The females awoke upon a cold floor. Panic rose almost instantly between the four, as they found themselves in a completely empty, wooden room without any doors or windows. All of them entirely naked no less.
Time passed and each soon found herself doing her own thing. Lindsay tried her best to cheer up Kim, while the latter tried her best to not blush at the excessive body contact the former employed. Constance felt her way across the room’s walls, intent on finding whatever secret entrance they must've been brought in through. Barbara’s approach was a bit more brute force, as she repeatedly punched a wall, her knuckles already almost as red as Kim’s face.
A weird sound, like ripping a hole through fabric, brought everyone’s attention to the middle of the room, where a mysterious portal was now floating. The four managed to huddle together just in time before a woman stepped through the hole in space. The woman’s appearance radiated absolute confidence with a busty and curvy body that immediately caught all their glances. Her black kimono with petal pattern was extremely lavish and hung off her shoulders to the point her breasts looked equally like they would jump out with any step, but also the only thing holding it up. The most eye-catching feature though were the nine golden fox tails waving right behind her with a matching set of fox ears poking out of her shoulder-length hair.
With the disappearance of the portal silence reigned in the room, as each site seized the other up. After about a minute the fox woman managed to push up her square glasses in a dismissive way. “To be honest, I was expecting better, but you’ll have to make due.”
Lindsay was the first to find her voice. “W-Who or what are you? Where are we? What's going on?”
The fox woman fixed Lindsay with a glare, who defiantly glared back up, before sighing. “You won’t back down easily, won't you? Nowadays it's really hard to get quality products for a good price. If you really need to know, I am the royal kitsune Otogi Eventyr, though to you I am Mistress. This room here is part of my humble temple domain and the only place for you to matter anymore. And what is going on? Well, I bought you four to become my harem, obviously.”
Baffled shouts of shock and surprise certainly wasn't what Otogi was expecting.
“You should feel honored, you know? If anyone else had bought you, they probably would’ve just turned you into their species, maybe throw in some mental changes, and then fucked your brains out for the rest of eternity. I consider myself above that, I want to have some fun with my property.”
“Do we look like pets to you?” Constance shouted.
Otogi snapped her fingers, the sound loudly reverberating throughout the whole room. “Why yes, you do.”
The others gasped, as they looked at Constance, who now had yellow dog ears growing out of the top of her head. Looking down she had to discover to her shock that both her lower arms and lower legs had been turned into dog paws with the same yellow fur.
Otogi couldn't suppress a chuckle at their reactions.
Lindsay shouted, “You find this funny? Turn her back immediately, you monster, or–”
“Or what?” From one moment to the next the mirth had completely drained from Otogi’s face. “Have you already forgotten who the mistress is and who are the pets? I bought you for fun and pleasure, but I’m not above punishing my property for insubordination.”
Otogi snapped once more and Lindsay felt a cold wind pass over her naked body.
“Is that everything you can do? Because then it’ll be no problem for us to– Kim?!”
Turning to her side, she discovered Kim having been turned into an ice statue. She wasn't just frozen, but turned to ice through and through, as Lindsay could look right through the clear material of the statue.
“As I mentioned, this here is my domain and in it I have full power over everything. And just so you know, I’m a big fan of unusual punishments,” Otogi said, as she traced her finger between Kim’s frozen breasts, her claw leaving an obvious scratch. Another snap and the ice statue broke apart to, to Lindsay’s relief, reveal Kim beneath, who huddled down on the ground heavily shivering. The scratch had taken form as a noticeable scar on her chest. Lindsay immediately kneeled down to try and warm up Kim, even though it wasn't actually necessary.
“Now the actual punishment for your rude transgression against me,” Otogi added, as she looked down at Lindsay and Kim, her tails flaring threateningly behind her. “I only wanted to make a fun, short example of your friend, but after this she's going to keep the dog traits for the foreseeable future.”
“You bitch!” Barbara, who had been trying to comfort Constance, suddenly shouted and ran towards the kitsune woman with a wound up fist.
Otogi made a sound that was somewhere between a sigh and a groan. “Did you even listen to what I just explained?” The kitsune didn't even seem to move as she dodged Barbara’s attack. From one moment to the next she was standing behind the athlete casually throwing one of Barbara’s arms up and down in her hand.
Barbara glanced at her shoulder stump. It looked like she had never been born with an arm there. That didn't stop her, though. With a snarl she turned around and used that momentum for another punch with her non-dominant arm. But Otogi swiftly avoided that attack, too, and pulled off Barbara’s arm with a loud “plop”. Before Barbara could find another way to attack, Constance grabbed the now armless woman and restrained her.
“You’ll get those back once you can keep your aggressions in check.” Otogi threw the arms up and nothing ever came down. “I see that you four still need some alone time to come to terms with our new arrangement. I really don't want to have to ask for replacements. We’ll see each other tomorrow in the morning. I know this room is still a bit barren, but if you behave well in the future, I’m going to reward you with all the amenities you could wish for and might even allow you to explore the rest of my temple. I’m a benevolent mistress after all.”
With her claws she ripped a hole into space that immediately closed after she stepped through. This left the four shaken women alone to ponder about their future.
