Emi's movements were perfect reinactments of simian movements. She'd spent some time with the island's ape and monkey populations, as well as some beastmen. Acting like a monkey while keeping her dignity came naturally to her. She ran up the trunk of the tree, walked out onto a branch and squatted there, making more monkey noises. Feeling Kaa's tail pull on her, she kept going.

Soon they came across a palm with bananas, just as Kaa promised. "You are a good climber, Emi. Go and get some bananas. I will save you if you fall down" - the snake pointed to the tree, preparing to catch Emi in case something went wrong.

Emi squatted, then sprung from her spot, landed on the branch, and grabbed a banana. It was not a human-made banana, but a wild banana. Taking one off the tree, she opened the banana and bit into it. It tasted sweet and tangy, but crunchy. Wild bananas are full of seeds, unlike the human-modified bananas found in grocery stores. Most wild fruit share very little with fruit from the grocery store.

Kaa knew how exactly were the jungle bananas different from the mainland ones, so he slithered up the tree and coiled Emi's waist again. "Eat as much as you need, but do not go too far" - he spoke, sliding his soft tail against the girl's back.

She only ate two bananas, then stopped as if she was full. As soon as she felt Kaa's tail wrapping around her, she stopped acting like a primate, the silly grin returning. However, when Kaa didn't wrap his tail around her, she jumped to another branch and proceeded to walk on it on all fours. Then she dropped, but held on with all fours. She was still a primate in her head.

"Now, jump through the branches, climb them up and climb them down. I will keep you ssafe in cassse ssomething goes wrong" - Kaa was speaking truth; his coil ring around Emi's body would keep her safe no matter what happened. The snake put the jungle girl up several branches high and tried to preserve her safety.

Emi let go of the branch she was on and landed on the one just beneath her. Then she jumped, strong jungle-raised legs propelling her upwards at another branch. She grabbed the branch, pulled herself up and squatted, lingering. After a few seconds passed, she jumped off that branch, grabbed onto another one and pulled herself onto that one.

"Yesss, right now you are a monkey, Emi. But every animal hasss it's own enemy, ssseee? That black ape in front of you? It wantsss to harm you, Emi. Would you like him to do that to you?" - Kaa spoke a soft lie as he turned Emi towards her imaginary enemy. Smiling cutely, the serpent hissed "It is still here, preparing to lunge at you. Would you like to cower in fear... or fight back?"
The game was going on, gaining several new twists and quirks. Kaa was quite a master at these tricks; anything for his hypnosis subjects, after all.

When Kaa turned her around, she saw the imaginary ape in front of her. Baring her teeth, she dropped to the branch, crouching, baring her claws like fingers. She was no longer a monkey, but back to being a jungle girl ready to defend herself from danger. With Kaa's tail gently, barely holding her back, she roared in challenge at the imaginary enemy. it charged at her, roaring, making itself look as intimidating as possible. She rose for her crouched, clenched a fist and punched the enemy in the stomach. Her fists made a smacking sound coming in contact with the ape's stomach, in reality a meaty section of Kaa's tail that wouldn't hurt him.

For Kaa it felt like a massage, he didn't feel any pain or discomfort while being punched repeatedly. "Ah, it would not give up so easssily, Emi. You have to try harder" - the serpent gently moved his coils towards the jungle girl, pushing her back. But thanks to the snake's tail, the girl would not fall off the branch. "Aw, the ape isss ssso ssstubborn. You have to teach it a little lessson" - the serpent reassured Emi and was rooting for her, putting his tail up again as a punching pag.

Emi bent over, spread her arms out, lunged at the ape, tackled it and threw her arms around its bulk like a rugby player would. She wrestled with it, trying to throw it off the side of the branch. The ape pushed her down on her back, but she rolled away, holding onto the branch and the ape at the same time. She swung up back onto the branch, still holding onto the ape (again, a bulk of Kaa's body). Roaring, summoning her strength, she lifted the ape and threw it onto the branch.
In reality, it was that same bulk of Kaa's body gently hitting the branch.

Kaa did not even flinch as his body was kicked and punched and grappled more and more. "Ahhh, you are doing very good, Emi... The ape might give up ssssoooon if you do your bessst" - he hissed smoothly, allowing the girl to hit his tail more and more. The serpent felt no pain, no discomfort. It was the opposite, in fact - the massage was very relaxing; exactly what Kaa needed to take a good rest. At the same time, the tail started to go forth at Emi more frequently, as if making the whole fight a lot more challenging. But the jungle girl would win, the snake was sure of that.

The ape started gaining the upper hand, pushing her back towards the trunk of the tree, but Emi locked spread her legs, locking them in blade and getting a firm grip with her bare feet. As the ape pushed, she pushed back with all her might, until she finally got the momentum she needed, pushing the ape forward and onto its back. Then, she lifted the ape and threw it off the branch. Victorious, she roared. A few days later, after Kaa’s spell wore off, her brother Makoa would ask her about that roar. She would laugh and say she was just having fun with Kaa, which she was doing right now.
The fight over, she stood ramrod straight, staring off into nothing, the grin returning with the rings pulsating in her eyes. She was sweating, and visibly breathing heavily.

Kaa smiled with pride, watching Emi emerging victorious in her imaginary battle. Smiling with joy, he lifted his body back up to the branch, having sustained little if any bruises. "Congratulationsss, Emi... You are indeed a great fighter" - he spoke, observing Emi from all angles. "Oh, but it seems you are very tired... and ssweating too... Why don't you relaxx... and take quite a nap?" - the snake proposed an idea for his subject. He kept his coils from wrapping Emi up as he was waiting for her consent to do so.

"Yes, I'd love to," Emi replied. Being wrapped up and going to sleep sounded like heaven. She may have been under hypnosis, but her muscles were on fire and she was still trying to catch her breath. Some rest was just what she needed.
