Chapter 22 Misinterpretation
Nira woke up only to find Zen, who was under the covers, still asleep. She wanted to get up but it was too comfortable for her to get up. She felt the warmth of Zen's body close to hers. She slowly moved her body closer to Zen to savor the warmth. She slowly moved her arms closer to Zen and slowly moved the covers off him. What she saw made her gasp.
Zen was not the person next to her. Instead he was replaced by another Sangheili whom was naked. Nira blinked, she couldn't quite understand what she saw. Once the shocked set in the realization smacked her like a hammer. Her head started raising red flags with unnerving questions.
'Did I just sleep with another Sangheili?!' she thought to herself.
'Wait… that's impossible I clearly remember that I slept with Zen last night.' then another realization hit her.
'I'm gonna be so screwed if Zen found out…Wait better yet WHERE THE HECK IS ZEN?!' she thought again.
'Who the hell is this guy!?' she asked herself. For her safety she slowly went out of the bed. But before she could even move, the hands of the Sangheili grabbed her and pulled her closer to the body. She tried her best to wiggle out of the embrace but he only tightened it. The Sangheili placed his mandibles on her neck and nibbled affectionately.
That's when a frightening thought crossed her head. She was getting raped. She wanted to scream so bad but stopped herself as she remembered that N'kev and Jess were just around the corner. She didn't know how this Sangheili will react to seeing the children suddenly burst into the room. So the best thing she did was to slowly wiggle out of the embrace.
But to her fear it only tightened more. She kept trying to wiggle her way out but the arms around her kept tightening preventing her from escaping. Then she felt the Sangheili place its head on her shoulder,
"Stop squirming." the Sangheili growled playfully. That's when she knew it would be futile to try wiggling her way out. She froze in her place. The Sangheili seem to notice that she froze like a statue and asked in the most concern voice Nira ever heard,
"Nira, what's wrong?"
'By. The. Rings. It knows my name. But I don't know his.' The Sangheili noticed that she didn't answer. He turned her around so that he can face her. He noticed that she seemed to be frighten so he asked her again,
"Nira, what's wrong?" She didn't answer instead her mandibles were quivering.
She didn't know how to respond to the question of the Sangheili in front of her. If she were to tell him what's wrong she didn't know how he would respond.
"Nira, are you in pain?" he asked really concerned now. She shook her head.
"Then tell me what's wrong." he asked. Nira gulped. She wished that the Sangheili will understand from her point of view.
"You are." she watched as the Sangheili's features changed from concern to a little bit confused.
"What's wrong with me?" he asked.
"Who are you?" she asked him. This made the Sangheili even more confused.
"What are you talking about? It's me, Zen." Zen didn't quite understand what was going on. It was quite odd for Nira to act like this. She looks she's seen a ghost.
Nira's mind completely went next passed overdrive which is hyperdrive. It started processing every bit of information she had received from the sentence the Sangheili gave. He just told her that he was Zen. That did not add up because, A. Zen was a human. B. The person in front of her was a Sangheili. It just didn't make any sense.
"No, you are not Zen." she said shaking her in disbelief. Zen just looked at her still confused.
"I think you should look in the mirror." said Nira. Zen sat up and went to the bathroom. He didn't bother covering himself up with clothes. He opened the door and looked at the mirror on top of the sink. What he saw made him scream in horror. The figure that was reflected by the mirror was not his face. Instead it showed a Sangheili looking back at him with his mandibles agape.
"AH!!!" he screamed. He recognized his voice sounded even different. He touched his head, trying to make sure it was really there. He touched his 4 mandibles. They were real. He looked at his hand. Instead of 4 fingers and a thumb, he had 2 thumbs 2 fingers. His eye color was still the same to his comfort. It was still green. Then he looked down on himself. This action made him hyperventilate. He looked down and to his horror, his...his…his…Manhood wasn't there anymore! This entirely made him faint.
* * * * * *
"…Uh…" groaned Zen as he woke up. He was lying on the bed, oddly still naked. But he didn't pretty much care. 'Cause he just had one of the weirdest dreams he ever had. In his dream, he woke up that he became a Sangheili. He just chuckled at the thought of it. He then rubbed his eyes with his hand. As he rubbed it, he felt his hand brush against his mouth. He felt it brush against two stumps.
It wasn't a dream after all.
He DID become a Sangheili. All of it was true. Zen groaned at the thought of it all. He then stood up and stretched. His joints cracked as he did this. He approached his closet and chose some pair of clothing. After some modifications he managed to wear the clothes with ease. He felt his stomach rumble as he remembered ha hadn't eaten breakfast.
He stepped out and went downstairs. To his surprise she could smell food on the table. He sat down on one of the chairs then Nira came out of the corner. She had her arms crossed across her chest. Zen looked at her with his mandibles drooped.
She felt pity as she saw her consort have trouble eating food. Of course, Zen only knew how to eat with one jaw and not 4. So with a sigh, she approached Zen and helped him eat. She took the utensil and spoon fed Zen, much like a mother would do to her children.
"Thanks." muttered Zen as he took swallowed the food in his mouth.
"Where are the kids?" he asked.
"They're at Viper's. He agreed to baby-sit them for the day, since he wasn't busy. I already told the kids about your condition and they seem to understand it quite easily." Zen gave him an odd looked but dropped it.
"What am I going to do with you?" said Nira with a slight smirk.
"I don't know. I can't even remember what happened that made me into this." answered Zen gloomily.
"Well then we have to figure it out, don't we?" asked Nira.
"I guess your right." groaned Zen.
"Well we need to go to The Hub again." said Nira standing up.
"Why?" asked Zen.
"Because I need to buy you clothes that'll fit you." said Nira with a smirk. Zen couldn't help but chuckle.
* * * * *
The 2 walked down the halls of The Hub and was headed to H&A. Nira was holding Zen's hand.
"Why are you holding my hand?" asked Zen. Nira looked at him,
"What? Is it wrong to hold hands with your consort?" she asked. Zen shook his head but asked,
"Well people may recognize you and…" he trailed off.
"Stop worrying Zen." assured Nira.
"Ok." said Zen.
"C'mon we need to buy you clothes." she said as they stepped into the H&A Store.
* * * * *
Zide was walking down the halls of The Hub, due to the fact he needed to buy a few things. As he was walking, he saw a very peculiar site. First he didn't understand what he saw. He saw Nira with another Sangheili. But that wasn't the one making it wrong. He saw her holding hands with the Sangheili. This made his curiosity spark and he followed them. He quickly took a shortcut and hid behind a shrub. The two passed by the shrub he was hiding and he heard a bit of their conversation.
"Why are you holding my hand?" asked the male Sangheili.
"What? Is it wrong to hold hands with your consort?" answered Nira.
Then he couldn't hear anymore of the conversation as he was shocked by what he had just heard.
"Is it wrong to hold hands with your consort?" the sentence kept replaying in his head. It was like cold ice to his ears. He could clearly remember that Zen was Nira's consort. This all wrong. Nira said it like he was so sure about it. Who was this Sangheili with her?
Zide rose from the bush and got a glimpse of the couple as they walked into H&A. He took down the details of the male Sangheili: Tall, 7 ft. Weight, fare. Skin tone, jet black. Muscle build, well built.
'I've never seen this guy before.' he thought to himself. Then a frightening thought came to him.
'Was Nira cheating on Zen?! No… that's impossible, she wouldn't do that.' he shook his head.
'Who does this guy think he is?! Nira already has a family of her own. Does this man have no honor!?' he was getting angry.
'I'll have to get to the bottom of this. I'll need backup.' he quickly approached the nearest payphone and dialed number of their apartment. It gave 2 rings then someone picked up.
"This is Z'jo 'Evanam speaking, who is this?" asked Z'jo.
"Z'jo it's me Zide." then he heard Z'jo sigh at the other end.
"Ok, what is it?" he asked.
"We have a problem." he asked emphasizing the word 'problem'. Z'jo noticed the seriousness in his voice,
"What's the problem?"
"I think… I think… Nira is cheating on Zen." There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then he heard Z'jo laugh nervously.
"What are you talking about? That's preposterous."
"No, its not; Get down here at The Hub right now." he heard Z'jo snort at the other end.
"Ok, if it makes you happy." then the line went dead.
* * * * *
Zen and Nira went inside the H&A and started buying Zen some clothes for him, Sangheili clothes. Afterwards they headed for lunch, in which they decided they would be taking it in The Hub. They stepped in one of the restaurants named, Sangheili Delights. They sat down and ordered food. They had minimal chatter until the food came and that's when they ate.
"Nira, you don't have to feed me anymore." said Zen a little bit annoyed.
"C'mon I like doing It." said Nira playfully as she held up one of the dining sticks to Zen's mouth.
"Ok." said Zen giving up and he plucked the meat out of the sticks.
* * * * *
"See that! They're feeding each other!" exasperated Zide to Z'jo who was behind a bush. They could see Nira and the male Sangheili from the window of the restaurant.
"That could mean anything. Maybe he's a friend." said Z'jo.
"A friend that wasn't introduced to us?" asked Zide. Z'jo exhaled.
"Should we tell father about this?" Z'jo asked.
"No! I don't think he can take it very well." said Zide.
"Look, now they're holding hands again!" cried Zide as he looked into the restaurant again. There he saw Nira and the Sangheili holding hands.
"This is getting out of hand." said Z'jo.
"Should we confront Nira about this tomorrow?" asked Zide.
"Tomorrow then." said Z'jo.
* * * * *
Zen and Nira had enjoyed their day on The Hub. As they got inside their house Zen sat on the couch, exhausted. He never knew Sangheili could get tired, and when they do get tired, they're tired. Nira was at the kitchen fixing dinner for the kids. N'kev and Jess were still at Viper's but Viper assured them that he'll drop the children off before dinner time. Then someone knocked on the door.
"I'll get it." said Zen. He stood up and approached the door. He opened it and saw Stahn outside. Thinking quickly he called Nira.
"Nira, someone's looking for you!" he shouted and discreetly hid himself. He stood behind a pillar of the house and listened intently.
"Nira who was that?" asked Stahn curiously.
"Um… He's a… neighbor." Stahn raised an eyebrow but didn't pry.
"Anyway, I'm looking for Zen, have you seen him?" this made Nira discreetly shudder.
"Um…He's not here right now." she answered.
"Where is he?" he asked.
"I honestly don't know but I can relay the message for him." Stahn narrowed his eyes but didn't go any further.
"Well ok, tell him that Zide and Z'jo were looking for him; said it was urgent." Nira nodded. "Anything else?" she asked.
"No that's all." answered Stahn.
"Ok, then goodbye." then Nira closed the door. Stahn was shocked by the sudden un-hospitality and was transfixed in his position.
"Psst! Stahn get back here." called a voice behind a tree. Stahn snapped out of his position and went to the voice.
"So what do you think?" asked Zide.
"I don't know, she's obviously hiding something." Z'jo nodded.
"Well it's settled then, well confront the 2 of them tomorrow." said Z'jo.
* * * * * *
Zen sighed as he washed himself in the shower; the warm water relaxing his alien body muscles. It felt quite odd as the water hit his scaly skin; a completely new feeling. He sighed again as he turned the shower off and toweled off. He dressed himself in his nightclothes. He went to the lights, turned it off, and went under the covers. Nira who was already there, snuggled up to him.
Zen sighed, and wrapped his arms around her. And a thought crossed his mind.
"I may get stuck with this body for a while so…" he trailed. Nira looked up to him.
"So?" she asked.
"Um… Nira I really don't want to ask you this but…" he trailed. Nira sat up and looked at him.
"But…?" she asked curious now.
"But…" Zen gulped. "…Can…you… teach me about your…reproductive system." the last two words came out more of a whisper.
Nira smirked and understood what he really wanted to know. Then a somewhat twisted cruel thought came to her mind. Zen technically was still a virgin Sangheili. This is going to be interesting, since virgin Sangheili's were very, very sensitive. She planned on giving Zen the time of his life.
"Ok." she smiled at herself.
"Take off your clothes then." Zen looked at her a little bit disturbed by the tone of her voice but nevertheless complied.
"You really are straight forward aren't you." said Zen as he stood up. He quickly undressed. He was about to walk to the lights to turn it on but Nira intervened,
"Don't turn the lights on." Zen was intrigued,
"Why?" Nira smiled mischievously to herself in which Zen didn't see since it was dark.
"'Cause I'll be using a different technique to teach you." she answered.
"Ok then lie down on the bed." she said. Zen hesitated for a moment but then complied.
"I want you to relax and close your eyes." Zen did so.
"Ok." Nira cleared her throat. "Contrary to human belief the reproductive organs of Sangheili's are both internal." She placed her hand on Zen's crotch.
The sudden contact of her hand made Zen flinch; Nira noticed this and asked,
"Zen, are you ok?" Zen gulped and answered,
"It's nothing, please continue." his voice sounded hoarse for some reason. Nira knew exactly what Zen was feeling and this was what she wanted.
"Ok… Although in Sangehili's the males are the only one who has an internal and external reproductive organ." she brushed her hand on Zen's crotch.
The sudden action made Zen flinch again. It felt like electricity was passing through him. Nira noticed it and asked,
"Zen is there something wrong?" he only shook his head. Nira grinned smugly. She was pleasuring Zen, and Zen was completely oblivious to it since he was still getting used to the sensations.
"The male Sangheili's main reproductive organ only comes out when he is aroused." she slowly rubbed Zen's crotch.
The sudden sensations made Zen flinch again. Nira who understood what he was feeling asked,
"Zen, that's the third time you did that. What's wrong?" but she already knew what was causing him to flinch.
"Its…It's…-"but Nira cut him off.
"Is it because when I do this?" she asked seductively. She rubbed Zen's crotch in a circular motion. The sudden rush of sensation made Zen almost faint. He's breathing became raspy. His mandibles started quivering making him talk in stutters.
"Ye…Yes…" he gulped. He hoped that Nira would stop doing that. But to his utter horror she didn't stop instead she kept rubbing it, slowly and deliberately.
"Nira…Please...Stop…" he was breathing quite heavily now. She didn't stop. Instead she kept rubbing more.
"Please…Stop…I'm begging you…Stop…" he's voice barely audible due to him hyperventilating. Nira nuzzled him lovingly then whispered in his ear,
"Why should I stop it when it feels good for you?" Zen tried to move his hands to stop her but he was clearly too much influenced by the pleasures he was receiving that he couldn't move them. That's when it dawned on Zen that he was now only under the mercy of his wife. He then felt his shaft hardened. Nira gave an audible 'Hmmm…' clearly impressed. She then grabbed it and squeezed gently.
Zen could feel tears tracing cold trails down his cheeks as he squeezed his eyes shut even tighter. His breath was rasping, and his mandibles were quivering uncontrollably. Nira added just a little pressure in just the right place and Zen lost control. Zen gasped his eyes huge with surprise, as a long moan of delight escaped between his mandibles. His whole body shuddered, right on the verge of release. The poor Sangheili probably hardly knew what was happening to him. Nira stayed with him, squeezing him long and slow, until he ran dry. Zen's jaws clenched as the last ripple of pleasure passed and left him exhausted and mellowed. Zen collapsed, he lay still, panting; he groaned as he felt that he was filled with euphoric pleasure. Nira lied down next to him and nuzzled him.
"Why did you do that to me?" he whispered.
"Because, I love you and I want you to be happy." she answered and she nuzzled him again.
"Well, thank you then." said Zen.
"You're welcome. Don't hesitate to ask for it again." she said. Zen sensed the innuendo in it and he smiled.
"I'll keep that in mind." then Zen's body, filled exhaustion, gave and he fell asleep.
