Blah-Blah-Blah

Senpai dashed into the hallway and looked both ways. No Yoshi. He rushed to the stairwell landing and peeked over the rail. Nothing.

Would Yodie even be able to take the steps?

Maybe. Yodie cheated before, using her Yoshi skills to scoop up a ball.

He jerked his head toward a loud crash coming from the room adjacent to the Art club room—the school's Go club. He darted through the open door into the darkened room—no lights, blinds drawn. He nearly slipped on a Go piece, one of many strewn about the floor along with a game board. He kneeled down and picked up a few pieces.

Where is she?

A pinkish shape bolted toward him from the corner, hidden behind a desk. Zipping along on all fours, Yoshi crashed into his side with paws raised, knocking him over. When he straightened to lay on his back, Yoshi straddled him, barked, and licked his cheek.

"Down, Yodie." He tried pushing her off.

She continued licking him, her puppy face beaming, her dangling breasts swaying.

Senpai's eyes bulged at the view. What the hell?

It took him a moment to register the fact that, except for her collar, Yoshi was completely naked. Had his experience painting nude models made him numb to that?

Let's be honest. The me from a year ago would have died from heart failure by now.

He managed to roll out from under her and got to his feet.

"Rowrf." Yoshi sat before him with those wide, happy puppy eyes, her hips wiggling. When he patted her head, she beamed—right before nudging her nose into his package.

He hopped back. "No, Yodie. Don't do that." Senpai knew dogs often liked to sniff a human's most embarrassing places and figured Odie did the same.

Why the hell is she naked? That wasn't supposed to happen. As he admired the curves of the gorgeous naked girl kneeling at his feet, he pondered the question. He recalled what Yoshi told him about her dog. Odie hated when Gamo's sister tried to dress him up. In fact, he hated any kind of cute, clingy clothing, although he tolerated a leather collar after some training. That explained why Yodie would want to shed her uncomfortable clothes.

But the first rule of hypnotism stated "Hypnotized people won't do anything they wouldn't normally do when not hypnotized." Why in the world would she kneel, totally naked, at his feet?

The squeal of a closing sliding door interrupted his analysis.

It's Friday night on an extended holiday weekend. Who the hell would still be here?

Yoshi's eyes widened. She yelped, shuffled behind Senpai, and hugged his legs.

He reached down and tapped her hands. "Let me get the door."

She released him.

He jogged toward the Go club room door and silently slid it shut moments before the silhouette of the maintenance man passed by the door's fogged window.

Senpai whispered, "He's buttoning things up for the weekend."

With the danger passed, Yodie reverted to playful puppy mode and continued exploring the room.

I get it. She 's fine being naked in front of me, but she doesn't want anyone else to see her like this.

At some point, Yoshi resolved that she would someday follow in the footsteps of her close friends Nagatoro and Sakura. Judging from their recent conversation and her glowing compliments of his work, Yoshi nursed a surprisingly strong subconscious desire to pose nude for him.

It 's the only thing that makes sense.

He watched from behind as she played with some Hikaru no Go character figurines atop a shelf. It's cute how her pigtails still flop around like puppy ears. He lowered his focus, crossed his arms, and sighed. And those curves are absolutely phenomenal. He dropped his arms, steeled his posture, and clenched his fists. This is fun, but it can't go on. After all, I'm a professional.

He reached into his front pocket for his phone. Nuts, I left it on the couch. He glanced at the puppy girl, then at the exit. I can't leave her here. How can I get her back to the Art club room? If this were Odie, what would I do?

He walked to the door, slid it open, and commanded, "Come, Yodie."

But Yoshi was so intensely focused on the toys she'd just found, she ignored him. He considered picking her up and carrying her in his arms, but decided against it. Who knows what kind of trouble that would get me into?

He analyzed his predicament once again. Every time he'd seen Yoshi walk Odie, he was at the end of a leash. Yodie had her collar on, but Senpai didn't have a leash. He pictured the contents of the cat-cosplay gift-box Toshi had purchased for Nagatoro. It contained a leash—along with a bunch of other kinky items. Yoshi's costume probably included a leash, but her bag was in the Art room too.

Not likely the Go club would have a leash lying around. He scanned the room. Or Maybe a cord? He glanced down at his shoes. Aha.

He removed the shoelace from one of his shoes and walked over to Yoshi. "Sit," he commanded. She obeyed and kneeled before him. He crouched down across from her, tied the end of the shoelace to the collar's silver loop, and rose.

"Let's go, girl." When he gently tugged the makeshift leash, she obediently followed. He looked both ways to make sure the coast was clear, led Yoshi down the hall on all fours back to the Art club room, and padlocked the door.

After plopping down on the couch with leash in hand, he picked up his phone, started Toshi's hypnotism app, raised the screen toward her eyes—then he stopped.

Even though I''m sure she's okay with posing for me like this, Yoshi will be embarrassed when she wakes up.

He untied his shoelace from the collar and returned it to his shoe. Then he grabbed the blanket, unfurled it, and tossed it over Yoshi's shoulders.

"Grrrrr." She immediately shook it off.

Yeah, I figured that would happen. Have it your way. He picked up the phone and held it to her eyes. She watched the spinning black and white swirl intently.

"Look deeply into the swirl. In a moment, I'm going to pat your head. When I do that, you will no longer be Yodie, the world's friendliest female pup. You will once again be Yoshi."

He closed the app and patted her head.

Yoshi blinked a few times, tilted her head, and smiled brightly. "Rowrf."

"What the hell?" He shook his phone and tried again. "You are no longer Yodie. When I turn off the app and snap my fingers, you'll be Yoshi again." When he snapped his fingers, she continued gazing up at him with a bright happy grin.

He spent the next twenty minutes trying every saying, configuration, and phone angle he could think of, but nothing changed. Exasperated, he fell back on the couch. Yoshi rubbed her cheek against his leg before turning off to go explore.

Senpai watched her thighs and bottom sway hypnotically as she crawled into the mess she'd previously made on the other side of the room. If any normal guy saw this, he'd be losing it for sure. Thank heavens I'm a professional. No, this wasn't his first rodeo. He was intimately familiar with every square inch of the nude female form.

Then why is my dick so hard right now? He pulled the blanket over his lap and concentrated on the problem.

How can I un-hypnotize this girl? Should I smack her bum, or twist her nipples, or douse her with a glass of water? His intuition told him none of these tricks would work. Yoshi's hypnotism was voluntary, emotionally supercharged, and ultra-deep. Following others and seeking their approval informed a large part of her personality and nature.

Maybe I can tire her out. If I play with her like Yoshi plays with Odie and go through the motions of a typical master-puppy outing , then Yodie will rest and Yoshi will wake up.

An outside noise summoned Senpai to the window. It pleased him to watch the maintenance man lock up the campus utility room and walk to his car. The pouring rain disappointed him.

That figures. Oh well.

He checked the hallway again. The lights were off and the place was desolate.

A buzzing sound followed a bell chime. He opened Yoshi's bag, retrieved her vibrating phone, and checked the notifications. She'd received several texts from Gamo, Nagatoro, and Okaasan, her mother. There was also a missed call.

He glanced across the room at the playful puppy ripping up an old book, and held her phone to his ear. "I'm sorry, but she can't get to the phone right now," he joked. He'd have to address those communications if Yoshi didn't snap out of her trance.

He fished further into her bag, underneath her neatly folded school uniform, and found the leash that went with her collar. He clipped it to the collar.

"Come on, Yodie. Let's go for a walk." When he tugged her toward the door, Yodie followed obediently. They strolled side-by-side down the darkened hall, past a classroom, a closet, and another classroom. He glanced at the naked beauty crawling beside him down the hall, once again admiring the sway of her hips, bottom, and breasts.

This is nuts.

He stopped at the end of the hall by the stairwell. I wonder what she'll do if I lead her down the steps. He tugged her toward the staircase. Senpai took the first step down. Yodie eased her front paw forward, halfway down the step, then she stopped.

"You're used to having someone carry you up and down big scary steps, aren't you?"

Yodie looked up. "Rowrf."

He turned and tugged her back to the hallway. On the return trip, they detoured through a random classroom. Yodie looked up with wonder as Senpai led her through a maze of school desks topped with inverted chairs. "Strange new perspective isn't it?"

They returned to the hall. "We can't keep this up too much longer," he told her. "It's going to get rough on your knees."

He walked Yoshi back to the Art club room, relocked the door, and plunked back down on the couch. What am I going to do?

He watched her crawl along the perimeter of the wall below the windows, amazed at the innocent, yet overt, sexiness of the view. He chuckled when she accidentally placed a knee on the leash and stumbled the same way Odie would.

Senpai shook his head clear and switched his focus to the ceiling before closing his eyes. I think she's going to have to sleep it off.

"WAAAA."

Senpai's eyes snapped open to see Yoshi's nose nudging the rigid pole supporting the tent in his pants. He pulled up his legs, shifted sideways, and waved. "No, Yodie. Don't do that."

Holy shit. Was that Yodie the curious pup being playful? Or was that Yoshi the curious girl peeking through the trance? Did she possibly… like him?

He grabbed the leash and shot to his feet. "I need to get you home."

But how in hell am I going to make that happen?

He tugged the leash upward. "Yodie. Stand."

Yoshi looked at him as if he were an alien from Mars.

"I didn't think that was going to work." He lowered the leash and patted her head. "How am I going to get you home, girl?" He needed a miracle.

He started Toshi's app and tried un-hypnotizing her again, to no avail. He started a browser and searched for help. The hypnotism tutorials were useless. None of them addressed un-hypnotizing in any meaningful way.

He cranked the wheels of his brain again. What's a good Plan B? I know... He searched for "two-legged dog."

To his surprise, he found several YouTube videos that featured trained dogs walking on their two hind legs. When he tried showing Yoshi the videos, she sniffed the screen.

One video featured a really cute dog, close to Odie's size and appearance, that had lost its front legs in an altercation with a car. Somehow, the dog managed to get around on its hind legs. A genuine two-legged dog. That 's pretty amazing. But how...?

He reached into his back pocket and gripped the handcuffs Nagatoro had given him earlier that day. They'd become such a familiar fixture back there, he'd totally forgotten about them. Fortunately, the cuff key resided on his key chain next to his house key and the keys to the padlocks securing the Art club room.

He walked over to Yoshi playing with pieces of plastic fruit and said, "Sit."

She kneeled before him, smiling. "Rowrf."

He kneeled behind her. "This may feel weird at first, but go with it, okay?"

"Rowrf."

He pulled Yoshi's arms behind her back, cuffed her wrists together, and rose.

Yoshi looked up at him with a confused expression. She rolled her shoulders and twisted her arms to accommodate the cuffs, then stopped when she realized they weren't moving. She gazed at him quizzically, without panic or complaint.

I guess cuffs subconsciously make sense for a naked girl wearing a collar and a leash. He tugged up again. "Stand, Yodie. You can do it."

Yoshi rolled onto her side and pulled up her legs, curling into a ball.

"No, that's not good. You can stand. Here, I'll show you." He kneeled down and tried showing her the YouTube video of the Odie-like dog with two legs. "See. This guy can do it."

She ignored the phone.

"Come on. It's not that hard." Keeping the phone in her field of view, he moved his free hand toward her bottom. When he grabbed her bum cheek to nudge her up, Yoshi's eyes snapped open. The gleam of human intelligence replaced her usual glassy gaze of contentment.

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe touching her private parts will shock her into waking up.

He grabbed a handful of butt cheek and squeezed. "Hey. Are you back?"

A content smile didn't accompany her head tilt this time. She met his eyes with a serious, but confused, gaze. When he released her bum, her visage softened back to normal.

Squeezing her breasts elicited a half-bark, half-growl which morphed into cheerful doggie giggles when he teased her nipples. Massaging her vagina inspired similar results, though somewhat more intense. When he grabbed her bum, her intelligence returned and brightened as the tip of his middle finger approached her anus. He held the finger in place and showed her the video again.

She said, "Rowrf," and nodded. She seemed to be paying attention.

When the video finished, he rose, tugged the leash, and said, "Stand." She moved to sit, but the unfamiliarity of having her hands cuffed behind her back seemed to confuse her. Senpai wrapped his arms around her from behind and helped her up to her feet.

"Rowrf," she said with a pleased grin, standing on two feet.

"All right, you're up." He patted her head. "Very good."

"Rowrf."

When he led her around the room by her leash, she followed happily, much like the handicapped dog in the video, although her gait was fully human.

"That's excellent. Now I can get you home."

He glanced at her bag. There was no way in the world he'd have any luck getting her clothes back on.

He walked her to the window. Had there been onlookers, they would have gawked at the busty naked pig-tailed blonde standing next to him. But they were on the fourth floor and everyone, including the maintenance man, went home already. Dark clouds spewed barrels of rain, hastening the night's approaching darkness.

Fortunately, I 'm prepared for that.

He glanced at the mini-umbrella sitting in the corner, the one he'd used when he followed his sprinting nude girlfriend-to-be from the shelter to her home. He'd gotten a little wiser since then and had purchased two plastic rain ponchos for future downpours.

"I'm going to need a few minutes." After leading Yoshi to the door, he looped the end of her leash over the coat hook, walked a few steps, and turned.

Yoshi stood contentedly, mimicking Odie when Yoshi tied his leash to something. What a picture. He glanced at his easel and felt himself getting hard again. This is nuts. He shook his head clear.

He folded Yoshi's cosplay outfit and stuffed it into her bag next to her uniform. After pocketing her phone and house keys, he zipped her bag shut. Then he prepared his own backpack.

He knew the neighborhood where Yoshi lived, roughly, but wasn't sure where to find her house. Odie would know how to find his way home. If he got close, Yodie would take him the rest of the way.

He unfolded one of the ponchos, put it on, and turned to Yoshi. "We need to wear these so we stay dry out there, okay?"

"Rowrf." Yoshi's breasts bounced when a hop accompanied her bark. Shd didn't complain when he unclipped the leash, lowered the plastic hooded poncho over her torso, and reattached the leash.

Having successfully covered her nudity with dark blue plastic, he considered her feet. Shoes would probably come off in an instant. He already feared the poncho wouldn't last, though having her cuffed might help.

He walked her down the steps without issue, staying in front and watching Yoshi's every footfall in case she tripped. She shifted uncomfortably in the plastic when they reached the ground floor.

It's probably getting hot and sticky under there against her skin.

When they stepped out into the rain, her discomfort dissipated. Senpai used to hate the rain, but that changed after he chased Nagatoro home. And he truly appreciated the rain's assistance with this new challenge. Aside from her hood, Yoshi seemed fine underneath the spacious layer of thin plastic that covered her from head to mid-thigh.

Yoshi barked happily when Senpai pulled off her hood midway home. She seemed to relish the feel of the rain pelting her face. He had little trouble leading the barefoot beauty to her neighborhood. A few sudden wind gusts revealed more of his companion's backside that he would have liked, but fortunately nobody came out in this weather. The few people they did encounter were too focused on staying dry to notice them.

At one point, Senpai's straight-line trajectory down the sidewalk curved when Yoshi tugged him to the right. "Good girl, Yodie." Five blocks and three turns later, Yoshi had navigated them to the front door of a two-story corner unit set on top of a grade. He reached into his pocket. Let's hope this is her house and not a relative's. Her house key effortlessly unlocked the door.

"Is anybody home?" he shouted, just in case. Nobody replied.

He unclipped the leash, pulled the poncho off of Yoshi's body, and reattached the tether. He checked for bruises on the cuffed wrists hovering over her smooth bare bottom, but they looked fine. He considered setting her free, but a cuffed, standing Yoshi was much easier to manage than a playful Yodie on all fours.

Fortunately, Nagatoro hadn't called him again, no doubt since she, Gamo, and Gamo's family were all together dining or partying. He checked Yoshi's phone. Another message from her mother. This might be important. Swiping the screen prompted the message "Press Home to Unlock." He pressed the phone's home button against Yoshi's index finger, giving him access, then opened the messaging app.

"We miss you…," started Gamo's lengthy text.

"Wish you were here…," started Nagatoro's message.

Both expressed their concern and urged her to study hard.

Her mother's texts were more serious, formal, and threatening. They made Senpai very glad he'd passed the exams. Poor girl.

He glanced at his companion's grinning face and tapped her on the nose. "You did great, Yodie. Let's get you dried and into bed."

He walked her up the stairs. Since Yoshi was an only child, he found her room easily. Themed in pink, her bedroom's walls sported posters of dogs, idols, and anime characters. A large bulletin board featured pictures of her friends and Odie. Next to her desk sat Odie's cage just as Yoshi had described it. A small enclosure that barely fit him. He wondered how the real Odie was faring down in Osaka.

He sat Yoshi on her bed, tied her leash to the headboard, and retrieved a towel from the bathroom to dry her hair, shoulders, breasts, and legs. Then he sat next to her.

"Look Yoshi, I know this modeling session didn't go exactly like expected. I don't know what you're going to remember in the morning when you wake up, but…"

Yoshi's glassy eyes looked around the room for something to play with. She hadn't listened to a word he said. It reminded him of a cartoon. In the first panel, a dog sits attentively as his master gives him detailed instructions. The next panel showed the master's translation from the dog's point of view.

"Blah-blah-blah-Odie-blah-blah-blah."

How true. He chuckled. Let's try this. He cupped her breasts. She wiggled her hips and turned to him with a pleased mischievous grin. "Rowrf."

Senpai released the breasts and pressed his knees together. "I need to get the hell out of here."

He helped Yoshi stand, pulled off the covers of her bed, and guided her to lay belly-down on the mattress. After placing a pillow under her head, he removed the leash and collar, and stuffed the items into her bag with the rest of her costume. As he worked, her legs playfully scissored back and forth at the knees.

He sat at her hip, took one of her cuffed hands into his hand, and squeezed. "Be still for a minute. I need to talk to you."

She turned her head sideways on the pillow, met his eyes, then looked away.

I know. It sounds like "blah-blah-blah" to you.

He released her hand and eased his fingers between her bum cheeks. Her eyes widened to attention as his thumb approached her anus. "I get the feeling I'm opening a portal to the real you when I do this."

Her eyes remained fixated on his.

Should I try it one more time? He grabbed his phone. What the hell. Even with her full attention, seemingly activated by his thumb teasing her bum, the hypnotism app failed to snap her out of her trance. He pocketed the phone and sighed. It was worth a try.

"Okay, then. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to remove the handcuffs, cover you with your blanket, and turn off the lights. I want you to go to sleep, and when you wake up I want you to forget everything that happened today. Okay?"

Yoshi maintained blank-faced eye contact with Senpai. Her visage softened when he pulled back his hand.

After he removed her handcuffs, Yoshi rolled onto her back with her arms and legs submissively splayed. "Rowrf. Rowrf."

She giggled when he tickled her belly. "Go to sleep." He grabbed her wrist and ankle, rolled her onto her side, and pulled the comforter over her body. Then he turned off the lights, darted into the hallway, and closed her bedroom door.

Like a man on a mission, or possibly a prisoner trying to escape, he jogged down the steps, donned his poncho, and stepped out into the rain. Everything will be normal in the morning, he told himself, but part of him wasn't so sure. He resolved to return the next day.

He gripped Yoshi's keychain after locking her front door. I'll need an excuse to come back. "You left your keys in the club room. I figured you needed them."

His excuse was full of holes, but he didn't care.


Author's Notes: Looks like I'm back to posting on Wednesdays. I missed the Friday deadline (not that I have a deadline) because I wanted to get Yoshi home before starting the next chapter. Most of the story has been from Nagatoro's point of view, so it's been fun to write from Senpai's perspective. I've always liked the Yoshi character too. Everyone knows her as the ditzy follower in the bunch, but I think there's more to her than meets the eye. Nanashi has hinted at this too. That's all for now. — SK
