Ancient Dramas

 

Anupu rubbed his temples. He rubbed them and his headache was getting worse. They argued constantly and he became aware that his patience was tried terribly by loving such a powerful woman; the part that really stank was that he had no respect for weak, mewling females. He craved his powerful and utterly infuriating wife, mate, and lover. She also had that damn mouth but he begun to figure ways of shutting it. Some days they did not leave his bedroom. She also shared his bed which was not normal but when was she conventional? Anupu was now trying to coax her into eating and she was still sick to her stomach. She did not want solid food and she had thrown it in his face. Asuna was still healing and she growled like a wild inpu and he was standing there growling like a pharaoh with raw meat covering his face.

 

“You will eat!” He snarled.

 

“I do not want it! Damn it Anupu go lord over a crocodile!” Asuna hissed.

 

He threw up his hands and she smiled sweetly. He picked up a linen towel and wiped his face. His new chief wife stood up and came over to him and he growled at her. She growled back and undid his kilt. Anupu then sucked in his breath and groaned as she wrapped her hand around him.

 

“Still wish to be cross?” She asked sweetly.

 

“You are impertinent.” Anupu said with a shaky tone.

 

“Hai? Really? This is impertinence.” She said sliding down his bronzed body.

 

She swallowed him whole and he nearly buckled. Anupu looked down and she stared up at him.

 

“Evil woman.” He groaned out.

 

She ravished him and made him totally relaxed as she brought him to heaven. Anupu wondered how in the Gods names he was ever going to survive her. The young pharaoh had lost his heart and head to her as her former self but it was as this woman that he had fallen like a comet.

Julianus had sent a request to Anupu formally and the pharaoh read the elegant hand. Asuna plucked it from his grasp and he snorted as she read it for herself.

 

“It was addressed to me my dear.” Anupu growled.

 

“Hai well it mentions me.” Asuna said with a nauseating grin.

 

“Why do I bother? I mean I am only the ruler of the Egyptian Empire but sure, certainly, read my correspondence!” He snapped.

 

“As you wish.” She said pacing.

 

He sighed and leaned back in his gilded chair.

 

“What is it exactly?” He asked.

 

“I have to go to Italy.” She replied handing him the parchment.

 

“Pardon me? You are pupped.” He said softly.

 

“Hai and I even can write too.” She said sarcastically.

 

“Woman, do not anger me today, please?” Anupu asked.

 

“It is what I live for.” Asuna grinned.

 

“Just do not fight the Shouten, okay? The Gods know there is no controlling you and I cannot even begin to try. You would either just do it anyway or grab my balls and twist really hard.” He said frankly.

 

“Probably.” She agreed.

 

“Why do I love you again?” He asked standing.

 

“No idea.” His beautiful new wife said as he neared her.

 

He looked down at her and his eyes searched hers. Anupu lowered his mouth and kissed her in soft nips. She grinned against his mouth and he sighed in passion. Her hand brushed against his hip and he realized she intended to be open and risqué in his morning room. She let her fingers play along his expensive linen kilt and then they slipped past the folds. Anupu's eyes widened as her touch was gentle and only seeking to touch his savage stiffness. She was staring at his beautiful face as she husked heavily. She expertly let the linen undone and it slid down his powerful legs to the floor.

 

“Asuna!” He growled very softly.

 

She was only breathing heavily as she slowly began to smear his pre-release. Anupu was being given her empusae treatment and he was getting out of control. His mind was going feral overly fast and she was doing things that he had never once felt and he shook his head and threw it back. She sampled his throat and licked at his bronzed skin and he whined out.

 

“So strong. So beautiful. Such perfection. Such goodness. Anupu. Pharaoh Hor-aha.” Asuna whispered gently.

 

“By Ra I need to climax. Asuna! What have you done?” He groaned out wildly.

 

“Worship my beautiful Kami. Let go Anupu. Let go of your control.” She said in a haunting tone.

 

His cry was soul shattering as she had to sink to the floor with him. His chin was pressed to his chest and he did let go and it consumed him and washed through him. Asuna watched rapt as he gasped and cried out. Her eyes slowly bled green as she watched his orgasm erupt from his member. Anupu could not breathe through the pleasure burning in his belly and he dimly realized she was prolonging it too. He also realized he was going to pass out. She eyed him with such hunger on her face and for the first time since he knew her in this guise; all jealousy left him. She was controlling herself but she truly could kill. She could kill in the midst of mind blowing passion and Asuna lowered her mouth to lick at his twitching cock. He snarled out as it felt so good.

 

“I understand now. I understand it all. Ra, I get it now.” He moaned out.

 

She lifted her mouth and he looked decadent.

 

“Go to Italy. I am here to back you up.” He whispered out in deep gasps.

 

“Thank you.” She said kissing his lips softly.

 

He had not totally shared his thoughts but his mind was muddled and she ported him to his royal bed. He did pass out and he had the most intense moment with a woman of his life. Before blacking out she had whispered the word he had always and desperately wanted to hear from her lips; wedja.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna returned to Roma and she steeled herself against the alluring beast that was Julianus. She told herself not to touch him and to keep some distance. She tried to keep the image of herself laying him out and giving him oral pleasure out of her head. She wore her traditional hanfu and she kept herself aloof. Julianus eyed her and she was keeping herself away from him some distance. He could respect her intelligence and what occurred between them was unbecoming to them both.

 

"Are you better femmina?" Julianus inquired.

 

"Very slowly recovering majesty but I will be better; I assure you that she will pay for showing up here." Asuna said calmly.

 

“I thought to come to you but thought it might be better if you returned here. I hope that Pharaoh Hor-aha is okay with this arrangement?” Julianus asked pouring some cold water.

 

He turned and carefully walked to her and she accepted it. His hand brushed hers and their eyes met. Asuna hissed softly and he jerked back.

 

“She said something of a fracture. Do you know what she means femmina?” He asked heavily.

 

Asuna was trying to think. She was trying to focus and her nostrils flared. She stared at him and he saw her eyes go from red to green and he saw the struggle on her face. Her hand trembled badly and Julianus grabbed her wrist to steady it.

 

“I was told that your family supposedly hails from Jupiter?” She asked thickly.

 

“No femmina. Of course not. We are Italian basilisk. I claim no divinity I assure you.” He smiled.

 

She dropped the gold chalice and she jerked him forward to her. She pressed her forehead to his and she breathed harder and harder.

 

“I smell you. You smell so good.” Asuna growled softly.

 

“I can taste your desire around you.” He husked heavily.

 

“What is wrong with us?” She asked weakly.

 

“I am considered strong amongst my kind. I assume you are powerful, no? Maybe we are strong and that is the draw? You notice the moths to the flame, si?” He said making the analogy.

 

“Hai.” She whimpered a little.

 

They only stood there and breathed hard as the current of lust and hormones was thick. She reached up and touched his hair.

 

“Sorry.” She said groaning.

 

She sought his mouth and Julianus did not stop her. Their mouths passionately connected and they were growling softly. Asuna sought his tongue and he made such a groan that it caused molten desire and heat to pool in her belly. She wrapped her arms around him tightly as she seemingly devoured his beautiful lips. Julianus was no better off and she was sucking on his tongue. He was getting desperate in his passion as her hands tangled in his hair. Slowly their mouths separated and he was gasping hard as he tried to still his blood. Nothing he could do was calming his heated blood.

 

“I am not this. I do not do this.” He said as he felt like he was loosing his mind.

 

“I will not lie; I become crippled in this mindless lust sometimes.” Asuna admitted.

 

“I have never encountered an empusae before. Must stop.” Julianus said desperately.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

She did not stop. She ended up lifting her forearm and slicing into it with the claw of her thumb. Julianus could only stare at the dark red viscous liquid as it slowly began to drip down her white skin. He made a noise and he wrapped his lips around the wound and began to suck on the blood. She let her eyes shut and she groaned out crazily as he took in her life force. He was lost in the drunken like effects of the liquid and she was whining and moaning softly. Their lips again met and his lips were stained with her blood and Julianus made an odd noise. She moved her hands and she ripped his black chiton and white toga. His long black hair had been partially done up but she undid it as her fingers and claws lightly scratched his scalp. The basilisk ruler pressed his forehead to hers and breathed out hard. Julianus could not fight it and the point he was at; he did not want to. They both were taking in deep draughts of breath and he began to rip at her silks. Never in his life had he felt so out of control and his claws tore at the beautiful silk. He exposed her skin and his lips began to press against any and all available flesh. Her throat and shoulder became seared from his hungry mouth. Julianus was slow and deliberate but truly out of his mind in the black hole of massive lust. Asuna became aware that her hanfu was around her hips and he had exposed her breasts. Julianus pulled her forward by her upper back and sampled her right breast. His tongue curled and flicked the sensitive nipple and need ripped through him like sudden pain. One of his hands drifted down her side and he ripped the hanfu down till it fell at her feet. He suckled her deeply and Asuna's hands were kneading his back and shoulders. The black basilisk let his hands drift and he squeezed her bottom cheeks in his hands and he totally lost it. He picked her up and she ended up on his bed at the edge. He fell against her as he kissed her passionately and he sheathed himself with her in one motion. Her head came off the bed and Julianus was certain he was being burned alive. He cried out loudly in Latin and she threw her head side to side. He trapped her head between his upper arms and he was gasping in hard as he stared at her face. He could see she was altered too.

 

“Femmina. Surrender with me.” He managed to say.

 

“Huh?” Asuna asked barely aware of speech or able to form words.

 

“I need…I am loosing thought.” Julianus choked out.

 

He moved and she shrieked in bliss. It became a passionate blur that he had no control over. He only knew that the heat was searing and addicting and the pleasure was so potent that he could become addicted really fast. Julianus was also aware that he was kissing her throat, chin, forehead, and all over his lips could touch. Her claws were trying not to dig into his skin but he felt her body contracting and going rigid several times. He could not say how many orgasms she had but her last one made him gasp and groan loudly as his body became taut in its own need. She was licking and sucking one moment at his juncture then she had sank her fangs in. Asuna gulped down his thick blood and he made the loudest cry of a viper she had ever heard. It was a very animal sound and he began to yell “si” over and over in a mantra. She was beyond feral and she screamed for him as he poured his seed deep. He husked and rasped as reality stayed bent and their eyes met briefly before his eyes slid shut. Asuna nor Julianus said anything else as they passed out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Julianus woke up next to her and his body was pressed into her magnificent heat. He could not remember a time that he had slept so well. One leg was wrapped around hers and his arm was wrapped around her middle. It fully hit him that he had made amor with a virtual stranger and guilt hit him. What also ate at him was how utterly mind blowing it was. Any other basilisk would give their eye teeth to have an empusae in their bed and he was laying there feeling like an immoral creep. Asuna stirred beside him and he wanted to slink away and apologize. What he did not expect was to feel her lips begin to press against his hand and wrist. Soon it became her rolling to her side and he saw her face as she began to leave soft lingering kisses up his arm. His breathing seemed to stop and her full lips brushed across his chest. He felt her teeth nibble his male nub and Julianus laid back and groaned as the beautiful cane began to nibble harder. His body came alive under her sweet torture and Asuna was saying nothing and only reacting. She began to brush fingers softly along his shaft and sac as she continued to suck and nibble his male nipple. His eyes would widen and then close as she teased his body. His eyes opened momentarily when he saw her suck on a finger of hers. Julianus watched with suspended breath as she gently grasped a testicle and rolled it.

 

“Femmina! Ungh!” He cried out softly.

 

Asuna had a gentle but constant pressure on his sac and she really noticed some scaling around his hips and around his groin. She was entranced to say the least and in some spell. Julianus made soft cries as her moistened finger began to tease his quivering entrance. The rex was a mass of nerves and she was making him weak. He arched his entire body as she slid one finger in.

 

“Si. So good. Si! Touch me please! Si. Make me come femmina. Please, please!” The beautiful creature moaned out in a raspy, needy tone.

 

His eyes were wide open and she was delivering him to the Gods he decided. His mind could not focus on his morality or his reality. She was captivated by his cries of need and the way his body shook; he trembled from the prodding of “male g-spot” and Julianus said such obscene things to his own ears. He begged like a whore and moved to facilitate the wonderful pleasure. It was too good and too much and his voice changed when she wrapped her free hand around his length. She whispered words of praise; she told him he was beautiful. She told him he was perfection. She whispered how captivating he was to watch as she took him. Asuna was lost in her own speech and she told and begged him to let himself go. She feverishly told him that she wanted to drink him. She stated she wanted to feel his release and take him in.

 

“So beautiful.” She whispered against his straining male flesh.

 

“So close. Please. Please.” He begged.

 

Asuna stroked him faster and Julianus cried out in such a way that he feared his staff would think him in danger. He went completely rigid as the orgasm took him in wave after wave. She was drinking him and he was crying out as it made him weak. She purred around his cock and he groaned as Asuna finished him. He breathed out hard and she lifted her mouth from his male parts. Her eyes met his and he groaned. They were immediately kissing and he did not think he could handle much more but she slid him deep into her. His head came off his bed roll and he could only stare at her face.

 

“What is this?” Asuna asked in a deep and pleading tone.

 

“I do not know femmina. Your heat! Your heat is so much. I am burning.” He said loosing his mind.

 

The burn tortured him and the beautiful femmina decimated him. He sat up a little and held her to him as they again became consumed in the overbearing lust. Julianus crushed her hard in his grasp as her climax made him see stars. She also sank her fangs into his neck and his violent reaction made her scream. His body was so tense in his sudden onset climax that he felt muscles pull. He managed to lay her back and he was still awake but barely. He struggled to get to some water and he heard faint pounding on his outer door. He found a chiton and he opened his door a fraction.

 

“My rex? Are you okay?” His uncle asked.

 

“Si. I am okay. No worries.” Julianus said breathless.

 

“We heard screams; I assume perhaps his majesty found a femmina pleasing? I hope nephew?” His uncle asked.

 

“Please Uncle Sortorius but you know I do not like to speak as such, si? I am okay. How is my baby cousin Adrastus?” He asked gently.

 

“He is well nephew. I am pleased to finally be a Papa. It has been too long. I will go but I am pleased you are well, si?” His uncle asked hopeful.

 

“I am well.” He nodded.

 

Julianus shut his door and he leaned against it. He trembled as he fought the need to slumber deep and he went to his table that held wine. He poured himself some with a shaking hand.

 

“I am sorry. I did not mean to raise such a ruckus.” Asuna said from his bedroom doorway.

 

“No, it is okay. I asked you to come here, si? I am only in shock at myself.” He said honestly.

 

“Why?” She asked not nearing him.

 

“To be so wanton. It is not me. I always put the physical last. Does that make sense?” Julianus asked sheepishly.

 

“Hai. I end somehow putting it first. I hate what I am sometimes. I wish I could control myself better around you.” She admitted totally honestly.

 

“I feel the same femmina. I have seen your power and I respect your abilities, I really do. I get too close and I only wish to taste you.” He said as his pale reddish eyes met hers.

 

“I feel your heart. I hear it and I want it for myself.” Asuna whispered suddenly.

 

Julianus gripped the table and he stared at her. He was pretty certain he knew what she meant but he did tremble a little.

 

“Do you not have other amor?” He asked in a quiet voice.

 

“Hai but your pain is making me hurt too. I hear it and I feel it. Why do I feel it?” She asked nearing him.

 

“Femmina! Do not come closer!” Julianus hissed.

 

She ignored his protests and she pulled him flush. He could not breathe and he shook visibly.

 

“I do not know. I have no idea why you feel my pain but I feel your emotions a little too. You truly believe what you say.” He admitted.

 

“What I say?” She asked brushing her nose against his cheek.

 

“You think me beautiful. You find me stunning.” The black basilisk said shutting his eyes and only feeling her skin.

 

“Hai. I believe those things. So I wonder what this is and why do I want to make you not hurt?” She asked palming his cheeks.

 

“Please do not put me under your spell. Please do not make me love you.” He begged.

 

“How would I do that?” Asuna demanded.

 

“I do not know. The last femmina I loved left me; she could not help it but I wanted to die. Do you understand? I loved her so much. I loved her against my typical nature and it was perfect but it did not last. I do not want to hurt like that again.” He said softly but in a tortured voice.

 

“How can a royal man be so good? How can you be so normal?” She asked in his ear.

 

“I came to power and brought my people under one leader. I was only a general femmina. This is how I know that I am not from the Gods.” He tried to laugh.

 

She had not realized that Amedeo had not come from a long and illustrious background and it made sense to her now. Amedeo was only first generation royalty. His father had been a lesser noble of some sort and brought peace to his people. She came aware she was kissing him again and Julianus was not doing well. He was trying to hold himself back but she pried his lips open with her tongue and he groaned out as she tasted his tongue. This whatever it was became quickly the only thing she could concentrate on.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Julianus groaned. Asuna was rubbing his back now with olive and sweet oils and he was sore from their numerous encounters. She would give him her blood and he offered his freely now. They figured out if they gave into the blood lust that it was easier to control the other. The other was making him loose his mind. He was addicted and he found himself hissing if another basilisk even looked at her, it was not like him at all. She had his long black hair tied off in some elaborate knot that she told him was common in her homeland. He groaned out louder as she worked his middle back.

 

“Are you scales sensitive?” She asked in a seductive tone.

 

“Si.” He said softly as she worked his muscles.

 

She teased the smattering of black iridescent scales on his back near his spine; Julianus gasped a little and it felt good and different he realized. He did not give his scales much thought simply because basilisk femmina would not obsess on them. Now he realized fully that they were indeed sensitive and how it made his skin jump. She laughed and she lightly nipped his butt cheek. He actually blushed and laid his head back down. He was a reserved individual but she managed not to make him talk too much but she knew much. That boggled his mind too.

 

“I feel much better, thank you femmina.” He said in a languid voice.

 

“You do not particularly care for the palace life do you?” Asuna asked.

 

“No.” he nodded.

 

“You prefer to be amongst the wilds. Where are you from?” She asked turning him over.

 

“Sicily. I am from Sicily.” Julianus admitted.

 

She dropped kisses along his chest and to his belly. He moaned out softly and she did not make it more. Asuna only used her lips to send shivers through his body.

 

“So you are a Sicilian basilisk. You were a noble?” She asked running her claws along his thighs.

 

“Si. My family is noble but we had no rex you see. There were many families and many clan rulers. I grew tired of the fighting amongst my kind. They would kidnap and steal femmina to cement alliances so I forced unification. I had fourteen legions under my command and I demanded we unite. The reds and other reptiles easily tore us up you see.” He explained.

 

“So you only intended to unite the Latium blacks but they made you rex?” Asuna asked surprised.

 

“Si. I am embarrassed by it truly but I am a good administrator. Perhaps I help my people as I do this crazy thing?” He laughed softly.

 

“Hai I think so.” She smiled down at him.

 

She wore a stolla and she appeared as if it was normal. She leaned against him and he stared up at her face.

 

“You make me feel again.” He whispered as he palmed her cheek.

 

“You make me feel.” She said kissing his skin.

 

He breathed deep and she kissed him softly. She had bitten into her tongue and he received her offering. He pulled her against him tightly and he suppressed his passion normally but not with her. They did not discuss the whole reason she had come and now he was again loosing it.

 

“Femmina, I need you. I need you now.” He growled.

 

She obliged him and she stood up and let the stolla fall. She was standing and he jerked her forward and began to ruthlessly dive his tongue and taste her center. His hands squeezed her backside and Julianus allowed himself to become lost in her. Their bodies soon became slick with their perspiration and she was underneath him on the chaise. She was sleeping and he was damn near a coma sleep. His eyes narrowed when he saw a shadowy movement in the darkness. He could have sworn he saw white hair and Asuna popped her head up.

 

“Gabrielus!” She whispered softly.

 

“Who?” He asked in an irritated voice.

 

“A friend of mine. I have been searching for him.” She said getting up.

 

“Him?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai.” She said going to his main room.

 

Asuna was looking around and she knew he was near but he was suppressing his aura. She grew impatient and she growled loudly. Valerian poked his head around a column and he grinned at her.

 

“Where have you been?” She hissed softly.

 

“Avoiding those nasty things femmina! They really do not like us, si? We have found ways of trapping them.” He grinned.

 

Gabrielus stepped out and he looked nervous to be in the palace of Julianus.

 

“Come femmina.” He commanded.

 

“Pardon me?” She asked in a temper.

 

“Si. Come please. It is no good for us to be here. We have procured a villa in the Alps.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“Who are you?” Julianus asked coming into the main room.

 

Asuna cursed under her breath and both Gabrielus and Valerian laid eyes on a young Julianus Servius. Valerian's mouth dropped open and Gabrielus was much calmer. He remembered the old rex briefly but to see him so young was shocking. It was odd to Julianus to see a white at all and Valerian grinned.

 

“Majesty! Hello sir. We are loyal companions of this femmina. I am Valerian and this is Gabrielus.” He said bowing low and kicking the white in the foot.

 

Gabrielus bowed but he did not want to. Julianus did not look entirely pleased but he bowed as well.

 

“What are you staring at sir?” The white asked with an edge to his voice.

 

“I am surprised to see a white, si? I mean no offense. I have never seen one in reality.” Julianus said miffed.

 

“Okay you two. You can go now.” Asuna growled.

 

“Go, why?” Valerian asked grinning the whole time.

 

“I swear to the Kamis Valerian!” She growled out louder.

 

He blinked and smirked at her. Julianus could tell this young man was wiley and dangerous. He affected an air of a buffoon but he was anything but. The white was serious but he was intelligent and the green eyes were watching him carefully.

 

“Okay enough!” The cane femmina said in anger.

 

“Well femmina we were in battle with you si and then we were separated. Now I taste cane all over you.” Valerian said grinning more.

 

“Because I am half.” She snapped.

 

“She thinks us stupid, si?” The young general said laughing.

 

“Valerian shut up!” Gabrielus snarled.

 

“Perhaps you need sustenance and you can tell us of your whereabouts.” Julianus said calmly.

 

“Si.” The white nodded.

 

She was furious and both Valerian and Gabrielus were posturing. Julianus went to order some venison and Gabrielus grabbed her. He looked angry and she stared at him.

 

“Are you insane femmina? He is Julianus Servius! We do not belong here si?” He snapped loudly.

 

“When do you ever deign to tell me what to do Gabrielus?” She demanded.

 

“When my regina has lost her fucking mind!” He growled.

 

“This time he is right femmina.” Valerian offered.

 

“Why are you opposed to me knowing Julianus?” She asked them both.

 

“Well because.” The younger man said crossing his arms.

 

“You are jealous!” Asuna accused.

 

“Well si!” Her white growled out.

 

“You do not own me.” She growled back.

 

The look on Gabrielus's face was dark and he suddenly shoved her against a column. She stared into the face of a very powerful man.

 

“Did Amedeo ever truly have sway with you?” She asked breathless.

 

“He had as much as I deemed. I am not weak and I will not act as such, si? I may be a white but I assure you that I am as good or better then any black.” He said coldly.

 

“Do you think I…” She tried to say.

 

“I think you are empusae and I think he is a beautiful man no? I would make amor to him if he was as such but I also know that I guard my regina with my life, You in a way belong to us and not him.” He said in a furious tone.

 

She looked over at Valerian and he shrugged. He was of the same opinion but he was letting Gabrielus speak it. She grew furious and she tried to shove the white away.

 

“Sorry femmina.” Her white basilisk lover said and he stunned her with his venom.

 

She went down and Valerian picked her up. Gabrielus crossed his arms and Julianus came back in upon the strange scene.

 

“What did you do?” He demanded.

 

“She is a regina to us. I am sorry but she cannot stay here.” Gabrielus said with crossed arms.

 

“I think you take too much upon yourself white. Put the femmina down young man.” Julianus said in anger.

 

“Sorry beautiful man but he is right. I am honored to meet my rex though.” The young black said smirking.

 

Gabrielus shifted out with them both and Julianus was astonished. Whoever these men were they felt the right to just take her. He sighed and realized the last several days that nothing had been accomplished except he had come to truly enjoy her. He looked around and he sighed; it was probably a good thing she was gone. He decided to get his sons and spend some time with them and shut out thoughts of the beautiful cane-empusae who had brought him out of his pain for a very short time.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke up in a small but very nice villa. She looked around and she saw Gabrielus staring at her with anger. She sat up fully and she went to slap him but he pinned her immediately under him.

 

“Why are you acting this way?” Asuna demanded.

 

“He dies femmina! He has to die and Amedeo takes the throne. You cannot change that si? I know you well enough that you will care too much and it will cause too much issue.” He growled.

 

She blinked and her mouth opened in ecstasy. Gabrielus was not dressed and neither was she.

 

“Do you not find enough passion femmina? Perhaps we need return to the modern era and you can partake of the proper Servius.” He said licking up her throat.

 

“You bastard!” She groaned out.

 

“Si but I am being smart and you are being ruled by the blood. You make me crazed to you know but I am less inclined to fall I think because of my telepathy.” He said snapping his hips.

 

It was quick and brutally harsh in the intensity but he brought her over several times. She was seeing just how shrewd Gabrielus could be. She could see he must have been an excellent general and she was exhausted. She felt some wisdom in his words and she rolled over to see his face.

 

“Si femmina?” He asked with his eyes still closed.

 

“Perhaps I should see Amedeo. Could you stay here and deal with hunting down Sanra whilst I go?” She sighed.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

“There is more to you and you are hiding much.” Asuna growled softly.

 

“Nothing to hide from you femmina but I have fallen for you and I will not loose another love. Deal with it.” He shrugged.

 

Asuna growled more and she made herself get up. He stared at her body and he lay on his back. She dressed and ported out and Valerian came in to lean against the doorway.

 

“You really are a bold asshole.” He said clucking his tongue.

 

“Shut up.” Gabrielus growled.

 

“Oh?” Valerian asked growling back.

 

The white was in no mood to deal with his smart ass mouth and proceeded to tackle him to the ground. He dominated the younger man and Valerian screamed out in rapture. Gabrielus had plans and he would not loose what he had. Never again would he loose his heart.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She decided to check on Inuyasha and she knew her poor uncle had suffered for having faced Sanra and she shadowed his tachi for a little while. She only wanted to reassure herself. She had seen Hideaki and he was now laid out in his room and passed out from amazing passion. She really adored her sire's taste in men for her sometimes. Hideaki was perfection and she loved him obsessively. Kagome was ranting at Inuyasha and some things never changed. The slayer was not there and neither was the youkai neko. She shrugged and she noticed the houshi was heading away from the camp. She followed him silently and he seemed intent upon something.

 

“What are you doing?” Asuna asked amused.

 

Miroku jumped and he turned to see the inu onna staring at him. He got a sly smile on his face and Asuna knew that he thought himself so smooth. Poor man was just an amateur in her opinion.

 

“Did not think I would see you again. How are you?” He asked smiling.

 

“I am well enough. How are you?” She said keeping in her wide smile.

 

“Decent. I am in need of a bath though.” Miroku said waggling his brows.

 

“Oh?” She asked highly amused.

 

“Hai but I do hate to bathe alone.” He replied.

 

“Lead the way.” She said smirking.

 

He seemed surprised and he went towards an onsen. She watched him reach the rocky outcrop and he stood there and he did seem embarrassed. She walked past him and proceeded to undress right there. To his credit; he said nothing and she stepped into the hot water and she watched him with highly amused eyes.

 

“You have no shame do you?” He asked actually blushing.

 

“I am part inu bitch. Do you seriously think I care about decorum? I am inu royalty.” She laughed softly.

 

“Are you?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. Technically so is Inuyasha but he does not claim his title. He is the younger son of Lord Touga; the Inu no Taisho. Touga was the Western lord and therefore Inuyasha was a younger prince. Sesshomaru is the eldest born and therefore the current lord of the Western lands.” Asuna shrugged.

 

They chatted some time and she did not make any moves on him but she did lay on the innuendo. Poor houshi had an erection to end all erections and she smirked like a mad woman. She left and poor Miroku was left to take care of himself.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She returned to the modern era and her mind was on Julianus. She did her rounds and she realized she had needed to see her family. She ported into the basilisk apartment and Amedeo was surprised. He looked puzzled and she was leaning against the doorway.

 

“You look like a cat that has eaten a canary femmina.” Amedeo said smiling.

 

“Perhaps I have.” Asuna smiled.

 

Justinus smiled and he took his baby sister by the hand and he took her out of the room. Amedeo only stared at his wife and she stared at him.

 

“Okay what is going on?” He asked.

 

She neared him and she scented him. She was hit by that same powerful scent but it was stronger in Julianus. She realized it was his sire's blood and she stared at his eyes.

 

“I met your father.” She whispered.

 

“My Papa? Really? Why?” He asked surprised.

 

“Quite by accident. He was a good man and I saw a sculpture of your mother. I saw you as a small boy.” She grinned.

 

“Oh?” Amedeo asked with a soft smile.

 

“Hai. You were so cute. Your father kept your hair shorter then I am used to seeing on you.” She said running fingers through his hair.

 

“It was the style. You are making me quite fevered femmina.” He said suddenly overly hot.

 

“Well I did not know that your father was a general and he was made rex.” She said ghosting lips over his jaw.

 

“Si. You never asked.” He teased.

 

“My husband.” Asuna husked getting lustful.

 

“So what else did you do femmina?” He asked slowly easing her shirt up and off of her and her skirt.

 

“I was in a battle with Sanra and she injured me badly. Your sire found me and he called on Egypt.” She said in his ear.

 

“Egypt? Who was pharaoh? Hor-aha?” He asked running his hands over her.

 

“Anupu.” She whispered.

 

“I see. Did you make amends femmina?” He asked with bright eyes.

 

He lifted her up and she undid his trousers. Amedeo was shaking a little and he groaned as he settled in her. She had been holding herself back from him and now she was freely giving him time. He had hated the separation and he moaned loudly.

 

“Anupu and I have an understanding.” She whispered in a long soft moan.

 

She leaned forward in his arms and she sank fangs into him and he hissed in surprise. The pleasure crushed him and he buckled. Their bodies melded in a frenzy and Amedeo crushed her. He was out of it and he fell to his back. He was barely able to make out her face and he saw intense satisfaction.

 

“You are pleased?” He asked in a tired voice.

 

“Hai. You felt so good.” She sighed in happiness.

 

“Evil femmina.” He laughed softly.

 

“Well you are very good at that my love. Practice did make you perfect.” She teased.

 

Amedeo actually turned red and she smirked. She kissed his nose and she found her clothes.

 

“Do you think me a whore?” Amedeo asked embarrassed.

 

“In your young days, hai but I have no room to talk. You are gorgeous and you know it.” She shrugged.

 

“Asuna you have a way with words.” He growled.

 

“Perhaps but you are a sexy beast.” She yawned.

 

“Thank you but you piss me off!” He said straightening his clothes.

 

“Why?” She asked miffed.

 

“Because I am not a whore and I am not your whore! How can you act like this when we married?” He demanded.

 

“I was teasing you Amedeo. Lighten up darling. I was only trying to play with you. Geez.” Asuna said rolling her eyes.

 

He glared at her and she sighed.

 

“You are wonderful and I think you fantastic.” She said sitting in his lap.

 

“But you act as though I cannot handle myself. You keep me in the dark and you shut me away. Any particular reason?” He demanded in a growled.

 

“Because I am selfish and I wish to keep you safe. I do not want you to have to chase after the wyvern and I want you to have a life.” She said flatly.

 

“Good Gods. You keep me.” He accused.

 

“Whatever Amedeo. You were royalty; you should be used to a good life. You are an excellent father and husband, what is wrong with our life?” She demanded.

 

“I am basilisk!” He shouted.

 

“Okay.” She shrugged.

 

He sighed and he realized that when they had fallen in love that she had become that crazy protective over him. What she did over certain mates she was doing to him. He was exasperated and never in his wildest dreams did he think he would be like this. She got up and he glared at her.

 

“You have no intentions of allowing me to avenge myself do you?” Amedeo asked.

 

“Probably not. I told you what happened when I made that deal with Apollo. You are temperamental and emotional my darling. Drostan knows this. You are good and he is evil. You do not have a bad bone in your body and I do. I am sorry but I have it in me to rip his face off and you well; you let Fabius live. I did not.” She shrugged.

 

Amedeo sputtered and his face was red.

 

“You think I cannot kill?” He asked indignantly.

 

“I think you would if you had to but why should you? You have Gabrielus, Valerian, and me to do it for you. That is what we are doing by the way. Dearest, I met your father…I saw you as a child. You were raised in love and your childhood was good. This evil was not known to you. You have me now. I am that part of you that is your vengeance and avenge Valentina I will. Avenge your babes I will. They are apart of you so they are apart of me.” Asuna said holding his face.

 

He was conflicted and her words warmed his heart but his male pride was affronted. She stepped back and it fully occurred to him what had happened. She had appropriated his generals and his basilisk as her own killing machines. She had taken over what had been his military staff and he was her consort. He was furious and he went to find Adrastus.

 

“Adrastus!” He growled.

 

“Si?” His best friend asked.

 

“When did I quit being rex?” He demanded.

 

“I assumed you still were.” Adrastus said confused.

 

“Then why is my wife commanding Gabrielus and Valerian into battle?” He snarled.

 

“Oh my.” His advisor said.

 

“She has taken over completely! She has taken over my life!” Amedeo said in shock.

 

“Majesty are you not happy?” He asked.

 

“I do not know. How can I? My femmina tells me what to do!” He said in anger.

 

Etsuko realized her mother was stepping on toes and she held in her sigh. Her mother's need to control and protect was pissing off a very powerful and volatile personality in Amedeo Servius. The ningen mate of Adrastus sighed and called Naraku. Fireworks were going to erupt and soon she realized

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She knew he was pissed but she did not care. When he had committed suicide it had affected her badly. She would not allow him to leave her again. If she had to control him then so be it. She would rather him yell and spew anger at her then be dead. She was being methodic but Julianus still permeated her mind. She shoved him mentally to the side and Asuna worked on charts. She had a knock on her door in Tokyo and she waved the door open. Ryukotsusei stepped in and she smiled at him. He looked sheepish and she raised a brow.

 

“Do not accuse me of not giving you attention.” She said sweetly.

 

“Asuna! My Kami onna.” He said nearing her.

 

“You looked so delectable.” Asuna said smiling.

 

“Onna you are insatiable. Do you know that was only my second time?” Ryu said mumbling.

 

“But still so wonderful. Did your father hate me much?” She asked going back to her work.

 

“With a passion. I said nothing. Ryo adored you too.” He said softly.

 

“Oh. He is funny.” She said smiling.

 

“Onna.” He said shaking.

 

“What is it Ryu?” She asked looking up.

 

“Mizuchi was searching for you. He attacked the West looking for you.” He said looking at her face.

 

“Oh. Well it was supposed to happen. I still killed him as Sorami and you still killed me. It worked out.” She shrugged.

 

“Stop! Your words wound me!” He whispered as he neared his lips.

 

“Ryu it had to happen. I apologize but I followed clues left by Sanra. I love you. I want you to know I am not ashamed of my feelings. I do love you.” She said kissing him.

 

He was affected and he gathered her in his arms tightly.

 

“I have contemplated things. I am a bastard.” He said heavily.

 

“Tell me later.” Asuna whispered.

 

The dragon lord lost it and picked her up, they made love as they always did and it left them both weak from the emotions. He held her tightly and his emotions were a mess. He had confessed things to Ryuu his brother and his brother was shocked. He confessed he just wanted away and out. Ryukotsusei felt like a huge bastard but it made him weak every time he neared her. He knew if he had to do over; he would have hunted down this onna. He should have and he had cowered. Ryu fell asleep completely wrapped around her. Asuna too was fast asleep and she slept deeply and felt safe with him. She felt the same with Maec and it was such an odd thing.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was avoiding the past but not Anupu. Minkah had been brought forward but she did send him back with a long letter to Anupu. She had written down absolutely everything that was going on and she had even sent a three dimensional sonogram of their pup. Minkah had said Anupu had about shit his kilt. She had laughed and Anupu's letter was magnificent. She found him witty and she decided that whilst she was in a different era; she would write him to keep him abreast. Minkah was happy to be a mail man and his eyes had wandered about. She caught him looking at several females and she growled.

 

“Your sire's reborn name is Hwan.” She growled.

 

“Oh cool! Before I get lorded over again I want to have some fun! Bye Haha!” He grinned and ported out.

 

Her Egyptian son was too gorgeous and realized he was a cad. She growled at that thought and she was in Karakura Town again plotting. She kept returning to the Khingan Range and she realized how many battles with Sanra she had fought around there. She also realized there was something in Italy. What kind of fracture she meant she did not know but she intended to find out. She was terribly into her research when a hand touched her shoulder. She stiffened and she whirled around. Aizen Sosuke smiled and she lashed out.

 

“You have been a busy onna have you not?” He asked.

 

“You have no right to ask me anything you evil bastard.” Asuna hissed.

 

“See you and that Shouten were quite put out that day. Why?” Aizen asked.

 

“Because you are in need of oblivion. Get out!” She snarled in a rage.

 

“No. You know something.” He said coldly.

 

His hand was around her neck and she gasped in breath. She struggled and he was holding her still with his reiastu. She snarled out and he was calm.

 

“Now. I repeat my question Lady Asuna. What is it you know?” He asked.

 

“You are an evil son of a whore and you need to die. That is what I know.” She rasped out.

 

He sighed softly and he flung her against a wall. She hit harshly and slid down. She let out her dagger and she was astonished to see Annka suddenly appear.

 

“Not nice. Do not pick on a goddess little man because someday the goddess will bite back.” Annka said coldly.

 

“Oh?” He asked very interested.

 

Aizen felt the power from the onna and he shunpoed behind her. He flung Asuna and she hit Annka hard. Annka hissed and Asuna was dazed.

 

“Call on Gwydion's power!” She hissed in her ear.

 

“How?” She asked confused.

 

“Just do it!” Annka commanded.

 

Asuna mentally called on Gwydion and she was barely aware of anything. She flung a nami that slammed into Aizen and his skin took on a bluish caste. His hollow eyes burned in anger and he stared at her in fury but remained cool.

 

“You still owe me Lady Asuna and my patience is thin. I will have answers and much sooner then you think!” He said and he was gone.

 

She was gasping and her hands were blue.

 

“How did I?” She asked in shock.

 

“The veils are thin Asuna. I have told you this repeatedly. You have been pulling him out because those walls will break. There are some who wish revenge and they will get back at the infants.” She said in a haunting voice.

 

“We put them there. The infants put the ekimmu there!” She said in shock.

 

“Yes.” The ekimmu nodded.

 

“Terre de Brume is not necessarily another plane but it is a prison!” Asuna said in realization.

 

“Very good my dear. Why do you think I choose not to stay?” She smirked.

 

“But why? Why did the younger blood drinkers do that?” She demanded.

 

“Power my dear. Who do you think had all the power and who do you think wanted it? The ekimmu were the original but the infants were rather impatient it seemed. Some were stronger then others; I was one of them. Arianrhod had compassion for her people and in the end it killed her.” She said in a cold voice.

 

“Who killed her? Who killed Arianrhod?” The younger onna asked in a whisper.

 

“You should ask the Ramanga.” She said in a disgusted tone.

 

“Eyal's kind of uppyr?” She asked surprised.

 

“That delicious boy is not who he thinks he is. For certain his mother was my bitterest rival but no, he is half empusae. Why do you think he is so powerful?” Annka replied.

 

“Ayille had a half empusae babe?” She asked stunned.

 

“Silly girl. Kerr was my cousin.” She said leaning against a wall.

 

Asuna felt socked in the stomach.

 

“Ayille took an empusae for a mate?” She asked Annka.

 

“Yes. She was mean and cruel and he liked blood and sex. It worked for them. Neither of them cared a whit for their offspring and dumped them.” She said shrugging.

 

“You old ones are disgusting!” She screamed.

 

“I told you I had no choice with Danika! I do not remember my other offspring.” She growled.

 

“Do right by Leif you ancient heifer!” Asuna snarled.

 

Annka growled in anger and she phased out. Asuna was stunned and she ported to Budapest. Eyal stayed busy with his modern interests and he was surprised to see her. She had concealed a lot. She had concealed a ton and she was fixing to share it all.

 

“Eyal.” She said softly.

 

“I am not sure I like the tone.” Eyal said pensive.

 

“I have learned much. Can we talk?” She asked.

 

“I suppose. You look well wife.” He said getting up and pouring some red wine.

 

“I know about Ayille and Kerr.” She said as he sipped.

 

“Well those names I despise but okay.” He shrugged.

 

“Ayille is Ramanga and Kerr was empusae.” She said watching him.

 

His warm brown eyes blinked and he processed what she said.

 

“Impossible.” He said shaking his head.

 

“Why?” Asuna asked.

 

“Because we found out I was a Ramanga uppyr.” Eyal said stubbornly.

 

“Ayille was a contemporary of Annka Novak who was mother to Danika. Did you know that Danika was dead?” She asked him.

 

“I thought I heard.” He said sitting.

 

“I killed her. I ripped her head from her body and Sebastein burned her heart.” She grinned.

 

“Damn.” He said shuddering.

 

“Hai. So she is quite dead and thank the Kamis. Maec is not dead either.” She said watching him carefully.

 

His face stayed impassive but his eyes bled red. He turned his face towards her and he was furious. He was utterly furious and he actually growled out in fury.

 

“You told me you killed him.” He said tapping his foot.

 

“I undid it.” Asuna murmured.

 

“Pray tell why? Is it like Yhea and he redeemed himself someway? I know all about that too my dear. You and the Shouten are all nice and cozy now?” Eyal asked too sweetly.

 

“Sanra is to blame for much and I suspect Ganek. Maec was crazy as a loon, hai but he was innocent in some ways. He has done much in his madness but he is no longer mad.” She said stubbornly.

 

“Uh huh. Attacking innocent uppyr and killing my kind for centuries because he could. Do you forget that you are uppyr this life?” He asked tapping his claws next.

 

“I was wraith before.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“I do not give a fuck. You are my kind this life!” He snarled suddenly.

 

He was up and he grabbed her. He pinned her down against his desk and he was pissed off badly. He ripped open her button down shirt and sank his fangs into her breast. She screamed out and he filled her with such tremendous pleasure that it crippled her.

 

-You seem to forget my dear what I can do to you. Not even your little fucking Sebastein can do this to you! - Eyal snarled in her mind.

 

She was rasping in and out as wave after wave washed through her from his bite alone. She realized he did have empusae yoki but his power was Novak power. Asuna could no longer figure out anything and she was orgasming. Eyal was in a seriously bad mood and he ported them to his bedroom. He intended to make his wife remember him and he would make her confess her sins. Rina smirked on the steps of the townhouse when she heard the yells. She loved it when her father made her mother submit. Rina Tepest went on her business as her mother screamed in continuous rapture.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She could not move. She was seriously weak and Eyal was up and drinking coffee. He loved his wife always but he did not like her right now. Asuna moved to the side of the bed and began to weakly vomit.

 

“Oh hell.” He sighed.

 

“Luca please.” She whispered exhausted.

 

“Da. Be right back.” Eyal shook his head as he stood up.

 

Eyal got his uppyr doctor and the physician came in and he looked over the wife and long time mate of their ruler. She was sleepy and she glared at Eyal. He made a face at her and smirked.

 

“Well Luca?” He said almost pleased as pie.

 

“You already know majesty.” The old uppyr laughed.

 

Asuna groaned and she was furious with him. Luca left and Eyal got up and whistled as he dressed.

 

“Arrogant bastard!” She snarled.

 

“What? I should not be pleased because I am still virile?” He asked in a snotty tone.

 

“Asshole!” Asuna said grabbing one of his robes.

 

“Please make certain to take in blood my dear. My babe will need it. I will also be present for its birth mind you. I have not missed a one. Have a pleasant day and tell your Shouten to choke themselves.” He smiled.

 

She threw a figurine at his head and he laughed. She ported out and he was really very pleased. He would teach his strong willed life partner a thing or two. He whistled as he went on about his day and he made plans to meet certain Shouten. She may care for them but he certainly did not. Draco's death had never been avenged.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nobu found her and she was sheepish. She sank her fangs into his neck and he swooned. She also then explained what Eyal had done. Nobu called the uppyr king later and yelled at him. Eyal had pleasantly told him thank you for caring but to mind his spider business. Asuna was now blood starved and she was furious with Eyal. She ported into Admal's apartment and he looked up from his book.

 

“Hello.” He said turning the page.

 

“I need blood.” She said shaking.

 

“What is wrong?” Admal asked in concern.

 

He stood up immediately and he walked over to her. He guided her fangs to his neck and she began to drink. She pathed what had happened and he was in a rage. Maec too would be pissed and they had not thought about her relationship with the uppyr and he narrowed his blue eyes. Kala was asleep and so were Isha and Maiell. He could not exactly leave at the moment and he sighed heavily. She drank a lot and he could not share his bed with her and he sighed at that too.

 

“Isha?” He asked stroking her hair.

 

“Your blood is good.” She murmured.

 

“Mortal blood would sustain you too my love.” He said holding her.

 

“I will not eat the mortals!” Asuna snarled.

 

“Be reasonable! You have a blood drinker within you.” He said shaking her a little.

 

“Stop it okay? I wish to see my children.” She snapped at him.

 

“They are in their room.” He said rolling his eyes.

 

Asuna went to her tr'Awnhi children and she was lay beside them. Admal let her and he called on his nanny for Kala. He managed to keep her existence to himself and he always took Isha and Maiell back and forth to Maec. It was safer that way and he let his lover sleep with her children. The nanny was there and he hugged the old Shouten woman. She had been his nanny too and she was like a mother to him.

 

“The queen is sleeping with the children Aseena. I will return very soon.” He said squeezing her hands.

 

“Very good my prince.” She bowed low.

 

“You have taken in enough blood to stay here for some time just in case? If need be you can take them to Maec in the in between at his lodge.” He explained.

 

“I am well fed.” Aseena stated.

 

Admal nodded and he phased out. He appeared in Budapest and immediately he felt uppyr everywhere. He saw the famed Vlad Tepest step forward and he narrowed his blue eyes.

 

“What is a Shouten doing in my home?” Eyal demanded.

 

“Wondering if you are stupid?” Admal demanded.

 

“Do not piss me off wraith!” the uppyr hissed.

 

“I am not Yhea. I am also a corporeal Shouten. My mother was a succubus before my father brutally murdered her.” He said as if bored.

 

“So?” He asked.

 

“Asuna is my queen. Maec is my brother and basically the only father I have ever known. You have no clue what has gone on and frankly your little temper tantrum puts her at risk. I do not have to like you and if you hurt her again then you will deal with me.” He said narrowing his beautiful blue eyes.

 

Eyal went to strike and Admal lifted his hand and Eyal was slammed against a wall. Eyal was staring at a very powerful man but he managed to break Admal's hold which surprised the tr'Awnhi prince. He in turn slammed Admal through a glass door and the mental prowess of both men was beyond the norm.

 

“You really want to fuck with me Shouten? You may be older but I assure you I do not lead the uppyr for no reason.” He said coldly.

 

“Go ahead uppyr. I am not afraid of you. I love her too you know but I am not threatened by her natural ways. Did you know she was an ekimmu before any of this? Before anything she was one of the first ones.” Admal said wiping blood from his mouth.

 

“I really do not care. Past lives are past lives. They are over and dwelling on them serves no purpose. The only thing that matters is the here and now. I know that I was possessed for hundreds of years on orders from the Steppe Wraiths. I know that little bastard Yhea at one time raped Asuna and she forgave him and now he has a son by her. He made my life hell and caused war between wraith and uppyr for centuries!” He snarled.

 

“Are you so certain it was Yhea who finished all that? I am pretty certain Asuna showed up in his past and besotted the poor boy. Sanra and her twin loved to fuck up the politics of the corporeal plane but you know everything.” The tr'Awnhi prince said rolling his eyes.

 

“What would she gain by doing all that?” Eyal demanded.

 

“Trying to kill Asuna? Did she not almost succeed in doing so at one point when you were possessed by a Shouten? I assure you the power to possess is much and to do so for long periods of time takes a much older wraith. Good Gods you idiot…you blame the wrong Shouten.” He said shaking his head.

 

“Why would she seriously do all that?” The uppyr ruler asked in a sick feeling.

 

“Because our existence is not yours uppyr. Time is different for a Shouten and the planes are different. Linear time has not the same meaning for us and you expect me to be able to explain that to you? You also wish me to explain my demented sisters? I have no clue except she wants power and lots of it. Asuna stands in her way and has for many lifetimes.” He shrugged.

 

“So I may have been violated by a woman?” Eyal asked sitting down.

 

“Very likely. Sanra enjoys defiling men as a male figure. It gets her off.” Admal shrugged.

 

“Oh God.” He said getting up.

 

“That was what Maec dealt with. She poisoned him with mind altering crap. I know it is hard to digest and hard to deal with but it is true. Asuna knows this now. She saw him at times as he could be and she had begun to suspect he was not truly evil. He is not. He has done greatly evil things but like you; he can be redeemed. Now you did an asinine thing.” The blue eyed wraith said in anger.

 

“What making love to my wife? Go to hell Shouten but I have been married to her since the seventeenth century you little piss ant!” The uppyr ruler said furiously.

 

“Go ahead and posture for I have no need. I stay in her life constantly uppyr. You just sit back and wait. I refuse. That will always be the difference between the House of Tepest and the House of tr'Awnhi little man. I may look young but I am more then twice your age on this plane and I can kill you easily enough.” Admal said smirking.

 

Admal phased out and Eyal was stunned stupid. This man; this Shouten had blatantly told him that he was pretty well old news. Anger coursed through him and he would show the corporeal blood drinking bastard exactly who he was. He refused to be put aside by anyone and he had long ago accepted his wife for what she was because he was what she was. He went to his room and he pulled out his books on the Shouten. He would force him to become an expert on the bastards and he would insert himself right back in her life.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna went back with Minkah and she was asleep next to Anupu at Avaris. He watched her and she was exhausted. He frowned and her letters had been entertaining and witty. She was quite good at the written word and he found himself quite taken with her as such. He lay beside her and kissed her shoulder and she mumbled curses at the uppyr in her sleep. He chuckled and he closed his eyes. His palace was quiet and she had asked softly if she could drink from him and he had nodded and pretended to be put out. Asuna bolted upright and she fell out of the bed. Anupu shot up as well and she looked around.

 

“What is it? Asuna! What is wrong?” He asked quietly.

 

“I feel something! Something dark.” She said worried.

 

“Dark? What do you mean?” Anupu asked.

 

“Angry. Something is angry. Fury.” Asuna said as if in a trance.

 

“You are scaring me.” He said wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

 

“Me. He blames me. It is my fault.” She said looking around.

 

“Who?” He demanded getting upset.

 

“Wants to make me suffer. It is my fault. You are there ekimmu! You are there and there you will stay!” She screamed out.

 

“Asuna?” He asked in doubt.

 

“I do not know his name. I only know he is angry. He blames me for being there.” She said standing.

 

“What the hell?” The pharaoh asked.

 

“Nothing. In the morning I am going back to Italy to find this fracture that Sanra was talking about. I am well. I am curious.” She said lying beside him and wrapping his arms around her.

 

Anupu was worried and he kept in his thoughts. He knew she would ask for aid but he also knew how much pride she had. He fell asleep with his arms wrapped tightly around her and he only wished to keep her safe.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was avoiding Julianus but she was searching the many hills outside of Roma. She was feeling the auras and it was quite powerful in some areas and she knew that this could be an area where stones could be built. She noticed some deep cavern like cracks and the pulse of power was deafening.

 

“I would not do that.” She heard.

 

She whirled to see the pythos and she bowed her head in respect. He looked her over and he stepped closer.

 

“You have been a very busy woman I see. You have down right besotted the white and the black generals. You are quite the female.” He smiled sensually.

 

“Why do I not want to go down there?” She asked softly.

 

“Because the nasties might try and grab you. Something about a thin veil and all. Those ekimmu are full of themselves and better off in prison if you ask me.” Apollo laughed.

 

“This is a gateway?” She asked shocked.

 

“Oh yes. I am surprised that Shouten cunt has not found it but then I have been shielding it.” He smiled sweetly.

 

“Why would you do that?” Asuna asked surprised.

 

“Because! You guard my future mate! I have to wait but I need you to raise her and all. Besides you entertain me with your various love affairs with my subjects!” He laughed merrily.

 

She actually blushed madly and he sat down upon a rock.

 

“Do you know how boring long life is? Sometimes rule breakers like you come along and shake things all up. Makes life vastly entertaining. Basilisk society does not share quite so freely but you have managed to make three your willing slaves? Oh wait, four!” He tittered.

 

“I do not look at them as slaves pythos!” She snapped.

 

“Well might as well be. They would impale themselves for you. No matter. Julianus is fully black basilisk but his tribe was very powerful. They had fine tuned their demonic energies and channeled them much like you do with your pretty little sword! Sicily is different and the blacks there developed differently. The level of demonic energies in their blood is escalated.” He said pacing.

 

“The rumors amongst the mainland black basilisk are that the Servius family was descended from gods.” She said.

 

“There was a pythos on Sicily at one time. The Servius are from the Pythos.” He smiled.

 

“So the Pythos evolved into…” She started to say.

 

“Basilisk, yes.” Apollo finished.

 

“What did they breed with dragons and such?” Asuna asked.

 

“Exactly. They became their own unique breed of reptile. Now you know. I am a pure pythos and of a bygone breed. Julianus is a descendent of a pure pythos. So in a sense he is descended from a god.” He laughed.

 

She understood and she stiffened. Apollo was gone and so were the cracks into the deep caverns. She turned to see Julianus and he was dressed in a black chiton with a black toga edged in gold. His hair whipped in the wind and he stared at her.

 

“Femmina.” He said softly.

 

“Rex.” She said bowing.

 

“They took you. Are you well?” He inquired.

 

“I am well. I was searching for the fracture you mentioned.” Asuna said as they stood apart.

 

“I do not care about that at the moment.” Julianus said flatly.

 

He stepped forward fast and jerked her to him. Their lips melded immediately and he was kissing her with such incredible passion. She moaned against his mouth and he had been worried and angry since she was gone. Asuna was in such deep emotional confusion to this man that she just could not help herself. He released her mouth and forced himself to step back.

 

“I was concerned for you.” He said breathless.

 

“Thank you but they would not hurt me.” Asuna replied.

 

“They called you their regina.” Julianus said.

 

“I cannot answer. I am sorry your majesty but I can stop Sanra and I shall but I cannot answer too many questions. Gabrielus and Valerian are loyal to me.” She said flatly.

 

Julianus was unused to evasiveness and she stepped away to port. He could not let her go. He just could not and stepped into her personal space again.

 

“Femmina, please do not leave again.” He said softly.

 

“Julianus, I have to. You are so beautiful and I am so enamored with you but I do not want to use you.” She said softly.

 

“Have you stopped thinking of me? I have not stopped thinking of you. I have dreamed of you. I have needed you. Tell me you have not dreamed of me too.” He said under his breath.

 

Asuna could not answer and he was being reckless but the last time he had been reckless he had found happiness. He had found Antonia and he kissed her again. She groaned into his mouth and he sought deeper. His kisses made her see stars and he did not care where he was. He truly never did any of this but he pressed her back against the rock. He carefully undid what silks he could whilst he kissed her and he knew she had been with a basilisk before. Julianus kissed her silver down and she moaned softly.

 

“I do not want to be without you here.” He whispered softly.

 

Her eyes slid shut as his tongue slid between her lips and she groaned out hard. His tongue was busy flicking against her nub and he tasted her in all of her glory. He scraped the venom marks and she gasped and he knew profound lust. Asuna cried out and he was so captivated in his venture. She felt the aura and she hissed out. Julianus went from lover to warrior instantly. He slipped his toga off and he pulled his weapon. Sanra was there and she was highly pissed.

 

“In fiery flame by starlight pale!” Julianus cried out.

 

Sanra went to lash out but it was dark and she was blinded. She could not believe it and the basilisk had unusual powers. She felt the blade slash her side and she yelped. The darkness cleared and there was a great black snake like creature. Sanra snarled out and Asuna was now dressed and she came up behind the Shouten princess. Asuna cut into her shoulder and she backhanded her. Julianus stuck that second and bit into her hand with his jagged fangs. She shrieked the death toll of a wraith and blood and venom erupted from the wound. She slashed his face with her claws and her eyes had gone white in order to avoid petrification. Julianus curled his body and slammed her against the rocks and she was bad off and his venom was highly toxic. She was choking and gasping badly. He transformed and blood dripped from his face and Asuna was astonished at him.

 

“You can bend the light and night?” She asked surprised.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

“Thank you.” She said cupping his face.

 

Sanra was bleeding out and she slowly stood up. She had not realized but this beast was supremely powerful. He turned to stare at her and he glared at her.

 

“You are a dead man. I will kill you myself! You have signed your own death warrant snake.” She said as her wounds were not closing.

 

Asuna stepped forward and she let loose a nami right before Sanra phased out and the Shouten princess was slammed into jagged rocks. She coughed and she went to try and go at her again when Sanra produced a weak barrier. This was the weakest Asuna had seen Sanra in a long while and she choked up tons of blood. Very slowly and very weakly she phased out and the inu princess whirled to stare at Julianus.

 

“You stopped her from regenerating!” She said shocked.

 

“My venom is corrosive si? It can prevent healing.” He said shrugging.

 

“Julianus you may be my answer to a prayer!” She said in excitement.

 

“I am glad to help femmina. She is evil I can see.” Julianus said softly.

 

Julianus held her chin and he stared at her eyes.

 

“Somehow my fate is tied to yours femmina. Whatever the Gods have in store for me and for you; I hope that perhaps I can be of service.” He said very seriously.

 

“You are amazing.” Asuna murmured shaking her head.

 

“I can say the same for you. Please return with me to my palace, si?” He asked cupping her face in his hands.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Shudders went down her spine as he shifted them away. Asuna now knew where the fracture was and she now knew that Apollo was on her side. Sanra had been actually harmed and she wondered if she took some of Julianus's blood to Maec; could he make a concoction to make her own healing powers null like Sanra had done to her. Possibilities entered her brain and she shut out the foreboding feeling she had in Egypt of a very angry ekimmu. Someone was pissed off and someone wanted her dead at any costs.
