The next morning, Noboru awoke feeling rested and looked down to see Angela sleeping with her head on his shoulder, her dark hair strewn all over his chest. A small smile played about her lips and in the daylight, her freckles stood out sharply from her pale skin. "[Utskushi]," he murmured, stroking her cheek. As if feeling it, she snuggled closer to his side. Needing to use the bathroom, he unwillingly extricated himself from her and went down to the lower level so as not to disturb her. After relieving himself, he was about to go back up the stairs when he heard her cell phone ring. Not wanting to wake her, he took it out of her purse and looked at the caller ID to see who would call so early on a Saturday morning. His brows furrowed as the display read "Ken." Flipping the phone opened, he waited to see what this "Ken" wanted.

"Hey, Sexy Doc. You miss me?" a man's voice playfully greeted.

Noboru's lips drew back in a snarl. "Who is this?"

There was a stunned silence and then an equally outraged voice shot back, "Who the hell is THIS and what are you doing with Angela's phone?"

"What is it you want with her?" he demanded suspiciously.

"That's none of your fucking business," the other man shouted. "Did you do something to her? Is she there?"

"She is fine," he said flatly before hanging up on him. It was a good thing that this had been a phone conversation as he wasn't sure he could have refrained from tearing the man in half. Tucking the phone back in her purse, he brought it upstairs in case she needed anything and slid back under the covers. She had rolled onto her side, her back to him, and his eyes possessively slid over the curves of her lower back and ass. His cock was now at full attention and something about seeing her like this, unaware and defenseless, spurred his need to take her even more. Pulling her to him, he pressed his naked front into her back and felt her stir.

"Wha-?"

"[Ohaiyo]," he whispered huskily into her ear. He was rewarded by a series of shivers. Mentally filing away that this was a very sensitive erogenous zone for her, he slipped his fingers between her legs and began stroking the skin around her labia. Within seconds she was wet and twitching under his touch.

"Nobu?" She let out a surprised squeal when he parted her lips with his fingers and slipped the head of his cock into her.

"Did you sleep well?" He let his head rest inside her without moving further to see what she would do.

"I did, thank you." He could feel her squeezing him, as if trying to coax him back inside. When he didn't slide in all the way, she gave a frustrated groan and pushed her hips back against him greedily, forcing his entire length into her. "God, your cock is so good!"

She was so wet that he was in danger of slipping out of her if he thrust too excitedly and the silken sensation of her cunt on him caused him to bite down on her neck as he climbed on top of her and fucked her from behind. The animal noises of satisfaction that he was making with a mouthful of her neck between his teeth drove her wild and she thrust back at him as she was flooded with pleasure. Feeling her excitement at being taken this way, Noboru felt his sac tighten and bit down hard as he tried to strangle his own cry of release. He hovered on the edge of exploding for what felt like minutes, driving himself into her with such force that his strokes actually lifted her off the mattress when he buried himself in her tight opening. As the first jet of hot semen spewed out of him, he felt his vision blur for a moment at the sheer intensity of it, heightened by her clamping down as she came a second time. Looking down, he was horrified to see that his claws had sprung up but she would be unable to see it from where she was. [Shit!] Gritting his teeth as his finished coming, he tried to control his mind long enough to replace them with fingernails. Perhaps he had caught it in time...

Angela tried desperately to catch her breath. She couldn't remember if she'd ever had such amazing sex in her life, or come so many times in a 24 hour period. "Nobu, that was amazing," she purred. When he was silent, she turned on her side to face him. "Nobu, is everything alright?"

Anxiety was clearly written all over his face.

He was starting to scare her and she sat up. "Nobu, what is it?"

Seeing her lovely face looking at him so trustingly made him feel even worse about what it was that he had possibly done. "Angela, I must tell you something..."

[Oh God, tell me he doesn't have HIV] she thought with a jolt of fear. "Is it about our not using condoms?"

"No, no, you need not worry about that."

Relieved that she was not in danger of contracting an STD, she relaxed again. "Well, what is it?" Abruptly she frowned. "You regret what happened."

"No." He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. "I have not been so happy in a long time."

Angela smiled contentedly. It was true, she could feel his happiness in the way that he held her. Rubbing her face onto his smooth chest, she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Well, what could be so bad? Are you going to leave?"

"No, but I am afraid that you may wish to, and that you will hate me for keeping you here." He hugged her tighter.

[I could just take up residence in his arms], she thought with an idiotic grin. "Nobu, you're so sweet and you make me feel so wonderful. That and you're mind-blowing in bed. Why would I want to leave or hate you?"

"You do not even know me," he whispered into her hair.

His voice sounded so frightened and she couldn't explain why, but she felt sad for him. "What could you have possibly done for me to hate you?"

Hesitantly loosening his grip on her, he felt a dull ache in his chest at the idea that what he would say could drive her away from him. "You notice that my eyes are rather unusual."

"Beautifully so, yes." She put a hand on his cheek and gazed wonderingly at them, causing his cock to twitch in spite of his trepidation.

"They were not always this color."

"Really?"

"They were as yours."

Although she'd never heard of a medical condition that caused a person's eyes to change color like that, she didn't consider it out of the realm of possibility. "Okay, but what does that have to do with what you have to tell me?

"How old do you think I am?"

She observed him with her head tilted to one side, and the charming picture almost made him forget his concern. "Late thirties, at best."

Taking a deep breath, he took her hands and looked into her eyes. "Next year, I will be four hundred and fifty years old."

"Huh?" was all she could say. "That's not possible."

Encouraged by the fact that she didn't recoil, he pulled her to him so that she faced him with her legs draped over his hips. "Do you see that katana above my bed?" She looked at where it hung and nodded. "It is even older than I am. My father gave it to me when I turned twenty-five. It has even been appraised."

Angela faced him again and stared into his blue irises, appearing confused. "How is that possible?"

Unable to refrain from touching her, he nuzzled her neck and felt her shiver at the contact. "Do you believe in demons?"

"I guess." It was hard to concentrate as he ran his lips over her neck. "I'm Christian and there are demons in my religion, or devils as it were."

Noboru stopped caressing her. "I was cursed by a demon. That is why I have lived for so long."

"How can staying eternally young be a curse?" She could only hope she looked that good if she was so old.

"It comes at a heavy price."

Amused, she playfully licked his nipple and grinned as his eyes darkened. "What?" She continued to flick with her tongue and his cock began to unsheath itself from its foreskin.

Trying to be serious, he grabbed her by the shoulders and stopped her, causing her eyes to go wide. "The first is that a part of me has become more primal, and when my emotion takes control of me, I...change. When I change, it is difficult to control my drives."

"Okay, so you're ruled by your Id. That's not so terrible." She moved her hips against his hard shaft, running her slick lips along his length.

Noboru fought to keep his mounting lust under control. "The second is that to live a long time without something meaningful to give you purpose often makes one wish for death. Everyone else around you dies but you continue living with the memories of them and their loss."

Her expression became serious. "I hadn't thought about that."

"And the last problem is that I -- I can transfer my condition to others."

"Is that what you were scared to tell me? That you might have given me this...condition?"

"[Hai.]"

Still not understanding, Angela stroked his chest. "Nobu, what is it that's so awful about this change?"

Stepping away from her, he touched her cheek. "Will you promise that you will not run away from me when you see it? I swear on my honor that I will not hurt you."

Something about the way that he said it made her feel so sad. He sounded like a hurt little boy who was afraid of being left behind. Covering the hand on her cheek with her own, she turned her face and lightly kissed his palm. "Nobu, I know you would never hurt me. I'm a lot tougher than I look. Besides, I'm a shrink. I've pretty much seen and heard everything. I'd be impressed if you could shock me at all."

"I hope that you are right." Straightening his back, he stood and closed his eyes. At first she thought this was some sort of illusion or that she was hallucinating but she watched as his skin turned white, then grew silvery fur. A nauseating sound of breaking bones filled the room as his hands and feet grew larger and sprouted claws. Despite all this, his face remained serene and he didn't appear to be in pain as his midface pulled forward into a muzzle and his ears migrated to the top of his head and shifted into points. When he had finished, he slowly opened his eyes and stared down at the tiny woman who was lying naked and open mouthed on his bed and held his breath to see if she would flee.
