Nahga awoke with a start from small peepings coming from her slime halves. They were jumping up and down hungrily, they personally looked constipated, she thought. She gave a laugh at this as she sat up straight and gave them their daily pats. Lina, who was dead to the world as we know it, rolled over with a low grumble in her sleep. The chaos that took place last night left everyone feeling exhausted, though with thoughts filling their minds. She stood and held the slime halves to her as she went down to the lobby, there she saw the familiar dragon priestess. She sat the small jelly rolls at the buffet to eat to their hearts content then went and sat next to Filia, smiling. Filia looked over from her tea and smiled. "You're Lina's friend right?" She said softly as she took another sip. Rather than Nahga's usual response of `I'm her greatest and strongest rival' she replied with a small nod and a smile.
"I'm Nahga," she said almost silently. Filia smiled once more in response.
"Filia Ul-Copt, is there a last name that goes with that, Nahga...?" she asked confusingly. Nahga paused and stared at the ground. She knew very well what her last name was, but never liked to bring it up to people. Filia saw this and stopped. The two carried on a hearty conversation when the subject of Val came up. Filia told Nahga everything up to where he was reborn. Nahga did look fairly interested. "He really is a nice boy...he just...gets touchy on that subject..." Filia said softly. Nahga had a small sweatdrop forming. `No kidding...' Nahga thought as she looked at her arm. Filia and Nahga continued their talk on Val and other things, getting along quite well. Val, who looks at Filia in a mother figure, was searching for her the whole morning. She was the only one he would show any affection to, with an exception of Nahga last night, and ran right up to her without even a second glance towards the girl next to her. With a boyish grin, which was way out of his normal
blank expression, Val ran right up to her.
"Hi!" he greeted to her happily, oblivious to the fact that he was acting very strange and that someone else was there. Sitting down In an empty chair, he began to lick, scratch, and pick at his wound, the wrap bothering him. While he did so, Val still took no notice to the other person sitting with them. Nahga cleared her throat as she watched him, from what she thought go psychotic. She raised an eyebrow as she watched him lick at his wound like an injured puppy or cat. "Mum...when are we going to leave...I kinda wanna stay for just a little bit longer...?" He asked like a child for candy. Hearing someone clear his or her throat, Val turned. If there were a record for how fast color could drain from your face, he would win it hands down. Val froze. "N-Nahga...!" After shooting Filia the worst death glare ever, he slowly stood up. He was beyond humiliated. "I have things to do...nice talking." He said hastily before running out of the lobby and out to the forest where he
sat underneath bushes against a tree, his face buried in his hands. Nahga looked at Filia and slowly got up, exiting the lobby. She climbed the stairs and stopped when she forgot the slime halves. She gulped. The look on Filia's face was clearly visible: Fuck you. Although she knew it wasn't because of her, she knew it was because of that half ass. She snuk into the buffet and gathered the blue and pink slime halves and paled. The orange one was missing. She bolted outside faster than the blink of an eye, screaming at the top of her lungs. Val raised an eyebrow as the bouncing slime half in front of him mewed happily. Nahga saw this and breathed heavily, clearly pissed, her eyes held rage and fire, as if someone had tampered with her kid. Val left the blank look on his face once again as he picked it up, though his eyes lighted up clearly. Standing up, he felt his heart jump at the sound of her scream. Only one thought hit his head: shit. He wanted to hit himself, he was
never afraid of a woman, but something scared him about her which he mentally kicked himself for. Setting the slime half on the ground, he patted it and almost smiled as it ran in the direction of the scream. After he couldn't see it anymore, Val ducked back into his hiding spot. Nahga dropped the other two slime halves as she stomped over to him.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING WITH MY-eh...?" Nahga stopped and blinked at the flower on the ground. It looked fairly familiar...it was the one she kept behind her ear that he had given her. She blushed and gulped. Val looked at it and slowly brought his gaze up to her. Without a word he picked it up and looked at her. Standing up, he tucked the flower back behind her ear and looked down at the ground. He didn't want her to be upset, he was tired of constant fighting with people, and he didn't know why that slime half kept bugging him. Looking away, he pretended that she wasn't mad and felt himself feel a little better. She blinked. She was royally confused. Was he calling a truce? She felt herself reddening as she leaned onto one of her legs, her hands making their way to her hips. He was a couple inches taller than her which was almost impossible, she was a fairly tall woman, maybe about 6'0 even. Val looked at her and nodded before turning and walking away, stopping to
look back.
"The flower looks pretty on you..." he said truthfully before turning again. Nahga blushed, if possible, a deeper red as her feet sternly planted themselves onto the ground, unable to move. She snapped out of it as the three slime halves hopped up to her, peeping and mewing. She smiled as she leaned down and picked them up. She saw Lina and Gourry through the window and knew they were about to leave. She sat down and leaned against the same tree Val had when he was playing with a slime half.
Back in the hotel rooms, Lina rolled in her sleep and right off the bed. Finally sitting up, Lina blinked.
"Coooffffeeee...." She chanted. Of the many things Lina eats and drinks, coffee was by far her favorite, it was like her drug. She stopped immediately as a flash of blonde streaked by her. She blinked. Was that Gourry? He was obviously way more wired than she was in the morning, and to make matters worse he was probably going to get the same thing she was. Lina rushed out and grabbed a mug from a passing waiter carrying trays, leaving him shocked. Turning the corner, she skidded into the kitchen where Gourry was. Calmly she got some coffee and turned, only to find Gourry right next to her. Lina still didn't know how to act around him from last night and immediately blushed. "H-hi...!" She said lower than usual. Gourry blinked as he ripped at a huge piece of some kind of shank.
"Why are you stuttering?" he said through a mouthful of food. Lina blinked and stood up straighter.
"Huh? Oh just still a little tired that's all." She said coolly, smiling as usual and picked up a piece of food. Gourry now looked at a bare chicken bone as he reached over Lina's shoulder and grabbed at a couple doughnuts. Lina shut her eyes as she tried not to blush and or snatch the doughnuts. Without opening her eyes she turned, only to find he didn't move yet and once again slamming into his chest. He barely noticed this though, he was a little busy chowing down on some doughnuts but caught her before she hit the ground.
"Man, Lina, you mature slowly don't you?" he said with a slight laugh, of course talking about her breasts once again, which he obviously felt when she ran into him. Lina glared, pushing him off of her before stomping out of the room. In a blind rage she ran right up to her room and through her back on the bed and started throwing her clothes and things in it.
"That's it! They want to make fun of my breasts FINE! I do NOT need it from HIM!" she yelled to herself, throwing her bag over her shoulder. Stomping right out of the hotel, Lina had a ball of fire circling her, unnearving anyone who looked at her. Gourry saw this and immediately dropped his doughnuts and ran up to her.
"W-Wait!! Where're you going?" he asked, a small child's face plastered onto his. Lina stopped and blinked, turning to him.
"I'm leaving." She said simply, trying not to let her anger show. "If my breasts are -such a problem, I will just leave and let everyone be happy again." She said a little bit louder, anger shaking in her voice. Lina turned and started walking again. Gourry jumped in front of her and pushed her back, a sweatdrop lingering on the west side of his head.
"No, no! You can't leave!" Gourry said worriedly as he held her back. He finally gave up. "Fine but I'm coming with you!" He announced as Lina walked out, Gourry in tow, and greeted Nahga. The three stood and started to walk down the dusted road. Nahga looked left and right, looking for a familiar head of jade green hair, but to no avail. A loud shriek stopped them all.
"AHHHHH!" A pained voice yelled on the top of it's lungs. A familiar green haired boy stumbled onto the road, holding his arm that blood was spurting out from. A little boy by the age of 12 or 13 walked out laughing and pointing at Val, who was close to passing out from serious blood loss.
Lina's eyes widened as she froze.
"V-Val?" She stuttered.
"Haha! " The boy laughed, digging a stick into his arm after pulling out a bloody one, which he first stabbed him with. "Baby..." he teased. Val felt his head spin so he called for the one person he could think of.
"Nahga..." He called, dizzy and unaware that she was there. The slime halves were shocked beyond belief as on of them rolled off of her shoulder. Nahga quickly jumped over Val and put her hands out in front of her pointing her fingers toward the ground. Small snaps of electricity snapped from her fingertips as she slowly raised her arms.
"DEMONA CRYSTAL!" She yelled out as she pointed her hands toward the boy. In only a matter of seconds a trail of crystals that started form her feet surrounded the boy. He had a smirk on his face once frozen, she knew this wouldn't hold him long, she knew he was some kind of monster maybe Mazoku, maybe not. He could've easily been Phibrizzo had he not been dead. Yet, it could be a general or priest. She didn't know. All she did know is that it wasn't human. She turned around quickly, her cape flying behind her as she kneeled next to him, her cape in tow. She cringed as she looked at his arm. She was no expert at white magic, demona crystal was one of the three white magic spells she knew. She tried healing once on a small frog and killed it. Lina looked worried and knelt next to Nahga.
"The best thing for him is the hospital...c'mon...there's one back in town, we should go back. Maybe we can figure out what this boy was after..." Lina said softly in an unusual softer voice than she normally uses. She knew Nahga had somewhat feeling for him, and she also was still hurt from the words Gourry had said. Gourry, being as braindead as he is, didn't notice this. Nahga nodded slightly as she picked him up and gently and started walking back to the city. Only his back and the back of his legs were being supported, causing his head to hang loosely, his hair swinging to and fro. Val would moan and wince in pain now and then, his arm throbbing. Lina stayed in the front of the three, ready to strike at anyone and anything. This way, she could release her anger at Gourry, making it look like she was protecting Val. Gourry was catching on though and stared at the ground sadly, sighing. Once Nahga saw the familiar big red cross, she ran up, kicking the door open. Without
asking the nurse she ran him into the back room, pushing a patient for a checkup easily off. She laid Val down, the gourney immediately turning red from blood. Nahga could've sworn her heart stopped, her first impulse as to kneel next to the bed and squeeze his hand. The doctor rushed to his side, the other patient leaving.
"He needs help fast!" The doctor wasted no time and called for more help. He pushed Lina and Gourry out, but Val screamed and latched onto Nahga. The doctor gave in, but pushed her away just enough so he could get through. Still holding her hand, Val began to shake in fear. He had never been in a hospital before. He started to kick and thrash at the doctors, no matter how many times they said they were there to help. Finally the nurse came in and grabbed his arm, holding a needle with medicine in it that would calm him down and make him drowsy
"No! Please, No! Let me go! Nahga help me!" Val shouted, tears forming and falling down his cheeks. The nurse screamed over his shouts and told him it wouldn't hurt. Val couldn't hear though, he was too scared. His head and arm hurt a lot, and all he could see were five or six people shouting and screaming at him, holding him down and trying to grab at him...that would scare anybody. Val looked at Nahga and pleaded at her with his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a tiny prick in his forearm and suddenly his whole body felt like a deadweight. He relaxed and the loud shouts became low mumbling telling him he was alright and that he'd be fine and was doing great. Val felt the room spin and that hurt his head so he slowly shut his eyes, squeezing Nahga's hand with the weak strength that he had. He felt the doctors at his arms, but couldn't feel anything anymore. When the nurse said if he wanted anything to help his nerves all he could mumble was Nahga.
***
Back in the waiting room, Lina was staring out the window. She was worried about Nahga and Val, wondering if he'd pull through. She didn't know how to act if something went wrong, she was normally just carefree and rude. When she realized those things about Gourry it hurt when he teased her. She knew she was small breasted, but it's not her fault. She tried not to get mad, Gourry is just the kind of person who teases, but sometimes it just hurts. After Val had fallen unconscious the doctor shoved Nahga out of the room, she now sat next to Lina, her head buried in her hands, deep in thought. She had seen the soft side of him with his `mother', and personally she thought it was cute. But the way he acted in there, she knew it one of the first times in his life that he had truly been scared and he needed someone with him, he wanted her. She looked up slightly and blinked as the doctor nodded her back. She looked at Lina then stood as she walked back into the operating room.
Gourry sat beside Lina, twiddling his fingers and staring at them intently as if they were something interesting on TV. He knew Lina was mad at him, like she never was before, but this time it was different she was really mad at him this time, she was serious. Lina could tell Gourry knew she mad because he wasn't acting all hyper as usual. He knew she was mad and that was good, but she was more hurt than mad and she wondered if he understood why. Right now, she was so deep in her thoughts she couldn't even get the thoughts themselves straight. She needed to be there for Nahga if something bad happened, but everything seemed fine at the moment. Gourry cleared his throat, he was uncomfortable from the silence he turned his head and looked at Lina. Lina was ripped from her thoughts and blinked a few times, looking up at Gourry. She stared into his eyes for a long time, trying to find answers to many of her questions. Sighing, she looked back down at his shirt.
"Hey, Lina, are you still mad? Cause if so I-I'm sorry..." He said quietly as he looked back down into his lap. Lina paused, it was almost impossible for Gourry to realize when someone was mad, and impossible for a man to say sorry. Lina's walls and shields came crashing down and without a word she wrapped her arms around him and held him in a tight embrace, remembering the safe and warm feeling when he saved her at the pool. He was confused, she could have such mood swings, he thought, but gratefully hugged her back. He leaned back in the chair, stretching out as he held the small ball in his arms. He pulled a blanket from a table next to him and threw it over them. He didn't know if she'd hit him or not, but he slightly cuddled and rubbed his cheek against her forehead before closing his eyes and relaxing. Lina's breath caught in her throat at how open he was being, but relaxed with him and rested with him. She couldn't have said anything if she wanted awhile ago and was
glad that he accepted the hug. Sighing inwardly, she rested her head on his chest, the warmth from the blanket soothing her and she rose and fell with his chest as he breathed. Slowly, hesitantly, Lina ran her hand up and down his arm without thinking much of it, just something to do. She could feel his body stiffen, he obviously was inexperienced at this. Though after a while he relaxed under her touch. She didn't mean to make it seem as though she was coming at him, but she was glad that he relaxed, it made her feel a little better. Shutting her eyes, Lina was tranced in the sound of his calm breathing. Gourry smiled as he pulled her more onto his lap and ran his knuckles repeatedly and softly up and down her arm, mimicking what she had done. Lina smiled, enjoying the soft and touch. Carefully, yet uncertainly, Lina ran her hand up and down his chest, just wondering if he was okay with this slight gesture. The corner of Gourry's lips pulled into a smile as he opened his
eyes just a crack, revealing the deep blue depths. Lina smiled, staring into his enchanting eyes, then resting her head back down, still continuing her treatment on his chest. He leaned down slightly and very lightly brushed his lips across her forehead repeatedly. Lina felt electricity flow through her body as she gasped softly, but smiled and let him continue as she relaxed against this new feeling. He brought his hand up to her chin and tilted her face upward as he trailed his kisses slowly down her nose, taking as much of her taste possible.
Lina felt herself shaking at his lips, shutting her eyes and taking in the feel happily. Lina bit her lip to suppress a moan that rested deep in her throat. He leaned down and kissed the small stretch of skin right above her upper lip, waiting to see her reaction. After releasing her teeth off her lip, Lina gripped his shirt softly, a low whimper leaving her lips. Her whole body was tingling, she never felt that with anybody nor had she ever liked anyone so this was all new to her. He looked at her, seeing as though she was enjoying this he took possession of her top lip, sucking on it lightly. Lina could have passed out right there, she had never had anything physical with another guy and was really liking the feeling. Gripping his shirt tighter, she moaned audibly in her throat, falling into the feeling. Gourry moved his head to the side and took full possession of her mouth, sucking lightly at first, then nudging her lips lightly with his tongue. Lina was completely new
to this and eagerly allowed his tongue in, rubbing hers softly against massaging that sensitive vein under his tongue gently. Gourry's arms made themselves around her waist and back as he laid her down and kissed her passionately. Lina felt her stomach jolt as he laid her down but allowed it happily.
She kissed him back, putting her hands in his hair and keeping them there, pushing her hips up to shift into a better position, amazed at the friction it caused. Gourry smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and back as he moved his kisses down her neck. He chose one specific spot and stuck there as he lightly started to suck. He split his lips slightly as he let his tongue run over her smooth skin. Lina's whole body shook that being one of her weak spots, feeling herself shudder. She returned the favor and bit down on his ear before sucking the skin to release the pain from her bite. Gourry didn't care, it was Lina Inverse, the one who hated him, sitting here making out with him. He was happy. He switched to the other side of her neck and hungrily went down as one of his hands ran down her side. Lina moaned loudly, bucking her hips slightly without thinking. This, Gourry had to say, turned him on. He laughed slightly in his throat as his lips made their way back to
hers. Lina had to smile as she kissed him hungrily, though still with soft innocence. One hand made it's way down to his chest, side, and slowly his waste, threatening to do more. Gourry had to admit he was still nervous, but as of the moment he'd do anything for Lina. He pulled back and supported himself on his hands as he stared down at her. Her hair was scattered every which way, the curls bouncing lightly as she breathed. A smile came to his lips. Lina smiled back up at him, running the hand that was in his hair on his shoulder, and the other resting on his hip.
"W-Wow, Lina..." He stuttered, blushing furiously. Lina took in a deep breath.
"Y-yeah I know..." She smiled, pulling his head a little closer. She was totally new to this all, but the fact that it was with Gourry made it all the better. Lina wanted the heat, the contact, the closeness, she wanted it back...now. Gourry gave a small yelp as she pulled him back down quickly, though smiled as he held her tightly and kissed her deeply once more. Lina felt her world spinning, and her body on fire. She kissed him back just as passionately, holding him close just to feel him in her arms once more. She couldn't help but moan at the thought of Gourry on top of her, she just couldn't believe it! Again, her hand made its way down to his hip, bucking her hips to let him feel what she could make him feel again, resting her hip there until he was ready. She wouldn't even dare to touch like that if he didn't want to, this was not just about sex, she did have respect towards him. He was slightly embarrassed but hid it as his lower half woke up and his hands ran down
her sides. Lina's eyes widened as she could feel his problem, but moaned because it hit all the right spots. Smiling, Lina kissed him deeply, her hand just barely rubbing his inner thigh softly. Gourry moaned lightly, he had not been experienced with this, but all he knew is that it felt good and he wanted more. Lina smiled, loving the sound of him moaning and the fact that she made him feel good. But she wasn't sure if he wanted her to go further than that.
"Are you okay with that?" She whispered, her lips grazing his earlobe. Gourry had no idea what she meant, being the guy he is, but the tempting certainly made him nod. Lina laughed, pressing harder on his inner thigh, moving a little more towards the real prize as she capturing him in yet another sweet kiss. Gourry groaned as he immediately squeezed Lina's hand tightly while slipping his tongue here and there somewhere on her body. Lina moaned happily, about to move her hand to the center of his legs when she heard a cough. Rolling over quickly, Lina sat up in Gourry's lap.
"Sorry about that...there's a bed in room 3...its empty...so goodnight.." The doctor said hastily, before walking away flushed. Lina sighed before laughing with Gourry and walking into the room and laying down on the blanket.
"I guess we should sleep..." Lina said regretfully and patted the bed for him to come lay with her. "Come here..." She said softly, already growing tired. She knew he was probably pissed because she didn't get to move her hand exactly where she planned to. Gourry smiled as he through down the armor part of his suit and climbed in next to her, curling into a ball and falling asleep. Lina smiled as she grabbed one of his hands and followed in suit.
***
"He's lost too much blood sir...what are we going to do?" The nurse whispered back in the room where Nahga lay by his side. Val was shaking again, he had heard them and was in fear for his life. He had so many things he wanted to do with his life and also with Nahga and didn't need to hear he would die.
"Yes but we've ran out of blood transfusions...so unless we can find someone who matches his blood type...there not much more we can do, it's in God's hands." Nahga looked up at this, she stood and walked over to the doctor asking if she could try to give blood. The doctor hesitated, but took a sample and almost fainted.
"You have the same blood type! Ma'am...you just might have saved this man's life!" He announced and smiled widely. Val whimpered, he was happier than anything to hear that, but his arm hurt so much. The doctor frowned and took Nahga and sat her on and extra bed. "Alright Nurse Peterson, Please hurry and take her blood..." He said. The nurse did so, and soon had enough to give to Val. Val felt sick to his stomach and passed out. The doctor had Nahga stay with him, but try to get some rest because she had a lot of blood taken from her. They also told her that once she is rested up she should stay with Val until he is better, which might takes from a few weeks to months. For now, they wanted them to spend the night to get the rest they need.
Once night had fallen, Nahga had reached over weakly and pulled her gourney to his, she was honestly going to go mad if she didn't talk to someone. She smacked him lightly across the head, desperately trying to wake him up. "Val!" she whispered loudly. Val moaned and opened his eyes, the pain and shock smacking him full force. Suddenly, he realized how afraid he was and how much he owed Nahga, right now he wanted someone to hold him. Without hesitation, Val rolled onto her bed and curled up into a ball, resting his head under her chin. He didn't reach out to her since his arm hurt too much and just lay there, wanting her affection, which is something that doesn't happen much. He whimpered, letting her know that he wanted to be held, he was almost as though that little boy again, lost and afraid. He couldn't stop the tears of fright and pain that fell free. Nahga stiffened. NO ONE had been this close to her before, body and all. There was Julliano, but only his lips had
grazed her cheek (AN: Slayers The Motion Picture, you can get it in music stores. I got mine in Tower Records ^^;), but his body had been a distance from hers. She was taken by surprise, as of the slime halves as they stared down in jealousy at Val. Nahga smiled though as she wrapped one arm around him and the other rested on his neck, her hand stroking his head softly. She still wasn't going to let go from talking. "Do you feel better...?" She asked sincerely. Val shuddered as her breath brushed his neck. All the memories of his childhood haunted him and he was glad to be back in arms of those who cared for him.
"I-I don't know...my a-arm hurt...but I feel better with...y-you..." He managed out, his body racked with silent sobs. He was glad she was holding him, he had never felt anything like this and welcomed the new feeling that stirred inside him. He slowly shut his eyes, though still wake, and let his breathing come slow again, taking in her scent greedily. She continued to stroke his head as her hand went in small circular motions, messaging out a knot she had found.
"I'm glad," she started. She then gave a small laugh. "How hard is it to put up with mommy dearest? She seems to get pissed off real easily," she said, trying to strike up a conversation with some laugh. Val smiled faintly, still not used to that gesture.
"Yeah...she's strict." He said softly, nuzzling his head up against her. Nahga smiled at this, then frowned. She felt more of a mother as of the moment rather than a friend...or more...in need.
"C'mon talk to me...! That's the reason I woke you up!" Nahga whined. She had never been this open to anyone, she never bent lower than their level, especially begging. She was always hyper and stubborn. Val blushed and bit his lip.
"I-I...I don't know how to a-act...I've never had feelings for anyone before..." Val gaped, he did not just say that out loud! He was nervous, but he hoped she didn't push her away, he really liked being in her arms. Val winced, his arm shooting in pain again. Nahga blinked in confusion. Feelings?
"What exactly do you mean by `feelings'?..." she asked confusingly. Val looked up.
"I-I...I'm not sure...not mother to son...o-or sister...I think m-more than just friends too....I-I shouldn't have said anything..." He said softly and started to sit up, embarrassed beyond belief. Nahga blinked in confusion but quickly grabbed his uninjured arm. She smiled.
"I gave you blood and this is how you repay me?" She said sarcastically. Val immediately feel back into his spot, tears forming fast in his eyes as his arm throbbed. He wanted to yell, but he couldn't get his voice to work. His body shook as he cried, begging for her too fix the pain while mumbling sorry over and over for trying to get up and for crying like a little kid. Nahga was also immediately sorry as she sat up and towered over him, she tried to remember how Amelia and Lina had used their healing spells. "This might hurt a little..." she mumbled as she gently placed her hand over the wound. She closed her eyes and slightly started to chant something as silvery light slowly poured from her hand and onto the wound. She stopped and opened her eyes, staring down at Val to see if he was alright. Val gasped, but sighed as he nodded and gulped, finally letting out a slow breath.
"T-thank you..." He said as he lifted his good arm and reached out to her, wanting to be back in her arms. She smiled and gave a small laugh, instead of her playing mother, she leaned over and hugged him, making sure his head was clearly above hers. Val smiled and pulled her closer, this is what he wanted. Sighing softly, he snaked one arm around her waste and his other arm stroked her arm and her nape. "Thank you for saving me..." he whispered. Nahga blushed deeply. She hoped the hand at her hip wouldn't go any lower, but she was totally content with this. She pushed herself closer against him, closing her eyes in relaxation. Val brushed her hair away from her face and rubbed her cheek, shutting his eyes and mesmerizing the feel of her skin. Tracing her cheek, his hands went down to her neck, rubbing softly behind her ear. She bit her lower lip smiling as her hand found his on her hip. Val squeezed it with what little strength he had because of his wound and tickled her
throat before kissing the top of her head softly, almost afraid of her reaction. Nahga smiled. She didn't know how fast he went or if he was experienced, but if he wasn't she would fix that quickly. Val smiled and lifted her chin to look into her eyes, staring deep into them. `Oh...A gentleman...' Nahga thought with a slight smirk.
She leaned forward and nipped his chin twice for a boost. Val looked down at her with a smile, though inside he was very nervous. Leaning down, he pulled her up and nipped her neck and ear playfully, sucking on the skin just for a taste...he drowned in her sweet taste, and sucked harder, getting the hint that she was a wild girl. Nahga smiled at this as she opened her eyes slightly and saw a scrape on his shoulder where the spikes from her shoulder protectors dug into it. She unclipped it as it fell to the ground with in enormous clang. She moaned loudly from the lack of weight on her shoulders. She pulled back and rolled her shoulders around for the first time in years. Although about as fast as she pulled away she slid back into his arms running her hands up and down his back. Val smiled and leaned in, kissing her lightly though with hunger, rubbing her shoulders (though being careful for his arm) softly knowing it must feel good to have those off. Even though Nahga
probably took things roughly, she always enjoyed the first kiss. She stopped and leaned into him as she closed her eyes and kissed him back deeply. Val smiled and cupped one cheek with his hand and pressed his lips a little bit harder sliding his tongue across her top and lower lip very slowly to get her taste before probing her mouth for entrance. Nahga happily parted her lips as her tongue met his eagerly. She flicked her raven black hair behind her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Val groaned as he rubbed his lower body against hers, their tongue's dancing and fighting for dominance in eachother's mouth. Val pushed her tongue back into her mouth and followed it with his own. Nahga laughed lightly in her throat as she nipped and licked lightly at her new possession. Val moaned inwardly, thrusting against her without thinking. He couldn't believe how cool he was with this, she made him just as wild as she was. He won't complain either, the friction and the
passion was amazing, he suddenly forgot about his arm...thank God. He really had feelings for her, and she saw a side of him that most people never got to see...even himself. This scared him yes, but the way she made him feel made his nerves leave completely and a whole new side of him show up. She put her hand on his chest and with a slight push laid him down. She laughed slightly as she sat at his feet with a seductive look on her face. Val gulped, he had no clue what she was going to do, but he had a feeling it would be good. She had been making him feel amazing from the inside out the whole time so she had his complete trust and respect. He didn't know what she was doing, but this being knew to him, he'd let her do what she wanted.
She smiled as she got onto all fours and slowly started to crawl up to him. She stared directly at him and ran her tongue over her teeth as she now towered over him, staring directly down at him. Val felt his breath get heavy and hoarse as he slowly placed his hands on the bed sheets, something telling him he might need to grip them later. Somehow he managed to rub her side and look into her eyes with great affection.
"W-what are you g-going to do?" He asked, though half of him was scared, but the other half was excited and anticipating what she had planned. She smiled as her hand trailed down his chest, slowly unbuttoning the cloth that surrounded it. She leaned her neck down by his ear and whispered,
"Anything you wish..." She said seductively as she licked his ear then slowly laid herself upon him. Val moaned the feeling of her body on his taking over. He could feel his lower half needing attention and couldn't bring himself to say anything to her so just pressed against her, catching her into an amazing kiss. It wasn't hard or hungry, but soft and sensational. Nahga smiled. This proved to her that he wasn't using her, like nearly all the other men did. She melted against him as her leg rubbed happily against his. Though she grunted when she couldn't feel it because of her boots. She happily kissed though as her hands lay limply around his neck. Val smiled, and with all the strength he had left in his arms he rolled so she was on the bottom. Wincing from his arm, he managed to sit up with a smile. Kissing her softly, he crawled backwards, sitting on the edge of the bed. Slowly, he took one of her legs and slid the boot off, rubbing her feet to her knee. He continued
this treatment on her other leg, and slowly kissed the knee. Slowly, he went further up, rubbing her upper leg, hoping he was doing this right and he wasn't going too far too fast. Nahga hadn't done anything but smile and bite her lip, so he knew he was doing okay. Before he could go any further, the same doctor who had interrupted Lina and Gourry walked into the door. He immediately regretted it but chuckled when Val jumped off and landed in his bed red as a beat.
"How's your arm...?" He said with a smile. Val looked at the scratch mark Nahga had accidentally made in the heat of the moment and shrugged.
"Doesn't h-hurt..." He said with blush creeping up his face. The doctor's eyes widened.
"Your wound sir!" he said, reminding him that he was in the hospital for a reason. Val choked and if possible, got redder.
"Oh that! Yeah, it's fine!" He said, totally forgetting about it until now. Nahga laughed lightly to herself as she covered herself by going under the covers. The doctor rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he shut the door.
"I put two patients of the opposite sex in the same room and the results can be shocking..." He had meant that sarcastically but he was happy. "Maybe a new treatment..." He said with a blink and wrote something down as he walked off. Val shook as head and fell backward onto his pillow. He snuk one look at the beauty next to him then, smiling, fell asleep

AN: you like? R/R!
"I'm Nahga," she said almost silently. Filia smiled once more in response.
"Filia Ul-Copt, is there a last name that goes with that, Nahga...?" she asked confusingly. Nahga paused and stared at the ground. She knew very well what her last name was, but never liked to bring it up to people. Filia saw this and stopped. The two carried on a hearty conversation when the subject of Val came up. Filia told Nahga everything up to where he was reborn. Nahga did look fairly interested. "He really is a nice boy...he just...gets touchy on that subject..." Filia said softly. Nahga had a small sweatdrop forming. `No kidding...' Nahga thought as she looked at her arm. Filia and Nahga continued their talk on Val and other things, getting along quite well. Val, who looks at Filia in a mother figure, was searching for her the whole morning. She was the only one he would show any affection to, with an exception of Nahga last night, and ran right up to her without even a second glance towards the girl next to her. With a boyish grin, which was way out of his normal
blank expression, Val ran right up to her.
"Hi!" he greeted to her happily, oblivious to the fact that he was acting very strange and that someone else was there. Sitting down In an empty chair, he began to lick, scratch, and pick at his wound, the wrap bothering him. While he did so, Val still took no notice to the other person sitting with them. Nahga cleared her throat as she watched him, from what she thought go psychotic. She raised an eyebrow as she watched him lick at his wound like an injured puppy or cat. "Mum...when are we going to leave...I kinda wanna stay for just a little bit longer...?" He asked like a child for candy. Hearing someone clear his or her throat, Val turned. If there were a record for how fast color could drain from your face, he would win it hands down. Val froze. "N-Nahga...!" After shooting Filia the worst death glare ever, he slowly stood up. He was beyond humiliated. "I have things to do...nice talking." He said hastily before running out of the lobby and out to the forest where he
sat underneath bushes against a tree, his face buried in his hands. Nahga looked at Filia and slowly got up, exiting the lobby. She climbed the stairs and stopped when she forgot the slime halves. She gulped. The look on Filia's face was clearly visible: Fuck you. Although she knew it wasn't because of her, she knew it was because of that half ass. She snuk into the buffet and gathered the blue and pink slime halves and paled. The orange one was missing. She bolted outside faster than the blink of an eye, screaming at the top of her lungs. Val raised an eyebrow as the bouncing slime half in front of him mewed happily. Nahga saw this and breathed heavily, clearly pissed, her eyes held rage and fire, as if someone had tampered with her kid. Val left the blank look on his face once again as he picked it up, though his eyes lighted up clearly. Standing up, he felt his heart jump at the sound of her scream. Only one thought hit his head: shit. He wanted to hit himself, he was
never afraid of a woman, but something scared him about her which he mentally kicked himself for. Setting the slime half on the ground, he patted it and almost smiled as it ran in the direction of the scream. After he couldn't see it anymore, Val ducked back into his hiding spot. Nahga dropped the other two slime halves as she stomped over to him.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING WITH MY-eh...?" Nahga stopped and blinked at the flower on the ground. It looked fairly familiar...it was the one she kept behind her ear that he had given her. She blushed and gulped. Val looked at it and slowly brought his gaze up to her. Without a word he picked it up and looked at her. Standing up, he tucked the flower back behind her ear and looked down at the ground. He didn't want her to be upset, he was tired of constant fighting with people, and he didn't know why that slime half kept bugging him. Looking away, he pretended that she wasn't mad and felt himself feel a little better. She blinked. She was royally confused. Was he calling a truce? She felt herself reddening as she leaned onto one of her legs, her hands making their way to her hips. He was a couple inches taller than her which was almost impossible, she was a fairly tall woman, maybe about 6'0 even. Val looked at her and nodded before turning and walking away, stopping to
look back.
"The flower looks pretty on you..." he said truthfully before turning again. Nahga blushed, if possible, a deeper red as her feet sternly planted themselves onto the ground, unable to move. She snapped out of it as the three slime halves hopped up to her, peeping and mewing. She smiled as she leaned down and picked them up. She saw Lina and Gourry through the window and knew they were about to leave. She sat down and leaned against the same tree Val had when he was playing with a slime half.
Back in the hotel rooms, Lina rolled in her sleep and right off the bed. Finally sitting up, Lina blinked.
"Coooffffeeee...." She chanted. Of the many things Lina eats and drinks, coffee was by far her favorite, it was like her drug. She stopped immediately as a flash of blonde streaked by her. She blinked. Was that Gourry? He was obviously way more wired than she was in the morning, and to make matters worse he was probably going to get the same thing she was. Lina rushed out and grabbed a mug from a passing waiter carrying trays, leaving him shocked. Turning the corner, she skidded into the kitchen where Gourry was. Calmly she got some coffee and turned, only to find Gourry right next to her. Lina still didn't know how to act around him from last night and immediately blushed. "H-hi...!" She said lower than usual. Gourry blinked as he ripped at a huge piece of some kind of shank.
"Why are you stuttering?" he said through a mouthful of food. Lina blinked and stood up straighter.
"Huh? Oh just still a little tired that's all." She said coolly, smiling as usual and picked up a piece of food. Gourry now looked at a bare chicken bone as he reached over Lina's shoulder and grabbed at a couple doughnuts. Lina shut her eyes as she tried not to blush and or snatch the doughnuts. Without opening her eyes she turned, only to find he didn't move yet and once again slamming into his chest. He barely noticed this though, he was a little busy chowing down on some doughnuts but caught her before she hit the ground.
"Man, Lina, you mature slowly don't you?" he said with a slight laugh, of course talking about her breasts once again, which he obviously felt when she ran into him. Lina glared, pushing him off of her before stomping out of the room. In a blind rage she ran right up to her room and through her back on the bed and started throwing her clothes and things in it.
"That's it! They want to make fun of my breasts FINE! I do NOT need it from HIM!" she yelled to herself, throwing her bag over her shoulder. Stomping right out of the hotel, Lina had a ball of fire circling her, unnearving anyone who looked at her. Gourry saw this and immediately dropped his doughnuts and ran up to her.
"W-Wait!! Where're you going?" he asked, a small child's face plastered onto his. Lina stopped and blinked, turning to him.
"I'm leaving." She said simply, trying not to let her anger show. "If my breasts are -such a problem, I will just leave and let everyone be happy again." She said a little bit louder, anger shaking in her voice. Lina turned and started walking again. Gourry jumped in front of her and pushed her back, a sweatdrop lingering on the west side of his head.
"No, no! You can't leave!" Gourry said worriedly as he held her back. He finally gave up. "Fine but I'm coming with you!" He announced as Lina walked out, Gourry in tow, and greeted Nahga. The three stood and started to walk down the dusted road. Nahga looked left and right, looking for a familiar head of jade green hair, but to no avail. A loud shriek stopped them all.
"AHHHHH!" A pained voice yelled on the top of it's lungs. A familiar green haired boy stumbled onto the road, holding his arm that blood was spurting out from. A little boy by the age of 12 or 13 walked out laughing and pointing at Val, who was close to passing out from serious blood loss.
Lina's eyes widened as she froze.
"V-Val?" She stuttered.
"Haha! " The boy laughed, digging a stick into his arm after pulling out a bloody one, which he first stabbed him with. "Baby..." he teased. Val felt his head spin so he called for the one person he could think of.
"Nahga..." He called, dizzy and unaware that she was there. The slime halves were shocked beyond belief as on of them rolled off of her shoulder. Nahga quickly jumped over Val and put her hands out in front of her pointing her fingers toward the ground. Small snaps of electricity snapped from her fingertips as she slowly raised her arms.
"DEMONA CRYSTAL!" She yelled out as she pointed her hands toward the boy. In only a matter of seconds a trail of crystals that started form her feet surrounded the boy. He had a smirk on his face once frozen, she knew this wouldn't hold him long, she knew he was some kind of monster maybe Mazoku, maybe not. He could've easily been Phibrizzo had he not been dead. Yet, it could be a general or priest. She didn't know. All she did know is that it wasn't human. She turned around quickly, her cape flying behind her as she kneeled next to him, her cape in tow. She cringed as she looked at his arm. She was no expert at white magic, demona crystal was one of the three white magic spells she knew. She tried healing once on a small frog and killed it. Lina looked worried and knelt next to Nahga.
"The best thing for him is the hospital...c'mon...there's one back in town, we should go back. Maybe we can figure out what this boy was after..." Lina said softly in an unusual softer voice than she normally uses. She knew Nahga had somewhat feeling for him, and she also was still hurt from the words Gourry had said. Gourry, being as braindead as he is, didn't notice this. Nahga nodded slightly as she picked him up and gently and started walking back to the city. Only his back and the back of his legs were being supported, causing his head to hang loosely, his hair swinging to and fro. Val would moan and wince in pain now and then, his arm throbbing. Lina stayed in the front of the three, ready to strike at anyone and anything. This way, she could release her anger at Gourry, making it look like she was protecting Val. Gourry was catching on though and stared at the ground sadly, sighing. Once Nahga saw the familiar big red cross, she ran up, kicking the door open. Without
asking the nurse she ran him into the back room, pushing a patient for a checkup easily off. She laid Val down, the gourney immediately turning red from blood. Nahga could've sworn her heart stopped, her first impulse as to kneel next to the bed and squeeze his hand. The doctor rushed to his side, the other patient leaving.
"He needs help fast!" The doctor wasted no time and called for more help. He pushed Lina and Gourry out, but Val screamed and latched onto Nahga. The doctor gave in, but pushed her away just enough so he could get through. Still holding her hand, Val began to shake in fear. He had never been in a hospital before. He started to kick and thrash at the doctors, no matter how many times they said they were there to help. Finally the nurse came in and grabbed his arm, holding a needle with medicine in it that would calm him down and make him drowsy
"No! Please, No! Let me go! Nahga help me!" Val shouted, tears forming and falling down his cheeks. The nurse screamed over his shouts and told him it wouldn't hurt. Val couldn't hear though, he was too scared. His head and arm hurt a lot, and all he could see were five or six people shouting and screaming at him, holding him down and trying to grab at him...that would scare anybody. Val looked at Nahga and pleaded at her with his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a tiny prick in his forearm and suddenly his whole body felt like a deadweight. He relaxed and the loud shouts became low mumbling telling him he was alright and that he'd be fine and was doing great. Val felt the room spin and that hurt his head so he slowly shut his eyes, squeezing Nahga's hand with the weak strength that he had. He felt the doctors at his arms, but couldn't feel anything anymore. When the nurse said if he wanted anything to help his nerves all he could mumble was Nahga.
***
Back in the waiting room, Lina was staring out the window. She was worried about Nahga and Val, wondering if he'd pull through. She didn't know how to act if something went wrong, she was normally just carefree and rude. When she realized those things about Gourry it hurt when he teased her. She knew she was small breasted, but it's not her fault. She tried not to get mad, Gourry is just the kind of person who teases, but sometimes it just hurts. After Val had fallen unconscious the doctor shoved Nahga out of the room, she now sat next to Lina, her head buried in her hands, deep in thought. She had seen the soft side of him with his `mother', and personally she thought it was cute. But the way he acted in there, she knew it one of the first times in his life that he had truly been scared and he needed someone with him, he wanted her. She looked up slightly and blinked as the doctor nodded her back. She looked at Lina then stood as she walked back into the operating room.
Gourry sat beside Lina, twiddling his fingers and staring at them intently as if they were something interesting on TV. He knew Lina was mad at him, like she never was before, but this time it was different she was really mad at him this time, she was serious. Lina could tell Gourry knew she mad because he wasn't acting all hyper as usual. He knew she was mad and that was good, but she was more hurt than mad and she wondered if he understood why. Right now, she was so deep in her thoughts she couldn't even get the thoughts themselves straight. She needed to be there for Nahga if something bad happened, but everything seemed fine at the moment. Gourry cleared his throat, he was uncomfortable from the silence he turned his head and looked at Lina. Lina was ripped from her thoughts and blinked a few times, looking up at Gourry. She stared into his eyes for a long time, trying to find answers to many of her questions. Sighing, she looked back down at his shirt.
"Hey, Lina, are you still mad? Cause if so I-I'm sorry..." He said quietly as he looked back down into his lap. Lina paused, it was almost impossible for Gourry to realize when someone was mad, and impossible for a man to say sorry. Lina's walls and shields came crashing down and without a word she wrapped her arms around him and held him in a tight embrace, remembering the safe and warm feeling when he saved her at the pool. He was confused, she could have such mood swings, he thought, but gratefully hugged her back. He leaned back in the chair, stretching out as he held the small ball in his arms. He pulled a blanket from a table next to him and threw it over them. He didn't know if she'd hit him or not, but he slightly cuddled and rubbed his cheek against her forehead before closing his eyes and relaxing. Lina's breath caught in her throat at how open he was being, but relaxed with him and rested with him. She couldn't have said anything if she wanted awhile ago and was
glad that he accepted the hug. Sighing inwardly, she rested her head on his chest, the warmth from the blanket soothing her and she rose and fell with his chest as he breathed. Slowly, hesitantly, Lina ran her hand up and down his arm without thinking much of it, just something to do. She could feel his body stiffen, he obviously was inexperienced at this. Though after a while he relaxed under her touch. She didn't mean to make it seem as though she was coming at him, but she was glad that he relaxed, it made her feel a little better. Shutting her eyes, Lina was tranced in the sound of his calm breathing. Gourry smiled as he pulled her more onto his lap and ran his knuckles repeatedly and softly up and down her arm, mimicking what she had done. Lina smiled, enjoying the soft and touch. Carefully, yet uncertainly, Lina ran her hand up and down his chest, just wondering if he was okay with this slight gesture. The corner of Gourry's lips pulled into a smile as he opened his
eyes just a crack, revealing the deep blue depths. Lina smiled, staring into his enchanting eyes, then resting her head back down, still continuing her treatment on his chest. He leaned down slightly and very lightly brushed his lips across her forehead repeatedly. Lina felt electricity flow through her body as she gasped softly, but smiled and let him continue as she relaxed against this new feeling. He brought his hand up to her chin and tilted her face upward as he trailed his kisses slowly down her nose, taking as much of her taste possible.
Lina felt herself shaking at his lips, shutting her eyes and taking in the feel happily. Lina bit her lip to suppress a moan that rested deep in her throat. He leaned down and kissed the small stretch of skin right above her upper lip, waiting to see her reaction. After releasing her teeth off her lip, Lina gripped his shirt softly, a low whimper leaving her lips. Her whole body was tingling, she never felt that with anybody nor had she ever liked anyone so this was all new to her. He looked at her, seeing as though she was enjoying this he took possession of her top lip, sucking on it lightly. Lina could have passed out right there, she had never had anything physical with another guy and was really liking the feeling. Gripping his shirt tighter, she moaned audibly in her throat, falling into the feeling. Gourry moved his head to the side and took full possession of her mouth, sucking lightly at first, then nudging her lips lightly with his tongue. Lina was completely new
to this and eagerly allowed his tongue in, rubbing hers softly against massaging that sensitive vein under his tongue gently. Gourry's arms made themselves around her waist and back as he laid her down and kissed her passionately. Lina felt her stomach jolt as he laid her down but allowed it happily.
She kissed him back, putting her hands in his hair and keeping them there, pushing her hips up to shift into a better position, amazed at the friction it caused. Gourry smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and back as he moved his kisses down her neck. He chose one specific spot and stuck there as he lightly started to suck. He split his lips slightly as he let his tongue run over her smooth skin. Lina's whole body shook that being one of her weak spots, feeling herself shudder. She returned the favor and bit down on his ear before sucking the skin to release the pain from her bite. Gourry didn't care, it was Lina Inverse, the one who hated him, sitting here making out with him. He was happy. He switched to the other side of her neck and hungrily went down as one of his hands ran down her side. Lina moaned loudly, bucking her hips slightly without thinking. This, Gourry had to say, turned him on. He laughed slightly in his throat as his lips made their way back to
hers. Lina had to smile as she kissed him hungrily, though still with soft innocence. One hand made it's way down to his chest, side, and slowly his waste, threatening to do more. Gourry had to admit he was still nervous, but as of the moment he'd do anything for Lina. He pulled back and supported himself on his hands as he stared down at her. Her hair was scattered every which way, the curls bouncing lightly as she breathed. A smile came to his lips. Lina smiled back up at him, running the hand that was in his hair on his shoulder, and the other resting on his hip.
"W-Wow, Lina..." He stuttered, blushing furiously. Lina took in a deep breath.
"Y-yeah I know..." She smiled, pulling his head a little closer. She was totally new to this all, but the fact that it was with Gourry made it all the better. Lina wanted the heat, the contact, the closeness, she wanted it back...now. Gourry gave a small yelp as she pulled him back down quickly, though smiled as he held her tightly and kissed her deeply once more. Lina felt her world spinning, and her body on fire. She kissed him back just as passionately, holding him close just to feel him in her arms once more. She couldn't help but moan at the thought of Gourry on top of her, she just couldn't believe it! Again, her hand made its way down to his hip, bucking her hips to let him feel what she could make him feel again, resting her hip there until he was ready. She wouldn't even dare to touch like that if he didn't want to, this was not just about sex, she did have respect towards him. He was slightly embarrassed but hid it as his lower half woke up and his hands ran down
her sides. Lina's eyes widened as she could feel his problem, but moaned because it hit all the right spots. Smiling, Lina kissed him deeply, her hand just barely rubbing his inner thigh softly. Gourry moaned lightly, he had not been experienced with this, but all he knew is that it felt good and he wanted more. Lina smiled, loving the sound of him moaning and the fact that she made him feel good. But she wasn't sure if he wanted her to go further than that.
"Are you okay with that?" She whispered, her lips grazing his earlobe. Gourry had no idea what she meant, being the guy he is, but the tempting certainly made him nod. Lina laughed, pressing harder on his inner thigh, moving a little more towards the real prize as she capturing him in yet another sweet kiss. Gourry groaned as he immediately squeezed Lina's hand tightly while slipping his tongue here and there somewhere on her body. Lina moaned happily, about to move her hand to the center of his legs when she heard a cough. Rolling over quickly, Lina sat up in Gourry's lap.
"Sorry about that...there's a bed in room 3...its empty...so goodnight.." The doctor said hastily, before walking away flushed. Lina sighed before laughing with Gourry and walking into the room and laying down on the blanket.
"I guess we should sleep..." Lina said regretfully and patted the bed for him to come lay with her. "Come here..." She said softly, already growing tired. She knew he was probably pissed because she didn't get to move her hand exactly where she planned to. Gourry smiled as he through down the armor part of his suit and climbed in next to her, curling into a ball and falling asleep. Lina smiled as she grabbed one of his hands and followed in suit.
***
"He's lost too much blood sir...what are we going to do?" The nurse whispered back in the room where Nahga lay by his side. Val was shaking again, he had heard them and was in fear for his life. He had so many things he wanted to do with his life and also with Nahga and didn't need to hear he would die.
"Yes but we've ran out of blood transfusions...so unless we can find someone who matches his blood type...there not much more we can do, it's in God's hands." Nahga looked up at this, she stood and walked over to the doctor asking if she could try to give blood. The doctor hesitated, but took a sample and almost fainted.
"You have the same blood type! Ma'am...you just might have saved this man's life!" He announced and smiled widely. Val whimpered, he was happier than anything to hear that, but his arm hurt so much. The doctor frowned and took Nahga and sat her on and extra bed. "Alright Nurse Peterson, Please hurry and take her blood..." He said. The nurse did so, and soon had enough to give to Val. Val felt sick to his stomach and passed out. The doctor had Nahga stay with him, but try to get some rest because she had a lot of blood taken from her. They also told her that once she is rested up she should stay with Val until he is better, which might takes from a few weeks to months. For now, they wanted them to spend the night to get the rest they need.
Once night had fallen, Nahga had reached over weakly and pulled her gourney to his, she was honestly going to go mad if she didn't talk to someone. She smacked him lightly across the head, desperately trying to wake him up. "Val!" she whispered loudly. Val moaned and opened his eyes, the pain and shock smacking him full force. Suddenly, he realized how afraid he was and how much he owed Nahga, right now he wanted someone to hold him. Without hesitation, Val rolled onto her bed and curled up into a ball, resting his head under her chin. He didn't reach out to her since his arm hurt too much and just lay there, wanting her affection, which is something that doesn't happen much. He whimpered, letting her know that he wanted to be held, he was almost as though that little boy again, lost and afraid. He couldn't stop the tears of fright and pain that fell free. Nahga stiffened. NO ONE had been this close to her before, body and all. There was Julliano, but only his lips had
grazed her cheek (AN: Slayers The Motion Picture, you can get it in music stores. I got mine in Tower Records ^^;), but his body had been a distance from hers. She was taken by surprise, as of the slime halves as they stared down in jealousy at Val. Nahga smiled though as she wrapped one arm around him and the other rested on his neck, her hand stroking his head softly. She still wasn't going to let go from talking. "Do you feel better...?" She asked sincerely. Val shuddered as her breath brushed his neck. All the memories of his childhood haunted him and he was glad to be back in arms of those who cared for him.
"I-I don't know...my a-arm hurt...but I feel better with...y-you..." He managed out, his body racked with silent sobs. He was glad she was holding him, he had never felt anything like this and welcomed the new feeling that stirred inside him. He slowly shut his eyes, though still wake, and let his breathing come slow again, taking in her scent greedily. She continued to stroke his head as her hand went in small circular motions, messaging out a knot she had found.
"I'm glad," she started. She then gave a small laugh. "How hard is it to put up with mommy dearest? She seems to get pissed off real easily," she said, trying to strike up a conversation with some laugh. Val smiled faintly, still not used to that gesture.
"Yeah...she's strict." He said softly, nuzzling his head up against her. Nahga smiled at this, then frowned. She felt more of a mother as of the moment rather than a friend...or more...in need.
"C'mon talk to me...! That's the reason I woke you up!" Nahga whined. She had never been this open to anyone, she never bent lower than their level, especially begging. She was always hyper and stubborn. Val blushed and bit his lip.
"I-I...I don't know how to a-act...I've never had feelings for anyone before..." Val gaped, he did not just say that out loud! He was nervous, but he hoped she didn't push her away, he really liked being in her arms. Val winced, his arm shooting in pain again. Nahga blinked in confusion. Feelings?
"What exactly do you mean by `feelings'?..." she asked confusingly. Val looked up.
"I-I...I'm not sure...not mother to son...o-or sister...I think m-more than just friends too....I-I shouldn't have said anything..." He said softly and started to sit up, embarrassed beyond belief. Nahga blinked in confusion but quickly grabbed his uninjured arm. She smiled.
"I gave you blood and this is how you repay me?" She said sarcastically. Val immediately feel back into his spot, tears forming fast in his eyes as his arm throbbed. He wanted to yell, but he couldn't get his voice to work. His body shook as he cried, begging for her too fix the pain while mumbling sorry over and over for trying to get up and for crying like a little kid. Nahga was also immediately sorry as she sat up and towered over him, she tried to remember how Amelia and Lina had used their healing spells. "This might hurt a little..." she mumbled as she gently placed her hand over the wound. She closed her eyes and slightly started to chant something as silvery light slowly poured from her hand and onto the wound. She stopped and opened her eyes, staring down at Val to see if he was alright. Val gasped, but sighed as he nodded and gulped, finally letting out a slow breath.
"T-thank you..." He said as he lifted his good arm and reached out to her, wanting to be back in her arms. She smiled and gave a small laugh, instead of her playing mother, she leaned over and hugged him, making sure his head was clearly above hers. Val smiled and pulled her closer, this is what he wanted. Sighing softly, he snaked one arm around her waste and his other arm stroked her arm and her nape. "Thank you for saving me..." he whispered. Nahga blushed deeply. She hoped the hand at her hip wouldn't go any lower, but she was totally content with this. She pushed herself closer against him, closing her eyes in relaxation. Val brushed her hair away from her face and rubbed her cheek, shutting his eyes and mesmerizing the feel of her skin. Tracing her cheek, his hands went down to her neck, rubbing softly behind her ear. She bit her lower lip smiling as her hand found his on her hip. Val squeezed it with what little strength he had because of his wound and tickled her
throat before kissing the top of her head softly, almost afraid of her reaction. Nahga smiled. She didn't know how fast he went or if he was experienced, but if he wasn't she would fix that quickly. Val smiled and lifted her chin to look into her eyes, staring deep into them. `Oh...A gentleman...' Nahga thought with a slight smirk.
She leaned forward and nipped his chin twice for a boost. Val looked down at her with a smile, though inside he was very nervous. Leaning down, he pulled her up and nipped her neck and ear playfully, sucking on the skin just for a taste...he drowned in her sweet taste, and sucked harder, getting the hint that she was a wild girl. Nahga smiled at this as she opened her eyes slightly and saw a scrape on his shoulder where the spikes from her shoulder protectors dug into it. She unclipped it as it fell to the ground with in enormous clang. She moaned loudly from the lack of weight on her shoulders. She pulled back and rolled her shoulders around for the first time in years. Although about as fast as she pulled away she slid back into his arms running her hands up and down his back. Val smiled and leaned in, kissing her lightly though with hunger, rubbing her shoulders (though being careful for his arm) softly knowing it must feel good to have those off. Even though Nahga
probably took things roughly, she always enjoyed the first kiss. She stopped and leaned into him as she closed her eyes and kissed him back deeply. Val smiled and cupped one cheek with his hand and pressed his lips a little bit harder sliding his tongue across her top and lower lip very slowly to get her taste before probing her mouth for entrance. Nahga happily parted her lips as her tongue met his eagerly. She flicked her raven black hair behind her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Val groaned as he rubbed his lower body against hers, their tongue's dancing and fighting for dominance in eachother's mouth. Val pushed her tongue back into her mouth and followed it with his own. Nahga laughed lightly in her throat as she nipped and licked lightly at her new possession. Val moaned inwardly, thrusting against her without thinking. He couldn't believe how cool he was with this, she made him just as wild as she was. He won't complain either, the friction and the
passion was amazing, he suddenly forgot about his arm...thank God. He really had feelings for her, and she saw a side of him that most people never got to see...even himself. This scared him yes, but the way she made him feel made his nerves leave completely and a whole new side of him show up. She put her hand on his chest and with a slight push laid him down. She laughed slightly as she sat at his feet with a seductive look on her face. Val gulped, he had no clue what she was going to do, but he had a feeling it would be good. She had been making him feel amazing from the inside out the whole time so she had his complete trust and respect. He didn't know what she was doing, but this being knew to him, he'd let her do what she wanted.
She smiled as she got onto all fours and slowly started to crawl up to him. She stared directly at him and ran her tongue over her teeth as she now towered over him, staring directly down at him. Val felt his breath get heavy and hoarse as he slowly placed his hands on the bed sheets, something telling him he might need to grip them later. Somehow he managed to rub her side and look into her eyes with great affection.
"W-what are you g-going to do?" He asked, though half of him was scared, but the other half was excited and anticipating what she had planned. She smiled as her hand trailed down his chest, slowly unbuttoning the cloth that surrounded it. She leaned her neck down by his ear and whispered,
"Anything you wish..." She said seductively as she licked his ear then slowly laid herself upon him. Val moaned the feeling of her body on his taking over. He could feel his lower half needing attention and couldn't bring himself to say anything to her so just pressed against her, catching her into an amazing kiss. It wasn't hard or hungry, but soft and sensational. Nahga smiled. This proved to her that he wasn't using her, like nearly all the other men did. She melted against him as her leg rubbed happily against his. Though she grunted when she couldn't feel it because of her boots. She happily kissed though as her hands lay limply around his neck. Val smiled, and with all the strength he had left in his arms he rolled so she was on the bottom. Wincing from his arm, he managed to sit up with a smile. Kissing her softly, he crawled backwards, sitting on the edge of the bed. Slowly, he took one of her legs and slid the boot off, rubbing her feet to her knee. He continued
this treatment on her other leg, and slowly kissed the knee. Slowly, he went further up, rubbing her upper leg, hoping he was doing this right and he wasn't going too far too fast. Nahga hadn't done anything but smile and bite her lip, so he knew he was doing okay. Before he could go any further, the same doctor who had interrupted Lina and Gourry walked into the door. He immediately regretted it but chuckled when Val jumped off and landed in his bed red as a beat.
"How's your arm...?" He said with a smile. Val looked at the scratch mark Nahga had accidentally made in the heat of the moment and shrugged.
"Doesn't h-hurt..." He said with blush creeping up his face. The doctor's eyes widened.
"Your wound sir!" he said, reminding him that he was in the hospital for a reason. Val choked and if possible, got redder.
"Oh that! Yeah, it's fine!" He said, totally forgetting about it until now. Nahga laughed lightly to herself as she covered herself by going under the covers. The doctor rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he shut the door.
"I put two patients of the opposite sex in the same room and the results can be shocking..." He had meant that sarcastically but he was happy. "Maybe a new treatment..." He said with a blink and wrote something down as he walked off. Val shook as head and fell backward onto his pillow. He snuk one look at the beauty next to him then, smiling, fell asleep
