The moment he put his hands on her, Jade snapped to ateention. What was happening? Was this real? He was actually hugging her.. Without realizing it, she settled into his arms, enjoying the loving embrace. He cuddled her, mostly out of instict, and want, as he contemplated. 'What should I do now? Take her, and fulfill the dreams? Or leave.. And claim this world as my own. Lord knows I won't let free my brothers and sisters..' At the same time, Jade was thinking, also, 'We can't just stay here hugging. Are those dreams really going to come true? Are we really going to.. have sex?'

"I don't know what to do now.." He murmured, as he pulled away. "I want to take you." Jade gazed up at him. She didn't know whether to let him have her, or to say no. The passio in those dreams..Love, devotion. Sex. Too many things to thinka bout. She turned around quickly. "Tso Lan, I don't even know you, all I know yuo by is from.. Nevermind. I don't know what to say. I'm not even sure if it was so right to let you free. I won't let you.." She immediately regretted saying that.

Tso Lan was a demon. Bred and born. Body, mind,a nd soul. He'd had a 'human' enough mind, anythign considered, if a body can think of itslef, and reason, then technically, it's 'human'. Jade knew this, and had taken it for granted. All too soon, becuase Tso Lan, more dignified, intelligent, and well-bred than his siblings, still was a demon. And demons, all demons, have short fused tempers. "I am Tso Lan, demon of the moon, and you're just a kid. Don't tell me yuo don't think it was'nt too good an idea to free me! You don't know the hell I've bent through!..And as for taking you...You don't have a say.."

She turned around quickly,her eyes wide with shock, and she began backing away, until she'd reached the wall.. As he'd let off with his rant, he'd glided after her, up into her face he yelled, and he'd grabbed her hands, and pinned them back to the walls. He leaned against her, seething. Jade screamed in terror, realizing what he was about to do, thrashing like a lunatic, even though he was too strong. "Please, don't!" 'Gods, no! I can't let this happen to me! I can't lose it like this..' Jade's mind screamed.

Tso Lan froze in horror of what he'd just done, what he was so close to doing. "I...I didn't mean it... Jade..!" He let go of her wrists immediately, backing away. He had a short temper, he knew. But he didn't think he'd loose it this way. Jade stared at him, scared and confused. "You're not going to.. Rape me..?" He winced inwardly to the words. He'd done that once, before he'd been put into the netherworld the FIRST time. He did'nt mean it then, and surely not now. "Jade.. Please, forgive me. I did not mean that. It's.." He snarled and turned his head, not saying more.

Instead, he hovered across her room, to the door. "Is this your home..?" Jade stiffened, and nodded. "Yes, I'ts my own apartment, My dad rented it out for me..." "Hnn.. So there's noone else here..?" "No, and I want to keep it that way.." Jade immediately regretted saying that, as Tso winced slightly. "No,I mean.. Anyone besides US.." He looked at her funny, then replied smugly, "You'd suggest we'd live together..?" Jade blushed, and he laughed. "To go out on a limb is'nt a good idea, but, I'd like that, you know.." She stared at him. "I only have one bed roo-" She shut up, realizing what the answer to that problem was.

"I'm very sorry that I.. Almost.." Jade smiled at him. "Tso, it's okay. I remember I lost my temper, and threw a porcelain cat out my window once.." "You threw a live animal..?" "Huh..? No, a porcelain cat.." "Porcelain is..?" Now Jade realized Just how long he'd really been in netherworld. He did'nt even know what porcelain was. Porcelain, ((in truth, on this..)) had been around for hundreds of years. "It's a type of pottery..Or glass..." "Oh.. I have missed so much.." He muttered to himself. Jade contemplated, then got an idea. "Want to see what all has happened in this world since you were last back?" She grabbed him by the hand, and dragged him into her living room, where her T.V. was, and her computer. "I'll just show you how to use these, then you can learn!!" Tso Lan gazed at her, a strange feeling coming over him. All at once, he realized what it was. Joy. Love. Two feelings he hdan't felt in so long.
