Rebellion of the Wicked

The dark hanyou stared at the witch before him and he shocked Sanra by appearing in front of her. His diamond like armor came up and she snarled out as she punched and battered. So much happened in so little time but Naraku was in no mood. He elongated his fingers and they went straight through her but she began to heal at the rate of a Ramanga.

“You have taken in so much blood of so many that you steal their yoki.” He said in realization.

“Oh my how you are brilliant.” She smirked.

“Same here.” The evil smile of the hanyou permeated his features.

“Do not be so sure of yourself Halfling.” Sanra said letting her own claws become needle thin.

She stabbed and pierced his flesh over and over but her own damage to her skin was becoming horrendous. Naraku’s eyes were half lidded and that smile she hated showed up again. He looked truly demonic and evil in that moment and he wrapped his hand around her throat. He slammed as far as his amalgamated flesh would allow and Sanra was forced through the powerful barrier. She screamed the wraith call as her skin became shredded and the hanyou was being burned terribly as well but his grin was pure hell.

“You will kill us both!” She screamed as the purifying power of the barrier sizzled her skin.

“Pretty much my point whore.” He smiled with cruel intent.

Naraku noticed Gwydion come from the forest and she stared at Naraku as if he was insane.

“You had better let me go!” She snarled at him wildly.

“Really?” He asked almost as if bored.

Gwydion reached Sanra and she was panicking.

“You betrayed me.” He said softly in her ear.

“You were nothing but a tool pretty boy!” Sanra hissed.

“See wrong answer.” Gwydion stated kissing her cheek and it froze.

She screamed and she struggled badly.

“You set me up.” She snarled.

“Pretty much darling. See no one in our sphere would betray us so blatantly. You screwed up.” Naraku smiled.

She tried to escape and slowly Gwydion froze her hand and smashed it off. She screamed in agony as they slowly tortured her. The ice ekimmu was so calm in his smashing of her appendages that he made Naraku proud. Miasma swirled around various grotesque appendages as he slowly stabbed the Shouten whore. Asuna heard the commotion and she ran outside. The scene before her was horrible, evil, and utterly vile but she smiled.

“Get him.” Naraku commanded.

“Hai.” She said backing up and almost running.

Asuna ported straight into Balkhash. She had not seen Maec as of late because of everything but Admal appeared first. His eyes told her of his violent emotions and her face showed her excitement.

“Get Maec.” She whispered.

“For what reason?” Admal demanded.

“Do not forget yourself Admal! I am still your queen.” She growled.

“I cannot forget.” He said coldly as he walked to get his royal brother.

Maec soon came to her and he was dressed in armor and her mouth dropped. He was beautiful, lethal, and covered in blood.

“Naraku and Gwydion have her.” Asuna said hurriedly.

“Sanra?” He asked coldly.

“Hai.” She nodded.

His hair was pulled up in a high pony tail and his eyes narrowed. A cruel smile played on his lips as he grabbed his wife and phased. The soul of his now extinct son was causing him terrible issue and Sanra had been using the lost tribe to try and gain power. Admal glared at her with fury born of separation and longing. She knew he and Lei had kept up. Lei was one never to be ignored and he would show up to keep his place he would say. Asuna was too caught up in her own thoughts and she walked beside the current king of the Shouten. Maec was greeted by a sight that made his stomach lurch but happiness settle in his heart. Sanra was ashen and she looked ill. Miasma stained her skin in so many places she looked like a decayed piece of meat.

“Hello sister.” Maec smirked with hatred.

“Hello brother.” She snarled.

“Still so arrogant you fucking monster!” The Shouten king said stalking forward.

“You will not kill me; I will not allow it! You think you can thwart my will?” Sanra said madly.

Maec let his own yoki come forth and Asuna watched curiously. Gwydion recognized the power of powerful earth magics and he smirked when he realized just how strong the reborn was.

“Go or be cast into the outer darkness! Go or be drowned in the watery abyss! Go or be burned in the flames! Go or be torn by the whirlwind! By the powers of life, death and rebirth, so mote it be! I banish you. Be gone!” He snarled.

Asuna’s eyes widened and Sanra screamed as things began to happen. He had called on the Four Branches and one by one did his curses begin to afflict the evil bitch that was Sanra tr’Awnhi. Gwydion smirked as he felt a little of his own power called on and he shut his eyes.

“What did you do?” Asuna asked Maec in horror as Sanra suffered.

“Called on all four energies. She will not die yet. She will suffer for her filthy and disgusting ways!” He said cruelly.

“You need to kill her Shouten!” Naraku snapped.

Sanra’s screams were getting weaker as her lungs filled with water, her hair burned, and her skin seemed to be ripped from her body. Maec seemed to hold back his own yoki and his hate filled stare was maliciously cruel and horrid.

“No. I want to question her.” He sneered.

“You really think she will answer?” Gwydion asked.

“I think I will make her talk. She used to give me poison. How about it Sister? How about I give you some herbs so you will spill your guts?” Maec asked suddenly and quite frighteningly.

The Shouten king wrapped his hand around her decaying throat and she was gasping terribly.

“Undo all that I have done and set things back to one.” He said almost too softly.

Sanra gasped and she was suddenly quite normal. Asuna was shocked at his finite control over the natural magics. His older sister screamed as his fingers sank into her soft neck and blood stained his hand.

“I have a little toy I am going to show you Sanra. I have been perfecting it in my time away from my wife. I want to play.” He whispered in her ear.

“Just fucking kill me!” She snarled.

“No. Not for what you have done to me and our family! You are going to have a long and agonizing death. Lots of people want to hurt you and I have a mind to call on Shan Lao. Remember him? I have made peace with him and he is itching to kill you too.” He smirked.

“Noooo!” She snarled and coughed up blood.

Naraku and Gwydion watched Maec phase out and they stared at Asuna.

“Make certain she is dead if you do not mind.” Naraku said with distaste.

“You do not wish to do so?” Asuna asked.

“No. I have had enough of that whore for one too many lifetimes. Let her greatest victims have at her.” He said walking away.

“How did you know?” She asked in awe.

“I just did. I love you koi. So does the ice prince over there. Do not forget your family.” He commanded and he ported away.

Gwydion just stared and he smiled very softly.

“You have been planning this some time.” She stated in awe and quiet.

“Yes. I have things to do but I shall come back and play with you and your new puppy.” He smirked sexily at her.

With that Gwydion phased away with the intent on seeing Kameron and working on ridding himself.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gwydion watched the frère and he hated the feelings of pity he felt. He was a fucking prince and powerhouse in the ekimmu world and he was feeling sorry for the worthless turnling. He was so damn angry over her death and Coventina but here was the same creature being tender and soft with his own child. Gwydion wanted to hate and he was not. He suddenly phased in after Aahmes was laid down and Kameron went to strike. The blonde shoved him bodily against a wall and Kameron was no fool. He was powerful of that he did not doubt but this was a freaking ekimmu and member of the Four Branches.

“I hate you. I should fucking hate you.” Gwydion said with blood tears falling down his face.

“It changes nothing. It happened and I was very young; even by uppyr standards. I cannot say I am sorry to where you will believe me. You would not believe that I had no free will.” Kameron said staring at the blonde.

“You say it and so does Arianrhod. I want to see it. I want you to show me!” He snarled.

“I do not want to show you. It was horrid enough.” The frère said hissing.

“So you show her?” He snarled.

“She ripped it from me. I would not have shown her that for anything.” He said ashamed.

“Do you like the red dragon?” Gwydion asked heavily.

“He is in part of me. I helped her to restore him.” He said trying to breathe.

“So he loves you.” The ekimmu asked bluntly.

“Yes.” Kameron admitted.

“Have you felt him?” He asked suddenly very interested.

“Why does it matter?” The frère asked too hot.

“Only curious. I seem to remember a very angry frère who asked to die but then I see him again. He is sure of himself and sexy as hell. You are pleasing to look at as well.” Gwydion said flatly.

“What are you doing?” Her head frère asked breathing too hard.

“Your face haunts me. I close my eyes and I see you drinking her blood. Was it good? Did you enjoy partaking of ekimmu life force?” Gwydion asked and he was suddenly jerking Kameron’s shirt tails out of his trousers.

“I barely remember. I was in a haze. You do not believe me so why try and beg?” He asked baffled.

“I will know what Ayille did. I will know and since you refuse to share, so I have to be original. I will understand before I dole out my punishment. Depends upon what I see.” He said and Kameron cried out wildly.

“Oh hell.” Kameron cried out as the ekimmu grasped his sac brazenly.

“Very fine I must admit. Did Ayille torture you this way?” He demanded.

“I will not think on it.” He said shaking his head violently.

Gwydion was being dirty but his mental hold on the frère was tremendous. He intended to make him debased and humiliated at first. He bared him to his gaze and he made a noise.

“So I see what both queens find so appealing.” He said lewdly in Kameron’s ear.

“Not like this.” He said groaning.

“Like hell you are not. You are a blood drinker! What is sex except a means for nourishment?” Gwydion asked basely.

“Stop this! I am not your toy!” Kameron snarled.

“Oh you are not? You are my mate’s frère. You are her changed. You are hers! What she has is mine as well.” He snarled loudly.

Gwydion lost his temper and Kameron was suddenly being sucked and expertly by the ice prince. His world was narrow and he felt like a worthless bitch. Gwydion moaned obscenely around his cock and he knew the penchant of many ekimmu. They truly saw sex as sex and gave no distinction between male and female. He had heard Bilae say long ago that both had pleasure centers, so why not? He actually groaned as the blonde, lither male sucked and licked his cock like a starved man. He was brought close to climax when that mouth began to suck and nip his inner thigh.

“No! I do not want to share. Oh fuck!” He cried out softly as Gwydion sank in fangs.

Gwydion was assaulting his inner self and he was laying him bare. He hated it and he was exposed totally. Gwydion began to see firsthand in his memories how the young man had suffered. His eyes shut as he saw what Ayille had done to his sanity and his person. Gwydion came off his femoral artery and those blood tears were back.

“I did not want…” Kameron tried to cry out softly and Gwydion was nose to nose.

“You did not want to kill her. She was in your mind and forcing you.” He whispered in a hurt voice.

“Stop!” He said breathing too hard.

“Ayille killed my baby girl.” Gwydion said choking.

“I am sorry. I can say it and say it but it does not bring her back.” The frère said horrified.

The ice ekimmu mentally shuddered at what he saw and he palmed his cheek. They heard a deep sucking in of breath and Asuna was at the door. Gwydion made a face at being caught and Kameron was a wreck.

“Did you intend to kill him?” Asuna asked her ice mate.

“I have not harmed him.” Gwydion retorted.

“Mistress. He has not harmed me.” Kameron said hoping Gwydion would leave him be before he would actually want something.

Asuna heard the mental comments of her frère and she saw Gwydion with tears on his face.

“So mate. You intended to know his truths. I applaud you but I have told you that he is mine.” She stated flatly.

“Why do you get to keep him if he is inclined so?” Gwydion demanded.

“You wish to know him?” She asked raising a brow.

“May I comment here?” Kameron hoped.

“No.” Gwydion snapped.

“You want my frère?” She snarled.

“He is worthy. I saw what he has endured at her hands. I see why you buckled. He is inclined! I want him.” He said pouting and almost snarling.

“Why?” She asked coldly.

“He took in my baby girl. So in a sense she became part of him! She was mine Arianrhod. So I demand him!” He said with cold too.

“Kameron?” Asuna asked gently.

“I..know not. I am not sure.” He said confused.

Gwydion ignored them both and he held his jaw and he stole his breath. Asuna was fixing to be mad but Kameron groaned wildly as he was kissed stupid by her ice prince. Gwydion was uber sensual as he tasted the other man.

“Oh my.” She muttered as she held her chest.

Gwydion slowly nibbled bottom lip and Kameron was dazed.

“Have you had it correctly? Have you been brought to heaven whilst you were taken? Ayille’s ways are not sane and I can show you how you will beg for my mercy as I make you lose your fucking mind.” Her blonde ekimmu said raunchily.

“Please.” Her frère whispered unable to fight the intense tugging on his cock or the look of lust in Asuna’s eyes.

His queen, mate, and wife was so absolutely aroused by the sight that she allowed Kameron to be phased. She called on Ryo to watch Aahmes and he was curious.

“Healing is all. Be good my sweet boys.” She said kissing her son and frère.

When she ported to her room; Gwydion had Kameron laid out and he was being ravished by the angel faced man. It was absolutely certain he was nervous but Gwydion was being very careful to make him moan wildly.

“Mistress?” He croaked out as the other moved his thighs apart.

“You may stop if you wish.” She said nearing the bed.

“Like hell!” Gwydion growled.

“Shut up Gwydion.” She hissed.

“Will you, that is to say, please touch me.” He begged.

To see him ask his need; it undid her. She wrapped her mouth around his cock and Kameron thought he was going to die. Gwydion took that moment to use his wicked tongue and sank into him deeply. He was shaking in tremendous sensation as his queen used her mouth to suckle and lick him to craziness but the other man was rimming him deeply and he was crashing. Gwydion growled in her mind that she got to be lucky and she pathed back she would kiss him. Kameron lost himself totally and he screamed out as the most incredible high took him. Asuna moaned around his spurting cock and Gwydion snarled as he grabbed her and began to lash his tongue to hers. She got the sudden and intense impression that what her ekimmu mate had seen had been pretty deep and he was trying to own Kameron. It made her mad but he slowly pulled his lips away and licked his mouth.

“You are fucking delicious my sweet man.” He murmured as he stared at Asuna.

“Sleep?” He begged.

“Oh no. I am going to still take you to those heights.” He smirked and he went to Kameron.

The frère was under a sensual attack and the back of his neck was nipped and sucked. Asuna settled on her side in front of him and Gwydion was aggressive. He wanted this creature and he intended to taunt Ayille with it. He wasted no time in slipping his slender and long cock inside of the frère and Kameron’s face was clouded with naked desire and horror at himself.

“Do I feel good? I assure you feel amazing.” Gwydion rasped in the frère’s ear.

“Ye-es.” He moaned softly.

“Kameron? Look at me. Do you wish anything else?” She asked brushing fingers onto his cheek.

“Need inside of you. Mistress please. Oh fuck, please!” He begged losing his voice.

She lifted her thigh and she moaned as he filled her. Gwydion’s hand was on his hip and his grip was bruising.

“Going to die. I am going to die. So full.” He groaned between the two.

They moved in tandem and the frère was altered mentally. The pleasure was so intense that he was certain he left his mind somewhere. His queen was whispering such passionate and loving words and his former enemy was speaking too. His face was embarrassed by all the praise and soon he felt a bigger and more intense wave of euphoria shoot through him. Asuna slowly kissed him with lots of tongue and moans as he came hard. He accidently bit her tongue and it felt so freakishly amazing. Gwydion was rasping as he spent himself and he slowly pulled back exhausted. Kameron slowly stared at her and he was still red faced.

“You did this for me or peace?” She asked softly brushing his sweat soaked black hair off his forehead.

“Both.” He said shutting his eyes.

“You are so good. My beautiful Kameron.” She said kissing him again.

Gwydion looked over and he was suddenly jealous. He saw her kissing the beautiful creature and he was feeling as put out as when Arianrhod took Apollo. He felt rage build in him and he was growling. Asuna pulled back and stared at him with her own anger.

“He is mine!” Asuna snarled almost too softly to hear.

“I ask again why you get him alone?” Gwydion demanded.

“I am half inu Gwydion. This is my man! You hear me? You ever touch him again without my input and I will castrate you!” She said getting off the bed.

“Oh but anyone else touches me?” He asked in fury.

“I will kill them.” She said crossing her arms.

“Such a double standard! I want him!” He snarled.

Kameron was in shock because before this day; the ekimmu wanted him dead and he probably still did in some ways, but now they fought over him like he was meat.

“Pardon me…” He tried to interject.

“I changed him! He is my frère. He is not yours and you wanted him dead so why in the hell should I trust you?” Asuna asked in a snarl.

“Pardon but I am here.” Kameron said flabbergasted.

“Well I want him now too.” Gwydion snarled back.

Kameron gave up and he ported out. Asuna looked at the now empty bed and she smiled a little. Her shy and demure frère was growing a pair and it made her shiver.

“Whatever. Do not do it again.” She said walking past him.

“Selfish bitch.” He roared.

“Pretty much.” She snapped in return.

Gwydion stared at the wall and he was furious. He did not understand why he had to be a damn monk. He sat down on the plush bed and pouted more.

Jouichi was watching Ichigawa who in turn was unnerved by it. His act of passion in the midst of the kumo had been repeated; several times in fact and he could not seem to get the act out of his mind.

“Why do you stare at me?” Ichigawa asked under his breath.

“Trying to imagine what my great mother saw when she saw you.” He shrugged.

“I was a pest at first.” He said blushing.

“You see that right there is what got her.” He smiled warmly.

“You do act a lot like her. I am astonished.” He said still blushing.

“Why?” Jouichi smiled.

“I loved her so much.” Ichigawa admitted looking away.

“I know. I did too. What are your thoughts of hunting down this thing that was my step father?” He asked softly.

“I think I want revenge badly.” The inu said meeting those black eyes.

“Good because I do too. We shall be good friends and our children will be family. Come my friend.” The kumo said taking his shoulder.

“Why do you think he reacted the way he did my lord? Why would he turn on her after all that time?” Ichigawa asked.

“I am unsure Ichigawa. It would seem that there was discovery of your love affair. I was busy running to and fro but I did pay attention when Gaku met with Lansoh and several others in the kingdom. It would not surprise me to find out that we had been infiltrated by these wraiths and Ramanga.” He shrugged.

“It would make sense. Did Gaku really love her so much?” He asked in a small voice.

“I am sure it was there at one time. They had several children but I saw her falling apart slowly. I think he felt less of a man because she could not love him or Jouichi enough.” He sighed softly.

“I wonder how your birth father was like? She spoke of him often.” He said looking up at the ceiling.

“Did she? I have been told that healer Nobu is very much like he was. He ordered her about but he was an innocent soul you see.” He shrugged.

“Hai. Why have you done what it is you have done?” The inu asked the kumo.

“Because love is so sparse and rare. I am no fool and I know when to be reasonable. It is a trait that many kumo men need learn.” He shrugged.

Ichigawa nodded and he felt so smothered and he was just too used to alone. He walked beside the taller kumo man as they talked.

Nori hated waiting and he had been watching. Ken’ichi was beside him and he was healed fully now. His twin had told him of the twisted appetites of Bilae and Ayille and it pissed Nori off supremely. Nori was very much appreciative of the feminine form and not many knew of his idea of fun was to watch the youkai and ningen girls alike sun bathe. He especially liked it when they took off their teeny tiny bikinis. His eyes were blood red and Ken smirked. He had so casually referenced this as “opening a can of whoop ass”; Nori liked the saying very much. He liked the idea of decimating.

“So what are you going to do with the jewel?” Ken asked in a hushed voice.

“Use it if I have to. So far it has not been necessary.” He replied.

“We have been watching her getting tortured for the past twelve hours.” His twin complained.

“You wish us to do some of the torture?” Nori asked bluntly.

“I mean we bled Justinus like crazy. Poor kid said he feels like a pin cushion.” He smirked.

“Well  I cannot tell the adults what we plan.” The slighter boy snorted.

“Come on Nori! Let us kill her! We can you know. Imagine Chichi’s face if you tell him she is dead.” He said trying to get his twin to move.

“He will be happy then he will admonish us for being here. No thank you. I am not afraid of most people but I am afraid of him.” The elder twin admitted.

“So is your bro from that life gonna be there or what?” Ken demanded.

“Hai. He swore it.” He smiled cruelly.

“Good. Cause I want to write her name in blood.” The inu-Ramanga hybrid said in hate.

Nori lifted his head and Drostan had come through. He was their “adult” they went to when they wished to cause mayhem. There were noises of attack and Maec had to leave the nearly dead Sanra. He was being cruel in his attempt to gather intelligence. The Shouten king was bent on finding out where the Sotan were and crushing the bastards. Nori appeared in the room that stank of alchemy.

“Hello whore.” He smirked.

“Little bastard.” She said barely able to speak.

“You enjoy pain so much so this is just a turn on is it not?” Nori asked dragging a claw down her ripped open belly.

“Not like this you freaky little shit!” Sanra said spitting on him.

“Not nice slut.” He said manically.

“Shut the hell up Nori! We don’t have enough time to converse with the bitch!” Ken said coming from the shadows.

Sanra saw the remade of Ayille and the boy was beautiful but he looked like he wanted to kill.

“Awe poor sweet boy wants some blood on his hands and he cannot wait.” She snorted weakly.

“FUCK YOU!” Ken’ichi snarled and he grabbed from his satchel an orb.

“Ken no!” Nori yelled.

It was too late and Ken’ichi had smashed the orb into her mouth and he moved so fast that Nori had no chance to stop him. He finished ripping open Sanra’s throat and she could not even scream. Maec stood in the doorway in shock and he watched his putrid sibling twitch violently in death spasms and he stared at the two boys.

“How are you here?” He asked mortified.

“I was Davyn. She deserved to die Shouten.” Nori said coldly.

“I was killing her!” He snarled at the young boy.

“Not quick enough. I will report back to my father that the deed is done.” He smirked.

“Yeah. Not quick enough. Don’t you Shouten eventually turn to dust?” Ken asked in hate.

“Yes.” Maec said tightly.

“Awesome! Wretched bitch!” He said as he walked away.

“What did she do to you?” The Shouten king demanded.

“Besides try to destroy our mother? That fucking whore raped me on Ayille’s demand. So yeah, I wanted her dead.” The inu said with utter malice.

Maec bowed his head and the two boys ported out. He stared at the body of his damaged sister and he snorted. The end was truly the end for her and he intended to place a curse upon her existence. She would not be able to come back from this death. Admal came in and he looked irritated.

“She is truly gone?” He asked stunned.

“Yes. It was two sons of Isha who did it. I was not done interrogating her!” He snarled in frustration.

“Well perhaps Isha should know.” Admal stated with narrowed eyes.

“Your anger at our woman is known Admal. Actually do me a favor.” Maec said with a nasty smirk.

“Yes?” His youngest sibling said.

“Make Isha fall to her knees and make her remember her wraith part. She seems so saturated with the corporeals as of late. Make her beg you and then brother we shall make her remember me!” He commanded.

“Yes Maec.” He smiled widely.

Admal phased out and he watched the skin of his sister begin to flake into ash slowly and Maec decided to watch until she passed into oblivion. He intended to use her ashes to place the curse on her life. Never would she be revived. He felt the evil intent course through him and he felt a little more like himself. His wife would realize that she was in part his and he would also make the might of Astana be known again. The Sotan would fall and then he set his sights on Los Noches.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Admal waited on her and she breezed into her home in the Western Lands. He had not been here yet. He had appeared at the barrier and they had let him through. His heart ached and his anger over her apparent lack of concern for her other side of her family. He phased in and she nearly jumped out of her skin.

“Hello Isha.” He said with his blue eyes cold.

“Hello Admal. Why are you here?” Asuna asked staring.

“Sanra is dead.” Admal said very slowly.

“Dead? I thought he only tortured her to get information.” She said in confusion.

“That is the rub. Two of your sons showed up and finished her off. It was so insane as we were supposedly attacked by but a few wyvern.” He said watching her.

“Nori! Damn it!” She snapped in anger.

“Not so fast Isha.” He said grabbing her.

“Unhand me Admal!” She hissed in annoyance.

“Why do you shun us? What have we done but stand by you Isha?” He demanded in anger.

“I do not shun you Admal but I do not have time to…” Asuna tried to say before he slammed her against the floor.

The wind was knocked out of her and she was seeing stars. He was so damn strong and she did avoid him at times because he was so damn intense. His emotions and domination made her tremble and angry at the same time. Admal seared her mouth and she immediately mewled under him as she wrapped her arms around his neck and received his thrusting tongue. He was suddenly so frantic as he phased her clothes off and his lips began to nip a path to her throat.

“Hell Admal! Oh Kami.” She groaned heavily.

“You arrogant bitch! You shut away that which brings you the most feeling. Do you know how much I need you? I touch no one but only you and even Lei I have not sought. I am not a priest Isha!” He said growling heavily.

“You demand too much! You always demand too much.” She snarled in his face.

“I demand that my queen and my lover be there! You get in my face to tell me not to forget who and what you are, well my darling do not forget who and what I am!” He said shoving himself into her now naked body.

She had not even realized he had phased her clothing away and she arched up into the pleasure. Admal shifted his hips in a circle and she screamed. He was too good; too empusae as he continued to shift and move himself to make her utterly insane.

“I am going to feast this eve and you will be full of me and Maec. He has deemed it so.” He snarled.

“Nnngghh! Admal!” She said jerking her head violently.

“Yes my Isha? Should you like to know that your sons shoved an orb full of basilisk pythos blood down her throat and the boy named Ken tore her throat out?” He asked heavily.

“Oh my Kami! Admal! Let me finish! I need to see…KAMIS!” She screamed again.

He was doing everything to set her off and he suddenly pulled himself out of her perfect heat. Admal was being a dirty bastard but he sank his fangs into her female flesh and she convulsed right then. Her blood tasted different and more potent as he drank in her intense high. He was getting lost and drinking heavily.

“Admal stop! Please stop.” She whispered weakly.

He was hauled off by Ryo and she was shivering weakly.

“Listen here bitch, my queen, got it?” Ryo snapped in Admal’s drunken face.

“My queen too.” Admal smirked.

“Who is the asshole?” Her dragon frère asked.

“Lover.” She said trying to move.

“Well I tell what you are going to do Shouten. You are given rip a fucking vein open and feed my lady here or I am going to do it for you.” He said nastily.

“I had every intention of it pretty boy.” He smirked with a sloppy smile.

“Well get to it!” Ryo snarled as he shoved Admal down.

“You want my blood Isha?” He asked in a slightly slurred voice.

“Hai. Need it.” Asuna whispered.

Admal sat back and he looked over his shoulder at Ryo. He smirked at the beautiful man and he used his claws to rip deep and wide on his chest. He hauled Asuna up and she wrapped her lips around the wound and sucked deeply. Ryo watched and he was getting hard fast but he kept himself under control. He watched her suck harder and then harder as Admal dissolved into a mess of lewd words and passion.

“Too long Isha. Too fucking long. You are part of us. Oh Gods yes! Bite harder my darling. Harder! Make me come.” Admal said in a passionate haze.

Asuna sank fangs into his chest and he suspended breathing as he shook hard. His eyes rolled back and she had her own eyes shut in ecstasy as he began to release so much. Admal’s grip upon her was tight as he snarled out “yes” in Kazak and she moaned at his chest. Ryo stepped back and he was watching what he had done over and over in the centuries.

“Lovely is it not?” Maec asked phasing in beside him.

“Holy shit!” Ryo snapped as he jumped.

“Not even close. Hello frère. My name Is Maec and I am one of her magnanimous husbands. You should be my closest friend.” He smirked.

The beast was gorgeous. His eyes were silver at the moment and his dark brown almost black hair was down. He wore only loose pajama style pants and his pierced nipples had rings with tiny diamonds in them.

“Did that hurt?” He asked stupidly.

“Yes but now it is erotic as fuck. Should you like a closer look?” Maec asked sensually.

“Uh no.” Ryo stammered.

“Such a beautiful creature you are. Do you still change into a dragon? I bet your blood tastes divine.” The Shouten king said silkily.

“I can change and I have to go.” He said suddenly as Maec grabbed him.

“Might as well make it a foursome. Orgies can be so fun amongst us blood drinkers.” He smirked with something deeply erotic.

“Maec?” Asuna asked coming off of Admal’s chest and the half empusae Shouten fell back with a stupid grin on his face.

“Hello Isha. I miss my wife. Admal misses his lover and so I have decided that you will tend us both.” He said cockily.

“Oh really?” She asked suddenly mad.

“Yes. You see I have been a busy little wraith and my wife has been a busy little corporeal. I have had to deny myself the pleasure of her flesh and soul and I find it intolerable. You see you are my only wife in this era and well it is not satisfactory that a king should have to fist himself.” He said lewdly and crudely.

Her mouth dropped opened and Maec cut his wrist and automatically gave it Ryo. The poor frère was suddenly on his knees drinking Maec’s powerful and succulent blood.

“Oh he sucks so well Isha. Have you had him do so to your other mates who bend both ways?” He asked moaning softly.

“He is my frère.” She said crossing her arms.

“Admal? Brother. Take him.” He commanded.

Admal smirked and he phased out. Ryo stiffened completely and he let out a small scream as he experienced the true form of a Shouten.

“Now wife. I am in need.” Maec said stalking to her.

“Oh really?” She asked staring up at him with green eyes.

“Mmmm yes. So see what I did for you?” He asked as he bared himself.

“Maec! How did you get them out?” She asked stunned.

“Alchemy. I have reimmersed myself with Gwydion’s help. I learn from an actual God and it does not induce madness. Mix the wrong ingredients well you get stupid. I will probably put them back as I like how they make you insane.” He smirked softly.

She stared at his cock and he was fully aroused. He was also beautiful, perfect and she snarled. Maec threw back his head as she swallowed him whole. His wife was too good at this and he moaned heavily as she began to work on bringing him his end. He also had no intentions of letting her off because of the neglect. Admal was making the frère gasp and moan wildly and the sounds made Maec clench his hands as his Isha brought him to the edge.

“Wife. You will not forget us. I will not allow you too.” He whispered in a haze.

She looked up at him as she pleasured him and she saw his naked need. She worked on getting him to climax but he controlled himself. She growled around his cock and he chuckled.

“Oh Isha. I am so not even close to done. First you need more.” Maec said pulling back carefully and he phased out.

Asuna looked around and she felt him possess her. She groaned softly as he made her feel and oh it felt wonderful. He also mentally showed her Sanra’s demise and she gasped so hard. She was losing it and Admal suddenly left Ryo and he smiled as the frère clawed at the ground.

“Poor boy. Go and take her. She needs a good fucking. You will taste sweeter.” He purred in Ryo’s ear.

The overwrought and horny dragon frère fell on his queen and he did take her. Ryo took her hard and she was mentally all over the place as Maec refused to leave her physical body. The dragon ended up taking her hard and Admal jerked him off of her as he was about to climax. The poor red was horrified but the half empusae Shouten proceeded to bit the base of his cock and he came so hard that he passed out immediately. Maec knelt next to her and tipped her head back and kissed her slowly. She moaned into his mouth as he kissed her the way she did him; with absolute love and absolute passion. He slowly pulled away from her mouth and whispered fervently.

“I have missed you so much. I have kept myself so that when I did see you, I would be as if pure for my beautiful wife. Mother to my Isha and Maiell. My darling and my savior. You are my everything and I know Admal feels the same. Trust me?” He asked softly against her lips.

“Hai. Always. I will always trust you.” She said in love and as fervently.

“Good my darling. Because I am going to make you feel your home plane.” He smirked.

“What is that?” Asuna asked dumbly.

“Heaven.” Maec said brushing her lips with his thumbs.

He slowly laid her back and Admal was so needy again at his king’s words. The night passed into something utterly incredible as Maec bonded with his wife and mate and Admal was officially one of her mates. Ichigawa was nearby and his body could not take much more. He was going insane and every touch she received made him wilder. Somehow their acts of passion binded his mind to hers and the empathy was tearing him up. It was beautiful and magical in some ways but he gripped the wall as waves of euphoria rocked him. His red eyes shut as more empathetically fueled emotions raced through his body and he cried out.

“General Ichigawa?” Jouichi asked him softly.

“Help me!” He gasped.

“Whatever is wrong?” The kumo asked.

“I feel it all. I did not need this. Of fuck!” He doubled over and the former kumo lord was astonished.

“Is our lover in the midst of the passion?” He murmured softly.

“Hai. She does not know. I need oblivion.” Ichigawa said gasping harder.

“I will stun you.” The black haired man said.

Jouichi proceeded to deliver venom to the base of Ichigawa’s neck and the brunette inu sagged. He caught him and picked him up. He ported to the man’s room and he laid him upon the soft bed.

“I owe you for making my beloved Ayana had at the end. I wish I had known and I would have helped her. I would have killed Gaku and Lansoh. Rest good man and I shall ease your suffering.” Jouichi said softly.

He stood up and he went to the rooms of his beloved and she was sleeping. He peeked in and he saw one he knew as Maec. Another he did not know and he saw the dragon frère. He looked amused and stared at his lover.

-Wake up beloved. - He thought in her head.

Asuna popped her head up and she saw Jouichi at the door. She blushed and he only smirked. She climbed over Maec and Admal as she grabbed a yukata. She slipped out the shoji door and slid it shut behind her. He smiled down at her and she had downcast eyes.

“I am happy your loves assert themselves. It is good for you my mitsuaki. Now the reason I disturb is that Ichigawa is binded to you so intensely that he feels your lovely escapades.” Jouichi said brushing his thumbs across her stripes.

“Oh Kamis! He felt that?” She asked horrified.

“Hai. I must say by his numerous cries and the scent of sex coming off of him; you must have been well pleased. Please tell this Shouten good job.” He laughed softly.

“Jouichi!” She said scandalized.

“I am a worldly man now my angel. I have come to enjoy living here and I enjoy having my children’s siblings so close. Now poor Ichigawa is coming off a self imposed isolation much I like did and he is unused to such acts of erotica.  So we must figure out to help him.” He smiled.

“Kamis you are so beautiful.” She said kissing his hand.

“Am I? I think my nose is a little bad.” He grinned.

“Liar.” Asuna said kissing the “offending” nose.

“No! I really think it is a tad too sharp. Now my darling.” He said taking her hand and walking beside her.

They walked side by side and they ended up in Ichigawa’s room. He was passed out and she sat down on the bed. Jouichi watched as she slowly woke him up and his silver eyes were exhausted looking.

“Ichigawa?” She asked softly.

“I cannot shield.” He said trembling.

“Why?” Asuna asked.

“I know not. I feel it all. I feel your worry. I feel your passion.” Ichigawa said shutting his eyes.

“Tell me how to help you!” She said taking his hands.

“Stop feeling.” He said in jest.

“Sorry.” She stated with true worry.

“I know not how to shut out the bind. I am certain you can but I have no way to know. I was used to shutting everything out but we have let each other in.” he said almost too softly.

“Maec is here and I am certain he can help.” She said kissing his cheek.

He grit his teeth and he felt her concern and most of all her love. He moaned and he grabbed her. Ichigawa buried his hands in her long silver hair and began to kiss her with need. Joucihi very gently pulled her away and the brown inu sighed heavily.

“We will return.” He said firmly.

Ichigawa nodded and Asuna looked back. He had pathed such things and he was enmeshed in her own thoughts. She moved with purpose back to her room and she slipped in. Maec was awake and he stared at her face.

“One of my inu generals needs help. You were able to separate me from my wraith binds and still keep us bound.” She replied.

“So you want me to do the same with this man?” He asked with a sly smirk.

“You are the only one who knows how to do such things with any expertise Maec.” She pouted.

“So what do I get?” Maec asked.

“My gratitude?” Asuna replied wryly.

“That is good and all but I want something else.” He said beckoning her with his finger.

“Then what?” She demanded.

“I will tell you when the time comes. Now let us see if we can help this poor canine out.” He said in sarcastic humor.

Maec phased his own clothes on and she blushed. The dangerous air was about Maec and it suited him. He was back in all of his nasty glory but now it was for their side. She looked up at him and he smiled down at her.

“Beautiful woman. Now show me this poor man.” He said in a gentle command.

Jouichi stood outside with his arms behind his back and he knew of Maec from his little visits to his own mother. He kept himself silent and Maec looked him up and down. He then walked past him and he went in search of Ichigawa. They found him sitting in the middle of his bed meditating and the Shouten ruler looked him over. The man was stunning in a softer and more subtle way.

“I am Maec. My Isha has commanded me to enable a block upon your bind and I shall do so.” He said smirking.

“What do you want?” Ichigawa asked softly.

“Gratitude is good. Now my boy; we need my apothecary and you need peace.”Maec said taking his shoulder and phasing.

Her Shouten husband was gone with Ichigawa and she looked back at Jouichi.

“Well how interesting. So now my darling what to do?” He asked smiling.

“Hope he helps Ichigawa. Sanra is dead.” She said in passing.

“About time.” He said as they walked.

Asuna was astonished how easy things were becoming and she genuinely smiled. Maec and Admal had been divine and her poor frère was still passed out. Jouichi was just easy and his living in her home made her life easier. She was waiting for it to end and she sighed.

Nori was leaning against a wall as his father’s estate in Korea and Naraku was ranting. Nori was dressed in medium wash jeans with black boots, black turtle neck, and a white button down. His foot tapped as his sire growled at him and he rolled his eyes.

“When did you ever think it was okay to roll your eyes at me?” Naraku said in a dangerous tone.

“I did not intend to Father but you have said how irresponsible I have been for the past thirty minutes. We killed that whore and you can only bitch!” Nori said in contempt.

“You are walking a fine line son! How dare you take on such a dangerous thing.” The hanyou said getting in his boy’s face.

“I dare what I will.” He said smoothly.

“Who are you? What happened to my boy?” His father demanded in fury.

“I am Matsuda Nori! I am the son of the great Naraku. I am the reborn of Arawn; the keeper of Annwn!” He yelled at his father.

“I am the keeper.” Naraku said growling.

“I know. So be happy she is dead.” Nori snapped.

“You are still a young man! I care not if you were reborn or not. You are not old enough to face such things and by the Kamis boy; I will make you mind!” The hanyou said snarling.

“I am touched sir but I did what needed to be done! She raped Ken!” He said screaming in anger.

“She has defiled many in this family Nori.” Naraku yelled.

“Not my twin! I will kill again and again. Ken is part of me.” He said coldly.

“You are still a boy. Do you understand me? You have proven just how powerful you are but I am still your father…” He said in mounting fury.

“Then act like the Naraku I know! Act like the biggest and meanest villain in history. Show your true self and not some toned down pretty man so you can seem respectable. You are a fucking bad guy! Jii-chan Sesshomaru still hates you! Act like the powerhouse you are!” His son screamed.

Naraku lost his temper and struck his son’s cheek. Nori stared at him with blood red eyes that mirrored his own and he growled. Nori stormed past him and he realized that his boy had the same issue as Mizuki did. He was not aging like a normal youkai and his boy was acting grown up because he was grown up.

“Nori wait.” He yelled.

“What?” His son snapped.

“Firstly, I am still your father and you are still a member of this family. You make a move of such enormity then you will clear it with your family, do you understand? I am proud you had the ability to kill that whore but she could have escaped. She could have done much. Have you and Ken not suffered enough?” His father demanded.

“Hai. He suffered so much Chichi. He still has nightmares but he tries to be brave like Chichi Yuudai but he is not strong. I am stronger! They should have taken me! They should have taken me!” He said suddenly beginning to release snarly sobs.

Naraku pulled Nori into his arms and held him as he shook. The boy had taken on so much on his shoulders; he truly had no clue what the twin thing was like but he knew how it affected his other twin siblings. His boy suffered for his brother and he only held onto him.

“You suffer memories of this life as well as the other. You feel helpless because you lost almost all your siblings then and now you see them suffer. You will not lose anymore Nori. I promise.” Naraku said fiercely.

“How can you promise anything Chichi? How can you promise me anything when you will not even be yourself?” Nori demanded.

“This is who I am now Nori. I am not that person who tried to harness the power of the Shikon.” He said growling.

“You should be! That Naraku was not afraid. I have to go back to classes. Haha will be most displeased. I will call you from the estate.” He said jerking away and wiping his eyes.

“Nori!” Naraku growled.

“What?” His son asked with anguished eyes.

“You are my first son. I wept and often when I lost you.” He admitted.

“I know Chichi. I know but I would rather still be dead if it meant you would man up.” He said bowing and porting away.

Naraku stared at the spot where Nori had stood and his son’s words made him angry and cringe. He could not believe his own child wished him to be a monster again. Rishu and he had issues because the boy had problems with who he had been and this son wanted him to be that again. Naraku went to stand in front of a mirror and he took a good look at himself.

“Perhaps he is right.” He whispered touching the glass.

The war erupted in his head and he growled. The hanyou swiftly turned around and left the room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naraku appeared in the Astana palace as it was slowly rebuilt. Maec was smiling and speaking with several Shouten nobles when he felt the hanyou. He excused himself from his fellow Shouten and he neared the brooding hanyou.

“I wish to see what is left of that monster.” He said in a soft tone.

“She is in a bowl in my apothecary as I work out the curse to keep her from ever being reborn.” Maec said lifting his chin.

“You did not destroy her soul?” Naraku demanded.

“You were the keeper of the ekimmu afterlife plane. You tell me how to destroy it. She was not some common beast. She imbibed the blood of ancients and did the ancient magics herself. So tell me.” The Shouten king said crossing his arms.

“I say we invite Efnisien and he will guide me. Did she die painfully?” He asked coldly.

“Your inu son ripped her throat out after the shoved pythos blood down her throat.” Maec replied.

“The pythos blood was toxic to her why?” The Halfling asked amazed.

“No idea but it works like acid to her. Her throat was burned out. She died in terrible pain.” The Shouten said grinning.

“Good! Did you get the information you needed?” he asked.

“Some. Believe it or not I know nothing of these Soten. They are a lost tribe of Shouten it seems. They are powerful and quick. I would beg to reason that many of the impersonations that occurred originated out of that tribe.” He said walking beside Naraku.

Maec’s hair was down and he wore loose brown pants in a linen material with a mandarin style jacket in black and brown velvet. His tear drop ruby pendent adorned his neck and his feet were in geta style sandals. Naraku looked over at the impeccably dressed Shouten and snorted.

“What?” He demanded.

“You are quite outlandish.” Naraku snorted.

“As if you are interesting? Black and navy always? Please corporeal. I look better then you and twice on the rest day.” Maec said in amusement.

Naraku glared at Maec and he was dressed in a tailor made suit of black silk blend. His white shirt was starched and his tie was a brilliant purple. His black hair was loose about his shoulders and Maec took in his appearance fully.

“I suppose you are okay.” He chuckled good naturedly.

“Better then you.” The hanyou retorted.

They came to stand before a large bowl full of ashes and some bone. Naraku wrinkled his nose at the morbidity of the situation and he looked at Maec who looked like a kid in a candy store.

“You are really happy she is dead.” He said looking at Maec.

“I am pleased she is passed. I get to lead a life I want and I am not used at all.” The Shouten stated stiffly.

“I got a taste of her perversions; I can only imagine what it is she did to you.” Naraku remarked.

“It is not a subject I wish to talk about. I am quite secure in my masculinity Halfling.” He retorted.

“Oh I have noticed. How many children did you sire?” The dark hanyou asked in a smart ass tone.

“Touché but I am certain you try to play catch up.” The wraith said in a sarcastic snit.

“Oh the inu is knocked up with another puppy.” He replied in jest.

“Yes, I am aware. I have the father sleeping in one of my rooms.” He smiled sweetly.

“Very charming. Beware that inu; he has holy powers.” Naraku cautioned.

“I am very aware. He is quite the powerhouse in such a timid being.” Maec replied.

“Not so timid when he is at war. He is an excellent warrior when in battle; albeit very cautious.” He stated out loud.

“Good to know. So tell me all about this Shikon and this priestess who made it.” The Shouten said crossing his arms and staring at Naraku.

“Sure. After I call on Efnisien and figure out what to do with this bitch.” He snorted.

“Absolutely.” Maec smiled.

Naraku mentally called on the chaos ekimmu and soon he was sitting near Maec as they spoke at length about many things. The longer he was around the Shouten ruler; the more he actually liked him. That horrified the hanyou more then what Sanra ever did.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna ventured into Tokyo to gather up some personal items she had missed. Ichigawa was again at the Western estate and he seemed centered and calmed again. He said the control that he felt was fantastic and he suggested that Tekeshi and Baku both do so as well. He said there was a freedom in feeling one’s own emotions. She had pointed out that he had been fine until she had shown back up and his soft smile had almost undid her and he cupped her cheek. He said that he had only been half alive. He actually said that he was happy again. That one small statement had floored her. Ichigawa had pressed his hand to her stomach and kissed her tenderly. Now she gathered up personal items such as her favorite jeans, other clothes, and correspondence. She tidied up her bedroom when she felt a strange presence in her living room. She dropped her bundle of silks and denim and let her fang appear as she cautiously moved forward. On her leather sofa sat the being that had attacked in the West.

“You can put your metal away. I am only here to taunt and ridicule.” The man said sneering.

“Are you truly Gaku?” Asuna asked shocked.

“Oh hai. I am Gaku. You were Ayana.” He said standing.

The man was stunning but her memories were fuzzy like from a dream. She peered at him closely and his anger was evident.

“I do not understand your anger. I have memories but not a complete recounting.” She said flatly.

“Oh I figured I owed it to you to tell you why I hated you so damn much.” He smirked.

“Oh do tell.” She snapped.

“I gave you everything. You had my heart, my devotion, and you swore you would love me in return. You swore to love Jouichi. Your fucks we could handle. You had appetites that we did not understand but that was you. I accepted you as you came Ayana. I came upon a scene that turned my stomach and made me colder than any dead body. I came upon you and that canine fucking like beasts but you swore your undying love. You told him he was your soul. You gave him your heart when it was me who had served you and begged you for that piece of decrepit shit that you gave a fucking inu so freely!” He snarled.

“Your woes were with her.” She said flatly.

“My woes are with you!” He said dangerously.

“I may have been her but I am now Asuna kumo. Watch yourself as you stand in my home.” She snarled in return.

“You carry that bastard’s brat again I feel. What was special about him Ayana? He did not fall at your feet and kiss your fucking ass?” He taunted.

“I am not certain completely of your relationship with her but you have none with me.” Asuna stated in mounting anger.

“How is my adopted son? Hai I know of that too. I know how he looked at you. I realize now so much more and I what an idiot I was. You should know that Asa did put a cruel end to me but the afterlife affords so much more flexibility.” He sneered.

“So you felt displaced. You felt as though she dishonored you. I am sorry but did you not go behind her back with Lansoh?” She growled.

“Lansoh came to me. She was an ambitious whore and I wanted you to hurt. You carried that brat and you were so happy to carry a filthy child. You were my mate and you were kumo!” He said walking up to her and pinning her to the wall.

“Well I am inu this life so it is not filthy no? I assure you that Ishin and Naraku will be quite interested to know that you showed up here.” She said in a nasty tone.

“You think I care about those insipid brats?” Gaku snorted.

“I think you are a jealous idiot. I am sorry if you were hurt that life. If it helps; much of those appetites that you spoke of are difficult at best. It was not personal and the heart goes where it goes.” Asuna replied.

“I gave my everything to Ayana and she gave her everything to a mutt! I was kumo nobility and that beast was what? The son of Midoriko? He was and is filthy! He is a scourge to youkai and she embraced him as if he was something worthy! I gave up my best years to honor and adore her as she fell in love with a fucking dog!” He snarled.

“So you raped your own mate?” Asuna demanded.

“Cannot rape a whore.” He sneered in fury.

“I am surprised you are not hollow as Ataru became one.” She hissed as she shoved him off.

“I am sure I would have but I have no clue how this happened but I know you shall suffer.” Gaku said with a heaving chest.

“Better men then you have tried; I assure you. You know Lansoh is dead.” She said scoffing.

“Not surprised. Stupid bitch did not have the sense to keep herself alive.” He growled.

“She went after my mate Naraku. Heard of him? He could and will wipe your ass all over the place as will I.” She stated lifting her fist.

“A hanyou? You think I fear a hanyou?” He yelled.

Asuna opened her mind fully and she was not surprised to feel Naraku immediately. The dark hanyou was surprised and then suddenly very angry to see the soul form of Gaku.

“You have bigger balls then brains spirit. You really should go now before I decimate you.” He said in a very cold voice.

“Oh I tremble.” Gaku snapped.

Naraku erupted tentacles and other appendages as Gaku looked sickened. The kumo whirled and pulled a short katana to begin swiping at Naraku. The hanyou weaved back and forth to avoid the blade and Gaku snarled.

“Your being here is unacceptable. You were killed I heard.” Her mate stated with a venomous tone.

“She has not ripped your heart out?” The former consort asked in hatred.

“I would have to have an accessible heart but no.” Naraku smirked in a sarcastic tone.

Gaku stopped short when he saw someone he had not seen in a very long time. Gaku Jouichi stepped forward and Asuna was surprised. The former consort stared at the man he had raised as his own son and there was confusion and anguish on his face.

“Hello Gaku.” Jouichi stated with a calm demeanor.

“Son.” He said stepping back.

“You call me son when you are here and you threaten the onna I have given myself too? Are you insane?” The former lord asked.

“She is an infection! How can you love her when she is a monster?” Gaku demanded.

“Why is who I choose to love your issue? I was under the impression that you were dead.” The son said nearing closer.

“You have poisoned my son!” The dead kumo snarled.

“I have done no such thing!” Asuna yelled.

“I am not your son. I am the son of Nagaharu; a healer. You are nothing to me but a backstabbing, raping, traitorous bastard. I should have killed you myself.” Jouichi said with slowly reddening eyes.

“I raised you! You loved your mother unnaturally. I tried to do better then her!” Gaku said growling.

“Hmm. You see I think you maneuvered to have power. I think you must have had my real father killed. He was a well known healer and so kind to all. You who hated other species. You held a torch for my mother long before I was born and Nagaharu stood in your way. You never loved her; you wanted her power.” The kumo lord stated too calmly.

“You think I did all that? You really think I wanted to deal with her whorish ways?” The old consort said in hate.

“I think you told yourself you loved her or you were a fool like Bihua. You think I do not know all your dirty and foul secrets?” He said curling his lip.

“I think you know nothing! I was there when the kingdom was formed.” The other man said hatefully.

“And I was there when it fell. Things set into motion even before I took the throne. You betrayed us all to those creatures and when she could not be controlled you attempted to kill her. You think me stupid?” Jouichi said nearing him.

“So you assume much. There was always political intrigue boy. Ayana was a good warrior but she amassed too much land and too much power. She became overwhelmed in it. She allowed that insipid Nagaharu to give her advice. You are right. I had him killed.” Gaku suddenly smirked.

“So you had my real father killed to put yourself in a place of power. When did they show up Gaku? When?” His step son said suddenly grabbing his throat.

Naraku and Asuna were stunned because the history of the kumo was being bared and it was nasty. Jouichi had been pondering much as of late and it occurred to him that his mother had been set up. Kameron’s showing up and Ayille’s confessions made him believe that the fate of his people had not been their doing. They had been destroyed by an insidious enemy intent upon destroying Ayana’s soul.

“Not until near the end. What was his name? Oh hai. Ganek? Hai he really hated her. I had come to hate her too. I foolishly had fallen for her charms when Bihua did but I never fully had her heart. I would have stood by her. I did set her up but I would have stopped it because I actually loved her. I kept going back did I not? How many children did I father?” Gaku snarled.

“So you pathetically fell in love with your enemy. How sad for you. I feel nothing for you but hatred. You raped my mother and you caused her to lose a child. You also had her murdered and you caused an innocent kingdom everything. I feel nothing but absolute hatred for you.” Joucihi stated shoving his hand deeply into the belly of the shinigami kumo.

Gaku choked but smirked as Jouichi stood there.

“Not going to work Joucihi.” He scoffed.

“This will.” The kumo lord stated growling.

Jouichi released a massive nami that slammed him backwards and Gaku was slammed straight through the oak door. The yoki blast ruined her entryway and the father hit his “son” and Naraku fell down. Asuna yelped and helped Jouichi and Naraku up and the hanyou stared at him almost in awe. She ran to the door but there was only a bloody trail.

“How in the hell did you figure all that out?” Asuna asked in surprise.

“I guessed.” Jouichi said out of breath.

“You strained yourself idiot!” She snapped.

“No issue. Nobu can see to it. Sorry hanyou.” He said sheepishly.

“It is quite all right. I am surprised.” Naraku said barely above a whisper.

“What that I care? I always have but I have always known what a disappointment I have been to you. I cannot take back what a wretched job I did as Hisashi’s father but I should like to be a friend.” He said softly.

“Perhaps if you keep manning up and not running away! You screwed up and we had to clean up your messes. I am still trying to figure out things. Damn you.” The dark hanyou stated suddenly in anger.

Naraku did not stick around and ported out via his shoki. Asuna sighed and Jouichi sighed too. He truly felt that no matter what that he would never be happy and he should not bother trying and just do what was best.

“Come on! You need to see Nobu.” She said quickly.

“Hai it would seem necessary. I am out of breath.” Jouichi murmured.

“You always amaze me you know.” Asuna stated as she ported them.

They appeared in Yamasaki General and she helped him to a gurney. He sat down and he lay down. Too much yoki had been spent but it had been a pretty powerful blast.

“I will always mourn Sakina but the twins are my life now Mitsukai. I love you and them with my whole soul. I have always loved you.” He said cupping her cheek.

“How can you be so powerful and so gentle?” She whispered as she kissed his palm.

“It is what I am. I need rest my angel. Oh Nobu! Goodness. I seem to have done myself ill.” Jouichi said with a sad smile.

Nobu always had issue with Jouichi but not in a bad way. He had such tremendous feelings that he had no idea how to express. He carefully hooked up an IV and soon Jouichi was sleeping heavily.

“His heart is still converting. Does that make sense?” Nobu stated gently.

“Hai. It will be some time before he is fully back to himself, correct?” She said looking up.

“Hai. What happened?” He asked hugging her.

“Well the shinigami form of Gaku the Elder was in my penthouse. Jouichi showed up and managed to blow open a huge secret. Nagaharu was set up to be murdered by Gaku and then Ayana too.” Asuna explained.

“Are you serious?” He asked dumbfounded.

“Hai. So everything we thought we knew about the Tsuchigumo Kingdom is not what we thought and the players were so deeply involved that it was horrid. Ayille and Ganek knew who Ayana’s soul was and they sought through players in her kingdom to destroy her. You were an innocent bystander.” She sighed.

“Jouichi did what?” Her healer asked.

“He blew Gaku through my front door. I now have a whole in the wall but I will get it fixed. The yoki he shows rivals mine Nobu.” She said astonished.

“I am humbled.” He said bowing his head.

“Goof! You act like you sired him.” She laughed.

“Well my soul did.” He smirked.

“Silly and goofy man. You look well.” Asuna murmured kissing him.

“I am better now. How are you feeling? No more bouts of marathon sleeping?” He asked holding her.

“No. I am much better. The barriers Asa put around the pup are holding. Things have been interesting in the estate. Gwydion is pouting because he went after Kameron.” She said growling.

“Went after as in how?” Nobu asked.

“Do you really want to know?” She asked amused.

“Uh no. Okay I will never understand but I am perfectly content with my life. So I will come tonight and I will check on you and this pup. Now you are to go back to the estate and lie down! Doctor’s orders.” He smiled.

“Okay.” She said smirking very softly.

Their kiss was soft and passionate as he decided to never take for granted what he had again. Being dead was quite the wakeup call he decided. He watched her port out and he checked Jouichi into the CICU yet again. Nobu walked into his office and picked up his coffee he had been drinking. He sat down and he signed into the server at the Sendai castle and he began to read some old history. He was deep into it when he heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.” He called.

Lady Yasua of the widows slipped in and he looked at her. She had the little bit of red speckling around her hairline and the same pixie figure that most widow onna had. Her black eyes perused his and he stayed calm. He did not like many widows and she smiled.

“It has come to my attention that the consort has been prying. So have you.” She said softly.

“Pardon me?” Nobu asked.

“My mother’s death was unjust. The thing with this modern age is that there is always a trail. You have been a naughty boy Doctor Yamasaki.” She said running fingers along his monitor.

“What the fuck?” He asked suddenly very nervous.

“You see I do not like who is in power. Her death was unjustified and I will have my revenge. It just will not do that my plans are shown. I will not have it known that I have given the ekimmu Bilae a way in.” She said sneering.

“Oh Kamis.” He said horrified.

“Hai you see the situation now but I also cannot kill such a beautiful man. No, I cannot kill such a pretty stud. I have had my eye on several of her men now and you will serve me.” She said coldly.

“Like hell I will!” He hissed.

“Sorry Doctor Yamasaki.” She smiled as another widow appeared from the shadows and stunned him in the neck.

“He really is beautiful Lady Yasua.” The small female said.

“Hai. He is. So is the ookami kumo. I want him as well. Make it happen.” She commanded.

“When do we attack?” Her subordinate asked.

“We attack in the past Ema. Bilae will make it happen tomorrow but I had to hand him the way into Sendai. Now take the pretty man to Okinawa.” She commanded.

Ema smiled and she ported with the famed healer. The former queen of the combined kingdom would lose her mind and the revenge of the Japanese widows would be complete.
