A/N: Ahh! I'm so sorry my dear readers! I haven't updated in a while, have I? I've been really with school and exams and birthday plans and stuff but here's something!

Mythology AU requested by: DS (guest)

~!~

Scott muttered under his breath as he trekked through the forest. Messenger, do this, do that. He deserved a break every once in a while, too, you know! And the trip was especially long this time, he had to pack for a three day trip!

He sighed, pushing branches aside and carefully stepping over rocks, as the path became a bit rougher. Soon, the grass transformed to stone, and the man soon come upon a large cave, with a jagged entrance.

He frowned, unfolding the crinkled paper that he had been given by the senders. Roughly sketched upon was a cave identical to the one in front of him. This had to be the place. Scott took a breath, and tentatively stepped inside.

His head swiveled from side to side, searching for any sign of life. "Um . . . hello? Hello, hello? I uh, have a message for you. . ."

The messenger stepped further inside, heart pounding loudly in his ears. Something dark moved in the corner of his eye and he jumped, pivoting in place. "Is- is anyone there?" He called, his voice a bit shaky from fear. He dropped his bag to the ground, frantically digging for a torch. He quickly grasped it and ran it along the wall in a swift move, setting it alight.

"Uh, alright, I'll just . . . leave it here?" He tried again, receiving no response.

Scott turned quickly, only to bump in a wall of something. . .

Scales.

He let out a small screech, backpedaling furiously only to have something cool and heavy wrap from his ankles to the middle of his torso, pinning his arms to his sides. His bag was pressed uncomfortably to his side, the various items poking him.

"Well, well . . . a messssage? For me? Let'ssss read what it sssssayss, hmm?" A dark, scaly, purple face shoved itself into his personal space, with a fanged smirk and pure white eyes. A naga!

The message had fluttered to the ground, the strange man-snake creature scooped it up, eyes skimming over the words. "The snack I promised you for not devouring me, enjoy."

Scott gaped openly, he had literally been sent to his death! Those pieces of gold weren't worth it, not for this! He was at a loss for words, utterly shocked.

"A sssnack?" The naga chuckled. "Well I am hungry. . ." he purred, the side of his face pressing against the messenger's—the man in question shuddered, feeling smooth scales rub against his cheek.

"But. . ." The man's head snapped up. He swallowed and attempted pleading for his life. "P-please! Don't eat me! I'll. . . I'll do whatever you want, I swear!" He babbled, almost incoherent with the terror that rattled his speech.

He yelped, feeling a clawed hand coming to rest on his throat. "Don't interrupt me, messssenger." The naga growled. His irritated demeanor turned off like a switch, the angry look vanishing to be replaced with something darker and heavier, something Scott couldn't identify. "Asss I was sssaying. I am hungry," Scott swallowed, "But not that kind of hunger."

The messenger's brows furrowed, wondering what he could possibly mean. He was answered when the hand around his throat slid up to his head, pushing his hood back to grab a handful of hair and yank forcing his head back and a cry to escape his lips.

He cried out again, feeling something hot and slick run up the side of his neck slowly. He squirmed in his scaly bonds with disgust, conflicting with horror as he realized what the snake-man meant.

"Hold still, love," The naga purred, tightening his grip on his prey's head as he smirked against the terrified man's throat.

"You're not going anywhere."

A/N: Whew! Done :) And now replies:
AddiLion: You're very welcome!

DS: They are indeed, thank you. Would you mind telling me what you thought of this? You were the one to request it :)

kitkat1003: Well, here ya go!

Katsuten: I'll add it to the list, thanks for your input!

Cheetahtwo: Thanks, you should totally check them out when you have the time, they're amazing! And I was considering doing that pairing, but three things to write would definitely be a handful, so when my other story is done, or this piece no longer gets requests, I'll probably get started on that. (psst. I ship that too *wink wink*) And thank you, you kicked my butt into gear to write this oneshot!

Thanks for the reviews guys, and make sure to keep 'em coming! It's the best birthday present a writer could ask for ;) See ya in the next oneshot! Buhh Byee~
