Hey everyone! Here's a little bit of fun that me and  Rurguy made. The character is a obscure character that appeared in the manga called The New Gate. It features Gaien the samurai Dragonil at home in his garden. Unfortunately some of his newly delivered bonzai trees were enchanted but who played such a tickly prank on him!?

Note: since the characters in this story are based off a lesser known manga, some context may be unfamiliar to some readers.

Shin, Gaien and Yuzuha are from the manga The New Gate.

Hinomoto Island


The home of Gaien Greig


Gaien the Dragonil was working in his garden, pruning his bonsai trees. Focusing, he managed to get a perfect shape after the final snip. ".....beautiful...the aura is perfect. "


Putting down the clippers, Gaien picked up the bonsai tree and placed it on the shelving with the other ones. Admiring his collection, he was briefly reminded of the recent delivery he received. "Ah yes, the new infant bonsai, I have to pot them."

Turning the corner around a large group of bamboo, Gaien walked up to the last location he left the new shipment of Bonzai, but they weren't there. "Hmmm, how strange...." Gaien, searching the garden, eventually found the bonsai, but they had already planted themselves into the soil!

"How is this possible!? Who planted these in the middle of the walkway! Guh, is this some sort of prank? Honestly." Gaien kneeled down to replant them, but suddenly the bonsai grew vines and coiled around his wrist! "Gahhhh! What!?" The vine was fast, but he managed to grab it before it got to coiling his bicep. With his draconian strength, he managed to pull against the vine. However, the vine countered this by coiling around his ankles and sweeping Gaien off his feet. Now vulnerable, the bonsai vines quickly secured the Dragon man, coiling his wrists and ankles while pulling his arms over his head. "Grrrrrrr! Accused foliage! Release me! I shall cut you to shreds!" Shouted Gaien.


The vines, ignoring the bickering dragonoid, began targeting the dragonoid's scalie armpits. Gaien gritted his teeth and gave a loud snort. He tried to pull away, however the flexible but sturdy bonsai vines held him firm. The vines dug into his muscular pits hard, Gaien couldn't help but burst out into laughter.


"Geh! Gahahahahahaha! Release me! Grahahahahahaha! Uggggggghhhh! Ahhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhahahaha!


Not wasting any time, the vines grew smaller tendrils at the lower base and attacked Gaien's lower sides and belly.

"Hah! Gehehehehehe! Stop that! Grrrrhrhrhrhrhr! Gehehehe! Ha ha ha ha!"

Gaien's tender belly muscles clenched and blushed pink from the strain while his arms pulled down as hard as he could but to no avail. The sensitive torment his upper body was going through was overwhelming!

"Gah! Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Stop! Stop you freak of nature vines! Ha ha ha ha ha! Grrrrrrrrrrr!" I shall slice you into toothpicks!"

But the vines continued their torment and proceeded to remove the Dragonman's slippers, leaving him barefoot. From the roots that bound his ankles in place sprouted four thin vines, wrapping around his now exposed big and pinky toes of each foot, immobilizing him further and leaving him more vulnerable to anything the tree was about to inflict on him. Gaien saw the vines creep towards his soles and knew the imminent danger he was about to endure. The two vines reached up to the two dragon soles and split into multiple smaller ones, and proceeded to tickle all over his feet. All the while his upper body didn’t get a moment of rest, his bare and helpless soles got raked and scratched, abrasions with the purpose of forcing out laughter from the dragonman and nothing else. The split vines first targeted his heels, digging into the surprisingly supple flesh, they continued by having extra vines make contact with the arches of the scalie. Parallel and perpendicular, they traced the formed wrinkles from the struggles, bringing Gaien to tears even before the balls of his feet get poked and prodded by the same vines.


"Nnnnnnnaaaaahhhhhhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! No! No! Please Stoppppp! Gahahahahahaha! Nnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggghhhhhhh! You're going to drive me insane! Grahahahaha! Enough! Enough!! Ha ha ha ha ha! Why won't they stohohohohop! Ha ha ha ha ha!"


> Don: Meanwhile, behind the garden fence, the mischievous young fox girl Yuzuha and the drake Sez watched and giggled with excitement as they watched the Dragon warrior succumb to the ticklish assault of the purpose grown bonsai. One she acquired after a chance meeting the drake and lamenting how the how the now hysterical dragonman rarely so much as smiled, that drake inquired about the appearance of Gaien, and after that it took her little convincing to have a special bonsai grown for the little prank.

"Yuzuha."

A voice called out. Startled, Yuzuha fell off the wall and looked towards who called her name. It was her beloved human companion, Shin! The drake glanced at the human, waving hello as his attention was drawn back to the laughing dragon’s pleading.


"Ahhhh, S-shin! W-what a lovely day! Heh heh!" said Yuzuha as she rubbed the back of her head. "Are you playing tricks again? Replied the black clad human as he climbed up the short wall and took a look at the commotion. His eyes grew wide at the sight of Gaien getting tickled all over by the magic vines. "It-it was just a prank! That dragon is so serious!" Shin just gave Yuzuha an incredulous look.

"Yes, but considering he can literally slice anything into oblivion, it would probably be best not to provoke someone like that. Also, it looks like he's about to pass out. So it's best to revoke the spell, or else you don't get dessert after dinner tonight, young lady."


Yuzuha's eyes widened at that last part. "Yeeeeeeeeee! Right away, Shin-sama! Pleease won’t you undo the bonsai wrapping him up?" She turned to Sez whose attention was snapped from the dragon to the fox, then back to the dragon, then back to the girl and the human.

“Fine, I suppose it’d be a bad look to deprive someone of desert so soon after I met them.” The drake closed his eyes, bringing his hand up, with that movement causing his plant to cease the tickling altogether, followed by him lowering his index and middle finger together making the bonsai loosen its roots and vines around the dragonman, letting the exhausted Gaien collapse, almost immediately passing out from how strenuous the tickling was on him.

“Let’s get out of here then while he’s passed out, if what Shin said about him slicing anything to oblivion is true. Better not let him figure out it was us who did all that to him.” Sez giggled to himself, a bit proud of his work and how it reduced a stout, disciplined dragonman to desperate laughter and begging.
