Lies of the Deceiver

He took her to another smaller palace that he reserved only for himself. He was acting like the “old” Aizen. The one that he been beloved in Soul Society and the one that nobody saw the truth; what a truly wretched being he was. He knew they were searching for her and he knew Old Man Yamamoto would direct her to be found at all costs. The Captain General of Soul Society was ancient but he was no fool. He knew that Lady Asuna and the old man had some sort of history but what it was he was uncertain. Now she was staring at the desert and he watched her.

“Why do you stare out the window?” He asked in a soothing voice.

“I have this block in my mind and it is very overwhelming. I know I am supposed to know things but I do not. I saw the look of horror on the Shouten's face and it makes me wonder. Why would he lie about me giving him children?” Asuna asked looking at him.

“Because he is manipulative and cruel. I know some of your history and he was most intent upon killing you. These beings; these Shouten have access to ways of going forward and back in time. This beast that you almost killed was saved by another of his insipid kind. This era is a future era. Do you remember what happened to you?” He asked softly as he neared her.

“It was the Boxer Rebellion and the ningen in China were throwing off the despotism. My son Ang Chi ruled quietly in Manchuria but he had installed a ningen emperor after he stepped aside from rule. Things went badly and there was a huge battle. Ang Chi called upon me and I went. I do not remember anything after that.” She explained staring at him.

He took in what she said and he realized that she had been in Soul Society. He had heard that she had been restored but had not believed it. He held her close as a lover should and she melted in his arms. He calmed her and just let her be. It was really so easy.

Kensei sat with the other Vizards as they talked amongst themselves. He had gone to see his son and he was not there. He was disturbed and he had not heard from his onna. Muguruma always heard from her when she was in this era and he was getting anxious. He wanted to take his son, Yuichi, fishing. He was still small but he enjoyed sitting on the sand and watching him.

“Kensei?” Shinji inquired.

“What?” He groused.

“You still worried?” His friend asked.

“Yeah. You all argue and bitch. I've gotta find out some crap.” He said in a bad mood.

Shinji watched as his friend and the former captain leave the warehouse. Muguruma and the inu got along well again after their bout of tempers. He knew his friend and until Aizen was defeated; he would never truly settle down. The fact that he had a son that he was devoted to made him work harder. The idea that his son was missing was tearing up his friend badly. Shinji sighed and it was never a dull day with the youkai onna running around.

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

He really did not know where else to go and he went to the youkai hospital. The place was busy with various supes and he saw Nobu. He flagged him down and the poor man looked as worried as he was.

“What's wrong kumo?” He asked gruffly.

“Actually you being here is great! We have to get into Hueco Mundo.” He said looking over Kensei.

“Why?” Kensei asked tightly.

“Asuna was knocked pretty hard in the head and damn near everything from her time waking up from Soul Society till now is gone. She does not remember anything.” Nobu explained.

“What?” He asked stunned.

“Hai. Aizen took her.” The kumo doctor said flatly.

His blood boiled and his golden brown eyes looked wretchedly angry.

“Fucking Aizen took her? She doesn't remember anything?” He asked horrified.

“No. I am sorry. We felt it was best to keep the children sheltered. Your son is now in the West under Lady Augusta.” Nobu said calmly.

“I need to see my son. Then I'm gonna kick Aizen's ass!” He said coldly.

“She is not at Los Noches that much is certain. I admit this is out of my area. I have always patched her up.” He sighed.

“So how do we fix her?” He demanded clenching his fists.

“It is not always that simple; even by modern medicine.” The kumo said gently.

Kensei was tense and he had to make some calls. He wondered if the damn brat even knew what the hell was going on. He wondered if Soul Society knew what the hell was going on.

Kaimei sat in Teru's office and he very rarely bothered with the ningen kami but this was too important. Hikari had rambled off that Aizen had her mother. That was enough to get him moving into the Seireitei. So now Teru sat there across from him in his old man disguise and he rolled his eyes. Why the man had to hide his true nature was beyond him but then he was a Tomoshibi and he really did not care.

“This is not to be borne” Kaimei said flatly.

“No. Aizen having access to her yoki is unacceptable.” Yamamoto agreed.

“Your concern is most heart warming Teruyoshi.” The Tomoshibi said sneering.

“Me dealings with her have been difficult to say the least and your brother has been a pest to be sure.” He said deigning to look at him.

“She has accused me of being heartless and full of myself. I think you have me beat old friend. Your words are charming.” Kaimei said standing up in anger.

“Before you belabor your tirades Kaimei find out what that onna has done! She has stormed all through decorum and every rule laid out by Soul Society. Did you know that Hasegawa Zhang has been seen in Soul Society?” Teru demanded in anger.

Kaimei's mouth went dry and he dumbly stared at the head of the Gotei Thirteen.

“Hai. Your father has been seen in Soul Society. Your sometimes lover brought your father back from a bygone distant era. Zhang of all people should have known better.” He growled in righteous dignity.

He phased out and he appeared at the family home in Seagaia. He was trembling and he saw his wayward daughter. She would scream and argue with him much and go behind his back often. She was the spitting image of her mother with golden hair.

“Hikari!” He snarled.

Hikari appeared and she plastered that smile on her face. He shook in anger and he grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard.

“Did your mother bring back my sire?” He said shaking her roughly.

“How should I know?” She demanded.

“You know everything she does my dear. Please do not treat me as if I am without wit.” He growled.

“So what if she did? He knew what was going on and frankly he is pretty awesome!” She growled back.

“You have met him? Good Kami Hikari! You are just like Kaito!” He said in anger.

“You know for someone who is his son; you are nothing like him. You are a coward.” Hikari said with golden eyes flashing.

“You forget yourself child. I am still your father.” Kaimei said getting furious.

“Hai I know. Do not remind me. Kaito is a much better by the way.” She said storming past him.

She walked out into the peaceful country side and Kizaki ran to catch up with her.

“Do you have to piss him off so bad?” He asked his sister.

“Do you have to be such a kiss ass?” She growled at him.

“Hikari! Damn it sister. You do not even try.” Kizaki said crossing his arms.

“You are so afraid of breaking his rules. Well I agree with Kaito.” She said phasing away.

Kizaki sighed and his poor father was always up in arms over her. Kaimei loved his daughter obsessively but she was hateful and cruel to him. He liked his Uncle Kaito but he also saw him from his sire's point of view. He sighed again and he only broke the rules when he could get away with it. He walked on and he worried for his full sister. He saw the twins and they were so timid; unlike Hikari and he waved. They waved back and phased away. He sighed yet again and he wondered what the hell was going on.

Naraku paced and he was staring at Muguruma Kensei. The man had showed himself and he knew this was an important figure in her life and he was above anything; a great friend. He also contemplated Ichigo. The boy was young still but he did care about her still.

“We can get into Hueco Mundo and keep his minions busy whilst you find her.” Muguruma pointed out.

“Good plan but they are not in this Los Noches. We have confirmed that.” He stated pacing.

“Do you not have an Arrancar as son in law of sorts?” Kensei grumbled.

Naraku really disliked Ulquiorra at times because the man did not fear him. That disturbed him but the Arrancar was utterly loyal to Rishou. Naraku nodded and he looked around.

“Can you gather your comrades and meet me here in about two hours?” The hanyou asked looking at his elegant watch.

Kensei nodded and Naraku made his miasma cloud appear and he walked through. He knocked on his son's door and Rishou opened it. His child looked so much like him and acted so much like his mother. He nodded and Naraku stepped in.

“Hi Chichi.” Rishou murmured.

“Hello son. I have a request.” Naraku said looking around.

“It is about Haha? Can I help?” He asked hopeful.

“I was hoping your friend Ulquiorra was around.” His father said stiffly.

“He is back in Hueco Mundo but I know who can reach him.” He said as he moved past him and picked up his phone.

Naraku waited patiently and within an hour the Fourth Espada stepped into the apartment. He stared over at the hanyou with a little bit of disinterest and he purposely hugged Rishou. Naraku bristled and this creature just always managed to piss him off.

“My Chichi needs your help Ulquiorra.” Rishou said softly.

“For you.” He said in his lifeless voice.

“How about for Lady Asuna? She was your queen was she not?” Naraku growled.

“Lady Asuna was Ayana, hai. She was my queen.” He said flicking his green eyes over the half breed.

“I would so love to kill you.” His father said in annoyance.

“Perhaps you may.” Ulquiorra retorted.

“Stop it!” Rishou snapped.

Ulquiorra stepped back from Rishou and he circled the hanyou. Even when he was Ataru; he had been a dominant male.

“Hisashi was weak.” He sneered.

“Ulquiorra!” His lover growled.

“You and I will have a reckoning you dead fuck!” Naraku said growling low.

“I look forward to it.” He said bowing.

Rishou never understood why the Arrancar provoked his father and it irked him badly but Ulquiorra knew it did. He also would silence him and dominate him which made him tremble. He sighed as his sire stepped into his miasma. Ulquiorra watched dispassionately and Rishou turned on him when he was gone and he growled at him.

“Do you have to do that?” He demanded.

“Hai.” He shrugged.

He went to raise his voice but he was instantly silenced by those cold white lips. The bastard knew how to kiss him and he instantly melted against him. Ulquiorra calmed his lover and he loved to rile up Naraku. Ayana's legacy had been tarnished by the weak man and it made him mad. Ulquiorra had many, many secrets and his love of his former queen was one. He had loved her ardently but never did he cross that line. He had always obeyed and looked out for her interests. His feelings toward Jouichi were no better. He finally stepped back and said nothing else. Rishou knew that he had pretty well unlocked his former life and he sighed. Erena was constantly in anger with their shared mate and he knew the extent of Ulquiorra. Iyo and Nveid were also his lovers and he never said a word to his kumo mate. He truly just wanted some peace and staying silent got him that. He took in a deep breath and sighed. He worried for his mother as well.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naraku fumed at the skinny little bastard. He was highly annoyed by his arrogance and he decided he did not know enough about the prick. He dialed his cell phone and Mizuki picked up.

“I want to know everything about General Ataru.” He growled.

She said hai sir and hung up. The Arrancar was now there and Kensei saw the tension. Shinji and Love had shown up to help him and they stared at the pale skinned Espada with disdain.

“You betray your master?” Muguruma asked.

“I have no master.” The Fourth said flatly.

Naraku snorted and the tension was bad.

“Get them in pale face and create a distraction if you do not mind.” He said coldly.

“Shall I tell you why?” Ulquiorra said dispassionately.

“Do please.” The hanyou retorted.

“She worked tirelessly and gave up much. Gaku Jouichi mated a whore and bore two worthless beings. Now those beings languish.” He said coldly.

Naraku lost it and punched him. Tentacles erupted and the Vizards were in shock at the display. Ulquiorra lifted a finger and Naraku suddenly crushed his hand. He let a bony spear appear and he shoved it in his shoulder. The Espada was surprised but his features were impassive.

“Do as you are told or I end you now!” Naraku said with eyes bright crimson.

Ulquiorra said nothing and pulled out the bony spear which leaked miasma. He stood up from his knocked down position and he made a garganta appear. Kensei looked at Shinji and Love and shrugged. They went through the portal into Hueco Mundo and Naraku ported straight in. His anger was bad and he was in a mood to rip up the shinigami bastard. His mind was not straight and a smile suddenly curved his lips. The ningen soul flexed the fingers of the hanyou and he had exerted his strong will. The melded mind was no longer so and he had a very nasty look on his face.

“Go to sleep you damn jerk.” He growled to himself.

Onigumo had control for now and he closed his now brown eyes. The damn hanyou was so hell bent on taking the safe road and he knew better. This bastard Aizen was a crafty one and the hanyou needed to be a thief. He felt her faint aura and a smile curved his lips. If Naraku had quit fretting and let him do what he knew to do then he would have felt her too. He made the miasma appear and he stepped in. He walked right into a room and Asuna sat up immediately.

“Naraku?” She asked stunned.

“Asuna now!” He growled in command.

Her mate looked different. His eyes were brown and Aizen was up and tried to stop her. Naraku slammed him through a wall with a barrage of diamond like shards. Her mouth dropped opened and he erupted everywhere like the Naraku of old. She dove for cover as the mass of youkai held her mate.

“You really wish to deal with me shinigami?” He asked in a frigid tone.

“What the hell are you?” Aizen asked in surprise.

“Perfection! You touch what is mine. You claim to try and achieve Kami status but I tell you that you never will.” The humanoid portion of him stated.

A tentacle erupted and wrapped around his mate and he pulled her into the mass. He knew her and she was not afraid of him. He released a huge cloud of miasma and shielded her from it with a barrier. Aizen tried to get through but he ported them into the living plane. He was suddenly his humanoid self again and she stared at him in awe.

“My inu. My Asuna.” He said cupping her chin and holding her close.

“You are not Naraku.” She said shaking.

“I am in part. I am that which gave him the balls to come and take you back.” He said in a husky tone.

“Why did you need to?” Asuna asked surprised.

“My poor koi. My dearest.” He said holding her to him.

“Onigumo?” She asked stunned totally.

“For now. Only for now. I will meld back soon.” He said refusing to let her go.

“You love that miko whore!” She growled.

“No inu. I only love you. I have only ever loved you.” The hanyou said.

He tilted her head and kissed her. She moaned softly and responded with such passion. He was loosing it and he wrapped his arms around her tighter. She gasped into his mouth and she was astonished.

“Mine!” He said in a low growl.

Asuna watched him gain of look of utter hunger. Her eyes widened fully as those tentacles again erupted and dragged her yukata open. He used his hands to hold her and caress her skin as he shed her clothing. His own clothing just shifted away and the hunger was raw lust.

“I know you remember me koi. I know you remember how much I hunger for your flesh.” He said flatly.

“Hai.” She trembled.

“We have had the argument of that whore many times. I only salivate like an inu when I see you.” He purred against her throat.

“Okay.” Asuna said biting her lips.

“You need me in you inu? Say it!” He commanded.

“Please.” She begged softly.

“Tell me to take my mate. Tell me you need me inu.” Naraku said growling harshly.

“I need you. Take me. Please.” She asked with trembling lips.

He sank her down his length and he sheathed himself deeply within her. His mind was feral now and he made such a deep moan. He held her steady with his tentacles and he thrust up. Her face contorted and he was so turned on by the sight. He continued to thrust himself up into his mate and she began a litany of words and moans that spurred his possessive and crazed nature. The ningen was in control totally and he took the onna of his dreams harder. Words of her devotion spilled from her lips and he made her say who her master was. He never stopped thrusting up into her and her yoki was pulling his hard and then harder. Her rasps were breathy and her cries desperate. His powerful mate was begging him. She begged him to let her release. He ended up with her on her side and his hips moved harder.

“Mine inu. You are mine. You were mine the second I saw you. You were the second you appeared to me. Take me in Asuna. Take my yoki. Take it!” He snarled harshly.

She clawed at the ground and she suddenly screamed loudly as her body squeezed the life out of him for a moment. Their energies had rejoined them and he lost his composure. He cried out hard as his scorching seed left him and he bruised her in his grip as the climax left him. The ningen soul lost control and the hanyou was trembling hard in the after math of the impromptu melding. He groused but it felt incredible. What cemented him to this onna was their ancient connection. Whatever they had done as Sorami and Hisashi had tied them together so intimately that he knew her soul. He knew without a doubt that he knew her better then even Sheng had. Naraku had been with her for so long at this point. She stirred beneath him and his lips pressed to her neck.

“Naraku.” She said in an emotional tone.

“Hai koi. I am here. I am always here. I will never leave you. You are part me. I carry part of you with me always.” He murmured in her ear.

“Where are we?” She asked softly.

“Hakurei-zan.” He said shutting his eyes.

“Of course.” She said sleepily.

“We have to restore your memory koi. We have young pups again that need their Haha to remember them.” He said gently.

“We do?” She asked stunned.

“Hai. We have been busy. Your lovely temper and my stern ways have caused delightful consequences.” The hanyou whispered.

“You love me.” Asuna said softly as tears fell from her eyes.

“Hai. I have always loved you. I loved you as him and the kumo. All of my past loves you.” He said just touching her.

“So who was that man to me?” She asked in a scared tone.

“Our enemy and now on my major shit list. He will be a pile of ash when I finish with him.” He growled fiercely.

She nodded and she suddenly began to sob.

“You trust me?” Naraku asked.

“Of course. Always.” She whimpered.

“Then trust me now koi. Trust in me that I would never hurt you.” He said brushing her hair from her face.

She gave him a look that melted his heart. This onna had power over him that none would ever have. She had what no one would ever have and it was his true heart. The one thing he had tried so hard to rid himself of in centuries past; she kept with her in a way always.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ulquiorra had helped the Vizards create a major distraction and Aizen had returned to Los Noches in a temper. The Fourth discreetly returned to the living plane and he decided to find his former queen. Asuna was with Naraku in Korea and the hanyou was on the phone with some specialists in America that Nobu had worked with before. Nobu was there too and they were sheltering here right now. She stared out a window in deep confusion and he appeared. She startled when she saw the pale faced man and he blinked those deep emerald green eyes.

“Do I know you?” She demanded.

“Hai.” He said simply.

“You seem vaguely familiar.” Asuna murmured.

“Please come with me.” Ulquiorra stated with no life to his voice.

“Why are you so pale?” She asked him as she stood.

“I am Arrancar. Come please.” He said taking her arm and he produced a garganta. He pulled her back into Hueco Mundo but it was an isolated post.

Ulquiorra stood with his hands in his pockets and he stared at her.

“Who are you?” She asked in anger suddenly.

“Ulquiorra Schiffer.” He said only staring.

“Why have you taken me?” His former queen inquired.

“It has come to my attention that Aizen-sama stole you away. You were my ruler at one time and I your general.” He said calmly.

Asuna looked confused and she stared at his face closely.

“Ataru.” She said suddenly.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“I was Ayana and you were Ataru.” She said breathing hard.

“Hai. You were Ayana the Great.” He said taking his elegant white hands from his pockets.

“What are you now?” She asked horrified.

“I was killed right before you were. I became a hollow as my death was tragic and left my soul in anguish.” He answered honestly.

“Angry souls become hollows?” Asuna demanded softly as she neared him.

“Hai. Tenma did not. He became reborn.” He said flatly.

“Who?” She asked surprised.

“Rishou.” He dead panned.

“My son?” She asked dropping her jaw.

“Hai. I was a distant cousin through Asa. You were my queen and I followed you faithfully.” He acknowledged.

“So why take me now?” Asuna asked searching his face.

“Aizen-sama should not have taken you.” Ulquiorra said shrugging.

“Okay. I get that he is no friend of mine.” She nodded.

“Did he touch you?” He asked looking past her.

She found his manners unnerving and he was suddenly in her face. He moved so fast that it was disconcerting. His cold hand came to clutch her chin lightly. She felt no malice in him and in fact she knew from distant memories how well he did serve her in his previous life.

“You were my queen.” He repeated.

“He lied to me and told me he was a friend.” She admitted with a blush.

“You used to order me to procure your lovers.” He stated flatly.

“Did I?” She asked turning redder.

“Hai.” Again he shrugged.

“Why would I ask that of you?” Asuna asked mortified.

“Because you knew to trust me. I protected you. I loved you.” He said calmly.

“Did you feel for me beyond family?” She inquired breathing harder.

“Hai but I was your servant first. You could have asked that of me.” He said softly.

“Oh.” She blushed crimson.

“You are still great but have forgotten. I do not like the hanyou or the brother. I dislike Gaku Jouichi for mating that whore.” He said lifting his hand to her cheek and tracing her stripes.

“You helped to build the empire and you know it fell apart. Please do not blame Naraku and Ishin for that. They could not stop it. The ookami kumo were too numerous and overwhelmed them.” She replied.

“They were fools. You would have held it together. The ningen are trash.” He said tracing her mouth.

“Ulquiorra?” She asked stunned.

“Hai?” He asked not looking at her.

“You are too cold.” Asuna said gasping softly.

“Then please warm me.” He said meeting her eyes.

“Why now?” She asked breathlessly.

“I will not have enough care tomorrow.” Ulquiorra said benignly.

She thought she understood but he pulled her forward. His green eyes stared at her and she gasped softly as one hand undid his jacket. His pale chest was perfection but he bore a hole and a number four tattoo.

“You and Naraku do not like one another.” She gasped.

“No. I will never approve the hanyou. Ayana is too good for such a beast.” He said palming her cheek.

His lips crushed hers and she groaned suddenly. Never in a million years did he think she would taste this good. He appeared lifeless and without passion but he loved physicality. It provided much and his tongue slipped into her mouth to caress hers. She was shocked that his lifeless demeanor could be so passionate. He was consuming and his body was pressed against hers. Ulquiorra released her and she was breathing in hard. Ulquiorra put his hands in his pockets and she was staring at his chest.

“Can you?” She asked.

“Copulate?” The Fourth asked.

“I guess.” Asuna wanted to be mortified.

“Hai. It is an activity that I find pleasing.” He stated.

“I see.” She blushed prettily.

She was suddenly on her back on the sand and he was over her. His black hair was shaggy and she lifted a hand to touch it. It was so soft and his eyes followed her movements. He said nothing as he lowered his mouth to hers again. The Arrancar was sensual she realized and he expertly removed her long black silk dress. His eyes were half mast as his hands moved up and down her side.

“Oh Kami! What am I doing?” She asked.

“Making me warm.” He said flatly.

Asuna realized he made a joke and she busted out laughing. It stopped when she felt him enter her. She stared at his face and the passion was suddenly opened. His face contorted and Asuna was confused more. His lips descended on hers once again and he kissed her with such fervor. She knew this man she realized and he was loyal, shrewd, and powerful. He was also opinionated, arrogant, and possessive. He whispered soft and passionate things that made her stomach flutter. He also felt so good she realized and she cried out loudly. Ulquiorra was enraptured and he felt deep within himself that he should have done this long ago. He had adored Ayana immensely and loved her fiercely but he had done everything she had ever stated. Now he was of a mind to make a small claim.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He had returned her without a word and she was quite dizzy. Even though she did not know him this life; she did remember him from her kumo one. She knew he had been real and she blushed as she stared in the mirror. Naraku was still on the phone and she heard him yelling about Eyal. That caught her attention and she frowned. She ported out and appeared in Buda. She did not recognize this modern place and she had felt her uppyr mate. He apparently felt her too and he rushed into the room she was in. He looked disheveled and he made a cry of despair.

“I am so sorry.” He said in a pained tone.

“Why?” Asuna asked in confused voice.

She watched him become a mess and he raked his hand through his hair. Eyal turned away and actually let out a broken sob.

“It is because of me that you suffer. I am sorry. I am so sorry. Asuna.” He cried out as he made his way to his desk.

“What happened Eyal?” She asked walking closer.

“Do not come near me.” He shouted at her.

“Why? Why should I not come to my husband?” She asked putting a hand on his shoulder.

“Because! Go away! You have made your choices and I seem to not be one of them.” He said in bitter anger

“You yell and shout but I do not remember. You could help me.” Asuna said putting a trembling hand on his shoulder.

Eyal barked out in a bitter laugh and he looked over his shoulder at her.

“You left me as Akana and now you leave me again. I am tired. I am sick to my inner soul and I cannot keep being the last on your list. Go away. I hurt you and I will never do so again.” He growled out in despair.

She was suddenly angry and she made him look at her. His eyes were red and she held his face. His pale skin was under toned by formerly richly tanned flesh and she suddenly ripped open his modern white button shirt. His black hair was cut short in a modern shaggy style. He did not have his beard now and she searched his beautiful, soulful brown eyes. She leaned forward and laved her tongue along his male peak and he snarled out in anger. Asuna could only think of tasting him and refusing to be put off by his anger. He gasped as she began to attack his nub ruthlessly and he moaned out suddenly.

“Stop.” He whined out hoarsely.

She was not stopping and her hand went to his black trousers. She undid the buckle and let down the zipper as she came in contact with his black silk boxer under garments. Asuna refused to stop and she intended to find out what memories were locked away. His body was tense and he refused to lay a hand on her at all as she tortured him carnally. She ran a finger over the silk and she felt him tremble a little.

“I said stop.” He rasped out harshly.

“No.” She snapped.

“I am not your whore. I barely register to you anymore and you bed those fucking Shouten.” He said coldly.

“I cannot remember Eyal!” Asuna cried.

“You truly have no memory of Maec and all the others?” He demanded.

“I know Lei Jing. He swears I am married to him but I do not know him beyond an enemy.” She said desperately.

“Leave. I refuse to take advantage of you.” He said choked up.

“No! Hell no! No! No! No! No!” She snarled in a mantra.

She ripped his boxers and she moved to pin him. Asuna lips wrapped around a testicle and he was frozen to his spot. His wife began to use her tongue to trace along the nodule and he rasped out suddenly. She was suddenly very intoxicated and she could smell him. She suckled it and rolled it in her mouth and Eyal's voice cracked badly.

“Asuna. God woman! Why do this?” He asked gasping as shocks of raw lust and pleasure shot through his groin to his brain.

She used the tip of her tongue and he yelped out as his claws scraped the wood of his oak desk.

“I said stop!” He groaned out.

-Make me! - She snarled in his head.

She let his testicle go and she began to lick at his head. Eyal's head fell back and he remembered when they had mated. Her hand wrapped around his member and his eyes widened. His cries left his lips in sharp cries as she used the tip of tongue to dig a little at his slit. The uppyr ruler was breathing so hard as she kept him in her mouth and her other hand palmed his testicles. Asuna then took to lightly nipping and tasting along his whole length. His whole body trembled harder and harder as she did her will.

“Asuna! Oh God. Do not!” He said shuddering.

She looked up at him and anger took her. She bared her fangs and she sank them into his femoral artery. The intense euphoria shook him and his body shook violently as she fed. His cock twitched as he held onto his desk and the eruption took him hard.

“You will not take yourself from me Eyal. I will not allow it.” She said slowly standing.

“I hurt you.” He said with a shaky voice.

“I cannot remember it but perhaps you did. If I hurt you then I did not mean to. If you feel that I betrayed you then I shall endeavor to make it up to you.” Asuna whispered.

A raspy cry escaped his throat and he stared at her as she let her telekinesis loose on him. His face crumpled and she stood in front of him.

“I need you.” Eyal begged.

“You do?” She asked softly.

“Da! I feel so full. Asuna please!” He yelped out.

She undid the gown and stepped back. She settled on the floor and boldly opened her thighs to him. He worked his pants down and kicked off his shoes. Eyal felt out of control and he felt in such need. The strength of her mental abilities was staggering and stabs of powerful pleasure washed through him. He sheathed himself deeply within her as his lips met hers eagerly. He realized that he was indeed out of control and he unintentionally battered her tongue in his quest to quench the need she had raised in him. She whimpered under him and moaned loudly.

“I…Asuna…sorry.” He cried out as she met his thrusts.

“Only if you forgive me.” Asuna sighed in a passionate groan.

He ended up sinking his fangs into her neck several times and he was bordering on pass out. Things quivered and heat consumed him as he drank in her life. The explosion rocked them both and his shout was wrenching in the intensity. He gasped in and out as the force of their heavens left him weak. Eyal kissed her face all over and he just finally passed out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naraku was furious. She was gone and no note; nothing. He was ranting badly and Masanori just calmly listened as the hanyou ground on his nerves. She had no memory of her current life and only her past one. She would only go where she remembered and he wanted to tell the hanyou to shut up. He stood up and he paced. He lifted his chin and he knew she would seek answers. He had come to know her very well. He did not refer to her as his best friend for just any reason. He produced a shoki cloud and he deduced that she went to the uppyr. He was correct and he blushed as he saw her tangled up in a bed with the infamous Vlad Tepest. The uppyr groggily came awake and he saw a spider he did not know.

“Asuna?” He whispered.

“Huh?” His wife mumbled.

“There is a spider here.” Eyal mumbled in a sleepy haze.

“I am so sorry to bother you.” Masanori said bowing.

Asuna narrowed her eyes and she had a flash of him.

“I know you!” Asuna cried softly.

“Hai.” He nodded gently.

“Spider who are you?” Her uppyr mate asked.

“Imai Masanori. I am a good friend of Lady Asuna and Naraku.” He said bowing.

“Okay. I am in need of a bath.” The other man said slipping from the bed.

Eyal slipped from the bed and the kumo had averted his eyes. Asuna leaned forward and searched his face and he was discomfited by the close perusal.

“I know you.” She whispered again.

“Hai. I do not wish to upset you but Naraku is freaking. He is very protective of you right now my lady.” He said softly.

“How do I know you?” She whispered softly as she reached a hand through his hair.

His multi-toned hair was soft to the touch and cut short in a modern style. She had flashes of him with longer hair and his eyes were watching her.

“I have seen your true form.” Asuna stated touching his cheek.

“Hai. Lady Asuna. You have amnesia and I know this is difficult but your mate is only trying to protect you.” He said gently.

“You too. You bear my mark.” She said moving the collar of his shirt.

“Hai. I want you to remember but it is a long story.” He said affected by her gentle touches.

“You have held me to your body in your true form.” She said staring at nothing.

“Hai.” He blushed.

“Something about a yukata?” She asked confused.

“Oh Asuna.” He chuckled.

“What?” She asked quizzically.

“We argued over a yukata years ago for me. I was a loner and you found me in the southern islands. You are infectious and I learned to like you. Naraku found me and made me his friend.” He shrugged.

“You like me?” Asuna asked searching his face.

“I love you deeply.” Masanori acknowledged.

“Kiss me.” She commanded.

He was surprised and he leaned forward. She caught his lips and he groaned. Her brain was telling her she knew this man very well. He seemed so familiar and she felt safe around him. Masanori was surprised when he was suddenly under her.

“Tell me about us.” His lover and best friend demanded.

“You know everything about me and I know everything about you. You are absolutely my best friend as well as Naraku.” He said breathing in.

“So I took my best friend?” She asked him staring down at him.

“You became pregnant with my child by accident.” He admitted.

“I did!” She said with widened eyes.

“Hai. Do you remember?” He asked her surprised.

“Naraku was not himself. I came to you and we made love. You were upset. You are Airi's grandson!” She said meeting his eyes.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“Kenta is your brother.” Asuna stated as if reading it.

He nodded and she stared at his face.

“I do know you.” She said kissing him along his neck.

“Asuna, I am not adverse to this but this is not our bed.” He said blushing.

“So?” She asked smiling down at him.

“Inu we cannot do that here!” He protested.

Her smile caught him off guard and he knew she was having some memories.

“What are you remembering?” He asked.

“A fight I think but we made up so sweetly.” She said staring at his dark grey eyes.

“The yukata. That was huge for us. I still have it by the way.” He said feeling a little bit of relief.

“Good. I should shower you with gifts and force you to fight me each time.” She said as if serious.

He smiled widely and Eyal was in the doorway. Relief washed through him that she was remembering something but guilt ate at him about the why. He had truly looked forward to the idea of another child. He had wanted another girl. He missed his Rina as a baby and the pain he had put her through made him feel such terrible pain himself. Asuna looked over her shoulder at him and he turned away. Eyal was pulling away and she was now determined to remember. She was having very vague memories and she allowed Masanori up.

“Tell Naraku I shall return and soon. Tell him I am remembering a little. I shall see you see kumo.” She smiled softly.

“Okay.” He nodded.

Masanori made his shoki cloud appear and he stood up. The ookami kumo walked through and he appeared back in the apartment he shared with the hanyou. He screwed up his courage and went to find his friend.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They had argued and she had left. Now she sat in the apartment and Naraku had snarled and yelled at her. Asuna rolled her eyes and she looked over at Nobu and he burst out laughing. She looked mischievous and Naraku realized mentally she was younger then her five centuries. She made faces at the back of his head and he yelled.

“I am going home to the West and I am going to hunt. You can worry over my mental condition later.” Asuna said standing.

“Inu!” He roared.

“Buh bye!” She grinned as she ported out.

“You should have told her to stop!” Naraku hissed at Nobu.

“She was referring to you as Chichi Naraku.” The healer said smirking.

“Oh that is just great Nobu! Encourage her!” He yelled.

“Sorry.” He said smirking.

Naraku was fed up. His mate was acting like a much younger version of herself and it was making him crazy. She did not know how to invoke half her yoki and she could not even remember half her life. He growled in utter frustration and wanted to kill something.

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

She had hunted and now she was on her back and panting. She had chased down a big deer and it had been so good. She felt the Arrancar again and she rolled to stare at him. He stood there with his hands in his pockets and Asuna changed form. She was on her side and he just said nothing.

“I feel conflicting auras.” She said bluntly.

“My kumo mother was raped by a filthy kumori. I was unusual and could change form twice.” Ulquiorra replied flatly.

“Why did you not say anything to me?” Asuna asked.

“I was kumo in heart. I preferred that life and that form.” He admitted.

“You must have been loyal to your mother.” She said watching him as he neared her.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“So why have you come here?” She inquired.

“I have a wish to converse.” He answered.

“About?” Asuna asked staring up.

“Perhaps you can shed your clothes.” He suggested without emotion.

“Really?” She asked.

“Hai.” He murmured as his emerald eyes took her in.

“You are involved with my children. Why would you do this?” She demanded.

“One lifetime too late.” He said kneeling.

His pale hand separated her kimono style shirt and she had not bothered with a breast binding. His eyes only blinked as he stared at her and his fingertips began to graze a tip. She breathed deeply and his eyes wandered the column of her throat.

“You have an agenda Arrancar and until I can regain my memory; I am not playing.” She said firmly.

“As my queen commands.” Ulquiorra said bowing his head.

He did lean down and wrapped his cold lips around her nipple and she shut her eyes a moment. He suckled and then let go. She opened her eyes and he was gone. His bold and brazen style made her shiver in many nice ways but she knew from her shadowy memories that he was quite notorious for being secretive and having many agendas. He was way too intelligent and his unusual parentage made him a powerful foe or ally. She closed her shirt and she stood up to look around and try to jog more memories. She was wandering wistfully around the grounds outside of the Western Palace. She heard a noise and she saw something. She looked around and without warning an arm went around her waist. She snarled wildly and the voice tried to calm her.

“Isha stop it!” The male voice said flatly.

“Who?” She growled.

“You! I know you do not remember right now but I cannot wait around for you to get yourself killed. Lei is a mess and I am no better.” He snapped.

She turned around to see a blue eyed being. She narrowed her eyes and he snorted.

“Damn it! You do not recognize me at all? Well we have a child Isha! We have an infant daughter who needs her mother to remember her and me.” He said coldly.

“I am sorry that I do not. You are a Shouten!” She snapped.

“Yes! I am half Shouten! I am also half incubus and I am one of your lovers. Now if Sanra gets a hold of this or another one of your enemies then you are fucked.” He snapped in return.

“You offend me.” She said crossing her arms.

“You are a bitch!” Admal said in disbelief.

“Until I remember you then stay away from me.” She growled.

“What of our daughter?” He demanded.

“You say she is our daughter but there is no proof. Now leave!” Asuna said sternly.

“Why would I lie about you giving me a child?” He asked in anger.

“No idea but I cannot stand Shouten and I most certainly do not remember you right now. Do not make me mad.” She said walking away from him.

“I will leave you alone for now but I have to shadow you. I have to or else.” He said stepping back and phasing out.

She was certainly not thrilled with the idea of herself having given herself to Lei Jing of all people. The idea turned her stomach and she wondered. She ported back to Naraku and she paced back and forth.

“Jing. I want to meet with him.” She said calmly.

“Are you certain?” Naraku asked.

“Hai. I am told I have this marriage or something with him and the last I heard; he was involved exclusively with men.” She said rolling her eyes.

“I shall retrieve him. He has been calling non stop.” He said rolling his eyes.

Asuna waited as Naraku ported via his miasma and within a few minutes, Lei Jing appeared. He looked worried and distressed as hell. Naraku bowed and left the room. Lei put up his hands and then dropped them when she stepped back.

“You tell me that we are married and so do several others. I have to believe Naraku but why would I marry my enemy?” She demanded.

“Because I am not your enemy.” Lei said flatly.

“Oh you did not stab me in the heart in the Sengoku Jidai?” Asuna asked with an angry voice.

“I did but that was before we knew the truth.” He cried.

“What is the truth Jing? Did you or did you not attack me?” She demanded in rising anger.

“I did but I thought you killed my sister. It turns out you killed someone else who was posing as my sister. I am sorry. I am so sorry but Asuna, I love you.” He said trying to near her.

“Stay the fuck away from me!” She snarled.

“No! You are my wife. I need my wife. Lifen, Shen, and Yunru need their mother!” He said in anger.

“Why in the hell would I give you children? You love men do you not?” She said getting closer to his face and growling.

He grabbed her and suddenly kissed her passionately and pulled her to him tightly and she snarled wildly in his arms. Asuna jerked away from him and slapped him silly.

“You are my wife! I can show you memories if you allow me!” He cried.

“I do not want them. You hurt me. You bastard! I have no clue how I could trust you.” She said trying to storm past him.

“Maec's son killed two of your babes. I came to tell you. You and Hanaj were tied but you thought he betrayed you. You demanded I give myself to you to separate him from you. I have loved you for over six years. I have given you my heart and my soul. We are bound.” Lei snarled out.

“I figured the only way you could get it up was to rape an onna!” She said snidely.

“I did not rape you. You showed up that day in the past and I wanted you but I also hated you too. I did get it up with you.” He said coldly.

Lei was in disbelief and this rage he was seeing was the old her. The old pain and mistrust that Sanra had cultivated was being shown and he refused to succumb. He grabbed her around her waist and he breathed in her ear. She was growling low in her throat and he was getting upset.

“I love you.” He whispered fiercely.

“Why? I cannot see how. I would see you dead.” She said shaking in utter rage.

“By the Gods Asuna! Damn it all! Let me show you the truth. Let me attempt to jog your memories. I love you. I fucking love you and worship the ground you walk on.” He said emotionally.

“I hate you.” She snarled out trying to get away from him.

His heart was not handling her angry words very well and she jerked away from him. Asuna turned to stare at him and she saw a single bloody tear fall down his perfect cheek and she was bothered by it.

“How can you forget what we shared?” He asked in a raw voice.

“How could I marry my worst enemy?” She asked.

“I am not your worst enemy. Sanra tr'Awnhi is and any other ekimmu who has it out for you that day. I fell in love with you.” He said wiping away the tear in annoyance.

Lei could not take her anger and he kept telling himself that she could not remember. He went to walk by her and he pressed his lips to her cheek. She flinched and it pissed him off. The fact that she detested his touch made him see red. Lei pulled her forward and he began to kiss her deeply and passionately. He had caught her off guard. She struggled badly for a moment then she began to whimper loudly as he swept his tongue into her heat. Asuna became molten as this creature made love to her with his lips and she felt all manner of lust and passion course through her. Asuna had a sudden flash of him on his back and she was taking him with her mouth and making him beg wildly. Her mind turned over the image and he felt it. Lei encouraged more as his hands tangled in her hair. Her toes actually curled as he released her mouth. He was breathing hard against her mouth and she was breathing hard too.

“Show me.” She asked in a strangled tone.

“Are you sure? We have had much happen. I am not shy Asuna. We have been wild and intimate with one another and others.” Lei admitted.

“I am seeing you under me as I pleasure you. You are begging me to let you release. You are calling me evil and insane little bitch. You scream out as you finally do climax, you yell to your Gods.” She whispered.

“You are seeing the time you made me bind to you.” He said whispering harder.

“You tell me that you hate me.” Asuna growled softly.

“I did but not anymore.” He groaned softly.

“I am seeing you with another man.” She said looking at him.

He blushed a little and he could see her mind. She was seeing Admal and she turned red in the face.

“I encourage it.” She stated staring at him.

“Sometimes yes.” Lei nodded.

“He is beautiful but he is also in love with me.” She stated staring at him.

Lei nodded and he pressed his forehead to hers. He was getting uncomfortable in his own skin and his wife actually reached up to hold his cheeks.

“Show me I think.” She stated in a weak voice.

“Really?” He asked hopeful.

“Hai.” She nodded.

“My love, you have yoki locked away right now and you need it. You need to remember so much because you have little ones that are crying for their Haha.” He said gripping her.

“Who else am I forgetting?” She asked astonished.

“A lot.” He said softly.

Asuna felt overwhelmed and she nodded. Naraku stood in the door and he nodded to Lei. The Shouten had been able to reach her and he only held her tightly. He knew the young Jing heir loved her passionately and Naraku wondered if they could jog a few memories. He stepped in and he jerked her to him. At first Lei was annoyed but he watched as the gorgeous halfling began to turn their mate to mush. He typically adored the hanyou and he saw him pushing her towards the bed.

“You going to join us Lei?” He asked flatly.

“Yes.” Lei nodded enthusiastically.

Asuna had no time to say no or anything else. Lei had phased her clothes right off of her and Naraku had guided her back on the bed. Lei lowered his lips to her center and Naraku wrapped his lips around an areola. He also used his hands and she began to yelp out in a crazed way immediately. Both men ravished her with need and a mission to get her to remember. They had her screaming out of her mind quickly and she was assaulted with memories. They were cracking slowly through the hold on her mind and she ended up screaming both of their names.

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

He held her to him and the reconnection was awesome. She leaned on him so much and Lei was much more secure now. She still did not remember every little thing but she did remember them mating and binding. She did remember some rather risquÃ© times and Lei teased her that he was her accomplice. She was horrified but she liked him. She really liked him and she realized with utter surprise that she loved him too. Lei blinked his black eyes and deep emotions were reflected. Now she slept between Naraku and Lei and it was really good. Lei got up and he stretched as his belly let him now it was time to hunt. Asuna looked at him and he smiled at her softly.

“Need food beloved. You taste yummy as hell but it is no good for your puppy if I feed too much from you.” He said kissing her belly.

“Pup Lei. It is a pup.” She corrected him.

He chuckled and he threw on his clothes. He phased to Admal and the tr'Awnhi prince was irritated and angry.

“She has a memory of you and me.” He said nearing him.

“Does she? How grand! Why not make her remember you idiots!” Admal snapped.

“Oh shut up Admal and feed me.” Lei growled.

Admal automatically turned his head and shut his eyes. He was mad that Lei got to be remembered and the bastard who had harmed her but not him. Jealousy ate at him and he wanted to rip apart something.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sanra was gleeful. She had heard a rumor that her enemy had amnesia. She laughed and laughed over that one. She also knew her delicious brother would expect her to make a move against her. She decided to make a move against him. Sanra thought about taking the empusae's appearance but decided against it. She appeared in Balkhash and it was deep night. The palace had a small buzz about it and Raganos still had not found his way back from wherever the bastard shinigami had sent him. It intrigued her about that creature but she was too close to finding something too important to worry on Aizen at the moment. Maec was up and writing furiously. It seemed he was using the alchemic ways of the fucking ekimmu again and she smirked. She had driven him back to his old ways way too soon. Maec's soul was beautiful but a tad dark. He had power seeping from him but he also had the need for normalcy. She hated it with a passion. She had remembered the first time she had touched him. His innocence had inflamed her then. Then his dark and passionate nature made her inflamed.

Maec stiffened when he felt the brushes against his flesh and she had turned up. He was surprised she had come after him and not Isha. He snarled and she husked in his ear.

“Miss me?” She asked in a lilting tone.

“Like I would miss a fever or illness.” Maec retorted.

“Poor Maec. You have been infected with that whore's light. She really is a goodie goodie you know. How long have you known about our baby brother and his desire for her flesh?” Sanra asked.

“The whole time. I encouraged it you stupid cunt. Admal is loyal to me and therefore he keeps her busy with my interests.” He retorted.

“How sly and very like your old self.” She raged.

“It really pissed you off that you could never defile him or Hasam.” He said in a cruel smile.

“Hasam was a gentle soul you idiot. He would have broken too easily. Admal well. He would have been a grand time. Maybe a better fuck then you?” She retorted in hate.

“Maybe.” He hissed as he backhanded her.

Sanra was thrown backwards and he stood up casually. She grinned at him and he hated her. He hated her so much.

“You did not hate it when I made you come or when father would fuck me instead of you.” She said growling.

“Oh yes sister you did that for my benefit.” Maec scoffed.

“I did!” Sanra hissed.

“I am certain you enjoyed his demented love of your ass sister. You had no need to fend him off. I am certain you encouraged it.” He said picking up a vial.

She eyed him with caution and she wanted him. Suddenly she moved and phased and Maec dropped the vial on the bed. She had a hand on his crotch and he yelled out.

“You forget yourself little brother. I used to make you beg. I used to make you demand to spill your seed deep.” She purred in his ear.

“You stupid bitch!” He said hitting her evil, beautiful face.

Blood erupted from her nose and she laughed wildly. Maec threw her through his best post and the canopy crashed down. He hated her touch and the idea of being touched by her made his skin crawl. He knew deep in his heart that Renshu was innocent but he had no care for the boy. He had done nothing wrong but Sanra had. Maec began to strangle her and she loved it. He knew she loved the violence.

“Father used to do this. He used to strangle me too. Try and make me dead Maec. Tell me how much you hate me!” Sanra screamed.

Maec tried to crush her windpipe and she laughed wildly. Tears sprung to her eyes and she phased his rich clothes away. He snarled and she grabbed him roughly.

“See Maec? See how hard I can still make you?” She said in joy.

“Physical response is nothing Sanra.” He snarled.

He had the vial and he forcefully smashed it against her mouth. She shrieked in sudden agony and she recognized the blood of the basilisk. She was gasping for breath and acid like burning began in her throat. She screamed out and putrid smelling blood erupted from her throat. Maec scrambled back and watched in fascination as the blood did her harm. He was gleeful and she stared at him in rage. Her face took on that skeletal look and Maec dove for a dressing gown.

“You bastard!” She screamed as she clawed at her throat.

“You seriously think I would allow you to touch my person again Sanra?” He asked in hate.

“You were so much less preachy before her. You should have let me purge you!” She said as her skin hung limply from around her throat.

“Which ekimmu do you give yourself to Sanra?” He demanded.

“Father! I give myself to Father you stupid fuck! He will return and he is pleased with his little girl again. He hates you and her. He hates you both.” Sanra said in a crazed tone.

“I did not kill him really did I?” Maec asked in realization.

“No. I helped you to banish him. How do you kill a God?” She laughed in a sickening voice that echoed.

“He was no god!” He snarled.

“Our father is an ekimmu you stupid bastard. Why do you think so many of us are so powerful? Why do you think you sought that stupid little whore? He and Ayille were such good friends.” She said in a lunatic fringe.

Maec was getting ancient history and his sister was loosing her mind to the basilisk blood. He tried to keep her talking but she phased out before he could try to get more information. His eyes were wide and if she was correct then his own assumptions about much were wrong. Ganek was not dead and he must be trying to return. She must have realized when she had lost control of him then she needed another way. His sister was truly twisted and she knew the Shouten would never allow a woman to rule but she was trying to rule through him or his father. He grew panicked and he phased into Tokyo. Admal was sleeping on the couch and he looked at his elder sibling.

“Sanra showed herself.” He said breathing hard.

“You do not seem worse for wear.” Admal yawned.

“Brother! Get rid of your food.” Maec snarled at him.

“Yes father.” The younger man said in a grumpy tone.

Admal phased the dead human away and Maec was pacing.

“Raganos is still gone and maybe he will stay that way.” His brother said concerned.

“Probably not but it has given you the edge in taking back control.” His blue eyed sibling said.

“Yes. She indicated that Father was an ekimmu and not Shouten.” He said flatly.

“Maec, I do not know. How could I?” Admal demanded.

“I think perhaps our sire had become a hybrid like she has. Dear Gods Admal. When she is gravely injured you can see what she has done to herself.” He shuddered.

“You gravely injured her?” He asked very interested.

“Yes. Isha had brought back some basilisk's blood that was unusual. I made a potion and it degraded her ability to keep her shape.” He said looking at his youngest sibling.

“Speaking of Isha. She still can barely remember anything.” He griped.

“We shall have to attempt to make her remember faster. I wish to see your daughter.” Maec said flatly.

All color fled Admal's face and his brother raised a brow.

“I am the Shouten king. Do you seriously think that there is anything you do I do not know about? I am no idiot Admal. I allowed you to see her and often.” He said crossing his arms.

“It was not…” He tried to say.

“Isha is one of us. I think this with my whole heart and her Shouten babes are by far her most powerful. You are loyal to me are you not?” Maec demanded.

“Yes of course.” Admal nodded.

“Then continue your course. Do not act like I am a fool Admal. I raised you.” His elder sibling said growling.

Maec followed Admal and he was introduced to his niece. She was lovely and simmered in power as he expected. His mind was on how in the hell he was going to jog Isha's memories. He sighed as they chatted and his mind was humming.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Things had not gone well at all and his mind was not settling. His access to her was severely limited and he knew about where she was. Aizen decided to fight her and let it go. He wanted to see if she could invoke her yoki and he made a garganta appear in Korea. He stepped out and his elegant brown head looked around the landscape. She did appear and she looked pissed off.

“You bastard! I have since learned what a conniving son of a whore you are. How very well played scum.” She said in anger.

“I did not feign the attraction. Your anger only makes me desire to plunder your depths once more.” Aizen said smirking.

“You really have no clue how many people hate your guts.” Asuna said suddenly allowing Konkisaiga to appear.

“I have a good idea I assure you.” He said with a feral gleam in his unholy eyes.

They began to fight and it was quick as they both moved. Aizen used his typical speed and avoidance. He did not want to damage her but she was thrown backwards by something. She smashed through a tree and she gasped in shock. Images of something other then her life assaulted her and she was swarmed by so many. She was held down and fed from by so many of her own that she screamed. She saw those eyes and the smirk on the man's face as she lay there dying. She was gasping in deep breaths as the terror she felt was so very real.

“I tried to give you what you needed!” Arianrhod cried.

“And yet here you are. Please know I shall enjoy stealing your powers lady.” The man grinned in a feral way.

“No!” She said in a last ditch effort.

Pain that she had never felt or suffered assaulted her every nerve and she drove her hand to touch this beast. The very night itself attacked him and he snarled and screamed. The holiest of lights burned his sight straight from him and his eyes went white. She heard Gwydion and he was screaming. He was screaming in agony and she was giving her last ditch effort to save him. She felt herself hauled up and she stared up at the blue eyes of the only man who had ever truly known her fully.

“Arianrhod! No! My love. No. You cannot die. You are a goddess! No!” He wept bloody tears.

“Silly Gwydion. We are not Gods. Take care of our sons.” She rasped out as the pain of the young ones betrayals stung her.

“Arianrhod! Arianrhod!” He screamed into her neck.

Her white-silver hair was stained red and her hand was limp. It had taken many, many infants to bring her down and they had. He wept bitterly into her dead form and she had killed her main attacker. The other ekimmu lay dying near him and he reached over and finished off their enemy. Gwydion truly felt as though his life was over and he looked around. His sons were not here. His boys were gone as well and he wept till he just lay beside the lifeless form of the only woman he would ever love.

“BilÄ—!” She yelled out.

Aizen stared at her and she was shaking in hatred. Suddenly she was mentally crushed under the floodgate of much and more.

“You bastard! You fucking bastard.” Asuna growled as she looked up.

Her eyes were green and he was astonished. She let her fang recede and he watched in surprise as her yoki began to grow around her hands. She let loose nami after nami that was infused with a different energy. It caused him to shrink back in pain and she was narrowing her eyes.

“You think to take me on now? I should have listened and destroyed you before!” She said coming at him.

Aizen was gone and her chest heaved. She ported to Stonehenge and she was under the influence of ancient memories.

“Gwydion!” She screamed in a soul wrenching cry.

He appeared from the stones and he looked confused. He stared at her hands and his jaw dropped. She marched near him and jerked him to her. She attacked his mouth and he groaned. She was in a state and he was utterly confounded how she kissed him. She was crying and kissing his lips, face, and neck.

“What has happened?” He asked shocked.

“Our boys? Where are our boys?” She asked in horror.

“Arianrhod?” Gwydion asked surprised lacing his voice.

“They killed them! They killed our sons? They killed them?” She asked in anguish.

“Who are you?” he demanded with shaking hands.

“I do not know. Who am I now? Why are you here? Who has done this to you?” She demanded.

“I am trapped. I cannot leave.” He said in bitterness.

“BilÄ—? He has somehow found a way back.” She said in a furious voice.

“Arianrhod listen to me!” He tried to say.

“Something is blocking me. I cannot pull on my full energies. Who is she?” She demanded staring at her hands.

“You! She is you now.” Gwydion said trembling.

“An infant? I am a fucking infant?” She asked in fury.

“Sister stop!” He cried.

“They did this to you! They will suffer! I will kill them.” She screamed.

“Arianrhod damn it listen to me!” He said clutching her.

“You defend them?” She asked him and she was furious.

“No of course not but much is different. The infants are powerful and many of us who did die have been reborn. You included.” He said shaking her.

“I am locked away. They did this to you!” She said shrieking.

Whatever had unlocked her memories was fading and she fainted fast. Gwydion held onto her and she was as if in a death sleep. To hear her voice and her to mention their enemy. He actually wept softly as he held her body. Gwydion held her as she came to slowly and she stared up at his eyes.

“I am here?” She asked softly.

“Yes.” He said with tenderness in his voice.

“I was her.” Asuna said in a weak voice.

“Yes. I told you that you had been.” He smiled sadly.

“I remember a little. Where are the boys?” She asked softly.

“Dead. They died a very long time ago.” He said holding her to him and weeping bitterly.

“His soul was torn to pieces. He is trying to get back whole. He is angry that we killed him.” She whispered.

“As if I care?” He growled.

“You will care if he reforms and comes against us yet again.” She said growling back.

“What can I do? I am here!” Gwydion yelled.

“Not for long. If I open Terre de Brume, I risk letting out the others.” Asuna replied in a quiet tone.

“What should I do? Waste away here?” He demanded.

“No but there are others that will want revenge. They will want revenge for being imprisoned. I allowed them to rise against us.” She said in shame.

“How much do you remember?” He asked astonished.

“Quite a bit apparently. Make no mistake Gwydion and I may have been her but I have lived since then.” Asuna said softly.

“I know. I know but I still love you. I still need you.” He said holding her.

“Hai. I know too. Somehow I know you and I were at one time one soul.” She replied.

“Yes.” He nodded.

She kissed him and he held onto her with desperation and despair. She remembered quite a bit and he choked when he saw her mind. She had seen the end and he wept with such pain. He kissed her forehead and he intended to let her leave but she shed his clothes slowly. She did not care if his flesh was cold and she swore he would be hot again. She swore he would feel such tremendous heat course through him. She took him in the circle and he was gasping in and out and she made him feel things that only she could. Gwydion was lost in her and his face was covered with dried tears. Asuna realized how much she did feel for this creature and she kissed him softly.

“Gwydion.” She whispered out as she nuzzled his neck.

“Yes?” He asked dizzy.

“I love you.” She whispered in his ear.

“I love you more.” Gwydion said in a soft sigh.

“I need to go. I have to find Math. He knows a little too.” She said and then sank her fangs in.

She drank his powerful blood and he was in raptures. Her bite had always been pleasant but the added dimension of her empusae part made it euphoria.

“Go back and try to rally a few to our side. I shall get Annka on it too.” She commanded.

“Yes.” He nodded.

She again kissed him and he stared at her. He cried out and she looked at him funny.

“Your eyes.” He said in shock.

“What?” She asked frowning.

“Go! Do you remember everything?” He asked getting dressed.

“Hai. I have a couple of husbands to knock around.” She said crossing her arms.

“Good!” Gwydion said softly.

She watched him dissolve and she ported to Romania. Eyal was in his bed and he was reading. He looked up and stared at her.

“What in the hell did you do to yourself?” He asked stunned.

“You asshole need to control your temper!” Asuna growled.

“You remember?” Eyal asked.

“Hai. I also know that you are going to have me on your backside. How dare you! Let me explain something to you Eyal; I am what I am and so are you. Now you can either get over it or learn to actually deal with it. Besides I need you now more then ever.” She said softly and in anger.

“Why is that?” He asked shortly.

“Because your Mother will come after me when she realizes what it is that I remember.” She said undressing.

“Oh? What is it you remember?” He demanded.

“The Ramanga are in league with some members of the Shouten. They also rose up against the ekimmu and your bitch mother helped to kill Arianrhod.” She said.

“You blame the Ramanga?” He asked miffed.

“You are not full Ramanga Eyal. You are also not raised by that flesh eating whore.” She said nearing a mirror.

Her eyes were not brown or amber. They were blue. They were very pale blue and she was shocked. She looked over at Eyal and he was still sitting there watching her.

“Oh my Kamis.” She said stunned.

“I must say that I am not used to it but it is pretty.” He shrugged.

“Aizen and I were fighting.” Asuna murmured.

“Can you forgive me?” He demanded.

“I already have. You should know better Eyal.” She sighed flopping beside him.

“What are your plans now?” The uppyr ruler asked.

“I have to go back. I am certain I know where Sounga may be. I intend to open Terre de Brume.” She said softly.

“What?” He asked stunned.

“Hai. I have to. There are several who are on our side and many who are not. It is not about who is what manner of blood drinker anymore. It is not the infants versus the ekimmu. It is about pure evil and the side of right. Those on the darker side will attempt to take over not only the youkai world but Hueco Mundo and I am certain Soul Society. Those who get in the way will be decimated and that includes the ningen. Do not kid yourself Eyal but war is fixing to break loose. War broke loose thousands upon thousands of years ago but now we know better. Now we will stop them.” She said laying her head on his shoulder.

He truly had no clue and idea of what she spoke. She sighed and her mind had too much going on. She had a feeling that soon; very soon all hell was breaking loose but one thing she was sure of…Aizen was not Ganek's soul but only a small piece. Somehow the thing he had in him had a small bit of the former Shouten king. The thing was that Ganek was only reborn. The true evil lay behind in the past and if he was to remember and if he was to be restored. Asuna had to stop Sanra from doing so and she took the moment to let Eyal know that his actions were forgiven but he too had a role in her life just as much as Maec and the others. Anger of tremendous proportions tore through her and she intended to destroy those that she had initially tried to give freedom to. She had to find Sounga and she had to find it yesterday.
