My Protector (Naga x Reader)

Chapter 1

As the sun shined down brightly on the water, the grass sway as wind blew through them. The sky was clear as day as the sound of a child's laughter filled the air. Down below, a little girl with short h/c ran through the field of grass, laughing away. This little girl was Y/N L/N, four years old. Today, she and her family were on their way to see all the new creatures that hunters and scientists around the world have caught, found or have found something that the creature(s) left behind. On the way the tour guide showed them all the new creatures that have been caught. From a jackalope to one of the newest creatures that no one has ever seen, a naga. Everyone was excited to see it for the first time. No one has ever been able to capture one. But now is the time for everyone to see it. As the little girl pushed through, she went up to the tour guide grabbing his hand and looked at all the creatures everyone called animals. In her young mind, they were really beautiful and amazing. She ran to the jackalope and giggled with it looked at her. She waved and watched as it tilted its head. She moved onto the next animal and it looked like an aquarium. She tilted her head in confusion before seeing a human face pure through the corner. She tilted her head, a bit confused. The figure looked down at her and tilted its head. Before she could react, the little girl was lifted up onto dad's shoulders. The figure grinned and moved away from the corner He was half human and half fish. To her, he was a merman, but in reality, he was a siren. Y/n smiled in amazement as she looked at the half human figure. "Hello tiny child~." He grinned. She puffed her cheeks and pouted. "I'm not tiny!!" She squeaked causing a few people to chuckle. He smiled and placed his hand on the glass. She reached and placed her hand where his was. He smiled and started to sing a soft song. All the girls sighed in amazement and looked a bit dazed. But it somehow didn't effect the little girl. When he finished, some of the girls fainted or fanned themselves to cool off. Y/N clapped her hands with a giggle. "That was amazing! And really you're pretty." A dark blush crept onto his face and he covered his face, swimming back to the corner. She giggled and waved. "Bye, bye Mr. Merman!" His face turned darker from embarrassment. "I'm a siren!" She laughed and turned forward. After going down to see more of these "beautiful and amazing creatures" as Y/N calls them, the last window somewhat had a few cracks and tiny holes on it. The girl was placed down and picked up again. She clung to him and looked around to see more people holding their children. 'I wonder what's going on?' She asked herself while looking at the trees. "Now everyone, I know you're aware of the cracks and tiny holes that we have on these glasses but don't worry their really thick, so they can't break. But anyway, behind this glass is our one and only creature that no body in the world could catch. Two beautiful sleeping nagas." He turned on two lights that showed what seemed like a snake like body in the shape of a cinnamon roll just only with a half human body in the middle. Y/N stared in awe at it, thinking how the skin would feel. "Funny, the other must be in the tree. Anyway, since there are many children here, which one of you would love to feel its skin?" The tour guide asked. All the children gave a terrified look and one just burst out cry. The tour guide raised a brow before turning to see the naga(shoulder length hair) showing its sharp teeth. Parents held their children and moved back. "I wanna touch it." Everyone looked to where the tiny voice came from. Little Y/N raised her hand as everyone stared at her in shock. Her dad looked her in worry. "Do you really want to sweetheart?" She looked up to see the creature tilting its head. And the only really why its head was because it was still a bit dark since the lights were either dimmer or not working, so only the shadowy figure was shown. He gulped lightly and placed her down. She waddled to the glass and slowly placed her hand in the hole. The figure looked down and tilted its head more. It didn't move but stared at the small child's hand in curiosity. She stared at it waiting for a movement. After a few minutes, it left. Y/N whimpered and pulling her hand back in disappointment. "Well then, that's the end of this tour so everyone have a good day!" The tour guide chirped and led them all out. Y/N was then picked back up and followed. "Don't worry, you'll get to see it another time." Her dad replied with a smile and kissed her forehead. She laid her head on his shoulder. "Ok..." She muttered. On the way to the snack bar, she looked back to where the naga was. 'If only I could find a way to get in and really touch it.' She whined in her thoughts. While looking around, she spotted the tour guide from earlier going into a storage room. Her hopes went up thinking it led to where the naga was. While her dad wasn't looking, she quickly ran towards the door and walked in quietly as soon as she opened it. She looked around in curiosity wandering what the place she was in led to. She saw shelves that had small boxes with words from "grass" to "live rats". She was confused until she bumped into a door. The door had an odd smell to it and was a bit crusty, but that didn't stop her from going in the room. She slowly opened the door , breathing in the scent of the trees. "Hmm, I smell a little bit of herb. I think that's what it smells like." She giggled to herself and walked in. She looked around once she closed the door behind her and looked around in awe once more. While looking around, she heard the sound of footsteps coming to the window. She tilted her head and walked around the room to find the noise. Once she reached the glass, she squeaked when the two lights turned on. She rubbed her eyes and looked to see more people who were there to see the naga. The tour guide turned to talk and yelped when he saw her. "Hi Mr.!" She giggled and waved. He ran to the glass in panic. "How'd you get in there!?" He yelled. She was confused to why he was like that. "I--I thought I saw you coming here from the door I just came through." He started to panic and looked around for anything to open the door. After 2 minutes, the crowd screamed and gasped in horror. The little girl tilted her head in confusion before turning around to come face to face with the naga. She squeaked and hit the window while looking up at it. She gasped at its features. Black shoulder length hair, black snake half with white and gold spots decorating the whole half, and black sclera with dark yellow pupils that stared into her e/c ones. 'A male naga.' She thought to herself. Her small hand moved to touch his face but he hissed in response and snapped at her. She pulled her hand back in time before it got bitten off. The male growled at her before his face slowly started to soft. He noticed tears forming in the little girl's eyes and she looked like she was holding back from crying. But she couldn't help it. She fell onto her knees and wailed out loud. "I-I'm sorry Mr.!" She cried. The male swallowed a lump in his throat and sighed in annoyance. He slithered towards the crying child and wrapped himself around her. That caused her to stop crying for a bit only to leave her hiccupping as she stared into his eyes again. He ran a hand through his hair and pulled her into his chest. Everyone stared in shock, awe and amazement and started taking pictures. She looked up at him with tears till in her eyes and sniffed. "W-Why?" She hiccupped. He pulled back and wiped her tears with a smile. He pressed her forehead against hers and nuzzled her. She giggled slightly and wrapped her small arms around him. He grabbed her left hand causing her to tense up a bit. He cooed and slowly guided her hand to his tail. She looked down and then took control moving her hand along his lower half. "its so silky." The male chuckled and ran a hand through her hair. She giggled and planted her face into his chest. "I can't wait to see you again Mr. Sn--" He placed his index finger on her lips and shook his head. "It's Gratsu." She giggled and nodded. She stood on her tippy toes and grabbed his face. "I'm Y/N, I can't wait to see you again!" She smiled and kissed his cheek. His whole face turned red and looked away from the crowd who gave awws and chuckles. "hey kid." She looked up and tilted her head. He leaned down to her ear. "When you get older, I wish for you to come see me until the day I'm gone, ok?" The girl looked at him confused but nodded anyway. "O-Ok." He smiled and took off one of his bracelets and placed it on hers, stroking her cheek with a smile. Before he could say anything else, he hissed in pain and pulled her into her into his chest. She looked up and saw that a tranquilizer was shot in his shoulder. He lifted her chin and kissed her forehead. "R-Remember this kid...I--I do love you..." He mumbled before passing out. "G-Gratsu..." He didn't move. She started to cry and shake him. "Gratsu!!" She cried. She heard another hiss and looked behind her to see that another naga was behind her. And he looked pissed which caused her to cry more. The male growled, thinking it was the small child who had hurt him but heard the sound of gun clicking and looked up to see three males holding their positions to shoot. "i'm sorry..." The naga looked down to see the girl shaking. "I-I'm s-sorry!!" She hiccupped and buried her face in the passed out naga's chest. The other male growled lowly at the men, who slowly took a few steps back. He slithered towards the little girl and placed a hand on her head. She looked up with tears still trailing down her face and a bit of fear in her eyes. He picked her up and slithered only a few three feet to the men. "You'll see him again. Don't forget about him, got it?" She nodded slowly and walked towards them. She watched as the naga hissed at the men which caused them to grab her and ran out quickly. Once she was out, her dad came running to her, hugging her tightly. While he continued to cry and hug her tightly, she was in her thoughts thinking about the words that they both said.

"I do love you." "Don't forget about him."

She smiled and hugged him back. 'I will...' She giggled and hugged her sobbing dad rightly. On the way to the car, little Y/N looked back at to see the tour guide running towards her. "Hello there little miss. I got a present for you." He smiled and handed her a small box. On her way home, she held the box while thinking of those same words. 'i'll remember you...' She smiled before going to sleep.
