(Okay so what to say here...? Well, in a nutshell, Chapter 8, 9, 10, and possibly 11 are going to be detail crammed and probably extremely long. 10k words each, hopefully. No need to fear, Chapter 8 IS on its way. I have a new editor/assistant who is helping me leagues better than my previous one, so we should be getting on track soon. Chapters 8 - 10 are already outlined and ready to be written, 8 is already started.

Since they are to be much longer than originally intended, they will obviously be taking longer to write. As such, I wanted to give you all a gift for being so patient, which is the following scene. I know a lot of you will like it, but consider it NON CANON TO THE STORY. It's purely something I wrote out in a few hours, and also I could add this update to you all. Remember, if you want more frequent updates, follow IotaIntheFRANXX on Twitter, I'll be tweeting progress regarding the next few chapters, every other day or so!

REMEMBER THIS IS NON CANON. I'm sure a lot of you want dinosmut, so here you go. Go crazy, darlings~)

Zakura had wondered how her darling would take the change. It was extremely noticeable, it wasn't as if he wouldn't notice, but more so of how he would react. Hopefully, he wouldn't mind. It wasn't something easily reversible, after all.

She ran her hand through her soft, cotton candy colored hair and teased a few strands with her fingers, observing it as she peered into the mirror in front of her. Perri was surprisingly adept at hair styling. At first, she thought of doing braids or tying her hair up in a ribbon, perhaps even buns. She did have a lot of hair to work with, after all.

Or used to.

"Well? How is it? Like it?", the short girl with blue hair asked, approaching Zakura from behind.

"It's... different. But...", she replied, tilting her head and rotating a bit to see more. Her quizzical look soon turned to a huge smile. "I like it! I think it will take some time for it to grow on me, but I really like it!"

"I'm glad!", Perri chirped, equally as ecstatic.

"I only hope darling is okay with it..."

"I'm sure he will love it, Zakura. Wear it with confidence, it looks fantastic. N-not that I'm trying to toot my own horn..."

The shorter girl giggled as Zakura continued to view her new haircut from various angles. Her side bangs were choppy and fluffy, and almost half the length that they used to be. As for the back, everything past chin-length was cut off, leaving her with a very short, boyish cut. It was certainly a drastic change from the straight, pink drapes that flowed well past her waist in the past.

Perri's hand found its way to the pink haired teen's shoulder and as she turned to look down at the girl's green eyes, she closed them and grinned wide.

"Don't worry! You would probably look good with any hairstyle!", she reassured.

Is that true? Would I be able to have my hair any way I want, and still look pretty...?

"Y-you really think so?", Zakura's face grew a bit red as she inquired.

"Absolutely! Now go show off to Hiko!"

Perri had practically shoved the hybrid girl out of the room to encourage her to go find her darling. He wouldn't be that far, considering Perri had come to visit them at their home. Although she had to lock to the door to keep the surprise a secret. He probably would have peeped one way or another if she hadn't.

Wear it with confidence. That's right, darling loves confidence! I just have to hold my head high!

Doing just that, she strolled about the house, unable to get a bead on Aihiko. Where could he have gone? He never strays far from her, and on the off chance they're split up, he normally actively seeks her out.

That's strange...

After searching the lower floor of the house, she then scampered up the stairs and began strolling towards his room. She kept her ears open, but to no avail. He wasn't in his room playing video games or watching TV. What in the world? It was like he disappeared off the face of the earth...

Hmm... Let's see if I can sniff him out...

Turning her nose up outside his room, she began to sniff, inhaling all of the scents surrounding her. There it was. That distinctive, musky odor that she couldn't get enough of. It was coming from his room. He must have left it recently. But where had he gone?

Continuing with her scent chasing, she entered her darling's room, which was partially hers for all intents and purposes. His scent blasted her with unparalleled potency. It was like she was bathing in him and his smell. A loud, heavy sigh escaped her, a mix of pleasure and relief. She hadn't found him, but she had indeed found the source of his smell.

But! Butbutbut! There was more! Definitely more! A humongous concentration of it was approaching her position, at a fairly fast pace too! He had found her! Had he been following her around?!

"Dar-!", she tried to call out, but was swiftly stopped in her tracks by a pair of wet lips landing on the nape of her neck, just below where her hair was cut. Her entire body shivered in shock. Her loosely cut white shirt provided ample room in the back for his lips to explore, cut just above her shoulder blades. The open cut also revealed her two black bra straps, where his hands found purchase, lightly massaging the skin around them.

She didn't dare to interrupt him as his lips explored her neck and a bit of her shoulder before he whispered sexily in her ear, his breath hot and teasing.

"It looks great~," he began as his hands lowered to her outer shoulders, gently pushing them inwards to restrict her arms' movement. He pushed his broad chest against her back, their skin only separated by the thin, loose white shirts they both wore. His scent was everywhere, besieging her entire body. She was drowning in his sexy, delectable aroma, and he had only pressed against her. He paced his words perfectly, creating tension of a flirtatious nature. "My... ho - ney~"

She managed a sharp inhale, biting her lip as she shuddered at his words. With a longer, calming exhale she turned her head slightly to view those incredible, breathtaking azure eyes he had developed, they were waaaay prettier than they had any right to be, but hot damn if they didn't turn her on.

Those sapphire rings surrounding the navy blue pupil at the center were just the most amazing things to ever look at! Yupyup! She could lost in the galaxies that were his eyes for days and never lose interest. The way they stared through her and at her at the same time provoked so many different emotions, that her words were almost lost. The sharp cobalt marking lining the outer edges of his eyes were perfect too, mhmm, mhmm! They matched her's, but they were like a million times better. Maybe even a billion!

"You... surprised me...", was all she could manage to comment as she gazed into his eyes. They gazed back.

The way he smiled afterwards - and showed off those sexy male canines of his! - only tightened his emotional hold on her. She was in heaven, and nothing could destroy the moment. Nothing mattered for a few moments, just the two hybrids, face to face exchanging loving looks.

"I love the hair. I loved it long, but I love it this way too~", he whispered, not breaking eye contact. The split second after, time almost stopped. Her eyes broke contact to watch his tongue flick across his upper lip. It was such a sudden, swift movement, but to Zakura, it could have taken minutes. Her heart began to race.

Darling likes my new look! Darling is... excited about it! He loves it! He loves it!

"You just look so tasty right now, honey... I could eat you up!", he teased, returning his voice to regular volume. She felt him shove his nose into the crook of her neck and take an enormous whiff. Hooooolllyyyshiiiiiiitttttt she fucking adored it when he did that! It was a total turn on, and now she knew her scent was flooding him, filling him to the brim.

She couldn't help but tilt her head to give him better access, he returned the favor by pressing his nose even further into her creamy white skin, almost to the point that the force caused pain. Her eyes traveled over his head, observing the rest of his features.

That layered black hair of his was just as soft as ever, she felt as a few strands tickled the skin on her shoulders. It's ebony color has shifted slightly however, tinted just barely with a deep, sexy blue. It was hardly noticeable to the naked eye, but she could see it, just like all the other minute changes. Like the way his muscles and canines had grown, bit by bit, month by month. Even his height had changed, he was now always eye level with her, in just a couple months, he had matched her height, but whether it was due to his own puberty or his klaxo-hormones, she didn't know. Not that it mattered anyway, he was sososososo! perfect!

Of course, she couldn't forget about his most obvious change. There was no way she could after all, they were as prominent and gorgeous as her own crimson pair. She didn't ever see a true physical distinction between them, those large, blade-like horns that poked through his hair - besides the variation in color - but she could just tell that his were bulkier, sharper, sexy, manlier, and she loved them.

She couldn't help but salivate at her boyfriend taking deep inhales of her scent. He was going to lose control, just as she was. Continuously licking her lips, she felt the tension rise to unbearable levels. He was sniffing her so much...! He was going to lose all self control and tear her clothes off, and! andandAnd! She wanted that! Without ever mentioning the thought, she begged him to have his way with her. They were suffocating in each other's scents and there was no escape.

He finally raised his head, albeit ever-so-slightly and stared into her jade green eyes, as if to ask for permission to go further. No words were uttered, yet they both understood what this was leading to.

"Hold on, honey~", with a quick bend of his knees, and nimble hands, he swept her from her feet and brought her a few more feet into his room. His entire body felt like it was shaking with anticipation. He probably felt the same occurring in her. Just as quickly as he had picked her up, he placed her back onto her feet, already breathing heavily. Not from exertion, as she was barely a twig to him - he had told her before - but from arousal. She could see his shorts were already tightly stretched from what was happening beneath them.

"Wait right here", he groaned softly, clearly trying to hold himself back just a bit longer. She nodded in reply as her hands sank past her stomach and covered her own shorts, between her legs. Without even touching her skin through the cloth, the heat and throbbing for her darling was becoming intolerable - less and less of a want, and more of a necessity. He dashed to the door, practically slamming it shut and twisting the lock with almost enough force to snap it. "There! Now its just us...!"

"Get your ass over here...!", she grunted through grit teeth, taking harsh, shallow breaths. He immediately followed her orders and rushed to her side. They didn't need to think about things, just give themselves over to their hormones. She wanted him to eat her like she was his last meal on dead row. She was hot, and pissed, and on the pill. The outside world didn't matter in the slightest, it was locked out there, and in that room, everything was beautiful. Perfect, even.

"Hang in there, my honey. I know what you want~", he groaned seductively as he noticed her hands' positions. She pushed her body hard against his, feeling his body heat melt into her own. Everything was on fire in the best way possible, and it was only going to get better. She felt his perfect, male fingers quest down her soft skin, and delve into her shorts, and ignored the barrier separating them from her most sensitive part.

A loud moan escaped her lips as she felt his experienced finger probe around, deeper, and deeper. The fire consuming her became a blaze of torture and pleasure. More! MORE! Her body begged for better treatment, and received it in moments with the addition of another finger. This had been the first time he had explored her nether regions while she was still clothed, and he probably had some difficulty finding - !

Her knees nearly buckled in surprise and pleasure. Her heavy breathes doubled in speed following another, almost screaming moan. She looked up as her chin found itself using his broad chest as a platform, as she observed that knowing, sexy grin of his.

"Found it~", he teased, not only with his words, but with his actions. He knew right where she wanted to be touched but he purposely avoided it. She knew what he was doing. He wanted her to literally beg for more.

"D-D-Darling...! P-please... back to that s-spot...!", she whimpered, barely holding herself up on her own two feet. With another press into that one, ridiculously wonderful feeling spot, Zakura lost control of her balance. Her darling was quick on the reaction though, and caught her with his free hand. Gently and carefully, he lowered her back to the floor, keeping that naughty grin on his face as he continued deep diving.

Gasps and moans filled the room as the study and probing of her lower body quickened. Hiko towered over her small frame, his scent washing over her. The minute change in his scent was palpable, it made her aware that he was loving her every reaction. Darling was getting turned on by her moans! His lips crept slowly over to her now well exposed neck and begin to lick, slowly and meticulously.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod he's actually going to-! Fuck...! It's so fucking gooooooooodd!

"Mmmmmm~", Hiko grunted hotly into her ear, smacking his lips and letting her taste linger in his mouth. "Your taste still makes my heart race, ho-ney."

His voice softened to a whisper, as if anyone was going to hear over her whimpers and moans of pleasure. "I wonder... what's your other flavor like?"

M-my other flavor? W-what's that supposed to...?

She watched as his jaw opened out of the corner of her eye, and then clamped gently around the entirety of the right side of her neck. He hadn't bitten hard at all, not even enough to break the skin, but she could feel those thick, male canines brush against her skin, followed by his coarse, large tongue. It sent her over the edge. He knew she loved those sexy fangs of his!

Her body went limp as the dam holding her back from that one feeling broke into a million pieces. Moisture burst forth from her body with a soft, relieved moan flowing from her mouth. Her body was extremely satisfied for round one. She was intoxicated with everything about him. Her darling, his scent, his fangs, the way his chest heaved with each breath, his fingers and the way they made her feel. Zakura wasn't done though, she knew he wouldn't be satisfied with only making her feel good, and was fully prepared to offer herself to him. To mate with him. Again and again and again.

"That... was... amazing...", she panted, watching as he removed his drenched fingers from her shorts and raised them to his mouth, which unlatched itself from her neck.

He sniffed the fluid on his fingers, looking as if he was making a mental note of the smell. Hiko then raised his eyebrows in surprise and grinned directly at her as he placed the fingers into his mouth, licking them and sucking on them for a good few seconds, before removing them with an audibly wet 'pop'.

"Incredibly delicious~", the boy commented, licking his lips and the tips of his fingers again. "An acquired taste, for sure. But a delectable aftertaste."

Zakura couldn't help but turn bright red in the face. He actually-?! He really did! Right in front of her face, without a doubt! He actually liked it too?!

"R-Really...?", she inquired with genuine curiousity.

"Mhmm~ what a treat, honestly. Sweet like you, ho-ney~", he moved his lips to her two horns and placed a loving kiss on both. A deafening silence followed for several seconds as the air between them heated with their aroused breaths, the two staring into each other's eyes with utmost intimacy.

...

"How about I make you feel good now?", she murmured suddenly to break the silence. Those bright blue eyes of his lit up at the idea. Bingo.

She quickly took control of the situation, pouncing on the larger, black haired hybrid and planted a wet kiss on his neck. A loud sigh made her aware that he was enjoying it. This was his turn on, being dominated by his partner. His hands found purchase on her plump backside as he smiled with a small grope.

She let him continue, as it ultimately just made him more and more aroused. With a flick of her tongue over her lips, she grabbed at his shorts and tugged them down, and following that, his boxers. There it was, strong and firm, she knew he was already more than aroused, but some foreplay before the actual act wouldn't hurt.

Just a single look at it and the aroma that burst forth sent her mind and body spiraling out of control. Her urge for him to mount and mate her intensified exponentially. Her eyes became lidded and foggy, everything was spinning around her. It was right there! It was within reach! All she had to do was remove her shorts and panties and they... they could...!

Not yet...! I have more willpower than th-these damn hormones...!

Zakura shook her head back and forth quickly and roughly, trying to shake the feeling loose. The lack of her hair following her movements was a strange feeling. She was so used to having such long hair that it practically whipped her when she shook her head.

The feelings wouldn't go away, but there was one way she knew she could snap to her senses. With a deep inhale, she opened her mouth wide and chomped down onto her right hand, cringing in pain as the intoxication began to fade. The girl didn't know how much time she had, and so ignored the confused look her darling gave her and smashed their lips together.

He always told her just how much of a passionate kisser she was, but he wasn't at all shabby himself. He knew how to work his tongue around hers. A few simple licks of his top front teeth reminded her of his sexy male canines, causing her to sigh into his mouth. He mirrored her actions, taking note of her own smaller, but still extremely functional fangs.

The kissing continued for several minutes, and progressively got more and more forceful and rough, eventually Hiko had grabbed ahold of her head and held in her place at his lips, not wanting her to even take a breath. The whole time, Zakura made sure to keep one hand on his lower region, making sure it was thoroughly entertained.

The slow teasing had eventually gotten to the boy as he finally loosened his grip on his honey's head and begin to sigh and groan quietly. A smirk found its way across Zakura's face as she watched every reaction, and realized the finale was close. Her grip became slightly looser and began to focus on the tip.

"F-F-Fuuuu...ck...", Hiko groaned hoarsely, reeling his head back slowly to the floor.

"Almost there, darling~?"

Hiko slowly nodded in response. Time to up the intensity. Adding her other hand, and a tad bit of extra pressure, her darling began to moan from her massaging. Zakura stuck her tongue out the corner of her mouth, sustaining her treatment. She counted down to the eruption.

Up and down, five~. Up and down, four~. Up and down, three~. Up and down, two~ aaaaand one~!

Right on schedule, the volcano erupted, molten fluids rocketing in the air and sticking to her top and shorts as she leaned over him. She had gotten some on her fingers and gave the boy a naughty grin as he panted, completely satisfied. Wiping her hands off on Hiko's shirt, she let out a sultry giggle.

"Now both of our clothes are dirty~ It looks like we have to take them off, dar-ling~"

(Awe, sorry did you want more? Maybe next time~ This was a fun little writing experiment, testing out my smut writing abilities. Let me know what you think, since it's not an actual chapter. If you want more, perhaps I'll do another extra like this, where I finish this whole scene, or I'll just update this one. Tell me what you think, and I do hope this was enough to tide you over until Chapter 8 is released eventually.)
