Ancient Happenings in Bygone Eras

 

He stretched and unfurled his long body as the sun warmed his scaled hide. His white-blue skin was taut and stretched over sinuous muscles that moved with grace and elegance in both of his forms. The dragon was waking up from a very good sleep and his meal of manta had been delicious. He was the crown prince of the Ryuku Islands and he had one younger brother. He was a serious young man and his mother had taken her life several years back. That was the official accounting; Ryukotsusei had helped her to commit seppuku. She had been broken and destroyed and she had begged her eldest son to help her end her pain and her humiliation. It was the only thing he could do for the mother he loved with all his heart. Ryuu had wept and their father had beaten his younger brother and Ryukotsusei had come between his sire and brother. The heir to his father had almost died that day. Both brothers swore to defend each other to the end of days. Now the young prince was slightly older and much wiser. He did not openly defy his sire and he did what he was told. He hated the man and he truly prayed that the bastard would fall in battle. He was constantly in war and he knew the odds that one day somebody would destroy the bastard. He was a coward himself and he did not wish to incur the wrath of his Kamis by doing such a dishonorable thing. So the dragon brothers prayed. He heard a commotion and he heard shouts. Ryukotsusei moved quickly up the beach and another dragon was tackling an inu of all things. The inu were the other powerhouse on the islands and one being down here was no good. It was a sleek and beautiful creature he could admit and his longtime friend Ryo went to strike when the beast transformed and she let loose a flurry of yoki. He was slammed down into the power of the sand and he snorted in anger.

 

“Do it again dragon and I will eat you for dinner!” She snarled.

 

“Why are you here inu?” Ryukotsusei asked from his noh.

 

The female looked at him and she had to look up. He was startled and she was more then lovely. Ryo tried to get up and he was slammed down by invisible forces.

 

“I told you to stay down lizard! Prince Ryukotsusei, I am not here to cause issue but your fire boy here thought to be a bully so I bullied back.” She said growling.

 

Ryo was snarling and growling as he changed form and he was a young warrior. Ryukotsusei changed form and he stared at her. She bowed deeply to him and she stood up tall.

 

“Do I know you?” He asked confused.

 

“No. I am a Western bitch but I am a warrior. Hai, I know it is odd and hai, I am a weird onna. I do not really care. Have you seen or have you heard of any strange goings on of shadowy beings or perhaps foreign reptiles?” She demanded.

 

“The Mizuchi has been in contact with Longwei.” He said softly and in disgust.

 

“Has he now? Interesting. Thank you prince. Now big boy, you want to play again? I assure you that you will not win.” The female said as her eyes changed to green.

 

“I cannot let a girl beat me!” Ryo shouted.

 

“Let me explain something young Ryo but I have been reborn several times and I am really good with a katana. Now be good.” She said patting his backside.

 

The female walked by both dragons and she winked at Ryukotsusei. He actually blushed and Ryo was released from the invisible hold. He could take deep breaths and he was rasping hard. Ryukotsusei helped him up and he blinked his pale hazel eyes and Ryo blinked green ones at him.

 

“She killed a strange reptile that looked like a foreign dragon.” Ryo said in embarrassment.

 

“Does she have a name?” The prince asked.

 

“Hai. The beast called her Asuna.” His friend stated.

 

“How odd. Are you okay?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“Hai but my pride is affronted. That bitch is sexy.” He growled.

 

Ryukotsusei actually blushed again and Ryo forgot his friend was still way young and very inexperienced. Mizuchi was a whoremonger and his sons were anything but.

 

“My friend there is any number of females who would love for you to ravish them.” He pointed out.

 

“I would rather make love and not rut.” The eldest prince growled.

 

“Hai. Of course.” Ryo nodded.

 

Both men looked at where the female had been and they decided to look at the carcass of the beast she had slain. Asuna had written a note in English which neither man knew but she had written Drostan's name.

Mizuchi later stared at the dead beast known as a wyvern and he was shocked that a female had done the killing and he had also been surprised that it had been an inu. That little bit made him furious but he intended to find the little strumpet and deal with her himself. Ryo had told him what he knew and Mizuchi suspected something was different and off of the female. Ryukotsusei was silent and reserved as usual around him and he snorted. His son was a good warrior but so fucking pious like his Kami damn mother. At times he made him sick. He was in his own bedroom with one of his many concubines working him when he heard the commotion coming from the beaches. He shoved the onna off and he stood up. His hair was white but had a slight tinge of blue to it. His hazel eyes roamed the grounds and he stepped onto the shore as he tied his yukata. He caught sight of the inu bitch and she was fighting a different manner of beast. Why all of sudden his lands were infested with foreign beasts he had no clue but it angered him greatly. He grabbed his weapon and he stormed on the beach. Asuna was fighting a Shouten lackey of Sanra's and she had discovered that Sanra had been allied with a missing clan called the Sotan. They were fierce and Maec had been shocked. He mad sister may be crazy but she was intelligent crazy. Asuna thrust Konkisaiga into the ash like beast and it fell to the beach with a loud thud. It slowly changed back into its humanoid form and the man rasped hard as he bled out. The woman stood over him and he stared up at her.

 

“You serve a wicked woman.” She snarled.

 

“I serve the rightful ruler and heir to Ganek!” He snarled back.

 

“Ganek was a monster.” Asuna said in hatred.

 

“Ganek was a god!” The unknown man stated.

 

“Well so was I.” She said plunging her fang into his chest.

 

The Shouten died and slowly became dust and she turned in time to block Mizuchi's fang. He narrowed his eyes and she growled in hate.

 

“Who are you inu whore and why are you in my kingdom?” He snarled.

 

“I ought to let the Shouten fuck your world up.” She growled at him.

 

“Is that what that creature was? Why is an inu slut doing out of her house anyway? Your man let you play with his katana?” He asked smirking like a pig.

 

Asuna lost her temper and she let loose a nami that threw him back and he hit a rock. His head was bleeding and he was shocked. She stalked closer to him and grabbed his jaw in a painful grasp. She snarled like a wild onna and she had to let the prick live.

 

“Know you will get yours you piece of shit! I am way more powerful then you and know I let you suffer to live! All I need to do is let loose my yoki just enough and you would die!” She said in a profound hate.

 

His head hurt suddenly and blood dripped from his nose and eyes. He snarled out as the pressure began to get worse and he watched in horror as her eyes bled green. Ryukotsusei ran onto the beach and the onna who he had seen earlier was there and she was harming his sire. Asuna stepped back and released her grip on him and he fell to the sand.

 

“Who are you?” Mizuchi rasped.

 

“I go by many names but you may call me your majesty. You may call me highness. You will never have the honor of my true name.” She said stalking off.

 

“What are you?” The lord of the Ryuku roared.

 

“I am a Kami reborn. You are a pathetic excuse for a man and your mate could not stand her life and the site of you. She took her own life to be away from your sorry self. Know you have a special place in hell and you will burn for your crimes dragon.” She said coldly.

 

Asuna again stalked away from him and she stopped to stare at Ryukotsusei. His chest was heaving and she took his hand. She went to her knee and bowed before him. She bowed her head and she whispered but he heard her. She stated she honored him. She stated she revered “Lord Ryukotsusei”. She then ported away. Mizuchi was humiliated and in a rage but he was too ill to even contemplating hitting his son.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ryo was looking for her. She had left a swath of destruction and mayhem and he was absolutely in shock of. Ryukotsusei had been in awe of her and Mizuchi was utterly humiliated. Ryo was thrilled at that. The princes were quietly happy too. He actually drifted northwest and it was risky but he hoped to ask her questions. He stopped by a small stream and there was an onsen nearby. The young fire dragon was exhausted and he cupped his hands and drank much cool water and then went to the onsen. He looked around and then stripped his haori and hakama. His skin was burnished bronze and he had light reddish scaling in some areas but he had a fairly normal humanoid appearance. His family was noble within the Ryuku Kingdom but Mizuchi held everyone in contempt and everyone was afraid of the lord. Everyone except the inu and that odd onna.

 

“No, I am not afraid.” She said staring at him.

 

His mouth dropped open and he turned his red head. The onna stared at him and she had a slight smirk.

 

“Let me ask you something. Do you hate inu?” Asuna asked.

 

“I am not fond of most inu but I do not think them disgusting if that is what you are asking. I think they are pleasing creatures to look at but most are arrogant and think themselves better.” Ryo shrugged.

 

“You are a powerful fire dragon.” She said looking at her claws.

 

“Well I would say you are a powerful inu bitch.” He chuckled.

 

“What if I said I was not full inu?” She said meeting his green eyes.

 

“I see. What are you then?” He asked curiously.

 

“I am half inu and half kyuuketsuki.” She murmured gently.

 

He was surprised and she stepped forward. She undid her hanfu of white lace and he was stunned by her actions. She slipped into the onsen and he stared at a warrior's body. He also stared at perfect breasts.

 

“I hate Mizuchi but I can do nothing about him right now but I can know your mind and Ryukotsusei's as well. I can scent your arousal.” She smirked.

 

“Pardon that. Sorry.” He mumbled embarrassed.

 

“You see you intrigue me. You cannot have an onna beat you?” Asuna asked.

 

“I was mad. Again I am sorry.” Ryo said turning as red as his hair.

 

Asuna got right into his personal space and pressed her lips to his ear.

 

“Are you untried perhaps?” She asked amused.

 

“I am experienced.” He croaked out.

 

“Oh? You seem a bit shy.” The female said touching him.

 

“Onna! Kami.” He said breathing hard.

 

“I should tell you that my manner kyuuketsuki is a sexual predator.” She said licking at his ear.

 

“Oh hell.” He groaned out.

 

“Hai. So I should just take what I want should I not? You were thinking I was pretty and you did come looking for me were you not?” She asked.

 

“Hai I was looking for you but I am not that kind of man. I am not Mizuchi.” Ryo stated through a haze.

 

“No. You are no rapist but maybe a little overzealous in your hatred of inu.” Asuna said grinding against him.

 

“Onna!” He growled out.

 

She chuckled and she waded to the other side of the onsen. He was breathing hard and he had never been so paralyzed in lust in his life. She observed him and she watched him carefully.

 

“Why did you wish to find me?” She asked watching him.

 

“I wished to know who you were. Mizuchi is utterly powerful and you subjugated him and lack for a better word; a little bitch.” Ryo stated leaning forward.

 

“He is overly confident and he thinks too much of himself. I know of the stories of his former mate and what he did to his family. I think him a bastard. I will not kill him as it is not his time but I will show him my yoki.” She said standing unashamed.

 

“Ryukotsusei thinks you are beautiful as do I!” He blurted.

 

“I think you both are stunning. Tell him I think of him often and you intrigue me. See you around.” Asuna smiled.

 

Ryo was breathing through his nose and he was trying to regulate it. She was stunning and powerful and also very sure of herself. That alone was alluring and he shoved down that damn lust. When he looked again and she was gone.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna had moved on to Europe and everything always went back to this wretched place. She really hated many of the daemons from this continent but she also really loved a few as well. She had become embroiled in her little basilisk group and it made her mad when Gabrielus and Valerian came to her and she was wild with them. When Gabrielus came upon her himself and he did that in secret; he whispered such licentious and naughty things. The white told her that he loved her and his last visit had been hot and heavy. He had managed to tell her between his passionate movements and fervent stroking that he worshiped her and he always would. She had fallen back and breathed out through her mouth and his kiss altered her mind. She was now in this time frame and it was sad to her to think that the whites were treated with such depravity but she could see how the Latium and Rhine reds would wish to keep such sensual creatures. She was in the most northern part of Italy and she was searching for the elusive Sotan. Little back stabbing tribe of Shouten were nasty little buggars and she intended to bring them to Astana and make them face Maec. A smile spread on her face as she settled in the mountains. It was brisk and it had been good for her soul to beat up on Mizuchi. She still hated the bastard for what he had done to her as Sorami. She decided she would visit Ryu soon but she had to try and narrow down where these lost Shouten were. Asuna fell asleep and she was gently snoring as the night had fallen. It was a beautiful night and the different creatures had come out. She did not know that she was being watched and a basilisk was staring at her from his cave. He moved soundlessly and he came within feet of her and he stared at her as he blinked his pale green eyes. The femmina whoever she was slept deeply and he lowered his head and tasted the air around her. He was near her face with his reptile one and her eyes opened. She saw a white and her breath hitched. The intelligence she saw in those eyes and he only blinked his eyes.

 

“You are sleeping in very bad area femmina. There are many reptiles here.” He lisped.

 

“I am not afraid of reptiles basilisk.” Asuna replied.

 

“You know what I am, si?” The obviously intelligent male said tasting along her neck and face.

 

She giggled a little and his eyes were odd. They appeared less reptilian and had round pupils. He changed into his humanoid form and smiled at her. His white mane was long and slightly wavy and silky.

 

“What is your name femmina?” He asked fingering her hair.

 

“I am Asuna and what is your name?” She asked gently.

 

“I am Pholus.” He said more interested in her hair and skin.

 

“Are you a wild white?” Asuna asked softly.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

“You have never been a slave?” She asked.

 

“No! I refuse to be anyone's slave. I kill black and reds who try.” He said with a heavy accent.

 

“Are you like most whites?” She asked staring at his eyes.

 

“Do I like femmina and men? Si but I like femmina a little more. I think I like this femmina more.” He said brazenly.

 

She was flat on her back and she was staring up at a very beautiful face but he was strong. He was exceedingly strong.

 

 

“How old are you?” She asked.

 

“Old enough. Why do you care?” He asked eyeing her breasts.

 

“Because I know a white who was raised in Latium.” She said flatly.

 

He frowned and that got his attention. He was curious and he sat back on his heels. She blinked at him and he blinked at her.

 

“Why do you speak when so much more pleasant things can occur?” Pholus said.

 

“Why are you so intent on ravishing a stranger?” Asuna asked miffed.

 

“Because I can?” He asked confused.

 

She snorted in amusement and she watched him be annoyed. He sat and he waited. He was not really in a mood to converse and he was positive he tasted blood drinker on her and he knew he could have a grand time but the femmina wanted to chat. He hated chatty mammals. They were a bore. She heard his mind and she blanched. He only blinked at her and she rolled her eyes.

 

“Really you are a riot but I normally do not try and copulate with every male I meet. Hai I do have empusae in me but I try to have morals which at times get blown to hell and back and you basilisk are really good at blowing them but not today.” She warned him.

 

“So? Who makes these ridiculous rules?” He snorted.

 

Asuna was certain this was Gabrielus's father and he looked at her oddly. He neared her face and he really had no qualms getting into her personal space.

 

“Who is Gabrielus?” He asked scenting her neck again.

 

“Pardon me? I did not speak.” She stated.

 

“I heard your mind. Why does that surprise you?” He asked licking her neck.

 

Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. Pholus took the opportunity to kiss her. She groaned immediately as he was really good at it. She ripped her lips away and stared at him and she wanted to hit her lover. He was looking at her oddly and she was thinking very bad thoughts indeed.

 

“This white did not tell you that he is telepathic?” He asked amused.

 

“Uh no. I must go Pholus but it has been an honor to meet you.” She said bowing.

 

“You are no fun femmina!” He pouted.

 

“So sorry.” Asuna said porting out.

 

He sighed and the beautiful mammal had escaped. He narrowed his eyes and he had heard a few interesting things. He hoped she would come back and he would hunt her again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“You are telepathic?” She yelled as she walked into her base of operations in Rome.

 

“What are you going on about femmina?” Gabrielus asked surprised.

 

“Are you telepathic or not?” Asuna demanded.

 

“A little.” He said shrugging.

 

“I should have sensed it. Damn it Gabrielus after all we have shared as of late; you should have said something.” She snapped.

 

“Well I have never had an opportunity to develop it femmina! I have been amongst deaf blacks, si? How do you suggest I strengthen it?” He asked raising a white brow.

 

“I can see that. I met a white.” She said crossing her arms.

 

“Did you? How fascinating!” He said standing.

 

“Gabrielus you look a lot like him.” She said wrapping her arms around his waist.

 

“I told you I do not know who my real father was femmina so it is possible he is. I cannot imagine he would care if he fathered a child and I imagine I have siblings I do not know.” He chuckled.

 

“He did seem rather amorous.” She said kissing his shoulder.

 

“I am certain he was.” Gabrielus murmured leaning back and capturing her lips.

 

It was languid and passionate and Valerian cleared his throat. He slipped in and wrapped his arms around Asuna and began nipping her throat. She groaned softly and these two were helping her hunt the wyvern and Sotan clan. They covered up for each other and it was debauched they knew but it worked.

 

“Smell so good femmina. I am going to hunt and perhaps you can lie down and let me lick you?” Valerian asked joking.

 

“Um not right now.” She said flatly.

 

“Oh no!” Gabrielus whined.

 

“Do me a favor and enjoy each other and make sure to have a repeat performance for me, okay?” Asuna said getting out of their hold.

 

She wanted to laugh because they both were pouting. She bowed and she went back to Japan. Gabrielus shook his head and looked at Valerian.

 

“No fun. I am in the mood for mammal.” The white growled.

 

“Si me too.” Valerian agreed.

 

Both men sighed and they both decided to hunt.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna had boldly entered the dragon castle on Kume and she knew where Ryukotsusei's old rooms were. She was being very, very bad but she could not help it. Ryukotsusei had entered her inner heart and she loved him truly, madly, and very deeply. He was sleeping and his long hair was undone and spread out around him. He was covered by a thin silk sheet and she watched him as her heart pounded. Asuna slowly undid her kimono and Ryukotsusei felt a brush of skin against his and his hazel eyes opened. He sucked in his breath and there was the female warrior who had shown up several weeks ago.

 

“What is going on?” Ryukotsusei asked surprised.

 

“Shhh. I had to see you.” Asuna murmured as she whispered in his ear.

 

“Why?” The dragon prince asked blushing.

 

“Because. Your friend told me you thought me beautiful. Did he speak the truth?” She asked nuzzled against his ear.

 

“Hai. I think you are beautiful but this is not…” Ryu tried to say.

 

Asuna captured his lips and he was surprised. She kept the touch of lips gentle and seeking only as she wanted to coax him into passion. She wanted him keening, so soft it stayed and tender too. Ryukotsusei was taken with the mellow kisses and he tentatively began to return her ardor with just a little more pressure to it and he lifted his hand to thread into her silver tresses. Her soft lips were teasing and tantalizing him and she flicked her tongue against his seam of his mouth and he made a small noise. Ryukotsusei opened his mouth and she slipped her tongue inside and he groaned immediately. Asuna was eager to run her tongue along his and he trembled a little as he came to life it seemed. He clutched her and he followed her lead. He began to return the passionate tangle of tongue and sweeping along of teeth. She realized he must be a natural kisser and Asuna was moaning much and he slowly pulled away from her mouth. Ryu stared at her face and he was surprised at his own wantonness. Asuna arched her head up and kissed his lips and his eyes slid shut as he again kissed her back. The intense petting was getting him worked up and needy as hell but he was trying to control his lust. She managed to control herself as well and she actually guided him to spoon her form and only press his naked form to hers. She breathed hard and clutched his thigh and he said nothing but kneaded her hip. This moment was erotic and passionate as it could be but she was actually being honorable he thought and his lips brushed her neck.

 

“What is this onna?” He asked in a deep voice laced with desire.

 

“Obsession, ardor, worship, adoration, devotion; please take your pick.” Asuna murmured lacing her fingers in his.

 

“Ryo whispered to me that you have kyuuketsuki in you. What does that mean?” Ryu asked.

 

“It means that I can take in blood as sustenance as well as yoki through the sexual act. It is quite a way to feed I assure you.” She smirked.

 

“Succubus.” He said in understanding.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“I have heard legends. Do you kill?” He inquired.

 

“No. I am too inu for that. I like men though. I require many and I am very territorial. I have some of my loves that I love with my whole soul and being. I love much and often but the intensity in which I do can be crippling to me.” She replied honestly.

 

The dragon prince considered and he continued to run his hand along her soft flesh.

 

“So do you need the act now?” He asked.

 

“I can control myself.” Asuna said softly.

 

“I almost wish you did need it.” Ryukotsusei said barely audible.

 

“I will loose control with you.” She said rolling to face him.

 

“Will you? Why?” He asked searching his face.

 

“I cannot say that.” She trembled.

 

“I have only had an onna once at my sire's insistence. He told me that it was a disgrace that his son and heir was still untried. I was mortified and prayed it was over quickly.” He said in a low growl.

 

“Was the onna as mortified?” She asked raising a brow.

 

“She was probably a well paid geisha of some sort. I know not nor do I care.” He sighed.

 

Asuna met his lips again and he made a beautiful noise as she took him in hand. It was always such an emotional event with him. It was always such a tie and binding with this man and she relished it now. She stroked him and he threw back his head and made soft groans. Her thumb played along his slit and crown as she wanted him to feel from her exactly what he brought out in her.

 

“Why does this feel so perfect? Why does this not feel dirty?” Ryukotsusei moaned out.

 

Asuna could not answer and she lowered her mouth. He was suddenly still and the sensation of her tongue made him tremble violently. Asuna was loving and laved such attention on his maleness that he was to the edge. The young dragon was laid out and on display as she took him with her mouth and throat. He groaned and sighed as he felt the rush of an intense high begin to take him. She lifted her mouth and her eyes were green as she hovered her mouth over his.

 

“Should you like to taste yourself?” The beautiful creature asked him.

 

“Do you enjoy it?” He asked almost shyly.

 

“Hai.” She whispered in such a sultry tone.

 

“Then hai.” He whispered.

 

Asuna kissed him and used her tongue to lash against his. His head was fuzzy as he tasted the salty essence. It was different but he did not recoil. He was experiencing such potent rapture that he could not stop. His partner lifted her mouth slowly as she nibbled his lips and he sighed as she did so.

 

“Are you sleepy? Tell me if you wish to stop. This pleases me to no end.” Asuna said.

 

“I wish to do something if I may.” He mumbled.

 

“Hai. Anything.” She whispered in a low voice.

 

He sat up and he laid her back. He softly kissed her thigh and spread her open. He gazed upon her female flesh and his heart beat harder. Ryukotsusei took a deep breath and lowered his own head licked at her glistening labia. She made a soft sigh of contentment and he settled himself comfortably and he held onto her thighs. The young dragon began to run his tongue all along her opening and hooded clit and the sensations grew more and she made louder noises. Soon he was getting more aroused and finding what licks and sucks made her wild. Ryu took his time and Asuna was breathless as she cried out in short, sharp gasps as the pleasure became intense. He could feel her body tense up and her skin became flushed in a beautiful pink color and she gushed suddenly. He was entranced as he licked at it. He found it pleasing and he began to lave at it intensely. Asuna was in an altered reality it seemed like and even as a young man her dragon was incredible. She was now out of control and she trembled violently. Ryukotsusei had his own length in hand and he stroked himself as he tasted her and he groaned at her female flesh.

 

“Kami please!” She said with a pleading tone.

 

“Do you truly wish this?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“Hai! Ryu please.” She begged.

 

He was stunned by her use of his nickname and he moved up her body. Asuna eagerly met his mouth and she pumped his length along with him and he moaned into her mouth as they kissed slowly. She slowly guided him to her and he pushed in. He barely pulled his lips away and he breathed hard as their bodies were united. The young dragon man was dizzy and the emotional pull was powerful. This was not just a physical act he realized and this onna was making love. Their bodies met and it was so beautiful as the tremors of feeling left him winded. Her hands were not stilled as they roamed his back and to his butt. She would thread them in his hair and wrapped her legs around his hips. The pleasure mounted higher and higher as it became heavier in the room. Ryukotsusei was gasping for deeper breaths and he was loosing cohesion. The beautiful onna was rasping too and she was moaning out and yelping softly in inu. She suddenly sank her fangs into his neck and he shoved himself into her deeply as the eruption overcame them both.

 

“Kamis!” He cried out as his seed spilled.

 

She released his throat and she sought his mouth again. He let himself thoroughly enjoy it and he was taken in the full release of joy and passion with this stranger but he knew in his heart that she was not. He somehow knew she was someone important to him and he did not even bother to ask her name.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was languid and she stretched out as Ryukotsusei still slept. She sat up and yawned as she looked around. She yelped when she saw Mizuchi. He was sitting in his son's room and he was glaring at her with malice and hate and the young prince came to as well. He sat up and they were only covered by a silk sheet.

 

“You are fucking my son?” He asked coldly.

 

“I promise much better then you.” She snapped.

 

Ryu growled for her to stay quiet and Mizuchi stood up and he was furious. He went to dive for her throat and Asuna raised her hand and he was thrown backwards. She willed her kimono into her hands and she dressed quickly. Mizuchi watched as a dagger appeared in her hand and he stared at her in shock.

 

“I hate you! Tianlong hates you! Most dragons hate you!” She said with such malice.

 

“Oh really? How would you know slut?” Mizuchi asked in anger.

 

“Because I have first hand knowledge murderer and rapist! You fucking bastard. You lay a hand on Ryukotsusei and I will dog your steps and nail your testicles to a wall!” Asuna screamed.

 

“How dare you! Who the hell are you to tell me what to do with my own son?” He snarled.

 

“I am the mother to his son and only daughter. I assure you that I hold much sway with Lord Ryukotsusei.” She said slashing his face with her dagger.

 

Ryukotsusei got up and wrapped his sheet around him. The onna was here how he did not know but he was stunned. She had spoken of who she was and he was floored. What she did next further stunned him and she stabbed his father through his left chest and Mizuchi could not move.

 

“You murder and ravage innocents but I tell you that I will not be your victim Mizuchi. I will never be your victim and I will gladly spit upon your remains!” She said with a tremendous snarl.

 

She jerked back her dagger and she whirled on Ryu. He could only stare at her and she kissed him passionately.

 

“I love you. Remember that for always.” She said as she ported away.

 

The young dragon was speechless and his father bled all over his tatami mats. Happiness at seeing his father brought low made him happy but the actions would bring consequences he knew. He sighed and he actually helped his sire up.

 

“Who was that whore?” Mizuchi growled in a terrible tone.

 

“My lord I did not know her name. I meant no offense to you sir.” He said with feigned respect.

 

“Right. You brat! You kissed your mother's ass. I saw it. You are weak!” He hissed.

 

Ryukotsusei said nothing and his father stormed away. Rage built in him and he prayed the onna spoke the truth. He prayed that she did have his children. He refused to be the kind of man his own father was. He refused to be a monster.

Battle deep and what seemed like rivers of blood. The paths of fate seemed to lead always further back and always back to familiar areas. Back to Roma and back to the Circles. Back to the reptiles and back to the blood of life. She whirled and slashed in an ancient battle as she followed where the clues led. Sanra was getting reckless it seemed and was weaving through history. She was beginning to learn her calling cards well and the Shouten princess was getting more and more afraid it seemed. It only made Asuna more and more determined. Sanra fed on great tragedy and great sorrows and would use such to forward her ancient “spells” and potions per say. Asuna knew it was blood magics. It sickened her and it made Sanra more twisted and more evil. She began to believe that the Shouten princess intended to raise her father. She began to believe that Aizen housed only part of him but she was searching a way of fully restoring him now. When she had helped to kill Ganek; she had assumed she would always control Maec, she had thought wrong. Asuna hit a boulder and she coughed up blood. She had been hunting down powerful reptiles that thwarted her and her kin in the future and it had been a successful idea. This battle was deep in Italy and she was fighting dragons of the European persuasion. She was fighting a fierce green and she ducked and parried as it stabbed and sliced. Asuna jumped over the green and she shoved her fang backwards into the side of the massive man and he fell. His green eyes held shock and Asuna looked up on a rocky outcrop. A man with jet black hair stood. Part of his hair was pulled back and the length came past his waist. He was thin but she could see he had sinfully beautiful muscle. His face was so beautiful that she stopped. The man was obviously basilisk but as he was obviously male; his face had such beauty. His pale reddish eyes fixed on her and she only stared. Her battle hanfu was covered in blood and he slowly made his way down the rocks. He wore a black tunic with silver armor and she tried to breathe. The closer he got the better she could see his features. Asuna's chest heaved and this was Julianus Gnaeus Servius, this man was the father of Amedeo.

 

“Hello.” He said in such a cultured and masculine tone.

 

She wanted to melt right there and she only stared at him.

 

“Are you injured femmina?” Julianus asked.

 

“No.” Asuna replied in Latin.

 

“You fought well. May I ask why you fight a green dragon in my kingdom?” He inquired.

 

“He serves wyvern and I have sworn death to all wyvern.” She said with a dry throat.

 

“They are uncultured and disgusting swine.” He nodded.

 

His fingers were long and elegant and his claws were immaculate. He wore a silver ring on his right index finger and a black ring on his left ring finger and a red ring on his middle finger of his right hand. She recognized the red ring as the family crest and she met his eyes. He perused her and he was a specimen. Asuna had seen him in Amedeo's memories but not like this and not in the flesh.

 

“Femmina what are you and why do you stare at me so?” He asked near her ear.

 

“I am a cane.” Asuna murmured.

 

“A cane? Where do you hail from?” Julianus asked looking at her closely.

 

“Asia.” She breathed.

 

“Far away. Excellent movement and form femmina. I am glad to see it. Good to meet you.” He said stepping away and walking on.

 

She let out her breath and her damn heart was thudding wildly. She turned and he was still inspecting the carnage.

 

“You are beautiful!” She yelled out.

 

He looked back at her and a smile curved his lips. She was a goner. He was so freakishly beautiful and she walked to him and got in his personal space.

 

“I hate the wyvern. I hate them passionately.” She blurted.

 

“Si. I am no fan of them myself. Why do you hate them so?” He asked.

 

“A Celtic wyvern would have murdered my child and my husband almost committed suicide. I made a deal with a pythos and stopped it.” Asuna said softly.

 

“Apollo?” Julianus asked highly curious.

 

“Hai.” She said in Japanese.

 

His brows knitted and this femmina intrigued him greatly. For her to have sought the ancient serpent was incredible and the fact that she was mammal was highly irregular. It suggested she was somehow tied to another serpent and that intrigued him.

 

“I am half empusae.” She admitted.

 

“Are you? Do not divulge that to my people. You are welcome to come to my home and tell me of your woes. I shall see if it is possible to aid you in this venture.” He said suddenly running a finger under her chin.

 

Asuna bowed to him and he only watched her. He nodded and when he looked up; she was gone.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She did go and she was inside his palace. He favored black it seemed and his hair was down. He wore a chiton and he was elegantly but simply dressed. She stepped out from the pillars and they stared at the other.

 

“Before we speak much more femmina; you do know that the basilisk and most snake like serpents are drawn to your kind?” He said circling her.

 

“Hai.” She said breathless.

 

“Something in our history that says that one of your kind mated one of mine. Legend but I believe it.” Julianus whispered.

 

“I am in relation to the former queen of the empusae. Her name was Annka Novak.” She said breathing harder.

 

“She disappeared. No one knows what became of her.” He said softly.

 

“She is now an ekimmu.” She stated stepping closer.

 

“I am not sure what that is.” The basilisk king said.

 

She lost it and she crashed her mouth to his. He snarled against her mouth and it was brutal as he sought to dominate her. Her mind was not functioning and she was trying to understand. She did not get this stupid around Valerian or Gabrielus. She did not get quite this dumb around Amedeo and she was against a pillar. Julianus pulled his mouth back and he breathed along her jaw.

 

“I am barely controlling myself. I wish to drive my cock into your heat femmina. I wish to strap you to my bed and hear your screams of pleasure. I want to feel you bury your teeth into me.” He breathed harshly.

 

“No idea why it is this strong. I normally handle being around basilisk a little better.” Asuna stated husking.

 

She felt his serpent tongue along her jaw and she shut her eyes. She gave it up and she jerked his head to the side. She sank her fangs hard and he let out such a deep viper cry. Asuna drank his addicting blood and it was a serious and heavy mental trip. She did not even realize she had cut her fleshy part of her breast and Julianus was drinking her blood next. The Latium rex was passionately licking and sucking at the amazing elixir that many of his kind had been known to kill for. They had sunk to the floor and it was obscenely decadent how he was laid against her as he ravished her mammalian breast. He was still dressed and so was she but his body was taut with need and he only imagined what her mammal body felt like. Julianus lifted his head and they were both high as hell and filled with lust.

 

“Not normal for me femmina. I am quite calculating and not given to amor with strangers.” He admitted openly.

 

“I see.” She said in a beastly tone.

 

His eyes were brighter red and hers were straight up red. She crashed her lips to his and she sought his reptilian tongue. He moaned as she ravished him and that was exactly what she was doing. Asuna was out of her mind and she ripped his chiton from him. She shimmied out of her own grey silk and his eyes roved her form briefly before she kissed down his perfect stomach and his nestle of black curls. She sucked and nipped at his flawless manhood. Julianus made such cries as the passion consumed him and this ethereal creature stole his breath. She did not stop and he lifted his head and gasped out in serpent's tongue when she tongued his whole nether region. Asuna sank her fangs into his femoral artery and the rush took him again. She watched his picture perfect cock twitch and the angelic looking man arched off the marble floor as thick white seed came from him.

 

“Oh si! Si! Si!” He cried out loudly.

 

She moved back to his quivering member and licked up the shaft and laved up all the spilled semen. She was growling softly and she was suppressing her beast badly. Julianus felt utterly drained and he opened his eyes and she was gone. He was laid on the floor of his bedroom and his black hair was haloed around him and his thighs were wide open and he had been ravished thoroughly by the empusae cane. Julianus caught his breath and he had heard of the beautiful creatures killing basilisk in a sexual craze before. This femmina had expert control and he was surprised. He still laid there and the orgasm had been intense. It would do no good for his servants to find their rex laid out like a common whore. He made himself get up and retire to his bed and he fell into an exhausted sleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was truly out of her mind and she was trembling terribly. She had left before she had impaled herself on him and she had grabbed her silks. She slipped into the villa she was sharing with her basilisk lovers and she slammed Valerian against a wall. She was snarling out of control and she sank her fangs into his neck. He cried out and she was growling out wildly the whole time.

 

“Femmina? Oh Gods what is going on? Si harder. Femmina please! What is wrong? Oh Gods I think you are going to kill me. Fuck! What a way to go.” He groaned.

 

She made herself pull back and he sank down the wall. His blood stained her lips and she jerked his chiton up. She sank down on him and he cried out weakly as she wildly rutted him and Valerian knew something had occurred to stir her beast. Something had driven her over an edge and he was straining badly. He truly thought he might be fucked to death and he actually grinned. He would want his tombstone to say so. Her muscles clamped down so hard that he had a tremendous release and she screamed out. Gabrielus ran into the villa and she was growling still.

 

“She is not responding.” Valerian said in a sloppy voice.

 

“Good Gods mi amor you look debauched.” Gabrielus said frowning.

 

“Shut up! Gabrielus, now!” Asuna growled out.

 

“Femmina? Can you answer?” He demanded.

 

“I need you!” She snarled at him.

 

She crawled off of Valerian and she was now green eyed. Gabrielus stumbled outside and she actually changed form. He stared up at her and she was growling at him. He changed form too and he was tackled. The white was subdued by the silver cane and what happened made him out of his mind too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was asleep between them both and the black and the white basilisk were exhausted. She had drained them heavily and it was Valerian who woke up first. He yawned and he stared down at her. She had a bite on her breast that he could not remember giving her. Valerian leaned down and scented it and then licked it. It had a tiny bit of venom in it and it was slowly healing. Another basilisk had touched her but she had not rutted. He was certain of that and he was shocked. She had backed away from another of their kind and took it out on them. He grinned and began to massage her back. Asuna groaned in her sleep and she whimpered a little.

 

“You had a busy night, si?” He said slapping her butt.

 

“Hai.” She moaned.

 

“So who did you run into that sent you into such a crazy lust?” Valerian asked amused.

 

“Julianus Servius.” Asuna whispered.

 

“Pardon? We are back that far?” He asked stunned.

 

“Hai. You know of his father?” She asked rolling to her side.

 

“Si! He was renowned! They said he was an amazing rex. They said he was beloved amongst our people; as much or more then Amedeo, who by the way was very much loved. The rumors were he was beautiful and perfect, blessed by Jupiter himself. His reign was blessed too until the end. I barely remember him and I did not see him often. Gabrielus met him a few times, si?” He asked the white as he came to slowly.

 

“Si. He was an enigmatic man. He was beautiful. Amedeo defied his father after his death.” He shrugged.

 

“Hai that was him. He had black hair and very light red eyes. His features are very fine and he is elegance itself. He has a regal air and he speaks well with deep masculine tones.” She said.

 

“Si.” Gabrielus nodded.

 

“Wow!” Valerian said impressed.

 

“So he tasted you femmina?” The white asked.

 

“I lost it. I took his blood first. I cannot explain it. I get that way around Amedeo too sometimes.” She blushed madly.

 

“Servius blood.” The black basilisk replied.

 

“Is it special?” She asked raising a brow.

 

“They are the royal line. They are supposedly descended from the Gods themselves. Maybe there is truth, no?” Gabrielus said.

 

They continued to talk and she planned to avoid Julianus. His blood made her an animal and she could not handle it. Besides the fact that he was like a Greco-Roman god and that in of itself made her about turn into mush. Sometimes it sucked being what she was. Amedeo had almost the same allure but there was something else in Julianus and it made her berserk.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He forced himself not to search for her as he knew what it was. It was not true amor but the spell of their blood. It was a shame for she was truly a beautiful creature and she was an excellent warrior. He could find her endlessly entertaining but one had to be careful with the alluring blood drinkers as they could take the life of a serpent in less then a heart beat. Julianus was no fool and he knew the ins and outs of much. He had two small sons already and he stood in the palace nursery and he watched his eldest son fondly as the half red boy was playing with his stone blocks. Amedeo was a happy child. Antonia had been his deep love and she had been red. It had been an odd thing for him to do but he did not question his heart. She had died in childbirth and he had wept openly. His concubine had provided him with Fabius eighteen months later. His sons did not get along well and Fabius always seemed jealous of Amedeo. The older boy always tried to be nice to his younger brother but his full blooded son was mean. He sighed and he foresaw issue.

 

“Amedeo! Come see Papa.” He commanded.

 

His eldest came over and he sat in his lap.

 

“Come sta mio figlio?” Julianus asked Amedo.

 

“Papà, sto bene.” Young Amedeo said brightly.

 

“Si?” The rex asked lifting his son's chin.

 

“Si. Fabius is not smile.” He replied frowning a little.

 

“I shall speak to him. You are a good boy.” He said kissing each cheek.

 

“Thank you Papa!” His heir said kissing his cheeks in return.

 

Julianus watched his child jump up and go play and he contemplated his life. He missed his wife very much. She had only been gone for four years and he had not been intimate regularly. They had only been married for five years before she had given him Amedeo. He just sat on the steps and thought of his kingdom and the strange femmina and the odd occurrence in his rooms. He sighed heavily and stood up. He blew a kiss to his sons and he left their nursery. He decided a hunt on horseback would be interesting if not distracting. His kingdom was in peace at the moment and he just was not given to flights of passion very often. His main goal had been bringing his kingdom peace after constant warfare and infighting. He climbed onto the back of his demon horse and he left the small city that he had built. It was a little cold and he had on a black cloak and his long black hair whipped behind him as he rode. He heard swords clashing and shouts of several. He slowed his steed and he slid down his demon mount. He strode to the top of the hill and looked down. There was the femmina and she was fighting other daemons. She was bloody and she was rasping badly. Julianus frowned and the creatures she was fighting were ganging up on her. He did not like it and he slid down the small hill. Asuna was fighting several Sotan Shouten and Sanra had hit her with something. She was not seeing well and the bitch had taken off. She fell and she screamed out as a Sotan put a katana through her stomach. She coughed up blood and it was ugly at the devastation.

 

“In fiery flame by starlight pale, in shadowy host that rides the gale!” Julianus roared as he lifted his broad sword.

 

The swath of a shadowy venom cloud was released and the Sotan who dared look at the basilisk rex fell dead. Asuna pressed hands to the wounds and she shrieked out in pain as she trembled.

 

“Femmina look at me.” He said calmly standing.

 

She turned green eyes to him and there was terrible pain on her face.

 

“I have the best physicians in all of Europe femmina. I will get you better.” He said picking her up.

 

He shifted back to his palace and the stink of herbs and other magical concoctions were all over the female. She was in pain and it was awful to see her as such. Julianus directed that she be made comfortable and he knew to call on his Egyptian neighbors. There were large numbers of blood drinkers in the famed land and he was friendly with the cane pharaohs.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Anupu was amongst a feast and he was still bitter as hell but he had shut out his anger yet again. He had returned to his life and he had moved on. The pain had not been worth it to him and he was just tired. An announcement was made and a being he did not know well but was known of walked in. It was the king of the serpents in Italy and he waved him.

 

“Pharaoh Hor-aha?” Julianus said bowing low.

 

“Yes Rex Julianus Gnaeus Servius I believe.” He said eyeing the basilisk.

 

“Si. I rule The Basilisk Latium Kingdom in Italy. I have a strange request majesty but it is of utmost importance. My lands have recently been filled with strange beings and I know your own lands have been filled with issue but I know your physicians know how to deal with the sangue bevitore di.” Julianus said.

 

His words got Anupu's attention and he nodded.

 

“My half brother and our crown prince is half uppyr. My personal physician is well acquainted with them as well. You may take him with you if you wish.” Anupu said bored.

 

Julianus bowed low and the pharaoh called on Anum. The Egyptian physician came in and he bowed before the basilisk king and he bowed before his pharaoh. The Italian serpent wasted no time and shifted out with the doctor. He brought the cane physician to the femmina who was suffering terribly and Anum gasped in terrible shock.

 

“Oh my Gods.” He said falling to his knees.

 

“What is it physician?” Julianus asked eyeing him.

 

“Rex! Please return to Egypt and get Pharaoh Hor-aha. Please!” He cried.

 

Julianus was surprised by the request but did as he was asked. He shifted back and Anupu was surprised as to his appearance and the basilisk bowed.

 

“Your physician has asked that you come with me great pharaoh.” He said bowing.

 

“Anum asked that? How odd. Okay.” He shrugged.

 

He stood up and his chest was bare but he wore a long linen kilt and heavy gold belt and necklace. He wore only a circlet crown and his black hair was past his shoulders. He allowed the basilisk to touch his elbow and he was shifted to Italy. He stepped into the airy room and he suddenly felt like he had been sucker punched. Anum was checking on the love of his long life and she was bad ill.

 

“Asuna.” He whispered.

 

“You know this femmina then?” Julianus asked.

 

“Yes. She is my sister in law.” He said formally.

 

“Majesty! She has been poisoned most insidiously. Whatever was used is not allowing her body to heal.” Anum said in a shushed tone.

 

Anupu felt as though his feet weighed a ton and he forced himself to move forward. She was feverish and her skin was hot. He sank down on the bed and he shut his dark brown eyes. He took her hand and he bit his lip.

 

“Anum, go to Egypt and drag forth every resource you have to. Bring Minkah as well.” He said in a trembling voice.

 

“You wish me to bring your brother my king?” The physician asked surprised.

 

“He needs to see his mother.” He said in Egyptian.

 

Anum nodded and he ported out. Julianus was intrigued but he stayed quiet. Anupu was obviously very upset and he was actually shaking. He had thought to never see her again and his chest heaved.

 

“You care very much for her si?” The basilisk asked.

 

“Yes.” He said choked up.

 

“Your father was a great man and I admired him greatly. I was most grieved by his passing.” Julianus stated.

 

“Thank you. I know the basilisk have had their own issue as well.” Anupu said choking.

 

“If I had known I would have aided you.” He said softly.

 

“I believe you.” The pharaoh said.

 

Minkah and Anum ported in moments later and the Egyptian prince cried out. His hands shook badly and he was speaking rapid Japanese. He looked at Anupu and he was raging badly.

 

“I smell Shouten! She tangled with a Shouten, Anupu! Those filthy beasts did this! I will kill them! I will kill them!” He snarled.

 

“You will be smart Minkah!” Anupu growled.

 

“She is my mother!” He screamed.

 

“I know brother but you also know she would skin me alive if harm came to you.” His eldest brother growled.

 

“You love her Anupu and you left! You are a coward. We are Egyptian and if anyone understands anything then it was our father. I am not you and I will not be a coward!” Minkah hissed in anger.

 

Anupu lost his temper and he smacked his brother. Julianus held the younger cane and he was snarling,

 

“This femmina is seriously ill and I do not understand your language well enough to follow everything but it is no good to fight right now. Young man please take a walk for a few minutes, si?” He said calmly.

 

“Fine.” The Egyptian prince snarled.

 

Anupu's chest heaved and he watched his youngest brother leave and he stared at the Italian serpent.

 

“You love her?” He asked calmly.

 

“Yes. I have loved her in this life and her previous one.” He said with tears stinging his eyes.

 

“Si. Our physicians will figure this out. Do you drink wine?” Julianus asked.

 

The basilisk poured some wine for himself and the pharaoh. Anupu drained his and Julianus sipped his. Anum and the basilisk doctor worked on her for some time and they sat down to dinner. The rex had his sons join him and he spoke in Latin and asked them what they learned that day. Anupu realized how screwed up this was and he recognized the boy. He kept his council and Anum came out and he looked exhausted.

 

“Majesty. The prince was able to drain much of the tainted blood. He also gave her some in return. I have given her much medicine too. I have also sent Prince Minkah to Asia to find some spiders. He tells me some of their venoms are good pain relievers.” He said softly.

 

“Very good. Is she sleeping?” He asked.

 

“No. She is awake and she has requested to see you.” Anum said softly.

 

He stiffened and he nodded. He stood up and he drifted into the room where she was. Asuna looked weak and terrible and he moved very slowly.

 

“Anupu.” She whispered.

 

“Asuna. Why are you here?” He asked hoarsely.

 

“Following my enemy.” Asuna whispered in Egyptian.

 

“I left to stay away and you show up. I wish to rid myself of my feelings! How can I ever get over you when I can never be rid of you!” Anupu said as tears spilled down his face.

 

“I did not intend to show up Anupu. I did not ask for your help. Where am I?” She asked weakly.

 

“Rome. You are in Rome where your basilisk husband is but a child.” He hissed.

 

She struggled to sit up and she failed. He was in emotional pain and he looked away.

 

“I will leave my physician here and Minkah is insisting to help as well. He does not listen and is ass wild like his mother. He loves you too as we all do. I will not torture myself anymore!” He said clenching his fists and blood dripped to the floor.

 

“Anupu please.” She whispered pleading.

 

“NO! You conned me into returning before and I did. I believed that I would have a place in your life but I was again nothing. I will always love you but I am not that strong.” He growled.

 

“You left before I could try and explain.” She said with a cracking voice.

 

“My father? My own father? He loved you so much. I remember how much he loved you! Gods Asuna!” He said with his own voice raw.

 

Tears fell down her face and her throat ached. He sighed and his heart just hurt.

 

“I told you before I wish I had never met you and I wish I never had. I wish you well and I pray you finally beat this evil.” He said bowing.

 

Asuna managed to roll to her side and she cried softly. Anupu could not handle being around her and the pain he felt was a black hole in his soul. Things hurt so badly and things had changed in his own personal history. He had no pups and his own life had not occurred with Akemi. He did not know but she did. She began to weep and Minkah was soon returned. He scowled and he sat down on her bed too. He picked her up and held her to him.

 

“Haha?” He asked running his hand through her hair.

 

“I have hurt him so much.” She sobbed.

 

“He is an idiot. He has to be all pharaoh. Well I tell you to go and make him suffer for it!” He said looking at her.

 

“Too weak.” She smiled softly.

 

“Well I will bring you home. So sorry. I am so sorry. Papa would not let me go anywhere or do anything. Even when he died. He made Anupu swear it too. Made Shezmu swear. Hell he made the whole damn court swear that his baby was not allowed out of Egypt.” He growled.

 

“He did as I asked.” Asuna said palming his cheek.

 

“Haha, I am not a baby. I can help you damn it! I am a good fighter and I hate the fucking Shouten. I am good at killing them. Let me come to the modern era, please! I also know my Papa is there reborn.” He said stubbornly.

 

“Hai okay.” She sighed.

 

He smiled in triumph and he sat and chatted with her until she fell asleep. He grinned as he stood up and he could tell she would get well but it would take some time. Julianus observed and the cane ported away. He stepped in and he stood by the bed. Asuna barely woke up and she stared into his face. Her heart hammered like it had the other night and he appeared calm.

 

“Thank you.” She mumbled.

 

“No issue. The Egyptian is very upset.” He replied.

 

“It is a very long story. I owe you much.” Asuna said in a whisper.

 

“Perhaps you can tell me what it is these creatures are doing in my kingdom, si?” Julianus asked sitting next to her,

 

“They search for ways to open the plane of the blood drinking gods. It is also a long story but that place is evil and no good for us corporeal daemons.” She said as the blood rushed in her ears.

 

“I see. So you are trying to stop a great evil. I understand that. I am again trying to control myself.” He said calmly but his cheeks were burning.

 

“Me too.” She said weakly.

 

“I am thinking and hoping that your son will take you to Egypt on the morrow. I refuse to be a bastardo. I am very grateful to you femmina for your actions. It is been a great privilege to meet you.” He said standing and he bowed.

 

“What was your Antonia like?” She asked suddenly.

 

Julianus stiffened and he looked at her in surprise. His eyes held grief and he looked up and then back at her.

 

“She was my soul. She gave me my eldest son and I love him very much.” He replied in quiet.

 

“I am sorry. I am telepathic and I have heard your thoughts. She permeates your mind. I am most sorry for your loss.” Asuna said gently.

 

“Thank you femmina.” He bowed.

 

Julianus left her presence and she could see differences in Amedeo and his father. Her basilisk husband had a love of life and of onna in his early life but he had changed dramatically. This man it seemed was deep feeling and the loss of his wife had hurt him terribly. Their draw was not explainable but there was one. She shut out the ridiculous situation because she was already too deep between a white and a black basilisk as it was. She had no wish to hurt Amedeo and she knew her actions would. She sighed and she let sleep take her.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She had sent Minkah to try and find her basilisk companions because she had been separated from them. Asuna was now in Luxor in a small palace near the temples and she stayed away from Anupu who had removed himself to Avaris. She decided to let it go as a failed relationship and move on. She had no wish to further hurt the proud man and he was too good to further cause pain. Sanra had come up with a wicked weapon and it had seriously slowed down her youkai healing abilities. She was now healing at the rate a ningen would and it was annoying. She was lying out in the sand and the sun felt good on her damaged skin and Minkah came by her and chuckled.

 

“Get too tan and I might think you are Egyptian again.” He said smiling.

 

“Funny. Did you find them?” Asuna asked.

 

“No mam but I think they must be looking for you. I am finding signs of them. They have not been captured.” He shrugged and he sat down.

 

“You are so handsome.” She smiled at her son.

 

“I know.” Minkah grinned.

 

She rolled her eyes and he laughed.

 

“I am so happy you are here. When you are well perhaps you should go forward.” He said softly.

 

“No. I am bound and determined to find Sounga. There is much in these ancient times and I will discover what I need to. I have allies amongst most eras now.” She said staring at the temples.

 

“Anupu is in Avaris.” He said leading.

 

“Anupu is in Avaris to avoid me. Please stop hinting my child.” She admonished.

 

“Papa wanted you to mend fences with him. He made me swear you would.” Minkah said pleading.

 

“No. He does not wish it and I will not push it. Anupu has been put through enough by my family. I just wish he had not suffered.” Asuna said softly.

 

“I was foretold Haha. I am sorry but I was supposed to be here.” He said stubbornly.

 

“I am certain that is true but it is no good when good people get hurt.” She said.

 

“Well you and he are both stubborn jackasses.” He snapped as he stood up.

 

She could not believe his audacity but he stomped off. She decided to go and at least talk to Anupu and tell him how very sorry she was. She knew he was right and she stood up. She had on an Egyptian style dress and she ported to Avaris and she found him with only a short kilt on and he was busy reading many papyruses. He stiffened visibly and she bowed low.

 

“I am sorry to bother you. I only came to say very few things.” She said very softly.

 

“What?” Anupu asked in a stiff tone.

 

“You are right. I am wretched and nothing I can say will change it. I hurt you and I can never change that.” Asuna said in a barely audible voice.

 

Anupu said nothing and he barely looked at her. She was trying to not be emotional and it was hard.

 

“I allowed a very bad time to overcome me and I met him. It should have been you and I was a coward. I am a coward with my own emotions very often. I am such a screwed up mix of youkai and sometimes one influences my actions more then others. It is no good excuse but it is the best I can offer. I am influenced by memories of other lives and emotions that belonged to those onna. I am so sorry and I understand why you feel the way you feel. I shall stay away as best I can.” She said bowing.

 

He stared past her and he actually had tears fall down his face. She knew him not to be an emotional man and he was shutting away his feelings. He waved her away and she bowed low before him. She did not know why it had to feel and hurt so damn bad because she had brought it upon herself but it did. Asuna neared him and she took his hand. He growled in anger and suppressed rage and she kissed his signet ring that at one time he had given her. Asuna had not been aware he had taken it back and she softly kissed it over and over and he made an anguished snarl. She turned over his hand and she kissed his wrist and his face held such rage.

 

“Leave! I said go! You are no one to me anymore! You are nothing to me! Go! Now! Go!” Anupu snarled with red eyes and his yoki flaring badly.

 

She understood his feelings and her eyes bled green which he did not understand but she pressed a hand to his bare chest and he grabbed her wrist and he restrained his anger enough not to snap her bone.

 

“You will not hurt me again! I will not allow you into my heart ever again. I am done. It has done nothing but make me distrust all women and most of all you Akana. I will live my life and be entombed and put into some semblance of sleep and rest! I want away from you!” He said with hate.

 

Her chest was heavy but it suddenly became paramount to her and she crushed him under her yoki. Anupu had to sit and he stared at her in astonishment. She neared her lips to his and he was angry. She kissed him and he did not want to care. He was so fucking bitter but he automatically responded. Asuna released her hold and she was crushed painfully in his arms. Anupu slid his eyes shut and he was determined to kiss her well and then tell her to go fuck herself. His plans went awry as they always did. She ended up on his desk and immediately she was pulling on his yoki. The pharaoh knew it was not intended but she was gasping and whining about the heat and her body was flush. He ripped the linen open and her breasts were beautiful as he stared at them. Her knees were bent and his inpu beast was practically panting like a slobbering idiot. He scented her and the love of his life was dripping wet and his brain proceeded to go, duh! Anupu was suppressing his growls and yelps as he began to scent her.

 

“I want you to honor my request and leave. You are still broken.” He managed to snarl out in a very beastly tone.

 

“Coward!” Asuna challenged him.

 

“Yes! I am a coward. Go!” Anupu barked.

 

“Take me coward! Take me and make me submit Pharaoh Hor-aha!” She barked back.

 

He snarled and he grabbed her roughly. He flipped her and he slammed into her. The slick heat undid him and his beast snapped into place. She bared her neck like a good and proper inpu bitch and he of course wrapped his jaws around her bared throat. Asuna made all the proper whimpers and begged him. His primitive mind was shot to hell and back as he took her so roughly. She screamed for him and that just spurred his inpu into happy land and he snarled at her. He wanted her in her true form and his bitch obeyed. Anupu proceeded to mate her every which way and he passed out. Asuna too had passed out and neither was going anywhere as the poor inu pharaoh had worked himself up enough to become knotted right up.

Anupu woke up and he was in his true form and he tried to pull back. He was horrified and he barked sharply. She woke up too and she yawned. He growled and yipped in exasperation. Asuna did what amounted to snickering in inu and he snarled at her. After quite some time he was able to release himself and he changed form. She too changed form and she was sore. She had never had a male inu knot for quite so long and she sat back and watched him.

 

“That amused you?” Anupu demanded.

 

“Hai.” She shrugged.

 

“It is humiliating! I am not an animal.” He snapped.

 

“Hai you are in part. You are an inu youkai. Get over it.” Asuna said standing.

 

“Did you have a good time? Did you feed well?” He asked coldly.

 

“Anupu if you insist in turning it into a foul thing then fine. I will leave it at that. I will have a clear conscience that I tried to say I am sorry and that I beg your forgiveness. Excuse me.” She said grabbing her linen.

 

He stared at his palace and she always managed to thwart him and make him crazy. He almost left her leave, almost.

 

“Stop!” He growled.

 

“What?” She asked softly.

 

“You need a bath.” Anupu sighed.

 

She turned and he stared at her body. She still was healing and he shoved down his emotions. Maybe he could just rut and it not be emotional. Maybe he could just do what he used his wives for and use her for gratification like she seemed to do with others. Her jaw dropped at his thought process and he really did not care. He beckoned her to follow him and he made his mind blank. His feelings were all over the board and he did not feel like sharing anymore. Asuna was determined to take a bath and get the hell out of there. They ended up having a screaming match that turned into another act of passion that turned into more screaming and more passion. Before the night was over Anupu could not move and neither could Asuna. They had plum worn each other out and their voices were gone from their screaming fits that seemed to be a catharsis to them both. She had called him an emotionally stunted douche bag. The poor Egyptian pharaoh could come up with nothing to say. He really had no clue what she had called him. He was actually snoring which was seriously undignified from someone of his rank and she sat up.

 

“Oh Kami. Oh Kami. Anupu move!” She said trying to shove him off of her.

 

“Huh?” He grumbled in his sleep.

 

Asuna surged her strength and shoved him off his own bed and he landed on his naked ass. He stared at her as if she had lost her damn mind and he saw her leaning over the other side of the opulent gold bed and she was heaving up her stomach. He frowned and he the scent was horrid to his sensitive inpu nose.

 

“Gross!” He growled.

 

“Shut up! Oh Kami.” She hurled again.

 

“What is wrong with you?” Anupu asked in irritation.

 

He got up and wrapped a kilt around his hips and he called on a maid servant. Soon his royal bed chambers were clean and she outside. He was leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face and he figured she had eaten something to upset her stomach. Unfortunately for him as much as he may love her; her mouth made him furious and minor discomfort made him thrilled. Anum was called on and Anupu minded his business. His physician came in and he was red faced.

 

“My pharaoh may I speak?” He asked.

 

“Yes, yes. What is it? What did she eat?” He asked smirking.

 

“She is resting and I gave her a draught to ease her sickness majesty but it is a common sickness that many women have when they become pupped.” Anum said delicately.

 

“What did you say?” Anupu said dropping his jaw.

 

“My pharaoh you have given this women your pup. She told me it was about fucking time.” He said grimacing.

 

Anum slipped away and the fire inpu stood up and he about fell over. He did not think and she was almost always pupped. She was uppyr. She hardly ever stayed unpupped.

 

“Did my physician tell me the truth?” He stuttered.

 

“Hai.” She said staring at him.

 

“You are pupped. You are pupped with my pup?” Anupu asked in disbelief.

 

“Hai.” She nodded as if he was stupid.

 

“You do realize that I have made it that if you were to give me a pup then it would be my heir; regardless of sex.” He stated.

 

“I was not aware but okay.” She shrugged.

 

“I also require you to marry me.” He said in disbelief.

 

“Hai okay.” Asuna shrugged again.

 

“Just like this? This is how is happens? Just like this?” He said not believing.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“You will marry me tomorrow. You will be made Queen of Egypt. You will be my chief wife. You will take my mark tonight.” He said flatly.

 

“Am I supposed to say no?” She said almost amused.

 

“I do not know.” He said trembling.

 

“You do realize I never did this for Narmer.” She whispered.

 

He was thunderstruck and he almost stumbled. Anupu leaned forward and kissed her mouth suddenly. She kissed him back and it grew in intensity and she groaned. He pulled back and stared at her face.

 

“What does douche bag mean?” Anupu asked in after thought.

Things in the south were calm as she had to heal and Julianus was plagued by memories of what had occurred when she had shown up. He was plagued by what little Egyptian he knew. He also had word from that land of what had happened. It seemed that Pharaoh Hor-aha had been in love with this woman a long while and he had taken her as his wife. He had set her above a foreign princess and made her Queen of Egypt. It was also said she was with child. Julianus knew there was a huge draw to the amazing creature but he lived with principles and what had occurred was not him. When he had kidnapped Antonia; that too had not been him but he had followed his instincts and he had five years of bliss and love. His mind was filled with memories of his dead wife and he was restless in his bed. She had been a beautiful red and he normally found them difficult to deal with. When he had beheld Antonia, he had just not thought. When she had told him that he was to be a father; he had been overjoyed. He had felt true happiness and he was certain that his common people felt that happy when they had families. He did not see his nobles all that thrilled when they had children but he had been happy. He loved Amedeo very much. He loved Fabius as well but his eldest had been given to him by his heart and soul and he was all he had left of her. The black basilisk tried to sleep and he could not. He finally stood up and he went to his window.

 

“Antonia. I wish you had not left me.” He whispered to no one.

 

“Was she very lovely?” He heard in his bedroom.

 

Julianus whirled and he saw an odd being with black hair with streaks of white and grey. She was on the thin side and she had a smirk on her pale face. Her eyes were a dark grey and her veins could be seen on her pale skin.

 

“Why are you in my rooms?” He demanded.

 

“Anything that is of interest of hers is of interest of mine. Of course I like to destroy it.” She smiled.

 

“Are you one of those disgusting beasts I saw?” Julianus demanded.

 

“I am certain. I have been quite busy around here. It seems that there is a possibility of a fracture around here and perhaps I may be able to open it but no matter. You are a fucking reptile and your brain is about as big as a pea.” Sanra said sweetly.

 

“Femmina your words are filthy.” He said coldly.

 

“You think filthy now big boy. I am as nasty as they come.” She said stalking him closer.

 

Julianus dove for his sword and he lifted it up and his eyes gleamed oddly. Sanra cocked her head and she felt weird.

 

“In shadowy host that rides the gale.” He commanded his sword.

 

His natural venom was released in a swift wind like pattern and she choked and it entered her lungs. It burned terribly and her eyes turned white. She was forced to phase out and she was in shock at the strength of his toxin. Julianus decided another visit to Egypt was warranted despite how he felt about the cane-empusae femmina. He had worked too hard for peace and he refused to loose it now for some unknown beast that would upset his power.
