Battered Remains

 

True to her word she had returned to the Ryuku Kingdom. She was gathering up her small forces and Amedeo watched her.

 

“What is going on?” Amedeo demanded.

 

“I am going after Drostan.” Asuna stated in a business like tone.

 

“Pardon? Femmina have you gone insane?” He asked shocked.

 

“No.” She said going to her armor.

 

“Asuna! Gods damn it! Listen to me and you will not go after that Bastardo in your condition!” He yelled.

 

“Hai I am and hai, I hear you as I am sure the whole castle heard you as well. I am going and I am not stopping till he is dead.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“He did not do as you said he did femmina! You stopped it! You stopped Justinus's death and my suicide. Why do this now?” He said shaking her.

 

“Because I saw you dead! I saw you so wracked with grief and my idiot mouth drove you to allow yourself to become so bereaved. He is OUR son and by the Kamis I will protect him. As long as Drostan lives then you are in danger and so is my son!” She screamed.

 

“You doubt that I would protect him?” He growled.

 

“I do not doubt you or your abilities, I doubt Mochrie. He is evil and he resorts to evil intentions which you do not contemplate because you are good! So hai in a way I doubt you because you are good. He will not only pay for what he did do to me but what he did to my predecessor. You will grimace when I get done with him and I will make him beg for his life after what he did to Valentina and your children!” Asuna growled in his face.

 

Amedeo saw she meant it and what had occurred must have been pretty bad because he hated Drostan but this femmina was seething and it reeked off of her.

 

“Asuna you need wait. Please. I beg of you, si? Please. I want you to have our baby girl. I want to see what our beautiful amore made. I beg you.” Amedeo murmured cupping her face in his hands.

 

“I know you did not beg Valentina. I know she was a good and proper wife to you but I am a warrior Amedeo. I love you. I cannot live with myself if I ignore what happened.” She said kissing his palm.

 

“I loved her Asuna but damn it, I have loved you a long while too! You have seen to it. As much as I love Justinus; I love this baby. I love this baby so much. Do you not understand? I never looked forward to the birth of my children like this femmina? Never!” He said pressing a hand lovingly to her stomach.

 

“I will not loose our daughter. He will have to kill me brutally before I do.” Asuna said kissing him passionately.

 

He was too caught up into the kiss and she slowly pulled back.

 

“Femmina! I was not done yelling at you.” He snapped.

 

“I am done listening. I love you, you sexy and beautiful man.” She laughed softly.

 

“What about Valerian?” He asked raising a brow.

 

She stopped short and turned. She said nothing and he watched her face.

 

“Hai?” She asked.

 

“Has he professed love for you?” He demanded.

 

“No.” Asuna said flatly.

 

“I never knew he even thought about femmina. Gabrielus told me that Valerian boldly told him that he was bedding his regina.” Amedeo said watching her face.

 

“He is not you.” She said flatly.

 

“What does that mean?” He asked growling.

 

“It means he is not you. I am in love with you. I give you my heart. I give you children if you so desire.” She shrugged.

 

“He is fun.” He said smirking almost nastily.

 

“He is young. He will get bored with me and move on.” She shrugged again.

 

Amedeo nodded and leaned against the wall. His society was very free sexually but matters of the heart were different. Sex was sex but love was love. Valerian was no threat as long as the young upstart did not love her. He watched her leave and he decided it was high time he spoke with his former vice-general. Valerian stayed in the Western in between and he shifted to it. He looked around and Justinus felt him. His boy ran into his arms and he knelt so that he could be eye level when he spoke.

 

“Si Papa! I am so happy to see you!” He cried.

 

“I am always happy to see my boy.” Amedeo whispered hugging his son.

 

“Mama has gone?” he asked softly.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

“My brothers and sisters whisper Papa. They say Mama will go after the wyvern, si?” Justinus asked.

 

His son was extremely well spoken for a child of nearly seven. They had been in the past for some time and he was happy and healthy.

 

“Your Mama has faced some terrible things lately. She will be okay.” Amedeo said doubting his own words.

 

“I love Mama, Papa.” He said worried.

 

“I love your Mama too. Very much, si.” He said hugging his child tightly.

 

Amedeo saw Valerian and the former general was cocky. He also brazenly met his eyes. Amedeo whispered in his child's ear and Justinus nodded. He left to go to the nursery and Amedeo stood his full height. He was tall and his black-red hair fell just past his shoulders now.

 

“Gabrielus has spoken, si?” He said flatly.

 

“Has he? Well what has he spoken your majesty?” Valerian asked bowing low.

 

“He accuses you of sleeping with your regina, my wife.” Amedeo said growling.

 

“I do not deny anything my rex. It would do no good to lie to you si? You were quite dead when it started. I was not aware that a dead man had marital rights.” He said watching his face.

 

“You are being impertinent!” He snarled.

 

“Si. Perhaps I am. I have no intentions of leaving her bed but no fears sir. I am loyal to you sir and you have precedence as always. I have much to keep me entertained.” He smiled widely.

 

“Since when do you have interest in femmina?” His rex demanded.

 

“Since I woke up and this beautiful creature stared at me. She felt really good and she bites. Oh si, so good.” Valerian purred.

 

Amedeo was incensed and he would never have thought he would be jealous of Valerian of all men.

 

“Stay out of my way.” He growled.

 

“Si my rex.” He bowed.

 

“Gabrielus wants to speak to you.” Amedeo snapped.

 

“I have nothing to say to him.” He shrugged.

 

“Consider that an order.” He snarled again and he stalked off.

 

Valerian made a face at his king's back and he sighed. He shifted to the Ryuku Kingdom and he went in search of his ex lover. His face was filled with annoyance and he had been flirting with Lei. His recent memories were excellent and Gabrielus was most certainly not apart of his equation. He was pouting face was what his old lover found and he made a face at him.

 

“Always pouting! You are a brat.” He growled.

 

“So?” Valerian asked looking at his claws in boredom.

 

“How can you act like this?” Gabrielus asked in hurt.

 

“Easy! I see so many beautiful people and I am young! I am younger then you and you are obviously over me. Mammal femmina are awesome.” He said brightly.

 

“I never got over you! I was devastated when I thought you dead! I was wretched and my relationship with Wen almost did not survive because I could not speak of my amor with you, si?” He snapped.

 

“But it survived. I am happy for you Gabrielus. Move on, please! I have. I really do not care anymore.” He said shrugging.

 

The white was shaking in anguish and he thought he could move on and he had broken down several times. Wen was understanding but he had begged her for closure to this pain. She had told whatever happened; she did not want to know of it. He loved his wife deeply but this man had tortured his soul for millenniums. Gabrielus actually grabbed him and his mouth invaded his. Valerian grew angry and shoved him back.

 

“I do not want you. Leave me alone. I want nothing to do with you! Do not dare cheat on your mate you son of a whore!” He snarled.

 

“Yet you sleep with our regina?” He retorted.

 

“She is a succubus idiot. Our rex knows and told me to defer to him which I am not stupid. He could kill me if he so chose. So fuck you!” Valerian snarled back.

 

“You said it.” Gabrielus said growling out.

 

He was knocked down and his ex-lover had become powerful. He arched under his hand and groaned as he touched him. His head thrashed and he was rasping.

 

“I was awake a lot longer then you Valerian. I was not suspended so young, si? I have gained more of my power. I remember how you feel. I remember how you looked when we made amore.” He whispered.

 

“No more! I am no longer yoked to you. We are nothing, si! I want nothing from you. I want my freedom from my feelings and your shame. You obviously learned to accept yourself but I will not be party to it any longer. I belong to me!” He yelled.

 

Gabrielus suddenly had a wicked thought. Wen was scared and nervous and Valerian was now intrigued with mammals. He shifted to his bedroom and he yelled out for his wife. She walked in and she turned red.

 

“Gabrielus! What are you doing?” She asked shocked.

 

“Do you love me femmina?” He asked softly.

 

“Of course! Do not be stupid.” She said rolling her eyes.

 

“Do something for me. It will be hard but I wish it.” He said meeting her eyes.

 

She watched his green eyes and Valerian tried to get up and the white slammed him back down. He grabbed his cock and he dared not moved.

 

“Will you?” Gabrielus asked eyeing her.

 

Wen looked upset then she looked determined. Valerian shouted out as she suddenly sank him down her throat. He was groaning heavily as she used her raspy tongue.

 

“Bastard. You bastard.” He cried out loudly as the white watched her.

 

“Wen! Femmina you look so beautiful.” He stated in awe.

 

She lifted her eyes and stared at him as she went back to pleasuring Valerian, who had been reduced to cursing Gabrielus and crying out in Latin. Wen realized that he still felt for this man but he also loved her fiercely. She knew her history well and what had occurred between them was not unusual in ancient times in the armies. Her husband undressed and he had plans. If Valerian wished to experience a mammal femmina then by the Gods he would. Her mate watched rapt till the black erupted and she groaned softly. He was gasping under her and Gabreilus took her mouth and kissed her deeply as Valerian caught his breath.

 

“You kinky son of a whore.” He whispered.

 

Gabrielus pinned him with a stare and he looked brazenly at him.

 

“Who taught me certain things mi amor?” The white asked growling loudly.

 

He yanked Wen's clothes off and he began to work her tender spot and she groaned. Valerian stared at her full breasts and his old lover knew he was just like him. His lusty stare spoke volumes and he watched the red eyes glaze over.

 

“Lay back my lovely femmina. She gives our babe milk Valerian. Taste her.” He commanded.

 

He was entranced and leaned over and began to tease her nipple. Wen gasped loudly as Gabrielus spoke Min Chinese. He told he loved her. He told her that nothing would take him from her and he proceeded to tell her that she was going to be made amor to that would make her scream and scream. Her husband did not lie. Wen felt like she was high and they both kissed and suckled her at the same time as she moaned at first then began to scream out as she began to have orgasm after orgasm. Gabrielus took her and he was relentless in his pleasuring. She was shocked to see Valerian join in and he sandwiched her between them and she did not know this was possible. They took her at the same time until she passed out. Gabrielus was staring at Valerian as he was comatose.

 

“I did not leave you.” He whispered.

 

“I am not returning.” Valerian replied in a heavy voice.

 

“I love you still.” He growled.

 

“No.” he said shaking his head emphatically.

 

“Si!” Gabrielus snarled out.

 

The white crawled over Wen and pinned him down. Wen woke up and was surprised to see him kiss the other passionately. She was further shocked to realize it turned her on. She further shocked herself by biting her claws off and sucking on her fingers and wetting them thoroughly. Gabrielus was too busy seeking to dominate him that Valerian choked into his mouth. He ripped his lips away and Valerian was moaning and Wen scissored her fingers. She thrust gently until she found the prostate and began to gently massage against it so that he felt paradise.

 

“Wen?” Gabrielus asked surprised.

 

“Not ignorant.” Wen whispered huskily.

 

“Oh Gods!” Valerian hissed in passion.

 

“Shit this is so hot.” She muttered in modern vernacular.

 

“You will allow this?” Her husband asked.

 

“I want to watch.” His wife said leaning forward and kissing him stupid.

 

Valerian wanted to scream if he had any choice but he was a prisoner to his freaking lust and passion. He was suddenly full and he moaned out so hard and he thought for certain he would die. It felt so good. It felt so good after all this time. Gabrielus stared down at him and he was rasping softly. His lover was right and he had gotten kinky.

 

“Wen? Take him.” He whispered.

 

“Really?” She asked stunned.

 

“Si. I want to see the only femmina I love take him. Please.” He begged.

 

Valerian shook his head no but she straddled him. He arched a little and screamed out as her mammal heat encased his cock. He was going to pass out. He was going to pass out and loose his mind. Slowly the mated couple began to move in tandem and he was on overload. It literally felt too good and he could swear he would be fucked to death.

Asuna had a plan of action. She had her bitter enemy as her ally for the moment and she was going to strike. Ryukotsusei was coming back from a hunt and he was startled to see her wearing armor and her hair was pulled up. She meant business and he moved quickly near her side.

 

“What are you doing?” He demanded.

 

“I thought it obvious Lord Ryukotsusei.” She said formally.

 

“I believed you would allow me in the hunt.” Ryukotsusei said coldly.

 

“I have to move quickly; I made a command decision. I am unused to having to discuss my military decisions with another save my father.” Asuna brushed past.

 

“You act as if I cannot honor my word.” He hissed.

 

“I go.” She said annunciating each word.

 

She walked past him and he was furious. He walked quickly to his own rooms. Akemi was nursing Angel and he began to dress with haste.

 

“What is going on?” She asked.

 

“Your cousin is being foolish.” He growled softly.

 

“I do not understand.” Akemi said standing and laying down the babe.

 

“She hates the wyvern Akemi. She hates him with more zeal then I do.” He said glaring at her.

 

“Pardon me?” She asked her mate.

 

“She changed an event but he killed her child by the basilisk. She has it in her head that she is going to kill him and now.” The dragon stated as he slipped on his highly polished armor.

 

“You just now decide to mention this? Why would she tell you?” Akemi growled.

 

“Because Akemi! She does not want you to know that she will kill the rotten bastard. You have as much honor as we do. You would not want the father of Keiji. She is even less stupid then me my dear.” He said with coldness.

 

“I did not intend to betray you.” She said with a heaving chest.

 

“I understand that my dear but it is a bitter pill. It is not you; do you understand? It is that creature! Now do not act righteous.” Ryukotsusei said storming past her.

 

Akemi trembled and she realized Drostan was a dead man. Asuna would have no mercy and Ryukotsusei had been conspiring with her cousin.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“Wipe that smirk off your face! You saw him. He is healthy.” She growled loudly.

 

“He is beautiful.” Maec said with actual warmth.

 

“He calls Hanaj, chichi.” She smiled.

 

Maec lost his temper and slapped her across the mouth. He went to do it again and his hand was caught by none other then Ryukotsusei himself.

 

“This is your solution?” He hissed at Asuna.

 

“Stay out of it!” She growled.

 

“Yes lizard, stay out of it.” The Shouten king said to the dragon.

 

“You really have no idea with whom you deal, do you Shouten?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“Should I?” Maec asked bored.

 

“Not even the Inu no Taisho could destroy me.” He said crushing Maec's hand.

 

The Shouten king snarled in pain and drew his hand back. He went to release something and the dragon lord moved with such swiftness that he pinned Maec to the ground.

 

“It is beneath me but do not fuck with me Shouten. I am not having a good day.” He said flatly.

 

“Well Isha; your buddy is charming.” The wraith said glaring at Asuna.

 

“I am very charming.” He said with a nasty smile.

 

“Ryukotsusei, if I wished to involved you then I would have.” She said in anger.

 

“I am involved inu. I am involved as it was my honor as well.” He said growling.

 

Maec was listening carefully and he was really getting interested in the history of this blasted family. It was as convoluted and screwed as his. His smiled made her nauseous and he phased out.

 

“Oh hell.” She said scrambling.

 

“What?” He asked.

 

“I have to go.” She said running.

 

“What? Lady Asuna, what?” He yelled.

 

“You mentioned Touga! You mentioned my grandsire!” She yelled back.

 

“So?” The dragon growled as he jerked her back.

 

“He will go back Ryukotsusei! He will go back just to mess with me and screw with you!” Asuna snarled.

 

She ported out and he was left to stand there alone.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She found Juria as this was no matter to trifle with. Maec screwing with Touga was not a good thing. She burst into the Northern hut and Juria was startled. She saw Asuna and tears flooded her eyes.

 

“No! I do not want to hear anything from you! I am only here to stop Maec from screwing with Touga.” Asuna growled.

 

“Oh Kamis.” She said with a trembling lip.

 

“Hai! Remember him? One of your lovers?” She snarled.

 

Juria knew it would take much to forgive her actions and she gathered many crystals. She gave them to Asuna who looked thrilled.

 

“I love you. Perhaps some day you can forgive me but I did it because I love you.” Juria whispered.

 

“If you loved me then you would not have tried to kill one of my sons regardless of who his sire is.” Asuna said hissing.

 

She threw a crystal and stepped through.

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

Asuna looked around and it was odd to be here. She ported and she had her salve to cover her markings. She had no time to deal with her grandmere and she marched into the Western palace. Most knew she was someone important to Touga but they never elaborated. She knocked loudly on his study and she heard him sigh. She walked in and his face was astonished.

 

“Sister? Why are you here?” He demanded.

 

“One of my enemies has returned here. I know him and he will try to ascertain your strength.” Asuna said bluntly.

 

“Oh really? How very rude of him.” Touga snorted.

 

“Touga!” She growled.

 

“Calm down. Have some tea and let us talk. Last time you were here your pup was upset and took one of my best soldiers.” He said sitting.

 

“She is happily mated to Uchuu and they have two sons and one daughter. Yuzuna has also given Ukitake a daughter.” She explained.

 

“Well good. She is beautiful by the way. Now this enemy is making you nervous?” He asked pouring tea.

 

“Touga, never do a tea ceremony.” Asuna laughed taking the tea from him and finishing pouring.

 

“Sorry my dear. I am a man and a warrior.” He said chuckling.

 

“Speaking of warrior! I need to know where Ryukotsusei is.” She said sipping her own.

 

He actually choked on the tea and glared at her mentioning the dragon. Asuna raised a brow and he growled loudly.

 

“Why?” Touga asked.

 

“Because Maec will screw with him too. Now I know you do not like him but he does play a role in our future.” She said tapping her foot.

 

“He is in the Ryuku Islands. I have driven him back for now.” He shrugged.

 

She drank her tea and she would find him. He was fairly newly mated to Akemi at this point and so her presence would not be too offensive. Touga went in search of his dojo and Asuna hid her stash of crystals in her guest chambers. She ported to the south islands and she was running through the forest. She was hit and she rolled. She choked on blood and it was a dragon. It was a red dragon and it looked nasty.

 

“Little far from home are you not little inu?” He snarled.

 

“I need to see your Lord Ryukotsusei.” She said wiping her mouth

 

“Like he would want an inu cunt like you.” The red laughed and changed form.

 

He was a Japanese dragon and she went to release her nami and he broke her wrist. She screamed in pain and this was no ordinary dragon.

 

“You are the ballsy bitch that stood up to the lord years ago. Like to dominate?” He snarled.

 

“Stop this! I need to see Ryukotsusei. His mate is my cousin!” Asuna screamed.

 

“I am Ryo. I am Lord Ryukotsusei's lead warrior.” He growled in her ear.

 

Her face crumpled as he snapped her other wrist. The pain was unreal and she gasped out as he smirked. He ripped the armor from her and it made sense he would be aggressive.

 

“Why is a female inu a warrior anyway? Are you important to that fucking bastard, the Taisho? Arrogant bastard to go by such a name!” Ryo growled.

 

Asuna was trying to think but the pain was distracting her. She heard silk ripping and she screamed again as his fingers violated her. Rage built up in her and she refused to be a victim like she had been as Sorami. She could not hold anything and whirled suddenly and kicked him with all her might in his groin. He went down and she was sweating. She was a mess and she ported out. She fell in heap on the steps of the dragon castle and there were shouts. Someone yelled inu and the pain was getting to her. Ryukotsusei came himself and he was shocked as hell to see the cousin of his mate. She was indecent and he frowned.

 

“Why are you here?” He demanded.

 

“Danger. I realize your kind hates inu but I am certain you do not condone rape.” Asuna said shaking.

 

“What do you mean?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“No matter. My wrists are snapped and my silks torn. I know you hate Touga but could you please see past that and help me?” She asked harshly.

 

He called on Akemi and he stepped back. This man was younger and not the same one who had given into passion. She was glad in a way and she could go back to disliking him. Akemi yelped when she saw Asuna and she helped up her taller cousin. Asuna grimaced and she was lead inside. Ryukotsusei was bothered by her words and he followed at a more staid pace. His long white-blue hair was down and he wore informal robes. It was ironic but his little mate had been rather amorous and she was undressing him. His pale hazel eyes blinked and he listened carefully.

 

“Suna! What happened? Cousin you are bleeding!” She said horrified.

 

“Say nothing.” Asuna said sinking to a futon.

 

“Who did this to you?” Akemi demanded.

 

“The hatred is justified Akemi. I am a warrior. I know this and this era is not my own. I will work in the confines of such.” She said breathing deeply.

 

“Ryukotsusei will not tolerate this! He does not allow his men to rape onna. He will kill whoever did this.” She said shaking her.

 

“No. You will leave it alone.” She snapped.

 

Akemi saw her cousin roll to her side and she stormed out of the room. She saw her mate in the hall and he looked concerned.

 

“Someone violated her! Someone hurt her Ryu! She is bleeding.” Akemi said in anger.

 

“Did she say it was a dragon?” he asked calmly.

 

“Excuse me? She supported us Ryu! She brought me back to you!” She raged.

 

“Akemi before I execute someone I will know that they did the crime. I would be remiss if I did my heart.” Ryukotsusei said with a raised brow.

 

“Talk to her! I am getting Rena.” She said storming away.

 

Her appearance unsettled him and without her markings she looked more like the onna he had killed. It bothered him greatly. Ryukotsusei walked into the room and he found the onna sitting up and she was sobbing. The blood on the futon was horrendous and she was hemorrhaging. Asuna was screaming in agony and nodding no.

 

“Onna! Oh Kamis.” He said horrified.

 

He ran to the door and yelled for Akemi and Rena. The ancient dragoness ran in and she saw the blood. She could smell the toxin of a fire dragon and she laid the onna back.

 

“My lord! My bag please and I need my herbs my lady.” She commanded.

 

“Healer? Please tell me.” Asuna said through her sobs.

 

“You are miscarrying badly my lady. Calm yourself. I will care for you.” She said brushing her hair back.

 

“Amedeo. I am so sorry.” She whispered in agony as Rena laid her back.

 

“Who did this?” Ryukotsusei demanded in fury.

 

“Ryo. He said his name was Ryo.” She whispered as she shut her eyes and tears fell.

 

Ryukotsusei stormed from the castle and Akemi yelled after him. She saw the look of anger on his handsome face and the red was in trouble.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ryukotsusei made his way through the palm forest and his anger was mounting. This evil deed should not have happened and he yelled out for Ryo. The red dragon came forward and bowed low.

 

“How could you?” He demanded.

 

“How could I what my lord?” Ryo asked shocked.

 

“The inu onna! You did something to her!” Ryukotsusei raged.

 

“She steps foot in these lands! How dare an inu step foot in your lands!” he said looking outraged.

 

“I am not the Mizuchi! I do not allow the raping of onna. What did you do?” he said as his eyes flashed red.

 

“She is an inu whore and I treated her as such. I did not rape her my lord. I only touched her.” He said defiantly.

 

“Your claws infected her. She was pregnant you fool and she has lost her young. You will answer for your crime.” He said bluntly.

 

“She lied and said she was related to your mate!” He said in defense of himself.

 

“She did not lie Ryo. She is the first cousin of my mate. They are as sisters.” Ryukotsusei snarled.

 

Ryo bowed his head and his lord was furious. He realized he was mostly likely going to be executed and he bowed.

 

“I take my punishment my lord. I apologize to you and our lady. I allowed my hate of the inu in general to cloud my judgment.” He said.

 

“Hai you did.” He said very angry.

 

Ryo bowed and waited. Ryukotsusei could not make up his mind and he pointed to the castle.

 

“You will beg her forgiveness before I doll out your punishment.” The dragon lord commanded.

 

Ryo nodded and he actually felt guilt. He knew the way to the castle and they both walked slowly. The scene that played out before Ryukotsusei made him ill. Asuna was devoid of much color and Rena was trying to stop the bleeding.

 

“Give me your toxin!” She snarled at Ryo.

 

The red was shaking and the blood was horrendous. Akemi was shaking in fear and she glared at the man she had known for a few years.

 

“How could you? How could you?” She asked in rage.

 

“My lady! I am so sorry.” He said in shame.

 

“Kemi.” Asuna whispered with parched lips.

 

“Hai? Suna what? What can I do?” She begged.

 

“No anger. Enough anger. Mistake.” She breathed out.

 

“Damn it!” Rena snarled.

 

“What does she need?” Ryukotsusei demanded.

 

“Blood! Lots of blood.” His healer said shaking her head.

 

Akemi sliced her arm and pressed it to Asuna's mouth who in turn bit in. She was drinking in desperation to get into a death sleep and Akemi fell back and stared at her mate.

 

“Give her your blood.” She demanded.

 

He knelt by her and cut his wrist with his claw and Asuna was breathing hard. His eyes were tortured she realized and his face was serene.

 

“Do not punish him. Do not make an example of him. Tell him to learn a lesson. You learned a lesson did you not?” She asked barely above a whisper.

 

“He killed your babe!” He stated coldly.

 

“This war continues to destroy. Do not let it. Please Ryukotsusei. Let Sorami's death mean something.” Asuna whispered.

 

He made a wounded noise and he pressed his wrist to her mouth. Ryo had no clue what was going on but he realized the onna he had harmed had just pleaded for and saved his life. Soon her mouth fell away from Ryukotsusei's mouth and she looked dead. Akemi screamed and Rena listened carefully.

 

“No! She is breathing but barely. I hear her heart beat but very slowly.” She said amazed.

 

“Please have her moved and made comfortable Rena. Ryo! You will come to the main hall.” He stated.

 

Akemi stayed with her cousin and Ryo followed his lord who was trembling. He whirled on the other man and had his hand on his throat tightly. Ryukotsusei slammed him against the wall and his eyes were blood red.

 

“You will live this day but you no longer serve me! I will honor her request but you will be banished from my sight. I will not live with the knowledge that the Taisho is better then any of my dragons!” He roared.

 

Ryo blanched and Ryukotsusei dropped him. He stormed from his own castle. He had to clear his head and he stormed to the beach. His chest heaved and her words made his heart pound too fast and his head ache. Tears actually fell from his eyes and the memory of having murdered a pregnant onna still haunted his dreams.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rena was amazed and she watched the cousin of their sweet lady get better everyday. Within a week her color was much better and on the eighth day, she woke up. Asuna said nothing and she would go back and get herself pregnant she decided. She would not disappoint Amedeo that way, she could not. She made her heavy muscles move and she had to speak to Ryukotsusei and move on. Akemi was hovering and she kissed her cousin's head.

 

“He has been gone a few days. Your being here has shaken him up.” She stated.

 

“Where is he?” Asuna asked.

 

“Kume. Why are you here Asuna?” She asked softly.

 

“My enemy has come and he is planning on causing issue. Ryukotsusei made himself known to Maec. I cannot allow him to interfere.” She said palming her cheeks and kissing her forehead.

 

“You are too good. Thank you. He goes to Kume when he is upset. His mother is buried there.” She stated.

 

“I see. Thank you cousin.” She said hugging her tightly.

 

She ported to Kume and the memories were making her blush. She lifted her nose and scented out the dragon lord. Ryukotsusei was on his knees. He wore brown and tan hakama and inner haori. His outer robe was splendid with embroidery in gold and varied silk. It was a rich chocolate brown and he turned his head to gaze at her. His hair was all down and wisps of it were in his face. The wind blew softly on the island and their eyes met.

 

“You are awake.” He stated softly.

 

“Hai. I came here to warn you of an insidious enemy. He came back to try and interfere.” Asuna said.

 

“And my soldier harmed you. I have no words Lady Asuna. I did as you asked and his life was spared but I banished him.” He said in great shame.

 

“I will figure it out.” Asuna remarked.

 

“The guilt is killing me.” Ryukotsusei stated as she looked past him.

 

“I have moved past her death my lord but there are many lessons in her life. You have looked past your own hatreds and taken Akemi as your mate. You have a good start. You have a beautiful child. Let that guide you.” She said touching his cheek which she realized was a mistake.

 

He stared at her and heat flooded her cheeks. Ryukotsusei pressed his own hand to her cheek and stared at her.

 

“Your being here is making me weak. I only wish to remove this self hatred.” He admitted.

 

“I cannot help you with that. I only come to stop an enemy. This is old issue for you and not my problem anymore. I have made peace with my past.” She said gently.

 

“I have not. You are so warm.” He said shocked.

 

“You are beautiful and Akemi is a lucky onna. You are a good man my lord and you need to move on. It is over and you have a life ahead of you.” Asuna said staying calm.

 

“Your face still haunts me. I saw you stagger away. You lay in each other's arms and I knew I had done something so horrendously evil. Please! Help me.” He asked clutching her arms.

 

Ryukotsusei was trembling and he had no clue what came over him. He heard her gasp and he heard her groan. He dumbly became aware that he was seeking comfort and his tongue was languidly moving against hers. She made such a wounded noise and his mouth left open mouth kisses on her throat.

 

“Lord Ryukotsusei no. This not what need. Stop please.” She cried out barely coherent.

 

“Hai.” He said softly grazing her clavicle.

 

She had come with only a yukata on and she felt stupid. This man was a huge mistake on many levels. His hands supported her upper back on her shoulder blades and her yukata was open. It had happened fast and in a passionate cloud. His tongue flicked against a nipple and she was groaning. Asuna was trying to be clear headed and his wonderful mouth made it impossible.

 

“Ryukotsusei!” She groaned out in a low hum.

 

She felt herself ported and she grew dizzy. His mouth was busy and she realized what it was with him. He was a dragon and his sense of taste was heightened. His lips lingered on her stomach and she could hear his thoughts of her loss. She began to shake because she knew he was going to taste her. She lifted her head to say no and his tongue slipped inside of her. She grabbed the silk on the futon and it was so good. He made her feel so good as the point of his tongue touched and stroked her walls. His arm lay across her lower abdomen to keep her from wiggling and she whined loudly as he made her come. He did not stop and continued to stroke his tongue.

 

“L-lord Ryu-kotsusei.” Asuna screamed.

 

He was lost in his own memories and self hatred as he tried to satiate the sudden hunger that overwhelmed his good sense. Her velvety walls tasted so heavenly and her cries were getting thinner and she was practically gushing. Ryukotsusei lifted his mouth and moved to hers. He kissed her and she was snarling softly into the lip lock. He undid his clothes and smoothly kicked out of them. His lips moved along her throat and she was loosing her mind.

 

“Why this way? Why so beautiful?” She whimpered.

 

“I do not understand.” Ryukotsusei murmured drawing his leg along hers.

 

She could not speak and her head fell back a little. His fingers brushed down form her chin to her sternum. It was so incredibly gentle that she began to tremble powerfully. He wished her markings showed and she was groaning harder. He kissed her arched throat and her mouth fell open as he moved her thighs wider. He lay on his back and he moved her with him. She was so pliant and so utterly passionate. One hand threaded in her long silver hair and Ryukotsusei moved her onto him.

 

“Kamis.” She whispered against his lips.

 

He leaned up and his hips moved. Her soft cries were met by his incredible mouth and the dragon lord moved his hips only back and forth. Ryukotsusei kissed all along her mouth and throat as he made something other than sex with her. She was coming undone along every nerve and the dragon was making her stupid nuts. His private sensuality was hidden by his tough exterior and she was in major danger. He continued to move against her clutching heat as she spasmed and he was loosing control as well. He felt other then the horrendous self hatred and he did not want it to stop. Ryukotsusei took her mouth and kissed her harder and with more need. He grabbed one hand in his and laced his fingers in hers. His grip was powerful and she could feel him getting tenser. He withdrew from her mouth and he grit his teeth as he forced himself to keep moving. He moved his hand laced in hers to her clit and massaged in time to his agonizing thrusts.

 

“Need off. Ryukotsusei! Kamis shit please. Oh Kamis.” She groaned out as her orgasm hit her suddenly.

 

She heard him snarl through his clenched teeth and his grip on her body was harsh as he went rigid. His hips were thrust up into her as he shook from the beautiful and powerful end. Asuna was quaking as he gently laid her back. He watched her twitch a little and she was trying to breathe. It occurred to her that he was not drained. It occurred to her that he was not even affected by her at all. She knew Akemi tired him out but that was in a future era. Asuna's eyes were closed as her body continued to feel after shocks from the strong climax. He was getting his own breathing under control and he made himself move over her.

 

“Forgive me. Kamis please forgive me.” He said meeting her eyes.

 

She nodded and could say nothing as he held her chin in a gentle grip.

 

“I truly have no clue what came over me.” Ryukotsusei admitted.

 

“Will be okay. I will go. I only came to warn you.” She said trying to get herself under control.

 

“Warn me? You came to warn me?” The dragon said feeling worse.

 

“Hai. Must go. Where is my yukata?” Asuna asked forcing herself to sit up.

 

Ryukotsusei gave her his outer robe. He stood up and went to an armoire and pulled out a black obi. He helped her tie it around her waist.

 

“Lady Asuna please do not run away.” He asked pulling on his own clothes.

 

“Must.” She trembled.

 

“What is wrong?” He asked pulling her to him and she shook in his arms.

 

“Need to pass out.” She whispered.

 

“Then do not be foolish. Lay down. You are part blood drinker, no?” He asked.

 

She nodded and he bared his wrist. Asuna shook her head no and his claws lightly massaged her scalp.

 

“I took you. Please do not make it worse. Please allow me to give you assistance.” Ryukotsusei stated in a harsh tone.

 

She opened her mouth and she slipped her fangs into his proffered skin. His gasp was loud and the pleasure more intense then what Akemi did. He moaned out and his hand massaged her scalp more and threaded in her hair. His blood was so powerful that she was seeking it more. Asuna forced herself away from his wrist and she cried out.

 

“Must go.” She staggered.

 

“Asuna!” He cried as she ported away.

 

She was in a forest near the Western palace and she began to sob. She hit the tree behind her with her fist over and over as she re-broke her wrist. She could not allow this thing to continue and it would destroy her.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He was maddened. He was also being stupid. Akemi was a wreck and he had to find her. She had left and he was in the West and spying. He heard metal clanging and he saw Touga fighting her. Asuna had seen Maec briefly and it had been ugly. There was a hole in the Western Palace at the moment and now she was making Touga train to fight a wraith. The Taisho had to admit the soul of his sister was an excellent warrior. She moved with finesse and her blows were powerful.

 

“Touga! Damn it do not hold back!” She snarled at him.

 

“Sister, I am sorry. It is difficult for me to spar you.” He growled.

 

“Pansy ass pussy boy!” Asuna growled.

 

His eyes flashed at her mouth and he swung Tetsaiga around and hit Konkisaiga. She ducked and parried as she struck the fang of her own grandsire. She realized she sensed him but she said nothing. She continued to fight against the Taisho and other inu watched fascinated. Natsumi watched in hatred but Asuna kept her markings covered. She allowed her nami dagger to appear and she fought with both blades.

 

“You have two yoki weapons?” He asked astonished.

 

“Hai. Developed this whilst I was pregnant with my youngest son. His name is Yuichi.” She said ducking.

 

“How?” Touga asked ducking her blows.

 

“His sire is a being called a shinigami. Too long to explain. Step back Touga.” She said.

 

Asuna unleashed a nami from her hand and his mouth dropped. Ryukotsusei took note of her yoki and she lifted her hand back and the current similar to his own raigekidan crackled and she unleashed it. A tree exploded and Touga clapped.

 

“Tetsaiga is an air fang brother.” Asuna explained.

 

“I see. Bravo! So why does this creature wish to mess up your timeline?” Touga asked sitting.

 

“Because he is a prick and he enjoys making those he deems get in his way, suffer.” She snapped.

 

“Have you got in his way?” He asked.

 

“He got me pregnant Touga! I bore him a child and I am supposed to let him have him and give myself to his perversions. He wants me on his terms despite the fact I detest his ways.” She said with crossed arms.

 

“Good Kamis! Anything good about him?” He asked frowning.

 

“The sex.” She retorted.

 

Her former brother snorted and busted out laughing. Ryukotsusei was angry and the idea of this being made him see red.

 

“I was gone for a week because I miscarried. Ran afoul with a wild dragon.” She lied.

 

“What? Why did you not say anything?” He demanded.

 

“Because I should not have lost this babe. Amedeo, my basilisk mate is a former king in ancient Italy. He let his male genitalia do his thinking and he kidnapped the wife of another serpernt. They were in love and they had many children and Mochrie did abuse her. Long story short; the wyvern got his revenge and destroyed Latium. Amedeo left and now slumbers on Miyako.” She said wistfully.

 

Ryukotsusei was stunned and he listened more closely.

 

“A serpernt? Are you nuts?” Her brother-grandsire asked.

 

“No. He is wonderful and he is very good. He likes your memory. He always said he wanted to meet you.” Asuna smiled.

 

“Why?” He growled.

 

“Oh Touga! Good Kamis. I am not full inu and you forget that. Idiot.” She said hitting his knee.

 

“You should find a good inu male and fornicate often. Make many pups and never leave the West!” Touga snapped.

 

“Well I have a couple. Tekeshi of course and Hideaki.” She thought.

 

“Who? You took Hideaki to mate? He is really young in this era!” He growled even more.

 

“Touga! He is the West's general in the future and Chichi really likes him. Lord Kamis almighty. He is a good man and amazing.” She snapped.

 

They continued to chat and Ryukotsusei came away with tons of information. He was also seething in irrational jealousy. The onna he had carelessly copulated with was a succubus but he was certain it was not like that between them. He went to his old historians and he requested information they had on the Western house. They assumed it was to start an attack and he wanted to know more of Sorami. He read in private and by the end of the week the self hatred was back in spades. He could not have murdered a more innocent onna. He made love to his mate often and he was obsessed. He adored and loved Akemi with his whole soul. Ryukotsusei firmly began to believe his punishment for his sins was to fall in love with the onna he had killed. He never drank heavily but he was now. Ryuu noticed his brother steadily consuming and he handed the scroll to his younger brother.

 

“Do you remember the onna who nearly bled out here?” He whispered.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“She is the Lady Sorami reborn. Akemi's cousin is the onna I killed.” Ryukotsusei stated downing another shot of sake.

 

“Brother! That happened almost two hundred years ago. Let it go.” Ryuu implored him.

 

“How can I? Did you see her? She lied to that bastard the Taisho. She said she miscarried because of a wild dragon.” He said staring into the fire blazing.

 

He did not need the fire; he just liked them. He had this castle built within his first five years that he had become the lord. He had moved the capital from Kume to its present location on Shikoku. The kumo used to have a palace at Matsuyame but no more.

 

“You will destroy yourself. You have a wonderful mate. A beautiful son and the love of our people. You are conquering lands and solidifying things for us. Brother! Let it go. You are a warrior lord and things happen.” His younger brother stated.

 

He said nothing else and only stared at the alluring and licking flames of the fire in his study. He was haunted and finally stood up.

 

“I go to the shore. I will hunt in the ocean.” He stated as he ported out.

 

Akemi and his son slept in their futon and he felt like feeling the salt water against his skin. He hated his father; he hated his memory and he felt as though he had become him. He was undoing his plain white haori and hakama as he felt her behind him.

 

“You came to the West.” She stated.

 

“You felt my aura?” Ryukotsusei asked turning his head.

 

“Hai.” Asuna whispered.

 

“The Taisho did not?” He asked flatly.

 

“No. I masked what little there was.” She said trembling.

 

“I hurt. I am a monster.” He said moving away from her spot.

 

“Why?” She demanded fiercely.

 

He did not wish to speak and he heard her begin to growl loudly. He whirled around and she was looking off in the distance.

 

“What do you see?” he demanded.

 

“Maec!” She growled.

 

She let her fang appear and Maec was smirking at her from the shadows.

 

“Oh my darling Isha. Such a mystery these islands are! I am shocked at the power that sprouts from these grounds. Filthy corporeal.” He said coming from the shadows.

 

Ryukotsusei narrowed his eyes and the onna was growling.

 

“We are not facing the wyvern now my dear enemy. This is us right now. Mother to my son. You want the wyvern dead so badly.” He taunted.

 

“You swore it Maec!” She said as her yoki began to become visible around her.

 

“Yes, I did and I shall. I have more knowledge to glean. That creature is not normal. I shall delight in learning all there is. I shall delight in ripping your past open!” He said.

 

She shrieked and she jumped him. Ryukotsusei watched her begin to punch and snarl. Maec threw her off and pulled his own blade. They began to fight and it was dizzying to see. Ryukotsusei was horrified to see the bastard fight dirty but the inu onna countered him with her powerful attacks. She arced and slashed Maec and caught him with Dakkasou. Maec went to move towards Ryukotsusei and Asuna moved in front of him. She was impaled and she choked on blood. The dragon seemed to wake up out of his stupor and he released a quick succession of raigekidan. Maec was hit squarely and he shrieked as it burned him over his torso. Ryukotsusei was astonished and normally his enemies just became dust under the intense electrical current and heat. Maec narrowed his eyes and he phased out. He grabbed Asuna's shoulders and helped lower her to the ground.

 

“Really hate that bastard.” She shuddered.

 

“I will get Rena.” He said concerned.

 

“Use your raigekidan to seal it.” She whispered.

 

“I have never done so.” Ryukotsusei said feeling her blood soak his hakama.

 

He allowed the yoki energy to flow and he pressed his hand to her wound. She hissed and groaned a little in pain as he sealed it and his body was alive and felt like on fire. He picked her up and he ported to his castle. He laid her in front of the fire in his study and he left to find Rena. Ryukotsusei was shaking and he found the dragoness and she was helping to birth a youngling. She ran with her lord and they appeared in his study. She neared the inu princess and opened the wound and began to close it up with thread and needle after she cleaned it. Rena called for some blankets and a futon mat to be brought to the study. Soon Asuna was made to be comfortable and she was drowsy.

 

“You have widow.” She groaned softly.

 

“Hai. We trade the kumo for it and we give them rights to fish small villages near here.” Rena explained.

 

“Thank you.” She whispered.

 

“Hai get well.” Rena mumbled.

 

Ryukotsusei watched the onna who had delivered him leave and his chest was heaving a little.

 

“I shall go now. Rest please and I will be available if you need anything.” He stated turning to leave.

 

“Ryukotsusei?” Asuna called out.

 

“Hai?” He said feeling heavy.

 

“Thank you.” She said as he looked down at her.

 

He walked over to the makeshift futon and sank to his knees. His eyes were tortured and liquid as he met hers. Asuna was tired of seeing his pain and she sat up with a grimace. She was barely covered by a blanket and he pulled the material away a little.

 

“I am falling and I do not know how to stop.” He said staring at her eyes.

 

“Falling how?” She asked terrified.

 

“I think you know. I think you know because you feel the same.” Ryukotsusei said with shaking hands.

 

“Cannot do this.” Asuna muttered.

 

“You react onna. What has happened between you and me?” He demanded breathing in harshly.

 

“This. It has happened a couple of times and we swore to stop. You feel guilt over a dead inu princess and I am drawn to you. It is insanity and it will destroy us both and we know it.” She said feeling so much fear.

 

“I know what this is. You think that my guilt makes me seek you.” He stated in a low voice.

 

“Hai.” She said barely able to handle his intense gaze.

 

“Gather your blanket, please. Can you walk?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

She maneuvered but he saw flesh. His groin was tight and he made himself calm down. Asuna wrapped the blanket around her.

 

“Stay here a moment. I will return.” Ryukotsusei mumbled.

 

He walked to his bedroom and Akemi was still fast asleep. Ryuu his son was tucked in next to her. He knelt next to his mate and kissed along her ear. She moaned softly and he whispered his love. He told her he would return soon but wished to see to his mother's shrine. She nodded and his wanderings were not unusual. He grabbed one of his yukata because Asuna was tall and Akemi so tiny. He returned and she had waited. He undid the blanket and he tried to keep his eyes averted but it traveled down her throat to her breasts. Ryukotsusei's gaze slowly went down her stomach to her apex of her thighs.

 

“Here.” He said helping her put on the yukata.

 

“Ryukotsusei.” Asuna said with a shaky voice.

 

“Say nothing. I have little control. Your voice is sending shivers down my spine and I can almost taste your skin.” The dragon lord admitted.

 

Asuna nodded and he ported them to a splendid shrine. There was a likeness of a beautiful onna and she gasped as she neared it.

 

“That was my mother.” He said as she touched the painting.

 

“She was lovely!” She cried out as she looked at him.

 

She stared at a likeness that depicted a lithe, elf like onna who had flowing white-blue hair. Her eyes were as blue as the water on a clear day. Her features were soft and feminine as a smile graced her lips. She wore a white and red formal kimono.

 

“Hai. She was a beautiful onna. I loved her very much. My sire would return from his battles and beat her. She threw herself in front of Ryuu and me to protect us. When we came of age; he had beaten her so severely that she asked me to help her kill herself. I could not refuse her last request. She had tried to endure for us. He humiliated and ruined her. I held the knife and helped to plunge it into her heart.” Ryukotsusei admitted.

 

“Would she have lived?” Asuna asked horrified.

 

“No. She was broken terribly. I hated him so much. I was relieved when you and the kumo killed him but I was also terrified. The hatred I felt for him overcame my sense. I killed her in mercy and I killed you in fear. I have killed two onna in my life that I know it will damn my soul. The Kamis have brought you back into my life to show me what a coward I was. I wanted you to see this to perhaps understand. Why I do not know but those two things are the worst things I have ever done.” He said wiping his eyes.

 

Asuna was affected. She moved to him slowly and he looked away. She turned his face towards hers. She nudged his nose with hers and he breathed out. She ported them this time back to the old castle on Kume. The inu princess was in a trance as she undressed him and he was trying to catch his breath. He knew to stop her but he did not want to. She bared his body and she pressed her mouth to his skin. She was unleashed and it was powerful. He wrapped his arms around her as she kissed his hard lines and beautiful skin. Ryukotsusei allowed himself to moan out as she hungrily took his skin in her hungry mouth and nipped and sucked. His flat nipples were sensitive and she laved her tongue. Normally he was controlled but he lost it with her.

 

“Not good idea.” He whispered out as he made her look at him.

 

“Do not want to stop.” Asuna cried.

 

“You are injured.” Ryukotsusei said brushing her lips with his thumb.

 

She walked him slowly backwards to his futon. He lay down as he met the furniture with his legs. She laid him flat and she wrapped her hand around him. His eyes closed as she touched him. Ryukotsusei made himself not move and she watched his face. This was emotional to him and her sense went out the window.

 

“Please do not hold back. So beautiful. I want to see you. Please let me see you.” She begged as she worked his male flesh.

 

“No control.” Ryukotsusei said arching in her grasp.

 

“Very little myself. I only want to see you in the throes of paradise.” Asuna said in an unrecognizable voice.

 

He whispered groans as this goddess touched him. She kissed her way down his chest to his belly and he bowed and withered a little. Asuna left feverish touches against his straining flesh and his hands clutched his silk bed clothes. Her mouth closed over his staff and he reacted. Asuna could not get over what a passionate man he was. His reactions were so full of everything that it drove her over the edge. She took him with her mouth slowly so that he would get closer. She touched everywhere and massaged him to bring him to heights. Ryukotsusei hated himself for feeling this way and her ministrations were making his inner beast wild. She refused to tease him or play games. The face he gave when he erupted made her moan and she trembled. He was dazed and the inu princess had made him love to him using her mouth. His eyes were red and he feared if he took that he would do something he would regret. His beast shut down his rational thoughts. It wanted to taste and he pried her lips apart. Ryukotsusei's tongue tasted his seed in her mouth and it made him crazier. He opened her wide and he dropped his mouth to taste her. She was so wet. She was so aroused and in need. He suckled her with desperation to see her this time. He suckled her so that she would release and he could taste her delicious high. Her hands had grabbed the wooden posts that held up the silk curtains and she screamed out. He slipped two fingers inside of her glorious inferno and sought to end her torture. He did not want to make her wait. She had brought him pleasure of immense proportions and his beast demanded that the onna have hers. Asuna was gasping and biting her lips. He could scent the metallic taste of blood in the air as she became wilder and thrashed. Ryukotsusei inserted his middle and ring fingers and sought her one spot. As he massaged it with some speed and force, she bucked against his hand and he saw her release. She screamed out in ecstasy as her body went into small pleasurable convulsions. He removed his fingers and dragged them gently against her walls and brought them to her lips. She hungrily and with animal like intensity sucked them into her mouth and devoured her own taste. Again he sought to taste their mingled scents and the kiss was passionate and brutal. It had started out slow but it had become too intense as their beasts took them over. Ryukotsusei ripped his mouth from hers after having sampled every crevice of her moist mouth he could.

 

“Need to stop. Have to stop.” He snarled out as he tried to tear himself from her arms.

 

“No. Please no. Do not stop. Never stop.” She said shaking her head wildly.

 

“I will claim you. I am loosing every last shred of thought.” He growled out rather loudly.

 

Asuna's fingers touched his lips and she was too lost in her body's own massive need.

 

“Do not understand. I will lay you underneath me and I will take you until I mark you. I can take you in my true form onna. I am dragon.” He said throwing his head back and snarling out.

 

Asuna turned her jaw to the side and he growled. This inu bitch was submitting to him. An inu was submitting to the lord of all Japanese dragons. He took her jugular and sank his jaws in deeply. Her cries rocked him and his rational mind was gone as their bodies united. Her thighs were wrapped around his hips and she met his wild thrusts. Asuna was mindlessly crying out and he was growling and refusing to release her throat. He could only think to reach completion and make his mark stay. He would allow her to mark him before his end and he then remembered nothing.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke up still in the middle of the night and memories of the last few hours hit her like a ton of bricks. She felt her neck and a rather prominent set of teeth marks were healing. She got up and stumbled and found a small mirror. She went to a doorway and the moonlight spilled in.

 

“Oh shit!” She said dropping her jaw.

 

Ryukotsusei came awake and he saw her staring at a looking glass. He also saw what he had done. He made himself stay calm and he had never in his life been a whoremonger and he had never strayed from his mating. This was a big no no amongst dragons. They had made love; he had to call it what it was and they had unleashed their primitive natures.

 

“It can be removed. I can have it removed.” She said as if in a chant.

 

“Pardon?” He asked.

 

“It can be removed. It was just an act of out of control beasts.” Asuna stated as if to convince herself.

 

“Do you really believe that?” Ryukotsusei asked softly.

 

“Hai. No. Please do not ask me that.” She said as if trapped.

 

“What are you doing?” He asked as she panicked.

 

“Cannot think. I should not have done this. I am so wrong for this. So wonderful and you are but I cannot. I am a fucking whore!” She snarled out.

 

He sat back and he was shocked at her vehemence. She found the yukata and she dressed. She had marked him as well and it was not in Akemi's spot either.

 

“Onna!” Ryukotsusei snapped.

 

“Asuna! My name is Asuna. I am not Sorami or onna. My name is ASUNA!” She yelled at him.

 

He launched himself from the futon and he wrapped his arms around her waist. The dragon lord held her calmly and he nuzzled the mark. She calmed and he was amazed. She was more youkai then he was used to and he used his tongue along the marks.

 

“Asuna.” He whispered.

 

“I am going to love you. I am falling in love with you.” Asuna said with shut eyes.

 

“I am in love with you. Do you not understand that this is my penance for my crime?” Ryukotsusei said fiercely.

 

“I do not see it that way. I think Fate has a fucked sense of humor.” She growled.

 

“Onna do not be so brash with your statements.” He sighed.

 

“Do not be so superstitious.” She said in an ill temper.

 

“Do not be impertinent please. Please?” He demanded.

 

“Okay. What do we do?” Asuna demanded.

 

“We lessen the marks. It can be done. I refuse to have it removed.” He said softly in her ear.

 

“Are you nuts?” She asked.

 

“No.” He growled.

 

His fingers slipped through her nest of curls and she leaned her head back. He massaged her node and she groaned.

 

“Stupid hope of mine; I hope you bear in your womb my child.” Ryukotsusei stated in a tone of voice that was odd for him.

 

“Why?” She asked getting loopy.

 

“I want a daughter. I have to stop lying to myself about my past. I destroyed a beautiful onna but I have obsessed about her everyday since I did it. I love my mate but I am madly in love with you. I need you; do you not see?” He said moving his finger faster.

 

“You wish to keep us secret. You are willing to go against your own instincts to have me.” She arched against him.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“Oh Kamis. You sinister bastard. You know too much about my kind.” Asuna gasped out.

 

“I only surmise. I do not tire around you. Why is that?” He asked.

 

“I do not know. Same thing with my sire and my mother. I do not know.” She said flooding his hand.

 

“I have a theory. I listened intently as you talked to that bastard inu. I know of your sire's birth. You state that the fang Tetsaiga is an air weapon. You are an air elemental. Akemi told me that your sire has a yoki attack called the Dragon Strike?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She rasped.

 

“I believe it is all how you interact with your others. Your yoki reacts fluidly to combine or repel. If they repel then there is a possible drain. If you unite with similar creatures then there is combining. I could be wrong and it just could be that we are a good fit.” He said brushing fingers along her cheek bone.

 

“This is not right and we know it.” She said nuzzling his hand.

 

“I know. I know Asuna but I am overwhelmed. I refuse to give her up and I refuse to give you up. I am wrong but I am already going to burn in hell.” Ryukotsusei snarled.

 

Asuna realized she was his mistress and it made her incensed. She was a marked whore but his whore none the less. She grew wrathful and she jerked away from him. He stepped in front of her and Akemi had never stated that he was stubborn. She knew he was powerful but to face him on such a personal level. The shoe was on the foot so to speak and it was a bitter pill she realized.

 

“I have to go.” Asuna said hoarsely.

 

“I need you.” Ryukotsusei stated softly.

 

“You do not understand who or what I am. Damn it this is wrong!” She said wiping her eyes.

 

She ported out and she was in the West. She was in the Western palace as she made herself get her clothing. She refused to be around him and she had to find Maec.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maec was fascinated watching the powerful Inu no Taisho. It put a cramp in his style when Isha hunted him like a mad woman. It also became clear that she was quite with child. It was fascinating to him because she hid it like crazy. She had also had him use his kemuri on a mark to mar it but not remove it. Devious bitch had conned him into that one. He was betting she had slept with her cousin's mate and the tart had gotten knocked up with his brat. The only catch was that the bastard was a legendary daemon. Ryukotsusei was to be feared. He was watching the Western Lord and she was growling again like a rabid little dog and he glared down at her.

 

“What have I done exactly except watch?” he asked smirking.

 

“I hate you.” She snapped.

 

“Shut the fuck up! Come up with something original Isha. Say, I wish to rip your entrails and suck the blood from your man parts. Please my dear! Be original.” He said rolling his eyes.

 

“I still hate you.” Asuna said using her telekinesis and throwing him against a tree.

 

He hissed in pain and stared at her hotly.

 

“Seen your dragon as of late?” He asked.

 

“No. I have no intentions of it either. Go back to your time and help me with Drostan like you said.” She growled putting up her fist.

 

Maec rushed her and he pressed his hand to her belly. He felt a very strong aura and he stared at her.

 

“A daughter? I wonder what ours would have looked like.” He said coldly.

 

“Your son killed her.” Asuna growled hoarsely.

 

“I know. I will make him suffer for it. He has been elusive.” He snapped.

 

“He has been in history dumb ass.” She rolled her eyes.

 

“Has he? How very interesting. Coward. Well I will have to keep that in mind. Is your dragon a good lover? How does it feel to be his mistress?” He asked grinning.

 

“Shut your stupid face Maec!” She said grabbing his cock and squeezing hard.

 

“Gods I love you.” He grimaced.

 

“That turned you on?” She asked horrified.

 

“Yes! I have told you darling pain can bring pleasure. You are the prude little whore. You see yourself as some dirty little thing and I keep trying to tell you that you are wraith. Do it again.” Maec said licking his lips.

 

She squeezed harder and this time he did yelp in pain. Asuna slapped him with her claws raking his neck and her Dakkasou leaked a little.

 

“You need to suck my cock bitch for hurting me.” He said grabbing her neck.

 

“Like hell I will. You will never have me again! The only thing you did was sire Takeo.” Asuna hissed wildly.

 

“Is that a challenge?” He asked crazily.

 

“No you stupid son of a bitch!” Asuna growled.

 

She struggled against him and he looked wild. Maec was grabbed by his neck and his claws tore into her throat. Ryukotsusei stood with the Shouten king dangling like a rag doll from his grip. His eyes were red and Asuna saw Ryuu the Elder further back.

 

“You dare to touch Japanese royalty?” He asked cocking his head to the side.

 

“You mean do I dare to touch your whore? She was mine first. Let me tell you a secret dragon; she has a female dragon in her belly now. She will probably try and keep you from her too. She keeps me from my heir.” Maec said coldly.

 

Ryukotsusei allowed his yoki to crackle in his other hand and Maec tried to fight his hold. This being's sheer will was staggering.

 

“Ryuu! Escort this inu into another area.” Ryukotsusei demanded.

 

Ryuu came forward and he took Asuna's arm. He guided her gently and she was growling loudly. Ryukotsusei turned his eyes to Maec and he was furious.

 

“I have had my historians on your kind. You are evil.” He said coldly.

 

“You are some sort of saint?” Maec asked grinning.

 

“No.” He growled.

 

“Tell you a secret dragon. We killed the same soul. I killed her as Isha and you killed her as Sorami. How good of you. Now what are you going to do?” He laughed.

 

He lost his temper and he became his true form and Maec was still in his grasp.

 

“Your tongue will be ripped from your mouth little man!” The dragon snarled.

 

Maec smiled cruelly and he phased out. Ryukotsusei looked around and he saw a shadowy being of immense size. He moved swiftly and released his energy bullets and it damaged the thing but Touga came upon the scene. The aura of Ryukotsusei had been felt and he had rushed. Maec heard “Kaze no Kizu” yelled and Ryukotsusei was slammed into by the attack of Tetsaiga. Asuna felt the yoki of the powerful katana and she jerked away from Ryuu. She ran and Touga was attacking both Maec and Ryukotsusei.

 

“Touga, NO!” She screamed.

 

He saw his grandpup-sister and she was screaming no. He actually let loose the Backlash Wave and she unleashed her own wind from Konkisaiga. The explosion of yoki threw her backwards and Ryukotsusei dove in his true form. She slammed into his body and he released the raigekidan at Touga.

 

“Onna! Asuna? Onna!” His noh mask spoke for him.

 

His serpentine body wound its way around her and Touga snarled like a madman.

 

“You sign your death sentence dragon! Was killing her the first time not enough? Was it?” The Taisho screamed.

 

Maec phased out and watched the fireworks over his little Isha.

 

“As usual inu you speak like an idiot!” The dragon scoffed.

 

“Unhand her! I will hunt you down and I will skin you alive! Unhand her!” Touga said with flaming eyes.

 

“I would never harm her again! This is one inu worth it. You on the other hand are just worth stuffing!” The noh stated in hate.

 

Touga snarled and he suddenly became his inu self. He came at the dragon lord and Ryukotsusei was busy trying to protect her tiny humanoid form. Touga suddenly scented her and he went wild. He sank his fangs deeply into the dragon and shook his head wildly. Ryukotsusei roared and the sound woke up Asuna. She saw the Taisho in his true form and she yelled. She scrambled for cover and changed form herself. She snarled wildly and Touga let Ryukotsusei go. The dragon fell to his side and Touga stalked and paced in front of Asuna. She was growling and snarling in return and the inu lord was suddenly on her and he was forcing her to submit. Asuna yelped and whined out. Touga was much larger and he was biting her ear. She yipped out and whimpered in pain as he growled in her ear. Ryukotsusei saw the inu lord punishing her and he whipping his tail and smacked the inu lord with it. Touga grabbed her throat in his jaws she gave high pitched whines in submission. Ryuu saw Ryukotsusei suffering and the inu princess was trapped by her lord. He ran to his brother and used all his yoki to port them gone. Touga transformed but he was still red eyed. Asuna too transformed and her neck was a mess. He had slammed every bit of yoki down on her and ripped her ear and strangled her neck. She did not doubt he was powerful. He grabbed her neck and walked her backwards as his rage did not cool.

 

“You fucked him? You fucked the dragon?” He snarled.

 

“Stop!” She said clawing at his hands.

 

“I am your lord whilst your are here. You are mine whilst you are in my era! You are inu Asuna! You are inu!” Touga said actually strangling her a little.

 

“Touga stop!” She said trying to breathe.

 

“You will abort it!” Touga said shaking her.

 

“No!” She said loosing consciousness.

 

“I am not giving you a choice.” He said loosing his head.

 

He strangled her into unconsciousness and his temper was not abating. He could not breathe and he had marked his own blood. He picked her up and took her to Yasu and he took her into the infirmary.

 

“She carries. Kill it. Kill it now!” He snarled.

 

“My lord?” Yasu said shocked.

 

“Abort the abomination in her womb. Do it old man or you will regret living.” He said snarling.

 

Yasu felt horrid but did as the young lord asked. He was being insane and her neck had purplish bruises on it and she had been brutally marked by an inu in true form. Touga was in a frenzy and he heard the Western lord snarl and hiss at the Western lady. He ended up killing the life within his daughter from another life.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Touga could not calm down. He knew this onna was strong willed but his will would not be thwarted in this area. He sat in the darkened room whilst she recovered from her forced abortion and his brutal submission of her. By old and ancient traditions; he could make her submit further. His own father had tried to do the same with the bitch Yumiko but she had refused to submit. The Inu no Taisho contemplated and he had consulted the ancient ways. He was THE most powerful inu lord and she was a bitch in his household. She would not go against his will. No matter how powerful she was. He had lost her once and he would not loose her a second time to the fucking lizard, Ryukotsusei. She was coming conscious and she blinked.

 

“Touga?” She rasped.

 

“Hai.” He said in a cold voice.

 

“Did you?” She asked in breaking voice.

 

“Hai.” He said without tone.

 

“How could you?” Asuna cried out.

 

“How could you?” Touga snarled.

 

“Touga!” She said feeling sobs wrack her body.

 

“You belong to this house. You are of my blood. You are mine! One way or another you are mine. He murdered you!” The Taisho said with profound hatred.

 

“It was so long ago! Touga, it happened so long ago.” She said in a weak voice.

 

“Not for me Asuna. You came back into my life and I knew that you were okay. I knew you lived on. I was okay with my fate because my beloved other half was alive. I could live knowing my beautiful twin was somewhere safe. Not with him, never with him!” Touga yelled.

 

His intensity was terrifying her and she rolled. She intended to get the hell away from him and he flattened her. He was snarled again in his beast and he was rasping.

 

“Mine! You are a bitch in my house!” He said in her ear.

 

“Touga stop!” She screamed.

 

“You belong to the West.” He said in a snarl.

 

“Stop!” She screamed trying to fight his tremendous strength.

 

“Mine.” He repeated.

 

“Touga please stop!” Asuna begged.

 

He scented her neck and he smelled males on her. It made him crazed as he could smell the dragon. Ryukotsusei had marked her flesh and he sank his fangs deeply into her neck. She was sobbing and he was loosing his mind. He had to mimic the act but not complete it. He was dominating her and showing her the inu way. Her blood was insanely addictive to his keen inu senses and she was clawing the floor. Touga would not release her and he was getting crazed. It was her blood he realized but he did not let go. He growled and snarled at her throat and she continued to claw at the floor but he was so freakishly strong. Her father had never done this. She felt him aroused but he did nothing. Asuna was terrified and he lay there like that for hours. When he released her; she crawled away to a corner.

 

“I love you. I love you enough to protect you from yourself.” He whispered in a tired voice.

 

“That turned you on!” She screamed.

 

“We are inu Asuna. If we were domesticated then I would have taken you. Do not be asinine.” Touga said rising.

 

“You marked me like I am yours to do with as you please!” Asuna snarled.

 

“You are mine. You were my sister in one life and now a grand pup I only dreamed of in this. Get over yourself onna. You are mine. We shared a womb at one time and we share BLOOD. Never forget that.” He said storming away.

 

“You bastard! I am glad he killed me! I am glad you abandoned me! I did not have to deal with you arrogant, sorry ass! My own sire would never treat me as such!” She screamed like a lunatic.

 

Touga turned and lost it. He shoved her against the wall and tears fell from his eyes.

 

“Shut up! I have suffered for centuries for what you said to me! I suffered for my arrogance as you call it! I can never love an onna the way I loved you. There is no one who knew me as you did! I hate my mate and anything else is just rutting. I sire this hanyou because I am so lonely and I seek out a ningen! Our Tengu is a release for me! Do you wish to know my dirty secrets Asuna? Do you?” Touga snarled.

 

She trembled and his eyes were haunted.

 

“You were my other half. Natsumi hates your memory. She hates you so I hate her. She knows that my sister was the love of my life. I do not mean to rut; I mean you were my heart. You were not supposed to leave me. You were not supposed to love someone else.” He yelled.

 

“It is not right.” She trembled.

 

“You can be away from your twin?” The Taisho demanded.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“Your death ruined me. I have to accept you as you are but I will never accept the dragon bastard! I will never accept the man who killed my heart!” He said coldly.

 

“Touga, you do not control me. No one does.” Asuna said getting herself under control.

 

“Like hell.” He said dangerously.

 

His hand was around her neck and his chest was tight. She was again terrified of him and he could see it on her face. Asuna suddenly shoved him off and she ported. She was in dragon lands and she slid down a tree. She sobbed uncontrollably and could not stop. Her body was battered and the void she felt was killing her. Asuna stood and walked slowly towards the castle. She made it there and Akemi saw her. She yelled when she saw her throat.

 

“Suna? Oh Kamis in hell! Suna?” She yelled.

 

“The Taisho. He was angry. He made me submit.” She said in a tired voice.

 

Ryukotsusei was tired and weak but he came into the main hall. His heart hammered when he saw her.

 

“Forced me to abort one of my mate's babe.” She whispered in a slight delirium.

 

“Ryuu!” Ryukotsusei roared.

 

“No! Ryu stop! Do not go after him. This is a family matter darling. He knows about Asuna. He knows about her history. You cannot interfere. Please stop!” Akemi begged.

 

“Cannot interfere.” Asuna stated.

 

“Oh really? I cannot interfere? Really? Watch me!” He snarled as he walked out.

 

Asuna sobbed and Akemi held her as she began to cry too. They held each other as they cried as their small world fell to pieces.

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

The battle was bloody between the two youkai lords. Both fought over one onna and Ryukotsusei was filled with rage born of the killing of his unborn. Touga was fighting for the stealing of his beloved sister in which he considered the same man taking her before. Ryukotsusei came home torn up and barely alive. Akemi tended him and Asuna huddled in a corner. He wanted to hold her and tell her that he beat him with his fists and torn him up.

 

“You need rest my heart. You idiot!” Akemi snarled.

 

“Not now Akemi.” He growled.

 

“Oh hai now Ryu! Now!” She snapped.

 

“I said not now!” Ryukotsusei screamed out.

 

Asuna lifted her face and he hurt for her and himself. He kept himself otherwise calm and let his eyes close.

 

“Attend your cousin onna. She suffers.” He said coldly.

 

Akemi was stunned and she stood up. She went to Asuna and pulled her up. She guided her to their chambers and laid her down on the futon. Her cousin was shaken up to her core and she felt like going to grandsire and knocking him in the head. The eldest child of Lord Sesshomaru was curled up and crying softly. She felt so saddened and helpless that she did not know what to do. She left her room and went back to Ryu.

 

“She needs something. I know not what she needs but she will fall apart. I have seen it before.” She whispered in his ear.

 

“What would you have me do? I fought for her honor Akemi.” He said opening his eyes.

 

“She needs something I cannot provide her my love! She is like my sister, do you understand? If Ryuu was hurt and in need, I would help him.” She said perplexed.

 

“Tell me onna what would you have me do?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“For now just go lay next to her. She may need powerful blood.” Akemi sighed.

 

She helped him up and he walked slowly into his room. He slipped into his own futon and Akemi made a rude noise. She made him spoon her and he looked at her oddly.

 

“She is half inu Ryu! She needs touch. Good Kamis. You would think she has cooties.” She said angry.

 

“You are my mate onna!” The dragon growled.

 

“Keep it up big boy and I will split you open and make you dinner for my fair cousin and you will have two onna.” She snorted.

 

“Do you not think I have done enough? Your grandsire is worthless and he is cruel. I have done more then enough.” He said angrily.

 

Akemi left and he cupped her chin. Tears stung his eyes and he made her look at him.

 

“Asuna? Can you wake up?” He asked softly.

 

“No.” She whimpered.

 

“Onna please. Do not shut down on me. What did he do?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“Killed my child.” Asuna whispered in a haunted tone.

 

He hated Touga but now it was absolute. He only held her and Akemi came in and made approving noises. He found it odd but he would allow it. Akemi moved back and forth and he spoke in hushed tones when she was out of the room.

 

“I have never feared him and I was terrified of him. He truly scared me.” She admitted.

 

“Why?” he asked softly.

 

“The intensity of his hate. He is so angry. Ryukotsusei, he is really powerful and he was so angry.” Asuna said crying.

 

“He will never lay a hand on you again. I will kill him.” He raged.

 

“He is still my grandsire.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“You forget what we have shared!” Ryukotsusei growled under his breath.

 

“I need to return to my own era and my pups. I cannot stay here.” She said jerking away from him.

 

“Did you want her?” He demanded softly.

 

“How can you ask me that?” Asuna asked in anguish.

 

“I have no idea. You defend him.” The dragon lord accused.

 

Asuna stumbled and she ran from him. She had brought the crystals and she was choking back pain. She did not care anymore if Maec rotted here. Asuna ported to the stash and she focused all her yoki. She broke one and walked through.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She appeared in the in between and Lei was horrified. He followed her and he was shocked at her appearance. Asuna could not speak and Hideaki bumped into her. He recognized immediately what her bruises and damage to her neck were. He grabbed her shoulders and she winced in pain.

 

“What happened? Who did this?” He asked in anger.

 

“Who did this?” Lei demanded.

 

“Stop.” She said with tear glazed eyes.

 

“Answer me Asuna! Who dared to do this to the Western heir and crown princess? Who?” He yelled.

 

“No.” Asuna said freaking.

 

She ported out and Lei stared at his inu buddy.

 

“What the hell was that?” He asked disgusted.

 

“That was an inu bitch made to submit by an alpha. I have to get Sesshomaru-sama.” Hideaki said flatly.

 

“Whoa! Get her father?” He said shocked.

 

“Hai. No one touches his heir as such and lives, no one.” He said bowing.

 

Hideaki ported to the palace and immediately went to the study of his friend. He knocked respectfully and Sesshomaru called enter. He walked in and bowed low.

 

“Hai General Hideaki?” Sesshomaru asked with a raised brow.

 

“My lord you need to see Asuna. My mate I mean.” He said under his breath.

 

“What is wrong?” He said rising immediately.

 

“Please Sesshomaru-sama. Please come.” Hideaki said.

 

He followed his long time friend and Hideaki knew she would go to the Kyoto castle. He was right and she was curled up sobbing. Sesshomaru was disturbed to see such a sight and he walked to her. She lifted her face and he snarled out.

 

“Who dared?” He growled out in a fury.

 

“Leave it be Chichi.” She whispered.

 

“Only this Sesshomaru has the right to make you submit as such and never would it happen in my house!” The Western lord raged in fury.

 

“Maec is awake. He returned to your very young years. I made the Taisho very angry and he thought to make me submit. I have never feared another Western inu ever. I feared him.” Asuna whimpered.

 

“The Taisho did this?” Hideaki asked in shock.

 

Sesshomaru was growling like he would if he faced Naraku. His father; his son of bitch, bastard father had touched his child. He had such ill feelings toward him anyway but to know that his own flesh and blood sire had raised a hand to his precious daughter made him livid and see blood.

 

“You will return this Sesshomaru so that we deal with the Shouten vermin.” He commanded.

 

“Chichi no! Please my lord leave it alone. I pissed Touga off. I must live with it.” She said sobbing.

 

“No one touches the heir to the Western Lands! No one!” He yelled.

 

“I get attacked all the time sir.” Asuna whispered.

 

“Not by this Sesshomaru's own sire!” He said coldly and it made her own blood run cold.

 

“Asuna, listen to your father and lord on this. Lord Sesshomaru is your inu lord and master, no one else. If you must be technical; the Taisho had no right. You are my lord's heir. You are in fact his bitch and in his pack.” Hideaki said gently.

 

She nodded and she rose. She went first to her sire who wrapped his arms around his child and held her tightly. He growled softly like he did when she was a pup and then he released her to her mate and his best friend. Sesshomaru would show the Shouten who had the power and he would teach the Inu no Taisho that touching his pup brought on severe consequences.
