“Oh thank you so much Naruto,” Katara said as Naruto’s shrunken body hung suspended in the air between her toes. “I know having you as a tiny attendant to my feet will really help me relax and forget about all the horrors I’ve had to go through in my life.”
Naruto sighed inside before responding. Although he’d ultimately accepted his new position in life as plaything for Katara’s feet, it didn’t mean he was going to actually enjoy it. At the same time, he didn’t want to make Katara upset in any way. He eventually decided the only thing he could do was to always outwardly appear to be happy servicing Katara’s feet, no matter how hard that task proved to be.
“Oh….don’t you worry about it…” Naruto began despite his voice always being somewhat muffled by Katara’s monstrous toes. “I’m just glad to…” his sentence began to trail off, and he gulped before continuing, “To have the honor of indulging your lovely feet,” he finished, having force himself to spit out the words honor, indulging, and lovely.
Katara didn’t seem to notice the difficult time Naruto had with his last sentence, or if she did, she didn‘t feel the need to mention it. “That’s great Naruto…” Katara responded before pausing abruptly. Naruto, unable to Katara’s full face from his current position, wondered what could have made the girl stop all of a sudden. Did she see something, or was she just deep in thought? Naruto would soon come to find that the latter was true.
“You know Naruto, I just thought of something. I should probably come up with a new name for you.” Katara finally said.
Naruto wasn‘t quite sure if he hard correctly. New name? Before he could stop himself he blurted out, “What? Why would you do that?”
“Well you see,” Katara started, “you’re my pet now, and that means I’m going to be treating you as such. If you still have a human name, then I’ll have a harder time truly thinking of you like an animal, and that just means I might be more resistant to using you in the various ways I may need to in order to calm myself and get over whatever is really bothering me. I may want to put you in situations that I would never subject another human being to.”
Naruto was shocked. This girl was really something. He had already pledged himself to her, or to be more apt, her feet, for the rest of his life, and if that wasn’t enough, here she was talking about renaming him. She basically wanted to strip him of what little humanity he had left so she could have an easier time of abusing him without feeling guilty.
He wanted to yell and berate her for being so callous, but since he was practically the size of one of her calluses himself, he figured that wasn’t the best course of action. Besides, he had already promised himself, and Katara unknowingly, that he’d do all he could to appease her. He couldn’t let her ever fall far enough into despair again that she’d seriously consider taking revenge on another.
“Oh that sounds like a great idea,” Naruto gritted between his teeth. “Did you have anything in mind?”
“I was thinking about just calling you Foot Pet, seeing as you are my pet, and you are going to be spending your life taking care of my feet. It’s just simple and easy to remember that way.” Katara answered.
“What have I gotten myself into?” Naruto thought as he mentally beat himself up. “Foot Pet? How utterly humiliating.”
“I’d just love to be called Foot Pet.” Naruto begrudgingly said, making his voice sound as happy as possible. “And Miss Katara, I also think…”
“Mistress Katara,” Katara corrected him as she interrupted his sentence midstream. “That’s another thing I was thinking about. It would really be a big boost to my self esteem if you referred to me as Mistress Katara when addressing me from now on.”
Naruto couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Mistress Katara? Having him shrunk down to be used as a toy by her feet wasn’t enough? Sticking him with a degrading name like Foot Pet wasn’t enough? Now he had to refer to her by the title of Mistress Katara. Even if was to help keep her on the path of righteousness, Naruto felt that last stipulation was a little much. He just had to see if he could change her mind on this one.
“Do I really have to call you Mistress Katara?” Naruto asked, not caring if Katara could sense the desperation beginning to seep into his voice. “I mean, your self esteem already seems very high to me and…”
“You have no idea!” Katara cried as she interrupted him once more, a distraught and reflective look appearing on her face. “I don’t let it show very often, but I’m really not very confident about myself at all in some respects. I already told you about my mother, and I how I couldn’t save her. But that’s not the only time I’ve been powerless in my life. Some time after my mother was killed, my father left my family to go fight against the Fire Nation, and I couldn’t do anything to stop him. I lost touch with him for several years because I was too weak. And then later, when I started to travel the world, I had no one to teach me Waterbending. I eventually convinced a Master to teach me, but only after he brutally beat me in a fight and proved he was my better. And even then, after that, a friend of mine almost died because I didn’t have the strength to protect him in battle. He was fatally wounded, and it was because of a mystic power, hardly my own doing, that he somehow survived.
“Having both your parents gone? Not having anyone to help you realize your full potential? Almost losing a friend because you weren‘t strong enough to protect them? God, it all sounds so familiar.” Naruto thought sadly to himself. “I still absolutely hate having to refer to her by a fancy title, but I guess it’s worth it if I can help her feel she has a little power for once in her life.”
“Don’t worry, Mistress Katara,” Naruto said, taking the plunge and getting used to the taste of those words on his tongue, “You have total control over me now, so there’s no reason to worry about being helpless any longer!”
Naruto must have gotten through to Katara, for her melancholy state dissipated, and she immediately perked up, shaking a little after hearing his last words. “Wow Foot Pet, you really are good at making me feel better!” Katara declared.
Naruto thought he may have heard Katara directly call him by his new name for the first time, but he wasn’t sure. He was still off the ground in the grasp of her toes, and her new shaking around was starting make him rather dizzy. He had to get her to put him down with offending her.
“Mistress Katara,” Naruto called out, “If it pleases you, could you maybe set me down on the ground? All this shaking is making me dizzy, and uhh…..if I’m dizzy I won’t be able to take care of your beautiful feet as well I should.”
Katara stopped moving around when she thought she heard parts of the tiny boy’s plea. “What was that Foot Pet? Set you down? My beautiful feet? Oh, I get it. You really want to get started on learning how to take care of my feet at your new size.” At that she quickly moved her leg once again, this time to the left. Naruto couldn’t tell where she was putting him, but all of a sudden her toes spread apart and he dropped from the air.
At his new, smaller stature, Naruto felt like he was falling a couple of stories when, at most, it could have only been a couple of inches. He was glad Katara had heard his request, but he just wished should would have moved her foot closer to the ground before releasing him. The landing was sure to hurt.
After falling for some time, Naruto eventually landed on the ground, or what he thought was the ground. The first thing he realized after coming to a stop was that his landing didn’t actually hurt at all, surprisingly. He was very thankful that whatever piece of ground Katara had dropped him on was very wet and squishy. The next thing noticed was how dark it was. He was surrounded by walls all around him except for above. “Did I land in some sort of well?” he muttered to no one in particular.
It was only after the surprise of falling so far, so fast, vanished, and the shock of landing somewhere unknown passed, did the smell finally hit him. Right away he covered his nose, breathing as little as possible. “Oh god what is that awful stench?! Sick!”
Katara looked down into her boot at Naruto covering part of his head and thought he was acting very peculiar. “Don’t tell me the fall into my boot hurt your nose Foot Pet. I know you’re stronger than that.” Katara called out.
Naruto heard this and quickly panicked for several reasons The first reason he was panicking was due to where Katara had said he was currently standing. “Her boot? Well that’s just perfect.” he thought sarcastically.
The second reason he was panicking was because if Katara figured out why he was covering his nose, she might get upset that he thought her boots stunk. Instantaneously, he uncovered his nose, breathing through his mouth best he could. “I’m fine Mistress Katara. The only reason I’m not hurt is because you’re so very smart and dropped me into your boot where I could land with ease,” Naruto yelled out in a sickeningly sweet voice.
“I guess it is good I dropped you in my boot Foot Pet,” Katara giggled, “but that really wasn’t my sole concern. Get it? Sole because you‘re my Foot Pet“ Katara said still giggling, now at her own joke. Eventually her laughter died down and she continued. “I was more focused on putting you in a place where you could really get close to, and take care of, my feet.”
Naruto exhaled dejectedly. “I should have seen that coming.” He then looked around, still trying to pay as little attention as possible to the overwhelming smell that permeated Katara’s boot. He couldn’t see much due to lack of light, but he could still walk around. He moved a little, feeling himself sink into the wet, spongy floor with every step, before lifting his leg and stepping along. The thought of the ground being wet with what he could only imagine was the Waterbender’s foot sweat made his stomach churn.
Naruto gradually noticed the floor of the boot was somewhat higher near the walls, and the light shining from above showed the ground was a little bit lighter there as well. This was opposed to the floor in the middle of the boot which was lower and much darker. The only thing Naruto could come up for the differences in elevation and color was that was he was walking around on what was a massive copy of Katara’s foot, imprinted on the sole of the boot from being worn so long. He decided to get some information on his new prison.
“Mistress Katara, if I may ask, how long have you had these boots?” Naruto questioned.
“Foot Pet, why do you want to know something as pointless as that?” Katara questioned back.
Naruto didn’t expect a question in response to his question, and he didn’t have answer on hand that Katara would likely find suitable. He hastily made something up. “ Mistress Katara, I er…uh…wish to know everything I can about your feet so that I can better tend to them. This includes what vessels you bless with their presence from time to time.”
“I’ve got stop putting myself in situations where I have to suck up to her. I’m running out of big words.” Naruto thought after trying to answer Katara‘s question.
A slight blush found it’s way to Katara’s face. “Foot Pet, I can tell our relationship is going to please me for years to come. And to answer your question, I’ve had those same boots practically forever from when I lived back at the South Pole. As I’m sure you’ve already discovered, running around the snow back in the day, and fighting to save the world in the them during recent times, has made the insides kind of dirty. They’ve held up pretty good all things considered.”
Naruto considered the phrase kind of dirty the understatement of the century. “A disgusting imprint of your foot darker than a black hole in the depths of the universe is more like it. I’d be surprised if light can escape these things. And…”
Naruto’s thoughts were interrupted when Katara continued speaking. “I’m getting bored Foot Pet, so I think it’s time for you to actually get to work. Better lay down, because here comes my foot.” Katara, doing as she said she would, began to lower her foot into her boot. Naruto just looked up in horror, watching the massive girl’s foot descend upon him. He then thought of one last thing to say to her.
“Mistress Katara, before you reward me with your foot, I feel it my duty to inform you that you seem to have forgotten to put on your socks.” Naruto yelled, hoping to make hell just a little bit more bearable.
Katara just laughed. “That’s very kind of you Foot Pet, but I don’t wear socks. I did at South Pole where it was very cold, but I haven’t needed them since then in the warmer parts of the world. It hasn’t really been a problem, except for the fact that my feet get really sweaty and smelly without them. It bothers my friends some, but a girl has to just let loose every now and then.”
Naruto’s jaw dropped. “No socks? Smelly? Sweaty? Oh no no no no.” was all that his mind could come up with.
Lucky for Naruto, Katara didn’t immediately continue moving her foot down. She seemed to be thinking about something before speaking. “Foot Pet, you’ve handled yourself nicely so far,” Katara said while smiling, “so I’m graciously going to give you a choice.”
Naruto wondered just what she was planning now.
“I’m going to let you choose where you want to be and what you want to do in my boot. You can either lay down in the middle of my boot and massage my sole while I walk, or you get to the end of my boot and clean whatever gunk and jam I have between my toes.” Katara then finally continued lowering her foot into the boot.
Naruto didn’t know what to do. Being directly in the center of the boot while Katara walked would probably hurt, a lot, but cleaning the jam between her toes at the end of the boot would just be the absolute lowest point in his life. Naruto had to choose quickly, because Katara’s foot didn’t look like it was going to let up. Quickly, he decided to…
