Walking Amongst the Deadly Roads
She was yet again in a hospital bed and she was yet again hooked up to Hakushin’s blood. Her blue eyes were dull and it was difficult as hell to do this thing. Asuna wanted this pup she realized. She wanted her badly and she was weary.
“Aijou? I only ever hear of you in the hospital nowadays.” Tekeshi said from the door.
“Hello.” She said hoarsely as she lifted a hand.
“Asuna! You look so weak! Onna what is wrong?” He asked coming near her bed.
“A difficult pregnancy is all. Nothing unusual my darling. You look good.” Asuna said smiling.
Even her voice was weak and he was totally horrified. Her eyes were shadowed badly and she was too thin for a pregnant onna. He spent several hours with her and he finally went back to Shenyang. He was visiting with Ang Chi and his grandson was agitated.
“Tell me what is wrong besides your mother’s weakness and this apparently horrible pregnancy.” Tekeshi commanded as he sat down.
“You remember Saint Hakushin? Haha made him immortal long ago and well there are claims that this girl pup is his. No one has seen him but Nobu says it is so.” Ang Chi sighed.
“Good Kamis! Saint Hakushin? He was one of the most powerful holy ningen in Japan’s history!” Tekeshi said shocked.
“Hai. He and Haha have been together on and off for centuries. He never stays and drifts through to help here and there.” He sighed more.
“Good Kamis Chi. I have never seen her this weak.” He said in horror.
“I have. When Lei nearly killed her. She was in such a long death sleep after that episode. Oh! Ichigawa! How are you sir?” Ang Chi asked smiling as his former general came in.
“I came to drop of those land grant reports that you asked for Lord Ang Chi. My Lord Tekeshi.” He said bowing.
“Hello Ichigawa. Serious as ever.” He said smiling.
“Hai sir. Who is weak?” He asked absentmindedly.
“Lady Asuna. She cannot even rise from her bed at the moment.” The older inu replied.
“Why?” Ichigawa asked surprised.
“She is pupped by Saint Hakushin they say.” Ang Chi replied.
“The Saint Hakushin?” The brown inu asked more shocked.
“Hai. She knew him back in the Sengoku Jidai. Anyway, they say he is here running around but Haha is losing the battle to keep the pup.” The Manchu lord stated.
“I see. I hope she recovers. My lords.” The general said bowing.
Tekeshi bowed to him and he had feigned disinterest. He walked slowly to the outer chambers and his heart was beating out of control. Ichigawa wanted to vomit in that he was sick with worry. He made a tenuous decision to see her. He ported to Yamasaki General and he looked around. He scented her out and she was in a private room and she was sleeping. The dark circles under her eyes were sickening to see. She looked as if she was wasting away and youkai were not supposed to look like this. Her nose twitched and she did not open her eyes.
“Go.” She whispered.
“Why are you doing this?” He asked heart sick.
“I did not ask for your attention nor your help. You have made your position clear and I have made my decision. I wronged you and I will not continue to do so. Go be alone. I only sought you out in the past to confirm intelligence but I know now. She is very much wanted and Hakushin loves her. I understand your reasons believe it or not. I think I understand why you have done what you have done. You should never have condescended to me. I do not appreciate the fact that I asked you to fight and you lie so blatantly. You could kill me without a thought. So anyway Ichigawa, I am sleepy.” She said rolling to her side.
“You kill yourself slowly! You think I did not want because I did not wish for a pup? I cannot have what I wish. You are so fucking stubborn onna. You called me a fool.” He said wanting to tear something up.
“I will not succumb and my daughter will be amazing! She will be loved and wanted! She will not be shunned or something dirty. She will stand in the open and I will praise her every day. So leave Ichigawa. I have no use for cowards.” Asuna said snarling at him.
“You mean hearted bitch! I have survived. I learned early on what it was to be something I am not. I am no coward and I try to save that which I care for. You are the one who is so stupid.” Ichigawa said in a hurt tone.
“I have asked nothing of you have I? You asked me to finally leave you alone and I have.” She said flatly.
“You only did so after you made me care!” He shouted at her.
“You are correct. I bullied you. I accept that title. Should you prefer a monetary settlement? I can manage I assure you. I did you ill. I told you that I can own up to my mistakes.” She said reaching for her bag.
“I want no monies from you! I am not one of your kept men.” He snarled.
“You are here to say I told you so? Well do not. You will not be right. I told you I have no use for you. Your wishes have been honored and your status as nothing is preserved. Only four of us know the truth and they will take the secret to their graves. I am really too sleepy for this. Goodbye General Ichigawa; truly it has been my honor knowing you and I humbly beg for forgiveness for the ills I have done you. You did not deserve as such. I am a rotten bitch but I have gotten the best.” She said getting more exhausted.
Ichigawa watched heart sick as she fell back and she was already out before her head hit the pillow. He noticed the bag of blood was done and he was horrified at so many things. He ported out and his chest was heaving. His pup was destroying her body and words from long ago taunted him. He fell back against his wall and slid down slowly. Only a few tears fell and he felt utterly out of control again.

Why he could not stop he did not know. The inu was trembling and he was determined to try and reason with her. She was released from the hospital again and she was in her home in the Western Lands. Asuna was lying in a sun room to soak up some sun and she was surprised as hell to see Ichigawa in the sliding glass door opening.
“I see barriers hold no issue for you.” Asuna commented in a barely audible tone.
“I can make a much stronger one.” Ichigawa mumbled.
“Why are you here?” She asked.
“You are dying. I can see. Hell even Tekeshi can see it.” He said flatly.
“I am not dying. Nobu checks me several times a day. I require blood transfusions often. Did you even know her?” She asked too softly but he heard.
“Hai. I knew her.” He said looking down.
“What was she?” The inu princess asked.
“She was a warrior. She fought youkai and she was in part youkai! I never understand how she could hunt down that which she was in part.” He said in disgust.
“You and she were not close?” Asuna inquired.
“No. I was the product of an arranged mating. She did not honor it anyway. She provided my father an heir and she went on about her life. She was good to those she deemed in need and forgot about her inu son. She was bestowed with power so unlike any miko before or since the Shikon miko. Not even Lady Kagome had as much spiritual powers as did she. Hai my mother was simply the most powerful miko to be born. I was just something she had to do.” He said shutting back anger and pain.
“Did she live the life of a miko after you were born?” She asked feeling his pain.
“Hai I am sure of it. She only sought to end the evil as she put it. There was much of it then. She became so hated by most youkai and because I was in part what she was; I was as bad as she.” Ichigawa explained.
“How did you meet Ayana?” She demanded.
“I was young. I was arrogant and needed adventure I thought. We all knew about the warrior goddess known as Ayana the Great. I actually went to find her on my own. She was battling oni often at the time. Her mates Gaku and Jouichi were never home. Her court was wild and licentious. I observed it awhile but she fought beside her mates often. I spied. Like I said; I was young and a fool. I watched her often; perched in a tree, hiding behind boulders. I was superb with barriers and masking, even better then you. She of course being kumo knew something was up and she was getting unnerved by it. I did not realize I was being hunted too.” He said with a sad smile.
“Hai?” She asked rapt.
“One day, I was trying to find her and I was trying to track her when I was happened upon by a rather large kumo in true form. It literally scared the crap out of me. I realized soon that it was her and she sat there and stared at me forever. She finally changed form; she then walked up to me and knocked me on my backside.” Ichigawa said wistfully.
“Who the hell are you to follow me?” She demanded of the rather young inu man.
“I heard you could fight. I wanted to see how a kumo did that.” He smarted off.
“Boy! I have no time for such idiocy! Go home before you mother misses you.” Ayana snorted.
“I have no mother.” Ichigawa said with narrowed eyes.
“I am sorry for you then but that is not my problem. Go away child! I have an empire to run.” She said trying to walk past him.
“Cowardly whore.” He said in passing.
Ichigawa was soon flat on his back having been hit by the said onna. She looked furious and he suddenly grabbed her leg and threw her. Ayana rolled and came up with anger in her brown eyes. The man child smirked at her and she was caught off guard by his beauty. He had an innocence to him that was not normal to a youkai and she shook her head, Nagaharu had the same sort of sweetness and she shoved it away.
“I said go home boy! I have no wish to fight you.” She growled in anger.
“Boo hoo. I heard you were mighty. I heard you keep a harem of men.” He taunted as he pulled his blade.
“The harem no. The mighty hai.” She snorted.
“No harem? So your prowess in the bedroom is exaggerated?” Ichigawa asked almost sweetly.
Ayana sputtered. First he was saying she was a slut and then he was saying she was not but not enough. She was getting highly furious and things tended to break when she was furious. She pulled her fang and began to clash metal with him. The boy had been well taught but she saw holes in his defenses. She exploited them quickly and he was on the ground, on his knees, and bleeding within minutes.
“Do not mar such a cute face!” She chuckled as she patted his cheek.
“You won.” He said almost in disbelief.
“Hai. I would gather that I am a helluva lot older than you are. Go on man child.” Ayana tittered as she tried to walk away.
Ichigawa was too young, brash, and really into fighting. The sparring helped to ease his loneliness that he had to endure. His father was a good man and he had re-mated. He had several younger sibling but they were not like him. No, nobody was like him. He grew angry and sliced her hoary wide open in the back. He did not cut skin but saw her golden tan and it was rather nice to look at.
“Sorry. My blade slipped.” Ichigawa snorted as he sheathed his weapon.
Ayana was in disbelief that the brat had a set. She turned and he was gone. His yoki was ungodly strong but he was so freakishly young. She had no idea who the man child had been but it had been entertaining nonetheless.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She began to expect the crazy boy as she called him. He would quickly spar her and he was getting better. She realized he was using her to train. It miffed her and somewhat excited her that he was so devious with the face of a cherub in her opinion. Sometimes her clothes did not fare so well as he would take cheap shots. Ataru stared at her as she would come in from said spars and he raised a brow at his queen. She ignored it and went on about her business. Jouichi was up to some nonsense again and it made her tired. Jouichi and Gaku also made her tired in all their dealings and maneuverings. They had become quite adept at being consorts and Ayana missed the days when her men gave a shit about her. She of course had her lovers but it was a way of releasing tension. Rutting was fun but making love was gone. She wondered if she made love since Nagaharu. She had her favorites and she had some that she liked a whole hell of a lot. Bihua was someone close to her but she even kept him at arm’s length. She could love distantly but the all consuming and burning desire had died with her soul mate. Part of her insanity over Jouichi came from the fact that he was all she had left of her precious healer and her eldest male child was a man whore to the extreme. So now she bathed and decided a good hunt was in order. She called to Ataru and to let her freakishly protective extended cousin and general know she would be in the forest. He said nothing as usual and she ported to her large funnel deep in the forest. She let down her brown hair and she stiffened visibly.
“You should not come upon a kumo when they are hungry.” She said without turning.
“Oh? You are not afraid of much.” The boy said.
“You should be afraid of more.” Ayana said tersely.
“Uh huh. Sorry I am not. So this is how you all hunt?” He asked smirking.
“Do not be snarky boy.” She stated getting irritated and overly hot.
“I can be whatever the hell I want. Sorry.” He said coldly.
“What is your name?” She demanded.
“What do you want it to be?” He retorted.
“Do not start this crap child! I asked you a question! You stand upon my lands.” She growled.
“Ichigawa. My name is Ichigawa.” He said in a low growl.
“Well Ichigawa by the look of you; you are a Northern inu. I did not think they liked to fight.” Ayana said watching him.
“You know nothing.” He stated suddenly with anger.
“I suppose. I have concerned myself with my own issues. What are your issues?” She asked watching him.
“No words. Fight or I will leave.” Ichigawa said with vehemence.
“No. I am hunting. I want real food and not something done up in my kitchens. Now if you wish to spar then I shall do so later…” She started to say.
She never got the chance to finish when he threw her. The wind was knocked out of her lungs and she gasped heavily. Ayana was astonished but he was fixing to force her into a fight. She grabbed his legs and threw him. His face showed surprise and he was staring up at her golden brown eyes. Ayana briefly saw his mind and he was in anguish; constant and ever present anguish.
“Who are you?” She whispered.
“Nobody! Get off of me.” He hissed.
This man was one of the few not vying for her attention at court and he only wanted to strengthen himself. He used her too but in a very different way.
“Let me hunt and I will train you.” She said softly.
“Why would you do that?” Ichigawa demanded.
“Because you entertain me. Perhaps I will tire of you soon enough. Go away for now and then I will play.” She snorted softly.
“Ok.” The young man snapped as he got out from under her.
Ayana sat there on the ground as she watched him walk away. She had only briefly saw it and the boy was something deep, some mass of swirling pain, and his yoki was barely suppressed. He was also angry. He was hellaciously angry. The young man that was Ichigawa made her curious.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Ichi! You are off today boy! Do not let down your guard for a second.” Ayana snarled at her inu student.
“Could you stop acting like an inu bitch? I swear Ayana; you are so used to ordering everybody around. I am not one of your little kumo brats.” He growled at her.
“We have been at this for months Ichigawa. You are much a finer warrior but you have been sloppy as of late.” She said in irritation.
“My father wrote to me.” He said suddenly.
“He has? He knows where you are?” She asked surprised.
“A little. I had to ask for money you see. He wants me to come home and mate. Imagine me mating at one hundred six?” Ichigawa snorted.
“Oh.” She said unable to fathom her little warrior away.
“So because he mated for duty then I am expected to do the same. My mother was a monster and I am a pariah but he found me a nice mindless and docile bitch that will tolerate my status.” He said in bitterness.
“I do not understand Ichigawa.” She said confused.
“I shall tell you a secret! Would you like to know a secret?” He said in a condescending tone.
“Surely.” Ayana said watching him.
“I am the son of a miko.” He said bowing.
“What? How would that be possible? Their blood would purify a pup.” She said in disbelief.
“Not if said miko was hanyou. I am a dirty you see. I have a quarter ningen in me but enough it taints me for normal inu. I can only mate another insipid Northern inu. Make more little freaks of the youkai world.” He said in anger.
Ayana stared at the unusual man and he was so angry and so full of wrath. She had no clue what could have happened to make him so bitter.
“Midoriko.” He said out loud.
“That creature is dangerous to us all.” Ayana said hissing.
“That creature bore a son before she abandoned him to fight us youkai. I was too demonic for her.” He said shaking in rage.
“Are you serious?” She asked stunned.
“Quite. So now you see; I have to know how to fight because if it is known and it has been known, I am the scourge of the youkai world. A hanyou miko who hunts and kills youkai? She is the most powerful miko the Kamis ever made and I call her mom. So how is your son?” Ichigawa asked in sarcasm.
He made a noise and he threw his weapon away. He walked into the forest and she only stood there stunned. Never before had she met such a creature. The Northern inu were secretive and clannish. The Western inu were brasher and well known but the North; no nobody knew anything and the canines kept it that way. She now knew why but it boggled her mind.
“Ichigawa?” She called softly.
“I should go home Ayana. You have actually been great to me. I actually like coming here and sparring you. Makes me feel normal and you do not treat me like anything other than an annoying boy. I have seen you fight with that son of yours and I think it is great. I would have been honored to have you as a mother; I think he will realize it later.” He said as a single tear fell down his face.
Ayana suddenly kissed him and he was startled. The kiss that started out as lip on lip became passionate really fast and their mouths scorched the other. She had trouble focusing as his lips burned her skin. She felt his soft mouth everywhere; her cheeks, forehead, and throat. Her soft cries were escalating and she was out of control way too fast. Ichigawa unleashed and when done so; he was an animal almost. He was starved and he devoured. Hands were buried in hair as tongue licked a path down her neck. He ripped open her haori and kosode with savage want and she yelped in a passionate haze. She had been sparring him for many months and never once had they crossed that line. His mouth found a breast and her soulful cry made him growl wildly. He nibbled and bit her tit and she was gasping in and out for sanity. This young man; this inu was consuming her senses totally and she jerked her head side to side as he began to nip her skin more.
“Ichi.” She cried breathlessly.
“Do not call me that.” He growled out.
“Huh?” She asked in a confused lust.
“I am a man Ayana. I know you think me a boy but I am a man.” He said forcefully.
“Then call me Yana.” She gasped as he slipped two fingers into her.
His thumb toyed with her clit and he fingers thrust short and sharp within her. He began to lick at her mouth again and her inner balance was thrown off as his wicked fingers scraped sensitive onna’s flesh. Ichigawa hungrily kissed her mouth again and she screamed wildly into his lip lock as something bled into her nub. She was shaking out of control and every kumo sense was tripped. Ayana was thrown into free fall and she could not breathe. The queen of the combined kumo grasped at her lover before falling out completely. Her orgasm ripped from her and she flooded his hand as she sagged totally. Ichigawa only breathed hard against her neck as he attempted to recover his senses. His own climax had taken him by surprise as the connection he had been basic and through his empathy. Never before had he touched an onna like this and he knew it wrong. She was mated and he was just a mere inu low noble. He looked at her web and he decided to try and situate her. Ichigawa ported inside the cramped space and he carefully let her fall. He ported out before Ayana woke up and things went stupid.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Ayana! Are you even listening?” Gaku stated in intense irritation.
“Huh?” She asked then met his black eyes.
“I have been trying to get you to sign this law! Damn it onna.” He muttered.
“Do you forget who is queen?” Ayana asked.
“No my dear. I do not forget but it takes management to run this vast empire you have acquired. You are off on some new conquest whilst your two consorts actually manage it.” The elder brother and consort asked.
“New conquest? What do you mean by that?” She snarled.
“Oh Ayana. You may be a jorogumo but you think us men so dumb. Play your games my sweet. I know how you are.” He said in anger.
“What happened to us Gaku?” She asked suddenly.
“I am not Nagaharu. At least he had your heart whilst you fucked around. We only have our titles.” He said snappishly and he left.
Ayana stared at the door and he was right. She had tried and at first it had been good. Now she just ached and it was constant. She saw a shadow across the hall and Jouichi was up to something again.
“Gaku Jouichi! I swear boy if you leave this palace!” She screamed.
So started another of her many evenings of familial bliss. She left in a rage after having beat her son. Jouichi had the temerity to laugh at her as she tried to discipline him. She shrieked in rage as she stormed from her own palace and she brought her fang. Ichigawa still came around but nothing else had occurred. She was in a mood and she found him quickly enough. She was used to the sight of the beautiful brown inu. His true form was exquisite and they had actually slept next to each other in their true forms. The trust it took to do that with another species was extraordinary and her Ichi as she called him was her dearest friend. She trusted him above any male kumo. They sparred wildly and Ichigawa could sense her pain. She never said a word and he realized that she too suffered. Whatever it was she had equal parts pain and their battle was long. She had trained him well and he was checking his own teacher. Ayana was soon sobbing and he stopped.
“Tell me.” He demanded.
“No. You said you were leaving soon. When?” Ayana said wiping her eyes.
“Two days.” Ichigawa stated.
“I see. When you go, you take my happiness with you. I am so glad you found me Ichi. I must go.” She said silently crying harder.
“Yana stop!” He said with a heavy heart.
“No. I must not let tender feelings enter in. I am a cold as stone ruler. I have no room for emotions. I am only to be used for favors and prestige. My heart is dead Ichigawa and this little bit of exercise has given me more happiness than I have felt in so long. You are a wonderful man and I have been blessed to know such perfect sweet. I pray you find some measure of relief from your pain. I know not all the reasons but perhaps it does not truly matter, eh? You feel it, so It is real. Bless you my sweet man. Have a good life.” She said walking by him and she kissed his cheek.
Ichigawa felt as though he had been stabbed and he grabbed her arm. She was stiff and her weeping was greater.
“You left!” She yelled out.
“I have never done anything like it before.” He whispered.
“What? Never?” Ayana asked turning.
“No.” Ichigawa admitted.
“Never?” She asked in disbelief.
“I know you are kumo but hai! Never! Listen onna.” He said embarrassed.
“I thought that and you did and holy hell boy!” She said sputtering almost in amusement.
“You did not need to tell me it was not good.” He said blushing furiously.
“What? You thought that? Are you insane?” She asked palming his cheek.
“You passed out onna.” He said redder then she had ever seen a person.
“Ichigawa, I passed out because it was so utterly wonderful.” Ayana stated brushing his lips with her thumb.
“Oh.” Ichigawa blushed prettily.
“I did not get to return the favor.” She said huskily.
“I felt yours I think. I had a release.” He said barely audible.
“You did?” His kumo said shocked.
“Hai. Can we not talk about it?” The poor young man said hopelessly mortified.
“Did touching a kumo mortify you so?” She asked getting hurt.
“It is not that! I and I have no experience! I have not touched an onna before because I know not what I will do, okay?” Ichigawa said sputtering.
“Then touch me.” She implored him.
“Why?” He asked trembling.
“Because you need it and so do I.” She actually smiled.
Ichigawa suddenly found himself being walked backwards and his back hit a tree. He gasped as she began to urgently jerk at his hakama ties.
“Yana? What are you doing?” Ichigawa said trying to find oxygen.
“Want you. I need you Ichi. Fuck!” She snarled as she finished ripping his silk.
She bared his skin and he blushed again. She groaned as she took him in and he was lovely as she had seen. He was younger then Jouichi but she did not care. She leaned against him and she felt the weight of his sac and rolled his stones. The young inu was panting out as she touched him.
“Do you know that you are so beautiful?” She asked growling in lust.
“No.” He said almost afraid.
“Ichi. Kamis you are so fucking beautiful.” She said sliding down his body.
“Yana?” He moaned as she began to kiss his length.
“Hai. So beautiful. So good. Ichigawa watch me!” She commanded fiercely.
His silvery-grey orbs were wide and she began to lick at him. The onna who had become something so cherished to him lovingly sucked at his length and he was groaning out crazily. For her part, Ayana was getting absolutely insane with her desire and plain want for him. She adjusted her mouth and she began to mouth him urgently. He was groaning and growling above her but he still watched. She switched actions and skimmed lips down his length and she used her tongue tip to trace one node and she heard his claws score the tree. Ayana loved it and she sucked it into her hot mouth. The action obliterated him and he was crying out shortly and begging. His words though urgent were filled with emotion and she realized need. The kumo queen stared up at him and his now red eyes locked with hers.
“Will you trust me? Will you trust me that I will never hurt you?” Ayana asked stroking him slowly.
“Hai. I trust you. I totally trust you.” He whispered.
“Let yourself go. I will help you end.” Her voice soothingly said.
She saw him try to relax and her hand tightened around him enough. His weeping cock helped her glide effortlessly up and down his shaft. Ichigawa was shifting and groaning wildly as she worked his cock. She was torn between wanting to drink him or kiss his mouth as he came. She decided she had time and she stood up. She drove her tongue into his mouth as she stroked him harder. Ichigawa was hearing a roaring sound and he realized it was his blood pumping harder. His body became utterly tense and he felt so much. He felt her and he was gasping. His balls drew up as the most incredible bliss stole through him. Ayana moaned greedily against his mouth as she felt the liquid inferno on her hand and she was growling. She felt a weak bit of his yoki and it was such pleasant warmth. It made her want so much more.
“Better?” She asked in his elfin ear.
“Hai.” He breathed.
“Ichigawa.” Ayana said lifting her hand and slowly licked it clean.
“Oh.” He said with wide eyes.
“Kami I want you so badly. I want you.” She said kissing him with such hunger.
Ichigawa was caught up in the amazing kiss and he felt her words. She truly wanted him and what she was feeling made him turn red to his roots. She only kissed him with abandon and she made up her mind to have him slowly. She would work up to more. This young man was worth it she thought. She had time.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ayana was in her dojo working with Ataru and Jouichi was there too and he was gossiping with another courtier. She rolled her eyes and she struck Ataru’s blade. He jumped and stuck to the wall and she made a clucking sound.
“You are ruthless General Ataru.” She said laughing.
“I win.” He said blandly.
“I know! You keep my borders very well. Now I am for a bath and Jouichi?” She called.
“Hai Mother?” He asked annoyed.
“No more onna this week my dear. I am sick to hear you know not to pull out.” She snorted as she walked out of her dojo.
Her eldest son sputtered and he jumped up. He followed after her and he was angry. She had been spending more and more time away from Matsuyame and he suddenly slammed his own mother against the wall.
“Where are you going?” Jouichi asked.
“Unhand me son.” She growled.
“I want to know where my mother is going.” He snarled.
“I am going to bathe in an onsen and I am going to hunt! I am your mother and your queen!” Ayana snarled.
“Hai you are both but I am also your heir. You are my beloved mother and I will not lose you because my father and his brother scheme!” He hissed in her ear.
Ayana stiffened and she looked back at her son. Their eyes met and she squashed the feelings she felt around him. There was such a powerful connection to him and it unnerved her but she also had killed several of his old lovers. He never knew but she could not stomach the idea of knowing his whores.
“What do you mean?” She demanded.
“I mean watch your back Mother. You are in danger.” He whispered heavily in her ear.
“Who?” She hissed softly.
“Lansoh is making noises and she has been seen in my father’s company. I thought you should know.” He said kissing her ear.
Jouichi pulled away and her chest heaved. Her chief consort was conspiring against her and she felt her stomach bottom out. She was blinded by tears and she ported to the forests outside of Matsuyame. She found Ichigawa and he had not left. She was weeping and she fell into his arms as he held her.
“I am going to have to kill my own mate.” She said crying into his shoulder.
“What? Why?” He asked astonished.
“They conspire against me. I get angry against Jouichi but he is mine! He is my son and he is my blood. Gaku is not his father; my beloved Nagaharu was.” She said crying inconsolably.
“Who was Nagaharu?” Ichigawa asked.
“He was my first mate and the only man I had truly loved with my whole heart. It was the beginning of my kingdom and he was pure, he was young, and he was unsullied by all this bullshit! He was a healer. He was killed by fucking ningen.” Ayana admitted.
“I am so sorry Yana. My father has sent inu to look for me.” He said in her hair.
“You cannot leave me!” She cried.
“Ayana, I have to go home. I have been so happy too you know. I will cherish this. You have made me feel so good about even being alive.” He said clutching her.
They had not had intercourse but they had explored the other. She had shown him how it was supposed to be and they knew that their being lovers was dangerous. They had not crossed the technical line and she forced his lips to hers. She was kissing him with sadness and longing. Ichigawa did not want to go but his sire was a younger brother of Lord Takuma. He was missed and his father had been making excuses for him. Ichigawa suddenly cried out as he felt something so totally different and it made him fall to his knees.
“What did you do?” He asked trying to suck in air.
“If you are leaving me then I will make love to you. I will not rut but I will show you what it is I feel.” She said with unashamed tears.
“Ayana! Oh shit!” Ichigawa screamed out.
“It is my venom. You trust me?” She asked desperately.
“Hai! Hai!” He said clawing the ground.
His cock was so hard and rigid. He could feel it too intensely and he was dizzy. Ayana had him laid out flat and she was ripping open his clothes. Her mouth made a hot path across his throat and down his chest as she latched on the way he liked to do to her. He had not realized that his own flat nipples were so sensitive and she was sucking crazily. She stroked him whilst her hot mouth burned his skin. He never stopped groaning or crying out as his kumo lover touched and worshipped him. She brought him to the brink of orgasm several times but did not let him come. His snarls were animal and he was needy. She fell to her back and he pounced on her. Ichigawa pressed his hard body against hers and she stared at his ragged features. He bore a small cross marking on his forehead and he was so tenderly beautiful.
“I need you!” She screamed out as his fingers sought.
“Hai! I love you Ayana, I love you!” Ichigawa snarled as he fell against her.
Ichigawa sank into her fiery depths and he shook as his first time within an onna undid him. He hooked her leg in his arm and he moved. Their lips sought over and over as he pulled back and resunk his flesh into hers. Her claws scored him repeatedly and she was arching and jerking her head side to side when not ravishing his mouth or feeling his tongue. Nothing else mattered but this moment to either of them. The young inu man and the kumo queen were spiraling together towards Nirvana and neither cared what the other was. She only knew she was in complete and utter love again. She gasped harder and harder as Ayana felt her body clench. Her inner kumo lost it and she jerked his jaw aside. She sank her fangs in so deeply as to leave a mating mark on this man she adored with her whole soul. Ichigawa made the deepest and most mournful sound she had ever heard and her reddened eyes widened as his own fangs marked her in return at the height of their bliss. His gold energies bathed them both as his seed filled her fully. Ichigawa was losing his own conscious mind as her muscles spasmed around him and he completely blacked out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Her beloved did go home and he did mate the proper bitch but he stole away and often. Their meetings were hugely secret and the love making intense as they did whatever it meant to be together. Ayana was against a boulder as her lover and heart took her from behind and she clawed at the rock. Ichigawa’s words scorched her ears as he thrust with abandon into his soul mate. They were both mated for duty but this was love.
“Harder! Harder Ichi. Oh fuck harder!” She snarled.
“Yana. Hai. Hai.” He said losing his mind to his first mate.
Ayana heard him grunt loudly as his yoki and seed spilled deep in her. It took her all to stay awake but she had learned to take it. His finals thrusts put her over again and she moaned out as he finished.
“Do you touch her?” She asked softly.
“I have to occasionally Yana. I have to appear as if I am mated to her. She knows I do not love her.” He said softly.
“She does not love you either.” Ayana said bitterly.
“No.” He said sighing as he stared up.
“When is your pup supposed to be born?” His love asked in a pain filled voice.
“Five months.” He said softly.
“Do not do to him what has been done to you. Love him even if you do not love his mother.” She said wiping her tears away.
“Ayana please do not do this.” Ichigawa cried.
“I know responsibility Ichi. I do it every day. I know we are forbidden but it does not stop my want. Do you understand? It does not stop my dreams of being able to lie beside you every day. It does not negate my wish to have a child by you! It does not stop my hate of her for not realizing what a special and wonderful man you are!” She said as the pain made her throat ache.
“Ayana, I am nobody compared to you. A minor noble and no more. I am also the son of a horrible onna.” He said in an anguished tone.
“She is not horrible. She is deluded. She is convinced that all youkai are evil. She must hate the half of her that is as well. I see often enough. It is why Nagaharu was killed. The ningen did not understand that we kumo can be as gentle as they but we look fierce some in our other forms and so they fear us. They imagine we are monsters and so they make us be that way. Never say you are nobody! You are my everything besides my children. You and they are the only things that matter to me.” She said cupping his cheek.
“I love you.” He whispered.
“I love you.” Ayana whispered back.
Their stolen moments were too short and always broke their hearts. They still did it anyway.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ichigawa stood by and he could not believe what the healer told him. His mate had gone to sleep and she simply had not woken up. The pup and she were both dead and the smell of burnt flesh could be tasted in the air. He had been sick and he realized that his mate had been slowly purified by his own pup. His father had been horrified and he was stumbling back. Takuma even stared at him as if he was some sort of monster. He had fled to find his love and he found her. Ichigawa had wept in her arms and guilt had ate him alive. Ayana shielded her own state simply because he would have freaked. She could not tell him that his other child resided in her womb. She had even gone to her own mother; the Jorogumo elder, Asa. She had fallen to her knees and begged her to help her. She begged her mother to help this babe be born. The old kumo had held her youngest daughter and wept with her. Ayana was fortified with much and ancient barriers around her child but it protected her body from the same fate as Ichigawa’s official mate. She kept the truth from him for now because he felt such horrible guilt.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
R 20;I know Ayana.” She heard the following day as she signed legislation.
“Pardon me?” Ayana asked as she looked up.
She stared at Gaku with barely contained hate. He stared at her with the same.
“I know you have been fucking some inu, an inu!” He snarled.
“So?” She asked raising a brow.
“Disgusting harlot! You could at least pretend to have a little decorum in your fuck buddies but a fucking, Kamis damn mutt?” Gaku said with fury.
“What twists your hakama the most Gaku? The fact that he is inu or the fact I prefer him over you?” She asked cruelly.
“You whore!” He said actually knocking her in the face.
Ayana lifted her head and she stared at him with malice. His eyes were red and he was in a rage. She was not prepared for his next move. He grabbed her long, silky brown hair and he stunned her with his venom. It was the only way to keep her immobile and she was horrified as her own consort ripped open her kimono. He shoved himself into her over and over as he spewed his hate filled words. Ayana screamed out as he raped her brutally and he kicked her.
“Fuck you Ayana Agelina! You filthy fucking whore. Ataru has already attacked the North with the command to find him and kill him. I will have him put on a table before all the kumo and he will be dissected slowly and I will cut his dick off myself. I loved you!” He said in hate.
Ayana was slowly moving and she was sobbing in anger and her own hate. She lifted her hand and Gaku saw it too late. She flung her Supaida Nami at him full force and it was a miracle he survived.
“Never fucking touch me again! I am a jorogumo! Never fucking touch me again!” She shrieked.
Soldiers ran in and they saw the state of their queen and the status of her consort. Ayana was gasping and she had to find Ichigawa. She was sobbing as blood ran down her legs and she covered herself. Jouichi the Younger ran in and he saw his mother bloody.
“Take Gaku to the cellars and charge him with treason!” She snarled.
“Mother?” Her heir asked.
“DO IT!” Ayana shrieked again like a lunatic.
Bihua was there and he stared at her in horror. She was shaking and not in her right mind. She only knew she had to find Ichigawa. She had to find the man she loved. Gaku said he had been attacked and she saw Ataru as she passed.
“You betrayed me!” She said staring at his cold green eyes.
“I saved you.” He said unemotionally.
She backhanded him so hard he went flying. Jouichi walked her out and the kingdom was in chaos. Lansoh was arrested for high treason as well and things were happening too fast. Ayana could barely function and she depended upon her long time lover and her son Jouichi. Things were happening and it was all falling apart.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
He had spoken but the floodgates were open. She was on her side and she was gasping in and out as he held her arm.
“Oh Kami. Ichigawa.” She said with wide eyes and horror.
“What is it?” The soft spoken general asked.
“I saw. I saw it.” She cried as the tears fell.
“No.” He said rising.
“She did not tell you she lost the pup. You never knew.” She said getting sick to her stomach.
“Stop it!” He said biting his hand to fight back his emotions.
“What did Ataru do?” Asuna asked in so much pain.
“What did you see?” Ichigawa asked stuttering.
“Gaku raped her. She was fixing to execute him and Lady Lansoh for treason. They went behind her back to attack the North. They used you and Ayana’s relationship as an excuse to try and take power.” She choked on the sobs.
“Oh Kami. Oh Kami. It was better when I thought she left me. Oh shit.” He said falling back and held his stomach.
“She was carrying your pup fine. Asa put barriers up around the babe to seal in its yoki. She was so brutally raped that he was killed.” She said holding her belly.
“Stop it!” He said rocking back and forth.
“Ichigawa!” She said reaching for him.
“Do you not see? I am the reason! She is dead because of me. The fighting and the outbreaks were because of me!” He said shaking his head and unable to reason well.
“The Ramanga riled up the ningen near Matsuyame. She was probably weak from the miscarriage. It was not your fault!” She said weeping too.
“He told me that she found me amusing. He said she was sending me a message and that my services were no longer required.” Ichigawa said through his own tears.
“You saw the devastation and believed him. You had faced enough tragedy and you did not believe anything good happened for long.” Asuna wept too.
He nodded and he laid his head against her leg and wept like a small child. Both of them wept and she laid her head back against the pillow of her leather chaise lounge and sobbed with mournful cries.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She had fallen asleep with Ichigawa leaning his head against her leg. Both had wept themselves into exhaustion and Tekeshi stood in the door of her small castle and could not for the life of him understand why his very good friend and distant relative was here. He could “feel” the residual emotions in the room like they were a weight and he was utterly bewildered.
“Aijou? Ichigawa?” He asked softly.
“My lord?” Ichigawa asked lifting his head.
Asuna did not respond and Tekeshi was concerned. Ichigawa looked panicked and her hand fell limply down.
“Aijou? Aijou?” Tekeshi said yelling.
“My lord! I will call her healer.” He said jumping up and running to a phone.
She was barely breathing and her skin was ashen. Ichigawa was certain that the answer lied in the old jorogumo Asa. He called Nobu and the famed healer appeared immediately. He made a noise of anguish and he picked her up and ported with her to the hospital.
“Ichigawa are you coming?” Tekeshi demanded.
“No my lord. I have something to see to.” He said bowing.
Ichigawa ported to Kinki. He was leery and he knew these ancient kumo were powerful. He peaked in the caves and he heard humming.
“Well Ichigawa. You come after all this time.” He heard from the dark.
“I believed she left me.” He said choking.
“Perhaps she did. What do you want?” Asa asked coming forward.
The jorogumo came forward and her hair hung black nearly to the floor. Her skin was deathly white and her normally brown eyes were red.
“You are ekimmu.” He said suddenly.
“I am a kumo. I was a contemporary of those beasts. We have been around as long as they but we were not stupid.” She said in contempt.
“My lady.” He said falling to his knee.
“You wish what?” She asked coldly.
“My pup is killing her. I only wish to have her alive. I do not deserve her but please, your yoki was saving her before. Do it again. Not for me but for her.” Ichigawa pleaded.
Asa’s eyes slowly changed back to brown. She looked at the poor young man and he was weeping again.
“She loved you and you gave her such happiness near the end. She was betrayed by that beast Gaku. I killed him you know. It is said he was killed in the battle of Matsuyame but it is not so. I killed him for raping my Ayana.” Asa said coldly.
“What did you do?” He asked looking up.
“I did to him what he intended to do to you. I made it so that Ataru died as well. He better never show himself to me again or I will kill him as that hollow beast as well.” She said in her sing song tone.
“The Ramanga stirred up the ningen?” He asked stifling his anguish.
“Hai.” She said lifting her chin.
“Who are you Lady Asa?” He asked stunned.
“One of Izanagi bastards. He did not want us and so I made my way.” She said looking at him.
“Lady Asuna was…” Ichigawa started to say.
“My sister.” She said flatly.
“Oh my Kami.” He said stumbling back.
“When Gwydion had her soul recycled; several of us sheltered her. Our fucking creator if you will got wind of it a couple of times. Ayille did too. I loved her as she held no retarded prejudices. She was good and she was honorable. She paid the price for honor. When she was born to me; I wept. I prayed and tried to protect and nourish her soul to fruition but the end. The end destroyed her nearly. You were her second soul mate as Ayana. She wanted that babe so badly. She fell to her knees and begged me to let her have it. She wanted him so much. She wanted to have him with her and you beside her as Nagaharu should have been. She loved your son as much as she loved Jouichi.” She whispered cupping her face.
“Does the ekimmu know you still exist?” Ichigawa asked choking.
“No. I help when I can but if need be then so it shall be. I am only a younger and inferior sister.” She smirked a fangy smile.
“I bed you Lady Asa. I beg you.” He wept.
“I shall go. You must return to your life General Ichigawa.” She said softly.
“I swear I will never touch her again. I only wish her well.” He said choking back more emotion.
“Perhaps it is time you came out so to speak and let it be known why you have always managed to survive and be safe. Perhaps your abilities can be used against Bilae. Stop this evil from happening!” Asa demanded.
His eyes were wide but she was quickly gone. He ported himself and he appeared at Yamasaki General.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nobu stepped back and he was petrified. There stood one onna who managed to scare the ever loving hell out of most kumo men. Asa stepped to Asuna and cupped her cheeks. She kissed her lips softly and several of her mates were there. Nobu was freaking but he had said he did not think she would live the day. Naraku, Ishin, Gwydion, Chang, and several more were near.
“Asa?” Gwydion said utterly shocked.
“Hello.” She smirked at the ekimmu.
“Holy hell. How is it you are here?” The blond ekimmu asked.
“I was born here stupid.” Asa laughed her lilting laugh.
“Do you know each other?” Naraku demanded.
“Hai. I know him well. Hello big brother.” She smirked.
“You! You helped her soul!” He cried out.
“Hai. Why would I not? You and Arianrhod did not shun me nor my other siblings.” She said with a wistful smile.
“Ayana! You were her mother?” Gwydion asked.
“Hai. Hai and our sire is an arrogant and careless maker. He cares not about the evil. He only cares for his own greatness.” She said in hatred.
“Okay this fucking freaky.” Ishin said shocked.
“Be quiet Ishin.” She commanded.
“Hai mam.” He said shutting up.
“I am going to help her now.” She said holding her and her body was bathed in a huge amount of yoki.
Most had to cover their eyes and when the yoki dissipated; Asuna was on the bed and Asa was gone. Gwydion was shocked at how powerful little Asa had become. He stared at his mate and she was coming to.
“Asuna!” Nobu cried.
“Oh! I feel better a little bit.” She mumbled.
“Oh my Kamis.” The healer said shocked stupid.
“Asa?” She asked gently.
“Hai.” He nodded.
“Thank you mother.” She whispered out and she shut her eyes.
“Who is the father?” Gwydion demanded.
“No one.” Asuna retorted.
“Aijou please! This nearly killed you. Not even Hana’s birth did this to you.” Tekeshi said in anger.
“I am the sire.” They all heard from the door.
“Ichigawa?” Naraku said taken aback.
“Hai. Lady Asuna has covered up for me. I am the sire and she should not have to do this alone.” He said with a bowed head.
“How is it your pup is doing this?” His friend and lord said trembling.
“Ichigawa stop.” Asuna commanded.
“No. Asa is right. I have cowered for so long. I will never forgive myself. I will never forgive the fact she died thinking I did not love her. Lady Ayana was my mate.” He announced.
“Oh shit.” Ishin said with wide eyes.
“Do tell.” The dark hanyou said with crossed arms.
“Near the end.” The inu said in shame.
“Ichigawa it does not matter anymore! You are you in this life. I forced him. I used my empusae yoki when he told me no. I was affected by old memories and I dishonored myself and him. I am sorry.” She implored him.
“She did not force me. I have known who she is since the Siege of Tianjin. I never said anything because you my lord were in love with her. I did not know and then I found out she had lived again and I never knew.” He said with a thin voice.
“Ichigawa, why did you not say anything?” Tekeshi said shocked.
“Because I thought she had abandoned me. I thought her kingdom meant more. I had grown to hate her. I hated the love of my life and could not bear to feel anything.” Ichigawa said hoarsely.
“Stop.” Asuna said with tears forming.
“I am the natural son of the miko Midoriko. I hid it because of what she was. I hid it because I was hated. I became nothing and a no one to hide my shameful mother. She was a hero to the ningen and I accept that but she murdered youkai. Ayana was the first person who looked at me for me and not who my parent was.” He said looking up.
Nobody could say anything and even Tekeshi was dazed, stunned, surprised, and scandalized. Ichigawa was simply one of the strongest youkai known and he had hidden it so well.
“Forgive me in my cowardice. Being invisible made life bearable. She remembered a little when I showed up to get Hana’s blanket. I did not want her to remember as she is also a different person this life. It was a mistake that she has been trying to cover up. I allowed too much to happen and memories to consume me. I beg your forgiveness my lord and her mates. She does not belong to me but I pray that I be allowed to see my pup. The Kamis know I have done nothing to deserve it.” He said bowing low and he stepped back.
He ported away before one word could be spoken and Asuna’s eyes were shut as tears flowed freely. Gwydion felt rage and pity at the same time. Naraku could say nothing and Ishin was just entranced with the whole thing. Tekeshi was actually angry that Ichigawa had hid everything from him and he too ported out.
“You and she will be okay now.” Nobu muttered.
“Hai.” She said weakly.
“I think enough drama has played out. You need rest and we need to confer about moves that we will be making with or without you koi. Get your shit together.” Naraku said coldly.
She was stunned at his words and he ported out via his miasma. Slowly everyone drifted away and Gwydion stayed. He stared at her with mixed feelings.
“What?” She snarled.
“Thinking is all. If he is who he says he is then he need not be away from your sphere. You need to cultivate that man to our cause. You should have said something!” he hissed.
“Like you say things?” Asuna hissed back.
“I tell you as they come up. You have so many lifetimes that bombard you. You should have said something.” He yelled.
“Well it is out now! You have no idea what it meant for him. She was considered the greatest miko ever and to have that stigma over his head when he is a youkai! It just was not done back then, do you understand?” She wept.
“Yes! I understand because my beloved wife and mate broke all manner of traditions, remember? I would have understood!” He said trembling in anguished fury.
“Where are you going?” She asked with a breaking voice.
“Your frère gets more trust then me. He knew did he not? That fucking murdering piece of shit bastard knew!” He said clenching his fists.
“He is my frère!” She said with a weak snarl.
“How good of a queen you have become. Well Asuna…lord over your little kingdom. You obviously have no use for your lawful mates. He is fucking frère!” Gwydion said in hateful anger.
“He is more than a fucking frère you arrogant piece of shit! He is a good man who was influenced by that whore!” She said defending Kameron.
“We do this again. We do it all over again.” He raged.
Gwydion slammed her down on the bed when she tried to get up and his mouth covered hers. He was holding her brutally and it was slowly out of control. His mouth dominated and guided hers. She was fighting to stay within reality and he ripped himself away.
“You will have this baby and you will give me another. You will give me a daughter and I want that frère to watch as I make you full of my child. I want Coventina back! I want my baby girl that he stole. You owe me.” He said so coldly.
“Do not tell me…: She started to snarl.
“Do not tell me you will not. I am not leaving. I have come too far and you have given me a son. You will give me my daughter and then I may forgive you.” He said almost madly.
Asuna shrank back almost in fear because his eyes were green and his aura lit up. He phased away and she was shaking in the emotional overload.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The chaos in the family was not helping their cause as they called it. Ayille woke up and she blinked as she took in her surroundings.
“Great. Fucking wasteland Hueco Mundo.” She said in anger.
“Shut up. You live after your little idiotic stunt. Your old frère is well ensconced and that baby is never left alone. He knows you want to dismember it.” Bilae said bored.
“That is personal. What has happened?” She asked as she stood.
“Well your little fiasco cost us time. So I have been lying quiet. I am also horny.” He said pouting.
She rolled her eyes and she was naked. She came and sat in his lap as he sank her down on his girth. He grabbed her neck tightly and began a harsh pace.
“You forget what we have done together. You used to love me that ardently Ayille. What happened?” He demanded in anger in her ear.
“You died.” She said disgusted.
“I see. So I died and you thought it meant forever? You stupid bitch.” He said coldly.
He jerked her off of him and she hit solid stone. Something went through her and she cried out. The body of the former heir of Maec stalked forward. He twisted a nipple cruelly. She screamed in ecstasy as blood ran down her chest.
“You want to be punished?” Bilae demanded in her ear.
“Yeees!” Ayille screamed.
“You forgot what I did to you and you whined for your poor fucking frère.” He said jerking her forward.
Bilae had a leather strap and he whipped her back. She began to scream as the strip left bloody welts. The lash crisscrossed her back and her legs as he doled out the torture. Soon he used his booted foot to kick her to the side. She was gasping in air and she was close to becoming a gushing slut.
“Say it! Say it whore!” He shouted at her.
“I want your cock! Give it to me! You bastard!” Ayille snarled in her Ramanga voice.
“Then fucking choke on it!” He said shoving his dick down her throat.
His eyes rolled back and she loved it. Bilae was fucking her mouth mercilessly and he roared as he spurted his seed down her wretched throat. She groaned like the whore she was and he pulled back. She was red faced and she could barely breathe. The reborn ekimmu began to stroke his cock hard to get him ready for round two. He shoved her ass cheeks apart and shoved himself inside of her. The Ramanga queen screamed and screamed. It was music to his ears as he violated her body for her enjoyment. He could not remember sex being this satisfying with her in a long time. He soiled her wounds and fucked her till she was in a pool of her own blood.
“Good girl. Oh you actually felt good.” He said falling beside her and her blood made a liquid squish sound.
“Oh hell.” Ayille whispered still rocking from the pain and pleasure.
“I love you Ayille. For what that is worth; I know you as no other. I can make you scream like the cunt you are. Never whine about that pathetic frère again nor nearly cost us our goals!” He said spitting in her face.
“Yes my master.” She whispered almost reverently.
“Now suck my cock.” He commanded.
The Ramanga queen did as she was bid and she bit him several times. The reborn ekimmu withered in his own agony but his own end was perfect. He just needed to make Ayille see that the little players were nothing. They had to take out the major powers. They had to take out Gwydion, Arawn, and Arianrhod. Even the dog daemon known as Sesshomaru posed a major problem. They took out the major players then they stood at the gates.

Captain General was agitated highly. He stood up and he quickly went to his office alone. He changed form to his normal form and he ported over to Seagaia.
“Kaimei!” he yelled in his booming voice.
“What do you wish Teruyoshi?” He demanded as he stepped out of his small castle.
“It has come to my attention that a ningen soul was returned. Who did it?” Teru asked in fury.
“I did.” Kaimei said standing his full height.
“You know it is forbidden! You and your blasted family are done. Over!” He said coldly.
“You threaten me?” The Hasegawa asked.
“Hai. I threaten you. Why would you do such a thing??” The demi-kami asked.
“Because in some small measure it would make her happy. I am a fool but I still love her. It made her child thrilled and it made her happy too. So I did so. Hai. I am a fool and I love a kami. You have done nothing for Soul Society in my opinion and the king really does not care either.” Kaimei stated with arms crossed.
Kaito was actually home for once and he heard the words spoken by his eldest brother. The leader of the Tomoshibi had done something naughty! What Kaito did not expect was that Teru would react. The resulting blast of yoki was horrible and the younger man did step out. He was sickened to see Hasegawa Kaimei on the ground and bleeding out. Teru slid his twin zanpakuto back into its sheath. He heard screams and Hikari, Kizaki, and the twins ran out to see the leader slowly dying.
“Remember this the next time you break the rules of Soul Society.” He said with a frown.
“You bastard!” Hikari screamed.
“You have been warned. You all have been warned. This is her fate, do not join her.” Teruyoshi said coldly.
“How could you?” Kaito snarled.
“How could you? You unleashed monsters upon my people! The ningen are mine!” He said with hate.
Kaimei spirit particles were parting and Hikari was screaming in fury. She suddenly unleashed a weapon of light and Kaito stood in front of his niece/daughter. She was screaming as her real father began to fade away.
“I will never serve you! I will never! NEVER!” She screamed and bloody tears fell down her face.
“The time of the youkai is over. The ningen rule the world and it is high time all accept that. They were monsters and did not deserve this world they were given and so it is my duty to see to it that they are slowly eradicated.” The Captain Commander said with finality.
Kaito was shocked and Hikari did maneuver around Kaito. She went to attack Teru and he whirled on her and choked her to the ground.
“I am not a normal shinigami little girl and you do not have the power to defeat me. Tell your mother; tell her that her days are numbered.” He said and let her go.
He walked away and Hikari beat the ground with her fists as Kaito stood there in utter shock. He had thought the whole time that the enemy lay just in Bilae and Ayille. Now he wondered how far the king would go to allow Arianrhod’s side to “win”. He realized that the real enemy was not the dark ekimmu but Soul Society itself. He was sick and the cries of Hikari rent the air as dusk settled on the outskirts of the Rukongai.

Walking Amongst the Deadly Roads
She was yet again in a hospital bed and she was yet again hooked up to Hakushin’s blood. Her blue eyes were dull and it was difficult as hell to do this thing. Asuna wanted this pup she realized. She wanted her badly and she was weary.
“Aijou? I only ever hear of you in the hospital nowadays.” Tekeshi said from the door.
“Hello.” She said hoarsely as she lifted a hand.
“Asuna! You look so weak! Onna what is wrong?” He asked coming near her bed.
“A difficult pregnancy is all. Nothing unusual my darling. You look good.” Asuna said smiling.
Even her voice was weak and he was totally horrified. Her eyes were shadowed badly and she was too thin for a pregnant onna. He spent several hours with her and he finally went back to Shenyang. He was visiting with Ang Chi and his grandson was agitated.
“Tell me what is wrong besides your mother’s weakness and this apparently horrible pregnancy.” Tekeshi commanded as he sat down.
“You remember Saint Hakushin? Haha made him immortal long ago and well there are claims that this girl pup is his. No one has seen him but Nobu says it is so.” Ang Chi sighed.
“Good Kamis! Saint Hakushin? He was one of the most powerful holy ningen in Japan’s history!” Tekeshi said shocked.
“Hai. He and Haha have been together on and off for centuries. He never stays and drifts through to help here and there.” He sighed more.
“Good Kamis Chi. I have never seen her this weak.” He said in horror.
“I have. When Lei nearly killed her. She was in such a long death sleep after that episode. Oh! Ichigawa! How are you sir?” Ang Chi asked smiling as his former general came in.
“I came to drop of those land grant reports that you asked for Lord Ang Chi. My Lord Tekeshi.” He said bowing.
“Hello Ichigawa. Serious as ever.” He said smiling.
“Hai sir. Who is weak?” He asked absentmindedly.
“Lady Asuna. She cannot even rise from her bed at the moment.” The older inu replied.
“Why?” Ichigawa asked surprised.
“She is pupped by Saint Hakushin they say.” Ang Chi replied.
“The Saint Hakushin?” The brown inu asked more shocked.
“Hai. She knew him back in the Sengoku Jidai. Anyway, they say he is here running around but Haha is losing the battle to keep the pup.” The Manchu lord stated.
“I see. I hope she recovers. My lords.” The general said bowing.
Tekeshi bowed to him and he had feigned disinterest. He walked slowly to the outer chambers and his heart was beating out of control. Ichigawa wanted to vomit in that he was sick with worry. He made a tenuous decision to see her. He ported to Yamasaki General and he looked around. He scented her out and she was in a private room and she was sleeping. The dark circles under her eyes were sickening to see. She looked as if she was wasting away and youkai were not supposed to look like this. Her nose twitched and she did not open her eyes.
“Go.” She whispered.
“Why are you doing this?” He asked heart sick.
“I did not ask for your attention nor your help. You have made your position clear and I have made my decision. I wronged you and I will not continue to do so. Go be alone. I only sought you out in the past to confirm intelligence but I know now. She is very much wanted and Hakushin loves her. I understand your reasons believe it or not. I think I understand why you have done what you have done. You should never have condescended to me. I do not appreciate the fact that I asked you to fight and you lie so blatantly. You could kill me without a thought. So anyway Ichigawa, I am sleepy.” She said rolling to her side.
“You kill yourself slowly! You think I did not want because I did not wish for a pup? I cannot have what I wish. You are so fucking stubborn onna. You called me a fool.” He said wanting to tear something up.
“I will not succumb and my daughter will be amazing! She will be loved and wanted! She will not be shunned or something dirty. She will stand in the open and I will praise her every day. So leave Ichigawa. I have no use for cowards.” Asuna said snarling at him.
“You mean hearted bitch! I have survived. I learned early on what it was to be something I am not. I am no coward and I try to save that which I care for. You are the one who is so stupid.” Ichigawa said in a hurt tone.
“I have asked nothing of you have I? You asked me to finally leave you alone and I have.” She said flatly.
“You only did so after you made me care!” He shouted at her.
“You are correct. I bullied you. I accept that title. Should you prefer a monetary settlement? I can manage I assure you. I did you ill. I told you that I can own up to my mistakes.” She said reaching for her bag.
“I want no monies from you! I am not one of your kept men.” He snarled.
“You are here to say I told you so? Well do not. You will not be right. I told you I have no use for you. Your wishes have been honored and your status as nothing is preserved. Only four of us know the truth and they will take the secret to their graves. I am really too sleepy for this. Goodbye General Ichigawa; truly it has been my honor knowing you and I humbly beg for forgiveness for the ills I have done you. You did not deserve as such. I am a rotten bitch but I have gotten the best.” She said getting more exhausted.
Ichigawa watched heart sick as she fell back and she was already out before her head hit the pillow. He noticed the bag of blood was done and he was horrified at so many things. He ported out and his chest was heaving. His pup was destroying her body and words from long ago taunted him. He fell back against his wall and slid down slowly. Only a few tears fell and he felt utterly out of control again.

Why he could not stop he did not know. The inu was trembling and he was determined to try and reason with her. She was released from the hospital again and she was in her home in the Western Lands. Asuna was lying in a sun room to soak up some sun and she was surprised as hell to see Ichigawa in the sliding glass door opening.
“I see barriers hold no issue for you.” Asuna commented in a barely audible tone.
“I can make a much stronger one.” Ichigawa mumbled.
“Why are you here?” She asked.
“You are dying. I can see. Hell even Tekeshi can see it.” He said flatly.
“I am not dying. Nobu checks me several times a day. I require blood transfusions often. Did you even know her?” She asked too softly but he heard.
“Hai. I knew her.” He said looking down.
“What was she?” The inu princess asked.
“She was a warrior. She fought youkai and she was in part youkai! I never understand how she could hunt down that which she was in part.” He said in disgust.
“You and she were not close?” Asuna inquired.
“No. I was the product of an arranged mating. She did not honor it anyway. She provided my father an heir and she went on about her life. She was good to those she deemed in need and forgot about her inu son. She was bestowed with power so unlike any miko before or since the Shikon miko. Not even Lady Kagome had as much spiritual powers as did she. Hai my mother was simply the most powerful miko to be born. I was just something she had to do.” He said shutting back anger and pain.
“Did she live the life of a miko after you were born?” She asked feeling his pain.
“Hai I am sure of it. She only sought to end the evil as she put it. There was much of it then. She became so hated by most youkai and because I was in part what she was; I was as bad as she.” Ichigawa explained.
“How did you meet Ayana?” She demanded.
“I was young. I was arrogant and needed adventure I thought. We all knew about the warrior goddess known as Ayana the Great. I actually went to find her on my own. She was battling oni often at the time. Her mates Gaku and Jouichi were never home. Her court was wild and licentious. I observed it awhile but she fought beside her mates often. I spied. Like I said; I was young and a fool. I watched her often; perched in a tree, hiding behind boulders. I was superb with barriers and masking, even better then you. She of course being kumo knew something was up and she was getting unnerved by it. I did not realize I was being hunted too.” He said with a sad smile.
“Hai?” She asked rapt.
“One day, I was trying to find her and I was trying to track her when I was happened upon by a rather large kumo in true form. It literally scared the crap out of me. I realized soon that it was her and she sat there and stared at me forever. She finally changed form; she then walked up to me and knocked me on my backside.” Ichigawa said wistfully.
“Who the hell are you to follow me?” She demanded of the rather young inu man.
“I heard you could fight. I wanted to see how a kumo did that.” He smarted off.
“Boy! I have no time for such idiocy! Go home before you mother misses you.” Ayana snorted.
“I have no mother.” Ichigawa said with narrowed eyes.
“I am sorry for you then but that is not my problem. Go away child! I have an empire to run.” She said trying to walk past him.
“Cowardly whore.” He said in passing.
Ichigawa was soon flat on his back having been hit by the said onna. She looked furious and he suddenly grabbed her leg and threw her. Ayana rolled and came up with anger in her brown eyes. The man child smirked at her and she was caught off guard by his beauty. He had an innocence to him that was not normal to a youkai and she shook her head, Nagaharu had the same sort of sweetness and she shoved it away.
“I said go home boy! I have no wish to fight you.” She growled in anger.
“Boo hoo. I heard you were mighty. I heard you keep a harem of men.” He taunted as he pulled his blade.
“The harem no. The mighty hai.” She snorted.
“No harem? So your prowess in the bedroom is exaggerated?” Ichigawa asked almost sweetly.
Ayana sputtered. First he was saying she was a slut and then he was saying she was not but not enough. She was getting highly furious and things tended to break when she was furious. She pulled her fang and began to clash metal with him. The boy had been well taught but she saw holes in his defenses. She exploited them quickly and he was on the ground, on his knees, and bleeding within minutes.
“Do not mar such a cute face!” She chuckled as she patted his cheek.
“You won.” He said almost in disbelief.
“Hai. I would gather that I am a helluva lot older than you are. Go on man child.” Ayana tittered as she tried to walk away.
Ichigawa was too young, brash, and really into fighting. The sparring helped to ease his loneliness that he had to endure. His father was a good man and he had re-mated. He had several younger sibling but they were not like him. No, nobody was like him. He grew angry and sliced her hoary wide open in the back. He did not cut skin but saw her golden tan and it was rather nice to look at.
“Sorry. My blade slipped.” Ichigawa snorted as he sheathed his weapon.
Ayana was in disbelief that the brat had a set. She turned and he was gone. His yoki was ungodly strong but he was so freakishly young. She had no idea who the man child had been but it had been entertaining nonetheless.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She began to expect the crazy boy as she called him. He would quickly spar her and he was getting better. She realized he was using her to train. It miffed her and somewhat excited her that he was so devious with the face of a cherub in her opinion. Sometimes her clothes did not fare so well as he would take cheap shots. Ataru stared at her as she would come in from said spars and he raised a brow at his queen. She ignored it and went on about her business. Jouichi was up to some nonsense again and it made her tired. Jouichi and Gaku also made her tired in all their dealings and maneuverings. They had become quite adept at being consorts and Ayana missed the days when her men gave a shit about her. She of course had her lovers but it was a way of releasing tension. Rutting was fun but making love was gone. She wondered if she made love since Nagaharu. She had her favorites and she had some that she liked a whole hell of a lot. Bihua was someone close to her but she even kept him at arm’s length. She could love distantly but the all consuming and burning desire had died with her soul mate. Part of her insanity over Jouichi came from the fact that he was all she had left of her precious healer and her eldest male child was a man whore to the extreme. So now she bathed and decided a good hunt was in order. She called to Ataru and to let her freakishly protective extended cousin and general know she would be in the forest. He said nothing as usual and she ported to her large funnel deep in the forest. She let down her brown hair and she stiffened visibly.
“You should not come upon a kumo when they are hungry.” She said without turning.
“Oh? You are not afraid of much.” The boy said.
“You should be afraid of more.” Ayana said tersely.
“Uh huh. Sorry I am not. So this is how you all hunt?” He asked smirking.
“Do not be snarky boy.” She stated getting irritated and overly hot.
“I can be whatever the hell I want. Sorry.” He said coldly.
“What is your name?” She demanded.
“What do you want it to be?” He retorted.
“Do not start this crap child! I asked you a question! You stand upon my lands.” She growled.
“Ichigawa. My name is Ichigawa.” He said in a low growl.
“Well Ichigawa by the look of you; you are a Northern inu. I did not think they liked to fight.” Ayana said watching him.
“You know nothing.” He stated suddenly with anger.
“I suppose. I have concerned myself with my own issues. What are your issues?” She asked watching him.
“No words. Fight or I will leave.” Ichigawa said with vehemence.
“No. I am hunting. I want real food and not something done up in my kitchens. Now if you wish to spar then I shall do so later…” She started to say.
She never got the chance to finish when he threw her. The wind was knocked out of her lungs and she gasped heavily. Ayana was astonished but he was fixing to force her into a fight. She grabbed his legs and threw him. His face showed surprise and he was staring up at her golden brown eyes. Ayana briefly saw his mind and he was in anguish; constant and ever present anguish.
“Who are you?” She whispered.
“Nobody! Get off of me.” He hissed.
This man was one of the few not vying for her attention at court and he only wanted to strengthen himself. He used her too but in a very different way.
“Let me hunt and I will train you.” She said softly.
“Why would you do that?” Ichigawa demanded.
“Because you entertain me. Perhaps I will tire of you soon enough. Go away for now and then I will play.” She snorted softly.
“Ok.” The young man snapped as he got out from under her.
Ayana sat there on the ground as she watched him walk away. She had only briefly saw it and the boy was something deep, some mass of swirling pain, and his yoki was barely suppressed. He was also angry. He was hellaciously angry. The young man that was Ichigawa made her curious.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Ichi! You are off today boy! Do not let down your guard for a second.” Ayana snarled at her inu student.
“Could you stop acting like an inu bitch? I swear Ayana; you are so used to ordering everybody around. I am not one of your little kumo brats.” He growled at her.
“We have been at this for months Ichigawa. You are much a finer warrior but you have been sloppy as of late.” She said in irritation.
“My father wrote to me.” He said suddenly.
“He has? He knows where you are?” She asked surprised.
“A little. I had to ask for money you see. He wants me to come home and mate. Imagine me mating at one hundred six?” Ichigawa snorted.
“Oh.” She said unable to fathom her little warrior away.
“So because he mated for duty then I am expected to do the same. My mother was a monster and I am a pariah but he found me a nice mindless and docile bitch that will tolerate my status.” He said in bitterness.
“I do not understand Ichigawa.” She said confused.
“I shall tell you a secret! Would you like to know a secret?” He said in a condescending tone.
“Surely.” Ayana said watching him.
“I am the son of a miko.” He said bowing.
“What? How would that be possible? Their blood would purify a pup.” She said in disbelief.
“Not if said miko was hanyou. I am a dirty you see. I have a quarter ningen in me but enough it taints me for normal inu. I can only mate another insipid Northern inu. Make more little freaks of the youkai world.” He said in anger.
Ayana stared at the unusual man and he was so angry and so full of wrath. She had no clue what could have happened to make him so bitter.
“Midoriko.” He said out loud.
“That creature is dangerous to us all.” Ayana said hissing.
“That creature bore a son before she abandoned him to fight us youkai. I was too demonic for her.” He said shaking in rage.
“Are you serious?” She asked stunned.
“Quite. So now you see; I have to know how to fight because if it is known and it has been known, I am the scourge of the youkai world. A hanyou miko who hunts and kills youkai? She is the most powerful miko the Kamis ever made and I call her mom. So how is your son?” Ichigawa asked in sarcasm.
He made a noise and he threw his weapon away. He walked into the forest and she only stood there stunned. Never before had she met such a creature. The Northern inu were secretive and clannish. The Western inu were brasher and well known but the North; no nobody knew anything and the canines kept it that way. She now knew why but it boggled her mind.
“Ichigawa?” She called softly.
“I should go home Ayana. You have actually been great to me. I actually like coming here and sparring you. Makes me feel normal and you do not treat me like anything other than an annoying boy. I have seen you fight with that son of yours and I think it is great. I would have been honored to have you as a mother; I think he will realize it later.” He said as a single tear fell down his face.
Ayana suddenly kissed him and he was startled. The kiss that started out as lip on lip became passionate really fast and their mouths scorched the other. She had trouble focusing as his lips burned her skin. She felt his soft mouth everywhere; her cheeks, forehead, and throat. Her soft cries were escalating and she was out of control way too fast. Ichigawa unleashed and when done so; he was an animal almost. He was starved and he devoured. Hands were buried in hair as tongue licked a path down her neck. He ripped open her haori and kosode with savage want and she yelped in a passionate haze. She had been sparring him for many months and never once had they crossed that line. His mouth found a breast and her soulful cry made him growl wildly. He nibbled and bit her tit and she was gasping in and out for sanity. This young man; this inu was consuming her senses totally and she jerked her head side to side as he began to nip her skin more.
“Ichi.” She cried breathlessly.
“Do not call me that.” He growled out.
“Huh?” She asked in a confused lust.
“I am a man Ayana. I know you think me a boy but I am a man.” He said forcefully.
“Then call me Yana.” She gasped as he slipped two fingers into her.
His thumb toyed with her clit and he fingers thrust short and sharp within her. He began to lick at her mouth again and her inner balance was thrown off as his wicked fingers scraped sensitive onna’s flesh. Ichigawa hungrily kissed her mouth again and she screamed wildly into his lip lock as something bled into her nub. She was shaking out of control and every kumo sense was tripped. Ayana was thrown into free fall and she could not breathe. The queen of the combined kumo grasped at her lover before falling out completely. Her orgasm ripped from her and she flooded his hand as she sagged totally. Ichigawa only breathed hard against her neck as he attempted to recover his senses. His own climax had taken him by surprise as the connection he had been basic and through his empathy. Never before had he touched an onna like this and he knew it wrong. She was mated and he was just a mere inu low noble. He looked at her web and he decided to try and situate her. Ichigawa ported inside the cramped space and he carefully let her fall. He ported out before Ayana woke up and things went stupid.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Ayana! Are you even listening?” Gaku stated in intense irritation.
“Huh?” She asked then met his black eyes.
“I have been trying to get you to sign this law! Damn it onna.” He muttered.
“Do you forget who is queen?” Ayana asked.
“No my dear. I do not forget but it takes management to run this vast empire you have acquired. You are off on some new conquest whilst your two consorts actually manage it.” The elder brother and consort asked.
“New conquest? What do you mean by that?” She snarled.
“Oh Ayana. You may be a jorogumo but you think us men so dumb. Play your games my sweet. I know how you are.” He said in anger.
“What happened to us Gaku?” She asked suddenly.
“I am not Nagaharu. At least he had your heart whilst you fucked around. We only have our titles.” He said snappishly and he left.
Ayana stared at the door and he was right. She had tried and at first it had been good. Now she just ached and it was constant. She saw a shadow across the hall and Jouichi was up to something again.
“Gaku Jouichi! I swear boy if you leave this palace!” She screamed.
So started another of her many evenings of familial bliss. She left in a rage after having beat her son. Jouichi had the temerity to laugh at her as she tried to discipline him. She shrieked in rage as she stormed from her own palace and she brought her fang. Ichigawa still came around but nothing else had occurred. She was in a mood and she found him quickly enough. She was used to the sight of the beautiful brown inu. His true form was exquisite and they had actually slept next to each other in their true forms. The trust it took to do that with another species was extraordinary and her Ichi as she called him was her dearest friend. She trusted him above any male kumo. They sparred wildly and Ichigawa could sense her pain. She never said a word and he realized that she too suffered. Whatever it was she had equal parts pain and their battle was long. She had trained him well and he was checking his own teacher. Ayana was soon sobbing and he stopped.
“Tell me.” He demanded.
“No. You said you were leaving soon. When?” Ayana said wiping her eyes.
“Two days.” Ichigawa stated.
“I see. When you go, you take my happiness with you. I am so glad you found me Ichi. I must go.” She said silently crying harder.
“Yana stop!” He said with a heavy heart.
“No. I must not let tender feelings enter in. I am a cold as stone ruler. I have no room for emotions. I am only to be used for favors and prestige. My heart is dead Ichigawa and this little bit of exercise has given me more happiness than I have felt in so long. You are a wonderful man and I have been blessed to know such perfect sweet. I pray you find some measure of relief from your pain. I know not all the reasons but perhaps it does not truly matter, eh? You feel it, so It is real. Bless you my sweet man. Have a good life.” She said walking by him and she kissed his cheek.
Ichigawa felt as though he had been stabbed and he grabbed her arm. She was stiff and her weeping was greater.
“You left!” She yelled out.
“I have never done anything like it before.” He whispered.
“What? Never?” Ayana asked turning.
“No.” Ichigawa admitted.
“Never?” She asked in disbelief.
“I know you are kumo but hai! Never! Listen onna.” He said embarrassed.
“I thought that and you did and holy hell boy!” She said sputtering almost in amusement.
“You did not need to tell me it was not good.” He said blushing furiously.
“What? You thought that? Are you insane?” She asked palming his cheek.
“You passed out onna.” He said redder then she had ever seen a person.
“Ichigawa, I passed out because it was so utterly wonderful.” Ayana stated brushing his lips with her thumb.
“Oh.” Ichigawa blushed prettily.
“I did not get to return the favor.” She said huskily.
“I felt yours I think. I had a release.” He said barely audible.
“You did?” His kumo said shocked.
“Hai. Can we not talk about it?” The poor young man said hopelessly mortified.
“Did touching a kumo mortify you so?” She asked getting hurt.
“It is not that! I and I have no experience! I have not touched an onna before because I know not what I will do, okay?” Ichigawa said sputtering.
“Then touch me.” She implored him.
“Why?” He asked trembling.
“Because you need it and so do I.” She actually smiled.
Ichigawa suddenly found himself being walked backwards and his back hit a tree. He gasped as she began to urgently jerk at his hakama ties.
“Yana? What are you doing?” Ichigawa said trying to find oxygen.
“Want you. I need you Ichi. Fuck!” She snarled as she finished ripping his silk.
She bared his skin and he blushed again. She groaned as she took him in and he was lovely as she had seen. He was younger then Jouichi but she did not care. She leaned against him and she felt the weight of his sac and rolled his stones. The young inu was panting out as she touched him.
“Do you know that you are so beautiful?” She asked growling in lust.
“No.” He said almost afraid.
“Ichi. Kamis you are so fucking beautiful.” She said sliding down his body.
“Yana?” He moaned as she began to kiss his length.
“Hai. So beautiful. So good. Ichigawa watch me!” She commanded fiercely.
His silvery-grey orbs were wide and she began to lick at him. The onna who had become something so cherished to him lovingly sucked at his length and he was groaning out crazily. For her part, Ayana was getting absolutely insane with her desire and plain want for him. She adjusted her mouth and she began to mouth him urgently. He was groaning and growling above her but he still watched. She switched actions and skimmed lips down his length and she used her tongue tip to trace one node and she heard his claws score the tree. Ayana loved it and she sucked it into her hot mouth. The action obliterated him and he was crying out shortly and begging. His words though urgent were filled with emotion and she realized need. The kumo queen stared up at him and his now red eyes locked with hers.
“Will you trust me? Will you trust me that I will never hurt you?” Ayana asked stroking him slowly.
“Hai. I trust you. I totally trust you.” He whispered.
“Let yourself go. I will help you end.” Her voice soothingly said.
She saw him try to relax and her hand tightened around him enough. His weeping cock helped her glide effortlessly up and down his shaft. Ichigawa was shifting and groaning wildly as she worked his cock. She was torn between wanting to drink him or kiss his mouth as he came. She decided she had time and she stood up. She drove her tongue into his mouth as she stroked him harder. Ichigawa was hearing a roaring sound and he realized it was his blood pumping harder. His body became utterly tense and he felt so much. He felt her and he was gasping. His balls drew up as the most incredible bliss stole through him. Ayana moaned greedily against his mouth as she felt the liquid inferno on her hand and she was growling. She felt a weak bit of his yoki and it was such pleasant warmth. It made her want so much more.
“Better?” She asked in his elfin ear.
“Hai.” He breathed.
“Ichigawa.” Ayana said lifting her hand and slowly licked it clean.
“Oh.” He said with wide eyes.
“Kami I want you so badly. I want you.” She said kissing him with such hunger.
Ichigawa was caught up in the amazing kiss and he felt her words. She truly wanted him and what she was feeling made him turn red to his roots. She only kissed him with abandon and she made up her mind to have him slowly. She would work up to more. This young man was worth it she thought. She had time.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ayana was in her dojo working with Ataru and Jouichi was there too and he was gossiping with another courtier. She rolled her eyes and she struck Ataru’s blade. He jumped and stuck to the wall and she made a clucking sound.
“You are ruthless General Ataru.” She said laughing.
“I win.” He said blandly.
“I know! You keep my borders very well. Now I am for a bath and Jouichi?” She called.
“Hai Mother?” He asked annoyed.
“No more onna this week my dear. I am sick to hear you know not to pull out.” She snorted as she walked out of her dojo.
Her eldest son sputtered and he jumped up. He followed after her and he was angry. She had been spending more and more time away from Matsuyame and he suddenly slammed his own mother against the wall.
“Where are you going?” Jouichi asked.
“Unhand me son.” She growled.
“I want to know where my mother is going.” He snarled.
“I am going to bathe in an onsen and I am going to hunt! I am your mother and your queen!” Ayana snarled.
“Hai you are both but I am also your heir. You are my beloved mother and I will not lose you because my father and his brother scheme!” He hissed in her ear.
Ayana stiffened and she looked back at her son. Their eyes met and she squashed the feelings she felt around him. There was such a powerful connection to him and it unnerved her but she also had killed several of his old lovers. He never knew but she could not stomach the idea of knowing his whores.
“What do you mean?” She demanded.
“I mean watch your back Mother. You are in danger.” He whispered heavily in her ear.
“Who?” She hissed softly.
“Lansoh is making noises and she has been seen in my father’s company. I thought you should know.” He said kissing her ear.
Jouichi pulled away and her chest heaved. Her chief consort was conspiring against her and she felt her stomach bottom out. She was blinded by tears and she ported to the forests outside of Matsuyame. She found Ichigawa and he had not left. She was weeping and she fell into his arms as he held her.
“I am going to have to kill my own mate.” She said crying into his shoulder.
“What? Why?” He asked astonished.
“They conspire against me. I get angry against Jouichi but he is mine! He is my son and he is my blood. Gaku is not his father; my beloved Nagaharu was.” She said crying inconsolably.
“Who was Nagaharu?” Ichigawa asked.
“He was my first mate and the only man I had truly loved with my whole heart. It was the beginning of my kingdom and he was pure, he was young, and he was unsullied by all this bullshit! He was a healer. He was killed by fucking ningen.” Ayana admitted.
“I am so sorry Yana. My father has sent inu to look for me.” He said in her hair.
“You cannot leave me!” She cried.
“Ayana, I have to go home. I have been so happy too you know. I will cherish this. You have made me feel so good about even being alive.” He said clutching her.
They had not had intercourse but they had explored the other. She had shown him how it was supposed to be and they knew that their being lovers was dangerous. They had not crossed the technical line and she forced his lips to hers. She was kissing him with sadness and longing. Ichigawa did not want to go but his sire was a younger brother of Lord Takuma. He was missed and his father had been making excuses for him. Ichigawa suddenly cried out as he felt something so totally different and it made him fall to his knees.
“What did you do?” He asked trying to suck in air.
“If you are leaving me then I will make love to you. I will not rut but I will show you what it is I feel.” She said with unashamed tears.
“Ayana! Oh shit!” Ichigawa screamed out.
“It is my venom. You trust me?” She asked desperately.
“Hai! Hai!” He said clawing the ground.
His cock was so hard and rigid. He could feel it too intensely and he was dizzy. Ayana had him laid out flat and she was ripping open his clothes. Her mouth made a hot path across his throat and down his chest as she latched on the way he liked to do to her. He had not realized that his own flat nipples were so sensitive and she was sucking crazily. She stroked him whilst her hot mouth burned his skin. He never stopped groaning or crying out as his kumo lover touched and worshipped him. She brought him to the brink of orgasm several times but did not let him come. His snarls were animal and he was needy. She fell to her back and he pounced on her. Ichigawa pressed his hard body against hers and she stared at his ragged features. He bore a small cross marking on his forehead and he was so tenderly beautiful.
“I need you!” She screamed out as his fingers sought.
“Hai! I love you Ayana, I love you!” Ichigawa snarled as he fell against her.
Ichigawa sank into her fiery depths and he shook as his first time within an onna undid him. He hooked her leg in his arm and he moved. Their lips sought over and over as he pulled back and resunk his flesh into hers. Her claws scored him repeatedly and she was arching and jerking her head side to side when not ravishing his mouth or feeling his tongue. Nothing else mattered but this moment to either of them. The young inu man and the kumo queen were spiraling together towards Nirvana and neither cared what the other was. She only knew she was in complete and utter love again. She gasped harder and harder as Ayana felt her body clench. Her inner kumo lost it and she jerked his jaw aside. She sank her fangs in so deeply as to leave a mating mark on this man she adored with her whole soul. Ichigawa made the deepest and most mournful sound she had ever heard and her reddened eyes widened as his own fangs marked her in return at the height of their bliss. His gold energies bathed them both as his seed filled her fully. Ichigawa was losing his own conscious mind as her muscles spasmed around him and he completely blacked out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Her beloved did go home and he did mate the proper bitch but he stole away and often. Their meetings were hugely secret and the love making intense as they did whatever it meant to be together. Ayana was against a boulder as her lover and heart took her from behind and she clawed at the rock. Ichigawa’s words scorched her ears as he thrust with abandon into his soul mate. They were both mated for duty but this was love.
“Harder! Harder Ichi. Oh fuck harder!” She snarled.
“Yana. Hai. Hai.” He said losing his mind to his first mate.
Ayana heard him grunt loudly as his yoki and seed spilled deep in her. It took her all to stay awake but she had learned to take it. His finals thrusts put her over again and she moaned out as he finished.
“Do you touch her?” She asked softly.
“I have to occasionally Yana. I have to appear as if I am mated to her. She knows I do not love her.” He said softly.
“She does not love you either.” Ayana said bitterly.
“No.” He said sighing as he stared up.
“When is your pup supposed to be born?” His love asked in a pain filled voice.
“Five months.” He said softly.
“Do not do to him what has been done to you. Love him even if you do not love his mother.” She said wiping her tears away.
“Ayana please do not do this.” Ichigawa cried.
“I know responsibility Ichi. I do it every day. I know we are forbidden but it does not stop my want. Do you understand? It does not stop my dreams of being able to lie beside you every day. It does not negate my wish to have a child by you! It does not stop my hate of her for not realizing what a special and wonderful man you are!” She said as the pain made her throat ache.
“Ayana, I am nobody compared to you. A minor noble and no more. I am also the son of a horrible onna.” He said in an anguished tone.
“She is not horrible. She is deluded. She is convinced that all youkai are evil. She must hate the half of her that is as well. I see often enough. It is why Nagaharu was killed. The ningen did not understand that we kumo can be as gentle as they but we look fierce some in our other forms and so they fear us. They imagine we are monsters and so they make us be that way. Never say you are nobody! You are my everything besides my children. You and they are the only things that matter to me.” She said cupping his cheek.
“I love you.” He whispered.
“I love you.” Ayana whispered back.
Their stolen moments were too short and always broke their hearts. They still did it anyway.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ichigawa stood by and he could not believe what the healer told him. His mate had gone to sleep and she simply had not woken up. The pup and she were both dead and the smell of burnt flesh could be tasted in the air. He had been sick and he realized that his mate had been slowly purified by his own pup. His father had been horrified and he was stumbling back. Takuma even stared at him as if he was some sort of monster. He had fled to find his love and he found her. Ichigawa had wept in her arms and guilt had ate him alive. Ayana shielded her own state simply because he would have freaked. She could not tell him that his other child resided in her womb. She had even gone to her own mother; the Jorogumo elder, Asa. She had fallen to her knees and begged her to help her. She begged her mother to help this babe be born. The old kumo had held her youngest daughter and wept with her. Ayana was fortified with much and ancient barriers around her child but it protected her body from the same fate as Ichigawa’s official mate. She kept the truth from him for now because he felt such horrible guilt.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
R 20;I know Ayana.” She heard the following day as she signed legislation.
“Pardon me?” Ayana asked as she looked up.
She stared at Gaku with barely contained hate. He stared at her with the same.
“I know you have been fucking some inu, an inu!” He snarled.
“So?” She asked raising a brow.
“Disgusting harlot! You could at least pretend to have a little decorum in your fuck buddies but a fucking, Kamis damn mutt?” Gaku said with fury.
“What twists your hakama the most Gaku? The fact that he is inu or the fact I prefer him over you?” She asked cruelly.
“You whore!” He said actually knocking her in the face.
Ayana lifted her head and she stared at him with malice. His eyes were red and he was in a rage. She was not prepared for his next move. He grabbed her long, silky brown hair and he stunned her with his venom. It was the only way to keep her immobile and she was horrified as her own consort ripped open her kimono. He shoved himself into her over and over as he spewed his hate filled words. Ayana screamed out as he raped her brutally and he kicked her.
“Fuck you Ayana Agelina! You filthy fucking whore. Ataru has already attacked the North with the command to find him and kill him. I will have him put on a table before all the kumo and he will be dissected slowly and I will cut his dick off myself. I loved you!” He said in hate.
Ayana was slowly moving and she was sobbing in anger and her own hate. She lifted her hand and Gaku saw it too late. She flung her Supaida Nami at him full force and it was a miracle he survived.
“Never fucking touch me again! I am a jorogumo! Never fucking touch me again!” She shrieked.
Soldiers ran in and they saw the state of their queen and the status of her consort. Ayana was gasping and she had to find Ichigawa. She was sobbing as blood ran down her legs and she covered herself. Jouichi the Younger ran in and he saw his mother bloody.
“Take Gaku to the cellars and charge him with treason!” She snarled.
“Mother?” Her heir asked.
“DO IT!” Ayana shrieked again like a lunatic.
Bihua was there and he stared at her in horror. She was shaking and not in her right mind. She only knew she had to find Ichigawa. She had to find the man she loved. Gaku said he had been attacked and she saw Ataru as she passed.
“You betrayed me!” She said staring at his cold green eyes.
“I saved you.” He said unemotionally.
She backhanded him so hard he went flying. Jouichi walked her out and the kingdom was in chaos. Lansoh was arrested for high treason as well and things were happening too fast. Ayana could barely function and she depended upon her long time lover and her son Jouichi. Things were happening and it was all falling apart.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
He had spoken but the floodgates were open. She was on her side and she was gasping in and out as he held her arm.
“Oh Kami. Ichigawa.” She said with wide eyes and horror.
“What is it?” The soft spoken general asked.
“I saw. I saw it.” She cried as the tears fell.
“No.” He said rising.
“She did not tell you she lost the pup. You never knew.” She said getting sick to her stomach.
“Stop it!” He said biting his hand to fight back his emotions.
“What did Ataru do?” Asuna asked in so much pain.
“What did you see?” Ichigawa asked stuttering.
“Gaku raped her. She was fixing to execute him and Lady Lansoh for treason. They went behind her back to attack the North. They used you and Ayana’s relationship as an excuse to try and take power.” She choked on the sobs.
“Oh Kami. Oh Kami. It was better when I thought she left me. Oh shit.” He said falling back and held his stomach.
“She was carrying your pup fine. Asa put barriers up around the babe to seal in its yoki. She was so brutally raped that he was killed.” She said holding her belly.
“Stop it!” He said rocking back and forth.
“Ichigawa!” She said reaching for him.
“Do you not see? I am the reason! She is dead because of me. The fighting and the outbreaks were because of me!” He said shaking his head and unable to reason well.
“The Ramanga riled up the ningen near Matsuyame. She was probably weak from the miscarriage. It was not your fault!” She said weeping too.
“He told me that she found me amusing. He said she was sending me a message and that my services were no longer required.” Ichigawa said through his own tears.
“You saw the devastation and believed him. You had faced enough tragedy and you did not believe anything good happened for long.” Asuna wept too.
He nodded and he laid his head against her leg and wept like a small child. Both of them wept and she laid her head back against the pillow of her leather chaise lounge and sobbed with mournful cries.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She had fallen asleep with Ichigawa leaning his head against her leg. Both had wept themselves into exhaustion and Tekeshi stood in the door of her small castle and could not for the life of him understand why his very good friend and distant relative was here. He could “feel” the residual emotions in the room like they were a weight and he was utterly bewildered.
“Aijou? Ichigawa?” He asked softly.
“My lord?” Ichigawa asked lifting his head.
Asuna did not respond and Tekeshi was concerned. Ichigawa looked panicked and her hand fell limply down.
“Aijou? Aijou?” Tekeshi said yelling.
“My lord! I will call her healer.” He said jumping up and running to a phone.
She was barely breathing and her skin was ashen. Ichigawa was certain that the answer lied in the old jorogumo Asa. He called Nobu and the famed healer appeared immediately. He made a noise of anguish and he picked her up and ported with her to the hospital.
“Ichigawa are you coming?” Tekeshi demanded.
“No my lord. I have something to see to.” He said bowing.
Ichigawa ported to Kinki. He was leery and he knew these ancient kumo were powerful. He peaked in the caves and he heard humming.
“Well Ichigawa. You come after all this time.” He heard from the dark.
“I believed she left me.” He said choking.
“Perhaps she did. What do you want?” Asa asked coming forward.
The jorogumo came forward and her hair hung black nearly to the floor. Her skin was deathly white and her normally brown eyes were red.
“You are ekimmu.” He said suddenly.
“I am a kumo. I was a contemporary of those beasts. We have been around as long as they but we were not stupid.” She said in contempt.
“My lady.” He said falling to his knee.
“You wish what?” She asked coldly.
“My pup is killing her. I only wish to have her alive. I do not deserve her but please, your yoki was saving her before. Do it again. Not for me but for her.” Ichigawa pleaded.
Asa’s eyes slowly changed back to brown. She looked at the poor young man and he was weeping again.
“She loved you and you gave her such happiness near the end. She was betrayed by that beast Gaku. I killed him you know. It is said he was killed in the battle of Matsuyame but it is not so. I killed him for raping my Ayana.” Asa said coldly.
“What did you do?” He asked looking up.
“I did to him what he intended to do to you. I made it so that Ataru died as well. He better never show himself to me again or I will kill him as that hollow beast as well.” She said in her sing song tone.
“The Ramanga stirred up the ningen?” He asked stifling his anguish.
“Hai.” She said lifting her chin.
“Who are you Lady Asa?” He asked stunned.
“One of Izanagi bastards. He did not want us and so I made my way.” She said looking at him.
“Lady Asuna was…” Ichigawa started to say.
“My sister.” She said flatly.
“Oh my Kami.” He said stumbling back.
“When Gwydion had her soul recycled; several of us sheltered her. Our fucking creator if you will got wind of it a couple of times. Ayille did too. I loved her as she held no retarded prejudices. She was good and she was honorable. She paid the price for honor. When she was born to me; I wept. I prayed and tried to protect and nourish her soul to fruition but the end. The end destroyed her nearly. You were her second soul mate as Ayana. She wanted that babe so badly. She fell to her knees and begged me to let her have it. She wanted him so much. She wanted to have him with her and you beside her as Nagaharu should have been. She loved your son as much as she loved Jouichi.” She whispered cupping her face.
“Does the ekimmu know you still exist?” Ichigawa asked choking.
“No. I help when I can but if need be then so it shall be. I am only a younger and inferior sister.” She smirked a fangy smile.
“I bed you Lady Asa. I beg you.” He wept.
“I shall go. You must return to your life General Ichigawa.” She said softly.
“I swear I will never touch her again. I only wish her well.” He said choking back more emotion.
“Perhaps it is time you came out so to speak and let it be known why you have always managed to survive and be safe. Perhaps your abilities can be used against Bilae. Stop this evil from happening!” Asa demanded.
His eyes were wide but she was quickly gone. He ported himself and he appeared at Yamasaki General.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nobu stepped back and he was petrified. There stood one onna who managed to scare the ever loving hell out of most kumo men. Asa stepped to Asuna and cupped her cheeks. She kissed her lips softly and several of her mates were there. Nobu was freaking but he had said he did not think she would live the day. Naraku, Ishin, Gwydion, Chang, and several more were near.
“Asa?” Gwydion said utterly shocked.
“Hello.” She smirked at the ekimmu.
“Holy hell. How is it you are here?” The blond ekimmu asked.
“I was born here stupid.” Asa laughed her lilting laugh.
“Do you know each other?” Naraku demanded.
“Hai. I know him well. Hello big brother.” She smirked.
“You! You helped her soul!” He cried out.
“Hai. Why would I not? You and Arianrhod did not shun me nor my other siblings.” She said with a wistful smile.
“Ayana! You were her mother?” Gwydion asked.
“Hai. Hai and our sire is an arrogant and careless maker. He cares not about the evil. He only cares for his own greatness.” She said in hatred.
“Okay this fucking freaky.” Ishin said shocked.
“Be quiet Ishin.” She commanded.
“Hai mam.” He said shutting up.
“I am going to help her now.” She said holding her and her body was bathed in a huge amount of yoki.
Most had to cover their eyes and when the yoki dissipated; Asuna was on the bed and Asa was gone. Gwydion was shocked at how powerful little Asa had become. He stared at his mate and she was coming to.
“Asuna!” Nobu cried.
“Oh! I feel better a little bit.” She mumbled.
“Oh my Kamis.” The healer said shocked stupid.
“Asa?” She asked gently.
“Hai.” He nodded.
“Thank you mother.” She whispered out and she shut her eyes.
“Who is the father?” Gwydion demanded.
“No one.” Asuna retorted.
“Aijou please! This nearly killed you. Not even Hana’s birth did this to you.” Tekeshi said in anger.
“I am the sire.” They all heard from the door.
“Ichigawa?” Naraku said taken aback.
“Hai. Lady Asuna has covered up for me. I am the sire and she should not have to do this alone.” He said with a bowed head.
“How is it your pup is doing this?” His friend and lord said trembling.
“Ichigawa stop.” Asuna commanded.
“No. Asa is right. I have cowered for so long. I will never forgive myself. I will never forgive the fact she died thinking I did not love her. Lady Ayana was my mate.” He announced.
“Oh shit.” Ishin said with wide eyes.
“Do tell.” The dark hanyou said with crossed arms.
“Near the end.” The inu said in shame.
“Ichigawa it does not matter anymore! You are you in this life. I forced him. I used my empusae yoki when he told me no. I was affected by old memories and I dishonored myself and him. I am sorry.” She implored him.
“She did not force me. I have known who she is since the Siege of Tianjin. I never said anything because you my lord were in love with her. I did not know and then I found out she had lived again and I never knew.” He said with a thin voice.
“Ichigawa, why did you not say anything?” Tekeshi said shocked.
“Because I thought she had abandoned me. I thought her kingdom meant more. I had grown to hate her. I hated the love of my life and could not bear to feel anything.” Ichigawa said hoarsely.
“Stop.” Asuna said with tears forming.
“I am the natural son of the miko Midoriko. I hid it because of what she was. I hid it because I was hated. I became nothing and a no one to hide my shameful mother. She was a hero to the ningen and I accept that but she murdered youkai. Ayana was the first person who looked at me for me and not who my parent was.” He said looking up.
Nobody could say anything and even Tekeshi was dazed, stunned, surprised, and scandalized. Ichigawa was simply one of the strongest youkai known and he had hidden it so well.
“Forgive me in my cowardice. Being invisible made life bearable. She remembered a little when I showed up to get Hana’s blanket. I did not want her to remember as she is also a different person this life. It was a mistake that she has been trying to cover up. I allowed too much to happen and memories to consume me. I beg your forgiveness my lord and her mates. She does not belong to me but I pray that I be allowed to see my pup. The Kamis know I have done nothing to deserve it.” He said bowing low and he stepped back.
He ported away before one word could be spoken and Asuna’s eyes were shut as tears flowed freely. Gwydion felt rage and pity at the same time. Naraku could say nothing and Ishin was just entranced with the whole thing. Tekeshi was actually angry that Ichigawa had hid everything from him and he too ported out.
“You and she will be okay now.” Nobu muttered.
“Hai.” She said weakly.
“I think enough drama has played out. You need rest and we need to confer about moves that we will be making with or without you koi. Get your shit together.” Naraku said coldly.
She was stunned at his words and he ported out via his miasma. Slowly everyone drifted away and Gwydion stayed. He stared at her with mixed feelings.
“What?” She snarled.
“Thinking is all. If he is who he says he is then he need not be away from your sphere. You need to cultivate that man to our cause. You should have said something!” he hissed.
“Like you say things?” Asuna hissed back.
“I tell you as they come up. You have so many lifetimes that bombard you. You should have said something.” He yelled.
“Well it is out now! You have no idea what it meant for him. She was considered the greatest miko ever and to have that stigma over his head when he is a youkai! It just was not done back then, do you understand?” She wept.
“Yes! I understand because my beloved wife and mate broke all manner of traditions, remember? I would have understood!” He said trembling in anguished fury.
“Where are you going?” She asked with a breaking voice.
“Your frère gets more trust then me. He knew did he not? That fucking murdering piece of shit bastard knew!” He said clenching his fists.
“He is my frère!” She said with a weak snarl.
“How good of a queen you have become. Well Asuna…lord over your little kingdom. You obviously have no use for your lawful mates. He is fucking frère!” Gwydion said in hateful anger.
“He is more than a fucking frère you arrogant piece of shit! He is a good man who was influenced by that whore!” She said defending Kameron.
“We do this again. We do it all over again.” He raged.
Gwydion slammed her down on the bed when she tried to get up and his mouth covered hers. He was holding her brutally and it was slowly out of control. His mouth dominated and guided hers. She was fighting to stay within reality and he ripped himself away.
“You will have this baby and you will give me another. You will give me a daughter and I want that frère to watch as I make you full of my child. I want Coventina back! I want my baby girl that he stole. You owe me.” He said so coldly.
“Do not tell me…: She started to snarl.
“Do not tell me you will not. I am not leaving. I have come too far and you have given me a son. You will give me my daughter and then I may forgive you.” He said almost madly.
Asuna shrank back almost in fear because his eyes were green and his aura lit up. He phased away and she was shaking in the emotional overload.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The chaos in the family was not helping their cause as they called it. Ayille woke up and she blinked as she took in her surroundings.
“Great. Fucking wasteland Hueco Mundo.” She said in anger.
“Shut up. You live after your little idiotic stunt. Your old frère is well ensconced and that baby is never left alone. He knows you want to dismember it.” Bilae said bored.
“That is personal. What has happened?” She asked as she stood.
“Well your little fiasco cost us time. So I have been lying quiet. I am also horny.” He said pouting.
She rolled her eyes and she was naked. She came and sat in his lap as he sank her down on his girth. He grabbed her neck tightly and began a harsh pace.
“You forget what we have done together. You used to love me that ardently Ayille. What happened?” He demanded in anger in her ear.
“You died.” She said disgusted.
“I see. So I died and you thought it meant forever? You stupid bitch.” He said coldly.
He jerked her off of him and she hit solid stone. Something went through her and she cried out. The body of the former heir of Maec stalked forward. He twisted a nipple cruelly. She screamed in ecstasy as blood ran down her chest.
“You want to be punished?” Bilae demanded in her ear.
“Yeees!” Ayille screamed.
“You forgot what I did to you and you whined for your poor fucking frère.” He said jerking her forward.
Bilae had a leather strap and he whipped her back. She began to scream as the strip left bloody welts. The lash crisscrossed her back and her legs as he doled out the torture. Soon he used his booted foot to kick her to the side. She was gasping in air and she was close to becoming a gushing slut.
“Say it! Say it whore!” He shouted at her.
“I want your cock! Give it to me! You bastard!” Ayille snarled in her Ramanga voice.
“Then fucking choke on it!” He said shoving his dick down her throat.
His eyes rolled back and she loved it. Bilae was fucking her mouth mercilessly and he roared as he spurted his seed down her wretched throat. She groaned like the whore she was and he pulled back. She was red faced and she could barely breathe. The reborn ekimmu began to stroke his cock hard to get him ready for round two. He shoved her ass cheeks apart and shoved himself inside of her. The Ramanga queen screamed and screamed. It was music to his ears as he violated her body for her enjoyment. He could not remember sex being this satisfying with her in a long time. He soiled her wounds and fucked her till she was in a pool of her own blood.
“Good girl. Oh you actually felt good.” He said falling beside her and her blood made a liquid squish sound.
“Oh hell.” Ayille whispered still rocking from the pain and pleasure.
“I love you Ayille. For what that is worth; I know you as no other. I can make you scream like the cunt you are. Never whine about that pathetic frère again nor nearly cost us our goals!” He said spitting in her face.
“Yes my master.” She whispered almost reverently.
“Now suck my cock.” He commanded.
The Ramanga queen did as she was bid and she bit him several times. The reborn ekimmu withered in his own agony but his own end was perfect. He just needed to make Ayille see that the little players were nothing. They had to take out the major powers. They had to take out Gwydion, Arawn, and Arianrhod. Even the dog daemon known as Sesshomaru posed a major problem. They took out the major players then they stood at the gates.

Captain General was agitated highly. He stood up and he quickly went to his office alone. He changed form to his normal form and he ported over to Seagaia.
“Kaimei!” he yelled in his booming voice.
“What do you wish Teruyoshi?” He demanded as he stepped out of his small castle.
“It has come to my attention that a ningen soul was returned. Who did it?” Teru asked in fury.
“I did.” Kaimei said standing his full height.
“You know it is forbidden! You and your blasted family are done. Over!” He said coldly.
“You threaten me?” The Hasegawa asked.
“Hai. I threaten you. Why would you do such a thing??” The demi-kami asked.
“Because in some small measure it would make her happy. I am a fool but I still love her. It made her child thrilled and it made her happy too. So I did so. Hai. I am a fool and I love a kami. You have done nothing for Soul Society in my opinion and the king really does not care either.” Kaimei stated with arms crossed.
Kaito was actually home for once and he heard the words spoken by his eldest brother. The leader of the Tomoshibi had done something naughty! What Kaito did not expect was that Teru would react. The resulting blast of yoki was horrible and the younger man did step out. He was sickened to see Hasegawa Kaimei on the ground and bleeding out. Teru slid his twin zanpakuto back into its sheath. He heard screams and Hikari, Kizaki, and the twins ran out to see the leader slowly dying.
“Remember this the next time you break the rules of Soul Society.” He said with a frown.
“You bastard!” Hikari screamed.
“You have been warned. You all have been warned. This is her fate, do not join her.” Teruyoshi said coldly.
“How could you?” Kaito snarled.
“How could you? You unleashed monsters upon my people! The ningen are mine!” He said with hate.
Kaimei spirit particles were parting and Hikari was screaming in fury. She suddenly unleashed a weapon of light and Kaito stood in front of his niece/daughter. She was screaming as her real father began to fade away.
“I will never serve you! I will never! NEVER!” She screamed and bloody tears fell down her face.
“The time of the youkai is over. The ningen rule the world and it is high time all accept that. They were monsters and did not deserve this world they were given and so it is my duty to see to it that they are slowly eradicated.” The Captain Commander said with finality.
Kaito was shocked and Hikari did maneuver around Kaito. She went to attack Teru and he whirled on her and choked her to the ground.
“I am not a normal shinigami little girl and you do not have the power to defeat me. Tell your mother; tell her that her days are numbered.” He said and let her go.
He walked away and Hikari beat the ground with her fists as Kaito stood there in utter shock. He had thought the whole time that the enemy lay just in Bilae and Ayille. Now he wondered how far the king would go to allow Arianrhod’s side to “win”. He realized that the real enemy was not the dark ekimmu but Soul Society itself. He was sick and the cries of Hikari rent the air as dusk settled on the outskirts of the Rukongai.
