Ha ha! So good to see reviews coming in! And if you thought that the last part was strange and weird...then you haven't seen anything yet. Nyeh heh heh!

By the way, I think this might be my favorite chapter...

"Very well, then. I'll release your apprentice." he looked down at his bulging belly. "Ready to go, little one? Of course, you are..."

He grabbed a long, thin metal pole he had lying against the wall, and proceeded to slowly lower it down his throat. It took only a few seconds for his gag reflex to start up. He held it there for as long as he could, before sheer force caused him to spit it back out onto the ground. His face had become a little green, but he still retained an evil smile. His stomach began to loudly groan and gurgle from within as he continued to gag. Finally, the lump in his belly regained its former movement as it began to make its way up his throat. Layton, although reluctant to watch, saw a hint of blue come up within the back of his throat. Klaus reached in, and with a few tugs, managed to pull Luke's hat out of his throat. It was now soaked to the brim (literally) with stomach acids and mucous. Klaus was forced to throw it upon the floor as a forceful gag nearly threw him off balance. This gag managed to bring Luke's entire head from Klaus' esophagus. Slowly Luke slid out from the fleshy confines of Klaus' gullet. Finally, with one more gag, Luke fell onto the floor, followed by a flow of green slime and digestive juices. After a few coughs, Klaus straightened himself back up. He wiped his mouth clean before staring into the Professor's eyes.

Luke picked himself up from the floor, trying hard to regain his balance and equilibrium. His skin was slightly red from irritation from Klaus's gastric acids, and he was slightly dazed from the lack of oxygen, but he recovered within a few moments. Upon seeing the Professor, he immediately ran over and hugged him close to himself.

"Professor! Oh, I thought I'd never get to see you again!" he let out a cry of joy, before pulling himself away, leaving strands of slime attached between them. Needless to be said, the Professor was more than a little disgusted at the slime on his clothes. The Professor then shook his head.

"I'm afraid we're not quite free yet, my boy....I still have the other part of the deal to finish up..."

"You mean....you agreed to..." The Professor nodded. "But....you..."Klaus pushed the younger version of him aside onto the ground. Luke slid quite a distance from the viscosity of the mucous, but Layton ignored that for the time being, upon being so frightened from the stare Klaus was giving him....it was inhuman, to say the least. He gulped.

"Now, now," Klaus cooed, "Wait for me to get in first..." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the key to Layton's chains. He unlocked him, then swallowed the key with a satisfying gulp. He then took his forefinger, slid it between Layton's lips, and gently pressed down on Layton's lower jaw. Reluctantly, the Professor opened his mouth. Klaus reached his fingers in, and ran his fingers across the Professor's tongue and all around his mouth. Then without warning, he shoved his hand down Layton's throat. Immediately, the Professor began to gag violently, struggling to rid of the foreign object. Acid began to emit from his throat, flowing out around Klaus' arm, but Klaus only forced it further in. The gags began to become less and less, until Layton no longer gagged at all.

"There we go, now..." he whispered. He pulled his hand out, playing with the threads of saliva and goo, becoming even more excited with each passing second. He then began to tilt Layton's head back.

"Now, just close your eyes and relax..." Once Layton did, Klaus began to work. He turned around backwards, took both his hands, and shoved them down the Professor's throat, catching Layton by surprise. As Klaus forced the opening wider open, the Professor could feel the width of his throat expanding to inhuman proportions... Klaus then reached his hands further down the gooey passageway as Layton's throat muscles began to pull him in. Klaus gave a force jump, then angled his body parallel to the opening of the Professor's throat. Another swallow, and the back of Klaus' head reached the back of Layton's throat. The Professor's humid breath passed by Klaus' face, and he gleefully laughed as Layton's uvula brushed over his face, leaving a trail of saliva across his once dry face. The Professor was now overtaken by instinct to get down whatever he had in his jaws. He threw his head further back still, causing Klaus' entire body to become completely vertical in the air, one large swallow, and Layton took him in all the way to his shoulders. Klaus reached his hands in further still, and his fingers pierced through the opening of Layton's stomach. His heart began to pound faster within his chest, and his breathing quickly increased, which Layton could feel, much to his disgust. Klaus grabbed the edges of the opening, and pulled himself further in. He laughed with glee when his face escaped from the crushing walls of Layton's esophagus into the ruffled ruggae of the Professor's belly. The back of his head rested upon the smooth, slimy muscle, which was shifting with every heartbeat and breath of the Professor. He could hear the quiet gurgling of acid all around him, and could feel the soft grumbles Layton's stomach gave off. He could tell his legs were still sticking out of the Professor's mouth, so his journey was still going to be a while. His chest and waist were being slowly massaged by Layton's esophagus, the muscles tensing and relaxing with each gulp the Professor gave. But he could slowly feel inch by inch the opening of the Professor's stomach expanding and contracting to allow more of him in. Even the walls were beginning to stretch to accommodate his large size.

Luke was watching the whole process as the lump in Layton's stomach became larger and larger with each passing second of Klaus sliding in deeper. He could hear each loud swallow the Professor took and the gurgling and sloshing, the massive bulge in his throat and belly constantly changing in size, with constant movement within each. Knowing exactly what Klaus was going through, and imagining what Layton was feeling, Luke became sick to his stomach at the sight, yet could not help but watch what his poor mentor was going through...

Not that Layton was doing any better. Sure, instinct had him swallowing down the large meal with no problem at all, but that didn't mean he was enjoying any of it. Half of Klaus's body had actually reached his stomach, with his feet only sticking out of his mouth now. But he could feel his belly stretching and expanding to allow room for the large meal, the ever passing meal slowly taking its time to pass down his throat. He could feel Klaus' constant shifting of weight, his hands admiring the walls of his new prison, fingers tracing the grooves of the folds of muscle, his ever racing heartbeat, his breath along the walls of his stomach.

The Professor's tongue finished guiding Klaus' feet to the back of his throat, and in one swift motion, they were pulled down into the darkness along with the rest of his body. He gave several more gulps before just letting the contractions of his throat finish the job. He then closed his jaws, and tilted his head down, letting out a sigh of relief. He then looked down to where his normally flat belly was, to see a large bulge sticking out about 3 feet further than usual. And within, he could feel Klaus' feet finally enter his stomach, every move Klaus made, every chuckle, breath, heartbeat, he could feel it. It sickened him, that one could enjoy such vile pleasures. But his part of the bargain was over.
