WARNING: contains strong but non-explicit adult themes, strong language and a human being swallowed little red riding hood style by a naga. (so not violent, K - rated, but possibly disturbing) If these things bother you, don't read this chapter. Just skip this chapter.

This story continued in "Ripples and Tides".

I've decided to continue both stories, "Passing On" and "Moonlight Naga" in one sequel, because from here on out they are too interlinked to be separate fics. You don't have to read both to understand the sequel. So check out "Ripples and Tides"

Roxas stilled for a moment. Those words broke his heart, and tears began to trickle down his cheek.

Axel paid no mind to his tears as he occupied himself with getting a taste of his meal. He made a show of licking down Roxas's jaw. "Mmm," He practically shivered. "Gods, you taste so good," he said, licking him again, savoring him.

As Axel tasted him, Roxas cringed away from the naga, whimpering at the feeling of Axel's warm wet tongue sliding over his skin.

The redheaded reptilian leaned back, "Hmm...wrappers or no wrappers?" he mused aloud to himself, looking over Roxas's clothes, before reaching for his knife.

His eyes darted to the glint of his steel blade, then widened in fear of being cut. If Axel was going to kill him, he probably wouldn't think twice about making him bleed.

The naga ignored Roxas's fear and simply grinned as he adjusted his coils so that they loosened, and the tip of his tail slid up, waiting to capture Roxas's wrists as the naga grabbed his arms and forced them over his head. The coils circled around his wrists and hands, but that was all that held him. Now his body was exposed to the naga, who once again smirked.

Axel knelt downward, nuzzling Roxas's thigh as he moved down his body, slicing the pants off. He then slithered up his body again, running his tongue along Roxas's skin from ankle to face, once more making a show of savoring him.

Even here, now, with what was happening, feeling Axel move over him like this was enough to make Roxas hard. His face burned red, because this whole thing was being watched, but he couldn't stifle his moan as Axel tasted him. He was terrified, but the fear was mingling with pleasure, intensifying both. His eyes had almost slipped closed as the naga continued to bathe him with his tongue.

Roxas was sweet. Sweet, tangy, and it was enough to make Axel shudder. It filled him with a mixture of self loathing and anticipation. "I wonder how it'll feel, you know?"

The blonde's eyes opened and he looked at the naga.

"Feeling you wriggle inside me." Axel placed a hand on his stomach and smirked, gripping Roxas's hair and tugging back, not hard, but enough to expose the boy's throat.

Roxas's eyes were once more wide with fear as his mind raced over what Axel had so lightly said. Feel, how would it feel, sliding down his throat, down and down, trapped, and then dying down there? How painful would it be? He shuddered, and the fact that the naga's sharp venomous fangs were against his skin did nothing to calm him.

Axel did not bite, however, but tenderly nibbled at Roxas's throat a moment, which once more made turned Roxas's whimper from one of fear to one of pleasure. Axel continued to nibble, lick and tease Roxas's neck, before finally unsnapping his collar.

Axel leaned back, taking the collar from his mouth, and wrapping it around his wrist three times before snapping closed. "I'm real curious, you know, how it'll feel when you slide down, and once you're in my stomach? Wanna make any bets?"

Roxas was silent, staring at his collar wrapped around Axel's wrist. Roxas had never taken that collar off since Axel gave him the precious gift, except to bathe. Not because Axel made him wear it; Axel had only gotten it for him to keep him safe. The collar meant he was Axel's and if every naga knew it then none of them would try anything. But Roxas wore it even when no other naga were around, because he liked that Axel had gotten him a gift. It was as fine as any necklace in Roxas's eyes. He'd worn it because it was from Axel, and because it meant he belonged to him, which was all Roxas had wanted, to be wholly his lover's.

Roxas hoped Axel would keep the collar, as something to remember him by. More than anything, he hoped that Axel would at least remember him, and not just as particularly enjoyable meal. He then looked at Axel, who seemed so cruel, like it was all a joke, and he was just a toy. Maybe he always had been, and it was all a game. For a moment he was silent, and could think of no reply, until finally he managed to murmur, "Will it hurt?"

"Probably," Axel shrugged, "but it might hurt less if you don't squirm. So be good and you'll slide down easily. When I swallow you, stay perfectly still, got it memorized?" Axel let his fingers trace over Roxas's hip bones idly for a moment, before moving to wrap around his shaft. "But first, I should relax you. Don't want any snags on the way down, after all." Axel laughed slightly.

Roxas trembled, and then moaned softly under Axel's all too familiar touch.

Axel grinned at the human's response, and then lowered himself , gods, was he really going to do this right here in front of everyone? He suddenly felt that he might die of embarrassment before Axel got the chance to eat him, but then Axel did that thing that always made Roxas melt and nothing mattered because the world had gone white.

Axel pulled back for a moment. "Oh, fuck, you taste good!" Axel practically moaned the words, before once moving down.

Under the circumstances, those words were more frightening than complimentary, because soon Roxas would become food. Yet, at that moment, Roxas couldn't bring himself to care about anything except how good it all felt.

"Axel." Axel knew him so well. Roxas's eyes were half closed, as he just let go, and enjoyed the feeling. Roxas wanted this to last; he never wanted this to end, because he knew once it did Axel would get back to the task of eating him. Every moment this lasted was another moment alive, and as far as last moments to live went, this was pretty good. Too good, really, because he knew there was no way he could hold back for very long. He was a teenage boy with almost no control, and this was Axel.

Axel, who knew him, and must have known he was fighting. His eyes seemed to be laughing, like this was a game, a challenge. Roxas didn't want to come, but Axel was going to make him. He was the one in control here, and he knew how make his boy do exactly what he wanted.

Roxas couldn't help but melt, his entire brain going blissfully blank as he gave in to his body's need.

"Mmm…tasty." He grinned. "Perfect appetizer," he licked his lips, "now for the main course." He dropped his coils down to wrap around Roxas's chest and middle. Axel held him tightly in his coils, and lifted him slightly as he knelt lower. He brought Roxas's feet to his mouth, and began to lick at them as he distended his jaw.

Roxas had been completely relaxed, bathing in the afterglow, a soft smile on his lips. Then Axel spoke those words, and he immediately began to panic again. He looked down at the naga. "Axel?"

Axel smirked up at him, nibbling. "Now don't go all taut on me, Roxas," he purred. "Don't want me to have to fuck you boneless do you?"

Roxas took a nervous breath, "If it's a choice between that and being dinner, then yes, please fuck me." He was terrified and desperately trying to stall.

"Axel," Sephiroth's voice cut in, "it's all well and good to play with your food, but we don't have all night."

Roxas managed to turn his head to look. Demyx had vanished, who knew when he'd slipped off. The remaining naga, Xemnas and Sephiroth, looked impatient and bored.

Axel shot Sephiroth a fiery glare. "Fine…fine," he said, pulling Roxas up more, so he was in a better position to swallow him.

"No!" cried Roxas.

Axel grinned. "Just relax, Roxy. It'll be over soon enough and you won't have to worry about anything ever again." He smirked. "Now stop talking or I'll have to gag you."

Axel's words were far from comforting. It'll all be over soon? Yeah, that didn't help! Roxas didn't want it to all be over! He didn't want to die, not now, and not like this. Although Roxas kept silent, his blue eyes shown with desperation, his silent plea loud and clear.

The naga ignored him. "Down the hatch." He distended his jaw. Axel lurched forward, gulping down Roxas's legs and swallowing the boy up to his knees.

Roxas began to thrash like a mad thing as the naga gulped down his legs. Axel's grip was strong, but nonetheless, he tried to twist, and kick. The only effect of this was his legs scraped against the naga's teeth, causing them to cut into his skin, but he was too frightened to care.

Axel savored the blood as it mingled with the flavor of Roxas's skin. The taste was good enough to make him moan through his full mouth.

This reaction made Roxas struggle all the harder. Axel rolled his eyes, at his prey's feeble attempt, before constricting his coils around Roxas. In the same instant he shoved the end of his slender tail down Roxas's throat.

The message Axel was sending him was very clear to Roxas, stop fighting or be crushed. The tightening of the naga's coils hurt and made it hard to breathe. Then Axel gagged him with his tail. Roxas bit down, hard, before choking, coughing violently, and trying to breathe through his nose. Then his body relaxed, swooning for a moment, though he never lost consciousness, everything just sort of spun and sparkled. Then he went limp.

Axel took another gulp, followed by another, as he quickly swallowed the now compliant meal up to his hips. His stomach was beginning to distend as Roxas's feet and legs slipped inside.

As he swallowed, he loosened his coils, allowing Roxas to breathe easily again, and pulled his tail so it merely gagged the human, but didn't choke him.

Roxas gasped softly as Axel let him breathe, but didn't dare struggle again. The naga's tail, which remained in his mouth, kept him from screaming. There was nothing he could do, so his body just gave in. It really wasn't so bad. It felt...nice. It was perfect warmth, soft and moist, and easy just to let himself be pulled deeper and deeper. Every time the naga swallowed he slipped further down, and Axel's throat seemed to hug around Roxas's skin as it steadily pulled him in. No escape, but at least it didn't hurt. He wept softly, because he knew he was helpless, and soon it would be over, but otherwise kept still.

Sephiroth and Xemnas saw Roxas weeping and smirked. Axel, meanwhile, focused on the task at hand. He was almost to Roxas's shoulders, and needed to position the human's arms. With his own hands he gently guided Roxas up above his head, so the human's hands would be the last thing to slip down. Roxas allowed the naga to push his arms up and did not fight the coils which held them there. If he fought, he'd just end up breaking something, and being in agonizing pain from a broken wrist would hardly help the situation.

However, though he did not resist, with every passing moment Roxas's panic increased. Axel was up to his neck; one more gulp and his head would disappear down the naga's gullet. Roxas turned his head to the side, fixing his gaze out the window of the hall, out at the sky.

He was never going to see the sky again, or the light of another day. He and Axel usually watched the sunset together from the roof of the barn, and what Roxas liked best about sunsets was that you never had to worry that there wouldn't be dawn. The sun always came back. He'd never thought about what it would be like to know he wouldn't be around to see it.

Then something strange happened which pulled him from his thoughts. His body was more than halfway in Axel's stomach, knees curling in a fetal position, and every part of him that was inside felt…different. It didn't burn, like he'd expected, it didn't even itch…he felt nothing at all. His legs were going numb.

Roxas's eyes widened, what was happening? Was it poison? He'd cut himself on Axel's teeth, and though he hadn't felt Axel's fangs, there was nothing to say the naga's other teeth weren't venomous. Was he dying then? Was this what it felt like?

No, he wasn't paralyzed. He could move, but everything was heavy and numb. It was like the moment right before sleep. Everything was relaxing.

Axel gently entwined his fingers in Roxas's hair as he guided the boy's head into his mouth. Roxas closed his eyes shut as he slipped inside. Axel shuddered as he swallowed again, up to Roxas's elbows.

The strange thing was, Roxas wasn't panicked at all. As more of him slipped down into Axel's belly, the heavy feeling spread, and whatever was happening had gone to his head. When it did, he suddenly he wasn't worried about anything. He just wanted to relax, because everything was fine. His head felt light, and it lolled slightly, as he smiled. This was nice.

Roxas didn't know what was happening, didn't know that Axel's first stomach secreted an agent which, upon contact with the prey's skin, rendered it completely relaxed so it wouldn't fight. He just knew that everything was wrapped in pretty.

Axel was past Roxas's elbows now, and with one last slurp followed by a final gulp Roxas was down.

Roxas curled his arms around himself, feeling totally trapped in the tight confines of Axel's belly. It was all so close and dark. Roxas wiggled slightly, but couldn't really panic. He was too relaxed, and too heavy. That thing, whatever was happening to him, made it just seem so much easier to simply roll over and curl up, snuggled against the side of Axel's belly like a pillow.

"Oh gods," Axel sighed, before burping loudly. He placed a hand on his stomach. "I'm so fucking full, I think, I need like three days to move again." He shot a mild glare at his elders. "Are you happy now?"

Xemnas smiled. "We're satisfied, Axel."

"And so are you from the looks of it." Sephiroth chuckled, smiling at Axel. "Don't you wish you'd done this ages ago?"

Axel shrugged, and then smirked. "Yeah, maybe. He was good," Axel said, licking his lips. "But I'm glad I waited until he was big enough to be really filling. I haven't had a meal this big before; it's kind of nice. But I really just want pass out."

Sephiroth smiled. "It's late. Go home Axel, sleep off your meal." He moved to the side to let Axel pass, Xemnas was already heading out the door.

"Yeah." Axel nodded. "Guess I will." He slithered out into the darkness, seeming happy, though sleepy. After he was well out of the village, he put a hand on his stomach. "Sorry, Rox."

Again, this is not the end, don't worry. There will be more, and if anyone is wondering why Axel is acted the way he did, it will all be explained.
