Author's Note: Even though Return to Darnlake is technically the 6th of the Darnlake Botany stories, it can still be read independently for new readers. For those curious, you are welcome to start from the beginning at (http://yiffstar.com/?pid=49206) but it is not required. I plan to continue the series by adding more stories under Return to Darnlake so think of it like a 2nd season.

Return to Darnlake: The Willow Tree
The town of Darnlake no longer exists as we used to know it. Some say overrun, infected, or consumed. Which ever term you prefer, a new type of plant life had completely overgrown and spread throughout the town and about three others neighboring it. Then this plant life, or Venus as I've nicknamed it, simply stopped growing. Venus had all of the resources necessary to spread out indefinitely, and yet remained content, rooted in the same spot for nearly a year since it's various plants had begun to spread.
I am Dr. Harold Tuber, middle aged sheepdog, recently divorced, and would-have-been world renowned botanist. Venus was my pet project and my greatest failure. I lost my marriage in my obsession to find my research assistant, Fescue Maps. He was all I could think about since the incident. Scientists and perverts alike all attempted to explore this new jungle that Venus had turned the former towns into, but the growth was different now. Venus went from a tame experiment to a hazardous trap, everyone who went in never came back out. That was of course for all except a young tiger, just under nineteen by the name of Bao Pensai. If I wanted to find Fescue again, I was going to have to hire Bao as a guide.
Nervously I knocked on the door of his trailer, double checking the address in my paw. There was a small crew that stationed themselves outside of the jungle. I wasn't sure exactly who they were or what they were doing here, but this was supposed to be the residence of the tiger. "Mr. Pensai? Bao Pensai?"
The tiger responded, his voice louder than I expected as he opened the door to greet me. "Yep that's me. Only being alive that's ever been inside the jungle five times and lived to tell about it. I heard you need to go to the heart of the jungle, no one's ever been that deep before, not even me. Gonna be rough and won't come cheap."
I didn't like one bit that this punk tiger was supposed to be my guide back into the depths of Darnlake, but there was no other option. It had been 575 days since the incident and Venus had transformed dramatically. She was showing signs of plants and flowers that were more fantastic than I could have ever dreamed. I used to understand everything about her, now that she has grown wild, I feel like I'm starting from scratch all over again.
"I was told I couldn't get in without a guide." I knew one of the towns pretty well but they said you could get me past the guards, I don't mind if we part ways as soon as I get the okay to go in."
Bao shook his head. I could already tell I wasn't going to like what he had to say. "Alright, doc, it's like this. You might know the place from way back when, but it's different now and those plants aren't the same as they were a few months ago either. You might think it's a straight two hour walk from here to there but this is going to take us three days. Gotta be safe so we come back out that way."
I couldn't help but grumble a bit, it was a little humiliating to think of this punk tiger understanding Venus better than I did, having practically created the situation. For the moment no one knew that I was technically behind the town's ruin and I wanted it kept a secret. "It is looking like I don't have much of a choice so I will follow your lead, Mr. Pensai. Here's your payment, I'm ready to move as soon as possible."
The tiger flipped through the bills, making sure everything was there. "Alright, I've got some packs ready to go in the back. Here are a few ground rules. You want to fuck around and stick your cock in some of the plants I won't judge ya, and I'll give you the privacy, but you need to check with me first, some of 'em are dangerous." I was already shaking my head, that wasn't the reason I was going. As good as I knew those plants could make me feel, I was here to bring back Fescue Maps. The tiger continued, "You can't bring any of the plants home, we can't be letting this thing spread. Never eat any of the fruit or drink any of the water in there, that's why we bring our own. Stay with me at all times, if we get separated, you're on your own, understand?"
I nodded, picking up one of the backpacks and throwing it over my shoulder. "Got it. We should go."
Bao lead the way down the hill and toward the town. I could already see a band of what looked like mercenaries guarding one of the entry points with guns, some of them standing, others sitting in the back of trucks. These weren't the types I was used to associating with and I knew Bao and I looked like an awkward pair walking down toward them. I was dressed in a sort of business suit, adjusting my tie and cleaning my glasses with it. Bao had on combat boots and camo pants, with only a short vest to cover his upper body. It may have been a better idea to wear easy fitting clothing in these sort of circumstances, but I purposefully brought more restrictive clothing to keep my mind from wandering to the all too familiar memory of what pleasures the flowers in there could bring to the body. As we reached the guards, the tiger motioned over to me as he began to unzip his pants. Pulling out his sheath and balls to show to one of the guards, then pulling down a bit so his tip and barbs would show.
Bao looked over his shoulder me. "Show him your dick" Saying so as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
I had to blink a few times in my confusion, hesitating and wondering what was going on. "Excuse me?"
"Show the guard your dick." The tiger said again as he finished zipping back up again.
I couldn't help but blush heavily, looking over to the guard with one paw on my belt. "Is this actually necessary?"
One of the guards, a bulky Doberman, grunted and gave a brief nod. "I know you look male, but we need to know for sure. We've got our scientists studying this jungle and it hasn't claimed a female yet. Eggheads say the damn thing could be growing eyes if it got a hold of a female, already has too much damn male seed in it. So yeah, it's necessary." The guard spat the looked at me with an impatient frown. "Pull out yer pecker so we can get this shit over with." Reluctantly, I unbuckled my belt and showed my maleness to the guard, receiving a sort of nod as Bao and I were allowed back inside the town. Though it could hardly be considered a town at this point.
Leaves blocked out most of the sun above and everything was wrapped in vines or lush grass. There were hundreds of flowers and plants growing and blooming that even I had never even seen before, as a botanist I couldn't help but be fascinated but still, I knew what Venus was capable of and my hatred for the plant's capture of a dear friend kept me from truly enjoying the moment.
"There's an old gym that is still held together for the most part." The tiger pointed east, trying to help me understand the direction of our path. "We can spend the night in there once we make it. Has a room we can lock ourselves in. Trust me it's a lot more comfortable than it looks."
Again, I nodded knowing there wasn't much of a choice. At least I was back now, closer to finding Fescue than I had been in over a year. Still wasn't too crazy about this tiger 'guiding' me around, but I should probably attempt to be friendly and strike up a conversation. "So, Mr. Pensai, what makes you the expert on this town? How did you come to make it inside and back out so many times?"
The tiger grinned a bit, actually enjoying the opportunity to boast about himself. "Well, it's like this. I was in the scouts when I was a kid, you know? I've also got a sharp eye and good perception. I learned quick what plants were good and which were bad. The jungle drags away a couple new victims every week still, but it never gets me. Too fast, too smart for it I guess." Bao grinned and gave me a heavy pat on the back. "That and the thought of a big flower milkin' my cock makes me keep coming back for more, damn sexy thought, idinit?"
Nodding slowly back at the feline. Trying to keep a sort of professionalism before he drug my mind back in the gutter along with his. "I suppose it has it's erotic quality, yes."
"Fuck yeah it does. You don't need to be bashful around me, doc. I do it too, this jungle here has slurped up all kinds of my cum. It's like every single plant was trained to milk a male, feels good and ain't nothin' wrong with feelin' good."
Even though Bao was a bit brash, he had a point. Maybe it couldn't hurt to feed the plants again... my body was screaming out for me to do it at least once before I left. Still, need to keep focused. "I suppose... maybe we will a little later."
A big grin went across Bao's feline muzzle. "Yeah I thought so, see you're not so bad, doc. Just male like the rest of us. Every male has his needs." We remained mostly quiet after that on our hike toward the town's gym.
"Mind taking a little break here, doc?"
"We haven't been walking more than an hour or so. I thought I would be the one getting winded first."
The tiger had an odd grin on his face. "About an hour is close enough to 'later' idinit?"
I knew what he was getting at now. As Bao lead me around the ruined remains of Darnlake's suburbs I figured we were going toward some kind of feeding flower or vine. The tiger was already showing signs of excitement in every part of his behavior, especially the buldge in his camo pants. "Bao we shouldn't..."
The tiger leapt over a wooden fence, offering me a paw to try and help me over. "This one is different from all of the others, besides you can't tell me you don't have any interest in this sort of thing."
With a slow nod I grasped his paw and decided to give in. If I continued to fight him every time he brought up the plants I'd be making him too suspicious of who I really was or exactly what I came back here for. "Alright Mr. Pensai. I'll admit I have a curiosity about what you have to show me."
Once over the fence we landed in a typical backyard. There was a small wooden bench next to the patio all covered in moss and vines. Even half of a child's slide and swing set combo was still intact, though a little rusted. However, the true magnificence of it all was the towering tree growing obscenely in the yard. Even with all of the strange plants, trees, flowers, vines and other unusual fauna I hadn't laid eyes on before, I couldn't believe this one had gone unnoticed until now. Bao looked over to me with an excited grin as he started to strip down to nothing more than his bare fur, not being shy at all about approaching the tree. The tree's bark was a sort of brownish blue color that seemed to still look natural and from it's branches about one hundred bell-shaped flowers fell downward, giving off a bright white glow as they hung translucent in the sun. "I've never seen anything like it..." The words seemed to fall out of my muzzle unconsciously as I stood in awe of what I was seeing.
"The botanists, scientists, whatever, have some sort of name for it I always forget. I just call it 'the willow'" Bao motioned over to me, pointing and the clothing I was still wearing. "You're wearing way too much for what's about to go down. C'mon I'm not gonna grope you, doc. Take those damn clothes off already, it's waiting for us."
I started to undo my tie and kick off my shoes, watch Bao as he took a seat under the tree, motioning to me in a 'come hither' motion with a pawfinger. I couldn't help but blush a little as I finally stood bare in my white shaggy fur, walking hesitantly over to the tree next to him. The tiger pat the ground to his side to offer me a seat, the two of us looking up and watching the bell-shaped flowers slowly droop down to greet the two of us. "So what exactly is about to happen here?"
Bao chuckled. "Just sit back and relax, doc, there's no thinking required here. We have a lot of rough area to cover after this, might as well enjoy a good moment while you've got one."
I tried to let my muscles go soft as I watched a few of the flowers start to caress over my fur. Their openings almost like a small mouth as they touched and felt their way around me. As the petals opened some I saw two thin vine-like appendages slowly twist out from the center of each flower. Feelers of some sort, covered in a pollen that left a slick feeling residue on my fur. Once one of them dragged across my sheath I watched all of the others retreat back, pulling up into the tree. The single remaining flower finding itself over my sheath, just hovering over it about an inch or so as the two tendrils poked inside and started to rub across my malehood to help coax out my cock to come 'play' with it.
Even though I was still feeling a little shy, it didn't take me very long to start growing aroused from the plant's attentions. Either it had been a very long time and the memories had dulled in my mind, or the flowers here were actually learning in a manner to better pleasure males. As I grew hard the petals tightened and closed around my tip, guiding me into it's soft opening and welcoming my cock as the tiny vines swirled around my swollen flesh.
Bao was already moaning as one of the flowers was suckling at the root of his member. The tiger seemed not to mind as he would occasionally cry out loudly from the pleasures of the flower. Eyes rolled back in his head as his hips bucked upward and his balls bobbed comfortably in his sac. I gave off a few grunts myself as I felt a bead of pre start to flow from my tip. To my surprise this flower was more patient than the others, instead of slurping up my fluid quickly, the petals of the flower used my own pre to mix with it's own lubricant, then help coat and slick up my cock with the combination. The tiger moaned loudly again as I felt the two fines gripping and circling around my member, knowing it was doing the exact same thing to him.
Suddenly I heard him give off a loud roar as he paws dug into the dirt and his body seemed to brace for something. "Fuck... I'm too pent up. Not going to last too long today doc, better make sure you see this here." I was a little confused, my mind already in a haze from the attentions of the flower rubbing and suckling deep on the root of my shaft, even bulging at the base to help accommodate my knot. "Here it comes, look up." I watched as the tiger began to shoot blasts of his seed into the puckered flower that was sucking on his cock, finally receiving the nutrient it lusted for.
At first I thought he just wanted me to see his barbed malehood spasm inside of the clear flower, but once the willow started to actually drink his cum I saw what he meant. The tree's hanging flowers all shifted upward a little bit, curving toward the sky for a moment as they gave off a brief glow of blue and green before drooping again and hanging down back to their normal state. "It did that just became you... *pant**pant* came inside of it?"
Quite proud of himself, Bao gave me a big grin, his eyes still half open as he still bathed in the feeling of his orgasm. "Mmmm yep. First time it just quivered a little, next time it shook. Seems like the more I feed the plants here, the more the willow responds to my cum. Guess it thinks I taste pretty damn good."
I tried to smile back at his comment, but the gesture turned into a loud and heavy moan as I felt those two little tendrils wrap and grip my knot with a purpose, pulling me up into the flower farther and feeling like I just tied with it. The feeling was driving me crazy with the desire to cum, it felt so good to have my knot squeezed with the soft bell petals of the slower suckling for a taste of my very essence. I let my head fall back against the tree bark as my hips thrust upward hard and I felt my cock pulse over and over again, feeding the flower and pouring my seed deep inside of it. The petals giving off a sort of gurgling noise as it slurped up the cum, vines coming out to make sure not a single drop was wasted.
Suddenly the willow began to glow. In my orgasmic haze I watched as the other bells glowed bright red, blue, yellow, and every color in between. They pointed straight up and lit up the entire jungle that was Darnlake's ruined town as the glowing rainbow of colors washed over everything in sight for a few seconds before the flowers calmed back down and settled in place once again.
As the flower finally released my knot and cock from it's tender grasp I felt Bao's paws helping me to my feet and getting me to come back reality. "Doc... the hell just happened?"
It recognized me somehow. If the willow was starting to react to Bao feeding the plants here, then it's display for me must have been the result of gallons of canine cum I've pumped into Venus' various plants over the years in the greenhouse. "Perhaps my sperm has a more alluring flavor to the willow." I could tell the tiger wasn't entirely satisfied with what just happened here. I started to wonder if I would actually be able to get to the heart of the jungle without telling him that I caused Darnlake to become this bizarre exotic jungle, rather than the quiet town it was supposed to be.
