“Here we are again, always looking forward to provide assistance to less skilful players!” Says Taiga Fujimura full of energy in that way that characterizes her. Next to her, Illyasviel Von Einzbern, or Illya for short, does not share any of that enthusiasm at all.
“Just to get tortured to death in return...” Her eyes are weary and look down at her petite feet, scarcely protected in those white socks that betrayed her when she most needed them.
“Phew I can’t still believe how we even survived that” Replies the woman stroking her chin. “I mean, they sure went rough on you...Doing all of those things to you...” The girl’s face gets coloured in red as she listens to that declaration.
“And you even tried to run away!” Replied the silver-haired girl scornfully.
“Not at all” Taiga’s voice turns solemn, she is about to deliver a speech worth of a world-leader “Strategic retreat is one of the most plausible and used tactics in war. You were already doing a perfect job distracting those three monsters. I couldn’t let your sacrifice be laid to waste. Unfortunately my escape was ditched in the last moment...” Her tone gets lower the more she confirms the guilt hidden in her words, making Illya burst in anger.
“So you admit you were running away?!” Her accusing finger points at the woman she is beginning to think she no longer will be able to refer as sensei “Shame on you!”
“It was for a good cause, I wanted to find some help...” Taiga tries to shift the blame from her actions with no luck.

Nobody speaks for a while.

“Anyway, you sure are resistant” Suddenly blurts Taiga in a praising voice “Myself I passed out from the laughter. I didn’t even know tickling could get so intense” Illya remains silent as her instructor speaks “But you were still laughing out loud when I woke up again. I’m amazed that you could endure all of that. I get shivers to imagine having my feet, like yours, being ...”
“Enough!” interrupts the girl blushing “I’m not a normal human, that’s why I can endure things other couldn’t” She pauses and rolls her eyes, nervously “Let’s just talk about something else” The soles of her feet tingle as her mind unconsciously remembers the endless hours of torture her poor body had to suffer “Why are we even here?”
“Good question, you are always sharp, Lolicious Student Number One!” Says Taiga nodding proudly. Her eyes sparkle with honest excitement at a sudden realization “Could it be...THE NEXT SEASON OF CARNIVAL PHANTASM IS OUT?!” Illya sighs at this though.
“Why are you so obsessed with that series? It’s not even canon, you know?” Asks the girl tiredly, this topic, apparently has been brought often by the woman.
“But I got so little screen time... I need to be the star of the next season!” Says Taiga waving her bo menacingly.
“Good luck on that...” Answers Illya in a low voice.
“What was that?” Nothing escapes the ears of the tiger.
“Nothing. It’s just...” The girl quickly realises her escape route “That I’m so sorry to burst your bubble but, this is another fanfic” She adds with a fake smile.
“AGAIN?!” The world around Taiga begins to shatter.
“And by the same author than the other one!” Continues the girl who is showing her true sadistic colours, enjoying her teacher’s desperate reactions “This lazy person even copied the exact introduction than before”
“No, not tickling again...” Taiga lies on the floor curled into a ball while her pupil pokes her back with a stick.
“Oh, but didn’t you want more attention?” The woman nods silently “Would you do anything?” The girl continues to poke evilly “And what if people want to see you tickled?” She adds with a nefarious smile.
“People are meannies...” Taiga sobs and is about to cry. Then, she recovers and jumps into an explosion of energy. “This is not the time for self-pity! We must do our job and analyse the story previous to this utterly important and essential part of this universe!” Declares Taiga shaking her fist.
“I highly doubt that” Whispers Illya shifting her eyes.
“What was that?” Could there be any kind of comment that will remain unheard by Taiga?
“Nothing! I was just a bit confused...” The girl begins to play with a fringe of silver hair “There is nothing before us. We are the beginning of the story...”
Nobody says anything; this was something new for them.
“Why are we even here then if there’s nothing to comment?” To answer Taiga’s question, an ominous voice emerges from the shadows.
“I think I can explain that...” Says a hooded figure.

Please remain on stand-by, Taiga Dojo is experiencing technical difficulties

Welcome to Caster’s workshop: an awe-inspiring paradise to those participants of the Grail War who have understood its real nature: to praise the one and only magician among magi. One can expect lots of her alluring presence and womanly elegance. She is Medea!

“Oh my? It is the time for another instalment of my space?” Says a female figure clad in a purple robe which hides her body, giving her a sinister presence “It seems like it was yesterday!” Her sweet voice does not relate at all with her looks.
“Medea...” Replies Souchiro Kuzuki, a tall man of serious expression, with cold demeanour “Either remove your hood or speak more accordingly to the picture it gives to you. The contrast is a bit unsettling” Her adds calmly.
“Eh?” The woman realises her mistake and pulls the piece of cloth back, revealing a charming face hidden beneath. Her long light blue hair falls freely over her shoulders as she removes a few beads of sweat on her forehead. She sighs “Much better, it was so hot wearing that...” She takes little steps to get close to the man, reaching for his strong arm “My dear Handsome and Loving Student Number One. Care to explain our reason for being here today?” She asks smiling radiantly.
“I would like to know that myself” Replies Souchiro adjusting his glasses. The Caster, whose real name is Medea, as revealed in the introduction, gasps.
“But it was obvious! Remember this divjustice.deviantart.com/art/… ?” She says and produces an image with her magic that represents a certain online website.
“It is a kind of story that focuses in specific elements of erotica” Replies the man, unfazed “Probably driven to satisfy some desire that...”
“Wrong!” Screams Caster angrily “This is an insult! It’s based on Unlimited Blade Works, the route I do the most things. MY ROUTE!”
“But you still get defeated on that” Points Souchiro out. If Medea has listened to that acid commentary she manages not to show any consideration about it.
“And yet... that... that...” A vein in her forehead gets so pumped that it threats to explode. After a few minutes of Medea strangling an imaginary enemy she realises her actions and blush it off, smiles and acts as if nothing has happened.
“My dear Handsome and Loving Student Number One. Care to do as I told you?” She said tilting her head. The man cannot help but to blush at this image he finds so beautiful.
“It is necessary?” He asks with eyes devoid of life which only receive an scolding stare from Medea.
“Immediately” She replies with an smile that can be translated into a horrible menace if the hidden order was not followed.  

“Oh no, I’m a lonely man...” Says Souchiro in a monotonous voice.
“Put more emphasis! You have to make it more believable!” Interrupts the demanding voice of Medea, who is wearing her cloak anew and speaks with a dark voice.
“Oh no!” The man clears his throat “I am a lonely man who is both attractive, caring and well-established in life. Yet I seem to fail to grasp the secret on finding a suitable partner for me. I fear my days will end alone. Whatever shall I do?” He adds theatrically.

The results to this act of summoning are instantaneous. The final guest appears in the middle of the dojo waving her fluffy tail happily.
“The call for love is heard and Tamamo no Mae answers it!” Announces a fox girl who recognises the man “Of it’s you! Long time no see, what is it? Are you in need of a good wife? Maybe I could help you, as long as we fix that scare look on you and...
“RULE BREAKER!” From her back, without the fox-girl realising it, a dagger is struck in her body. The blade is made out of pure magical energy, it is a Noble Phantasm and it takes Caster completely out of guard.
“What is this? I feel so weird...” Says Tamamo gasping for air.
“This, my dear. Is the Rule Breaker” Replies Medea, also a Servant of the class Caster revealing her face to her enemy.
“And what does it do?” Asks the girl relieved to see that no wound was left by that nasty stab.
“It breaks the rules, what else?” Says Meda back, irritated “I have voided your contract as a Servant, now you’ll be mine!” She raises her left hand and an intricate seal appears on it.
“I have finished my mission here” Announces Souchiro before taking his leave “Be sure to enjoy”
“I’ll do it, my dear!” Replies Medea in a voice so lovingly that takes Tamamo more aback than the previous attack “I’ll see you at the temple!”.

Once the two Casters are alone, they exchange looks, defiant for Tamamo and those of superiority for Medea.
“You think you are so smart...” Says the one in the purple garb “Thinking you can steal my spotlight...”
“Hey, it’s not like I decided to be summoned into that war!” Replies Tamamo unsure of where this conversation was taking them.
“Silence! That’s why I hate you so much, you are so cute... and young... and a maid uniform would look so good on you...” She stops when she realises she is drooling at the idea of playing with this girl. There would be plenty of time for that later on “What really grinds my gear is what you did to Saber! I wanted to listen to her beautiful voice!” She grabs Tamamo by her collar and pulls “Tell me how was it like? Where was she the more ticklish?” The fox-girl is about to reply “Don’t you even dare to rub it on my face, you... filthy dog! That’s what you are a filthy dog! Nobody gets to have fun with little Artoria, save me!”.
The seal in her hand begins to glow.
“For my first command seal, each time I start a phrase with ‘filthy dog’ you will of anything I say!” Tamamo is unable to oppose this and feels her body getting heavy as she is bathed in the light from that miraculous spell. Like it or not she is that woman’s Servant now.
“Filthy dog...” Says Medea, who smiles when she sees the fox-girl’s body getting stiff “Remove my cloak”.
As much as she tries to resist, Tamamo does as she is told. She even waves her tail in the process; apparently her animalistic nature is close to that of a dog.
“Very well. Now...” Medea grins evilly “Filthy dog: don’t move at all!”.

Minutes later Medea noddes at her good work. She had removed all of her new Servant’s elegant clothes and had forced a scanty bikini on her luscious body. Following this, she had restrained her in a set of stocks, one for her feet and another for her wrists that connect with her head. She is quite pleased at the result.
“Filthy dog, you may move around!” She orders. Tamamo is apparently relieved to have regained some freedom.
“What is this? Why are you doing this? And why does this look this familiar?” She turns pale realising Medea’s intention “Don’t tell me you...”
“Exactly, I’m going to make you taste your own medicine!” Since Tamamo is seating over a divan, she comfortably gets next to her “I told you, nobody gets to enjoy saber’s laugh but me. I can’t believe your nerve. You tickled that poor thing for so long and you even dared to suggest letting those wonderful feet being licked by goats” She pauses and sneers “Let’s see how you like that!”. No sooner she hears this, the captive girl starts sweating.
“Wait a moment, can’t we talk about this? I’m your Servant now, why don’t we just work together so you can’t get the Grail and...” Her blood freezes when two animals enter the scene. Their four legs direct them to her tender feet “Oh my... You are serious...”.
That is the last coherent thing the poor girl manages to say before erupting in hysteric laughter. Even if there is nothing but soft skin for her feet to over, the soles are hungrily licked by those animals. Needless to say they tickle more than anything she can imagine.
“WHOAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! PLEASE TAKE THEM AWAY! IT TICKLEHEHEHS TOO MUCH!!!” She gaps when the two animals coordinate to press their tongues against her arches “OH MY, THEY ARE AHAHAHA LICKING MY FEHEHEHET! I CAN’T TAKE THIS!!!”.
Ignoring her pleas, Medea slowly removes her own sandals and comfortably puts her feet over the howling girl’s lap.
“Filthy dog” She orders “Massage and worship my feet. Please me and I’ll think about telling my pets to stop. The girl, already sweating and in tears by having her pristine soles ravished by those nefarious tongues, squirms and buckets in protest.
“BUT I IHIHIHI I CAN’T, I’M TIED!!!! AHAHAHA MAKE THEM STOP!!!” She begs pitifully.
“Not my problem” Replies Medea smiling evilly “Do as I tell you or else I’ll begin to see where else you are ticklish”.

The bizarre image unfolds in the dojo, meanwhile two bound figures try to escape their restrains. Tied down from tied to toes, Taiga and Illya cannot do anything save to stare with different thoughts at Medea’s cruel vengeance over Tamamo.
“That woman, how dare she steal my space! This dojo is where I can shine as a character!” Thinks the caged tiger.
“At least I’m not the one being tickled” Thinks the underage-looking girl, resigned against the sudden change of events.

I couldn't help it. While I was working on the story "Touch the Fluffy Tail" I knew that I would end up drawing Tamamo being tickled. She's so cute to be ignored! Besides, I've also gotten to like recently Medea, who is also quite atractive in her own way. She is not a mere more-ish little girl, but a mature woman with many charms to her that contrast with her usual evil looks and nature. Needless to say, considering her (official) liking for cute girls it was obvious she wouldn't like Tamamo tickling Saber in her place, as the story was originally meant to be with a previous customer.

Funfacts:
-I finally did one of the scenarios I like the most: goats tickling a girls' feet. About time I drew that!
-I was hinting that I was working on this piece and he told me it was something he could have gladly commission me. Damn my urges, I could have gotten money from this! 
-The addition of Illya and Taiga was something I decided on the last moment because I noticed there was a lot of empty space on this drawing.
