Old Friends
Quon kept his distance from the new inu and he was truly seething as he stared at the violet eyes of the damn beast. It made him annoyed that he was an attractive male but it was obvious to him that he had intentions for his mate. He paced and he had the heard the name Hideaki before but he had never seen him before this day. Asuna was now in the dragon castle and he came up behind her.
“Quon stop!” She growled.
“I should like to know who that male is. He wants you.” He growled back.
“Damnit Byakko! He was sire's general when I was a pup, okay? Now if you do not mind.” Asuna hissed out.
“I do mind! I was brought back by your lovely friend Yhea, remember? Do you think I will forget the nu zi I was madly in love with four hundred Gods damned years?” Quon growled in fury.
His silver eyes were rather intense and he walked her backwards into a wall. He held her chin and he proceeded to give her another mind altering caress. Quon needed her to realize how much he had missed and needed her still. He had only mated the once and the sister of Ming Li had been dismissed. She was whimpering into the kiss and he lifted his lips barely.
“You have had my heart since I was ninety two years old inu. You have had my soul for that long as well. I was not complete in that fucking accursed place. They would not allow you to me and it killed me! Why do you think I jumped at the chance to return?” He asked pressing himself against her tightly.
“Kaito kept me to himself. I was sequestered away from everything.” Asuna moaned.
“Selfish Tomoshibi. You are yoked to several but you will not forget me. I know damn well Naraku will not allow you to forget him either. I am not leaving my beautiful wife so you can get over it.” He stated nipping along her chin and throat.
“I do not want you gone from my life Quon. I never did! You are the one that kept dying!” She snarled.
“Sorry about that.” He mumbled as he began to worry her bottom lip.
“Quon! Not in the middle of the hall!” She groaned.
His eyes were clouded over in lust and he watched her face. He slipped his hand into her kimono and he used his body to shield any from view.
“No undergarments? Good.” He actually purred.
Her mouth fell open and he was rubbing along her lips. Asuna then bit her lips when his fingers found her clit. Quon breathed along her neck and she was physically shuddering.
“Remember when we first met? You thought me innocent? You used to taunt me.” He whispered in her loudly.
“Hai. I am sorry. I wanted you honestly. I was so attracted to you even in Sapporo.” She admitted through the pleasure.
“I wanted you too. I saw you in that camp and I lied to myself about why I took you. You had similar coloring to us Byakko but so beautiful. When we finally made love; I was so far gone in you.” Quon stated as he slipped a finger into her.
“You are releasing your shoki?” She groaned loudly.
“Shhh inu. Too loud.” He chuckled in her ear.
She slammed her open palm against the wall and her other hand gripped his shoulder and Asuna dug her claws into his shoulder. She was going to have a massive climax and she did not trust herself to be quiet.
“Quon! My room now, please!” She snarled.
“No. Your face is incredible. You are going to come my love?” Quon purred louder.
“Hai!” She said as her eyes closed and she felt washes of pleasure.
He felt her shaking violently and he was pleased. His mouth covered hers as she began to cry out and scream out. Quon was very pleased and she shook for awhile. Finally she sagged and he released her lips.
“You okay?” He asked licking her ear.
“Hai.” Asuna murmured sated.
Her head rolled and she saw Hideaki across the massive hall. He ducked away and she groaned softly.
“You knew he was there.” She accused.
“Yes well I did not care.” He growled.
He picked her up and slowly walked them back to her appointed rooms. He intended to make her scream and he was quite happy that his feline body could do as such. He opened her kimono and undid his own ku. Quon slipped into her slippery depths and made sure to pull back too slowly. Her claws dug into his back and she was crying out loudly. He did not care how badly she tore him up. He only increased the speed of his thrust and pulling back when she became utterly mindless and marked his throat in her passion. Quon was very pleased when she passed out. His own orgasm made him like a cub but he was in a way marking his territory. He fell to his bloodied back and his breathing evened out. She was still out and he could count four climaxes on her part. He smiled and he decided he needed Cheung here to track Gabrielus. He hated to see the pain on his cub's face. She was in love and he would deliver the serpent to her. He honestly would have preferred her with a male tiger but the twins were just too strong for most males of his species. He was also to rapt around his baby girls' hands. He fell asleep and he would send Wen back for her Uncle Cheung later. For the moment he had his inu all to himself.

Hideaki was brooding badly. The damn snow tiger had been really brazen and if he had been a wild tiger; he was doing tantamount pissing on a tree. He clenched his hands and he debated about going back to the West and telling Sesshomaru everything. His knew his friend and at this point, he wanted his heir and eldest pup with an inu. He snarled as he stood and he stalked amongst the dragon lands. He saw one of her female cubs and she had with her another male tiger that looked like the tiger prince. He wondered if the princess had actually born inu pups and Hibari stood behind him.
“Hai several.” She stated bluntly.
“Has she? Well that is good. How many?” He demanded.
“Hiroto, Kazuo, Yuzuna, Ken'ichi, Minkah, Hana, Manami, and Judafre.” She stated.
“A goodly amount but a few of those names are not Japanese.” Hideaki stated crossing his arms.
“True. I do not know Minkah very well. He is a mystery to us as his sire demanded he stay in the past.” She said looking at the water.
“In the past?” He asked cocking his head.
“Hai. Haha's soul has reincarnated. That is what causes such an issue with the wraiths. She went back when Maec and Sanra got a hold of her and Maec might as well have raped her. Lei ended up killing his babe and she went back to Egypt. Anyhow long interesting story but pretty complicated. I do not think Anupu is still even speaking to her on that one.” She shrugged.
Asuna had heard the conversation and she was red and blushing so hotly as she came closer. Hideaki watched her carefully and Hibari bowed.
“Are you sure the tiger does not have inu in him? He was quite determined to mark you as his territory.” He snorted.
“Leave him alone! I have had a very long term relationship with him.” She said hissing softly.
“I feel whispers and I know that you truly are not a typical female of any sort of any species. You have taken the mantle of heir and added ruler to it. Do you enjoy having your studs?” Hideaki asked bluntly.
“How dare you! You know nothing of my life Hideaki.” Asuna growled.
“It does not mean I will not know it. I may not be in the very distant era that you are from but I am here now.” He said invading her personal space.
“Back off!” She snapped.
“No.” He hissed.
“I do not know you obviously.” Asuna said trying to breathe.
“No you do not but I know we have a reptile to find and more battles to fight. I am around.” Hideaki said bowing.
She shivered as she watched him walk on and he was pulling his long silver hair up. He was stunning and by the Kamis she was in trouble with him. She looked back and she groaned when she saw Cheung.
“Hello brother.” She sighed.
“Hello Asuna. You looked stressed and smell delicious.” Cheung said smiling widely.
“Dragons are not whores Cheung. You may have to port on over to the mainland to find yourself an agreeable partner.” She said sarcastically.
“You wound me! You seriously think I cannot go a day without sex?” He asked innocently.
“No.” She said walking past him.
“I still remember a dagger near my crotch. Gods you were so damn hot.” He chuckled.
She lifted her head and she walked on. Cheung loved to ruffle her feathers even as long as she had been in the family. He never gave Yoshiko crap simply because Ling would have killed him. She tried to keep her head and it was swimming. She had a huge feeling that her personal life was going to explode this far back.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Akemi was trudging along and she finally came to the conclusion that her mate and brother in law were not where but when. She looked at the basilisk “Bartie” as she called him and she really liked him. She decided the black basilisks were not bad at all. She figured they were horn balls but she could live with horn balls. They were heading back towards Asia and she had stopped in a monastery that had dragon motifs and she was praying to Tianlong.
“Who is this dragon that you pray to?” Bartemus asked curiously.
“He is the founder of most the Asian dragon houses. He is a golden dragon. His eyes are gold in his humanoid form and green in his true form. He is kami dragon.” Akemi explained.
“Wow.” He said smiling.
“You are so cute.” She chuckled.
“Cute?” Bartemus asked slightly offended.
“Hai. I have sons older then you.” She smirked.
“Oh. I guess I would be cute. I am only two hundred. I went to sleep right after Latium fell.” He said thoughtfully.
“I am so sorry. I have read a little of what my cousin has shown me. Oh! They are so active.” Akemi murmured.
“The wyvern too? I cannot imagine having a wyvern.” He stated in disgust.
“I know but he did not ask to be here. As much as I fought against the idea of him; he is still mine and I will kill Drostan if he tries to take him!” She growled.
“Si! I believe you would. Regina Valentina was so sweet and soft. She was married to him at one time but it is said he harmed her. You are sweet and seem soft but I think you bite, no?” He chuckled.
“Drostan only treated her how he was taught. I am not saying it was right but the wyverns do not teach tenderness to their males and most certainly not toward females. He used me ill but he did not rape me.” She said in anger at herself.
“Truly?” He asked shocked.
“Hai. Maybe time has changed him just a little but you do realize he is trying to do to Ryukotsusei what your cousin did to him.” Akemi pointed out.
“He is trying to take the woman he wants so badly.” Bartemus replied.
“Hai.” She nodded.
She touched the statue and she turned. She lowered her head to the floor and she spoke in Japanese. He was fascinated but he about jumped out of his scales when he saw the very being she had described.
“Akemi?” Tian said softly.
“My lord!” She cried.
“What would have me do?” He asked lifting her chin.
“Do you know where Ryu and Ryuu are?” She asked.
“They are in ancient times beloved Akemi. Do you wish me to find a way for you? It will be dangerous.” Tianlong stated wrapping his arms around her.
“I can handle it. I know things are no good but it seems as if we can help our fellow reptiles in Italy and stop the Reds and wyverns.” Akemi said looking up at his golden eyes.
“Hai. The blacks are worthy and good but licentious. They are different from us Akemi. Take care when you go. I will find your cousin for she is here as well.” He said cupping her chin.
Akemi felt safe and she felt completely whole as she only did when she was with one from the House of Ryu. Tianlong knew of his future actions and it did not seem so ridiculous anymore. He lowered his mouth and kissed her with conviction. Bartemus turned red as he watched the dragon kami kiss the current Lady of the Ryuku Islands. Finally he released her and she was stared up at him with big blue eyes.
“I shall return. Stay here until then.” He commanded.
“Hai.” She nodded.
Tianlong just disappeared and she turned and she was blushing. Bartemus was a little embarrassed and he looked around. She searched the old temple and she found bed rolls.
“Here Bartie. We need to lie down and sleep for now.” She commanded.
“Si.” He nodded.
She took a deep breath and she lay on her side. She missed her mate and she had to admit she missed Ryuu badly. She would keep the identity of this babe secret and she knew he would too. They would never say anything but he would die for this child. She fell into a deep sleep and Akemi was exhausted. She woke up later and she felt dread. She crawled to Bartie quickly and she whispered into his ear. He phased out as she commanded and she had not told him why.
“What do you want?” She yelled.
“You have been most hard to find.” She heard in a thick British accent.
“I have not wanted to be found.” Akemi said shaking in anger.
“Your cousin has been to see you I think. That woman is a pain in my ass. Well so you know that I have been back and forth. God woman look at you.” He said coming in from the shadows.
Akemi was still wearing her kimono and he had discovered her little rescue of the basilisk. Her silver hair was down and she was heavy with child. His pale blue eyes were filled with crazed lust as he took in her.
“Do you know what it is I gave you?” He demanded going to his knees.
“A son. He is my son.” She snarled at him.
Something jerked in his heart and he crawled over her. He braced her with his body and he pressed his hand to her belly. He felt something roll under his hand and his eyes met hers.
“You will fight me for him.” He said in awe.
“I will fucking kill you for him bastard!” She screamed.
He was unused to a female being this way and he slowly undid her kimono. He saw her full breasts and they were bigger then his cunt ex-wife's had been. Her belly was swollen and she looked about ready to have the babe.
“Do you know what you look like to me?” Drostan stated in a husky tone.
“Do not care.” Akemi hissed.
“I have never seen breasts this full.” He said softly.
Akemi groaned loudly as he wrapped his mouth around one full nipple. He groaned heavily as he drew it deeply. Her lips trembled as he suckled her too gently. His hands reached behind her upper back as he continued to tease and suck. She became mindless to his attentions as he slowly moved away.
“God you taste delicious.” He stated in a lazy drawl.
He shifted them back to his citadel and they were on his bed and he saw her belly roll. His eyes roved her lustfully and he decided that he could indeed get used to this sight.
“So lovely you know. If I had known how delicious you mammals tasted I would have impregnated one sooner.” He smirked.
“Sick bastard!” She growled.
“I love your temper. Open your thighs now!” He commanded.
She refused to put herself in danger but he suddenly grabbed her hands and tied them above her head.
“Sorry love. I am not stupid. I saw what you did to my men.” The wyvern king chuckled.
She squealed in anger but he spread her thighs widely. He settled himself on his stomach and she realized that he was going to pleasure her. Akemi was dumbfounded and he began to lick at her and it was slow. He flicked his tongue over her clit and she was groaning loudly. Drostan found her taste to be way too addictive and he continued to tongue her to completion. She arched until she hissed softly. He tasted her juices and it was wonderful. He moved up her body and she was flushed.
“You feel anger and resentment Akemi but I want to give you happiness and I want you to feel pleasure at my touch.” He said in a lusty tone.
She watched him slowly disrobe and his reptilian member was prominent. She tried to look away and he looked amused.
“I know it brings you pleasure Akemi. I have heard you scream in rapture.” He smirked sensually.
She refused to speak and he undid one hand and he brought her fingers to his staff. She shut her eyes and he groaned.
“Yes! Touch me. I want to feel you touch me.” He growled.
Her hand shook a little and she could feel the slight scales and other differences in his large male flesh. She stroked it slowly and he gasped hard as she worked the flesh in a way that made his eyes bleed darker blue.
“God woman. Yes! Can you be good? Can you not try and kill me at the moment?” He asked in a guttural groan.
She was going to try and escape until she tasted his blood. It seemed the bastard had learned about her uppyr heritage more. She groaned loudly and he undid her other hand. He laid back and she was growling and she eyed his member and he watched her carefully. Akemi licked at his head and he snarled. Never had a woman tried this but he decided that it would happen often. She licked again and he roared out loudly.
“Akemi, I want you. Come here woman.” He said panting.
She moved to him and he grabbed her. He arranged her on her side and lifted her leg a little. Drostan was behind her and he rubbed the head of his cock against her weeping entrance.
“So long since I have felt you.” Drostan hissed as he pushed into her tight core.
She grunted and he realized she was in a sexual lust and soon a blood lust. He smirked against her neck and he had used her needs against her but he did not care. Akemi was all too soon screaming and moaning for him as pushed and pulled. Drostan was lost in her tightness and it was so fucking good. She was gasping as her body was fixing to crash hard. He knew what to expect and her purity hit him in powerful waves. He stiffened and hissed wildly as his hot, hot seed left him in long spurts. Akemi shook harshly and she hated herself for even feeling good after his possession of her body. He slowly pulled back and he kissed her shoulder and neck as he bared her juncture.
“Hold still and do not move.” He commanded.
Akemi did as he told her as he sank his fangs deeply into her shoulder. Any other species it would have hurt like hell but she cried out in pleasure as he marked her. Drostan was pleased that she did not feel any pain from him but he noticed his bed clothes were soaked. It occurred to him the full meaning and a smirk played on his face.
“Akemi. You need food. You have a long process ahead.” He commanded.
“No! No.” She nodded emphatically.
“I found you in time to see my child born. Very good. Bite me very hard my dear. Take deep draughts.” Drostan stated flatly.
Akemi did as he said because frankly she was going to need it. She had no clue about wyvern births but the dragon birth was going to take awhile. She knew the bastard had her mark him and she fell back.
“Are dragon births hard?” Drostan asked as he moved to put on a long robe.
“Hai. They are long and hard. What of wyvern births?” She demanded.
“If you handled a dragon then you will handle him fine. We are similar creatures. I will move you to a clean bed.” He said picking her up.
“Why are so gentle with me? I heard how you treated her!” She growled.
“She did not want my care. You may not want my care but it is out of loyalty to your dragon. I am acting like the fucking basilisk. I should have prepared you the first time for my babe. I should have known its venom would harm you.” He said brushing her silver hair back.
“You are gentle with me. I was told you treated her as if a slave.” Akemi gasped as a contraction hit her.
“You are not a whore. You are nothing like her at all. There is nothing similar to her at all and you told me that you would kill me for him. That tells me much.” He whispered as he carried her.
She grimaced and she arched in his arms as she screamed. He looked at her and he could feel the tension in her body.
“Drostan! Please get me down. Please!” She cried out.
He looked worried and she was sat down on a bed and she sat up. She scrunched up her face and she screamed out loudly. Drostan knelt near the bed and he was afraid she was loosing the babe. She was crying as she bore down and her mind could not fathom but her back had been aching just a little the past few days. She began to pant really hard and she screamed harder. Faster then she had experienced her other two births; she gave birth to a water dragon. She was crying hard as it began to scream shrilly. Drostan had no clue she had twins and he stared at the newborn white dragon. His eyes narrowed and he saw scales.
“Give him to me.” He demanded.
“No! Drostan no! Please do not harm him. Please he is innocent. Please! I did not allow your son to be harmed!” She cried.
“Give him to me.” Drostan snarled.
Drostan ripped the infant from her arms and she screamed hysterically. He actually let out his tongue a little to ascertain him. He tasted like a dragon and the small reptile slowly calmed down. He was still tasting him as he opened blue eyes and Drostan realized that this boy had her eyes.
“Call on my physician now!” He yelled for a servant.
A young female scrambled and Drostan would not give up the baby water dragon. Akemi whimpered and she was sure he would harm him.
“My king?” A brown wyvern said coming in.
“Check her. She is in labor with my son. I want this boy examined as well.” He commanded.
“Yes my king.” He bowed.
Akemi was watching her dragon son like a hawk and Drostan was not giving up the boy as the wyvern checked her.
“This boy will be born quickly my king. He has silver hair.” The wyvern said surprised.
“Drostan please give him to me.” She whispered.
“You will feed them together.” He snapped.
She did not let her eyes off of him and the babe fell asleep nestled next to the wyvern king. Drostan had wrapped him in fur and she was shaking as full labor began again. It became intense and utterly painful as she pushed and strained. Drostan was concerned as she tore rather badly and it only confirmed that she was indeed pregnant with wyvern. Akemi was finally able to push out a silver haired wyvern that had his eyes. He had more scales then his brother and more hair. His blue eyes were very pale blue as he stared up at his sire. Akemi was bleeding badly and the brown was truly not helping her.
“She is still bleeding!” Drostan snarled.
“You wish her healed?” The doctor asked shocked.
“Yes! Make her well! She is the mother to these boys. They need nourishment.” He snarled.
“Yes my king.” He said bowing.
Akemi's head rolled and she stared at Drostan as he neared her.
“They favor heavily. It is difficult to tell they are different species.” He said in awe.
“They are mine.” Akemi said weakly.
“No Akemi. They are ours. This little boy looks like you. The dragon will die if he touches him.” He said standing in anger.
“Drostan no.” She whimpered.
“Give her something to make her rest.” He commanded.
The brown wyvern nodded and he was disgusted. Drostan took the twins to his room and laid them on his bed next to the other. They looked so much alike that it startled him.
“He cannot have you. He will not know you.” He said marveling at the smaller reptile infant.
The dragon's son opened his mouth and made a suckling motion. Drostan watched and he realized he needed to feed. He swooped down to pick them both up and he took them back to Akemi. She was so drowsy but he held up the dragon infant.
“He seems to need to suckle. Show me how they do this.” He commanded.
“Put his mouth over the whole nipple.” Akemi said weakly.
“His name is Uther Mochrie. Our youngest son shall be named Draco Mochrie.” Drostan stated as he watched in fascination.
“He is Japanese!” She said shaking.
“Do not upset them. Can you feed Draco?” He asked.
“Hai.” She said as tears slid from her eyes.
“Here.” He said as he helped her hold him up.
She gasped as the small half wyvern latched on. She glared at Drostan and he chuckled.
“They have strong appetites. They are able to take meat very early on. It will be interesting to see if he will need your breasts for awhile.” He said running fingertips along his cheek.
“Good Kamis he has a death grip like a barracuda!” She hissed softly.
Drostan chuckled and he figured his hybrid son would need both meat and her delicious milk. It had been a rather good evening and he watched as the two males fed and his new mate drifted into a deep sleep. Her sheets had been changed. Drostan made sure they were comfortable and he was affected deeply by these events. She had meant she would attempt to kill him for her children. His ex-wife had aborted his child. No Akemi was different and he had no intentions of giving her back or up. He was determined to make her feel pure pleasure and happiness as much as he could. He would make it a terrible choice for her to leave. He settled the twins between them and he too fell asleep.

Bartemus had ported to a very strange land indeed. He was now surrounded by so many dragons that he was nervous.
“I was sent here by a femmina named Akemi.” He said putting up his hands.
A young dragon with white hair came forward and it was cut short. He bowed and he dragged the basilisk forward.
“Where were you sir? That onna is my mother.” Ryunosuke stated.
“She told me to come here sir because she felt the wyvern ruler. She did not wish to put her babes in danger so she told me to ask someone named Asuna to come, si?” Bartemus stated.
“Lady Asuna is here. Thank the Kamis. Come here.” Ryunosuke stated porting.
Bartemus appeared in a splendid dwelling and he saw a silver haired onna with amber-brown eyes. She came forward and she wore a beautiful orange and red hanfu. Bartemus had to wet his lips and he bowed low.
“Hello.” She said in Latin.
“Hello.” He said looking up.
“My cousin tells me you found Lady Akemi.” Asuna said gently.
“She saved my life my lady. Are you really married to my rex?” He asked softly.
“Hai. Amedeo and I are mated and married.” She said lifting his chin.
“I am a young cousin my lady.” Bartemus said bowing very low.
“Enough bowing young one. She sent you away because Drostan was near? Where did you leave her?” She asked.
“I am sure because it was the wyvern. He had captured me and ordered me drawn and quartered.” He admitted.
“I know where the wyvern citadel is. I will go.” She said quickly.
“I will go too.” Hibari stated.
Asuna nodded and she ported with her Shouten daughter. She managed to mask their scents and she moved along. She lifted her nose and Akemi was here. She moved into a large chamber and she found Akemi asleep with two infant males and Drostan asleep too. Akemi was drugged asleep and Asuna stared at the wyvern in hatred. Hibari went to move and Drostan looked up with navy colored eyes.
“I expected you. Take another step and you will be dead. She is only asleep as the birth was fast and hard. Do not think I will allow you to have them.” He said in a nasty tone.
“One is Ryukotsusei's son you fool.” Asuna growled.
“Touch one hair on any three of their heads and you two will be dead.” Drostan said rising.
“How can you be such an evil bastard?” She snarled.
“Because Moina was never meant for me but her betrayal could not stand. Now this beautiful woman has given me something worth killing you for. Amedeo will still perish for his insults to me.” He growled.
Akemi woke up a little and she saw Asuna. She whimpered and Asuna recognized the inu. Akemi was telling her to go for now. She said she was too weak at the moment and she wanted a way to escape without anyone getting hurt. Asuna backed up and ported with Hibari. Her daughter had heard her cousin and Drostan realized she must have spoken an instinctual tongue.
“What did you tell them?” He demanded.
“I want no blood shed. I want no death.” She said as her eyes fluttered shut.
“Akemi? Woman?” He asked shaking her gently.
Drostan got the distinct impression that something was not right. He felt her head and she was burning up.
“Shit!” He cursed.
He shot up and called on a maid servant and she came to sit with his sons. He picked up the tiny woman whom he had fallen in love with and he brought her to his physician.
“You did not help her!” Drostan snarled.
“She is filthy and unworthy of you my king.” The healer said curling his lip.
Drostan's wings actually spread out and he was furious. He reached for a soldier's sword and he pulled it quickly. He sliced into the brown's throat so fast that he did not see it coming.
“That is not your determination. Brennus!” He screamed.
His general came to him and the small woman was obviously in a high fever.
“Puerperal fever my king.” Brennus stated.
“I will not loose her now. She delivered my heir this night!” Drostan snapped.
“I can only think that the healer that is amongst the Japanese dragon knows her best. I can take the heinous old bitch and bring her here or another citadel.” He stated.
“Do it. I will take her into Scotland. Have my sons brought now.” The black wyvern snarled.
“So you are claiming the dragon's son?” Brennus asked.
“Damn right. He intended to take mine. You can barely tell them apart Brennus. Draco is bigger but that is about it.” He shrugged.
The general nodded and he shifted to Japan. He knew the Ryuku Islands well and he walked into the dragon castle and sought out the old bat that served as the healer to the dragons here. He found and she glared at him. He had to admit for a heifer her age; she looked good. Rena saw the wyvern and she snarled horrendously. Brennus snorted and he flexed his wings. He walked forward and grabbed her. He shifted to Scotland and he shoved her forward. Drostan was holding Akemi and sponging her forehead. Rena gasped as she neared the Lady of the dragon clan and felt her head.
“She had her babes?” Rena demanded.
“Yes.” Drostan growled.
“Did she tear?” She asked.
“Yes.” He said as he stood and laid her on his bed.
Rena moved and removed the layers of expensive silk. She checked the damage and she was horrified. Her hands shook and she looked at Drostan.
“Whoever stitched this laced it with venom!” She growled.
“I slit his throat.” Drostan commented.
“Where is the prince?” Rena demanded.
Drostan snapped his fingers and the dragon babe was brought forward. He was swaddled in brown clothes and he looked healthy. Rena looked him over carefully and he looked so sweet and innocent. Ryukotsusei would go insane she knew.
“He is very healthy.” She commented as she went back to her lady.
She made a list of what she needed and Brennus called on it. Soon Rena had a powerful draught made for her lady and she had poured it down her throat.
“I have only seen her sick once. She has always helped me birth the babes. There is a story that she is a reborn dragoness and that she is the soul of Yingtai.” Rena said reverently.
“You believe this?” Drostan said softly.
“I do. All dragons love her. I have seen her calm lesser dragons and I have seen her hunt for them. I have seen her lay to rest the children of our clan and ease our suffering when we have suffered. This onna has ruled when our lord has been at war and she had been our heart when he is home. How dare you take that from us! How dare you take our prince!” Rena hissed.
“I will not give her back. I will also not give the boy back! His name is Uther and he is mine!” The wyvern ruler said grabbing the ancient healer's throat.
“You kill me and she may not get well. I have seen child bed fever kill many an onna even youkai ones.” Rena growled.
“Get her well. I will not loose her. You will also look on my other son as well.” He commanded.
“My Lord Ryukotsusei is going to kick your scaled tail from here to the Netherworld.” She said in contempt.
“Oh I doubt that old woman. Just save her or I will have no use for you.” Drostan stated in a frightening way.
Drostan stormed from the room and Rena waited. She shook her lightly and Akemi came awake a little.
“My lady?” Rena asked softly.
“Rena! Are my boys okay?” She asked weakly.
“Hai. Your cousin is going to get Ryukotsusei and Ryuu. She is going to get you out of here.” The old dragoness said lifting up Akemi's weak form.
“Okay. I did not mean…I only meant to save the boy.” She said as tears fell down her face.
“I know my lady. My lord's son looks good.” She said giving her more draught.
“Rena, you have to get him out of here. Drostan will not hurt him but I cannot be sure. I need you take him and go. You can port?” She asked as her body was still wracked with fever.
“But my lady I cannot leave you here with that thing!” She growled.
“Drostan will not hurt me. He will not hurt me whilst he needs me for our son. Please get Tomio out of here.” She said shaking.
“That is the name you wish for him?” Rena asked with shining eyes.
“Hai. Please Rena.” Akemi said weeping softly.
“Hai my lady.” She said looking at the cradle.
“Take him to Asuna and tell her to take him to Ryukotsusei and Ryuu in Rome. Tell her to feed him for me for now.” She said wiping her eyes.
“You daughter in law and Ryunosuke are home too.” The healer stated picking up the infant prince.
“Good. Okay go now!” Akemi said urgently.
Rena ported with the baby and Akemi began crying harder. She could feel her body was extremely sick. She thought she was immune to wyvern venom and she fell back exhausted.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna was in shock as she stared down at the precious little babe and she looked at the old dragoness. Ryunosuke and Ryuu both hovered over their brother and vied to hold him.
“It is so unusual for an onna to have more then one or two.” Rena explained.
“Lord Ryuu hold your baby brother.” Asuna commanded.
Ryuu held out his hands and his baby brother yawned. He could so many similar traits between himself and the infant that his heart was touched. Ryunosuke hovered as well.
“You will take him to Father? He will be most upset that he was not here for the birth.” The younger brother stated.
“You all need to expect retaliation. Drostan will move Akemi around so it will be difficult to find her. Rena why was she sick? I assumed she was immune to wyvern venom?” Asuna demanded.
“It was not wyvern venom my lady. It was another venom. She is not well at all and I only hope I helped.” She said upset.
“You did as your lady commanded now I shall do as she asked. We will attempt a rescue as soon as possible. Akemi wants him in the past for a reason. I shall honor her requests. She is a smart onna.” She said as she carefully picked up the infant.
She called on Kizaki and her Tomoshibi son appeared. He smiled at all around and he nodded to her.
“I need you to send us to the times of Trajan. Hideaki will you come with me. Hibari stay here to assist the twins. Find Gabrielus and defend these borders!” Asuna commanded.
Quon looked displeased but he glared at Hideaki.
“Take Cheung as well.” He demanded.
“How do I explain a tiger youkai? NO.” Asuna hissed.
“Asuna!” Her Byakko husband growled.
“Quon, he is needed here to help. Stop being a jealous fool.” She snapped.
Hideaki kept a straight face and Kizaki made a portal. Asuna stepped through followed by Hideaki. The inu princess nestled Tomio close to her body and she ported Hideaki and herself to the outskirts of Rome. They quickly walked to the villa of Marcus Trajan. She spread her awareness and she walked with purpose to find the Consul of Rome. He was in his triniculum and she appeared in his doorway. He seemed astonished and she was surprised to see Ryukotsusei and Ryuu there too. She was relieved as it made it easy.
“Lord Ryukotsusei! Your son.” She said as she carefully unwrapped the infant.
The dragon lord's face fell as he stood up immediately. Ryuu also stood up as his elder brother immediately rushed Asuna. His hands were shaking as he took the small boy from his former hated enemy and he looked at him.
“Good Kamis. He is beautiful. Oh my Kamis! Why not just come get me? Why did I miss his birth?” he asked in anger.
“There are many reasons but this is Tomio.” Asuna said gently.
“Where is Akemi?” Ryuu asked softly.
“That is the rub Lord Ryuu.” She said sighing.
“Do not hedge Lady Asuna!” Ryukotsusei roared.
Hideaki stepped forward and he had his hand on his fang. Ryuu stared at the inu and he growled loudly.
“Please no violence in my home please!” Trajan said.
“There will be no violence Marcus. General Hideaki this is Lady Akemi's mate! Lord Ryukotsusei sit down now!” Asuna commanded.
All were surprised when he did as she commanded. He held his child close and Asuna noticed Ryuu was very agitated. Hideaki stayed behind her but he was leery.
“Akemi was searching for you. Please do not be angry as things have gone badly. Ryuu the Younger has had to fend your lands from attacks from basilisk and wyvern. I was in my own era fending off the Shouten. Things have shifted back here now. Hibari and Ryunosuke are here now and they are helping. Akemi rescued a black basilisk from Drostan; a cousin of Amedeo's actually. She was on her way back to Honshu when he found her. She apparently was in labor all ready. Both boys are healthy but she has fallen into child bed fever. Drostan had Rena kidnapped and Akemi sent her back with Tomio and demanded I bring him to you. Now that is what is going on and I know you will wish to rescue her. I concur but she wanted to save your son.” She said calmly.
Ryukotsusei digested the information and it was obvious he was upset. He stared at Asuna with fury and anguish. Ryuu was obviously more upset and she began to suspect something.
“Where is the houshi?” Asuna asked.
“He is around here somewhere Asuna.” Trajan said as he came forward.
“Good.” She said nodding.
“Who is this?” The mortal Roman asked.
“Marcus this is my sire's general and head of the Western Army; General Hideaki.” She said in introduction.
“I thought that was your job?” He asked her.
“Marcus!” She growled.
Hideaki watched carefully and it was obvious she knew this ningen well. He was not thrilled to be around the famed Ryukotsusei.
“Why are we still here Lady Asuna?” The dragon lord growled.
“I intend to find some Latium basilisk while I am here. I can feed your son Ryukotsusei. I suggest you handle your anger for a little while. Akemi knows what she is doing. Drostan will not harm her.” She said flatly.
“How do you know?” He snarled.
“Because I found him and I saw the looks he gave her. Whatever he felt for his first wife; he never loved her. He is in love with Akemi and we will use that to our advantage. She is using it to her advantage to stay with her other son.” She said raising a brow.
“How is the boy?” He asked trying to calm himself.
“He has her coloring Ryukotsusei. You can barely tell them apart. The wyvern ruler was highly affected and it seemed he was overly attached to this child as well. They look so much like Akemi that I am certain he will fight you for this little one as well. Twins run in our family and soon this little one will feel the loss of his brother and it will affect him.” Asuna explained.
“Then I need the wyvern child.” He said in anger.
“He is a babe Ryukotsusei. He is innocent and he has to nurse just like Tomio.” She said nearing him.
“Okay.” Ryukotsusei said standing up.
“Now I need to find some more Latium blacks and I need the houshi.” She said looking around.
“Why do you need one houshi Princess?” Hideaki snorted.
“It is Saint Hakushin general.” She said leveling him a stare.
His mouth dropped open and so did the two dragons. They were all surprised and she left the room. Trajan followed after her and Hideaki warily watched the two reptiles.
“I know your face.” Ryuu stated.
“I fought you personally at the end of the One Great War. Too bad I did not kill you.” Hideaki growled.
The younger brother growled loudly and the dragon lord put up his hand.
“The war is over. Akemi is of your lands inu so you can get over any hostility.” He snapped.
“What right did you have touching the grand pup of the Inu no Taisho?” The inu general asked.
“We fell in love. She has now born me three sons. Your anger is a moot point as we have been mated since before the One Great War ended. Stuff it up your canine ass.” He said holding his son close.
Hideaki sneered and he left to follow his princess. Ryuu was growling softly and Ryukotsusei turned to his brother.
“Will you hold my son for a little while?” He asked sighing.
“Hai.” He said keeping down his anxiety.
Ryukotsusei carefully laid Tomio into Ryuu's hands and he went in search of the inu princess. Ryuu stared down at the small dragon and a single tear fell down his face.
“You may not call me Chichi but I swear I will always protect you. I will always love you and I shall always be there for you my son.” He whispered against the tiny cheek of the small boy.
Tomio yawned and opened his blue, blue eyes. Ryuu stared at what looked like endless seas and he knew profound and unconditional love. The love child between he and Akemi looked more like her and he was thankful that he would not have to answer for his sins. He would be able to be near his son and be in his life but he could handle the punishment of not being able to the title of “father”. He would bare that for wrongs he had done. He watched his son as he continued to yawn and look around at the world.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Akemi was shaken awake and she was barely able to open her eyes. Drostan came into focus and he was furious. He did not think her capable of deceit at the moment and he intended to murder the dragoness bitch. His new mate was still so sick that he feared she would die. He lifted her up and he knew one hope he had was to take her to the uppyr castle deep within Romania.
“Bring Draco. Uther is lost to me at the moment but I will get him back.” Drostan hissed furiously.
Brennus actually picked up the silver wyvern and he stared down at the healthy infant. He found him quite handsome and he truly thought the woman would die. Akemi was burning up. He followed Drostan to the uppyr stronghold in the Carpathian Mountains and they were suddenly surrounded by the infamous blood drinkers.
“This woman is in need of help. She is dying and she is uppyr!” Drostan snarled.
A dark haired uppyr stepped forward and he stared at the silver haired woman. He took her from the wyvern and his pale brown eyes flicked over her form.
“Call on his majesty. I shall take her to Luka. Leave wyvern.” He said.
“Excuse me?” Drostan said growling.
The man looked up and suddenly Drostan could not breathe. He was being strangled with an invisible hand and Brennus would have made a move but he had the babe.
“This woman is uppyr then she has no business with you. Is that her child? I suggest you leave him here as well.” He said smirking cruelly.
Another tall man with long black hair came forward and he kept in his surprise. His eyes flicked over the slight form of the woman and he knew instantly that this was a relative of the woman he had an infatuation with. He was glad Syna was away at the moment and he stared at his advisor and friend Janek.
“Janek retrieve the child.” He commanded.
“Da majesty.” He said stalking to the other wyvern.
Brennus was fixing to shift and he could not. He was forced to his knees by that same force and Janek took the infant. Drostan was fighting the hold of the black haired uppyr and his vision was going black. He had encountered blood drinkers before but never of this strength.
“Leave before you die wyvern. I have no tolerance of your kind. Your cannibalism makes me sick.” The dark haired leader stated.
Drostan clawed at his throat and he staggered toward Brennus and they shifted out. Janek looked at Vlad and he knew of the silver haired woman that his leader adored.
“Is she related?” He asked.
“Da. I can smell it. She has poison in her blood too.” Vlad stated.
Janek was entranced with the tiny woman and they took her and the tiny half wyvern into the castle. It seemed so odd to have a mixed uppyr and animal daemon but he knew Vlad and he would not allow any uppyr away from his people. Luka came forward and he began to assess the female and he made a hissing sound. She soon was stripped and put in cold water to bring down her fever and Janek actually bled her. After more then a day, she woke up and her son was next to her and she stared at two faces.
“Hi.” She whispered.
“Hello. He is pretty. I am Vlad Tepest and this is Janek Tawnavich.” Vlad stated.
“Your eyes are brown.” Akemi said hoarsely.
“Da.” He said confused.
“Good. Brown eyes are good. I am Higurashi Akemi. This is my son.” She said softly patting his hair.
“What is your given name?” Janek asked.
“Akemi. Please call me Akemi.” She said closing her blue eyes.
“You are related to Asuna.” Vlad stated.
“Hai. She is my first cousin. Thank you for helping me.” She said feeling sleepy.
“You were laced with a poison from a plant believe it or not. Someone was trying to kill you.” The uppyr ruler stated.
“Probably the wyvern healer. I sensed his malice.” She whispered again.
“You are a bitten uppyr?” The other uppyr man asked.
“Hai. My aunt turned me after another uppyr nearly killed me. She is full uppyr.” She explained.
“I see. You are rather a strong bitten uppyr. I have not seen it before. You will stay here until I can locate your family Lady Akemi.” Vlad stated.
“Thank you your majesty. Thank you for saving me. Drostan kidnapped me but he is in love with me but I am mated to the dragon lord of Japan.” She said as tears fell from her eyes.
“I understand. He needs to feed my lady and I am sure the wyvern will attack. I need to get my warriors together to defend the castle. Janek stay with her.” He commanded.
“Da majesty.” Janek said bowing.
Janek actually helped Akemi arranged herself on her side and he helped Draco latch on to feed. She closed her eyes as he suckled her hard and he watched the half wyvern babe.
“He may be able to eat meat too soon. That might help you. He seems to have quite an appetite.” He stated.
“He does. I am hoping to only feed him milk. I want him to have as much of a mammal upbringing as possible. My mate is a dragon but they have evolved from their reptile pasts.” She whispered.
“Amazing. You are lovely my lady and I can see why the wyvern was attracted. We will shelter you. I have seen your cousin my lady and I suspect she has succubus in her. Is that true?” He asked as he sat.
“Hai. Her mother is half.” She acknowledged.
“I see. She is powerful then. Most succubus's are evil bitches.” He stated.
“She is not. She is good and so is my aunt.” Akemi murmured.
Janek nodded and he was curious at this unnamed aunt. He knew all the powerful uppyr. The babe fell asleep at her breast and she had fallen asleep too. He knew his king and they would protect this woman unto death.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna was looking for Hakushin and knowing him, he was off doing some sort of good works for those suffering in Rome. Trajan was walking with her and they were silent.
“What is crossing your mind Marcus?” She asked.
“You are uncomfortable around me.” Trajan stated flatly.
“There are many issues afoot and I am unable to express myself fully.” Asuna remarked.
“That is bull shit!” He said looking at her.
“Do not take that tone with me.” She said looking at him.
“What the hell is going on?” He demanded.
“My cousin gave birth and the inu that I have not seen since I was one hundred three years old is here. He lost his head to a Shouten whore and it is unnerving me okay?” She snapped.
“What does this have to do with me? You are always easy around me.” He replied and he cocked his brow in annoyance.
Her chest heaved and too many of her lovers were around her at the moment. Trajan was not one to be put off and he jerked her to a basicilla. He slammed her against a column and she growled loudly.
“Answer me now! I think you owe me something.” He said pinning her with his body.
“It is too complicated okay?” She said in a low voice.
“Don't give me that crap. You told me what I am sort of. I know I turn into something but you don't tell me who or when. So what the hell? Tell me!” Trajan demanded.
“Marcus not now! You cannot handle anything. You have your life so live it. I offered you to be apart of mine and you did not want it!” She snarled.
“Is that what this is about? Because I didn't want to be immortal? It seems like I end up that way anyway; wait a minute. Did something happen then?” He asked in a harsh whisper.
Asuna refused to answer and he was a brilliant man. She looked away and he realized he was right. He was dumbfounded and she shoved him off.
“Leave it alone; I am.” Asuna growled.
“You're leaving it alone? What the fuck is wrong with you?” Trajan yelled.
“Do not forget yourself Marcus.” She retorted.
He slapped her face and she grabbed his hand. He was angry and she dropped his appendage, she turned on her heel and walked on. She had been hurt by Kensei's actions and she intended to leave him alone. She heard Trajan following and he was wearing only a white tunic edged in gold and a belt. His sandals laced up his legs and he had a sword in a sheath on his belt as well. His formerly dark hair was now completely silvered and Asuna ached.
“My lady!” Hideaki called catching up with her.
“Hai general?” She asked looking over her shoulder.
He could tell she was upset but the way her lips barely turned down. He looked at the ningen and he growled low in his throat. Trajan stared at the silver haired male and he stopped walking.
“Sir I suggest not growling like the daemon you are. If you're pissed off then speak it. Most of these people have no idea what your people are.” Trajan said crossing his arms.
“Why is my princess upset?” He demanded.
“Hideaki!” Asuna snapped.
“Princess!” He snapped in return.
“Well I'll make this simple for you both; goodbye.” He said walking past them.
Asuna's mouth dropped open and Hideaki was surprised too.
“Find Hakushin! He has holy powers.” She commanded.
“Princess!” He called as she ran after Trajan.
He grumbled and he hated large cities. He stalked into the accursed place and wanted to plug his sensitive canine nose.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////
Asuna followed his scent and he was making his way to the Senate. She had to keep to a staid pace and she caught him at the doors to the grand building.
“Trajan!” She demanded.
Several senators were around and he glared at her. She beckoned him and he refused to move.
“Damnit please come here!” She snarled in Russian.
Many of the Romans were watching and he stalked over to her. He grabbed her arm roughly and he was furious.
“I'm married Asuna. Don't make a scene.” He commanded.
Her eyes almost flashed red and she grabbed his tunic and jerked him forward. She invaded his mouth and he was stunned at her move. She kissed him with intenseness and then pulled away. Trajan stared at her as if she had stabbed him and he was red in the face.
“Are you trying to ruin me?” He screamed at her in the Slavic tongue.
“You are married yet you will bed me at any opportunity. Married for advantage?” She sneered.
“Do you wish me to deny it? Yes! I am married for power. I can do good here Asuna. I can do well for my people. I am married for money and for prestige. You have been my passion since I was a young man but by the Gods you drive me insane!” He yelled.
The senators were gawking at them but she really did not care. She intended to have it out and he seemed to not care at the moment either.
“I mated you and you had a temper tantrum. That is what you did. You had a damn temper tantrum and denied me like you did before. I will not be denied again by you in this guise or the other!” Asuna said throwing up her hands.
“Why would I do that?” He asked confused.
“Because you have a perfectly ordered life just like now and you can do some good. You have a good heart and you are a good man but there is no room for me! I do not take up much room because of what I am but no! That is not for you.” She said actually getting emotional.
“Stop! Enough of this here. We have made enough of a scene.” Trajan sighed.
He grabbed her arm roughly and he was angry. His very subtle spiritual pressure was felt. He dragged her into an opulent room she assumed was an ancient sort of office-study in the senate building. She was fighting the drag on her yoki and she slammed him against a Corinthian column. Their lips became locked as they kissed with brutality and passion. She undid his belt and it clattered to the floor. He fumbled with her obi but got it undid and pulled her shift down and pushed her outer robe off of her shoulders as neither broke the connection at their lips. She ripped his tunic and he lifted her up. Their bodies connected and the heat was unreal. She broke away from his lips and he rasped.
“Oh shit.” He moaned against her neck.
He was guiding her grinding hips as she was holding onto him. She was pulling on the deeply buried powers and he fell to his knees and laid her on the marble floor. Asuna bowed as the invisible forces surged through them and she felt his hot mouth touch one nipple and then suckle another. He was maddened as he took her roughly. Trajan's mouth found her neck and bit at it and she yelped out. The heat and pull on power overwhelmed his mortal body. He pressed his wrist into her mouth and she bit down as she started coming; he bit his own lip as a powerful response came from him too. Trajan was dizzy and out of it as he jerked against his lover. They both were silent in the aftermath of the moment and he managed to get movement in his body. He pulled back and lay down on the cool floor.
“You said mated. What does that mean?” He asked tiredly.
“Youkai marriage.” She whispered exhausted.
“Damn. Okay I'm going have to come up with a good reason why we had that argument.” He sighed.
“I thought our affair was well known Trajan.” Asuna said annoyed.
“No Asuna it's not. Pompeia is from a well connected family and what the hell are you doing?” He asked as she slid down his body.
She was angry and she realized suddenly very, very jealous. She licked at him and he gasped. She laved her tongue to make him hard again quickly and she began to work him over. Trajan was trying to stay quiet and she was ruthless in her quest to make him scream.
“Asuna! Gods please no! Please no.” He said straining and trying not to scream out.
“Ashamed of me Trajan? I assure you I am wealthier then Pompeia.” She growled.
“Are you jealous? You are lamia! How can you be jealous?” He demanded and then moaned.
“Because I love you!” Asuna snarled in anger.
“I told you long ago I loved you.” Trajan whined out.
He pushed himself up and the ningen managed to get her on her back and he was thrusting forcefully between her thighs. She was crying out loudly and he knew without a doubt this would already be all over the forum. Her claws raked down his back and he groaned in pain as he snapped his hips harder. Asuna shattered again and he collapsed against her. He hissed as the wounds stung and he felt her fangs at his throat. She was growling loudly and he dared not move. She said nothing and only growled awhile and finally she released him without biting him and he breathed a sigh of relief. He crawled off of her and he moved over to the base of the column and he knew they had been together well over an hour.
“Can you do that thing you do and take us back to my villa so we can change clothes and get a bath?” He asked in exhaustion.
“Hai.” She said miserably.
“I have loved you a long time woman. You are the one who is conflicted. I just moved on and then you show back up. How am I supposed to be?” Trajan demanded.
“I do not know.” Asuna said staring at him.
She crawled over to him and ported them to his private rooms. He made himself move and he went to his private bath and she followed. He began to wash himself and she followed suit.
“I will have a stolla sent for. It would do if you stayed in your own rooms for awhile.” He said under his breath.
“No. I want you to divorce her and marry me.” She said flatly.
“Pardon me?” Trajan stated shocked.
“You heard me. You do not love her and I have money if that is what you need. I am more then powerful and you can take from my riches. You say you love me then prove it.” Asuna said getting out of the water.
His mouth had dropped open and she wrapped a large linen around her. Her audacity made him angry and thrilled at the same time. He hurriedly got out of the huge bathing pool and he followed her into his room.
“How dare you! She has given me two children.” He said flatly.
“Then I will give you more.” She said calmly as she sat down and brushed out her hair.
“Asuna do you hear yourself?” Trajan asked in fury.
“Hai. I hear myself. I in fact demand this or you will never see me again.” She stated staring at her reflection.
“How can you do this?” He inquired with mortification.
“Because you keep telling me what I did and how I am. Back it up Trajan. I know how easy it is to divorce in this society. I will even grant her a large sum for fucking her husband.” She said making a face.
Trajan choked and he stormed from his rooms. She was calm until the maid servant brought her stolla. She dressed quickly and she stood up and followed his scent. He was in a tunic now and he was staring at her with such rage.
“This may come as a shock to you Consul but this would be a marriage of love. I managed to stop myself from marking you. You have no idea how hard that was for me. I was giving you a choice.” She stated.
He was shaking and he realized that his head maid servant was there.
“Leave us.” He commanded.
His basilisk maid did as she was bid and he stared at her.
“You threaten me and say that I'll never see you again. You threaten my political career and you say this is a choice? You honestly have been the only woman I've loved and you act like a bitch!” Trajan yelled.
“I understand. Enjoy your life Consul. We shall remove ourselves from your presence this day.” Asuna said softly.
Trajan had never felt so helpless in his life. He stormed after her this time and he grabbed her in a bruising grip. He moved her hair and he was breathing hard in her ear.
“You marry me then you had better show up in my life.” He snarled loudly.
“How often am I required?” She asked in a mean tone.
“You ask a lot. You ask me to change everything. I imagine you change history because my little lamia happens to have dog in her. You get your jaws into something and you don't let go do you?” Trajan asked in bitterness.
“You are mine!” She howled out.
He was stunned at her outburst and she turned to watch his face.
“I will inform Pompeia this evening of the divorce. You stated that you would grant her a large sum. See to it.” He said backing up.
“Trajan!” Asuna called actually tearing up.
“What?” Trajan said stiffening.
“I love you.” She whispered.
“Unfortunately for me; I love you as well.” He stated refusing to look at her.
She had wounded him but she would need to secure some funds to bestow upon Pompeia. She quickly ported to Honshu and she was in the Western Palace. She went to the treasury and took a goodly amount of gold and she would explain later. Touga would not begrudge her the money. She was back in Rome and she was laying out the gold bars. Trajan walked back in and he stared at the amount.
“Good Gods.” He said dropping his jaw.
“This is it. I need to find Hakushin. Please handle this.” She said rising.
“Where are you going?” Trajan stated with exasperation.
“I told you I have to find Hakushin; in this huge city I am sure it may be difficult.” Asuna said bowing.
He watched her port out and he was stunned. The amount she was bestowing upon his soon to be ex-wife was huge. Pompeia was fixing to be quite a wealthy woman and the sting of the divorce would be eased. He marveled at her understanding the Roman woman's mind.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna had found Hideaki without difficulty and he was bristling and she put up a warning finger. He realized this onna wielded great amounts of power and influence; more so then Sesshomaru and that thought was frightening.
“What happened?” He asked.
“I demanded he divorce his wife.” Asuna stated looking around and she tried to feel Hakushin's aura.
“For what reason?” Hideaki asked astonished.
“He and I have been lovers for some time. In my era he is a being called a Vizard. He is immortal and I love him. I refuse to be away from anymore. My beast mated him in another era and by the Gods he accused me of things so I will change it. I will make him my husband and then see what he has to say!” She growled.
“You act inu about your lovers.” He snorted.
“I am sorry. Certain ones I do.” She replied uncomfortable.
“You have double standards Princess.” Hideaki laughed.
“He is mine. I refuse for him to share the ningen's bed any longer!” She snarled softly.
Hideaki put up his hands and it actually made him happy for her to show some inu tendencies. It seemed so odd to him but this poor ningen was in for it.
“What is his name as this other being?” He asked curiously.
“Muguruma Kensei. He is a very good man. The House of the Moon is elemental inu and I am an air youkai. Kensei's weapon has command over the air as well.” She explained.
He nodded and it made sense. He chuckled again and she glared at him. Hideaki shook his head full of silver hair and they still searched the City of Rome. She realized that the blasted houshi could be anywhere and she needed to send Hideaki back to the Ryuku Islands with Ryukotsusei and Ryuu. She was furious with her houshi mate and his blasted need to heal everyone. She snarled in annoyance and she took Hideaki's hand and she ported back to a remote part of Trajan's villa. She went in search of Ryukotsusei and Ryuu and found them quickly.
“I am sending you all back. I have to find Hakushin and you need to keep that baby safe at all costs. I will return shortly.” She informed them.
“Causing quite a sensation are you not?” The dragon lord asked.
“I owe you no explanations of my life Ryukotsusei. I am not dragon so hold no judgments on me.” Asuna said lifting her chin.
His eyes held no amusement and he held Tomio. She called on Kizaki and he appeared. He looked around and he nodded to all. He closed his eyes and a portal appeared.
“After this I need to rest Haha.” He said wistfully.
“Hai. I understand.” She nodded.
“Okay.” He said kissing her cheek.
Ryukotsusei, Ryuu, Tomio, and Hideaki went through; although the inu general went through reluctantly. Asuna walked forward towards Trajan's triniculum and she felt Pompeia in a nearby doorway.
“Are you happy?” She asked in a cold tone.
“Are you? I have made you a rich woman.” Asuna replied.
“You have made me a divorced woman. I was the most powerful woman in Rome and you have managed to ruin an amiable marriage.” Pompeia said sneering.
“He does not love you.” She said looking at her up and down.
“You think Trajan loves you? He is a man of Rome. He loves this empire.” She laughed.
“I have known Marcus a long while Pompeia and you are still a powerful woman but in this case I will have my man.” Asuna stated walking past.
“So truly this is not about power?” She asked laughing.
“No. I have my own power; I assure where I am from I have lots of it. I have no need of Marcus's influence.” The inu princess replied.
“You fool. You allow love to enter in?” Pompeia scoffed.
“Always.” She growled.
Asuna walked into the triniculum and Trajan was hunched over and he was holding his head. She came over and put a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and he was obviously in turmoil.
“You cannot find the monk? He's around here somewhere.” He said blankly.
“Trajan.” Asuna whispered.
“What my master?” He asked hoarsely.
“Was that necessary?” She asked hurt.
“I think so. You command and you do…” Trajan spoke but she cut it off by kissing his lips softly.
Asuna kissed his mouth softly several times and his lips were stiff at first. She continued to ply her lips against his and it became softer and longer with each one. His eyes closed and he thrust his tongue to mate hers. She kept it slow and he made a noise as he wrapped his arms around her and she slipped to her knees. Trajan could not believe himself and he had made a decision based off of his heart versus common sense. He was horrified at himself and he was being drawn into her passion. He ripped his lips away and he gasped harshly.
“Our bed. I want our bed.” He said clutching her.
She actually ported them and he pressed his soldier body against hers as he lost all will. His hazel eyes searched her face as one hand helped her ease out of the stolla.
“Truly why are you doing this?” Trajan asked.
“Because I should never have walked away the first time. I should have made love to you in Daicia and I should have given into my need for you. I do not want to loose you and I do not want this to be casual anymore.” She said running her hands through his short silver hair.
Trajan's face held deep emotion as he lay against her as his feelings overcame him. They rolled and she was on him as her lips kissed along his neck and shoulder. Her lips lingered and she fought down her primitive nature against marking him. Her lips brushed his nipple and he made a low growling noise. She nibbled it lightly and he groaned under her. Trajan was going to loose it fast and she was licking and sucking down his torso and igniting slowly burning and pooling fires in his loins. Legends abounded in his own people's history about how stupid Marc Antony had become for Queen Cleopatra. No self respecting Roman would repeat that legend but somehow he was not being a self respecting Roman. She tongued his belly button and he rasped her name loudly. She looked up at him and her eyes were red.
“Beautiful woman. I love you. Make love to me.” He trembled out.
Asuna heard the need in his voice and she licked her way to his staff and licked quickly and he released a deep moan. She wanted him pleased after what she had him do. She kissed along his length and he stared at his ceiling as he felt her fangs drag along his thigh.
“Asuna?” He asked in a deep, needy tone.
She tongued his artery and he knew what she was doing. He took an intense breath as her fangs settled into the artery and the flow of feeling hit him. He struggled with reality as he was overcome in the sensation. He cried out loudly as she guided him within her core and it shook him. Trajan had asked for lovemaking and Asuna was giving him what he asked. She was drawing out the physical act and he truly wondered what happened between his soul and this woman. He wondered what it was that tied them together.

Plinnius had received word that the female dog was back in Rome and he sat back on his chaise.
“The rumor is Senator that the Consul divorced his wife. It is said that she demanded he marry her.” Another of his tribe said smirking.
“Well she is a brazen hussy. Trajan is poised for a fall and I shall enjoy delivering the Consul the final push. I wonder if he will marry her?” Plinnius asked in rhetoric.
“I have seen her. She is lovely to be sure. It is said that she settled upon Pompeia quite the sum. I wonder if we could exact some sort of sum ourselves?” Cornelius said raising a bushy brow.
“I think I shall call upon the new Missus. It shall be interesting to see what is really going on.” He said smirking cruelly.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////
Asuna woke up and Trajan was dressing in a toga. He looked over at her and he smiled.
“Good morning.” He replied.
“Good morning.” Asuna replied with softness in her tone.
“Our situation has caused quite the sensation. I have been summoned by Nerva.” Trajan stated as he sat upon the bed.
“Should I not present myself as well and explain?” Asuna asked.
“He did express a wish of meeting you but I'd hoped to put it off.” He sighed.
“Why? Marcus, I am unashamed of this. I should have mated you when Domitian was emperor.” She snorted.
“Well you are only marrying me not mating, correct?” He said standing.
“Do not tempt me.” She growled.
“If you so wish then please dress quickly.” He said as he went to a table and sipped some wine.
She sighed and she slipped from the bed. She left her hair down and dressed in a soft green stolla. She slipped on geta and took his arm. Trajan and Asuna walked to the imperial palace. They walked in and appeared before the current emperor who was older. He had reddish brown hair and green-brown eyes. Asuna looked him over and he looked at her.
“This is the woman that has caused such a sensation Marcus?” Nerva asked.
“Yes sir.” He said bowing.
Asuna stepped away from Trajan and bowed low before the emperor and Trajan kept his face straight. She was laying it on thick and she raised herself up.
“You did not say she was so beautiful my friend.” The older gentleman said.
“I thank you majesty.” Asuna stated in Latin.
“And her Latin is flawless!” Nerva said smiling.
“I was able to teach her when I was still the General of the Rhine.” Trajan stated looking at her fondly.
“So this truly is a love match?” the emperor asked.
“Yes sir it is.” She replied.
“Well I must say Marcus that I am happy for you but there is fall out. I hope your lovely new intended can handle that.” Nerva said in approval.
“I can handle politics majesty. I am a princess in my lands.” Asuna said bowing her head.
“And royalty to boot. Good job Marcus.” He chuckled.
Trajan looked embarrassed and Nerva finally let them go. Asuna decided to look for Hakushin and Trajan needed to go the Senate. She was in the city itself scenting out and she suppressed her growls. The eagle youkai from one of her last visits came into her line of sight. She narrowed her eyes and he smiled as he walked near her.
“Hello. You return and cause such a sensation. You are such a moron.” Plinnius said in a nasty smirk.
“I swear if you so much as touch me then you will be picking yourself off of the ground in a pool of my toxin. I am not pregnant this time.” Asuna said in a very low tone.
“Shall we remove ourselves so the humans do not see us other creatures get nasty?” He asked smirking.
He walked toward a paladin and she followed. He got on and so did she. They traveled to his villa and she was wary of this creature. Plinnius was curious of her return and he was picked up a chalice of wine and began to drink.
“Why have you come back? I really hate you. You caused so much mischief for my tribe.” He said eyeing her.
“I have returned for my own reason buzzard.” Asuna growled.
“You canines are such an arrogant lot. You come here for what reason dog? You show back to come into my territory? You intend to piss on some olive trees?” Plinnius asked scowling.
She grew furious and she walked right up to him and grabbed his throat. He laughed at her audacious move and his eyes looked more youkai like then normal.
“What are you going to do?” He asked laughing more.
She lost her temper and threw him and Plinnius smashed through his triniculum. He watched as her eyes became red and her marks became jagged. The raw power became deafening and she slowly changed into a rather large dog. Her silver fur was long and she lowered her muzzle and growled at him. Plinnius was actually in awe of the pretty canine but he had no time for her arrogant display. He too changed form and crouched as his face became a large beak and feathers erupted all over his body. Asuna snarled loudly as a handsome creature was before her but he had nasty beak and terrible looking talons. Her lips curled as she snarled as she charged him. He swooped back and his talons caught her side. She lifted her paw and swiped him with her claws and he shrieked in pain as her Dakkasou burned him. They battled on for a short time tearing each other up with their sharp natural weapons and he fell to his humanoid form and he was bleeding heavily. She too resumed her humanoid form and blood dripped onto the marble.
“Rather limited in a villa are you not you stupid bird.” She growled.
“Why are you here?” Plinnius demanded.
“Has it occurred to you that I may actually like Trajan? I am here because I wish to be with him you stupid distrustful bird brained prick! I am sure you are too good to mix with mortals but there is something beyond this plane. You are just that retarded to think that your needs matter above these people because you have no clue who they may become. You have no foresight beyond lining your pockets and what you perceive as power but I assure that there is more to it then what you have lined out for your pathetic excuse for a life!” Asuna said sneered getting right in his face.
Plinnius looked outraged at her words and he was beyond insulted.
“You would choose to bed and marry a mortal?” He asked in a dangerous tone.
“I choose to bed that mortal as often as possible. He is very good at it I assure you.” She sneered.
“Such a powerful daemoness would lower herself to fuck a lowly mortal and then yoke herself for no other reason then because you loved him?” Plinnius demanded.
“Yes.” Asuna retorted.
He could not believe her words and suddenly a sensual smirk played on his lips.
“You have not married the Consul yet.” He said flatly.
“You cannot stop it.” She snapped.
“Can I not? You are here and he is at the Senate.” He purred.
“What are you saying you demented, feather head!” Asuna snapped in anger.
“You are quite cute in your insults. I have motioned for your marriage to be blocked. We would not want a repeat of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra or Marc Antony, now would we?” Plinnius asked innocently.
“How can you block a civil matter?” She snarled.
“This is Rome sweetheart. We can do anything.” He smirked.
He grabbed her and rolled her. He leaned over her and she grabbed his arms.
“As I said a powerful daemoness should not yoke herself to a fucking mortal.” He said in a low growl.
He crashed his mouth against hers and she grew furious. He forced her mouth open and she struggled against his enormous strength. She felt his rather prominent erection and she bit into his tongue. He hissed and ripped his lips off of hers.
“You bitch!” Plinnius snapped.
“Part succubus you jackass. I can make it feel however I want!” She said with rage.
“That manner of uppyr! What a rare find indeed. No wonder you have the bed of the famed basilisk rex. You are like a drug to his scaled ass.” He chuckled.
“Get off of me.” She hissed and kicking him.
“I want Trajan to know I fucked his woman. I want him to come after me and I will destroy him completely. I am not without my own power.” Plinnius said holding her down.
Asuna's eyes widened and she shrieked as she tried to throw him. She realized that there was some sort of barrier and he smirked.
“After your little stunt last time. I was prepared.” He said standing and pulling her arms behind her back.
“You will regret this!” Asuna screamed.
“No, I really will not.” He laughed.
It took two more eagles to drag her to his bed and his look was predatory. They had to chain her to the metal frame and she was screaming and spitting in rage as he used a dagger to cut her stolla from her. She was unprepared for his tongue that began flicking her clit. Asuna was trying like hell to free herself and she suddenly went totally limp. Plinnius looked shocked and he stared at her and she truly looked dead. She had employed her last trick and she appeared in spirit form. She actually took a chance and knew this was really bad but she was in Astana. She saw a younger Maec. He whirled around when he saw her and she was in shadow form. He stormed over and she looked desperate.
“Who are you?” He demanded.
“Help me.” She demanded in return.
“I was a wraith. Kamis damn you, help me!” Asuna snarled.
“Where are you?” Maec asked curiously.
“Rome. You will feel my aura. Help me!” She said vanishing.
Maec was surprised and so intensely curious as to who this beautiful creature was. He phased into the corporeal world and phased to Rome. He did indeed feel a powerful aura and he phased into a building. He saw a corporeal daemon fixing to rape the woman he had seen and he suddenly grabbed him and threw him across the room and he slammed into a column. Asuna stared up at Maec and she thanked the Kamis. He reached down and said something under his breath and the manacles shattered. She dove for sheet and she wrapped herself in it.
“You will regret this Plinnius. I am going to barbeque me some eagle for dinner!” She snarled.
Asuna grabbed Maec's hand and she ported them to the hills outside of the city. She sat down on the ground and she was shaking. He eyed her and she looked up at him.
“You said you were a wraith. How is it you are corporeal?” He asked with disdain.
“None of your business Shouten. Thank you for your help. Now please return to Astana and your mayhem.” She retorted.
“You ask for my help and you dismiss me? Do you have any idea who I am?” He growled.
“I know exactly who you are Maec tr'Awnhi. You are powerful and I knew you could break those manacles. Now I have thanked you, please leave. This is the corporeal plane.” Asuna said raising a brow.
“What era are you from little girl.” He said smirking.
“None of your business.” She said archly.
“How intriguing. You have the ability to separate from this hunk of flesh. When did you live as a wraith?” He said grabbing her.
Her breath quickened and his eyes narrowed. Maec watched her face and many emotions passed her face.
“You have just rutted.” She said growling.
“I am married.” He said laughing.
“We both know you have many lovers Maec. So which female or male did you dip into this time?” Asuna asked with malice.
“You know me. How quaint. I prefer women.” Maec said lifting her chin.
“Whom did you fuck wraith?” She asked snapping her fangs.
He found her suddenly very interesting and she was eyeing him carefully.
“My second wife actually.” He chuckled.
She scented his neck and she growled loudly. She was acting a fool she realized but she was furious. He did not know her and she looked at him and her eyes were red. She slammed him against a rock with her telekinesis and he was actually stunned. Maec realized he could not phase and he stared at a succubus.
“Hai. You stare at a succubus.” Asuna said nearing him.
She began to undo his expensive linen tunic and he tried to fight the incredible hold. She twisted his gold nipple piercing on his left side and he snarled softly as pleasure raced to his groin. Asuna repeated it to his right one and he groaned.
“Your arrogance pisses me off Maec. Your scent offends me.” She growled in his face as she continued to twist the gold.
“Oh? What should I smell like?” He asked and then hissed as delicious painful pleasure assaulted him.
“Me. I know you wraith. I know you want to bury your face between my thighs and drink until I scream.” She said barely touching her lips to his.
“Oh I do?” He groaned at the heady thought.
She tore his heavy linen pants and she wrapped her hand around his impressive length. Maec's eyes watched her face as she touched his piercings on his staff.
“Hai. You like to taste everything. Shall I let you taste?” Asuna asked as she stroked him.
“Are we lovers?” He groaned shutting his straining brown eyes.
“No.” She said licking at his ear.
She stroked him harder and she wanted him to make his wraith shriek. Maec was gasping in air as his eyes bled white; she sank her fangs into his throat without warning and he erupted. The Shouten king actually whimpered a little as he came hard. This female left his throat and she licked his length. She licked him all over until his essence was gone.
“Need blood.” Maec said in a needy groan.
Asuna stood up and she was acting insane but she truly was not acting like herself but then her beast was quite happy to take him. Her hold was released and she guided his mouth towards her throat. Maec snapped his fangs hard around her throat and he tasted the sweet, tangy power. He held her tightly as he drank and drank. When his lips lifted he intended to question her but she crashed her lips to his. He stumbled against her and they fell onto the ground. He was kissing her back as ardently as she was kissing him. Asuna honestly figured this was payback for his returning to her young years and it the connection was reckless. Maec opened the sheet she had wrapped around herself. He made himself pull back to look closely at her body and he was so aroused.
“Your corporeal body is lovely.” He said running fingertips along her flat belly.
“Hn.” She muttered.
Maec narrowed his eyes and he watched her reactions to his touch. She arched and moaned for him and he was intensely curious as to their status. He went to start nipping her skin and Asuna grabbed his head of dark hair and jerked his head back. He grunted and it made him hotter.
“Now! I want to feel you now.” Asuna growled.
Maec watched her face as he slid into her and he marveled at her heat and how very wet she was. Asuna groaned and snarled as she ripped open his back. She was already beginning to crash and Maec was in a spin. It did not last long and he howled out as her body gripped him too tightly. He fell against her and they both panted out. He slowly pulled out and lay down. She grabbed the sheet and he watched her.
“Who are you?” He demanded.
“No one.” Asuna stated in disgust at herself.
“You engage me and then refuse me your name?” Maec said in disbelief.
“Hai.” She said standing.
“Do you always fuck strangers?” He asked sneering.
“You are no stranger to me and I only do to you what you have done to me. Your medicine is bitter is it not?” Asuna said glowering.
“Are we enemies little girl? Is that what we are? I actually engage an enemy?” He scoffed.
“However you wish to view it. I always say what a wonderful male whore you are. Delightful to see you Maec.” She said porting away.
He actually chuckled and this female had him thoroughly intrigued. She was quite something to look at but how she engaged him made him maddened. He laughed again and he decided he needed to find this little strumpet again.
