Remembering Tears Long Shed

 

He watched her bend over to find her shoe. She was so independent and watching her bend over was such a pleasant experience. He hid his smirk and her gauze dress showed her lines perfectly. When she stood back straight the curve of her breast was apparent and he could see her nipple plainly. He could swear they seemed just a tad fuller; her nipples barely bigger. He realized he was salivating and his maleness was at attention. He moved without her hearing him and he grabbed her hips. He nuzzled her neck and she had gasped softly.

 

“Mmmm my Nia.” He growled in her ear.

 

“Sesshomaru.” She moaned so softly.

 

“Such a delicious sight. This Sesshomaru is very tempted.” Sesshomaru groaned softly.

 

“For what?” Nia asked.

 

He began to pull her dress up and instantly it was over her head and off. His hands cupped and lightly kneaded her breasts.

 

“I see.” She said breathless.

 

“You bent over for this Sesshomaru's perusal. Your backside was on display and begged for my touch.” He teased.

 

“I was?” She asked raising a brow.

 

“Hai. If you do not wish for my attention then do not bend over.” He growled softly.

 

“Mhmm okay big boy but Lady Besud has many things to do and I am talking to a brick wall.” She groaned as he bared his member.

 

“Brick wall no but mate in need, hai.” He smirked wider.

 

He slipped into her and she moaned loudly as he slowly pistoned his hips. She had studied up on canine daemons and they were a randy species; they were also territorial, pack oriented, and very loving with what they deemed theirs. Sesshomaru had deemed her his and by the Gods he let her know it. He was also perfection and every woman's dream when it came to a partner. He was attentive and always saw to her end first. He was arrogant and insistent that she reach climax and sometimes he would hold back just so she would reach it several times. Sesshomaru really liked to touch and now he was touching. Nia felt molten as he took her slowly. One hand held her hip and the other rolled a nipple. She was getting undone so quickly as he continued to guide her on his large cock.

 

“Nia.” He growled.

 

“Oh Gods you make me crazy.” She cried out.

 

“Say my name lover. Say it!” He snarled softly.

 

“Sesshomaru. Please Sesshomaru. Please do not torture me.” She whined.

 

“This Sesshomaru's name is perfect on your lips.” The inu lord whispered.

 

He let her bend over and he growled out wildly. He began to take her harder as his hand wandered to her nestle of curls. His knuckles brought pressure to her bud and he kept it in time to his thrusts. She was unraveling and she was beginning to scream his name. That got him going faster then anything and he felt his end coming fast so he sped up his massage and thrust combination. Nia shattered and her walls clutched him tightly as she sobbed his name. That did it and he erupted as his essence left him in waves. He enjoyed the idea that he possessed her wholly and by himself. She was his and he was spoiled to her. He thrust a couple more times to hit her “g-spot” so she would yelp in pleasure. He finally felt his fluids stop and he had a smile on his face. He withdrew and picked her up.

 

“Sesshomaru.” She moaned softly.

 

“Hai?” He murmured.

 

“So good.” Nia whispered.

 

“I am aware.” Sesshomaru grinned just a little.

 

“You arrogant ass.” She snapped.

 

“Hai.” He said letting her fall on their bed.

 

He spread her thighs wide and he went about his second favorite thing; cleanliness was next to Kaminess and his mate must be clean. Nia's sightless eyes opened wide as he began to lash his inu tongue on her folds.

 

“I am so going to hell.” She whispered.

 

“Then this Sesshomaru will make certain to retrieve you.” He chuckled.

 

He again had her moaning and nearly screaming his name and he was pleased; he was as pleased as a kitsune in a chicken pen.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sesshomaru knew something was up with her and he knew she was hiding something. He suspected he knew but he could not scent it which drove him nuts. So when she slept he was scenting her very carefully and nothing. He cocked a silver brow and he decided to try and ascertain another way. He pressed his ear to her belly and it was so faint but he heard the heart beat of a small being. His breath caught and the knowledge that she hid it from made him very angry. Nia had also been trying to convince him to leave, now he knew why and he was incensed. He jerked away from her and she startled in her sleep.

 

“Sesshomaru?” She asked softly.

 

“My hearing is keen is as well as my sense of smell.” He growled.

 

“Huh?” Nia asked not understanding.

 

“Your breasts are changing Nia. This Sesshomaru is not ignorant of an onna's change when she is pupped. I should be able to scent it but you have somehow covered it, why?” Sesshomaru growled in anger.

 

“Because you should not be here.” She said rolling away from him.

 

“I am here.” He snapped.

 

“Not supposed to be. You do not say much my love, my heart. You refuse to tell me an awful lot so why should I keep you here? You have a mate and pups as you call them somewhere else.” Nia said in a heartbreaking tone.

 

“I will return to them but I will know why you keep the knowledge of my pup from me?” Sesshomaru demanded.

 

“Because you are honorable. You will stay if you think you have to. I do not want to tie you here when it was an accident. I do not believe in killing the unborn so I will have my baby and be so grateful for you giving her to me.” She said as tears fell down hers face.

 

“Augusta has had many an issue carrying my pups. The pups she has born me; I love them most earnestly but any pup you bear me will be the same.” He snapped and he was truly furious.

 

“I am not your chief mate. You have a lady and I know she loves you. I know you tell me she is succubus and you know that. You know what she is and you have accepted her to a point but your pride has been affronted when she allowed her affections for that tiger.” She said touching his arm.

 

He did not speak but she spoke truth. He had forgiven Augusta for her indiscretion with Chen but it had hurt him terribly. He knew many, many things but she had not come to him, she had not been honest. He knew what he had gotten himself into when he had mated the beautiful uppyr but his heart had broken for a brief time. Their mating was good and it was strong but he was being selfish. He wanted something he did not have to share. He wanted someone that was all his and that he could be all inu around. Sesshomaru did not want to be reasonable; he did not want to be honorable. He just wanted to be a man with an onna who shared his passion. Nia had unknowingly come onto him and he found her beautiful and lovely. He had found her addictive and sweet. He had found a flower that was in need of bloom and he wished to tend it. Now she was trying to be the honorable one and he was balking at it. It was unlike him and he shut away his pride.

 

“It is not honorable to leave one's pup. It is not honorable to leave a mate. I am the most powerful inu lord in Asia. My own heir has concubines; it may war with your senses but it not unreasonable for this Sesshomaru. I love you.” He said rising and going about getting dressed.

 

Her eyes stung and he was admitting his feelings. He was not emotional but he was angry.

 

“This was not supposed to happen. I was only trying to get Nveid back.” She said gasping in her breath and trying not to sob.

 

“So Nveid is more important to you then this Sesshomaru's pup?” Sesshomaru demanded.

 

“I did not say that.” She yelled at him.

 

“Hn.” He growled and he left her presence.

 

Nia could say nothing but she felt pain in her chest. His words stung and she felt like such a whore. She felt as though she had wronged this unknown woman and she felt wretched.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sesshomaru was near Astana and the idea of facing Raganos made him thrilled. He had picked on the young wraith and he was afraid of the inu lord. Making the bastard practically shit his pants made him exceedingly pleased. The inu was nearing the palace and Maec had pulled back. Thoughts of getting in and getting the boy crossed his mind but that would change history. He sighed and he knew his being here had changed some. He made his way silently into the palace and he scented out Nia's lovely smell. The boy smelled a little like his mother. He slowly worked his way into the palace nursery and he peeked in to see several children. Raganos was the eldest and he was barely an adult. He had more honor then to kill the bastard as a child. He blinked when he saw the silvery blue eyes of a dark haired infant and his touched his cheek.

 

“Who are you?” He heard near the door.

 

A woman was in the doorway and she had black hair and almost black eyes.

 

“This boy does not belong here.” He stated in his baritone.

 

“That boy belongs to the king.” She said flatly.

 

“Hn.” Sesshomaru muttered.

 

He picked up the infant Nveid and the onna went to yell and he passed by her. She was silenced by a slap that sent her flying and made her unconscious. Sesshomaru came face to face with Raganos and his face was in shock to see the creature that scared the utter crap out of him.

 

“What the hell?” He demanded.

 

Sesshomaru let his Dakkasou whip grow and Raganos barely got out of the way. The doorway was ripped up and the inu was gone in the blink of an eye. The crown prince realized that the baby his father had sired with the slut Nia Besud was gone and he grew terrified. It was well known he loved the whore and now the boy was gone. Maec tr'Awnhi was going to throw a fit.

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

The boy was hungry and he made it back to Besud lands quickly enough. He had killed several tr'Awnhi soldiers and the infant began to cry. He growled softly to soothe him and he was but he gnawed on his hands. He knew Nia could reestablish feeding and walked into the desert castle. Nia was up and pacing as he entered.

 

“Sesshomaru?” She heard when she heard footfall.

 

“The boy is in need of nourishment.” He said as he brought Nveid to her.

 

“Oh my Gods! Sesshomaru? You got Nveid? Oh Gods.” Nia cried.

 

She sat down where she stood and he actually unlatched her dress. He exposed her breast and she was astonished he would do such a thing. She felt his fingers on her nipple and he was doing something to it.

 

“What are you doing?” She asked almost breathless.

 

“You have been denied feeding the babe. Your milk needs to be coaxed down. Allow this Sesshomaru to do so.” He growled.

 

She nodded and soon he helped Nveid latch onto her breast. She hissed as his jaws suckled at her hungrily.

 

“So strong!” She said astonished.

 

“Hai. He is a strong feeder. He will get you flowing freely soon enough.” He said standing.

 

“Why did you do this?” Nia asked with tears.

 

“Because this Sesshomaru loves his mate.” He answered with ice in his tone.

 

“I am sorry I did not tell you. I did not expect you to stay.” She stated in shame.

 

“You did not wish me to stay. Maec will be kept back and this Sesshomaru will leave.” He said and then left her presence.

 

She held her son and only wept for having hurt such a good man. Nveid kept suckling and he did get some from his birth mother. She called on a wet nurse so he would not be deprived. She knew she would have to feed him often to regain the ability to feed him herself. Nveid was installed in her chambers and she went to find Sesshomaru. He was in the desert garden and she came up to him. He flinched when she touched him and she was feeling horrid.

 

“I have hurt you. I am so sorry. I am so sorry. I never meant for that.” She begged.

 

“A lesson that was taught long ago was that emotions are useless. Love is a fantasy and entanglements a nuisance. The Inu no Taisho mated the Lady Natsumi because of prestige and her family's power. She was a beautiful but treacherous bitch. The Taisho mated her once and conceived this Sesshomaru. I know of only one other time that he touched my lady mother and she aborted my sibling. The Taisho had another lover and this Sesshomaru has a sister that I was not allowed to know. Her name is not even known. I know who the mother is but this is irrelevant as the Taisho went on to mate a ningen himegimi; he begot this Sesshomaru's hanyou sibling. Inuyasha is bearable now but the Taisho died saving the ningen and the hanyou. This Sesshomaru had to bear the knowledge that a bastard meant more to my father then I did.” He stated stonily.

 

Nia was unable to say anything and he stood up fluidly. He turned his amber eyes to her and he perused her.

 

“You will not be troubled further with this Sesshomaru's presence. You pine in some ways for that bastard and I am second to no one. My pup should not be a dirty secret. Arrangements need to be made as I am nothing like that vermin you love. She will know her mother and her sire.” He said as he walked past her.

 

“Sesshomaru!” She cried.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru. Lady Besud.” He stated with such venom and ice.

 

She could not believe he was being so cold and he walked away. She sobbed brokenly and men were not worth it in their insufferable pride. She wiped away her tears and she was devastated. She loved him and he refused to see past his own pride. Nia found her way back inside and she went to her son that needed her.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They had been able to find his way back and he made plans to figure an easier way to have access to his child. He needed to speak to Asuna and find out where Nia was at this time. He knew he should know more but honestly had not paid much attention. He returned to the Western Palace and Augusta was gone and he figured he knew where she was. He remembered her few trysts with his sire and he could not care too much. He knew where that went and he shrugged. If he was honest with himself he knew her attraction was because the Taisho looked like him. That thought was flattering and he checked his correspondence. He called on the kappa to find out if his heir was in this time frame and Jaken informed him that she had indeed only just returned. He ordered the toad to call her as he hated telephones. He went to his chambers and went about relaxing and cleaning up. Asuna showed up within the hour astonished and Hideaki was with her as well.

 

“You will tell me of Nia Besud.” He said sitting at his study desk.

 

“Pardon?” Asuna asked shocked.

 

“I did not stutter daughter.” He said short tempered.

 

“She was a clan leader a long while ago. She led the Besud clan.” She said sitting.

 

“Was? Explain your meaning.” He said in sudden anger.

 

“My lord. She is dead.” She said taken back by his sudden glacial eyes and Hideaki was curious.

 

“Unacceptable.” He growled.

 

“Do you know Lady Nia?” She asked suddenly.

 

“Why is she dead?” He demanded.

 

“She is Nveid and Hanaj's mother my lord.” She explained.

 

His eyes flashed red and he stared at her in actual fury that showed. She had returned to the bastard Maec and not given a rat's ass about what they had shared.

 

“She had a daughter.” Sesshomaru said trying to calm himself.

 

“No my lord she did not. She only had Nveid and Hanaj. Sanra turned Maec and Nia against each other. Maec was out of his head and he was convinced Nia was in love with someone else. He made a terrible mistake and he took her at one point and begot Hanaj. When she was birthing him; he took his son and did not help her. She bled out having him.” She said modifying the truth.

 

She saw her father's eyes and they were swirling red mixed with the gold. He was angry. He was utterly furious and in a rage. She had no clue what it was but he looked ready to strike out.

 

“Asuna, leave me.” He demanded.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Asuna got up and bowed. Hideaki saw his lord get up and go to his sake. He could swear his lord's hand was shaking the smallest bit and he stared at his best friend.

 

“What is the truth?” The Western lord demanded.

 

“Maec tr'Awnhi murdered her when he tore Hanaj tr'Awnhi from her womb.” Hideaki said.

 

Sesshomaru shut his eyes and he snarled. He threw the sake saucer and he stared at Hideaki with actual pain in his eyes.

 

“I left her there. I left her there to suffer his wrath. She hurt me.” He admitted.

 

“What?” The violet eyed inu admitted.

 

“Hai. When the whore grabbed me; she sent me backwards in time. I met Nia Besud. This Sesshomaru found her intoxicating. I took her and mated her. She was to bear my pup but she kept it from me. I was angry and left.” He said clenching his claws in his palms.

 

“No mention of a girl my lord. Do you think maybe she could have sent your pup away?” Hideaki asked gently.

 

“I have no clue. I left her there and he killed her.” He whispered.

 

“Sesshomaru? My lord are you okay?” His general asked.

 

“She was mine. There was no having to understand or be reasonable because she was empusae. I did not have to plan for my mate to betray my union.” Sesshomaru said in brutal honesty with the only other person he trusted to be so open with.

 

“My lord.” He said astonished when he saw anger and pain reflected in his eyes.

 

“Where is Maec tr'Awnhi?” He demanded.

 

“I am certain he is within Hueco Mundo. You know of the alliance he and Asuna have.” Hideaki sighed.

 

“This Sesshomaru and the bastard have no such alliance.” He said clenching his teeth.

 

Hideaki realized Sesshomaru was going after Maec and his lord swept from his study. It seemed they were going now. The Western Lord had lost Asuna for the century but he had not lost a mate. It astonished him that he would in fact take another onna but Hideaki left the study as well to put on his own armor and try to shut out his own mate's questions. One problem being mated to his best friend's child; she was a nosy bitch and she pried like hell. He always kept Sesshomaru's confidence on important matters and he would never stop, that warred with his duty to the Western heir but he would have to navigate the treacherous waters.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hideaki had healing claw marks on his neck from where Asuna had slapped him silly. He had also left her there to have her tirade. She was not used to his being so staunch by her father. She would have to get used to it and it was obvious that daughter was just like father and had major control issues. They had gotten into Hueco Mundo by way Yhea Jing. Sesshomaru was surprised but he said nothing. His beautiful patrician features held aloofness and cold. Maec was fixing to have a problem. They had gone to a fairly large palace in Kostanai and Sesshomaru gripped the hilt of Bakusaiga. They had gotten intelligence from the Jings and this was where Maec was supposedly. He worked his way inside and he scented; he knew the scent and hatred filled him. The Western Lord caught the scent of Maec and he stalked like the deathly killing machine he was. He found the Shouten king in a war room of sorts and he heard the slide of a weapon. Maec whirled and saw Sesshomaru and his jaw dropped. Anger clouded his face and he crossed his arms.

 

“You are not welcome here.” He said coldly.

 

“You killed her.” Sesshomaru said as red entered his eyes.

 

“Well Sanra convinced me she was fucking someone else and she was.” Maec retorted.

 

“You were no longer with her.” The inu snarled.

 

“It is ancient history and she is dead. I cannot change that I was manipulated by someone else and so was she! You had no business being there.” He said gritting his own teeth.

 

“It was your cunt whore sister who sent this Sesshomaru.” He said flexing his claws.

 

“I have not told Isha for the reason to save your face. No clue how she would feel to know her father fucked my old lover!” The Shouten said in hate.

 

“Asuna! Her name is Asuna. She may have forgiven you but this Sesshomaru never will!” He said pulling Bakusaiga.

 

Maec managed to pull his own broadsword and block the wretched demon blade. He was disgusted how this family managed to create their own weapons out of their own damn energies. He really did not need this at the moment because he was simply fighting his eldest son and he was stalemating him but it was costly. His clan had begun to rally around him since Sanra was pretty much gone. It would take time but he could thwart his former heir. He blocked and parried as he tried to stay away from the damned blade. Maec did not see the movement Sesshomaru made and he pierced through the middle and the damn dog uttered something. The pain was horrendous. Isha would sense it wherever she was and he regretted that. Suddenly Admal appeared as he phased in and he grabbed his hands. The unleashing of his own voiding shoki was draining but his brother was in part empusae. Admal could channel anyone and it made him a powerful foe. Sesshomaru had to duck the powerful yoki and he unleashed the Dragon Strike which ripped through the Shouten war room. Hideaki was now busy fighting his own battles and Admal barely managed to get his brother out of the way. Maec was not using the old ways anymore and his younger brother now cursed. No one anticipated that Isha tr'Awnhi, aka, Asuna would show up and she was horrified. Maec saw it first and she threw herself in front of Bakusaiga to save him.

 

“No!” She screamed in agony.

 

“Daughter!” Sesshomaru snarled.

 

“Chichi no! Please no! I have saved him. I can redeem him!” She said as blood poured down from her shoulder.

 

“He killed Nia Besud! There can be no redemption from such! Vermin!” The great Western Lord stated with such cold fury.

 

“Isha!” Maec snarled trying to get to her.

 

Hideaki had enough and he moved between father, daughter, and enemy. The inu general proceeded to belt Maec across the face and he tried to take Asuna. Sesshomaru's anger was visible in his aura and yoki and he was so close to changing. Admal scrambled and he grabbed the inu princess and his brother and phased out. Sesshomaru stared at the spot where his own daughter's blood pooled and he growled out in tremendous anger.

 

“It becomes clear that this Sesshomaru will destroy the whole house of tr'Awnhi. He corrupts our heir.” He said leaving the room.

 

Hideaki actually gulped. Sesshomaru's wants warred with Asuna's feelings, father and daughter were going to end up coming against each other again over an enemy, a lover, and an ally. He suddenly felt very much in the middle.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The pain was unreal; it would not stop and Asuna cried out as she held her arm. Maec was in as much pain but he crawled over to his wife and he wanted to throttle her.

 

“Isha!” He snarled.

 

“Why does he care about Nia?” Asuna said as tears streamed down her face.

 

“Because my putrid sister sent him backwards. Your father ended up bedding her.” He said choking back emotion.

 

“You did not tell me?” She demanded in anger.

 

“I did not want to upset you. We have such a fragile thing as it now! Damn it I do not want to loose you.” He said upset.

 

“You still killed her?” His wife asked gasping.

 

“Yes! I am shamed for it and I will burn and rot for it but Asuna, Isha my love…you are my heart now. You are everything to me. You make me wish to be a better man.” Maec cried softly as he held.

 

“Damn it Maec! He is crazed. He has made it his mission to kill you! He is one of the worst enemies you could have.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“He has not stopped me yet.” He retorted holding her tightly.

 

“You should have said something! Maec damn it! You should have trusted me.” Asuna said staring at his silvering eyes.

 

He pressed his lips to hers and she ended up kissing him deeply as they bled on the other. She knew her father was seriously mad and she had to understand why. Admal snorted as he came in and she stared up at him. Maec looked annoyed and sighed.

 

“Aidoann is here and will attend you two idiots. I for one have guard duty. Please try to remain alive brother and sister in law.” He said bowing.

 

She watched him and Maec snorted.

 

“He is always up to something.” He said rolling his eyes.

 

“Oh? Is he dangerous?” She demanded.

 

“No. He is loyal and he is loving towards very few. I know him though and he wants something.” The Shouten king said with narrowed eyes.

 

“You faced my father and what Maec?” She asked softly.

 

“He had kidnapped Nveid back and I went ballistic. He was also not there when I came to retrieve my son. Her troops could not withstand mine and I took him back. She looked with child and I could not say for certain that she was but she went on a rampage against me. She did not win of course. I also remember Sanra being very secretive and active at that time.” He considered.

 

Aidoann came in and began to work on the two blood drinkers and she had to make a powerful draught against the damage of Bakusaiga; Asuna's wound was not as lethal because of her blood link to the fang but Maec needed her blood to heal and they both ended up nestled in bed. The Sahen healer nodded at her work and she went back towards her infirmary. She was suddenly grabbed and she gasped as she was dragged into a hall and Sanra stared at her with a cruel smirk on her face. Danika held the female Shouten and the Shouten princess lifted her hand and shifted it into a dagger like weapon.

 

“You are going to heal my brother so to speak.” She smiled.

 

“Help!” She screamed.

 

Sanra stabbed her in the heart and Aidoann slipped down Danika and the blonde succubus smirked at her “lover”.

 

“Good job Sanra. Now are you going to go visit brother dear?” She asked innocently.

 

“Yes and do you intend to go see this Osamu?” She smirked.

 

“Oh yes.” She nodded.

 

Sanra shifted her appearance to that of the Sahen healer and she walked up to Danika. She leaned forward and kissed her lips softly several times and she whispered the words death and defile to her long time mate in destruction. Danika grinned and kissed her back and then stepped back.

 

“Bye now.” She said and she ported out.

 

Sanra was never sure how she did it nor was she sure how the whore Maec fucked ported into her home plane but it did not matter. She went to the healer's infirmary and got the things she needed. She sauntered back to their room and it took everything in her not to stab her enemy. She fed Maec the draught and proceeded to go on about her business. She phased her body into the desert for the hollows to devour and decided to play with this appearance for awhile.

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

Aidoann was in severe pain and she barely moved across the white sand. She rasped in deep breaths as she tried to do something; anything to survive. A hollow bared down on her and she screamed but she grew determined not to let that whore kill her. She rolled and pain assaulted every sense she had and Aidoann managed to sink fangs into the leg of the hollow beast. It howled in rage and pain as she drank its blood and spirit energy. The beast began to dissolve away as it died and she used the last of her energy to phase into the living plane. She fell to a floor and she heard yelling. She looked up into the familiar face of Nobu and his son Shinobu. Aidoann was hauled up onto a gurney and she felt them use a paralytic to keep her corporeal. She was rasping and Shinobu looked down at her.

 

“I am fixing to intubate you. It will be okay.” He said quickly.

 

He had put an oxygen mask over her face and she nodded in understanding. She could feel the drugs begin to work and everything became surreal. She was barely awake but he inserted a scope down her mouth and then tubed her. Her green eyes shut slowly and she prayed she would make it. She was not ready to meet her makers.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shinobu watched the fair haired Aidoann Sahen and she had saved his big sister Ayana. She was on a breathing machine and they had to do a valve repair to her heart. She was pale but she would live. Her clouded green eyes opened a little and she saw Shinobu.

 

“Hi there. I am Yamasaki Shinobu. You saved my Chichi and one of my sisters; I thank you. You risked your life to get them out of Astana.” He said softly.

 

She blinked and she lifted her heavy hand. She pointed to the tube and he nodded no.

 

“I am sorry healer Aidoann. Your oxygen levels need to stay constant but I do have you on a Widow drip. You do not hurt?” Shinobu asked gently.

 

She blinked twice for no and he nodded. He picked up a chart and he wrote some things down.

 

-I think I can breathe on my own. - She whispered in his head.

 

“Hai but like I said let me cautious. I will wean you off of it soon enough.” He stated without thought.

 

-Please, I am the equivalent of a doctor. I know the risks, please? - She thought.

 

“Healers and doctors make shitty patients.” He said as he moved to remove the tube.

 

Aidoann knew to blow out and he pulled the tube. She coughed for several minutes and she stared at him. He poured her water and she took it with a shaky hand.

 

“Thank you.” She whispered hoarsely.

 

“Uh huh. Now you get some sleep, okay? Doctor's orders.” He said narrowing his golden brown eyes.

 

“I thank you again.” She bowed her head.

 

“I owed you.” He nodded.

 

Aidoann lifted a heavy hand to Shinobu and he took her elegant fingers in his. He smiled softly at her and she looked vulnerable and soft.

 

“You are so different looking then the Kazak Shouten; where do the Sahen come from?” He asked brushing her brown hair out of the way.

 

“Parts of Russia and Siberia.” She croaked softly.

 

Her eyes swirled with green and brown and Shinobu really thought how beautiful they were.

 

“Do you feel the Widow?” He asked.

 

“Yes. It feels overly hot. I do believe it affects all Shouten in the same manner but it is less obvious in women.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

Aidoann had found the spider male named Nobu fascinating but this man was young and she knew he had preformed surgery on her. She was flushed and feeling honest to Gods arousal and she took to running her fingers along his. Shinobu was affected even though he had been turned into a bitten empusae. His instincts were still that of a kumo and it was so damn odd he thought since he needed blood to survive. He stared at her and he shook his head.

 

“I can give you something to help you sleep.” He said trying to rise.

 

“Would you do something? Does that feel good to you? My studies tell me that spider daemons were very sensitive.” Aidoann asked in a whisper.

 

“Ye-es.” He nodded almost turning red.

 

“Thank Doctor Yamasaki.” She nodded.

 

“Hai.” Shinobu said standing up abruptly.

 

He injected her IV with a sleeping medicine and within a few minutes her eyes grew heavy. She brushed her lips across the back of his hand and she whispered “thank you” several times. She had stated in Russian that she was not ready to die and Sanra was using her face. Shinobu was horrified and waited till she fell asleep. He was certain they could use the information to their advantage.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Annaka made it to him first. She was actually concerned. Her mind would not stop in torment of what she was thinking and she appeared in Tokyo. She showed up in his lavish apartment and Osamu was up in a second. Annaka looked distracted and she looked around.

 

“Grab the corporeal and your children and come with me now.” She commanded.

 

“Pardon me? What the hell are you doing here and why do I need to wake my mate and pups in the middle of the night?” Osamu growled.

 

“Because you little fool; I just killed Danika's father and she apparently knows that I…it does not matter! I am powerful but I am not omniscient. Get them now!” Annaka said with her green eyes getting an eerie glow.

 

Osamu could tell something was up and he went to Aya. He woke her up and she went to their mixed pups. He was directing her to port to the West when his living room became a battle ground. Danika appeared with several other Shouten and succubus. Annaka looked downright pissed off and Osamu looked back to see Aya panic. She grabbed their two pups and ported via her shoki. He walked into his living room clad only in black silk sleep pants. Danika turned her beautifully evil face to gaze upon him and she unleashed her fire yoki at him. He ducked and Annaka was instantly in front of him. She touched two Shouten and their veins became visible as they shook as if in convulsions. The fell dead with looks of horror on their faces. The ekimmu turned her attention to her own child who was going after Osamu. Annaka became entrenched fighting three succubuses that were of some credible power. Danika jumped on her daughter's son and her claws sank into his flesh.

 

“Whore!” He snarled.

 

“Yes! Quite proud of it too. You think I will roll over while your fucking twin and you out do me?” Danika hissed.

 

He surprised her and his eyes bled green. She was taken back and he pressed his hands to her shoulder and leg. Danika screamed as he burned her with incredible heat. She tried to catch his gaze but she realized her own mother had been training the boy in his empusae powers. The two were fighting on the floor and she could not believe how powerful he was. This man; this half incubus man was strong. Danika tried to bite him and she managed to catch some skin. Osamu screamed out in pain as it coursed through him with such an agonizing intensity. Nothing in his life prepared him for what he was feeling and Danika shrieked suddenly. She intensified the feeling in Osamu and Annka was fixing to rip her own daughter's head off.

 

“I will fucking kill him! Let me go Mother!” She laughed coldly.

 

“Release him now!” Annaka snarled.

 

“Let me go.” Danika stated with malice.

 

Annaka actually released and lifted her hand. Danika made agony shoot through him in unbearable proportions and she ported away. Osamu withered on the floor and the little bitch had not released him.

 

“Osamu!” She said falling next to him and she cut her wrist.

 

Annaka forced his mouth open and made him begin to take in her blood. His pain did not ease and she knew his mind would shut down. She hauled him to her and sank her lengthy fangs into his throat. She used her own considerable will and shut Danika out. She could feel her daughter's fury and Osamu began to tremble in relief. She was coursing and coaxing him into a sleep but he fought it. His strength of will and his underlying power was maddening her. She released his throat and he shook violently from the oversensitising of his body.

 

“Annaka.” He whispered.

 

She meant to cradle him but he reached up and jerked her to his lips. He bit into her tongue and he was seeking the feelings that came along with the physical. He knew it would shut out any lingering pain and she let him suck on her tongue and he groaned softly. He reached up and pulled her against him as he tasted her fully. Osamu rolled them and her eyes flew open when he hiked up her long old style dress. Her face crumpled as he thrust into her hard. His face became flushed in a good way as he snapped his hips.

 

“I was nervous for you.” She moaned a little.

 

“Were you? Your ekimmu heart thawing a little?” Osamu asked lacing his fingers in hers.

 

“Shut up! You are amazing! Osamu you are mine.” Annaka said feeling powerful tremors begin.

 

The boy had begun to rotate his hips and she began to rasp.

 

“What are you going to do about it?” He teased.

 

“Not now Osamu. I will brook no teasing.” She said meeting his hips.

 

“Back up the talk ekimmu.” He demanded.

 

He watched in utter fascination as her eyes went from green to silver. She jerked his head to the side and sank her fangs in deep. It was almost like a spigot was undone and blood spilled between them but Osamu was in utter ecstasy and Annaka was doing the unthinkable. She was taking him as hers fully and she was giving him something no infant truly had a right to. Her lips fell back and her massive orgasm shook her to her spirit form. Osamu in turn marked her viciously but it caused another unbearable climax. Annaka Novak passed out.

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

He had brought her to his Kyoto estate and she was asleep which she never did. The act had been profound and he had called to check on Aya. He blatantly told Annaka he would not give up Aya ever. He would be her lover and they could enjoy each other but he had stated that she did not dwell here and he had a right to a life. Annaka had been astonished as no one dared talk to her so bluntly but Osamu Orlovich was a prince of the most powerful youkai state and he was used to being someone. His twin may be heir but he was the crowned prince of the Western Lands. Annaka woke up and Osamu was drinking coffee. She blinked and seemed shocked at her state.

 

“I made the ekimmu bitch pass out. My arrogance just went up by ten degrees or so.” He smirked over his mug.

 

“You are perfection my darling. The pain should be gone.” She said laying back.

 

“It is. Thank you. I really want to strangle that whore straight into her grave.” He growled.

 

“No. You must behead her and remove her heart. Then we must burn her body and scatter her ashes. She will be unable to rise from such a death.” Annaka smirked with the cold malice he was used to.

 

“Wow! Remind me not to piss you off old lady.” He said putting down his coffee and going to the bed.

 

He wrapped his elegant hand around her ankle and he jerked her forward. She made a soft sound and he straddled her waist. She was acting more alive and less like a horrible bitch and he was warming up to her more. He jerked the blanket off of her and he watched her face as he maneuvered himself so he could slip a single finger inside of her. Her skin was not as cold the longer she came to this plane and it became hotter after the sexual act. He realized she drew in yoki and it made her more alive. He had her withering on the bed and on the brink; he stroked her treasured spot within and Osamu looked down as she began to jerk violently in her orgasmic bliss. She was gushing and he growled out in lust. He leaned down and lapped at her core as she continued to ride out the pleasure. He was still in part inu and he loved to sniff and taste things.

 

“You make me feel. I feel. Osamu again, I am coming again.” She screamed out softly as he worked his tongue.

 

She could moan and scream like a banshee and it was music to his ears. He had always been a sexual person and once they had come to an accord; he adored to ravish her and it became apparent that she loved to be ravished and often. He lifted his head and his eyes were emerald.

 

“Let me ask you something.” He queried and commanded at the same time.

 

“What?” She moaned arching her entire body.

 

For such an ancient creature she looked no older then a young onna to him. He knew just feeling her yoki how long she had existed and he had nicknamed her; old lady. Her burnished gold hair was down and fell in waves and he realized the longer and more often she stayed corporeal then she would actually start to feel like she had in her previous lifetime. Her pale white legs were long and they shook as he continued to make her loose it.

 

“Can you stay corporeal?” Osamu asked lazily.

 

“Not forever. I have the will to keep me here for weeks at a time.” She replied.

 

“Weeks huh? Hmmm.” He said as he began to kiss her thighs.

 

“Yes, you make me weak. I have never been weak.” Annaka actually whimpered.

 

He knew what she meant and he grinned as he laved his tongue up her thigh. She looked down at him and he was entranced by her silver eyes. He crawled up her so he could kiss her. His threaded his fingers into her hair pressed himself against so that he could hold her down as he delved almost tenderly at first and escalated into utter passion that eclipsed anything she knew. Annaka was horrified to feel tears leak from her eyes and this man had turned her heart into something other then stone.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was awake after a long sleep and she turned her light brown head to see Shinobu in a chair sleeping. He was dressed in plain clothes; he wore jeans and loose fitting black tee shirt and she took him in. Aidoann realized she was still on the Widow and she was feeling flush and heavy. She undid her IV and she quietly moved so as not to wake him. She was being bold but she was feeling out of sorts and very much in terrible need. Shinobu's short black hair fell over his eyes. He truly looked so young and his jaw was sculpted with a slight dimple in his chin. His beauty was startling and Aidoann leaned forward; she kissed his lips softly and he startled awake. He stared at her and she stared at him and then proceeded to press her mouth more firmly. He was surprised and his eyes slid shut. Shinobu felt her tongue against his seam of his lips and he made a barely audible groan. Aidoann sought deeper and she kissed him with such need. His hand held the back of her neck and she finally had to pull back to take a deep breath.

 

“Please.” She whimpered.

 

“Huh?” Shinobu asked stunned.

 

“Please. Please I ache.” Aidoann said almost desperately.

 

“No. Healer Sahen.” He said holding her shoulders.

 

“Aidoann. My name is Aidoann, Doctor Yamasaki.” She said as her fingers drifted down.

 

“Shinobu. My name is Shinobu then. You are feeling the Widow. Onna? Aidoann listen to me. You feel the side effects of the pain medicine.” He said softly.

 

“Doctor Yamasaki shut up!” She said undoing his button fly jeans.

 

Aidoann was not like this is ever but she proceeded to free him and he groaned as she touched his flesh. He was fixing to be a goner in just a moment. Aidoann then slid down so her face was at his groin.

 

“Onna no! Stop please. Oh holy shit!” He groaned as she licked and sucked at him.

 

She had only a little experience and she went with her desires. She could scent his blood at his femoral artery and she could scent his sex and groin; the very male scent made her groan around him and Shinobu lost his will; he was empusae and the will thing was weak anyway. His chin met his chest as he breathed deeply to try and control the suddenly insatiable lust. He felt like such a whore all the time but the lust was worse then the blood want. Aidoann swallowed all of him and she moved her mouth over him with a little speed and the moist heat was heavenly. Shinobu was so hard as he gripped the arms of the chair he had slept in. He grit his teeth and the cries wanted to escape and he let out such a beautiful and needy moan. She lifted her head and she wanted him naked. She was a healer and she knew bodies well. She touched his jeans and phased his denim away. He was startled again but she lifted her mouth from his cock and she laved at one testicle with such promise.

 

“Aidoann. By the Kamis; I am loosing it. Please onna. Please.” He shook trying to control his body.

 

She sucked his egg shaped node into her mouth and he was flushed from the effort of holding back his own climax. Aidoann after some time of sampling his male parts lifted her head completely. She stood up and undid the ties to the hospital gown. She let it fall and his eyes were bleeding red. She saw desire reflected and she acted without preamble. She was feeling that same terrible ache and void; she knew herself and she would regret but she admitted that she wanted to be fucked and filled. It was a nasty thought and Shinobu caught it. He blushed madly and she straddled him again. He again tried to do the honorable thing but she slid down and he gasped.

 

“You are a virgin?” He squeaked.

 

“Yes.” She said slamming down her hips.

 

He actually snarled and she made such a long moan. He had never been with an onna who was pure and her tight sheath was gripping him so freaking tight. Aidoann was also wet and it was exquisite. She closed her eyes and savored the feel and it felt so right with the powerful pain killer in her system. She whimpered some as she took a deep breath and placed her hands on his shoulders. He could not believe the situation and his hands drifted to her hips. He stared at her creamy tan colored flesh and her nipples were a light caramel in color and he was staring at them.

 

“So hungry.” He whispered.

 

“I feel your uppyr blood. Please feed.” She said in her own little world of euphoria.

 

His hands slid up her back and settled on her shoulder blades as he held her firmly and licked at her tit. She was breathing hard but she watched him as he licked and lapped at the bud. Her breasts were not large but they were overly sensitive. Shinobu was loosing his head to the now raging lust and he nibbled her peak with an intenseness and slowness that he was known to do. He enjoyed acts of sensuality and typically tried to prolong them but this was making him too nuts. He began to draw in the nipple deeply and Aidoann climaxed then. Shinobu lifted his mouth just a fraction and snarled through the contractions of her sheath. He went back to his deep suckling after a moment and her mind was clouded again by another orgasm. She was new to this but it was awesome she decided when the partner could do such a thing.

 

“The bed. Lay back. Hard. Take me hard.” Aidoann begged hoarsely.

 

“Onna this is your first time!” Shinobu snarled again.

 

“Need it. Please!” She begged again.

 

He could not believe he was doing this to a now formerly pure young woman and he stood up carefully. He laid her back on the hospital bed and he began a harsh pace. Aidoann was lost in the absolute heaven as he took her harder. She began to become blind to the plane and she managed to jerk him to her lips and kiss him passionately and he moaned as he just could not stop. She jerked back from the kiss and she without warning sank her fangs into his shoulder tendon. He thought it would hurt but his nerves were electrified. Shinobu's mind altered as the white hot pleasure coursed through him and his balls drew up tight as the burn ripped straight to his brain and groin. He refused to climax yet without her own end again and he repeated what she had done except he did what Sebastein had instructed of him. He felt her shatter from heights somewhere and he finally allowed himself to join her in the inferno. She screamed out and he was pressed into her so hard he thought he might suffocate her. The head of his cock hit her cervix as his body pumped his release in thick, scorching amounts. Her eyes were shut as the pleasure rocked her profoundly. He finally stopped shaking and his breathing was erratic. He looked down at her and she was sleeping and snoring very softly. In any other circumstance; he would have been insulted but the Widow was such a powerful medicine. In the youkai world it was classified as a narcotic. She looked so young and innocent and he carefully pulled out of her. Shinobu was also normally very responsible and this had been a whim. He sighed and he looked around for his jeans and boxers. He saw them laying on the other side of the chair and he quickly pulled them on. The nurses would have heard her scream and he blushed madly as he actually dressed her fast. He was hooking her IV back up and masking the scent of sex when several nurses came in.

 

“Doctor Yamasaki! You are still here. She is okay then?” One nurse asked.

 

“Hai. I believe it is a bad dream. She pulled out her IV.” He said lying and feeling bad.

 

“No problem.” She said bowing and then leaving.

 

Aidoann was sleeping and he felt like a rake. He brushed her hair out of her sweet and beautiful face. He straightened himself up and he went to the blood bank. He hated himself but he slipped in and took a pint. Shinobu would put it in a travel mug and sip on it as one would coffee. He heated up the blood and he truly preferred the succulent type that he could get from a live vein but this made him not feel so much as freak. He walked to his sire's office and knocked on the door.

 

“Come.” Nobu called.

 

“Did you get a hold of Haha?” He asked.

 

“I did hai. She actually was holding Maec tr'Awnhi down. It seems they have formed an alliance.” He sighed.

 

“Oh Kami.” He sighed.

 

“Hai. So how is our patient?” Nobu asked.

 

“Chichi, I was watching over her and she came awake. She indicates that the Widow affects her the same as it does male Shouten.” Shinobu said red faced.

 

“I see. Are you okay?” He asked concerned.

 

“Oh hai. I am fine. A beautiful and gentle girl seduces me; that is the least of my problems.” He said turning redder.

 

“Your Haha did that to me.” His father said shaking his head.

 

“Chichi! Ewe!” His son said making a face and Nobu laughed loudly.

 

“Son, I am sure you know that one must copulate in order for babes to be born. You had to come from somewhere.” He said smirking widely.

 

“But I do not have to think about my father and my mother! Just ewe! Weird.” He said growling softly and he jumped up and walked away.

 

Nobu watched his adult son leave and he smirked. When Asuna had birthed him; his world had changed. Nobuyuki was also his pride but Shinobu was his first child by his mate. His smile was soft and he knew his long time mate and it was their shared link in her kumo life that had brought about his ultimate happiness. He contemplated her and he decided that he would find some answers to Maec's issues and delving into madness. Aidoann had indicated awhile back that Maec was induced into by powerful substances.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maec had gotten irrational and had acted nuts. She had also knocked him out. Admal had informed him that Sanra had taken Aidoann's form and they would have to ride out Maec's episode. Aidoann was at Yamasaki General and Asuna watched over Maec. He was out cold and she was mad. She was also not facing Kenomaru. She could not at the moment and she sighed. It was just one more thing he could hate her for. She honestly felt nothing would ever be right between them and the episode with Hyoga still bothered her badly. Her father was hell bent on a execution policy and she could not allow it. She hated that they were at odds but it could not be helped. Her head hurt with all the goings on and she feared for her unknown sister. She had told Naraku and he had been shocked. He and Masanori were asked to find Fumiko and in Asuna's opinion it was for her half sister's own good. Asuna wondered how far her sire and Nia had become friendly and she decided she had to know the extent of it. Admal walked in with Nobu and she saw the wraith eyeing her mate.

 

“Do not even think about it Admal. He is mine only.” She snarled.

 

“I can look.” He snorted.

 

Nobu looked at them both and he in turn blushed madly. For good measure his mate walked up and laid a huge French kiss on him and made him weak in his knees. Admal was now hard as rock and she snapped her fangs.

 

“I came to research the substances and test the blood of the Shouten king. Aidoann will be here soon and assist me.” He said red.

 

“Thank you Nobu.” She said with fevered eyes.

 

“Asuna! Your eyes are green.” Nobu said shocked.

 

“Hai. Unlocking the empusae in me more. I lost the ga babe.” Asuna sighed.

 

“Oh hell. How?” Her kumo mate asked.

 

“I would rather talk in private about it but I have to do something.” She said kissing his mouth in a soft lingering kiss.

 

“Asuna.” He groaned just a little.

 

“I will make up for my absences my darling. Very soon my love. You are part of my heart that no other can have.” She said pressing her forehead to his.

 

“I know that goose.” He whispered and kissed her forehead as he stepped back.

 

She gave him a brilliant smile that made him nearly melt and she jerked her head to Admal. The wraith eyed him and he shuddered. He had absolutely no interest in the duality of some of the Shouten. His inu-uppyr mate was more then enough. He went to Maec's prone form and went to researching his condition.

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

Shan Lao was floored at her request but he was able to help her through the in between and Admal went with her. She was honestly totally curious about Nia and she went to Besud land. She was cautious but they just let her pass and she suspected it was because her resemblance to her sire. The desert dwelling was tranquil but she heard the cries of an onna. Admal looked at her and she ran towards the noise. Asuna came upon Nia in labor and the Besud clan leader looked over but could obviously not focus on her.

 

 

“Who is there Kanal?” Nia whispered in agony.

 

“She looks like the canine daemon.” He said in shock.

 

“Lady Besud?” Asuna asked.

 

“Yes.” She said feeling like she was dying.

 

“Lady Besud, I am Asuna Orlovich-Jing. I am Lord Sesshomaru's eldest pup and heir. Please allow me to assist you.” She said as she neared her.

 

“He needed to go. He did not need to stay.” She said beginning to sob.

 

“I understand. You are a good onna. I am in part empusae. Will you let me give you pain relief?” She asked Nia.

 

“Please.” She nodded in agony.

 

Asuna cut her wrist and Admal stayed in the shadows. He was tr'Awnhi and would not be welcome. Asuna realized that she, Hanaj, and Nveid shared a sibling. She let Nia drink and she controlled the feeling and Nia moaned softly as the pain ebbed.

 

“Nia, my sire will want to know his pup.” She said brushing hair off of her forehead.

 

“I want you to take her. She is corporeal they tell me. Take her to him and they are going to make me forget so I do not grieve. It is for the best.” She said crying as bloody tears fell.

 

“Nia, I am certain he loves you too.” Asuna whispered brushing the tears off.

 

“He loves your mother more. I feel it. I am okay with that. I am okay with him returning to his life as he should. He is such a good man. He needed to get the pain of her betrayals out of his system. He is so good to encourage her to be herself but it hurts his pride badly. He needed this and I am so glad to have had him in my life. Our daughter belongs in your world.” She said taking Asuna's hand.

 

Asuna also cried and now she knew why there was no mention of the pup. She stayed by her side the entire time as Nia had a hard labor and when the pup was born; she had her sister's crest, magenta stripes, amber eyes, and sable colored hair. Nia held her for some time but she made Asuna take her and promise for her sire to name her. She swore but she was bereft. She did not know if she could hurt her mother this way and her eyes stared down at a girl that could pass for her own. She made a decision that would cause even more rifts between her sire and herself but she decided to keep the babe herself and she named her Takara which meant “treasure” in Japanese.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sesshomaru had demanded Hideaki take him to the in between and he did. He was further shocked to watch his best friend demand Shan Lao take him to Nia. The poor clan leader of the Jings was in shock and he again sent another inu into the past and he was exhausted. Asuna had returned secretively and she had grabbed Lei. They had done something and he knew it spelled trouble. When the inu lord returned with Hideaki much later; he was ice. He was so cold that it was scary. He had been told the pup was no more. Nia did not remember anything except their time and that yes, she had carried but they had told she had miscarried because the differences in corporeal and ether beings. Sesshomaru walked to his study and he poured his sake. Hideaki stood in the door and his eyes were filled with pity for his friend.

 

“I am so sorry Sesshomaru-sama.” He whispered.

 

“My pups are difficult it seems to carry. Does this mean that Augusta did not have the issue?” He asked bitterly.

 

“I do not think so my lord but she was a wraith. She was beautiful.” He said feeling badly.

 

“She was lovely and she belonged to this Sesshomaru and I left her. She was murdered by that vermin.” Sesshomaru said downing the sake.

 

“You do not want to try and save her?” Hideaki asked.

 

“I wish for peace.” He said downing another saucer of sake.

 

“You do not wish for Lady Augusta to know.” His best friend in understanding.

 

Sesshomaru had no answer and only slowly poured his sake and it numbed him. He did not intend to get drunk per say but he did not want to think of his pup lying in a grave unmarked and nameless. His eyes shut as his belly was warm and he could only feel pain.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna held Takara as Lei was speechless. The baby was beautiful. Lei had taken her in a blood adoption and it would change her smell. She laid her adopted daughter in his arms and he smiled down at her.

 

“I will give your sire credit and he makes some beautiful girls.” He said staring down at her.

 

“If he sees her then he will know. I have to keep her away Lei. My mother has the double standard obviously but it would kill her. It would destroy her. She has gone ballistic behind his back when other onna looked at him.” She sighed.

 

“So perhaps the succubus way is too claim their lovers and only they are supposed to touch them?” He asked curiously.

 

“Maybe so when you put it that way. Lord knows it made me utterly furious when Admal touched you.” She admitted.

 

“Oh but you have not been jealous when I did it before.” He smirked.

 

“I was but I did not show it.” She blushed.

 

Lei rolled his eyes and rocked the baby. Takara fell asleep and he laid her in a cradle in a small room off of theirs in the Hadasan castle. Asuna wrapped her arms around his waist and they did not discuss Maec and she kept him out of her mind on some topics. He actually was grateful and their love life was amazingly wonderful. Asuna proceeded to bring him to unimaginable heights and he was shattered. She was making sure to give him ample attention. She decided to be brave and she ventured to modern Stonehenge. Osamu had called her and told her of Danika's up close and personal attack but Asuna had known. She had felt him but she had not gone because she knew Annaka was obsessed with her twin. It weirded her out but it also made her a little happy simply because she was such a powerful being. She walked around the circle and she could feel the ekimmu but it they were simply ignoring her. That made her happy and she was searching for anything that could give her any hint to her past. She had tried to research the name Samyaza had called her and there practically nothing. One myth and vague descriptions. Even in the youkai annals and she had gone to Eyal and he was stunned. Now again she was in the circle where Samyaza also known as Gwydion. She found nothing but Stone that had been tended by the ningen populace and she felt cold. She was fixing to port and hands wrapped around her waist. She was suddenly on the ground with no breath in her and Samyaza's eyes stared down at her. His changed in color and now they were dark inky green. His white hair was long and fell around them.

 

“Arianrhod.” He said hoarsely.

 

“You bastard.” She snarled.

 

“Oh? What is wrong now sister?” He asked raising a grayish white brow.

 

“I am not your sister if I even was and you caused me to loose my child!” Asuna hissed.

 

“Oh pooh. One less corporeal brat.” Samyaza said in contempt.

 

“My name is Asuna and it is not Arianrhod. I am Japanese and not Celtic.” She said as coldly as his skin.

 

“You want to test that theory?” He asked smirking.

 

His fangs showed with his smile and she tried to shove him off. He was hell bent on a course and as long as he kept her in the circle then he could partake of her. He lost his head again but he did not brutally kiss her but lowered his mouth and sought her mouth. She snarled and bit his tongue which he did not care. His blood made her loose focus and she groaned unknowingly. He realized her actions made her compliant and he began to more boldly seeking her deeply and she was wild. He made himself jerk back and he wanted her so fucking badly. The heat from this corporeal flesh was unrivaled and he cut his thick flesh and he let it fall over her lips. Her eyes had changed and he was mesmerized. She had been glorious and one of the most power ekimmu ever born. She had been simply the most amazing woman and she had backed the uppyr and wraiths in revolt against their ekimmu masters when the planes really did not exist like they did now.

 

“Arianrhod.” He said suddenly out of his mind and he ripped her shirt open.

 

“Stop you bastard!” She groaned.

 

“No! I will not stop. I will never stop. I will not stop until we are own masters again and I can dwell in whatever plane I wish.” He snarled at her.

 

It became a blur and he pinned her. He stared at her as he rolled her. He did not want to have to force her. He wanted her to come to him like she used to. Samyaza wanted her to do the things that made him insane. He knew her death had driven him down some sort of damning road but he did not care. She screamed out and he was within her. He slipped his stone cold fingers within her other entrance and she was in shock.

 

“You wanton little girl. You always were. You would find me a lover to take and we would both take him. I need you. I will have you. I will find a way to possess you if I have to burst open every gate to hell!” He said in a desperate tone.

 

“You sick son of a bitch! Domination for what? For one onna? Not worth it bastard. Your little pet is a demented bitch and Danika is a screwed up whore!” She snarled out but the pleasure was making her stupid.

 

“Really Arianrhod? Our power together made us the most powerful amongst our kind. Mother and Father even feared us. You grew a conscience. We would have made the whole world and all the dimensions our playground! The mortals made sacrifice to us!” He snarled in her ear.

 

“I am no Kami!” She screamed.

 

“Shut up! Shut up!” Samyaza said loosing his thoughts.

 

He had wanted to share his love but she pissed him off. He began to try and pummel her to punish her. Samyaza was actually jerked off of her and thrown harshly. Maec was awake and his eyes were silver.

 

“Math!” He screamed.

 

“Maec. You touch my wife.” He said stalking over.

 

Asuna scrambled for her clothes and Maec was pissed. He was also very aware of what an ekimmu could do. Maec made a crossing motion and Samyaza knew this infant was one powerful bastard. Maec began to fling his kemuri followed by a void and the ekimmu threw himself against the ground. He was vulnerable in his corporeal form and he tried to touch him but Maec was using a powerful mental barrier and magic to thwart his will. It came to physical blows and horrifically cold touch of the ekimmu. Maec was burned from the cold touch but Samyaza's hair was singed and his breathing labored from inhaling kemuri. His skin was blotchy from hiebie. Asuna was horrified and she went to help Maec and he threw her back. Samyaza screamed in anger and he hissed.

 

“She was never yours Math. She was mine! She loved me!” He said in a lunatic tone.

 

“Whatever you say idiot. I really do not care about it. You Gods are not really that impressive anymore to me.” Maec snorted.

 

“You sister failed me. She swore to keep you under control. She swore to keep you out of my way. She is going to suffer for begging for your life!” He snarled.

 

“How very touching. That nasty fucking whore begged for my life?” Maec smirked.

 

Whatever Nobu had done Maec was quite in his own head and he fought gallantly and well. Samyaza had to retreat into the Stones and he whirled on her.

 

“Are you insane?” He demanded.

 

“I did not think he would appear.” Asuna said sheepishly.

 

“This place; this circle is gateway Isha! Good Gods woman.” He shook his head.

 

“I know nothing of this accursed religion. It makes no damn sense to me!” She growled at him.

 

“It is Elder worship my dear.” He said rolling his eyes as they slowly returned to normal.

 

That she understood and Maec decided to add insult to injury and he proceeded to take his wife in his true form. Asuna fell back and moaned on the grass as he made love to her spiritually. He would make Samyaza insane with hatred and he knew the ekimmu was probably lurking but he was drained. Maec reappeared with a flushed face and silver eyes. He sank his fangs into her labia and took the most potent elixir known to blood drinkers. There was only the faint green glow of very angry eyes. Hate could be felt and Maec did not care. The other ekimmu would consider this an offering and shelter them for the moment. Eventually he took her back to his lodge in Hueco Mundo and their children.

Aidoann snuck back into the corporeal plane and she was well pleased with how the king had responded to the spider daemon and her cure to his current madness. Maec's brain chemistry had been seriously thrown off balance in his long life and Aidoann surmised that if they possibly came up with a concoction of drugs or herbs that acted like the mood stabilizers and anti-depressants of the ningen then perhaps they could keep Maec normal all the time. Nobu thought it brilliant and he had also delicately said that Shinobu was alone that evening. So now Aidoann knocked on the young doctor's door and he opened it. He stared at the Sahen healer and he blinked. She stepped in and she kissed him. Why in the Kamis name he kissed her back so passionately he had no clue but he felt horrid. He truly wanted to get to know her more but she was insistent on taking him. They ended up on his bed and Aidoann was on him and moving. She craved him she found out and she eventually ended up under him. Shinobu kissed her with such intensity that it blew her mind. He could be himself totally and as he was now. It made him so at ease and the coupling was mind blowing. They made love several times before they even spoke a word. He was drinking blood at her breast and she was moaning for him.

 

“I feel something more here. I know this is wanton Shinobu but we are blood drinkers. We have telepathy and we can know each other more deeply and quickly if we wish.” She said with her eyes shut and brows furrowed.

 

He lifted his head and her blood glistened his lips.

 

“Speak plainly Aidoann.” Shinobu stated softly.

 

“I know this is over the top but I wish to know you more intimately. I wish to know all of you.” Aidoann said touching his face.

 

“You are suggesting we cut through the early stages of a relationship and go straight to intense?” He asked.

 

“Yes.” She nodded.

 

“Okay.” He said suddenly.

 

He angled his head and kissed her mouth softly. She did the same and they began to brush minds. It was so intense and it felt so good. He kissed her more and harder as the seeking of minds became deeper. They were attempting to avoid a bond or melding so they sought together. Shinobu was certain he had never felt such an incredible thing. Imari and Adelphia had been long term lovers but he wanted something more. He began to go further and Aidoann groaned out. She ripped her lips and the feel of him inside her mind and slowly her soul was overwhelming her. He was seeing everything. He was seeing the spying she had done for her clan. He saw how the Sahen had reached out to corporeal daemons in a bid to help stop what they thought was an evil but now they were in support of the newly sane Maec.

 

“You incredible onna!” He cried out.

 

“Huh?” She said lost in the pleasure of his presence.

 

“Aidoann.” Shinobu groaned as he joined her body again.

 

“Oh Gods! You were made for me. You feel so good. Shinobu.” She moaned delirious.

 

Aidoann saw his struggles with his current life and his past as a normal corporeal daemon. He also felt less then his baby sister whom he considered the greatest doctor besides his own father. She saw his great love of his mother and his siblings. He saw his hate of Danika and Aidoann was lost in the shared memories. Neither paid attention to Shinobu's eyes. He felt familiar instincts that he thought gone. He whined out softly and his claw pierced her nub. She lost it and wildly screamed as the venom he thought had been dormant ran in her lower regions. Aidoann was floating it felt like until he snapped his fangs harshly and powerfully at her juncture. She felt his claws and the pleasure erupted again and she lost her form. He fell against his bed and he was in shock. The next thing he knew he was filled with her mental presence. Their passions were running high and instincts out of control. Neither was being responsible and Shinobu was snared so deeply within her soul that it tripped into binding. When Aidoann was able to rejoin him she had to drink of him so much that the finish was a complete black out on both of their parts.

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

He woke up and she was still there but his sheets were stained with both of their blood and he made a sound of shock. His venom marked her thigh and her wrist. He had sank his fangs into her throat and Shinobu felt her on such an instinctual and emotional level that he knew; they had mated. He pressed his ear to her belly and he shut his eyes. He was stunned at himself but with this woman he had abandoned decorum and everything. He had taken her against common sense and duty; he had made her his mate and she had bound them in the wraith manner. He had also put his child in her belly. Nanami was going to shit her britches when she found out.

 

“Aidoann?” He whispered.

 

“I feel the newly formed infant.” She whispered.

 

“You feel it?” Shinobu asked surprised.

 

“Yes. It has an aura that is both foreign and familiar.” Aidoann said so softly.

 

Her hand came to rest on his head and he shut his eyes.

 

“What have we done?” He asked.

 

“What felt right. When I saw you in that hospital, when my heart was injured. I knew in my soul that you were the one.” She replied.

 

“Fate?” Shinobu asked.

 

“Yes.” She nodded.

 

“This is so odd for me.” He stated sitting up.

 

“The Sahen believe when you see the one that it matters not how to act. You move lest you loose your heart.” She said with a gentle smile.

 

“Wow.” He said in awe.

 

“Husband and mate. We can make it work. You are corporeal but your mother is my queen and you shall rule my heart.” Aidoann stated.

 

“Good Kamis. I think I am in love with you.” He whispered.

 

“Yes. Me too.” She said kissing his mouth.

 

Shinobu lay in her arms as they again partook. He had no clue what the hell he was going to tell his now old lovers but Aidoann knew she would do the talking.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sanra was furious and she was with Danika at the circle. She was pacing and Samyaza eventually showed. His face held malice and cruelty.

 

“You failed to procure your brother's service. You failed Sanra!” He snapped.

 

“Give me some time! I can bring him back to me.” She cried.

 

“You had better find my way into this plane and soon or I will destroy you for your continued failures. Danika darling come here.” Samyaza commanded.

 

Danika slinked forward and he allowed the succubus to sink her fangs into his stone like skin. Sanra pouted and he was furious. He stared at her in such rage and she slinked back.

 

“Why are you so angry?” She asked.

 

“Perhaps I can give myself a way into this plane and away from this fucking circle! Her! Arianrhod. I need her body. I can perhaps provide myself a vessel.” He said aloud.

 

“Is that possible?” Danika asked lifting her lips.

 

“Anything is possible my darling empusae slut; I am a god remember?” He said coldly.

 

“Maec loves her. Naraku loves her. You love her. Why?” Sanra screamed.

 

“She is everything that made us perfect. She was the most powerful ekimmu even above your mother Danika. Annaka, I think has a clue who she may be. I suspect that twin of Arianrhod's is my lost brother. I would bet you everything!” He growled.

 

“She is a nothing!” The Shouten princess hissed.

 

“I should kill you for your sacrilege bitch. She is more then you will ever be. Harm her again and I will kill you.” He said stalking closer.

 

Sanra stepped outside of the circle and he snarled in fury. Annaka was an evolved ekimmu and he was a born. He could not leave the gateways. He hissed at her and stared at Danika.

 

“Come here again my darling.” He whispered.

 

Danika was lifted against the stone and he ravaged her for Sanra's benefit. The Shouten princess was jealous but she may be nuts but she was not stupid. He ended up spilling his seed outside of her body and he cut both of his wrists; Danika fell to her knees as his ancient blood dripped over her face and down her bodice.

 

“Such a whore. Love it.” Samyaza grinned.

 

“Only man I will ever do such for. I love your power!” Danika said in ecstasy.

 

None of the three knew they were being spied on. Annaka could mask herself better then anyone would ever know. So it seemed that her nemesis Samyaza was a member of the Four Branches. She was horrified and mystified at the same time. She knew it was imperative that she bring out his latent powers and fast. She also knew she would have to do the same with Asuna. She also had no clue how to tell her lover and actual mate that she was to bear him a child.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shan Lao knew something was way off and he looked down at the beautiful half wraith baby girl. Asuna had named her Takara but he knew this baby belonged to the inu lord. He had put two and two together and Lei was asleep and he was in his ether form. Asuna was off doing her thing and he phased the cradle with him and he picked her when he phased in corporeal. She was sleeping and he phased into the Western Palace. He did not know this place well but he walked along as he felt the aura of the great inu lord. He knew this was Nia's only daughter. He also knew that the Western lord had a right to know her. He had been denied the right to raise his own children and as much as he loved Asuna; he would not allow her to make such a mistake. Sesshomaru was in the dojo and Shan Lao knocked on the massive shoji door. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and he went to the door. He slid it open and the Jing Clan leader stood there with his obvious pup.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru. Your daughter went back and retrieved your daughter. She sought to keep her hidden for a short time so that perhaps your mate would not find out. I made the decision as the clan leader that she belonged with her father.” He said laying her in his arms.

 

“You have this Sesshomaru's word of honor that I will always have your side.” He said with warm amber eyes.

 

“I do not need as such but a father deserves his child. I am certain you will face adversity by having her here but she is yours. Asuna only sought to protect you. Nia made her promise.” He stated gently.

 

Although he had been angry at his heir; he found he could not be any longer.

 

“She does not smell like this Sesshomaru.” He complained.

 

“Blood adoption. It is no matter but she can be undone. Asuna named her and I think it perfect personally. She named her sister Takara.” Shan Lao smiled.

 

Sesshomaru was deeply affected and he held the pup that he had fathered by Nia. He was now more determined then ever to save her. He admitted to himself that he loved the Besud Shouten. Augusta would have a fit. Augusta would be so angry that another onna bore him a child but he did not care. Masami had been born and so had his unnamed sister. He deserved Takara as far as he was concerned. He looked at Shan Lao and he bowed deeply. Shan Lao phased out and Sesshomaru stared at the most beautiful pup besides his Asuna.

 

“Your sister surprises this Sesshomaru. She is and was perfect in my eyes but so are you. You will be a mighty princess my little pup. You will stand beside your sister and defend our lands and your mother's. You will restore the Besud.” He said kissing her head.

 

Sesshomaru left his treasured fangs in the dojo for the moment and he carried something he treasured far more. Takara was home and he knew a moment of peace in his plans of decimation.
