August 2020

     Night time.
     The stars,
the few which can be seen from Tokyo-3, shined brilliantly
in the inky
blackness of space. The moon was in its final stage of
growth, signaling the
end of it\'s lunar cycle. The breeze flowing
throughout the city was warm,
but not uncomfortable and it was quiet.
     Within the
vast amoeba shaped park whose arms stretched out in
every possible
direction, in a small secluded area, cut off from prying
eyes by the large
bushes and equally large oak trees, two silent figures
laid on the grass
covered ground.
     Except for the large bat-like
wings, long serpentine tails and
unusual skin coloration, the two forms were
humanoid in shape. The man,
strong and handsome with fiery red hair and pale
blue skin, known to the
world at large as Alex Xanatos, when he is not in
gargoyle form, slept.
The woman with him, the Nerv Command Crew Officer,
Maya Ibuki, lavender
skinned, with two small oni-type horns protruding from
under her brown hair,
laid in his arms very much awake, gazing into the
dozing face of her lover.
     Maya smiled happily as
she brushed a stray lock of scarlet hair
from his face with her taloned
hand. Looking at the slumbering man turned
gargoyle, she had the urge to
gently rub her knuckles against the ridge
of tiny horns located at his
hairline. When she did, she was happily
surprised to see his lips curl up
into a smile.
     \"Maya...,\" he murmured sleepily.

     She smiled. Maya leaned down, planting the gentlest
of kisses on
his lips. Suddenly, she felt his tail move around her right
thigh ,
lassoing her leg, trying to pull her closer to him. She resisted,
after
a few moments his tail stopped it\'s actions and loosened it\'s firm but

gentle grip, though it remained in place.
    
\"You\'re insatiable, even when you\'re asleep,\" she said to him softly.
\"I
love you anyway.\" She laid her head down on his chest, her now pointed
ear
pressed over his heart.
     Thu-thump-thud,
Thu-thump-thud...
     She listened to the unusual
beating of his heart for what seemed
like hours. Finding it both fascinating
and frightening how complete
these transformations were. She knew, until
Alex changed them back to
their human forms again, she would be a gargoyle
herself in every
possible definition of the word.

     Memories began flooding her mind of when the two of
them first
slept together, about a month and a half ago.

                          
*****

                        
June 2020

     The two of them had gone out that night for dinner
and dancing. But
most of all to celebrate the successful launch of Xanatos
Ltd. Taking
months of hard negotiations, bargaining and careful maneuvering
Alex
gathered everything he needed to start his new company.

     When everything was at the ready, he stormed the
electronic and
financial world, introducing this world with technology and
computer
programs never before seen by the public and in some cases, the
world\'s
governments. Like his father before him, Alex Xanatos was a
self-made
man.
     Exiting the cab, Alex paid the
driver the fare, telling him to keep
the change. He turned to Maya, who was
waiting for hiar tar the main
entrance of her apartment building. Going to
her, he couldn\'t help but
look upon her in admiration. She wore a powder
blue evening gown, with
thin straps running over her shoulders and crossing
at her back, with a
slit going part way up the side of the skirt, showing
just a hint of
lean beautiful legs.
     She smiled
that sweet smile of hers. Smiling back, he said, \"Did I
tell you, you look
absolutely gorgeous tonight?
     \"Hai,\" Maya answered,
\"about a dozen times.\"
     \"Oh? Only a dozen? I could
have sworn I said it more often.\" Alex
smirked seeing Maya blush. He found
the way her shoulders tinged red
adorable.
     They
entered the lobby, hand in hand, and headed towards the
elevator. Maya was
about to push the \"up\" button when she saw a sign
taped to to the elevator
doors.

                          
Out of Order.

                   
Repairman has been called,

                   
will arrive in the morning.

                   
Apologies for any inconvenience.

                                   
Management.
 

     \"Souna!! I don\'t want to walk up six stories,\" Maya
complained with
a sigh.. She shook her head, turning to Alex. \"Gomen nasai.\"

     \"Don\'t apologize Maya. It\'s not your fault... Is
it?\"
     \"Ha ha, very funny,\" she answered snidely.

     \"You love me, you know you love me,\" Alex winked at
her. He
reached out and took her hand small delicate hands in his.
\"Dysflagrate
muri intervalia...\"
     Maya looked at
the tall red-haired man curiously. \"Alex, what are
you...\" Suddenly the
world around her blinked out of existence, then
blinked back to normal. She
saw she was in her apartment. \"...doing?,\"
she finished saying. She blinked
a couple times in confusion.
     \"The wonders of Fey
magic.,\" Alex said with a smile, \"When you
absolutely have to be there.\"

     \"Alex... I don\'t feel too well,\" Maya said. She
didn\'t look it. Her
ivory skin seemed paler than normal, her breathing was
slightly ragged
and she looked wobbly on her feet.

     Alex took Maya by the hand and guided her to the
small sofa in the
living room. \"It\'s just disorientation, Maya. It\'ll pass
in a moment.\"
     He sat next to her, instructing her
to lean her head back and take
some deep breaths. She complied, but not the
way Alex really expected.
She closed her eyes and leaned herself onto Alex\'s
chest pillowing her
head on his left shoulder, she slowly began breathing in
and out.
     Though surprised, he did not complain
having a attractive young
woman lean on him for support. Tentatively, he
slipped his arm around
her waist, clasping his hands over her belly. Maya
smiled and made a
sound similar to a giggle.
    
Opening her eyes she looked up at him, her deep brown eyes making
contact
with his emerald greens. She reached up with her hand and gently
caressed
his clean shaven cheek, moving her hand forward over his neatly
trimmed
goatee.
     Alex was overcome by the sensuality by this
simple touch. He felt
barriers that were being slowly eroded away by his
interactions with
Maya, Shiro, Misato and all the rest, suddenly collapse
completely. His
heart fluttered and his skin warmed with a need to be
touched by this
petite human woman. He wanted her to be apart of his life so
badly, he
was quite willing to give up everything he worked for these past
months,
if it would show Maya how much he needed her, how much he cared for

her... how much he loved her.
     \"Kimi ga suki da,
Maya.(I love you, Maya.)\"

     \"Nani?, she said with a start. She was not expecting
that
particular comment that particular comment from him. Did he say what I

think he said, she thought to herself. In all the time they\'ve been

together he never said that.
     \"Kimi ga suki da,\"
he repeated.
     Her heart skipped a beat. She altered
her position so she was
facing him fully, without twisting her neck out of
place. His arms
managed to stay around her waist. He pulled her in a little
closer,
thier faces just inches apart. Maya looked Alex in the eyes. Somehow
she
knew he meant every part of that little phrase. She could feel his warm

breath on her face, though she herself had difficulty breathing. Her

mouth worked as she tried to say something. At first no sound came. Alex

softly said her name like it was one of those spells of his.

     \"Wa-watashi mo anata ga suki yo, Alex.(I-I love you
too, Alex),\"
she finally managed. Upon completion of the sentence, Maya felt
a
heavy weight lift off her shoulders.
     Slowly,
hesitantly, he brought his lips to hers. She let out a soft
sigh of
pleasure, he deepened the kiss, parting her lips with his
tongue. Maya
returned the kiss as best she could, letting the rush run
through her body.
Wrapping her arms around his neck. She closed her
eyes, focussing everything
she had on this moment.
     He slid his hand up her
back laying it flush against her scalp,
pulling her deeper into the kiss.
For a long time her universe consisted
of only Maya\'s mouth on Alex\'s, her
hand against his chest and the
warmth of his body pressed against hers.

     When the two finally separated, Maya looked at him,
she had an
irrational fear of finding a look of distaste on him. But there
was no
mistake of the look of wanting he had.
    
\"Alex...\"

     The Fey interrupted the human by covering her mouth
with his once
more. Placing his hands on her hips, he pulled her closer to
him, to
straddle his hips. The skirt portion of the gown rode up her legs,

exposing Maya\'s thighs. Alex\'s hands moved over her body, running over

her shoulders and arms. Slowly, he pulled one of the spaghetti straps

off her shoulders, caressing the soft bare skin. His hands moved

downward cupping her breast, massaging them in a circular motion,

feeling the nipple stiffen through the material of the gown. He heard

her moan softly against his lips as he continued kissing her.

     He stopped long enough to pull her gown down over
her chest. He
felt her shudder slightly in anticipation. He ran his hand
over her bare
torso and breast, causing her to gasp aloud. He leaned
forward, kissing
the top of her right breast. He slid his lips over and
around the pink
areol, before taking it into his mouth. Maya moaned as he
delicately
suckled on the nipple, swirling his tongue around it. He pulled
on it
gently with his lips, teasing it to a heightened state of sensitivity.

He reached up with his other hand and caressed Maya\'s left breast.

     Afa tia time Maya felt was much to short, Alex
returned to kissing
her mouth. With shaking hands she undid the buttons on
his shirt and
helped him take it off, placing it to the side, followed by
his
undershirt. She ran her hands over his bare chest, feeling his heart

beat rapidly. Suddenly, he pushed her down onto the couch. He tugged the

gown downward over her hips, using a tiny amount of magic to stretch the

fabric over her without damaging the garment, her panties soon followed.

She squeezed her eyes shut, abit embarrassed by her nudity.

     She heard a quiet rustling, she knew it was Alex
removing the
remainder of his clothing. Maya felt his hands running up and
down her
legs, along the inside of her thighs, gently moving them apart.

     Her eyes snapped open, feeling the unexpected kiss
Alex gave her
between her legs, along the delicate folds of her sex. She
closed her
eyes once again, tightly this time. Kami-sama..., her mind
repeated as
Alex\'s tongue alternated between licking along her opening and
gentle
sucking of her clitoris. She whimpered pleasurably as he explored her

with his mouth. He took in her center once again, this time keeping the

small bundle of nerves in his mouth, pressing it gently with his lips

and flicking it with the tip of his tongue.
    
Maya moaned loudly, her hands moving to run through his scarlet
hair,
holding him where he was, hoping he wouldn\'t stop. Feeling him
push his
tongue partway into her, Maya arched her back and let out a
soft strangled
cry as her threshold shattered, bucking her hips against
his mouth.

     Alex moved up her body, kissing a trail of cold
fire along her
abdomen and chest until he laid atop her, kissing her once
again. She
found it strange to taste herself on his lips.

     His hands took hold of her hips pulling her closer.
Maya responded
eagerly lifting her hips and arching her back to help him to
continue.
Taking hold of himself he guided his length to her sex. She held
back a
cry of pain, when he entered her, pushing forward slowly until his
hips
met hers. Alex pulled away from her abit, at this Maya couldn\'t help
but
let out a small sob of pain.
     Alex stopped
short, mere moments passing before realization
struck him like a iron
mallet. \"M-Maya, I didn\'t know...\"
     The young woman
opened her eyes, shaking her head. \"Onegai,\" she
said, reaching up to caress
his cheek, \"don\'t stop.\" She laced her
fingers around the back of his neck
and pulled him down for a deep
passionate kiss as he began to move against
her very slowly.
     Soon the pain vanished, replaced
by a heated pleasure which
threatened to overwhelm her. She raised her knees
up, crossing her legs
over his back, she squeezed her legs together, pulling
him in as she
lifted her hips to meet his, increasing the pleasure they both
felt.
     Alex turned his face, breaking the kiss, to
nuzzle the hollow of
her shoulder. Kissing her tenderly on the throat,
feeling her voicebox
vibrate as she moaned gently in his ear, urging him
on.  \"Motto,(More),\"
she whispered, \"Kami-sama, you feel so good,
Alex...\" Maya ran her hands
over his back and through his hair.

     Finally she climaxed, a rush of pent up energy
releasing at once.
Her body spasmed, trying to pull him deeper into her as
she cried out
her pleasure, with several deep gasps. She squeezed her eyes
shut when
flares of light formed in her vision.
 &nbnbspnbsp; 
Alex continued his slow methodical movements, prolonging the
extreme
pleasure she felt. Maya moved her body against him. She slid her
hands down
his back and over his rear, all the while kissing him
passionately. He
groaned softly in her ear as she felt his length speed
up it\'s movements,
setting itself for release. With a grunt, Alex\'s body
convulsed against her
briefly, as his body spent itself in her body.

          When all was done, he
gazed at her lovingly, leaning down he
kissed her softly on the lips. \"I
love you, Maya,\" he said in english
when they parted.

     Maya sighed contently and smiled happily up at him.
When she was
younger, her friends always made fun of her, calling her a
hopeless
romantic for expecting a declaration of love. \"I love you also,\"
she
replied in english, her accent making the \"l\" sound more like a \"r\".

What could she say? She loved being right.
     He
began pulling away from her, but Maya stopped him by clasping
her arms
around his neck, shaking her head quickly.
     \"I\'m not
too heavy for you?,\" he asked her.
     \"Ei,\" Maya
replied, \"Stay with me.\"
     He settled himself down
covering her body once gain, embracing
her tightly. Laying his head on her
shoulder, he lightly kissed the soft
spot right behind her jaw, under her
ear, causing her to giggle.

     Time passed. Eventually Alex extracted himself from
her embrace
only to find her asleep with a faint content smile on her face.
Leaning
over, he managed his arms under her and easily lifted her slender
frame,
her head supported by his shoulder. He quickly, yet quietly carried
her
to the bedroom of the small apartment. He laid her down on the bed and

climbed in behind her. Laying his hand across her belly he spooned up

closely to her. Closing his eyes he smiled to himself and fell asleep

with her.

                          
*****

                       
August 2020

     Maya sighed softly, happily at the memory of her
first physical act
of love. She remembered waking the next morning to see
Alex in her bed
with the same look of contentment he had now.

     The look sparked memories that were more recent,
namely earlier
tonight. What they did this night she will never forget for
the rest of
her days.

                          
*****

                  
Earlier in the Evening

     The two of them were in Alex\'s apartment, enjoying a
quiet dinner
together. Soft music filled the dining room. The smell of
perfectly
cooked food wafted off of the dinner plates resting on the table
they
sat at.
     \"Maya, how would you like to be a
gargoyle for the night?,\" Alex
asked suddenly.
    
\"Na-nani?,\" she responded, dumbfounded by the suddenly asked
question.

     How would you like to be a gargoyle tonight?,\" he
asked her again.
     \"You can do that?\"

     Alex nodded. \"I can. I turn myself into a gargoyle
once in a while
to patrol the city. It also helps me to relax.\"

     \"I-I don\'t know,\" she said doubtfully. \"I don\'t
know anything about
this. I mean you\'re going to use your...,\" she trailed
off, unable to
bring herself to say the word.
    
\"Magic?\" Hai, unless you know of another way.\"
     \"I
don\'t know,\" Maya said once again.
     \"If you\'re
worried about falling, don\'t.\" He tried his best to
sound confident and
assuring, which he was. \"It\'ll be fun. You\'ll see
the city the way Shiro and
I see it. How many humans can say they\'ve
done that?\"

     Maya thought over it for a time. Her mind ran
through a list of
arguments for and against this. Finally, a d a decision
made she said,
\"Alright, I\'ll be a gargoyle...\"
    
\"Excellent!,\" said Alex, already deciding on how to phrase the spell.

     \"On one condition,\" Maya added quickly.

     \"And that is?\"
     \"If I
don\'t like it, you\'ll change me back immediately.\"
    
\"Fair enough.\"

                          
*****

     A time later, the two of them stood in his bedroom.
Maya wore some
of the clothes she stored in his apartment for the timhe he
\"slept
over\". She wore a green t-shirt with thin, black, vertical stripes
and a
short, blue skirt with slits cut half way up her hips to allow
movement
of the legs. She choose to wear the skirt with the practical reason
of
allowing room for a tail that would soon be in place. She was going to

cut two openings in the back of the shirt for wings, but Alex stopped

her. He told her there was no way of knowing what kind of wings she

would have, bat-like like Shiro or himself, or the kite style wings

similar to Lexington. She agreed to wait for after the transformation

before making adjustments.
     Alex stood before
her dressed only in a grey loincloth. He
scowled when Maya laughed at him,
joking, \"Me Maya, you Tarzan.\"
 sp;&sp;   \"Very funny. Lets
see you laugh if I turn you into a piglet by
\'accident\',\" he said,
emphasizing the word \"accident\".
     \"I know you Alex,
you wouldn\'t do that.\"
     \"You\'re mighty sure of
yourself.\"
     Maya grinned as she stepped up to him,
hands clasped behind her
back, trying her best, and succeeding, to look
cute. \"You\'re the expert
on confidence. You tell me.\"

     Alex leaned down, bending slightly at the waist,
until his face was
an inch from hers. He smirked. \"You make a better looking
human anyway.\"
Alex pecked her on the nose, making her giggle. \"Alright,
lets get down
to business. First, myself.\" He stepped back away from her,
spreading
his arms to the sides and began his spell.

     Maya looked on in awe as Alex\'s skin darkened from
the fleshy pink
color to a odd shade of blue similar to sapphire. A pair of
large wings
spread out from his back drooping low against the ground. His
ears
stretched back, fanning out to appear like miniature batwings attached

to his head.
     His hands clenched and unclenched
continuously, stretching the
skin to allow growth of talons. A long tail
formed out from under his
loincloth, ng lng lazily on the floor. Alex\'s legs
were the last to
change, becoming shaped much like a horse, but with the
large three
toed configuration of a typical gargoyle.

     Maya\'s eyes widened at all this. \"Are.. are you
alright?,\" she
asked, he voice sounded unsteady, whether it be from fear or
excitement,
she could not tell. \"Did it hurt?\"
    
\"Ei,\" Alex answered. He smiled at her and walked to where she
stood, he
didn\'t say anything when she took a step back away from him.
\"Actually, it
feels like when you stretch before a workout. A bit
tingly.\" He paused for a
few moments waiting for he to relax. When she
did, he added, \"Maya,you don\'t
have to do this.\"
     \"Hai, I know. Last minute nerves
I guess.\" She smiled and looked
Alex up and down seeing him s if for the
first time. He was muscular,
but not overly so, broad, strong-looking
shoulders and well muscled
arms. His fiery red hair contrasted greatly with
his blue skin, which
seemed to bring out the green of his eyes. He was, for
lack of a
better term, horrifically beautiful.
    
\"I\'m ready,\" Maya said. Not for the first time she wondered what
she would
look like after the magic was done.
     Alex nodded and
smiled . \"Don\'t worry, this won\'t hurt a bit.\" He
took a deep breath held
it, then let it go. \"Ibuki Maya, human born.
Demona would find your sight
distasteful, personally I find you
graceful...\" Alex grinned seeing Maya
blush. \"...I give you horns, and
tail, and wings this night, to help you on
you maiden flight.\"
     When the last word uttered, she
felt a odnglingling sensation build
along her spine, spreading out to her
limbs. She felt the skin along her
shoulder blades split open, the pain she
expected never came. Her
t-shirt felt suddenly tighter as she felt wings
take shape under the
shirt, pressed tightly against her back.

     Maya wondered what happened when she heard a
tearing sound, then
realizing, with dread, the sound came from her panties
being ripped as a
tail formed.
     They were a new
pair too, she thought.
     She looked at her hands,
shocked to see her hands changing to a
rich lavender color and fingers
ending with wicked looking claws.
     When all the
changes were set. She looked up at Alex, surprised at
the look of wonderment
on his face.
     \"Doshtano Alex?,\" Maya\'s eyes widened
hearing her voice had
deepened, giving it a almost etherial quality to it.

     Alex blinked. Shaking himself out of his stupor, he
said, \"No. No,
there\'s nothing wrong... Good gods. Maya, you\'re beautiful.\"
Alex strode
up to her taking her purple hand in his blue.

     \"Do you really think so?,\" she felt her cheeks
become flush. Her
tail twitched uncontrollably with nervousness as Alex
walked behind her.
     \"I do,\" he answered truthfully.
\"Hold still a moment.\" Carefully he
took hold of the back of her shirt with
one hand, with the index finger
of his other, he tore a slit down the length
and carefully thread the
large wing through the hole.

     Maya shuddered with pleasure as Alex manipulated
the wing, the tiny
three fingered hand of the wing flexed repeatedly as it
tried to grasp
something. The strange erotic pleasure repeated when Alex did
the same
for the remaining wing.
     Alex placed
his hands on his shoulders. His touch sent pleasant
electric shocks through
her system. She tilted her head to the side,
moaning quietly with pleasure
at the simple touch. She didn\'t know why
but she had the urge to go out,
spread her new wings and glide through
the city.

     \"I\'m going go \'port us to the roof, Maya,\" he said,
sliding his
hands off her shoulders, taking one of her hands in his.
\"Ready?\" She
nodded. \"Alright. Dysflagrate muri intervalia.\"

     The room blinked out of existence, only to be
replaced by the
rooftop. Maya looked out into the night sky, she gasped at
the sheer
beauty of Tokyo-3\'s skyline. Lights of every imaginable color
twinkled.
The skyscrapers and office building shown brightly, reflecting the
light
from the full moon and shimmering stars in the clear indigo-black sky.

     Alex, still holding her hand, walked towards the
edge of the
building. As they walked, Maya stumbled forward. Still unused to
the new
structure of her feet, she overcompensated the weight of her tail
and
lost her balance. He caught her quickly, catching her around the torso,

her hands clasping around his neck.
     \"Go-gomen
nasai,\" she blushed, embarrassed to losing her balance.

     \"It\'s alright you can\'t expect to walk around with
feet like these
the first time out.\" As he helped her get used to walking
again, he told
her of the night he first became a gargoyle, how he stumbled
around
falling over what seemed to be every other step.
was so angry
with him I wanted to smack him. But deep down I knew he only
said that
to make me more determine, prove him wrong, I guess you could
say.\"
     \"The both of you were close, ne?\"

     \"The next best thing to being brothers.\" Alex
sighed. Maya could
tell it wasn\'t totally out of sadness. She knew if he
wanted to he
could leave this world  via the Avalon route and try and
find Nic, but
that may theoretically take years to do. She felt a twang of
guilt
when she hoped he wouldn\'t do that.

     Alex looked down at the purple female and smiled.
Not for the
first time that evening there was a yearning, a need Alex had,
to be
with Maya in the most intimate of ways. He fought down the thoughts

thinking them inappropriate at the time.
    
\"Alex... teach me to fly.\"
     \"Are you sure you\'re up
to it? You just got the hang of walking.\"
     \"I\'m
sure.\" She walked over to the safety railing and stood quietly
out into the
city.
     He studied her in silence, again thinking how
beautiful she looked
as a gargoyle. Her lavender skin glowed with a healthy
sheen in the
moonlight. Eyes dark as obsidian. The way her tail moved
enticingly
back and... Ugh!! Get your mind out of the gutter, Xanatos!

     Standing besides her, he let out a breath he didn\'t
realize he
was holding. \"Alright, get over the railing,\" he told her. She
did as
told, but held onto the railing, the metal creaking in protest under

the pressure of Maya\'s vise-like grip. With practiced ease, Alex hopped

over the railing. \"Ready?\"
     \"Hai.\"

     \"Yosh.\" Alex suddenly took her hand and jumped off
the building,
pulling Maya along with him.

     \"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!,\" she screamed loudly as
the two of
them fell to the oh-so-hard ground. Halfway down, before hitting
the
vary solid pavement below, instincts took over her body. She pushed

herself away from him and spread her wings. The night thermals buffeted

against her wings, slowing her descent until she was descending at a

leisurely rate, towards the parking lot below.
    
She looked about for Alex, finding him gliding above her, smiling
proudly
down at her. She adjusted her wings so she caught more of the
evenings
currents and glided her way up towards him, finding everything
to be much
easier than she originally thought.
     \"Alex no
baka!,\" she snapped at him when she was at the same height
he was. \"Why did
you do that?\"
     \"It\'s how I learned,\" he answered
simply. \"One night, Hudson
grabbed me and tossed me over the castle wall.\"

     \"If I wasn\'t able to get my wings out in time?\" She
was still
angry with him.
     \"I would have
teleported you back onto the roof. You were never
in danger, Maya.\"

     \"Oh.\" she said, her anger quickly evaporating.

     \"So... How do you like being a gargoyle?\"

     Maya was quiet for a time, purposely making him
wonder what her
response would be.
     \"Maya...?,\"
Alex said, uncertainty slipping into his voice.
    
Silence.
     The two glided over the city, Maya didn\'t
say anything to Alex.
Maya struggled to keep from giggling aloud seeing the
uncertainty on
his face. He must\'ve been so sure Maya would enjoy this, he
didn\'t
even foresee the possibility she might not.

     She veered off unexpectedly towards the roof of a
tallish building
to the north. Alex adjusted his course to follow. Maya
landed rather
clumsily, stumbling forward due to her momentum. Alex flared
his wings
out, slowing considerably to landed much more gracefully a couple
yards
behind her. She didn\'t turn to face him, she just stared off into the

city.
     \"Maya...,\" Alex paused to gather the
proper words, \"Maya, if you\'re
still angry about earlier... Gomen nasai.\"

     She turned her head to the side a little bit,
looking at him over
her shoulder. She smiled that special smile of hers.
\"You\'re forgiven. I heard Alex sigh
in relief. He was worried!, she thought. She turned back to
the city
watching over it as if it were her own.

     She heard the soft crunching of asphalt, Alex
walking up behind
her. She giggled feeling his strong hands slip around her
slim waist.
She placed her hands over his and squeezed them. Her tail
slipped
between his legs, the end wrapping lightly around the raised portion
of
his foot.

     Alex smiled to himself. He was reliving his first
experience of
being a gargoyle vicariously through her. The wide-eyed
wonderment of
flight, to see the city in such a way few did.

     Suddenly, Maya pulled away from him. \"Maya?,\" he
asked after her.
He watched as she half walked/ran to the edge of the
building. He was
wondering what she was up to when an all encompassing need
overcame him.
     He slowly took a step forward. He saw
Maya turn back to him and
gave him a very un-Maya-like grin before throwing
herselfoff the roof to
glide quickly away. Alex ran after her. With a mighty
leap, which easily
broke the Olympic long-jump record, he launched himself
off the roof.
His wings spread their full sixteen foot wing-span, catching
the night
air, shooting off after the female.
    
He could see her easily enough thanks to the sensitivity of his
nighttime
vision, but he had difficulty catching up with her. Maya was
smaller,
lighter and her wings were designed for speed and agility,
while his were
made for stability and range. He used every gliding trick
he knew, yet this
little woman, who just learned to glide less than an
hour ago, was staying
out of reach.
     He chased after her over half the
city, between the office
buildings and over residencial areas. Alex came
close to catching Maya
many times, always nanaging to slip from his grasp at
the last moment.
     He wondered why Maya took off like
that, how she was able to get
away from him, and why did he have a
overwhelming need to chase and
catch her.
     He
flew on after her a dozen meters behind her, slowly inching
his way closer
to her. He could tell she was tiring, her wings weren\'t
made for long
flights. He grinned, seeing his chance to catch her. Alex
flexed his wings
in the apriatriate manner, increasing his airspeed.
    
They were over the large blob shaped park by the time Alex was
within arms
length of Maya. He reached out and grabbed Maya by the
ankle, she kicked out
at him, but he managed to hold on. He pulled back
with his strong arms,
wrapping them around her chest pinning her arms to
her sides and her wings
against her back and his chest.
     She shrieked
cat-like, eyes aglow with red fury as she thrashed
about, struggling against
his grip. He held firm not letting go. It was
difficult dividing his
concentration between keeping both of them from
slamming into a skyscraper,
Maya\'s struggling and the embarrassingly
erotic feeling of her lower body
grinding against his growing erection.
     He let out a
deep rumbling growl without realizing he was doing so
until Maya\'s
struggling stopped. She replied with a growl of her own, it
was different
from his, sounding almost playful.
     She raised her
arms at the elbow, placing her hands on his forearms
as best she could with
her arms still held against her sides, and gently
scratched at the skin.

     Alex\'s breathing suddenly became labored and a
tingling warmth
spread throughout his body. He saw Maya turn her head around
to face
him. The look on her face was a strange mix of lust and innocence.
His
arms loosened their hold enough to allow movement, but still her closely

to his body.
     Slowly, her tail began to move,
inching back and up to wrap
itself around his left leg. His own tail
responded, snaking around her
right.
     He drew
his right hand under her green shirt, sliding against her
skin until he came
in contact with her pert, left breast, cupping it in
his hand he squeezed it
gently, causing Maya to moan deeply. \"Alex...,\"
she sighed, her voice husky
with need. It was the first words she spoke
in almost an hour. \"...love me.\"

     He hugged her more tightly, her body shivered from
something other
then the wind. He shifted his hold on her until he felt the
end of his
phalice rubbing against her waiting womanhood. She gasped deeply
when he
pushed his hips forward, entering her with a single thrust.

     He adjusted his wings, catching more of the city\'s
thermal
updrafts, propelling the both of them higher into the sky. He halted

their ascent when they were half the height higher than the tallest of

the skyscrapers.
     Alex held Maya close, nuzzling
her neck lovingly, gently gliding
his fangs against the nape. He pushed his
hips forward slowly, enjoying
the feeling of Maya\'s warmth around his penis.
Slowly, he pulled out
until the tip remained, then again moved forward. Maya
moaned aloud as
he repeated the movement.
     For a
long time they stayed aloft over the city pleasuring each
other. Each
bringing the other to climax repeatedly.
     The length
of time spent supporting his and Maya\'s weight began to
catch up with him.
His wings and shoulders ached in a way that wasn\'t
entirely painful. He
withdrew his manhood completly from Maya. She let
out a small moan of
protest as Alex banked downwards, circling his way
towards the park below.

     He flared his wings, slowing them both considerably
before landing.
He set her down. Maya turned nd tnd to face him, giving him
a brilliant
smile that easily caused him to return it in kind.

     Maya raised her hands, placing them on his chest.
Slowly, so Alex
would not notice, she carefully hooked her foot behind his
ankle. With a
quick tug of her leg and shove of her hands, she neatly
deposited Alex
on to the grass covered earth with a muffled \"Ooof!!\"

     Before he could make anykind of comment or
movement, she moved
forward and straddled his hips, her knees on either side
of his waist.
She giggled impishly seeing the look on Alex\'s face. she
leaned down to
him and kissed him passionately, pushing her tongue into his
mouth,
tracing it along his teeth, and intweening it with his tongue.

     She felt his hands slide up her thighs, his talons
scratching ever
so lightly on the bare skin, past her hips, to rest on her
sides just
below the ribs. She took hold of his wrists and pulled them
higher,
placing them on either breast, sighing contently as he began moving
his
hands, the friction of her shirt adding stimuli to her already sensitive

breasts.
     Maya began to slowly move her hips
back and forth, her mound ground
against the shaft on his manhood, the heat
and wetness of her arousal
brought his length to alertness once again. She
grinned down at him,
relishing the feeling of Alex under her.

     She gasped loudly when Alex\'s tail wrapped itself
around her waist,
the end of it drapped over her neither region. The tail,
all sinew and
bone, began pulling her against him in a deliberate manner,
all the
while the end twitching sporaticly, pressing against her clitoris.

     Maya lifted herself off of Alex. Reaching down
between them she
carefully took him in her hand. Gripping him firmly, yet
gently, she
began moving her hand against him. He gasped aloud at the
movement,
clearly not expecting it. She moved her hand slowly, savoring the

feeling oh Alex in her hand, the warmth, the texture of his skin as her

hand went up to the dark blue head, then back down to the base.

     She felt pleased with herself hearing Alex let out
a deep rumbling
growle that could ly bly be mistaken for a purr.

     Maya adjusted her position over him. Bringing
herself down she
could just barely feel the tip of gro groin touching the
outer skin of
her sex. She lowered herself onto him, his length parting the
labia,
pushing it\'s way into her. She let out a soft moan when when her
pelvis
met his. Maya did not move for a short time, savoring the exquisite

feeling of Alex\'s rigidness filling her.
     She
began to slowly rock her hips back and forth. Leaning forward
she placed her
hands on the ground on either side of Alex\'s head and
smiled down at him. He
returned the smile before reaching around her
waist with his right hand to
start rubbing the base of her tail. She
gasped in a mix of surprise and
pleasure as he began to drive his hips
upward, matching the rhythm she had
set.
     He leaned his head up, kissing her on the
lips. The hand that
remained at her breast, moved slowly in a circle,
messaging the pert
breast the way Maya enjoyed most. She felt her nipple
extend furthur
outward pressing into the blue male\'s hand through the cotton
fabric.
     Maya moaned into his mouth. She broke the
kiss but kept her
possition of leaning over him. Using her hands and legs as
supports, she
to move faster against him. She felt the all too familiar
building of
pressure deep within her. She growled softly at him.

     The part of her mind that was still acting
rational, wondered why
she could suddenly see Alex so clearly in the park,
when there were no
lights in this area. When his eyes began to glow with a
brilliant
blue-white light, she realized her eyes must have ignited as well.

     The feeling of impending orgasm rushed through her
body. SHe did
her best to fight it off, wanting to make this last as long as
possible.
She clenched her hands tightly, her taloned fingers digging
several
small trenches besides Alex\'s head.

     By this time Alex himself had difficulty suppressing
his own
climax. The velvety warmth of Maya surrounding him, the way her
slender,
quick body moved against him was wonderous. He continued pushing
his
pelvis upwards to meet Maya\'s. His heartbeat and breathing quickened,

somehow keeping tempo with their movments.
     He
closed his eyes, concentrating on keeping himself in check,
trying to make
this experience last as long as possible.
     Suddenly
he felt Maya\'s body clench up around him, as if trying to
draw more of
himself into her, and felt her orgasmic fluid flow over him
as Maya let out
out a low gutteral growl, sounding reminiscent to a
mountain lion.

     As if it were a signal of some kind, Alex let out a
growl of his
own when his body spasmed. His hips thrust upwards quickly,
releasing
semen deep within her body.
     The two
gasped for air, their bodies completly spent from
nights events. Taking
deep breaths he looked up at Maya smiling, he
reached up and caressed her
flushed cheek. He puled her down completly
on top of him, her sweat covered
body pressed against him.
     He wrapped his arms
around her body, her head pillowed against his
chest. They layed like that
for a long time, both their bodies still
connected, neither one really
making a move to break the union.

     \"Anata gasuki yo,\" Maya whispered softly.

     \"And I, you,\" Alex replied. It was easy for her to
tell he was
exhausted. His voice, usually clear and carrying, was a low
murmur.
     Maya smiled and kissed him gently on
li
lips as he slowly drifted
off into oblivion. I\'ll let him sleep for now, she
thought to herself,
planning on waking him later.

     Though tired herself, she didn\'t sleep, opting to
stay awake.

  sp;&sp;                          
NOW

     Maya sighed heavily at the last memory. For her,
this evening was
very intense. In hindsight she realized she acted out of
character. She
wondered why that was so. Was it the transformation? If so,
did Alex
know that would happen? And why would he do that, if he did know?

     She thought about it for a time, concluding Alex
probably didn\'t
know what would happen, he wasn\'t the type of man to use
trickery for
that reason. Though he acted arrogant on occasion, and planned
things
out ahead of time, he wouldn\'t do anything to break the trust she

instilled in him.
     She sighed again. fel felt
very tired when before she was quite
awake. She felt a odd prickling which
she ignored, thinking it nothing
more than a itch. The itch persisted,
quickly spreading over her body.
Something in the back of her mind told her
to turn around and face the
horizon. She did and her eyes widened in
surprise.
     \"Souna!!,\" she said, seeing the beginning
of pseudo-dawn building.
She turned back to the dozing Alex and began
shaking him by the
shoulders. \"Alex! Alex, wake up!\"

     Groggly, he opened his eyes. \"Huh? Wha.. Maya, what
is it?\"
     \"It\'s almost dawn!,\" she cried out.

     \"What?!,\" he yelled, \"Aw shit! I have to change us
back!\"
     The two scrambled back on their feet. Maya
could feel her skin
begin to tighten, her breathing became ragged as she
started to panic.
\"Maybe if we flew now, we ca-,\" her voice was cut off
mid-sentence as
the sun finally broke over the horizon, blanketing the Earth

with it\'s ever present warmth. A thin layer of stone formed over the two

of them. Maya was caught with her hands outstretched, reaching for him.

Her mouth slightly agape. Her words, whatever they were to be, unheard.

     Alex, also frozen in stone, looked much calmer then
the woma
loved, having experienced stone slight a few times in his life.
He
sighed mentally before the stone completly overtook his body. She\'s

going to be angry... I just kno-

                             
EPILOGUE

     After calling for the fifth time that morning,
Makoto hung up the
phone dejected. He had been trying to call Maya all
morning.
     \"No luck, Makoto-kun?,\" Lyn asked from her
station across from his.
     \"Ie,\" he replied, \"I keep
getting her answering machine. I don\'t
know about you, but I\'m actually
starting to worry.\"
     \"Makoto-kun, Maya-san is an
adult, you know,\" she said to him. A
small grin quickly formed on her
heart-shaped face. \"She could be with
Xanatos.\"
    
Shigeru looked up from his monitor, where he was putting the
finishing
touches on a song he was writing. \"Che, I kinda doubt that,
Lyn. You\'ve
known Maya about as long as we have. She\'s the type of girl who
wants to
wait for her wedding night.\"
     \"Well, yeah. You have
a point. But where can that girl be?\"
     \"She could
just be out,\" Makoto suggested, \"It is her day off after
all.\" He chuckled
when Lyn stuck her tongue out at him. \"Very nice. And
you say I\'m immature
sometimes.\"
     The conversation continued on for a few
minutes. Eventually the
subject was dropped. The day went by quietly, with
thankfully nothing
exciting happening.

  &nbnbspnbsp; A jogger, doing her morning run, suddenly stops when
she spotted two
statues of a man and woman with wings and tails. \"Hmm. Never
seen these
here before.\" She shrugged to herself and continued on her way,
filing the
discovery as unimportant in the back of her mind.
