Emiko was so helpless after falling into the trance that she could do nothing to oppose the snake. The serpent was able to easily start winding coils around her body without the faintest hint of resistance. And it only took a few moments for Kaa to form a strong cocoon around Emiko's upper body and left her up off of the branch.
As she was lifted upwards, Emiko's legs just...sort of dangled in the air limply. She couldn't quite control them or anything about herself in this current moment. In fact, all she seemed capable of doing in the moment was staring out into space blankly and smiling that dopey grin... Like Selena before her, she couldn't speak or act on her own accord. Trance had a way of making her a docile mess and...that was what was happening now...
Unfortunately for Kaa, Selena had been observing this scene very carefully doing as little to draw attention to herself as possible. She watched calmly as Kaa wound his coils effortlessly around her body and lifted her up off the branch. Like Emiko earlier, she was astonished just how...compliant and helpless the snake's catch was after they laid eyes on his own. It made her furious to think she had fallen into that having known full well from the local village what Kaa was capable of. And after having fallen into a trance herself...she was determined to make Kaa pay...
Having seen enough, Selena finally rose from the spot where she sat and snapped a rather large limb attached to the branch she was on. The moment she had this limb in hand she waited for the serpent to refocus his attention on her, and it didn't take long for that to happen... The moment Kaa looked at her with the intent of firing his rings again, Selena let him have it. She swung the limb like a club with both hands aiming to hit him on the head without restraint. Unlike Emiko who tried to stop things with her word, Selena was going to stop it through force meaning that the blow, if it connected, would rattle the serpent's skull. There was no hold back in Selena's merciless swing.

Kaa did not expect Selena to wake up from his trance so fast, and now it was time for him to pay for that stupid mistake. Selena's way of solving the problem proved to be much more effective than Emiko's, and the clubbing attack was successful. The snake's focus was thrown into chaos, his eyes were no longer emitting any spirals whatsoever. He had no time for that. The blow was now strong enough to knock him out, but it did thwart his attempt at eating the Japanese girl alive and whole. The strike also caused Kaa's coils to loosen, dropping Emiko right on the tree branch. Fortunately, she did not fall off since the coils were used as a cushion for her.
The python was still busy recovering from the blow, but that did not mean he couldn't dodge any subsequent attacks at all. If he managed to get into his right mind and start thinking logically, perhaps he could still make up for his mistake and have a two course dinner that evening. But he was so naive. The snake had no clue what had he brought upon himself.
"W... what... do you think you are doing...?" - he could barely mutter out in his dazed and disoriented state, a far cry from the calculating and cold manipulator he was merely minutes ago.

The strike ended up making contact with Kaa and seemed to drastically turn the tables back on him yet again. It not only stopped the snake from trying to emit rings to entrance Selena again, but...it sort of freed Emiko of her own predicament as well...
The cocoon containing Emiko just suddenly went slack, and the mesmerized girl was dropped onto the branch with a rather hard thud-sound. Thankfully for both her and Kaa, the coils did lessen the impact and prevented her from being too hurt from the fall. But...like with Serena earlier, the blow had severely jolted her from a full trance. And just like Serena, the confused girl found herself swaying about confused with a dazed expression on her face and the rings within her eyes slowing down to a crawl. However...unlike Serena who didn't seem to let Kaa know she was waking, Emiko wasn't...quite as quiet...
"...O-oh, w-wha...? W-what's...g-going...o-on...?" She lightly asked, unsure of what was happening... It was lucky for him he had just tranced her meaning her state was still fresh... If he was careful...there was a chance he could at least turn one of his two fronts around...
As for Selena though...she was furious at this point. She didn't exactly let loose to hit the snake right on again, but it was obvious how she was feeling from the scowl on her face. She did show the creature a decent amount of respect by taking a step or two back carefully. But her arms were once more in position ready for another swing if the snake tried anything to her...
"What do I think I'm doing? What do you think YOU are doing?" Selena asked, tightening the grip on her makeshift club. "I don't know what the heck you did to me or...to her, but it isn't happening again."

This time, Selena was the one who made a mistake of trying to attack Kaa with words instead of brute force. The blow from the makeshift club did not impact the jungle predator that much, and soon enough he raised his head and looked at the village girl with nothing but bitterness in his eyes. But soon enough that feeling was replaced with a mixture of despair and confusion as Selena's adversary gave a panicked smile. But deep inside, he was not done yet. Kaa was not the one who would give up so easily.
"Wait, man-cub... Before you sstrike me again... May we talk like ccivilizzzed creaturesss?" - the snake asked Selena a question, his face became more confident. He needed to put the recent catch back to sleep as quickly as he could. Thankfully, he was still close to Emiko, so perhaps there could be a way out of this situation?
Using the small window of time he had, the python quickly brought the Japanese girl closer to his gaze. His eyes began to emit spirals once again, still looking into Emiko's dazed face. Kaa did not want to risk getting hurt again, so he was hoping this trick could buy him extra time.
"Pleasse go to sssleeep... the lesss you know, the better"
Then he turned his hypnotic eyes off and turned back to Selena, a seemingly saddened and guilt-ridden smile coming back to his face in an instant. In his head, the serpent began to make up a new plan, using Selena's hesitation to his advantage.
"Sssee? I mean no harm to thisss man-cub. Now, put your weapon down"

Selena wasn't likely to strike the serpent again so carelessly if he had backed down, but...Kaa didn't exactly do that. Nor did he make any real advances to try and go after her again. Instead, he simply implored Selena to wait and talk to him like they were civilized creatures. Funny request coming from a snake that had just done...weird things to both her and Emiko without fully disclosing his intentions...
All the same, Kaa was given the space he needed to secure at least one of his catches. Despite the daze she was in, Emiko's body was effortlessly scooped off of the ground and brought back towards the snake again. There was a momentary whimper of displeasure to this as she just...didn't understand what was going on. But seconds after that, she saw the snake's eyes again and...everything faded back once again...
Emiko's eyes opened wide to take in the spirals from Kaa's eyes with the reinforcements causing the rings within her own eyes to speed up once again. It took very little time for the trance to deepen itself. And then came the command; Kaa telling the Japanese girl to just go to sleep with knowing little being for the best. So happy to oblige, Emiko slowly allowed her swiftly swirling eyes to close and a wide grin to spread over her lips once more. As she drifted off to sleep per the serpent's command, she...found herself remarkably comfy in the half body cocoon. Enough to nestle into the coils around her neck and to let out a contented sigh before obeying fully and drifting off to sleep.
It was a rather swift process that Selena didn't quite comprehend. But...somehow seeing the snake just look at Emiko, telling her to sleep, and girl doing exactly that didn't exactly spark confidence that the snake was anything but a lying, sly creature. There was no way she was going to drop her weapon and trust the creature meaning her defense was air-tight.
"...No way am I putting this down... Not til I'm absolutely certain." Selena firmly spoke, clinging even tighter to her makeshift club. She wouldn't swing it again carelessly, but...was ready to at a moment's notice... "...I know you're up to something. You...did something to me not long ago at the river, and to her just now. What did you do, and what is this? Tell me, now..."
Selena had heard stories of snakes from the jungle that were capable of incapacitating prey with their eyes, but hadn't ever seen it for herself. At least...not until today. Having experienced it a bit, she wasn't giving Kaa an opening to use it again. Had Emiko heard those same stories, she...might have seen things play out far differently. But now lost in a trance, all she could do was sleep and...strangely enjoy the coils. Her body was unusually lax in the cocoon and...it seemed like she didn't mind what was happening to her right now.

The snake decided to slowly turn the tables on Selena in a pretty unusual way. He was trying to preserve his future meal by any cost, and it seemed he managed to think up another small scheme in his head.
"I'm sssorry if I made you feel sscared or uncomfortable, man-cub. But I sswear I did not want to harm thisss human, even though... you don't even know her name" - he responded in a raspy-like voice, the coils around Emiko started to slowly tighten, but not harsh enough to push the air out of her lungs and start strangling her. No, Kaa needed to be more careful than that. In spite of facing an angry village girl while having another human hypnotized and wrapped up securely, the snake was still sure he could win. He just needed to stall Selena and use his charm.
His eyes let out a brief glow, with the color of green coming all over and replacing the usual yellow eyes. In less than a second though, the reptile's eyes were back to normal. Kaa let only one hypnotic spiral out at Selena's mind, but soon enough he could very well release another. And another. Right until he was sure Selena would be trapped in his gaze once more.
"I never got to hear your name either, man-cub. Could you pleassse introducce yourssself before we can continue?"

There...was certainly a chance that Kaa could turn this around if he were careful. But he'd have to proceed very cautiously to get both of these girls back into his coils again, and that wouldn't be a small feat. Luckily for Kaa, he had already won half the battle by securing Emiko back into a trance. Had he done the same to Selena earlier, he could have been gorging perhaps by now. But letting her slip free was a mistake, and winning her back wouldn't be easy...
Thankfully for Kaa, it didn't seem like he'd have many issues with Emiko right now. Even as the serpent gave the slumbering girl's body a rather firm squeeze, there...was hardly any displeasure from it. In fact, Emiko couldn't help but let out a soft little moan followed by a sleepy giggle. Her free legs, still dangling freely started to kick lightly in the air. Hardly enough to disrupt anything, but...just her sleepy way of showing how cozy she felt.
As for Selena, the native girl's attention hadn't left the snake's. Nothing he could say would really convince her to drop the offense she had against him, and her facial expression spelt that out clearly. Yet...Kaa wouldn't necessarily have to SAY anything to make inroads as he seemed to have another idea for doing that... In the blink of an eye, Kaa had released a single ring from his eye that, while a distance away did seem to affect Selena a little... It was so fast that the native girl mistook the ring as a trick of the light. But with it's passage from his eye, the ring would flow in her own eye making her...a little more compliant...
"...My name is Selena. I'm a girl from the local village, but...somehow I figured you'd know that..." She'd answer with a firm voice, but...showing that the snake's gradual release of rings were working. At least...a little bit... "...Just who are you? And what exactly was it you were doing to me...to us? What do you want with us?"

With Emiko having been taken care of for the time being, the brown scaly serpent decided to be more pushy towards Selena. He already deduced that she was from a nearby village - after all, why would he so suddenly find her near the river carrying a strange object?
"My name issss Kaa, and I have been living here for much, much longer than either of you had ever been. Thisss isss my domain, Sselena, sso... Please be a courteous guesst"
In the middle of Kaa's speech, another couple of hypnotic rings appeared, aimed directly at Selena. The python was dancing on the thin ice - even the slightest mistake would cost him his dinner.
"As you can see, I pose no threat to either you, or Emiko" - Kaa realized too late that he let the brunette's name slip, though it was never too late for him to come up with an excuse as of why. After all, Emiko did reveal her name to Kaa once he began hypnotizing her, so this statement could at least be true.
Another hypnotic ring appeared in the reptile's eyes for a split second, as he started to massage the entranced girl's body with his coils to make her feel even more comfortable... And oblivious to the peril she was in.

Kaa's decision to be a tad more pushy towards Selena was a dangerous risk to take considering that the girl was more on edge than anything. Even if the first few rings had indeed gotten the girl to speak her name, it was still a gamble to be sure. And somehow...it seemed to work in his favor. At least, for now...
When Kaa introduced himself by name, and stated that he had been living here much longer than either of the two girls, Selena didn't find the point. Even if this was the snake's domain, it didn't give him the right to abduct girls against their will and...do who knew what with them. The only thing funnier than that thought was when Kaa insisted that Selena be a courteous guest since she was in his home...
It was a statement that almost made Selena laugh. There was no way on earth she was going to be a 'courteous guest' for this snake after all he'd done. And yet...there was another pair of rings that flowed through the snake's eyes. Rings...that were weak, but...enough for Selena to feel their effects. That...and to see things a little more his way...
Selena's stance holding the club slowly started to loosen. Rather than gear up for a strike, she let the piece of wood casually rest on her shoulder. Even her gaze eased just a little to show that she was starting to 'understand' where she was and...what she was... And even her tone as she spoke on was gentler in some ways...
"...I don't mean to be a disruptive guest in your home. I don't even mean to trespass... I'm not sure why...Emiko, was it? I'm not sure why she's here, but my village depends on the water from the river to survive. I promise that getting water was all I wanted. I...can behave if it's true that you mean no harm..."
It seemed that poor Selena was falling for Kaa's lies for the time being. She...didn't quite believe him in full, but was willing to be a courteous guest as Kaa put it... For the time being, things seemed to be going quite swimmingly. That was especially true for Emiko. When the snake started to massage and squeeze the entranced girl's body, Emiko couldn't help but let out a soft, contented moan. Oh, how that felt so good. Her dangling legs lightly kicked lazily in the air from how wonderful it felt. With this treatment she was receiving, she couldn't have been more oblivious to her peril. A fact made known by how the slumbering girl nestled into the coils around her neck and cooed cutely finding joy in her prison.

Kaa saw his strategy slowly working, and the old good recklessness started to fog his mind. The serpent's tail was giving headpats to Emiko from time to time to deepen her sleep and also to try and fool Selena into believing that the snake's captive was safe. Eventually, Emiko's hair bun was undone by constant physical teasing from Kaa, but the python himself did not really mind that. And neither did he really care about the reason Selena arrived to the river in the first place. After all, most humans Kaa had encountered before came from multiple villages, and it turned out that ambushing them at the river bank was a good strategy.
"Then... how about a sssmall deal? You may go back to where you came from, get water from the river and make it back to the village you came from... But only on one condition" - another couple of spirals shot from Kaa's eyes, this time going nearly for a second before reverting back to normal.
"You will allow me to keep Emiko in my coilsss. I promissse I won't hurt her. After all, ssshe iss sssomeone I have never sseen before. Thisss man-cub looks sso tasst- I mean, tired" - the tail was still caressing Emiko's long brown hair, except at the very end of his praising, the python made a mistake of nearly contemplating how delicious the brunette could be. And thus, at the very last second, he tried to do the damage control by saying "tired". After all, what else could have put Emiko in such a deep sleep other than sheer exhaustion? The serpent's own forceful hypnosis couldn't be the direct cause of that... Or could it?
Just in case however, Kaa tried to use the same subtle hypnotic display to try and erase any suspicion in Selena's mind, though due to a brief moment of panic only one colorful ring came out of each eye of the reptile. The process lasted for less than a second.

The strokes along Emiko's hair were quite welcomed by the hypnotized girl. The mesmerized girl always had something of a soft spot for her hair being brushed or played with. So it was unsurprising that she'd smile wider and nuzzle into Kaa's tail as it rubbed her only to snuggle back into the coils around her neck when it left. The act of repeating this while Kaa did it was sure to get that message across. But his attention was elsewhere for a time. At least...until he nearly made a fatal mistake...
Selena to this point had steadily been calming down to see things a little more Kaa's way. With his help, of course. So when the snake started to go forward with offering her a deal, she was inclined to hear him out and even accept it. It all seemed fair initially until the serpent got to his one condition... He wanted to keep Emiko in his coils while she left. And the spirals he emitted for a full second almost made her overlook the skewed reason why...almost...
The spirals she were exposed to left Selena yet again in a cooperative state to accept Kaa's words. But...when he almost slipped up and called the coiled girl tasty, she immediately froze. Tired was the word that came out, but that was not what he had started to say. She...didn't know what word Kaa was aiming for initially, but it left her feeling very suspicious. Enough so that even another barrage of rings wasn't enough to deflect her suspicion...
Selena felt like something was off and took a step back cautiously. She clung to her club a little tighter yet again and looked at Kaa with a clear expression of suspicion. Not long after...she'd let out words to match...
"...You're willing to let me go as long as you can keep her...because she's tired? I know I don't even know her, but you're up to something... And I can tell that your intentions aren't good... I'm not doing it... She's coming with me, and we're BOTH leaving..."
Things...had taken a rather hard turn for Kaa. Selena didn't seem to be falling for his words this time, and the argument of Emiko's fate was the sticking point. Yet, as the two debated what was to become of the hypnotized girl, Emiko was still just snoozing away, enjoying herself. At one point during the hair strokes, her free legs would curl a bit upward before stretching out, and going into a limp dangle. Just a pleasure reaction to the treatment, but...it did rattle the cocoon she was in a little...

Indeed, Kaa was surprised by how dire the situation was getting for him. He barely managed to keep himself from letting out a nervous gulp. But as long as he had Emiko in his clutches, he still had a chance to sort everything out. Still maintaining his eye contact with Selena, he decided to go for a risky, yet potentially rewarding move.
"I wass going to say that she would stay with me for the night, Sselena, and then I would let her go. I do not intend to do anything wicked to her. I will releassse her when the morning comesss" - the jungle serpent was trying to sound confident with this speech, but from his point of view this was an emergency lie. He knew that if Selena didn't believe him, he would suffer a defeat.
"Tell me, man-cub... Can these eyesss be lying to you?"
Instantly, his eyes began to glow, and this time not two, not three, not four but five color rings were sent straight into the village woman's face, just like several times before.
The coils around Emiko began to tighten a bit, so that the grip would still be firm. In his attempts to convince Selena to back down, Kaa was becoming a bit more anxious with keeping the brunette sedated and wrapped up, but he was also trying his best to conceal his worries and keep his cool for as long as he could.

As Kaa tried to cover up what was becoming a blatant lie, the Indian native grew far more suspicious... His lie was seen through for what it was, and there was no way she was going to believe him. It was starting to dawn on her that...something was very wrong here. And what should have been something obvious from the beginning was FINALLY starting to make itself known.
Selena wasn't buying his words anymore, and was just about to take a rather drastic action against the snake with her club. However, Kaa decided to pull off something incredibly risky in a bid to secure the situation before it tumbled completely out of his coils. His gamble...would pay off at least a little bit. Selena had no more taken a step forward to club the snake when he let out five swift rings from his eyes aimed directly at hers...
Upon seeing those rings, Selena instantly froze in place and felt the effects of them quite profoundly. They weren't enough to erase the distrust she felt towards the snake, but...it did calm her down. Certainly enough so to prevent her from clubbing Kaa on the head again. And in a way, they also seemed to open her up to the python's words a tiny bit. It wasn't much, but...she couldn't quite bring herself to say 'no' to the snake's eyes.
"...I...I don't know... Those eyes...don't look like they are lying..."
It was a decent sign that Kaa's gamble was paying off for the moment. It was still a huge risk, and things were quite fragile with no guarantees. But things were trending in the right direction for Kaa. Luckily for the snake, Kaa would find his advancements and fortunes towards Emiko to be far more rewarding and favorable.
The coils that held her slumbering form gave the hypnotized girl a gentle squeeze to hold his grip on her more firmly. It was an action that made her feel quite secure within his bonds and left her to let out a contented, sleepy moan. Like before, her bare dangling legs would kick lightly in the air with anticipation while her sleepy head would snuggle and nestle into the nearest coil around her neck. If nothing else, Emiko certainly seemed happy to sleep coiled up like this. Even if it were just her upper half cocooned.

A one-time success certainly boosted Kaa's morale up. The slight smile on his lips turned into a grin, right as he continued trying to charm the young villager. His coils were still holding Emiko's body in a smooth blanket with seemingly no way out, this time rotating her aside so that Selena could get a look at the brunette's sleepy face. A mere promise of having two girls for meal instead of just one resurfaced in his head like it did earlier, but it slowly turned into a desire to have just Emiko alone for dinner. Even if he didn't get Selena, he surely would hunt her down the next time. After all, he knew how predictable villagers usually were. And so, he decided to keep his dialogue with Selena going, hoping to drain her arrogance and make her a bit more submissive to his words.
"Ssssee? Obviousssly, you want to believe what I sssay, don't you? I am an honessst ssnake, that'ss what I promissse. Now, why don't you back down and acccept my deal?"
Kaa's eyes started to emit colors once more, and this time the effect lasted a bit longer, emitting six spirals at a fast speed. It could be seemed as an illusion of something, like the last rays of sun playing a trick on the village beauty's mind. With such strategy going, the python could very well numb Selena's senses down. Subliminal commands were his cup of tea, after all. It seemed that nothing could stop Kaa, but he was getting too drunk with his own power. He forgot that by playing with fire, he could get burned.
"Now, pleassse, leave usss alone" - the python's tone was a bit more demanding this time, and this time spirals were not present in his eyes...

If things continued to progress the way that they were right now, it was highly likely that the snake would end up with his meal. Two possibly good portions if he continued to play his cards right. However, the serpent had decided that perhaps one was enough for right now and would cut his losses. It was actually sound plan, and his safest best to enjoy the mesmerized girl already in his coils than press on for two.
He certainly worked things out for Selena to 'see' things his way. She didn't know why, but...she did want to believe what he said. The rings she had been exposed to had helped to shift her view of Kaa from a sly devil to...well, a devious snake, but one she didn't feel so bad towards. And after the next onslaught of rings from his eyes, she was quite inclined to accept Kaa's deal. It just...seemed right...
Emiko did seem rather sleepy, but also happy at the same time. And the rings had helped Selena to think that Kaa's deal was really generous... It just felt right to take him up on his offer and go back home while she still could. Selena would have done just that...if not for Kaa's demanding tone insisting that she leave them alone. It was that tone minus the rings that reminded her something was up. And all at once her suspicion started to return again...
"...What did you say...? What do you want me to do...?" Selena asked, gripping her branch-club just a bit harder. She took a small step forward as if to get a better sound and tilted her head to the side to 'listen' better. This would also serve to limit her contact with Kaa's eyes which...was what she planned for. "...I didn't...quite catch what you said..."
Despite the back and forth going on between Kaa and Selena, Emiko seemed oblivious to it. She could hear it all taking place, sure. But her sleep seemed to be more important to her. To that end, she simply continued to rest where she was ever so helplessly. The only sound she made that wasn't from a reaction to Kaa's coils was a cute little snore showing just how deeply asleep she was as well as how content.
