Zaibu carried him to their room and then gently laid him on their bed. He changed into his naga form and moved onto the bed as well. He stroked Tenshi's sides lovingly. Though if he were being honest with himself he was very nervous about all this. He had never been with another before in this way, human or otherwise. He just sent a silent prayer out that he wouldn't end up hurting Tenshi.

Tenshi let his fingers trail up Zaibu's shoulders to his neck and across his chin. "Just take it slow." He murmured softly as he shifted so one leg could go over Zaibu's scaled hip. "I like you like this." He murmured softly and let his toes run down the scales. "This is new to me, just take it slow." He murmured and shifted as he clung to Zaibu tightly.

"It's new to me too." Zaibu said with a moan as Tenshi ran his toes over his scales. "Though I have to admit that I'm not fond of this form." His fingers ran over Tenshi's clothed chest.

Tenshi frowned lightly, "I like it...I like the fact that it is the real you." He murmured softly, "I like the fact that you are better equipped to protect me like this." He murmured, letting one hand cover Zaibu's clawed one on his chest while the other cupped his cheek, his thumb tracing just under the Naga's eye before he moved his hand to run through his hair. "I would rather you not have to hide." He murmured and leaned up to kiss him lightly on the lips.

Zaibu returned the kiss. He didn't think it was possible to love this man more, but those words did just that. He laid his head on Tenshi's shoulder. He could spend the rest of his life like this. "Being a naga did me no good today. I don't know what I would have done if Kliene hadn't stepped in. I felt so helpless." He whispered softly. He had felt helpless and he had hated it with a passion.

"It won't happen again Zaibu...we have Kliene now." Tenshi murmured and stroked Zaibu's hair gently. "How about we learn a bit more about each other hmm?" The artist asked softly and buried his face into the Naga's hair. He liked how the other was able to wrap around him, able to hold him in his coils. He felt so happy and safe, he buried his face into Zaibu's neck and shifted his hips with a soft groan.
(And it fades to black...anything more on my part is not good for here XD)

Zaibu woke early in the morning. He was still wrapped around Tenshi. He smiled down at the young artist. He can't believe they went all the way the night before. He hadn't planed on it. He had planed on taking it slow. That's not how it worked out at all. He let out a soft breath laid back enjoying just being with Tenshi.

They had only gone to sleep a few hours before the sun had started to rise, and now that it was shining in Tenshi's window the artist groaned as he felt the warmth on his face. "Nnn...make it go away." Tenshi groaned and shifted so he could bury his face into Zaibu's neck.

Zaibu chuckled. "I guess we should have closed the shades." He was able to stretch out and pulled the shades closed. He was lucky that nobody had seen him in this form. He'd have to be more vigilant on that aspect. He nipped softly at Tenshi's neck. "I love you." He muttered.

Tenshi giggled at the nip, as those three words were said he froze and gasped, his mouth opening a little. "Z-zaibu." He murmured softly as he climbed atop his lover and buried his face into the Naga's neck. "I love you too." He murmured softly and wriggled atop his naga.

"I was scared to admit it at first. Scared to let myself truly love you. But I can't escape it anymore." He mumbled into Tenshi's neck. Come what may he loved Tenshi with all his heart and soul. Zaibu kissed Tenshi's neck softly. "I adore you."

"I love you too." He murmured softly, right before there was a frantic pounding on the front door. Tenshi sat up and frowned, he did not know anyone, and it was still rather early. "Zaibu open up!" A frantic female voice could be heard before she pounded on the door again. It was one of Zaibu's younger sisters.

Zaibu changed into his human form and rushed to the door. He opened it, worry lining his face. "What's wrong?" He asked doing his best to keep his voice calm. He honestly didn't need anymore stress right now, not after what had happened just yesterday. He wasn't sure he couldn't handle anymore stress.

Zaibu!" His sister rushed into the house. She spent most of her time at their home, and so could not hold her human form for long. Once the door was closed she shifted, her tail curling as she sat on the couch, she had an item in her lap and looked at her brother pleadingly. "Can you take my egg? My mate did not want children now....he already destroyed the other two I had." She unwrapped the egg in her lap and held it close as Tenshi came into the living room, wrapping a house robe around his body.
Zaibu's sister stroked the egg with her taloned fingers and sniffled.

"OF course." He said going and putting his arms around his sister. His heart ached for what his sister had gone through. How oculd her mate have been so callous. "Of course I'll take care of your egg." He said still in his human form. His fingers touch the egg softly. He does wonder how their father is faring but he feels that this isn't the time to ask. "How did father react when he found out what your mate had done?" He asked her his arms still around her. He wanted to beg her to stay here as well, but he knew that if she did her mate would come after her.

"Father punished him." she paused a moment, "He said I should bring it to you." She said softly.
Tenshi moved into the room and carefully sat down on the couch next to her. "What do we need to do?" He asked softly. The female naga smiled lightly at him before moving the egg to the blind artist's lap. "Just keep it warm." Her face fell and she covered it with her hands before she broke down in sobs. She wanted to keep it, she had wanted to keep the other eggs her mate had smashed, thankfully he was being punished rather severly, and she would take her own revenge once this one was safe.

Zaibu shifted himself into his true form and wrapped himself around his sister. He was surprised his father had suggested the egg be brought here. "It's alright. It's alright." He muttered over and over. He stroked his sisters hair. "It's all going to be alright." He muttered softly. "It's all going to be alright." He was starting to feel overwhelmed again but he fought down that feelings. His sister needed him to be strong. He wondered if Kliene had already left for his hunt. He wondered if he could handle this. He would handle this as he wouldn't be handling it alone.

TanaChan: Don't forget this one.

(I could have sworn I had posted to this one DX)
Tenshi bit his lower lip for a moment before he stood, placing the egg on the couch and wrapping a blanket around it.
He went down stairs to his workshop, his fingers feeling along the works on his recently finished. He picked up a recent piece and climbed back up the stairs.
Zaibu's sister was slowly starting to calm down.
Tenshi felt along the couch and sat back down, being careful of the egg. He held the piece out, "You may have it if you like." Tenshi said softly. Zaibu's sister wiped at her eyes and looked at the piece, she gasped and held out trembling hands. "it's beautiful." She murmured, fingers trailing over the hatching Naga. "You may come and visit when ever you like." The atrist said softly.

Zaibu smiled as Tenshi brought his sister the statue. "Tenshi is an amazing artist." He said with pride in his voice. "He is an amazing person." He rested his head on his sister's shoulder still holding her close. He loved his sister and ached for what had happened to her. To have to of her eggs destroyed, he couldn't even begin to imagine the pain she was in.

She wiped at lingering tears and looked the piece over. "How did you do this?" She asked softly, her fingers carressing along the jagged edge of the egg.
Tenshi shrugged, "I have always been able to do this." Tenshi murmured softly, his cheeks turning a light pink.
"It is beautiful, thank you." She murmured and cradled the piece to her chest.

"I've watched him work, it's amazing what he can do." Zaibu said proudly. "You should come watch him work sometime." Though he isn't sure how freely she'd be able to come and visit him. His father still didn't trust humans. Though that was one of the main reasons he ws surprised that his father hadn't sent his sister here with her egg.

"I will try and stop by when it hatches." She murmured softly. She reached out to caress the egg that was once again in Tenshi's lap, still in the blanket he had wrapped it in earlier. "When is that?" Tenshi asked and looked up at Zaibu's sister.
"About one hundred and twenty days." She said softly.
Tenshi nodded lightly and smiled, "I will protect it." He said softly and hugged the large egg to his chest.

"The three of us will protect it." Zaibu said with a smile. He is still wrapped around his sister. He hoped that she wouldn't be to upset about Kliene. He trusted the young naga completely. Akasha came slithering in and curled up against Zaibu's sister. She approved of her just as she had approved of Kliene.

She stayed just a little longer, leaning against her brother happily. Heaving a sigh she shifted, "I must be getting back, I am moving back into my old rooms until my Mate has learned his lesson." She leaned over and kissed Tenshi's cheek and then Zaibu's before she stood and headed for the door. Before opening it she shifted into a human form, still holding tightly to the hatching Naga piece. "Thank you for the gift, I shall cherish it." She murmured and then she was gone, leaving quickly, she could not hold her human form for long after all.
