As usual, I had most of this written ages ago. Actually it was mostly done the day, if not a week, after I posted the last chapter of this. I noticed I get majority or half of a chapter of something done, then lose inspiration or can't think of anything. Ah, my mind. On a totally different and not even remotely relevant note, my sister randomly walked in our bathroom(which separates our rooms) and said she descended, to which I responded with "you mean ascended, from hell". She was not as amused as I thought lol. Nah, but she laughed. We have this thing where we be petty to each other, mostly me sometimes. Anyway, enjoy and I hoped that the people still reading this are happy with how it ended.

It was weeks later that tensa sat in the hollows, listening to the liberated children play. He had done what he promised and wiped their memories, giving them to deserving parents. Though one did not want to be placed. Uryu was the child's name, his blue eyes intelligent. The little raven haired boy moped and secluded himself, only really talking to tensa.

That was what happened this day, tensa sat in his and pantera's den, making potions to pass the time when little uryu sat near him. The ginger fairy paused in his motions for a moment, then patted the raven's head. "Hello uryu, what brings you here?"

The boy hesitated, then spoke with a calm tensa did not expect. "I know of what you did, that you killed everyone in my old village, including my parents." Tensa had stopped his motions completely, his potion boiling over.

"I guess you wish to kill me then, for vengeance?"

Uryu shook his head no, a small smile showing. Tensa did not understand this. "I do not, you saved me. Those people who called themselves my parents weren't who they say they were. They beat me and used magic on me, they hid who I am." The boys blue eyes stared into tensas sightless gold on black. "I am a being of the hollows, I know that now. Though, I don't know who my parents are, I am a fairy like you."

Tensa was awestruck, what magic did those people use? It was very strong if he couldn't sense uryu's magic. "I did not know of this, it is a pleasing surprise. Uryu, do you wish to find them, your family?" When uryu smiled, tensa felt the boy's happiness in his bones, he would find this boy's parents.

Within days tensa had finally found uryu's family, though it was just one member. The man was tall with slightly pale skin, his hair a beautiful silver and his eyes the same as the raven. "Ryuken, I wish to speak with you." Ryuken obliged. Once they were in a private enough place tensa asked a difficult question. "Ryuken, though this may be hard to answer, please do. Did you lose a child?"

Ryuken froze, his stoic façade slipping a little. "Who told you that? No one knows of this!" though the fairy sounded angry, tensa could feel the pain behind the words.

"The hollows, they told me. I asked of a being in the hollows who has lost a child, and they brought me to you." the ginger fairy explained.

Ryuken's anger became real, for who was tensa to pry into the painful past of others? "So you wish to bring pain upon me, what have I done to deserve this?"

Tensa paused, uncertain of where the question came from. "I do not know of what you speak. Pain is not something I wish to cause you. I only wish to bring you and all beings of my home happiness. That is why, I would like for you to meet someone, someone who has waited a long time to see you." he smiled brightly. "Would you like to meet him?"

Ryuken was breathless. He hoped that tensa was speaking of who he thought, but he did not want to get his hopes up, then have them dashed down in the end. "Him? Tensa, is this who I think it is, is he not dead?" he had thought that witch killed his child, she had made sure to kill his mate.

Tensa waved his hand in a flourish and they appeared near his shared den, the yard empty. "You may come out, young uryu, I know you are there." said boy slowly walked out of the cave, inching his way towards tensa. He came to a stop and latched onto the fairy's leg, big blue eyes staring into a pair of equal color. "Don't be afraid, this is who you seek uryu."

The boy tore his eyes away and looked up at tensa in confusion. "I don't understand. Who did I seek?"

Instead of speaking, tensa nodded towards ryuken and the fairy nealed in front of uryu. "You look just like us, your father and I." the silverette smiled in remembrance.

Uryu's eyes widened. "My...you?"

Ryuken nodded again, a hand cradling a slightly chubby cheek. "You have my eyes, but his hair. Isshin would have loved to have met you, he would always speak to you as though you could understand him, the man was silly that way."

It was a lot to take in, meeting one of his parents. "Can I meet him too?" Uryu didn't really understand why his other father wasn't there, if he wanted to meet him so bad. When ryuken's face became even sadder uryu regretted asking. "I'm sorry."

Though he smiled, it was a painful one. "It's alright child, you don't need to apologize. Your father, was killed by the witch that stole you, he protected you for as long as he could. I was too injured to do anything, but I'm so glad you are alive. Do you, wish to come home with me?"

Uryu peered at tensa, who sensed the question and nodded. "He is your family uryuu, there's no need to ask me. Go, you two have a lot to catch up on." ryuken smiled as uryu took his hand and they both bid tensa farewell. Tensa's smile fell and he slowly walked inside. How he wished to have a family of his own, but no one wanted him.

He was still brooding when pantera came home, his hunt successful if the smell of blood was anything to go by. The man-beast slowly approached the fairy, his maw still holding the dead deer. Once he was in front of his friend, he saw the downtrodden expression. In the many weeks he had came to care for the ginger, so seeing him saddened…

The man-beast dropped his catch in the appropriate place and slowly transformed, his body always a little awkward afterwards. "Tensa, what is it that bothers you?"

Tensa jumped a little, showing how much he was distracted. He took a deep breath and relaxed as he let it out. "I wish, to have a child. But, there is no one who sees me in that light."

Pantera tilted his head as he sat on the floor, trying to understand. "How can they not see you that way? You are very beautiful and powerful, not only that, but you are a caring person. I see no reason for any female to turn you down-"

Tensa cleared his throat, cutting pantera off. "Ah, as much as I am flattered by your compliments, I am not interested in bedding a female. If you remember, my last encounter with one did not end so well." he said rather amused, though it didn't take away from the blush staining his pale cheeks.

Tensa could feel Pantera tilt his head further, in a rather adorable way resembling a kitten. "Without a female, how do you expect to have a child? I doubt there is a magic that can make one."

Tensa chuckled. Not many knew of what he was about to tell. "That's true, no magic exist to make a child out of thin air. But there is a way. Male fairies who have a mate, can bare a child. It is a gift given to us by the hollows. That is how little uryuu came into being."

Pantera thought on this, forming a plan. "So," he started hesitantly, not sure how the fairy would take his offer. "If we were to become mates, you could bare my child?"

That caught tensa by surprise. Not that he had never thought about it, mind you. But he didn't think the panther saw him that way, though he had held affection for him since the beast saved him. He cleared his throat. "Well, yes I could. If we were mates though."

Pantera grinned and tensa sensed it and found his loins warming at the expression he had never seen, and that it seemed the beast wanted to become mates. "Then become my mate and start a family with me. I never thought I would be saying this, but with you I'm different. I'm just a beast that lives on nothing but instincts. Also, I've come to care for you, you see the real me, not the monster."

Tensa was rather moved, he didn't think pantera felt that way. He was excited, but at the same time he doubted himself. "Do you really want to be with me?" he knew it was a silly question, but he needed to hear the answer.

Pantera wrapped his strong bronze arms around tensa and nuzzled the slightly tan neck offered to him. "Of course I do, I wouldn't say so if I didn't. Now, will you be my mate?"

The fairy turned into the embrace and sought out the plump lips of his future mate. "Does that answer your question?" he got an aroused growl and felt his body being thrown on the bed, his leather pants and white sleeveless tunic disappearing. "And here I thought I was the magical being." he mumbled to himself.

After it was exposed to the world, pantera appreciated his fairies body, it was lean and beautiful. He was getting even more aroused, if that was possible. He was about to crawl towards his fairy when a thought struck him. "Tensa, is there a way that you can change my legs, to make this easier? And also, I have nothing to prepare you with." the man-beast was eager to mate the fairy, but he did not want to cause him any harm.

The ginger fairy waved his hand and the feline legs of Pantera became human, the more humanoid looking panther was amazed by this. He was about to ask about preparing tensa again when the fairy spoke. "You need nothing to prepare me with, for when fairies mate, their bodies prepare themselves. You will not harm me, rest assured. Now come, we have a family to start, and a life to live."

The panther growled in agreement and swiftly yet carefully entered his mate, pounding into him without abandon after a few strokes, his instincts taking over. Tensa loved every second of it, spurring pantera to move harder and faster, which he did. They both gasped as they finished, sharing slow kisses. "It's been awhile since I've done that." pantera laughed out breathlessly.

Panting heavily, tensa confessed, "I have never done that before, though I wonder why I haven't now." they both laughed and drifted off to sleep in each other's arms, dreaming of the family to come.

It was several months later that found tensa and panter in their den, the fairy breathing labored breaths. It was time and he was in a significant amount of pain. "Why did I let you talk me into a natural birth with nothing to sooth the pain?" the fairy asked his mate.

Pantera smiled as he saw the beginnings of his child come into the world, though he had never seen anything like it, it was beautiful in a way. The fairies stomach slowly opened to make room for another to slowly take out the child, it was a painful process. "Because you told me that pain blockers slowed down the birthing process, and I don't want anything happening. Now relax mate, our baby is almost here."

Minutes later the opening in tensa's stomach was wide enough for pantera to reach in, which he did while grinning the whole time. Their child was ethereal, with glowing bronze skin, black on blue eyes, and amethyst hair. "She's beautiful tensa, don't you agree?"

As tensa's stomach rapidly closed he peered tiredly at his daughter, she was breathtaking. He smiled brightly and held her close, and couldn't help but laugh when she used magic to make her prepared bottle appear. It would seem she was intelligent for a newborn. "Hello there little one. How did you know where your bottle was, hmm?"

Pantera was awestruck by the display of magic. "How did she do that?"

Tensa hummed as he continued to look as his daughter. "All fairies can use magic when first born, but it's never this advanced." he was about to say more when pantera reached for the now empty bottle. That was a mistake it seemed, as their baby girl wailed and then used her advanced magic to bonk her father on the head with said empty bottle. Tensa held in his laughter. "I don't think she liked that, tera."

Pantera grumbled, though he let a smile grace his features. "Your so mean to your daddy princess. Or should I say princess apocalypse? Because I'm sure you'll cause one." the little girl seemed to like that nickname, for she gurgled and smiled.

"As much I adore the nickname, she needs an actual name pantera."

The panther thought for a while. "How about armina, it means warrior maiden?"

Tensa smiled and looked to the baby to see if she approved, which she did if the happy gurgle said anything. "Then armina you will be, for I know you will be a formidable warrior." the family sat there longer basking in the warmth of their fire, greeting ryuken and uryu when they came to see little armina.

As the years went by, armina grew into a graceful yet powerful young lady. Taking on both of her parents traits, magic from tensa and the power to transform into a panther from pantera.

And since the conflict and subsequent destruction of jalsoon, no human had dared to go into the hollows, so the magical beings lived in peace. Throughout the years the humans surrounding the forest soon forgot about the forest and the magic it possessed. That left pantera and tensa to live the life they wanted, and watch their daughter grow and fall in love.

Ah, towards the end I started to lose it, trying figure how to end it. And armina is a German name, I tend to go with German a lot. What can I say, I like the language. Anyway I hope you all like it bun-buns, and the whole stomach opening thing came outta nowhere, but was inspired by spunky and how the babies come into the world in her fics, with all the spirit chambers and glowing phase through stomachs.
