Bringing Over

 

Blood seeped from him slowly and stained the ground around him. Asuna had felt the auras and commotion as she slipped from the barrier. She yelled when she saw Yung on the ground and his pale skin was becoming ashen.

 

“Yung!” She yelled as she fell next to him.

 

She laced her fingers in his and he barely squeezed hers as he turned his head. His eyes had gone white and he whispered incoherently.

 

“Speak a Chinese dialect or Japanese Yung. Please!” Asuna whispered in fear.

 

“Please leave me be. You need not expose yourself.” He croaked weakly.

 

“Do not play a martyr now! I will not allow you to die.” She cried out.

 

“It is what I want. I made him suffer. He is injured and it is bad for the moment. He will always be more powerful but I landed some blows.” Yung smirked with malice.

 

“You fool! You cannot do anything if you are dead.” She said in disgust.

 

“Let me go. It hurts too much.” He said turning his head.

 

“Your heart or your body? You fool! Yung Koval you are a fool!” She said choking back angry tears.

 

“I know you understand my feelings. I know you understand what a fucking coward I have been. I also know you know what my actions brought about. You are one of the loveliest women I have had the privilege of knowing but I want to die. Since I sustained these injuries fighting against that monster then I can die well.” He whispered too weakly.

 

“How many sisters did you have? Your mother is still passed on and you still live, yet you have to destroy him. If you still cannot live with yourself after we defeat Maec then I shall not stop you but by the Kamis do not stop until you have fully avenged them and dying mid-war is NOT avenging them Yung!” She screamed.

 

Asuna cut deeply into her arm and forced his mouth over the wound. She was brutal in her forcing of him and held him in place. Her other hand was in his lush copper hair and had a firm grip on it. Yung was weak but he realized she was saving him. She was making him take her blood and instinct kicked in. He let his fangs slip into her soft skin and she released a soft groan as he began to drink actively. Yung could taste the healing properties of her blood and it was the mixed nature of her current life. He reached up and held her arm as he fed. Pain and anger filled him yet again as he thought of his life. Self hatred consumed him at his waste of existence. He heard her choke loudly and his eyes were slowly changing back to their aqua color. He released her arm and stared up at her.

 

“I did not want this!” He snapped.

 

“You are angry at yourself and I suspect in a way furious with me. If you had not made the decision to do the right thing then your family would not have suffered. If you wish to further be a coward then go ahead. I will avenge the Koval clan.” She hissed at him.

 

Yung was astonished at her words and angry for them as well. He pushed himself up but he was still weak. Rage stole through him and he launched himself at her. Asuna was flattened and he was snarling under his breath.

 

“I do not want to be here! I am done! Why can you not respect that? Why cannot I just join my family?” He asked as tears fell down his face.

 

“If it was your fate then you would be already gone! You feel guilt and think that you have to lay down your life.” She said struggling.

 

“I am alone!” Yung sobbed.

 

Asuna fought his anger and his pain was being broadcast all too loudly. His salt-blood tears fell on her face his hands became buried in her hair.

 

“You have no clue what I have done to keep them safe. You have no idea what lengths I went to keep my little sisters away from Astana. I sacrificed myself on every level so that they could stay in Sofia. They still ended up dead. GODS!” He screamed out.

 

She blinked back tears as she understood what he was saying. His grip on her hair was painful and his eyes were tortured. Asuna had no idea what to do for him. She had no clue what she could do to make it better.

 

“What have you done Yung?” She asked in pained way.

 

“I gave into him. I gave into that monster. He used me every which way and I did his bidding.” Yung said shutting his eyes as he bit his own lips.

 

“Are you typical Shouten?” Asuna asked.

 

He nodded without saying a word and she digested what he had told her. She pulled him to her lips and Yung was anguished. He growled against her mouth and he phased both of their clothes away. She gasped loudly as she felt him within her. Yung felt like a bastard and felt as though he was using her yet again. He had not touched her again because of his guilt. He also knew his pain switched off when encountered with her power. He gave in because he did not want to feel the pain. His emotions were so raw and so exposed that it affected her profoundly. Yung moved with absolute slowness and pressed his forehead to hers. Her mouth was agape and Asuna was releasing shorts gasps of pleasure.

 

“I do not want to feel anything. I hate myself.” He said hoarsely.

 

His emotional overload and the way he was taking her made her dizzy beyond anything. He mouth covered hers and he deepened it with a seeking tongue. She matched him but everything was spinning for her. Yung sought her bite and she was growling suddenly. Asuna ripped her lips away first.

 

“Take me in. Make me not feel. I am a wretched bastard but please make me not feel.” Yung begged.

 

He slowly pulled out of her and she was shaking harshly as he did so. She pushed herself up and she leaned over him. His eyes were closed and she softly kissed his neck and his small gasp sent a tingle down her spine. Asuna truly wanted him to not feel his pain but she wanted him to feel. She slowly and softly began to kiss down his throat to his chest and Yung was surprised but he felt her tongue on his flat, pierced nipple. She began to do things with that tongue and her teeth and he moaned for her. He took a shuddering breath as she moved her mouth and she slowly got more aggressive. She yanked harder on the gold and he yelped in the pure pleasure of it. A hand skimmed his belly and wrapped around his beautiful member. He felt her thumb brush and tease the bit of skin underneath the glans and he cried out in a long passionate sigh. Asuna opened her eyes and met his. She continued to torture his male nub as her thumb brushed along the head of his staff and spread the clear fluid beginning to collect.

 

“Tell me where to bite.” Asuna prompted.

 

“I do not care.” He said in a breathless way.

 

“Yung! Tell me.” She said in a growl.

 

“I do not want to think. I do not want to feel. I give you control over me.” He said narrowing his eyes.

 

She made a frustrated noise and she really wanted to just stop. He truly seemed on a self destruct course and she would care too much for him. She would love him too much and she would loose him.

 

“Finish this! I beg you.” Yung demanded.

 

“I am not in a habit of giving myself pain. You continue to self hate and my need to stop you will cause too much heart ache. I hate him and I know you do too. I may have this irrational attraction to him but I truly hate him. I hate him so much that he turns my stomach and makes me ill. When I saw you when he sent you to spy on me; I have never seen such a Shouten. You have more honor and goodness then any wraith I have seen and I consider Shan Lao to be an excellent man. I tell you that I will end up loving you and you will continue to wish for death and I cannot be party to that. I may be Japanese but suicide is not an end for me. I tried it once but I was told what an idiot I was.” Asuna murmured only looking at him.

 

“If you cannot allow me to face myself and my own wretchedness then please help me!” He asked in a painful tone.

 

“Help you what Yung?” She asked with tears brimming her eyes.

 

Yung sat up quickly and gathered her in his arms. It happened so fast and he buried himself deeply within her. Her full mouth was again in an “o” shape and he held onto her tightly. He snapped his hips up and she cried out with each thrust.

 

“Do you know why I finally did the right thing?” He asked in a completely breathless voice.

 

“No.” She practically screamed.

 

“I saw him. I saw the boy and I knew what I never had.” He choked out.

 

His arms kept her to him tightly and the pressure was ungodly and the pleasure was immense. He quit speaking as he continued the harsh pace and her skin became slick. Yung began to have images of what he should do and how he should do this act. He took one of her hands in his and surged his yoki through her and she began to shake under his power.

 

“Take us inside?” He whispered.

 

She stared at him with feverish eyes and she ported them within the barrier. She had taken them to the castle on the shore and the futon was lavish. He leaned her back and began to move again. Her face was contorted and he sought to make it more so. She was gasping and whimpering as their bodies met but he purposely kept them both at bay. He was an older wraith and he could do much. His mind was going and churning a little as he slipped out of her body and she yelled in frustration.

 

“Yung!” She snarled at him.

 

“It will be worth this. I do not make you suffer for naught.” He said stroking her thigh.

 

“I need you. Kamis shit!” She hissed in need.

 

“Will you come for me a little? I want to drink of you slowly like I did that night.” Yung whispered.

 

She let her thighs open fully and he saw her completely open to him. He pressed his thumb to her clit and began to rub her softly and she moaned harder for him. He slipped an index finger into her so he could get the response he wanted. Asuna whimpered and arched her body to the sweet torture as he watched her closely. He pulled back his hand and replaced it with his mouth. He suckled and used his tongue as she began to cry out hard. Yung wrapped his lips around her nub and slipped his fangs in. He took in the drugging blood as she climaxed hard. His tongue never left her nub and it prolonged her pleasure and his drinking. She screamed out and his other hand held her hip steady. Finally he released her womanhood and she was crying in relief and the incredible joy and pleasure. Yung did not wait and slipped back within while she still felt spasms. She realized he knew exactly what he was doing and he was throwing her into prolonged ecstasy. The feel of her core gripping him the way it was made him see white and it felt so incredibly perfect. He found himself enjoying her active participation and her cries made him needier. Asuna did not realize he was drinking from her for a moment and she screamed out again. Her hands gripped his toned backside and his mind could only give her impressions and he wanted her bite. He was holding out for it and she waited for him to lift his mouth. She jerked his jaw to the side and sank her fangs in and made sure to amplify her own endless climax and Yung seemed to cry out from his very soul. Asuna was not aware anymore and she just blacked out. His head hung limply as his corporeal form emptied and he shook harshly. He bit his own tongue and he held her jaw as he kissed her. She came awake slowly and they both made such primitive groans as she fully came to.

 

“Relax.” He whispered.

 

“What?” Asuna asked confused.

 

“I am doing what I have refused to do for a long while. Take a very deep breath.” Yung whispered.

 

“Yung, what?” She asked nervous.

 

“I want to be with you in our natural forms. I can sustain us both. Will you allow this?” He asked.

 

Last time she had done such a thing with a wraith of such an age; Kazaki had happened. She nodded and she could not deny him anything. He was able to take her into completely ether form and the beauty she had felt with Kaimei was like Yung. She realized it was not a Shouten or Tomoshibi thing; it was the power of the wraith and Asuna was flooded in it. Reality was bent and nothing was concrete. She honestly lost all sense of everything and she only felt peace and rapture. Awareness was lost and when she came to again; she was corporeal. Yung was beside her and he was sleeping. She moved a little and his eyes opened.

 

“Do you need blood?” He asked.

 

“I think hai.” She said blinking.

 

He gave her his wrist this time and she drank from him. He shut his eyes and it was so good. It was full night and they had been in their ether forms for several hours. The closeness he had shared with her was beautiful and the shared bliss had been overwhelming to his sadness. He had forgotten how wonderful lovemaking was in the natural way. She released his arm and she lay back.

 

“It is night?” She asked stunned.

 

“Yes. I am sorry. I have not felt trustful enough with anyone in a long time to share such a thing. It is intoxicating to me after so long.” Yung said looking up.

 

“Did my soul leave?” Asuna asked looking at her hands.

 

“All of you. You will be able to do so at some point I believe. I have the age to pull all of you into your ether self. Thank you for the beauty and bliss. It is wrong to use someone to be able to stare at myself in a mirror. I do believe you should have just left me.” He whispered as he slipped from the futon.

 

“Do not start that now after what just happened!” She growled.

 

“I am a stain and tainted like that sorry devil is but I will be better in that I will not prevent my own demise.” He said staring at the night.

 

“I know why you did what you did but Yung damnit!” She said rising.

 

“Please Lady Asuna. I only sleep when I am next to you. The nightmares are not as severe but I am also not selfish. I shall take my leave of you now. If you find me bleeding to death again; please do not stop it.” He asked softly.

 

He phased out and she was left to stand there and feel utter loneliness and pain in his wake. She needed to feel someone else as his void was that painful. She ported to the castle within palace grounds and she sought out Hideaki. She went into his arms and began sobbing brokenly.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maec had been witness to what had started between Yung and Asuna; he had originally wanted to use his longtime slave as a tool, this made him see fury. There was something brewing and it made him seethe with utter jealousy and he could not stand it. Yung had been his protégé and his toy and now the bastard thought he could just fight back and then touch what belonged to his master. He suffered physically because Yung had been taught too well. He needed sleep and he would figure a way to make the Koval clan suffer more.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yung felt a need to see the Lei Jing. He had touched another and he would man up so to speak. He entered the new in between and it felt fresh. Yung took a deep breath and it was refreshing. He found Lei directing other Jing clan members into helping build a temporary shelter.

 

“It looks very well young Jing. I am impressed.” He said looking around.

 

“Thank you sir. I am pleased you think so.” Lei said bowing his head.

 

“May we speak?” The Koval prince asked.

 

“As you wish.” He nodded.

 

They began to walk and he looked over at the elder Shouten. He could feel utter sadness from him and he knew a little of what had happened. Maec had effectively turned the Koval clan into a repeat of the Jings.

 

“Yes. That would be an accurate assessment. I am here to do the right thing and ask your forgiveness. I allowed my grief and my pain to get the better of me. Your wife has given me strength and lent me hers. I am wishing for death and her anger is holding me together.” Yung admitted.

 

“Speak plainly.” Lei said captivated.

 

“I foolishly allowed myself to touch what is yours young Jing. You and Yhea have claimed her in marriage in our ways and it is wrong for me to tread upon such.” He said barely able to look at Shan Lao's son.

 

“Maec destroyed your family. I think anything you do can be forgiven. My wife and I do not have a traditional Shouten marriage but after seeing what Maec has done what is traditional? We work. I mated an uppyr and with that comes new and intriguing possibilities.” He shrugged.

 

“I still owe you all much and ask for your mercy.” He said feeling worse.

 

“I never knew the Koval. I know why now. It was just a few of you and you did what my own father tried to do for me. You and the select few made yourselves sheep to keep the rest of the clan safe. He is a sick and unnatural bastard. I know what he is now and I know how he destroys. I have seen first hand what sickness he uses to control and screw with the mind. His real power lies not in what he can do to you per say but what he does to your mind sir. I can only imagine what you did to protect your family. I also know that he wants what he should not have. He murdered her when she was a baby and now says, oops! I made a mistake. He thinks now he has a right to her. He killed your family Prince Koval but you can strike back. I have no ill feelings.” He shrugged.

 

“You are honorable young Jing. You are a credit to your great father.” He said bowing.

 

“I have issues to deal with but I will speak with Asuna tonight. Will you please sit and just talk with us?” He asked.

 

“I should like that I think.” Yung nodded.

 

Lei smiled and he watched the older man walk away. He about choked on his pain and he knew he used to feel the same. He phased to his wife and she was agitated and pacing.

 

“Hi love.” He smiled.

 

“Lei!” She cried out in relief.

 

“I got a visit from Yung Koval and I do believe the poor man would start flogging himself.” He said looking at his claws and frowning.

 

“Oh dear Kamis. You look fine.” Asuna growled.

 

“Oh I know I do. I hate having nasty claws.” He smirked at her.

 

“I only meant to comfort him and stop him from committing suicide.” She remarked.

 

“Well here is the thing; I think you should engage him. I think you should and often. Several reasons and the first and foremost is that he is an older Shouten and he knows these old ways. Two he is supremely handsome and three is that he is powerful. Father says he is utterly powerful but he has been mentally tortured by Maec these many years. I think you should bind him and do it quickly.” He said sitting back.

 

“You are suggesting that I bind myself to yet another Shouten?” She asked in shock.

 

“Yes. I say it because he is teetering and he could be lost. Asuna, this is selfish of me but he is strong and damnit, I want to live. It would be a waste to have such power and knowledge wasted because his depression though justified is so deep.” He said flatly.

 

“Only if you are here.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“Why?” He asked surprised.

 

“Because you question my devotion too much.” Asuna growled

 

“Well I am telling you to do it. I told him to come tonight. I said just to talk but why not use your delightful ways of persuasion and make him do our will?” He smiled up at her.

 

“You were not complaining too much!” She snapped.

 

“Well I was so freakishly hard and almost getting blue balls but hey.” Lei grinned.

 

He pulled her down into his lap and he tickled her. She began shrieking in laughter and he continued till they made love. Poor Hideaki walked in and Lei gladly dragged him in on the act as well.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yung found Asuna reading scrolls and she looked up when he phased in. He looked around and he frowned.

 

“Lei is hunting. He said he would return.” She replied.

 

“You are angry.” Yung said without emotion.

 

“Not at all. Why should I be? Lei and I have worked past our issues.” Asuna shrugged.

 

“I think it well of you both.” He nodded.

 

Lei had stated he would return and she stood up slowly. Her Jing mate was right for all his reasons but Asuna wished to keep him bound because he would not allow himself death if it meant harm to another. She found him wonderful and honorable and would hate to have him die because of Maec. She truly would not be able to forgive herself. She was being underhanded just like she had with Hanaj but it was for the best she thought. Asuna said nothing and she walked near him and her fingers brushed his arm. He kept his eyes averted but she could feel his tense nature.

 

“Yung please have some wine. Lei will return very shortly. He is really a very efficient hunter.” She said softly.

 

“Your husband is renowned for such a young man. I realize he is older then you on this plane but he is still terribly young on ours. He is remarkable in his intelligence and his boldness is admirable.” Yung said as he took the offered wine.

 

“You say that because you think you should have fought harder.” She replied pouring herself some wine and mixing it with mostly water.

 

She drank her liquid and watched him. His eyes clouded in emotion and he looked away. He did not realize she was behind him until he felt her hands on his belly. His gasp of surprise was deep and he tried to look back. Asuna was undoing his black linen brocade pants and Yung felt like he had been trapped.

 

“What is this?” He asked and his eyes shut as her hand wrapped around him.

 

“I am captivated in the memory of you.” She said huskily.

 

“Oh!” Yung said in a soft whisper as her fingers slowly began working his flesh.

 

His breathing was deep and he just seemed lost in the feeling and she continued to move her fingers along his cock as she came round him. His aqua eyes opened a little and he sucked in his breath. Asuna was captivated by his eyes as she licked and teased him. Yung knew pleasures and this was something he had not had done to him in a long while. The look on her face held him prisoner and she wrapped her lips around him. He did not need to be encouraged to move and he did. A moan did escape his throat as she worked along his length.

 

“Th-this not necessary.” He said reveling in the feel.

 

Asuna pulled back long enough to just leave soft kisses on his shaft and he was certain he was going to fall to his knees. This tenderness was not normal to him and he brushed his knuckles against her cheek.

 

“Yung. I want you to feel but only to feel good.” She said still kissing along his member and then his stones.

 

“I, this…” He said speechless.

 

He felt hands on his shoulders and he looked back to Lei Jing. A shudder went down his spine at the nearness. Lei's eyes were smoldering as he watched his wife.

 

“Jing?” Yung said in a haze.

 

“Yes? I am not here to interfere, only to reassure you that I approve this. Let her take you Koval. Feel it and rejoice.” The young Jing said in his ear.

 

Lei stepped back and he settled himself on an overstuffed chaise and he was suppressing his own urges. Asuna stood up and pulled Yung toward the futon and he fell onto his back and she again began to use her mouth. His breathing was not enough and he began to rasp hard as she brought him very close to the edge and he was now dizzy.

 

“You are being so soft and sweet my luscious wife. Where is my wild woman?” Lei asked in a lusty voice.

 

“It is perfection.” The Koval prince whispered.

 

“Is it? Tell me Prince Koval; tell me if you can, what it is you need.” He said licking his own lips.

 

“Peace. I need peace in my soul.” Yung stated as he watched her step back and she disrobed.

 

Lei got a good view of her back and backside and he growled. She looked over at him and her eyes swam in passion.

 

“That is what we shall give you.” Asuna said.

 

Yung wanted and needed more as she lay against him. He kissed her so slowly and with such deep fervor that it was heady. Lei was squirming in his spot and he was itching to touch or stroke something. He did not know why the sight of his wife like this made him so bothered but it made him maddened. Yung pulled her thigh up so he could have access to her core and he pulled her hips forward. Both of them cried out and he was impassioned. He was not of a mind to have anything other then slow, sensual coupling. Asuna was bringing him over and making it combust when she pulled him into ether form. Yung was in awe and he felt what she was doing. His mind was not comprehending fully but bliss and ardor filled him. He became aware of something else and he was stunned. He was sandwiched between two consciousnesses and he yelled out. Slowly, very slowly he became aware that he was between Asuna and Lei.

 

“Blood.” He croaked.

 

He was given flesh and he bit in. Yung felt such a different feeling and it was sensual and comforting at the same time. His aqua eyes came into focus and he realized Asuna had given him her breast. Her moans were soft and he released his fangs but not her nipple. She groaned wildly as he suckled her. Lei was impatient and quite hot and bothered.

 

“Do not stop that Yung. Make her moan louder.” Jing commanded.

 

He literally could feel how anxious and aroused the younger man was and the woman above him was gasping suddenly. He heard Lei moan too and he knew the Jing wraith had joined his wife. It seemed strange to partake of this but he was not entirely surprised. He watched the empusae canine female shatter powerfully and he finally released her tit. He watched her face totally crumple and he could feel everything. Yung arched against her and his face registered shock.

 

“What have we done?” He whispered as his body shook.

 

Lei collapsed and his breath was out. He could see his eyes white and the younger man was drenched in sweat. Asuna laid her ear against Yung's chest and with suddenness Lei was over them both.

 

“Allow me.” He whispered heavily.

 

“Okay.” The Koval prince said.

 

Lei sank his fangs into his neck and it was awesome. He was trembling as he allowed him to take in his blood. Lei finally fell back and the three of them were in a heap.

 

“Please answer me, what did we do?” He asked in a heavy voice.

 

“We bound you to us.” Asuna said lacing fingers in hers.

 

“Bound? You bound us?” Yung asked suddenly angry.

 

“Hai.” She murmured without too much variance in emotion.

 

“You manipulated me.” He said upset.

 

“We both did. We both understand why you feel the way you do but we value you too much Yung.” Lei yawned.

 

“Should it not be my choice?” He asked in anger.

 

“Give it a whirl and then see how it feels. I have not had it wrenched from me but Yhea has; he said he would rather be castrated.” The young man said yawning more.

 

Yung extracted himself and phased his clothes on. He was downright furious and he stared at two very arrogant brats in his opinion. Asuna blinked at him and he phased out.

 

“Oh he is mad.” She said lying against Lei.

 

“Go to him in a little while, in the mean time.” He smirked widely.

 

She was immersed in him and sighed as she felt Yung's fury at their bold move.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He was shell shocked and he had been waylaid by the two beautiful blood drinkers. His heart and his past did not matter to them; his shame was irrelevant and they had made it impossible for him to detach himself. Yung felt as if he was being forced to stay in this life he did not want. He felt her and he turned to confront her. Her silver hair was down and she wore a hanfu of startling beauty. The inner portion was bright peacock blue and the lower robes were pure white and somewhat sheer. The outer rob was white with flowing sleeves and it flared into a burst of pink and blue peonies. The wide obi fitted under the bright colored inner bodice and accentuated her form. He could see her bare feet and his mouth was dry.

 

“Yung?” She asked.

 

“You are lovely.” He said unable to say anything else.

 

“Thank you. I hoped we could talk.” Asuna murmured as she neared him.

 

“You had no right.” Yung said clenching his teeth.

 

“Perhaps not and hai it was highhanded but I will not allow you to walk off into the abyss; not when I can be of service and help you.” She said flatly.

 

“It should have been my choice Asuna. It should be my decision.” He said with shaking hands.

 

“Not when I found you in a pool of blood begging to die. NO! When you are so blinded by suffering and pain then it is not your decision anymore.” She said fiercely.

 

“Who are you to decide that?” He demanded in a soft hiss.

 

“The onna you helped escape and gave up so much for. I owe you something and I will deliver justice for you and your family whether you wish for me to or not.” She murmured curtly.

 

“It was my sacrifice to make! You should have let me go. You have tied me into something…” He tried to rant when their lips collided.

 

His hands clenched and fisted the expensive silk of her dress and then gripped her shoulders. He crushed her to him and it hit her how much this man felt. It hit her how much was bottled inside of him and only a small bit was unleashed. He made a wounded noise and jerked away from her.

 

“Leave me alone. I am so angry at you both.” He yelled as he phased away.

 

Asuna was left to stand there as she felt his emotions. He was not shielding or she suspected he did not understand he could. She clutched her chest and she suppressed her deep sighs. She decided that she needed to check on things in the Dragon Kingdom and she slipped outside of the barrier. Asuna was grabbed forcefully and flung with some force and she yelped as she hit a tree. Maec glowered at her and he was staring in hatred at her.

 

“You filthy whore!” He said in a horrendous snarl.

 

“You call me filthy? What has you ku in a twist demented bastard?” Asuna asked wiping her mouth.

 

Maec was in front of her in the blink of an eye and he slapped her. She snarled lashed out with claws and he did the unthinkable; he jerked her arm in such a way that broke it in half and she screamed in agony.

 

“Not him! Not Yung. You dare to bind him to you and then deign to give him what you were supposed to give me?” He screamed with madness.

 

“Fuck you!” She screamed back.

 

She threw her good arm with force and the resulting nami was huge in proportions and she was drained of yoki as it slammed into Maec with winds in excess of hurricane forces. Yung appeared suddenly and so did Lei. Asuna fell to her side and she cried out as both Lei and Yung had felt the bone snap. Their own arms had been cracked. The Koval prince stumbled forward and he felt his old master and Maec was covered in huge amounts of blood. His eyes were silver and he stared up at Yung.

 

“I will kill you! How dare you take what is mine! You take my son and then the woman that I choose. You were mine as well Yung. How dare you fool. You have signed your own death sentence.” Maec said with blood dripping from his eyes and nose.

 

“You killed my family Maec. You killed my baby sisters and my mother. How could I not protect that innocent boy from the monster you are? That woman is innocent as well.” Yung said crossing his arms and then flaring them out.

 

Yung was talented with phasing materials from metal and his hands were encased in metal clawed gauntlets. He had seen the Koval use it often enough.

 

“I will tear your child from that womb and I will sacrifice it to our gods in the circle! I will rip the bond wide open so you bleed to death within!” The Shouten king said staggering up.

 

Yung stumbled back and shook his head. He did not believe Maec but the tr'Awnhi was beyond furious and way into insane. He felt as though he had been hit in the stomach and he whirled suddenly. Maec was not at full health and they were fighting hand to hand. Yung's metal claws were ripping him up and he was using his hiebie in strategic places. Maec punched and used the yoki as projectiles to hit the copper headed Shouten in his side and shoulder. Yung used an incantation to try and shield his bounded from the damage he was receiving and Maec went ballistic. He phased out and Yung looked around wildly. It happened so fast and Asuna was still recovering. The wraith ruler pulled a knife and sliced across Lei's throat and then plunged it into the inu princess's chest. Yung took the blows but not bad but Asuna used her still good hand and she did one thing she had not done. She channeled Yhea and Ishin. She used her telekinesis and nami together and Maec was thrown again but the nami pushed the speed and he was impaled on a tree limb. Asuna crawled over to Lei and used her Dakkasou quickly to seal the wound but the wound in her chest was soaking the expensive silk. Yung made it to their sides and it happened in a matter of seconds. He phased them within the barrier and she was trembling.

 

“Damnit!” He cried clutching his own chest.

 

Yung fell to his knees and Lei was nearby. He mentally broadcast loudly and he collapsed next to Asuna.

 

“He missed my heart.” She rasped out as it was hard to breathe.

 

“He collapsed your lung.” Yung rasped as well.

 

“Hai.” She said closing her eyes.

 

Asuna concentrated hard and she brushed Nobu's mind barely. She knew that Ishin may have collapsed but she had needed his strength. Naraku was still in a hibernative state and therefore unreachable. Yhea phased in and he looked stricken. He phased quickly to Asuna's thoughts and Nobu was looking after Ishin. The kumo healer looked up and he suddenly grabbed his medicines. Yhea phased them back and he too fell to his butt. Nobu went to work on the three wraiths and Asuna. It took some time but he was able to reinflate lungs and seal up the wounds. Nobu was checking out his mate very carefully and he gave her another dose of the anti-shoki. Yung had sustained the least injury and he was determined to teach the Jing brothers the incantation to help thwart damage to the bond. It was not a guarantee but it helped. He scrambled over to Asuna and he stared down at her.

 

“Maec said something. Is it true?” He said fiercely.

 

“I have no idea what you mean.” Asuna said sleepily.

 

Yung tried in vain to feel Shouten but he felt nothing. He was certain Maec was lying and he left it that.

 

“The brothers are asleep and I shall take them to the in between. We need to move and soon. He has gone mad. There is insanity in his actions and when he acts like this then he will do terrible things.” Yung stated.

 

“You mean he has moments of clarity?” She asked in sarcasm.

 

“Correct. He is loosing it right now. When he killed Nia and Caridad; those were moments of intense madness. I saw him in very private moments and he sobbed over them. He wept mostly for Nia.” He said softly.

 

“I need to meet this onna who made him as nuts as I apparently do. Did he force you as his lover?” She demanded.

 

He said nothing and she did not ask further. Lei and Yhea woke up and the younger brother slapped the older. Lei snarled in anger and in turned knocked the other off the futon.

 

“You asshole! What the hell were you thinking? You! Asuna, you are not supposed to be outside of this barrier!” Yhea snarled.

 

“I am sorry.” She growled.

 

“Lei!” His brother growled in utter fury.

 

“Go do something Yhea, you are pissing me off.” His older brother growled back.

 

“Really? You think I am pissing you off now! You idiot!” Lei yelled as he reared back to hit his brother.

 

Yung caught his fist and shook his head no. He was calm but he was anything but. Lei could feel it and he cast him a calm look. Yung met his eyes and there was deep feeling there and this younger man understood what he felt. They had made him suffer; he knew some of it but the extent he did not until now. It hit Yung that he had bound himself to him as well. Yung realized he had them both. Lei and Asuna had both given him their lives and trust; they had given their souls to him and he was stunned at the implications. He looked at Lei then at their shared woman and his heart sped up.

 

“What Yung?” Lei asked.

 

“Confused.” He said frowning.

 

“We did manipulate you. I am sorry. I told her we should do it. I suspect we are more alike then you would admit openly. I suspect we have similar tendencies and desires; one being her and other things.” He said flatly.

 

“Yes.” He nodded.

 

“I need to pound on my brother right now but I will see you later.” The Jing heir said smiling.

 

Yung only stared and he watched the much younger man go at Yhea. It was obvious the two brothers cared for each other now but they argued and yelled at the other. Asuna was much better and now asleep. Yung decided to phase her to the other castle on the shore and he stared down at her whilst she slumbered.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke up and Yung was asleep next to her. She felt much better and he woke up slowly when he felt her eyes on him. He sat up and he wore only his silk pants. She started to say something but he leaned forward and caught her mouth. She was surprised but she kissed him back as he leaned her into the futon. Yung was on emotional overload and his lips were not still. His hands were not still either as he removed her shift by phasing it off. She felt his hands cup her breasts and she moaned as he worked his mouth to her tips.

 

“Yung?” She gasped.

 

“I feel overwhelmed and smothered in need.” Yung answered in a low growl.

 

“I have no wish for you to feel that way.” Asuna squirmed under him.

 

“Much better then the void.” He said nipping along her fleshy mound.

 

“Oh Kamis!” She whined out.

 

He was full of passion and his feelings were immersed. Yung felt other then pain and he was filled with crazed ardor.

 

“You wanted to do this. I much prefer this manipulation.” He said in such a husky and sexy voice.

 

She was shocked at the change in the man and the lovemaking was different. It was still slow and sensual but it was more intense. It was more powerful and he left her quaking and her limbs shook with spasms. Yung wanted Lei to feel as well and he was working over their shared woman. She passed out again and Lei did appear and he was flushed badly. He stared at the older Shouten and his eyes held something.

 

“What are you doing?” Lei asked in a gasp.

 

“Exploiting the bond. It is beautiful thing our kind can do. I will teach you how to deflect damage to protect us but I will teach you how to manipulate it as well. You only have a whisper of it.” Yung stated.

 

Lei's eyes widened and he gasped out as Yung touched his own body and Lei felt it as if it was him.

 

“I can make you feel as though you are within our woman and you can be in Hueco Mundo.” He whispered.

 

“Teach me.” The younger man cried out.

 

“This will be intense. Lay down.” He commanded.

 

Lei fell next to Asuna who woke up and Yung gently rolled her to lie on her stomach. He slipped within her again and she cried out as he moved sharply but barely moved his body at all. Her Jing husband was groaning and arching next to them and she was astounded.

 

“Fully open your mind Asuna. Fully open your soul to him.” Yung commanded.

 

She did as he commanded and Lei was gasping quickly at it overwhelmed him. Yung again moved but grabbed Lei's hand and the younger man was lost in his own pleasure. The black haired young male cried out in a long whimper that made Asuna watch raptly. Yung was controlling it all and he physically erupted and his mind was flooded with a glorious raptures. Asuna became caught up in the tsunami like effect and she screamed out and Yung groaned as he felt it as well.

 

“I want to see Hanaj tr'Awnhi.” Yung whispered.

 

“Why?” She said looking back.

 

“It is high time I pay back Maec.” He said with a grin.

 

Lei was still trying to breathe straight and his eyes were white. Yung moved to him and he whispered in his ear and the younger man turned bright red as he fed him. Asuna could only assume that they awakened something in Yung and they were seeing the “real” him.

 

Yung slipped from the futon and he phased out to find a hot spring. She moved to her husband and he stared at her.

 

“What did he say?” She asked softly.

 

“He said he will meet my brazenness. He said I should not find myself alone.” He stated staring at her.

 

“Yung threatened you?” Asuna asked stunned.

 

“No. We made him apart of us Asuna. He is telling me that he will take me and claim me.” Lei gulped.

 

“Oh.” She said with wide eyes.

 

Lei could feel the powerful mind and he was astonished. He was anxious to see if Yung could pull Hanaj out of the death sleep and it would be worth this he decided.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was with Yung in Hanaj's room that he slept in. His beautiful face was unmarred and there was nothing as he was laid out. Khellian visited often and she stifled her emotions as Hanaj had missed more then a year of his son's life. Yung looked over the youngest son Nia and pressed a palm to his cheek.

 

“The bastard.” He said shaking in rage.

 

“What did he do?” Asuna asked.

 

“This manner of death sleep is typically never come back from. It is meant as a death in a way. He is not dead in reality but might as well be. He can tell himself he did not kill his child but he need not worry on his wrath. Leave me with Hanaj.” Yung stated.

 

She nodded and she kissed Hanaj's cheek. She slipped away and Yung stared at the younger tr'Awnhi. He remembered his birth and the death of Nia. Rage filled him and he took a deep breath. He phased into his true form and entered the corporeal form of the prince. He was buried deep and Yung had to reach so deep that it was surprising that his soul was still here. It spoke of his strength and worked on awakening him.

 

Asuna was in the doorway and it was hours that she stood there. Hanaj did not move and Khellian came by. He took her hand and she smiled down at him.

 

“I no think he wake up. I think that person kill him.” He said in anger.

 

“My son. You father is there but so very deeply asleep. We have a friend who is as old as Maec and he is trying to wake him up.” She said kneeling.

 

“I tell Papa goodbye. I cry a lot.” Khellian said lifting his chin.

 

Somehow he had grown up too fast and she hugged him tightly. Tears spilled from her eyes and he hugged his mother back.

 

“Lei love me. Lei take good care of me.” He said crying.

 

“Of course he does.” She wept.

 

“I am okay. When I grow up I want to be warrior. I want to fight them too.” Khellian said getting mad.

 

He stepped back and he walked away slowly to go play with his siblings. She wiped away the tears and she grew angry. She stood up and she knew how the fog of a death sleep could be. She neared Hanaj and stared down at him.

 

“You have to wake up. I know so much more now. We need you! Khellian needs you!” She whispered fiercely.

 

Yung phased in not long after and he looked exhausted. He sat back in a chair and watched.

 

“His soul is there but it is dormant. I jolted it several times so we shall see.” He said standing.

 

He looked down and he watched him.

 

“We need you Prince Hanaj. You have Takeo that you need to raise. You need to raise him as yours. His needs you to be his father and show him how to be a good man.” Yung whispered.

 

Nothing happened and he slowly straightened. He walked to the door and Asuna lingered. She finally followed Yung and left Hanaj to his seemingly endless slumber.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

He struggled and it was as painful as he made his way towards consciousness. Hanaj opened his eyes and the pain was severe. He cried out and he startled a Jing clan member.

 

“Help me.” He begged.

 

“Good Gods! Prince Hanaj!” She yelled out.

 

His legs hurt and his chest hurt as well. The Jing woman ran to the door and yelled for the healer. Hanaj was shaking as he realized his body had still not fully healed from his father's attack. The next thing he felt was a warm hand on his forehead and then he saw Asuna. She had brought Nobu and he was giving him widow venom and then other medicines to keep him corporeal now that he was awake. She had felt his consciousness flare and then she had ported to Nobu. The next thing he next his mouth was against her throat and fierce love and pleasure coursed through him. He was in a haze and he saw his son. A few blood tears leaked from his eyes and he fell into a fitful sleep. He woke up next to see Yung Koval; whom he had not seen in person for a long time. His eyes were filled with compassion and he took his hand. He passed back out and he woke up to feel Asuna next to him.

 

“How long?” He asked weakly.

 

“Well over a year.” She said.

 

“What?” He asked stunned.

 

“Hanaj, you were so deep that even I could not reach you. I tried but it was as if you were dead. Maec and I fought and he said he would have you this way and he could breathe easy.” Asuna murmured.

 

“Takeo? Who is Takeo?” Hanaj asked.

 

“Your father went to me when I was young and he…” She tried to explain.

 

“And he manipulated you and that son of a whore! I cannot walk but have him brought to me now please.” He asked.

 

She pathed to Lei and within minutes her Jing husband brought in Takeo tr'Awnhi. Hanaj's silver eyes perused him and his heart hammered. He was able to hold him and the infant was awake and looking around.

 

“Lei did you adopt him?” Hanaj asked.

 

“Yes. I think you should too. I think you should be his papa. You and he have the closet blood and you two look so much alike.” He said smiling.

 

Takeo's hair was silver like Khellian and Hanaj nodded. He looked over at her and she went to kiss his cheek. His met her mouth with his and it was anything but innocent. Asuna made a whimpering sound and Takeo made a gurgle. Hanaj pulled back and chuckled.

 

“Ask for Shan Lao to come. I will bind him to me in blood. Did you do that Lei?” He asked.

 

“No. I wanted you to do that.” Lei stated softly.

 

“Thank you.” He said unable to look away from his soon to be blood son.

 

Shan Lao arrived shortly thereafter and they went about binding Takeo to Hanaj. He intended for the boy to never know that he was not in fact his sire. It startled him how much Khellian and Takeo looked alike. Anger of such intensity flowed through him that he was sick with it. His sons slept beside each other in a bed in a room next to him and Nobu gave Hanaj a liberal dose of widow. He bowed to all and he ported out. His silver eyes were clouded and he remembered what the drug did but he was very good about controlling himself.

 

“Are you in any pain?” Asuna asked gently.

 

“Not anymore. Thank you.” He said rolling his head.

 

“No problem. We did not give up on you but we just did not know how to help you.” She said brushing his black hair away from his face.

 

She really looked at him and he did favor Maec but she could see differences. His nose was different and his cheeks were more sculpted.

 

“I think your mother must have been a very beautiful woman.” She murmured.

 

“She was pretty.” He said absent mindedly.

 

“No, I mean your real mother.” Asuna stated as she sat up.

 

“My real mother? My mother was Maec's second wife.” He said confused.

 

“No Hanaj. There is much about your own father that you did not know. You and Nveid share the same mother but it was not your father's second wife. It was Nia Besud.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

He looked confused and then his eyes widened.

 

“What? That cannot be. Nalah looks just like me and she is from his wife! I remember her being born.” He said shaking his head.

 

“I know not Hanaj. Did Maec favor Nalah?” She asked.

 

“Yes.” He nodded.

 

“Better then even Thei or Sindari?” Asuna asked.

 

“I guess maybe or perhaps not. Good gods!” Hanaj said stunned.

 

“Do you know about Nia?” She inquired.

 

“Yes.” He breathed heavily.

 

“What do you know?” She asked softly.

 

“She was said to be very beautiful and very willful. The rumors were that she defied my father and led a resistance against him.” He said staring at her.

 

“He became infatuated with her and he seduced her. She became pregnant with Nveid and he took him. He allowed her to see him but not to keep him. She grew wrathful from what I understand. Well they apparently had a major falling out and she tried to take back her son. Your father lost it and he stopped her. Maec went personally and you happened. How that was I do not know but she hid your pregnancy. She almost made it but he found out and he told me himself that he ripped you from her womb. He apparently kept her somewhere for the last portion of her pregnancy and he bonded with you he stated. She tried to stop him yet again and he let her bleed to death.” Asuna explained in a very quiet voice.

 

Hanaj could not believe his ears and he stared at her. He and Nveid had been at odds at times but his brother had always been under the direct influence of his father.

 

“He murdered my mother?” He asked shook up.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“What else do I not know?” Hanaj asked.

 

“He had other children. I know of Arturo Plateado. That is odd to me but it seems Sanra killed Caridad. I think he may have had one or two more but the point is that those children he is overly fond of are the children of his love affairs.” She murmured.

 

“Thei and Sindari are from his first wife. There is no doubt of that. Those bitches were his favorite girls because they were mean hearted little whores. Nveid and I are from Nia Besud it seems. Raganos is from his first wife as well as Mas. Anjul is from what I thought was my mother.” He said shaken.

 

“Anjul is dead.” She growled.

 

“He was a rat.” He said feeling too much.

 

“Hanaj? I am sorry. We tried my darling. We really tried.” Asuna whispered as she ran fingers through his hair.

 

“May I see you?” He asked gently.

 

She stood up and slowly took off her hanfu and his eyes watched her. He was going to strike back against the murdering bastard that fathered him. When she was nude before him; he held out his hand. He could move his arms well enough but just not his legs. Asuna undressed him slowly and his silver eyes were locked on hers as she undid his linen. Hanaj was aware of circumstances and he knew he could exploit things. She was loving and he heard himself moan as she got his staff harder.

 

“Take me.” He whispered feverishly.

 

She nodded as she slid down him. He refused to look away from her eyes and it was glorious. He grabbed the back of her neck and kept focused on her.

 

“I am going to do something. I want you to trust me. He is half bound with you and I am going to reach him through you.” He said clenching his teeth.

 

“What? Why? I do not want him to know you are awake.” Asuna groaned.

 

“Yes. I want him to know I am awake and I want him to know that I know it all. Fall into a trance beloved please. Trust in me.” He said pressing his forehead to hers.

 

“Okay.” She whimpered.

 

She allowed herself to just feel and she let Hanaj take over her conscience. He could feel the tiny pull and he could see in his mind's eyes his father asleep.

 

-I am awake Father. You should have killed me. - He pathed deeply.

 

Maec bolted upright and he looked around. He could swear he heard Hanaj and he held his head.

 

-Yes you sorry bastard! You hear me. I am awake now and I will be in part the instrument in your death. You killed my real mother? - Hanaj roared in his mind.

 

-How in the hell? - Maec roared right back.

 

-You did teach me some things Father. The little boy is mine. I claimed him this night and he will never know your voice or face. You will never touch my woman again! - His son pathed with tremendous hate.

 

-You think you can defy me? I made you boy! You are my son! You are part of me. - The Shouten king hissed.

 

-Not anymore. Yung Koval will teach me and we will destroy you. Isha Sahen lives on but she belongs to this tr'Awnhi as does the next king. - He pathed and then suddenly it stopped.

 

Maec roared out in fury and he let loose his anger on his own furnishings.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hanaj was up and walking but it hurt like the seven hells. Lei was cheering him on and Yung was there as well. Asuna was nearby and they had moved all of her household into the new in between. Hideaki intended to stay back and forth but he currently had duties to carry out. The inu general was wishing like hell he could be with his mate as he could smell his pup better now. His little girl was gaining yoki by the day and it made him protective. The tiger was gone again and Asuna said nothing. He tried to get her to talk but she refused. So it was that Hideaki was busy with his Western duties and Sesshomaru walked in.

 

“Come. I need to spar.” He commanded.

 

“Hai my lord.” He smiled widely.

 

He loved to spar the Western lord as he gave his close friend a good work out. No one normally watched their sparring and it was a true pleasure. Asuna was also a pleasure to spar as she too was just that excellent. He noticed Lady Augusta in attendance and he bowed low before her. She smiled at him and nodded to him.

 

“Well I shall leave you two to spar. I shall hunt my darling.” She said smiling.

 

“Hn.” Her mate muttered.

 

Augusta gave him one of her dazzling smiles and Hideaki recognized that Asuna had a similar effect. His friend stopped and watched her as she left and his breath let out very slowly.

 

“She is lovely my lord and she gives birth to beautiful bitches.” Hideaki stated.

 

“Hai.” Sesshomaru acknowledged.

 

Hideaki pulled his fang and Sesshomaru pulled Tokijin. They went at it and Augusta ported to the forests outside of the palace. She found herself a deer and fed quickly as she let the beast slip the ground. She buried it and then went to a nearby hot spring. She became aware that she was being hunted and she smirked whilst she soaked. Sesshomaru was in a mood and she decided to play with him. He stepped out from the trees and she was gone. His brows furrowed and he looked around. She was masking and it annoyed him when she did so. He felt fingers on his shoulders and he growled in appreciation.

 

“Mate!” He said turning.

 

“Hai?” She asked smiling.

 

“This Sesshomaru needs his mate.” He snapped.

 

“Poor puppy.” Augusta teased.

 

He growled more and he ripped the kimono from her forcefully. He most definitely was in a mood and he lifted her up against a tree. She bit her lip and she groaned as he joined with her. Her black hair was down and she whined as he made love to his mate roughly and with such intensity. She was lost in the intensity in his raw power and she always wondered why she did not need another. His yoki always sustained her. Granted they did not go a day without making love; more often then not it was a couple times a day at least but she did not wear him out. This inu was simply the most powerful man she had ever met. Their climaxes were staggering and it left her feeling languid and full of everything.

 

“You are a God.” She mumbled.

 

She heard his rare laugh and he nuzzled her neck. His tongue was making short work of her mating mark and it made her weak in the knees.

 

“I have a council meeting this afternoon.” He whispered in her ear.

 

“Shall we defile your study desk?” Augusta asked with mischief.

 

“That is an idea.” Sesshomaru said tracing her lips with his claw.

 

“Kamis made you so sexy. Damn you are such a hot beast.” She said squeezing his buttocks.

 

“Mmm this Sesshomaru needs more praise.” He teased.

 

They bantered back and forth for awhile and finally her mate dressed again and went on to his meeting. She was hungry after the intense bout of sexual release and she went to hunt. She was in a rather good mood as she was deep within the forests. She heard suddenly deep hissing noises and she whirled around. She saw a huge reddish snake like serpent and she stepped back. Augusta honestly had no idea what to think and it suddenly struck at her. She rolled and she went to throw it with her mind. The beast bit into her arm and she screamed in horrendous pain.

 

“Where is the female?” It hissed as it released her arm.

 

“God.” She cried out as she held her arm.

 

“Bastardo!” She heard behind her.

 

She looked back and she saw yet another serpent that was black in color. He changed form and his long black hair was swirling around him. He began letting loose his venom in powerful blasts of yoki and it burned the other beast. His red eyes seemed to glow redder and he suddenly changed back. He actually wrapped his tail around her and flung her into a large bush. It hurt but it got her out of the way. The black serpent sank its jaws into the neck area of the red and then wrapped its body around it. It slowly leached venom and released a noxious cloud as it strangled the other one. Slowly life left the slitted eyes of the red and then the black changed form.

 

“Femmina!” He said rushing to her.

 

“What the hell?” She asked as her arm was changing color.

 

“Hold on femmina. My name is Nigelus.” He said as he sank his fangs into the wound.

 

He sucked hard on the venom and her blood hit him. He made a strange noise as he finished pulling out the poison. The black staggered back and he stared at the stunning femmina and his mouth was agape.

 

“Femmina what are you?” He asked dumbly.

 

“Uppyr. I am uppyr.” Augusta said weakly.

 

“Good Gods. Shit.” He said stumbling back.

 

“What are you?” She asked confused.

 

“I am a Latin basilisk. I woke up suddenly and I could swear I felt my rex but then I did not. I have been looking for him ever since and I saw that foul beast attack you.” He explained putting distance between himself and the too gorgeous woman.

 

“Latin basilisk? I thought basilisks were mythic creatures.” She said shaking her head.

 

“No. We exist but we do not mingle with mammals too often, si you understand?” Nigelus stated.

 

“Hai.” Augusta said trying to rise.

 

“Femmina! Let me help you.” He said picking her up.

 

He picked her up bridal style and he stared into brown eyes that were light golden and made him weak in the knees. She was beautiful and she was uppyr.

 

“I have never seen a real uppyr. I have only heard of your kind femmina. My general was married to a very beautiful one named Josephina.” He said watching her face.

 

“Really?” She asked very interested.

 

“Si. Where do you live?” Nigelus asked.

 

“See that big palace?” She stated.

 

“Si. Do you know of any reptiles on these islands?” He asked as he walked.

 

“Hai. In the extreme south there is a small kingdom of dragons. My mate is the Western Lord. He can send an envoy if you wish.” She said gently.

 

“I would be very grateful my lady.” He said bowing his head.

 

He carried her the whole way to the Western Palace and Jaken went yelling for Sesshomaru. Hideaki saw the basilisk and kept his mouth shut. He waited for his lord to come and he could scent the attack on Augusta. Sesshomaru listened intently to the black and Augusta was rubbing her sore arm.

 

“General Hideaki please call upon the healer.” He commanded.

 

“Hai my lord.” He said and went to get Yasu.

 

“My mate's safety and rescue is appreciated by this Sesshomaru.” He said watching the reptile.

 

“I could not allow your femmina harm by such a disgusting creature my lord. Thank you again for sending the envoy to the south. I am also grateful, si.” He said bowing deeply.

 

Augusta was openly seeing into Nigelus's mind and he was a soldier but he was born into the nobility of this kingdom called Latium. His king's name was Amedeo Servius and she knew the name.

 

“Your rex is a sex god.” She said softly.

 

“Pardon?” He choked.

 

“Augusta!” Sesshomaru growled.

 

“I am sorry. I heard your thoughts. You thought his name and I have studied Roman history. He was worshiped as a pagan sex god.” She shrugged.

 

“Pardon my mate. Her telepathic abilities are unrivaled and she is most learned.” The inu lord said narrowing his amber eyes.

 

“I was not aware femmina; I mean my lady. I have been in hibernation.” Nigelus said a little red faced.

 

“What happened? What happened to your people I mean?” she demanded.

 

“It is a long tale and I am certain most boring.” He said bowing his head.

 

Yasu came in and he looked at her arm. He looked it over and he was growling as he checked it over.

 

“What's your kind doing here boy?” Yasu demanded.

 

“Searching.” He said to the old inu.

 

“Fucking reptiles!” He snapped.

 

“Yasu!” Sesshomaru barked.

 

“Well this is my lady lizard. You tell your kind to stay away from her.” He said checking her carefully.

 

The old healer got done and he walked away. Sesshomaru got up and followed and Hideaki was being watchful.

 

“I know a little of what goes on basilisk. I have fought some of the reds in the south.” Hideaki stated.

 

“What?” He asked shocked.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“General?” Augusta demanded.

 

“I cannot speak on it my lady. I shall ask my lord for a short leave and I will escort you myself. The Black basilisk king will be pleased to find one of his own.” The inu said bowing his head.

 

“Good Gods! This is wonderful si! I am most fortunate.” Nigelus said smiling.

 

Augustus watched carefully and she really hated not knowing what the hell was going on. Sesshomaru came back and she slipped out. She appeared to be the good dutiful mate and Hideaki eventually ported out with the basilisk. She followed later and even though he was a powerful telepath. She was more so. She had never been here and she followed and masked her presence totally. Hideaki brought the basilisk to the dragons and he ported out. Augusta could not believe where she was and she scented the strangest things. She wandered and she scented out females that smelled like Asuna. She watched the black bow low before a beautiful man and he looked most pleased. This basilisk was downright gorgeous and Augusta guessed he was Amedeo. She listened carefully to the Latin being spoken and she realized there were things afoot. Her chest heaved as she followed the supposed sex god and she cleared her throat. Amedeo turned and he saw the mother of his current wife.

 

“Oh wow.” He said blinking.

 

“Pardon? Do I know you?” Augusta asked.

 

“No, not really well femmina. I am Amedeo Gnaeus Servius.” He said bowing.

 

“Augusta Elizaveta Orlovich.” She stated bowing.

 

“You and Asuna look much alike.” He said in awe.

 

“She has my facial features and her father's coloring.” Augusta stated cocking her head.

 

“Si. She is a lovely and beautiful femmina. I love her dearly.” He smiled.

 

“Love her?” She said getting defensive.

 

“You listened I am sure. What do you wish to know?” Amedeo asked.

 

“How are you here? Do you know how foolish it is to mess with this kind of thing? What the hell is going on and why is my daughter recovering from a birth she cannot remember?” She asked getting dangerously angry.

 

“It was done by her decision femmina. The older version of herself had to find the younger version because her enemy begot her with child.” He explained.

 

“The wraiths!” She said surprised.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

“I know them not but they seem to be flowing back and forth. What are you doing here?” She asked bluntly.

 

“I am fighting an old enemy who is taken with Lady Akemi.” Amedeo answered.

 

“My niece? What? Take me to her!” Augusta demanded.

 

Amedeo was amused and he led the beautiful uppyr femmina into the castle. Augusta stormed inside and she saw Akemi Higurashi and she saw another uppyr. Janek could feel the power rolling off of her and he was shocked.

 

“Aunt Augusta?” Akemi asked stunned.

 

“What the hell is going on here?” She demanded.

 

“Time slipping Aunt Augusta. I did what my own Haha did but you were with me but it was an older you and a younger me.” She explained.

 

Augusta narrowed her eyes at Janek as she perused his form.

 

“Who are you?” She demanded.

 

“Janek.” He said in a soft voice.

 

“Strange that I do not know you.” She said coldly.

 

“Again Aunt Augusta; Asuna has been having us slipping as we call it. Janek is from another era altogether.” Her niece stated.

 

“You are the one who turned her the first time.” He said obviously in interest.

 

“I have no idea. Did I? Why would I do that Akemi?” Augusta demanded.

 

“Because I was nearly drained to death. Why are you here?” She asked.

 

“I was attacked by a red basilisk. Hideaki brought the black one here and I followed.” The Western lady replied.

 

“Damn a red went that far north?” Janek asked Akemi.

 

“Ryukotsusei is in Europe with Ryuu. Damnit! I can ask General Gabrielus.” She said standing.

 

Akemi slipped out of the room and Janek looked uncomfortable. Augusta was perusing him fully and he finally cleared his throat.

 

“Akemi has told me that Stasio is your father. She also said that your mother was a succubus?” He asked softly.

 

“She has a big mouth.” She snarled.

 

“Sorry.” He turned red.

 

“My mother is Danika Novak.” She growled.

 

“Danika? You are hers?” He asked shocked.

 

“You know the bitch? I assure you a sow is a much better mother.” Augusta stated in hatred.

 

“I am sorry.” Janek said softly.

 

“I have a twin named Viktor. We were cattle and we were to better her position with Vlad. I hated his court and everything that went on.” She said growling.

 

“What the hell do you mean?” He asked surprised.

 

“You mean to tell me that Vlad is some sort of saint? What a difference several centuries make. Damn.” She snorted in anger and old pain.

 

They stared at the other and Augusta suddenly left. She stormed through the castle and she ran into the black basilisk from earlier.

 

“Femmina?” He asked concerned.

 

“Let me go. I have no wish to be here.” She said in a harsh tone.

 

“Okay.” Nigelus stated releasing her arms.

 

“Apparently you have no idea what you woke up into.” She said wiping tears.

 

“Not really but I will learn it quickly. I hope whatever is bothering you that you feel better. You and your mate are wonderful individuals.” He said bowing.

 

“I have to hunt.” She said stalking away.

 

Janek was in the doorway and he was utterly confused. Her feelings were obvious but her mind was closed of tighter then anything he had ever seen. She was such a powerful telepath that it made him shocked. Asuna was stronger with her psi yoki but this pure uppyr was the most powerful pure female he had ever met. Nigelus decided to watch over her without her knowing and he went into the forest. Augusta was in a rage as she went to take down a boar and she was without warning attacked by a wyvern. She snarled out as she threw the brown beast into a palm tree. Brennus was shocked at the strength of the women and she twisted her hands and fire erupted along his wings. He screamed and she threw him with a wave of her arm. Nigelus changed and came at him and the short battle was bloody and short. Brennus had to retreat and he shifted out. Nigelus changed form and staggered forward.

 

“Why did you interfere? I could have handled him!” She yelled.

 

“Sorry femmina. It is my duty to protect unarmed people.” He said bleeding from his face.

 

Augusta stared at the blood and she moved to him. She began to lick along his skin.

 

“Femmina?” Nigelus asked shocked.

 

“God. Oh God your blood tastes so good.” She said growling hard.

 

“Femmina, legends say that basilisk blood and uppyr blood tastes very good to each other. When I tasted yours earlier it was delicious but need to stop.” He said in a shaky voice.

 

“You taste like the most expensive absinthe.” She said licking up all the blood.

 

“Really?” He asked almost laughing.

 

“Hai. God you taste so freakishly good.” Augusta murmured licking his veins in his neck.

 

“You may wish to stop.” He mumbled.

 

“Not really.” She purred.

 

She bared her fangs and sank her fangs into his throat. He gasped sharply and Nigelus was struggling to stay above the sensation. Augusta ran her fingers into his lush black tresses.

 

“Si.” He barely whispered.

 

Augusta was drinking hard and she could feel his body respond. Suddenly she was yanked off of him and she snarled in anger. Gabrielus held her and he stared at his sub-general and waited for him to return a little to normal.

 

“Take a walk my friend and find the ocean. It is cold right now, si? Her mate is ungodly powerful and not a foe you wish to have.” He said flatly.

 

“Si General Gabrielus.” He nodded as his body trembled.

 

“Unhand me!” She screamed

 

“You are feeling the effects of basilisk blood uppyr. You will be okay in a little bit. Go home and make passionate amor with your mate.” Gabrielus said gently.

 

“No. I want that one.” She growled.

 

“No. Lord Sesshomaru is no enemy of ours. Please femmina! You are under the influence.” He stated calmly.

 

She ripped herself away and she growled and snarled at him. She ported out and Gabrielus cursed. He had been so taken with Josephina that things had happened. Hell, things had escalated between himself and Wen that way and he knew without a doubt what a blood lust could do. He phased out to the beach and he saw no signs of poor Nigelus.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

Nigelus was backing up into the forest again and her eyes were red. She looked deadly and hauntingly beautiful. He stared at the uppyr and it was obvious she wanted to devour him.

 

“I am not food femmina.” He said helplessly.

 

“Really? You taste like it.” She laughed.

 

“I have no wish to…” Nigelus groaned.

 

She was pressed against him and her fangs were latched onto his throat. He gasped out as it was too much. He groaned out as Augusta was consumed with his taste.

 

“Femmina. Please, I am so close to edge. Please.” He begged.

 

Augusta heard the desperate tone and she began to lick the fang marks and the black basilisk began shaking as his body became tighter and tighter. Augusta suddenly gently grabbed his hard length through his leggings. His yelped and groaned as the material ripped and she released his throat. She sucked his ear love into her mouth and began to slowly stroke his flesh. He arched in her hand and thrust a little as the climax was sudden and violent. Nigelus would have collapsed if she had not pinned him. Augusta suddenly stepped back and stared at her hand in shock and dismay. The young basilisk slid down the tree and he was like rubber.

 

“Oh God. I am so sorry. I am sorry.” She said horrified at herself.

 

“Please forget this.” He said trying to be decent.

 

Augusta ported out and Nigelus covered himself as he was physically weak from a major blood letting and the odd encounter. He could see how his kind became mindless idiots when encountered with the infamous beings and he was but a casualty to one.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////

Gabrielus found him not long after and the poor man had been attacked. He helped up Nigelus and he was surprised that he was not dead or Augusta was not tied down.

 

“How did you manage?” He asked surprised.

 

“She is powerful. I am so sorry General Gabrielus. I did not try to allow it.” Nigelus stuttered in shame.

 

“That is the mother to our rex's current wife. Our new regina is more powerful then anything I have ever seen. My own wife is her granddaughter and powerful too.” He said smiling.

 

“How did the mammals become so?” He asked stunned.

 

“Not sure. They evolved I think. Please come and feel no shame. The femmina is a renowned succubus from what I hear.” Gabrielus stated.

 

“A succubus?” Nigelus said shocked.

 

“Si. She is most powerful amongst uppyr.” He nodded.

 

He shifted them out to the castle and he found Wen pacing. Wenling had been gone only a full day and now she was obviously in distress.

 

“Wen my love?” He asked nearing her.

 

“Rena gave me a draught. She said I cannot go any longer.” She said in fear.

 

“Pardon? I thought she said we would have time!” He said angry.

 

“She said the babe is too big. She said I need to have it or risk bleeding out.” Wen stated.

 

Gabrielus was supposed to leave soon to find some stray reds and they had fought Brennus. He felt helpless and he yelled for the old dragoness. He stormed into the healer's rooms and Rena looked up. She put up a finger and growled at the white.

 

“Your girl is big. She is not moving as much which means she is running out of room in her womb. Before you get mad consider that. I can deliver this babe now and save them both.” She snapped.

 

All the anger and wind went out of his sails and he nodded numbly. He went to find Akemi to ask for a little time to stay with his wife and the dragon lady told him absolutely. It was not long before the pains were hard and Wen was on her futon breathing through pain. Gabrielus was in a nightmare it seemed and every scream she made; it tore him up and Amedeo came to him.

 

“Gabreilus! Calm down si!” He commanded.

 

“I will loose her! I lost Josephina and I nearly lost her to our twins. I am not meant to be happy do you not see?” He said agitated.

 

“Calm down my friend. Here drink this.” Amedeo stated as he handed him sake.

 

Gabrielus downed the rice wine and he went to the door as he saw Wen. The ancient dragoness was soothing her with words and ice on her forehead as she labored. His gut twisted and he truly thought he would loose her. Tears actually stung his eyes as he saw her face wince in pain and he gripped the door.

 

“I know how you European reptiles are but here our males stay with our onna. Get your scaled ass over here.” Rena commanded.

 

Gabrielus snarled at her and made his way over to his mate. She grabbed his hand and he saw her face covered in sweat. Rena was talking to Wen softly and she would nod.

 

“Good girl. I want you to push but I will help you. I am not going to let you labor like I would a dragon onna. Our bodies are made to take the long labors.” She said calmly.

 

“You have any?” Wen asked through contractions.

 

“Oh hai. I have three sons. My mate and I were mated a long while before he died in the One Great War. My oldest boy died too and my two youngest still live.” She chuckled as she checked Wen.

 

Gabrielus stared at Rena as if he would kill her and she waved at him as if he was an idiot. She knew that he was being proper and it made her happy. The young basilisk boy was madly in love with the tigress and his behavior was proper reptile behavior regarding mates. She got up and felt Wen's belly and she had told her this would be painful. She pushed down on her stomach with the next contraction and Wen screamed out. Gabrielus's eyes had bled dark green and he was suppressing viperish snarls as his wife was screaming harder. Amedeo was nearby and so was Nigelus. They both winced and Quon came in as he heard his own cub screaming. Rena stayed calm as she had gotten the babe down fast.

 

“Okay my girl. Push really hard now. I mean use your yoki if you have to but bear down with all your might.” She commanded.

 

Wen nodded and she was actually breaking Gabrielus's hand. He did not seem to notice as he was still making a snarling noise. Quon stayed near and Cheung too heard his niece screaming and it curled his tail. His brain was overloaded with images of Asuna having his own cub and he had left yet again. Rena kept telling her what to do and Wen felt herself tear a little but the dragoness guided out the head of the mixed female.

 

“Slow up a little. Shhh almost done Wen. Good girl. Small push okay?” Rena asked.

 

Wen nodded but tears streamed down her face as she pushed. Suddenly wailing hit the air and Gabrielus about fainted. Rena was cleaning up a white haired infant and the girl was flailing her limbs.

 

“Come here General Gabrielus. Come see what you and your mate did.” The healer commanded.

 

He slowly moved to his new daughter and a noise escaped his throat. She was wailing still but he could see his white hair with barely there tiger stripes. She looked like their twins and his heart was beating out of control. Rena cut the cord whilst he held her and he moved slowly to Wen. His daughter opened her golden brown eyes and he was struck. They were basilisk eyes but the color of Wen.

 

“Femmina. Look at our baby. Look at her.” He said choking on tears.

 

Wen looked at their baby girl and she broke into happy sobs. He laid her in his wife's arms and laid his head on her belly. He cried openly and Rena was relieved. She would set his hand soon and she stitched up the tigress and delivered the afterbirth. Things were calm in the room and she left quietly to give them some time to bond.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

Gabrielus was next to Wen and his daughter as they slept. His baby was beautiful and she was big. She was bigger then the average mammal born daemon. She was healthy and she was perfect. He had fallen to his knees before Rena and begged her forgiveness. Rena had chuckled and set his broken hand. She had said nothing and went on about her business. His mate was serene and their baby had been named Xiuying. He intended to just call her Ying and Wen laughed.

 

 

“Femmina? Are you awake any?” He whispered.

 

“Just a little.” She grinned sleepily.

 

“Thank you. I am so happy.” Gabrielus said as he watched his baby girl open her eyes.

 

“She wants to eat again. I hope Wenling is okay.” She sighed.

 

“Lord Ryuu loves her and this Jortel loves her. It would seem she will be okay but they will fight for her. Sky dragons are Norse reptiles. They worship different gods then us and they worship females as warriors.” He explained as his hand cupped his daughter's head.

 

“Oh Gods. She is an ideal in their society?” Wen asked as she fed their babe.

 

“Si.” He said kissing her lips.

 

Wen was worried but for the moment in her own life things were perfect.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wenling saw Ryuu enter and she cried out in relief. His eyes were red and he was shaking in anger. Jortel was not in the doorway and his father was also near.

 

“You should not have done this.” Ryukotsusei stated.

 

“Oh? You stole your own mate did you not?” Jortel asked slyly.

 

“You put yourself to good use in my kingdom.” He growled.

 

“I heard things is all. Your son's treatment of Wenling was deplorable and he would have been executed for such an act of cowardice here.” The sky dragon snorted.

 

Ryuu turned furious eyes to Jortel and his patience was gone.

 

“Wenling has he touched you?” He demanded.

 

“No.” She lied.

 

Jortel knew why she was saying it and he let it pass. He knew how this honor thing worked with these people and he snorted at the idea. Ryuu growled trying not to loose his form.

 

“You wished to fight for her and a fight you shall have you cretin! You have no honor and no right to try and take my mate! You have no understanding of our ways!” Ryuu snarled.

 

“I have no need to understand such ways. Heiden would already be dead at her feet but you languish and feel sorry for yourself. You are not a man but a pretender. I spit on you.” He yelled.

 

Wenling sat up and she was growling. Jortel could see she was in pain and she was angry.

 

“Lord Ryukotsusei I wish to return to Japan. I want my children born under your roof.” She said struggling.

 

“Wenling!” Jortel snapped.

 

Ryuu moved fast and punched him with tremendous force. Jortel took the opening and hit back. Ryuu let his hand out stretch and his raigekidan crackled to life. He released a bullet of the energized yoki and it Jortel squarely. The other dragon yelled in horrendous pain and Ryuu smirked with malice. Ryukotsusei went to Wenling and she was gasping. Jortel stood up and he began to snarl.

 

“No! Do not do this! Please no!” She screamed.

 

“You will be a dead man! Do you hear me? She is my mate and mother to children. You are nothing!” Her mate snarled in anger.

 

“Draw your blade coward.” The white said in a hissing fashion.

 

“Lord Ryukotsusei.” Wenling said in fear.

 

“It is dragon way Wenling. I must take you home. Ryuu is a man and he is defending his family. It is what he must do.” He stated firmly.

 

“No! He could be hurt. No! My lord no! Please no! Please no, Ryuu! Ryuu!” She screamed as his father took his mate and ported.

 

“I have no idea why she is in love with you! You are worthless.” His enemy stated.

 

Ryuu pulled his fang and Jortel pulled a huge, nasty looking blade. The Japanese dragon prince did not wait and he struck with deadly speed. He also used his raigekidan liberally and Jortel dodged. The room slowly became destroyed as both males fought well. Ryuu grew sick of it and stepped back. He sheathed his fang and he changed form. Jortel had been flinging ice and snow at him but this dragon was too much like his kind; they were warm blooded and the ice did not affect them as badly. Ryuu coiled and struck quickly and then would release his energy yoki. Jortel changed form too and they took to slashing with claws and tearing at the other with teeth and fang. The sky dragon grew furious as the other male was a trained warrior and he was actually quite powerful. They kept it up and finally Jortel bit him in the throat but Ryuu slashed his chest deeply with back claws and again released the pink energy. Jortel snarled out as blood and ash fell from the wound and blood flowed freely down his dragon body. He changed form and his whole face was covered in blood and so was his front.

 

“Stay away from my mate and my family.” He said barely able to stand straight.

 

“This is not over! I made a claim on her and I will win her over.” Jortel said sputtering in agony.

 

Ryuu ported and he stumbled in the castle but he stayed upright. He walked towards his bedroom and he saw Wenling on their futon. A smile graced his features and he drew closer.

 

“How is she Rena?” He asked softly.

 

“She is in full labor my prince. I will call upon my helpers and get you cleaned up. Your twin delivered a healthy girl. These babes will be here soon.” The old onna said.

 

“Good. Thank you Rena. Wenling, I need to talk to my father but I will return. I love you onna.” He said stepping near her.

 

She had been crying and he kissed her softly. Wenling kissed him deeply and he softly groaned and he realized that he would need to be careful of her or they would have a huge family. She laughed against his mouth and he kissed her again lightly.

 

“I will be right back.” He stated.

 

He went to the main hall and his father was pacing. He looked relieved and he bowed,

 

“You do me proud my son. You look like hell.” Ryukotsusei chuckled.

 

“Hai. I hurt a little but I should be okay. My mate is making me a father.” Ryuu stated as he bowed.

 

The Dragon lord looked very pleased and he was also worried. He went in search of Akemi and she was busy talking to the head of his soldiers and Ryuu, his brother. He was still worried over his younger brother but he noticed how much attention he lavished on his youngest sons; both of them. He figured it was the loss of his own babe.

 

“Do as your lady commands and I will arrive within the day.” He told Kandou.

 

His head warrior bowed and left. Ryukotsusei turned to Akemi as she stared up at him.

 

“Hello mate.” He said in a small sigh.

 

“Hi.” She said standing.

 

She brushed his hair out of his face and he lifted her hand to his lips. He softly kissed her palm several times and began to kiss up her wrist.

 

“Ryu?” She asked stunned.

 

“Akemi, I am tired. I am sick of the hubbub and we have so much of it. You still make me so unlike myself.” He stated as he jerked her to him.

 

“Oh?” Akemi smiled a little.

 

“Hai. Do you remember when I asked you for Ryunosuke?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded mesmerized.

 

“I need you like that.” He said picking her up.

 

He opened her kimono as he sat her on his desk and he took in her loveliness.

 

“Where is our uppyr?” Ryu demanded as he merged with her.

 

“Upset. He met my Aunt Augusta. Oh Kamis Ryu!” She whispered breathlessly.

 

“I want him to take you. I want to see him taste you.” He whispered feverishly.

 

“When did you get so kinky?” Akemi asked loosing her mind.

 

“When I realized you would do anything for me.” He chuckled as he kissed her throat.

 

Akemi was determined to keep Janek apart of them and she pathed to him. He was surprised but he cautiously replied. She was curt and short in her mind and he had a feeling he knew what was up and he sighed. The dragon was dominating him and it scared him. He went to the study and he saw them and he was mentally torn. Akemi begged him and he slipped in.

 

“You rival my kind in sheer raunchiness you know.” He replied breathless.

 

“If I did not think you a good man then I would not suffer you to live.” Ryukotsusei stated flatly.

 

“That is so comforting.” Janek snapped.

 

“Well I am in a particular mood and I have made you part of us.” The dragon snorted.

 

“What does my master want?” The uppyr asked.

 

Ryukotsusei looked amused and whispered in Akemi's ear. She groaned loudly and nodded. Janek looked over her and his eyes simmered as the dragon moved to let him see her. She was laid out on the desk and poor Janek was in a lust rather quickly.

 

“Beautiful.” He muttered as he stood over her.

 

“Janek.” Akemi whispered softly.

 

He lowered his mouth and kissed her passionately as Akemi worked on his clothes. He could not believe he was here yet again doing exactly what the other man wanted. His mate sank her fangs into his chest as she bared it and he gasped out in pleasure.

 

“This is going to be our way.” He voiced as things became heated.

 

Things clicked in so many ways and somehow the embarrassment left him and he just wanted to be apart of what was.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hanaj watched Asuna and his heart was full. He had become reacquainted with Yung. He was thrilled to see Lei and the kids again. He had become aware of Yhea even before Lei but he was not as volatile as his cousin. He took her hand and pulled her behind him. She looked at him in askance and he was being mysterious. He pushed her up against a door and kissed her mouth. He had come to hate his father so much and he intended to find Nveid in the time stream. They had known Iyo had gone back because Kizaki had told them so. He made himself rip his lips away and he had made love to her several times already.

 

“I need Nveid. I need to find him and Iyo and bring them here. So I shall go and find my brother to be apart of our growing resistance against my father and you grow heavy with these precious babies.” He said kissing her nose.

 

“You are so light hearted.” Asuna said smiling.

 

“Yes. I have plans and I see a future for my clan in that little boy. He is more powerful then I am Asuna. He will make a grand king and I will replace my father with my son.” Hanaj said flatly.

 

She noticed he refused to acknowledge Takeo as anything other then his child and he refused to mention how he was sired. She would honor it and she was glad for her child's sake that he would have a man as good as Hanaj as his father.

 

“Yung is a good man by the way. I always saw him in the shadows and I honestly very rarely saw any Koval in Astana. He is a boon to our cause and can teach us all.” He stated kissing her cheek.

 

“Be careful.” She whispered.

 

“I shall be most careful. I know what the bastard can do. I should have been more careful before but I was under the impression he cared about me.” He scoffed.

 

Asuna nodded and she watched him walk to get Lei. They would go and find his full blooded brother and her daughter Iyo.
