Once outside Caprica walked into the forest and undressed then shifted. She sat there for awhile just staring straight ahead. Then out a sad whine and buried her head in her paws.

Fang slipped out of his clothes and shifted into his panthor form. Hearing Caprica's whine he came to her and looked at her curiously and confused. "Whats wrong?" he asked gently and nuzzled her lovingly. He then rubbed his head against hers and purred. He liked her nose lovingly and looked into her eyes.

Senri pursued. Brushing the remaining bit of the cloak off of Moonbeam's shoulders, he shuddered - instinct said that she was his, but some part of him wasn't . . . ready. He hadn't known her for long - he didn't even know about her life, about her likes and dislikes. Was this lust, or true love? Senri thought it to be love, but one can never tell when you have someone in your arms.
Forcing himself to back off a bit, the were panted for breath, his hands on Moonbeam's arms. "I," he breathed, closing his eye, "can't." This time, the words had a different meaning. It isn't time. Running a hand through his ash-brown hair, the youth turned his gaze away from Moonbeam, afraid that he would further lose himself in her eyes.
Slowly dropping his hands away from her, the young man swallowed audibly, trying not to think about the woman before him. Senri shook his head. I'm not sure if I should be disgusted with myself or not. Is this right? How can it be so right, when it feels so wrong?
Glancing up into Moonbeam's eyes, Senri let out breath. "I can't," he repeated, moving forward to rest his forehead on her shoulder.

Caprica licked him back and looked up at him. "I..I feel like I've found something,, but now that it's back, everyone else is taking it away. I want to spend some time alone with him, but I don't want to take him away from Moonbeam." She said with a loud sigh.

Moonbeam's breathing was ragged as Senri pulled away. She looked into his eyes and nodded. Not yet.... She wasn't ready just yet. "Its okay..." she breathed and met his eyes again. She was slightly surprised when he rested his forehead on her shoulder but her features softened. She stroked his head softly and hugged him with her other arm. "Its okay... We just need time... It's fine...." she whispered lovingly as she kept up her soft rythmic stroking on his head.

Fang looked at Caprica and nodded. "I know... Maybe tommorrow I will take Moonbeam for a bounding time and you can spend some time with Senri. I know she'll understand if you ask." he said softly. He licked her again and rubbed his nose against hers lovingly. "It will work out, you'll see." he said gently.

"I hope so, I'm just so glad that he's free. I want to make that vampire pay. I wish I knew why he didn't take me when he took Senri. It's been haunting me my whole life" She whispered rubbing his nose against the nape of his neck and scooting closer to him.

Fang purred louder and nodded. "I know... But Im sure Moonbeam will make him turn for the better.... We'd probably kill him... That's why I gave him to her." he said and then felt the instinct. He growled softly as she came closer and he pressed himself closer too. He wondered just how this had came to be but he wasn't going to question the moon when he was so happy.

Senri kept his eyes closed, loving the feel of her stroking him. "Do you have a favorite color?" he asked quietly, moving to wrap his lean arms about Moonbeam once more. "Or a favorite season?"
The werewolf smiled slightly, glad that she was willing to wait. Nuzzling the side of her head gently, the youth licked her cheek. "Or favorite weather?"

Caprica felt his heat against her and gently bit his ear then switched back to human and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his nose. "I love you Fang." She whispered running a hand down his back and to the tip of his tail.

Moonbeam let out a soft giggle feeling his lick and nuzzled his head. She continued to stroked his head as she thought about it. "I like most any color.... I guess red is one of my favorites but I just cant decide...." she said lightly and thought a little more. "I love the fall because its not to hot not too cool and theres so many different colors... And I love rainy days when the sun is out. I love running out there and getting drenched and yet being happy because the sun is still out." she said happily. "What about you?" she asked and kissed the top of his head.

Fang smiled and purred. He loved being stroked in this form. "I love you too." he said and his tail flicked back and forth happily. "hey can you scratch behind the ears?" he asked eagerly and purred louder.

Caprica pulled her shirt on and laughed. Pulling her skirt on, she sat down and scratched behind his ears and giggled. "I think I said this before, but your like a giant kitten." She said calming down a little.

Fang grinned widely and leaned against Caprica's hand as she scratched him. "Hey. I have my moments. I never ever get scratched behind the ears in this form because people usually scream and run. So this is a first. And youre really good at this." he said purring happily and his tail flicking back and forth happily.

"Is that all I'm good at?" She asked reaching down and scratching his belly. She smiled and went back to his ears and giggled again. "It's like having the perfect boyfriend, and a perfect pet." She said kissing his neck.

Fang smiled and purred. He then mewed softly feeling her scratch his stomach and then he licked her lightly. "Oh, come on.... Am I really like a kitten in this form?" he asked and made his eyes huge and flattened his ears cutely. He whimpered softly just to add to it knowing that she would think it was adorable.

"Ahhh...Yes. You remind me of my pet cat I had when I was a kid." She said patting his head. She smiled and let out a yawn. "I'm glad I met you." She said with a content sigh.

Fang smiled and grinned and his ears perked up immediately. He then looked at her and licked her. "Be back in a second." he said and dissappeared behind a tree and changed back. He walked back to her only wearing pants and smiled. He had his shirt in his hands but the cool air felt good on his bare chest.

Senri smiled. Tilting his head in thought, the were scanned her face. For a moment, he drifted off because of his own contentment, but immediately forced himself back into the present.
"I like darker red," he replied, giving Moonbeam a crooked grin. "And I like the fall as well. It is still warm enough to go out, but not too cold." Senri nipped at her hand, gently catching it and giving her fingertips a kiss. "And I like the rain at night."
Their interests were so similar - it almost made the young man laugh. "I like a lot of things at night when it's calm," he whispered, stroking his thumb over her fingers. Thinking for a few moments, Senri brought his single eye up to look her in the face again.
"How old are you?"

Caprica smiled and got up and walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulder and kissed her. "I see you." She whispered. "I feel you, I hear you, I breath you, I taste you." She whispered. Normally a prayer one would say to the moon, but when said to another person, it was as good as asking someone to marry you.

Moonbeam smiled and bit his neck lightly when he nipped her fingers. She smiled happily knowing that they had many things in common. "I love rain at night..." she whispered absentmindedly. "Twenty. How old are you?" she asked lightly and kissed his nose.

Fang looked at her lovingly and kissed her passionately. "You took the words right out of my mouth..." he whispered and kissed her again.

"Twenty . . ." Senri frowned, thinking, "five?"
He blinked, and sighed. "I don't remember." The werewolf stroked Moonbeam's hair, moving forward to kiss her cheek. He was silent for another moment. "I have never kissed a woman," he said quietly, running a hand through her hair. "Not before today." Senri smiled slightly, moving to sit beside her instead of before her. He hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arm about her shoulders, pulling her to him while he leaned back against the wall.
"And I have never run free under a full moon. Not that I can remember."
The game was different now - instead of "what do you prefer," it was "I have never." Senri kissed the top of Moonbeam's head, and smiled inwardly.

Moonbeam smiled softly and looked into Senri's eyes as he said' before today'. It made her happy to know she was his first and hopefully only love. She then allowed him to pull her closer and she rested her head against his chest as her ears flickered slightly as his breath caressed them. "I have never been held like this before." she whispered. "Or kissed a man, besides my brother but that doesn't count." she said and laughed lightly. Smiling she rested her arms on his. "Ive never known my mother...." she stated softly and then smiled. "And I've never let someone hold the necklace she gave me." she whispered and took his hand and gently placed the crystal cresent moon in his hand. It gleamed and suddenly turned a deep red. "The color of love..." she whispered resting her forehead on his as they gazed at the small moon in his palm.

"It's beautiful," Senri whispered, his gaze locked on the small moon. "Like it's owner." The werewolf smiled and shifted so she fell into his lap. Moving her so her legs were tossed over one his knees and she was leaning against the other, Senri helped support her head with his arm. Looking down, Senri kissed her cheek and held the small pendant out in front of her.
"It shows true emotions then," he said, cradling Moonbeam. "I do love you."

Moonbeam was surprised and blushed when he moved her into his arms. She loved being cradled like this and couldn't help but think she was so small for being a were that it was probably very easy for Senri to lift her in his arms. She looked into his eyes and smiled. Moonbeam then touched the moon at the same time as he was holding it and it turned gold. She smiled and looked into his eyes.

When he saw the moon turn gold, raw curiousity flit across his features, and Senri tilted his head in a dog-like motion. Nipping one of Moonbeam's ears, he chuckled. "What does it mean this time?" Senri returned her gaze, his mind falling into her eyes. He sat stunned for a moment - his face showing his star-struck feelings. Shifting his hold on the woman, he pulled her to him a little more, trying to wipe his features clear of his emotions - unsuccessfully.

Moonbeam smiled softly and giggled when Senri nipped her ear. She then got lost in his eyes for awile and almost completely forgot what she was going to say. When she snapped out of it she blushed seeing Senri's star struck look. She then smiled turning her gaze to the moon again. "Soul mates..." she whispered. Her father had always said when you touch the moon with another and it turned gold that it showed that they completed you and together they had a heart of gold. Meaning they were soul mates brought together by the moon.
