased, as she did everything she could so Rise couldn’t hold it in. The two evil fingernails traced circles, words and lines, fingertips and nails lightly scratching.  Rise whimpered a bit, quivering from repressed laughter, shaking her head. This was intense - her most ticklish feet being teased but unable to make a sound? Rise had to admit she herself wanted to know how long she could last. She was close to exploding when Nashi’s fingers ever so lightly scratched at the base of her toes, but somehow she managed to choke the laughter down.

"Awww, so cuuuute," Nashi said, as Rise let out a little gurgle. She had been teasing Rise’s feet slowly and teasingly, but now she her patience had worn thin and she wanted to her laughter. Nashi’s fingers flew wildly over Rise’s stretched arches, tickling quickly all over them with just two devastating fingers, but that was far too much for the ticklish pop starlet to take, and she burst into laughter.

"Look at what you've done!Now I get to use both hands, and all ten fingers," Nashi chuckled, as her fingers flew over Rise’s left foot, scribbling and scratching every inch of super-ticklish flesh.

“Gahahaahahaha! Nahahaahashi! Gohohohohoho Eahahahahasay!”

“I think you’ve gotten even more ticklish than last time, Risette, if that was even possible, but I wonder if your right foot is as ticklish too…”

Rise barely had a moment to catch her breath when Nashi’s focused ten-finger assault jumped to her right foot, finding spots where Rise hadn’t even realized she was ticklish, like was she spent a minute just teasing the instep of her foot, and watching her toes spasm and curl. Rise found herself missing the old stocks, just because it meant you could slump down and rest instead of having to sit up straight like she was in class. How she envied Chie for getting such comfy bondage…

---

“How could you miss those stocks?” Chie said. “They’re such evil devices!”

Rise shrugged. “It’s all relative.”

“Wow, Nashi sounds like she was out for blood,” Yu commented, sipping his drink.

“Yeah, I think she was annoyed from getting reprimanded. I guess to her it felt like getting revenge for me making that complaint for that unpronounceable safeword? Fair enough,” Rise said.

“Weren’t you mad?”

“Nah. I know you were watching over me, so never bad was going to happen,” Rise said, giving Chie a warm smile. The three of them all turned their heads as they heard an indignant snort coming from another table.

“Oh, please, Kusurguru Gyakutai is perfectly safe,” homeroom teacher Noriki Kashiwagi snorted, sitting a few tables away as she looked up from her bowl of ramen. The younger-looking man in the suit she was talking to looked apologetic, but the teacher continued, unabashed. “I’ve worked there as a model several times myself, all of them bestsellers,” the teacher bragged, tossing her light-brown hair back as she turned away to resume her conversation with her date, who noticeably now had a flush on his face.

Yu found himself imagining his homeroom teacher, still wearing that slightly unbuttoned, pink collared shirt that showed off her cleavage along with a dark purple skirt and black nylons. The fashionable open-toed heels she always wore to school lay discarded on the floor as a masked man scrubbed her nyloned soles with a hairbrush. The hairbrush scrubbed up and down, from the heel straight up to the squirming pedicured toes. His homeroom teacher was in the habit of dangling her heels from her nyloned feet and playing with her feet (whose toes were always painted an eye-catching pink) and shoes in general, and Yu had a sneaking suspicion it was less about comfort and more a calculated move to draw attention to herself from the young boys with their blossoming foot fetishes. Kashiwagi squealed, the same annoying high-pitch she always used when she wanted the class to be quiet, and the haughty teacher thrashed and writhed, her long brown hair whipping about as she spluttered and giggled, her pink-painted toes desperately curling and scrunching…

Kashiwagi’s disgusting personality made her very unlikable, but Yu found himself finding the idea of her being humbled in the stocks and laughing herself silly oddly arousing, and evidently, his body agreed with him. Trying to shake the image from his mind, he took a sip from his drink to steady himself.

“So you were saying, Rise?”

“Well, later I realized that was just the warm-up…”

---

Nashi didn’t focus her attack on Rise’s wiggling right foot as much, as soon she attacked both of Rise’s feet at the same time, sending the schoolgirl into fits of laughter. When she stopped, Rise had thought she earned a break, but within seconds of the foot-tickling stopping, Nashi’s fingers snapped forward to tickle Rise’s inner thighs. Rise hadn’t been sure if she had been ticklish there, as it was a spot that was rarely tickled, but she had her confirmation now.  Nashi’s fingernails gliding up and down from her thighs to her knees caused Rise to erupt in melodic laughter. After finishing the tickling with a flurry of scratches to her thighs, Nashi pulled back, and went to her shelf to get some tools.

“Now wasn’t that fun? A nice warm-up, huh?”

“That was… just the warm-up?” Rise panted, her eyes wide.

“Of course it was. We haven’t even used the brush yet or got out the babyoil,” Nashi chuckled. “But let’s start with this,” Nashi said, as she whipped out a blindfold, depriving Rise of the few tools at her disposal, the ability to see when the tickling was coming. Nashi paused again, to build up the suspense. Nashi was waiting, toying with her mind, and making Rise anticipate the ticklish attack that was to come. Rise could feel her heart pounding in her chest; her body feeling incredibly exposed and vulnerable, with the tight bonds only accentuating this acute sense of helplessness.

Now this was what she had signed up for.

“I can’t see anything!” Rise said, through her laughter as she felt Nashi’s fingers make contact with her inner thighs again, not her soles as she had been expecting.

“Feel pretty helpless, don’t ya?” Nashi said in a sing-along voice, as her fingers stroked and teased.
“Gah, Yehehehehes! Gohohohoho easyihihihihi!” Rise said, howling as Nashi dug into her thighs with her nails, bursting into a fresh bout of laughter.

“Okay, fine… I’ll go easy, but only if you cooperate,” Nashi said, placing her talons on Rise’s inner thighs threateningly till Rise nodded her head frantically.

“Good…” Nashi giggled, as she traced a finger down Rise’s shin, reaching for a new tickle tool. Rise immediately yelped as the new tool made its presence felt. It was a pair of large feathers, or at least that’s what they felt like, long wispy things, that traced and licked over her soles like giant fans that stroked her inner fire instead of cooling her. The feathers were so much softer than Nashi’s nails, and somehow that just made it even worse as Rise’s soles had grown accustomed to the fierce finger-scribbling attack that the lightness of each waft of the feather took her breath away.

“It tihihihihckles!” Rise gasped and giggled, her poor little feet flapped and wiggled, her feet trying to cross over to protect its twin, but the feet were far too spread apart. Her toes curled, trying to keep the feather from sweeping between and under them. Nashi was surprised to see that brushing over them was not enough of a torturous sensation that the stubby digits would spread open and flex, allowing the feather to get to the soft spots within, as that had certainly worked last time Rise was here, but it seemed Rise was putting up more a fight this time, possibly inspired by her tomboyish comrade watching her.

“I know it does… now be a good girl and unclench your toes… you said you would cooperate…” Nashi cooed, and after Rise bit her lip and giggled, for a bit, she obediently uncurled her toes, allowing the feather easy access to the remarkably sensitive undersides of her toes, and the ticklish flesh between them.

“You sahihihiaid you would go eahahaheasy tohohoho!” Rise cackled, as she continued to spread her toes and let Nashi whip the feathers between each of her toes, one at a time. “Gahahahaha, Not between my tohohoho plehehehease!”

“Okay, fine,” Nashi said, “but keep that foot steady for me…”

Rise felt the ghostly-light touch of the feather again, but to her surprise, Nashi kept her word, and it didn't touch between her toes, but rather the spot underneath them. Rise gasped at the ticklish sensations, and resisted the urge the tickled spot by clenching her toes. She wanted to know how long she could hold out.

Not very long was the answer, and after a few more moments of this mind-melting tantalizing of her toes, Rise clenched her toes shut, prompting Nashi to tut. Moments later, instead of the lightness of the feather she felt oil being lavished across her soles, and she barely had a moment to steady herself before Nashi’s nails came again, scribbling in her long arches till Rise’s laughter became frantic again. She had gotten so used to the lightness of the feathering that every little touch had driven her mad, so when Nashi’s nails returned it was a sensory overload, with the oil making things even slicker and even worse.

Rise’s toes sprang open again, like startled creatures, and Nashi immediately pounced, pulling the foot back so she could rake interruptedly up Rise’s smooth arches or down the entire length of the sole. Nashi took care not to spare Rise’s toes from this torment too, as she pulled back each toe  and scratched back and forth all around it for nearly a minute before moving on to the next toe in line.  

After the toe torment, Rise lay there panting, as she heard Nashi fiddling with her ticklish utensils, no doubt choosing another weapon in this battle to besiege’s Rise’s body with ticklish sensations. Rise was close to yielding, but she had to admit her recent brushes with Shadows put things into perspective. What was a little tickling compared to the real life and death battles with creatures from another world? If anything, this was practically therapeutic…

“Heheehehe, It is over alreheheheady?” Rise panted, as Nashi’s nails stopped. Her breath was wild, and her immaculately-styled hair would need combing later, but she wanted the tickling to continue right now as much as she wanted it to stop.

Rise jerked to the left as Nashi’s teasingly tapped her left thigh, and then jerked to the right as her right thigh was stroked.

“Say ahhh, Rise,”

Rise opened her mouth, expecting a drink of water, but instead a gag was shoved in her mouth, and she cursed herself for telling Tsukasa and Nashi they were free to surprise her.

“I’ve always wanted to try tickling you with a gag. I wonder what your laughter will sound like? I’ve always liked it when they sound… panicked, now where was I?” Nashi pondered. “I remember now… you asked if it was over? But I haven’t even tickled your tummy…” Nashi’s fingernails immediately pitter-patted against Rise’s heaving stomach like raindrops, each touch making the former pop starlet squirm and twitch. “I almost forgot how ticklish you were here!” Nashi tittered, as she made large spidering motions to tease as much surface area of Rise’s belly as she could. Unfortunately for Nashi, Rise’s bondage meant she could twist away somewhat from Nashi’s roving fingers,  so Nashi quickly gave up tickling her stomach, after a brief prod at Rise’s underarms and a quick tweak of her ribs. Rise’s laughter sounded more frantic with the gag on, and all her words become garbled as she laughed and laughed, it all sounding like mmphs and mmphs.

“The brush was always your favourite though, I remember… ” Nashi said, Rise could sense the grin in her voice, as her footsteps went to the shelf again. Rise’s heart was pounding in her chest, her toes clenching in anticipation as she held her breath, wondering if she could hold out…

---

Rise paused for effect, and then smiled. “I’m afraid, I need to use the bathroom, so let me keep you in suspense a bit longer, Yu-senpai,” she said, with a sweet smile.

“I need to go too,” Chie nodded “Be right back,” she said, as she stood up and followed Rise. “You know I was really worried when you put that gag on! How would I know if you had enough!”

“Oh, you would know,” Rise said dismissively.“Use your woman’s intuition!”

“Huh, why do girls always need to travel to the bathroom in packs?” Yu said to himself with a smile as he watched them leave. As they disappeared round the corner, Yu checked his phone, and right when he thought about texting Yosuke, he heard the sound of coquettish giggling.

He turned his head to the source of the noise, and saw Ebi blushing and giggling as her right foot was in Kou’s lap and the dark-haired boy was teasing it lightly with his shortly-trimmed fingernails. Yu couldn’t help but smile at the display, not just because it was a nice sight to see pretty girls laughing as their feet were being tickled. He knew that Ebi had always had issues about trust and security, and maybe he was overanalyzing, but he felt that the gesture of Ebi voluntarily letting Kou tickle her like this was a beautiful sign of trust, of being willing to expose a vulnerable part of yourself.  He also knew from experience that Ebi’s feet were deathly ticklish, such as when he had been dragged into waiting with Ebi at a pedicure parlour. It looked like Kou was the one accompanying her to frequent pedicures now, as Ebi’s pale unblemished feet looked soft and flawless as always, her short, neatly trimmed toenails painted with a glossy purple polish. The fashionista also wore white sandals with pink trim that fitted very nicely with her pink skirt and short-sleeved shirt.

“I didn’t know you were so ticklish, Ebi-chan,” Kou smiled, as he gently wiggled Ebi’s big toe. “Are you sure about auditioning for Kusurguru Gyakutai?”

Ebi’s face was twitching as Kou teased her sensitive toes, but she still gave him a warm smile and contained her giggles enough to answer. “Being tihihiticklish is the idea, isn’t it?” Ebi said, as she fiddled with her striped scarf to try and take her mind off the teasing, roving fingertips.

When Kou’s fingers slid down Ebi’s high arches, the brunette gave a great snort and pulled her feet back off Kou’s lap. For a moment, Kou looked startled, and Ebi looked a bit embarrassed, but Yu was happy to see what she did next. She lifted her other foot up, which was still clad in her trendy pink and white sandals which matched her outfit, and began to unfasten the buckle so now both pale slender feet were bare. She propped them in Kou’s lap with a friendly smile. “Go easy on them, Kou-chan,” she giggled, twirling a finger around her long, light brown hair.

Yu watched as a surprised Kou smiled, and then began to lightly flutter his fingers over the sensitive soles that had been bestowed upon him, as the two of them continued to have pleasant conversation intermingled with Ebi’s giggles. It seemed like just about everyone had been listening in on their conversation. Had they really been talking that loudly?

Listening to Ebi giggle however, Yu couldn’t help but think that she too would make a very good tickle-model as Kusurguru Gyakutai. When he had first meet Ebi, he had only ever heard her laugh when she was mocking someone, and it was a laughter full of spite and scorn, but this tickle-induced laughter was sweeter as if reflecting how she learned from the type of person she was before and resolved to be better.  Yu closed his eyes for a minute as he envisioned Ebi strapped in tight bondage, giggling hysterically as feathers kissed up and down her beautiful bare soles, her prettily-pedicured purple toes pulled back by toe-ties so there was nothing she could do but squeal in laughter as the soft feather slid in and out of her toes repeatedly.

Yu opened his eyes just as the two girls reappeared.

“So what were you thinking about, Senpai?” Rise asked, with a cheeky grin on her face.

“Just resting my eyes,” Yu smiled. “Where were we?”

---

“Your toes have been so bad,” Nashi said, smiling as she gently poked at Rise’s big toe, making her squeal. “They’ll have to be restrained for their disobedience.” Toeties were added to Rise’s already significant bondage, denying Rise even the chance to scrunch up her toes. Now her soles were totally at Nashi’s mercy, and that did not bode well for Rise considering Nashi was famously merciless. “I have missed hearing you squeal though,” Nashi said, and Rise was relieved that at least the gag was coming out. What could she say, she liked being able to express her laughter!

And express her laughter she did.

“Bahaahahaha!” Rise howled, as the first stroke up her foot from the brush already had her laughing frantically.

“If you’re laughing so much, you must be liking it…” Nashi smiled.

“Nohohohoho more!” Rise found herself howling reflexively as the brush punished her soles.

“Did you say more? More it is…” Nashi giggled, scrubbing even more vigorously. Rise had to admit, when the fingers were caressing her feet and the feathers were lapping, the tickling was bearable, even if her laughter made it sound like she was enduring some ungodly torment. The brushes always pushed her to the edge of her limits though, as for the first time today, Rise found herself genuinely squirming in her bounds. All the tickling was begin to fray her spirit, and after thrashing vigorously at first, responding to every change in pressure from the way Nashi was scrubbing her soles, arching her back when the brush scrubbed her arch, spasming when the toes were struck, and tossing her head from side-to-side when the ball of the foot was the target.

Eventually she lay there, panting for breath as even her ticklish copper-painted toes barely twitched as the brush meandered along her sole.

What happened next was something so unexpected it through her for a loop. She felt a light fluttering feeling creep through her legs and around her thighs, filling her with conflicting sensations. The lightness around her legs was setting her stomach ablaze, while the scrubbing at her feet was dousing it as quick as it was being set.

It had to be Nashi doing something mischievous. “Nahahahahashi! Whahahahat are you dohohhoing!”

“Wouldn’t you like to know,” Nashi just giggled in response.

The lightness that licked along her thigh felt familiar, and Rise put it together. Nashi was feathering her thigh while brushing her feet at the same time! It was so cruel, yet so delicious at the same time… simultaneous sensations, opposing yet so conflicting. Rise found moans slipping into her laughter as the feather grew more and more bold. Rise oohed and aahed, remembering that Chie was still there, but damn, it felt good. Just when she felt like she was about to explode did that fateful word escape her limits. She couldn’t believe she was going to say it, but she couldn’t let it happen, not here, not in front of Chie and not in front of the Camera.

“Red…”

---

“What can I say,” Rise giggled, fluttering her eyelashes at Yu while Chie rolled her eyes. “I’m saving myself for a special guy.”


“Yeah, right,” Chie said, crossing her arms. “You just needed to pee, didn’t you?”

Rise’s mouth fell open, scandalized by Chie's remark, and immediately scribbled both hands into Chie’s sides, making the tomboy squeak.

Yu smiled, sipping his drink coolly as he watched Chie retaliate, tickling under Rise’s arms. He wondered if Yukiko or Naoto would be interested in working at Kuruguru Gyakutai too. He closed his eyes to imagine it, the sound of Chie and Rise’s laughter music to his ears.
