Slipping Slopes

Asuna was in the citadel with Esus and she was staring at nothing. This relationship had been good and had been filled with love. She relished it in this hell that was the extreme past. She even considered hunting Kameron down and turning him now. She did not wish to change history too deeply so she suffered.

“I have no idea how Bilae keeps me here.” She whispered.

“Drostan searches Asuna. He will find an answer. He is very good with his power. I am surprised you do not have it.” Esus said nearing her.

“I am only an infant the ekimmu say.” She said shutting her eyes.

“They are fools.” Esus murmured.

“These memories were better locked away. I am glad I remember you.” She said meeting his eyes.

“I am glad you remember me too.” He said cupping her cheeks in his large hands.

“Esus. I miss my pups. I miss my families. I miss my homes.” Asuna said shutting her eyes.

“I know. I am sorry. I am limited in my abilities.” He said tipping her head back and he stared at her face.

“We were good. We were right.” She said breathing deeply.

“Yes. It was good with us. For you it was near the end. I loved you so much.” He said softly.

She reached up and undid his shiny black hair and their lips met slowly. Esus liked to kiss. He did so often and she savored his feel. Asuna was busily taking from him and the heady nature of this wyvern and Drostan cleared his throat. Asuna smiled against Esus’s mouth and he grinned a little.

“Yes son?” He asked breathy.

“I am sorry Father. May I speak?” Drostan asked blushing a little.

Esus pulled away from her addicting lips and sighed. He looked at his son and nodded.

“Stonehenge is being used. I gather that these beasts you call Shouten? They are the ones who block the veils as they are called. The wraiths need to be taken out and I believe we can get you home.” He said softly.

“If we are having this conversation now; in theory you in my era will remember?” She asked.

“Yes Mother. I should be on that side of the veil attempting to reach out. You will have to have the ekimmu open a portal so far. I do not have that level of strength yet.” He said embarrassed.

“Well I have none of it.” She laughed.

Drostan nodded and he kissed her hand. She now began to realize how it was that he was so friendly in the future. They had built a relationship in the past. The heir of the Celtic wyvern left and Esus scooped her up and held her to him.

“I shall miss you. I have loved having you here.” He said softly.

“How do you know you are not in my future?” She asked looking up at him.

“You never say it. I also get the impression that I am no more.” He sighed.

“You are there but you sleep.” She admitted.

“Truly? How?” Esus asked stunned.

“Gwydion. I hate him.” Asuna stated shutting her eyes and feeling numb.

“You always hate Gwydion but you always go back. He is some twisted part of you that I will never understand.” He said.

“Well I hate him right now.” She snapped.

“Good thing you found him.” The wyvern said only holding her.

“Well he deserves to be in the ground right now. Fucking bastard.” His love snarled.

“Calm down.” He commanded.

“Oh?” Asuna asked amused.

“Yes. I command you to calm down and I will give you a back rub if you wish.” He smiled.

“Let me think…” She started in jest.

“Oh you have to think?” Esus retorted.

She giggled and he had gotten her in a better mood. He laid her down and playfully nipped and kissed her lovely body. She blossomed for him and the afternoon was spent in pleasant respite.

Fionn had hunted down fae in his spare moments and he hated being trapped. However Bilae was doing it; he was doing it well. Her hateful words and her hate towards him had been intolerable. He clenched his teeth and the warrior ekimmu pulled back his bow and let loose a lightning bolt arrow. It pierced the heart of the fae and he left as the filthy being died.

“You really need to stop killing them.” Asuna said from behind him.

“Why did you seek me out?” Fionn asked as he turned.

“Drostan informed me that Bilae has been using Shouten or Sotan of this era to basically keep us trapped on this side. You and I need fight together to get out.” She said flatly.

“As you see fit.” He bowed stiffly.

“As I see fit? You and Gwydion got together and planned my life. You and he still do it. Well I have news for you but you did not kill him. He is in the ground sleeping right now. How could you?” She demanded with ice in her tone.

“Attempt to kill Gwydion or kill your fae fuck buddy?” He asked coldly.

His unusual eyes looked dead and he was only being cruel to cover up much. The dark brown and grey swirled as he took her in. She suddenly grabbed a handful of his white hair and she was lip to lip to him.

“You felt guilt.” Asuna said growling.

“I regret it every day.” He said barely able to look at her.

“Why?” She asked darkly.

“Because I hurt you. You did not know it but I did. I loved you but I was nothing to you. I was only a prince. Gwydion was your half I suppose. You taunt me with the lie of Nemain.” He said turning his head to stare away from her.

“It was not a lie.” She said harshly.

“You cruel cruel bitch. I suffered.” Fionn said breathing harder, faster.

She kissed him and he did not expect it. Her lips ravished his and Fionn wrapped his sculpted arms around her. Hunger tore him up as his mouth communicated much. She worked his knot loose and his white mane fell down around them. The connection grew harder and their teeth clacked and their tongues dug and slipped. Fionn tried to pull his mouth away but she refused. He hissed and Asuna opened her eyes as they both had green eyes.

“If you do not stop then I will want. I am not allowed to want.” He stated flatly.

“Shut up.” She said kissing him more.

Fionn grabbed her hard and he flipped her away from him. She was caught surprised and his breath husked in her ear. His large warrior hands clutched her gauze material as he clutched and unclutched the yellow gold dress. His hands slowly cupped and began to knead her full globes. She shut her eyes again as he massaged her breasts and he was touching. She recognized it for what it was. One of Fionn’s hands drifted down her torso and fingers brushed her belly. He wrapped his arm around her middle and he pulled her tightly against his front. She felt his desire and she pressed against it. She ground her bottom back and she moved a little.

“Vixen.” Fionn whispered a fierce hiss.

“No. Very inu I assure you.” She said seductively.

She kept the grinding against his clothed and trapped cock and his eyes shut. Fionn was fighting his base nature. He fought his ekimmu ways and she was soon moving in such a way that the cloth became his enemy. Every slide of her pert ass against the material covered length was torture. The lightning ekimmu felt himself get too taut. He had not allowed himself to have any sort of relations in some time and this was too much. His gripped around her middle and his hand clutched her breast hard as he gasped. The pleasure numbed his brain and he felt his cock spill semen and he pressed his forehead to her neck and Fionn made deep pants.

“Always the warrior?” Asuna asked him.

“Yes!” He growled.

“In any of your past encounters did one of your warriors do so?” She asked passionately.

“I am not discussing this with you.” He growled more.

“Why not?” She pouted.

“Because you show up and do what Lady Asuna? I stabbed Gwydion because I hate him. I killed the fae prince in horrendous jealousy. Any more sins you wish me to list?” Fionn said trying to extract himself.

“In Japan, you showed up and had an encounter for what?” She asked him.

“Desire. I let my desire control me. It does not happen often I assure you. My selfish nature is as such not often seen. It does nothing for me when I am in battle.” He said stiffly.

She whirled on him and Asuna was feeling. She began to unlace his leggings and he hissed again and grabbed her hand forcefully.

“Have I touched you since that night?” He asked with bitterness.

“No.” Asuna stated.

“So why do you do so now?” The thunder ekimmu snapped.

She lifted his hand and pressed her to nose to his wrist. His mouth twisted and his eyes simmered as the vixen sank fangs into his flesh. Fionn did not realize that he made a noise and she eyed him a moment as she drank him. The wicked woman began to slurp and suck with a soft moan and the ekimmu man viciously suppressed his libido. Fionn felt her tongue flick the fang wounds and the air he got was too thin. His head felt dizzy and he suspected all blood flow had gone south. She lifted her mouth and his red life forced stained her lips.

“Your current life; honor is important to you, have honor.” He said tightly.

“You preach to me?” She demanded.

“Yes. I preach to you. You told me to never come near you again.” Fionn said coldly.

“I also was reeling and angry. I have had some time to think rationally.” Asuna replied.

“I have no wish to interact.” He stated not looking at her.

Asuna cocked her head to the side and Fionn was suddenly on his back and the wind was knocked out of his lungs. Her mental prowess was stronger; the ability to even move him as such took finite control over telekinesis. Her hand was out stretched and palmed faced out. He was not crushed but he sure as could not breathe.

“I wake up little by little. My yoki seems to get a little stronger. So thank you.” She snapped.

“Can we not leave all this alone?” He asked with a raw voice.

“You show up and fight me. You allow me to find you and then we have wild rutting. You leave and act like nothing happens. It was payback. Exception was that I did not remember and now I understand your motives. I can now see what I was told about Gwydion. He warned me a little you know. I should have seen it and I foolishly allowed myself to feel deep emotions. I thought it was Terre de Brume that made ekimmu cold but Gwydion is just that way. You are not.” She said falling to her knees.

He said nothing and he was attempting to fight her hold on him. She slowly unlaced his leggings in crème and Fionn was bared to the cool air and he was hard. He was very hard at the moment and she stared at him.

“Most men do not like to be stared at as such Arianrhod. It makes us think our anatomy is lacking.” He growled.

“Not lacking.” She whispered.

“Fine. Tuck it away and let me get up. You have humiliated me enough.” He said attempting hate.

“Humiliate?” She asked grasping his length.

“Unhand me!” Fionn demanded.

“I have to humiliate you Fionn.” Asuna tittered.

A moan did escape him and her eyes were trained on him. Asuna had felt utterly and completely betrayed by Gwydion but this man had felt horrendous and pained guilt. She could accept that and she flicked tongue over his sensitive organ. Her tongue swirled and dug. His walnut-steel eyes shut as shudders wracked his body.

“Oh no. Watch me Fionn. This is what you wanted? Did you not wish this?” She purred.

“Yes.” He said through clenched teeth.

She did not let go of him but she moved so that her lips grazed his. Fionn felt soft feminine lips kiss his over and over as she brushed the sweet skin over chin and slowly to his neck. Her grip on his male flesh was delicious as she gave him tender touches.

“Fionn.” She whispered against his collar bone.

“What?” He asked in a voice he did not recognize.

She covered his mouth and he lost it. No man could keep up a façade as such and her psychic presence was lifted. He rolled them as he hungrily devoured her lips and battled her tongue. Very soon he left her mouth and slowly dragged the bodice of the golden colored gown. Fionn kissed his way down her chest and lips very lightly brushed a pink tip. He was different and acted different as his hot orifice wrapped around her the jutting tit. It was so very sultry and passionate as Fionn kissed and suckled. She lifted her head and her face had a beautiful expression of her pleasure. He lifted his mouth to claim hers as his hand cupped and he rolled where his lips had been. Asuna moaned softly and eagerly kissed at him as he ground his length against her leg. His forehead rested to hers and he sucked in air with seeming difficult.

“Why do you stop?” She asked husking and kissing his cheek.

“Did you know about Nemain?” He asked harshly.

“When? In the past? I do not remember.” Asuna murmured.

“That is what you intended to tell. You were going to tell me what you had found and Gwydion stopped you.” He said as his yoki snapped and crackled about him.

“He said it made no difference that he raised her and you were nothing to her.” She said almost ashamed.

“You should have let his body rot!” Fionn snarled with rage.

“Have not many sins been committed?” She asked meeting his eyes.

She saw the swirls of color in his iris and he was strikingly beautiful. He was ripped to perfection; a magnificent warrior and he had morals, even if they differed some with hers. His white hair was free and seemed to be filled with static electricity. Asuna slipped a hand into his mane and the other cupped his cheek. Intimacy was created and he stared at her as she gazed into his innermost self. Fionn breathed in and he guided her to lay back. He lifted the skirt of the gown and his eyes never lost contact with hers. He slowly pushed himself in deeply and she made a face that told him much. They held their gaze as he began to move within and she rolled her hips to meet his thrusts. Fionn had never had such an encounter and still their eyes stayed locked. He watched as hers bled deep emerald green and she saw his do the same. He kissed her mouth several times and he was bordering on madness. Fionn moved his hips harder and she let out a cry.

“I want…oh my princess. I am losing my soul.” He said tightly and in a whine.

“I want it. I will have it.” She said snarling quietly.

Their lips clashed again and they bit. Blood spilled and they both growled as his thrusting came with force and she rolled her hips harder. Violent spasms began as they continued to kiss passionately. She wanted to snarl or scream out but it was swallowed by his own loud cries. The yoki was erratic and intense as Fionn let her lips go and his ekimmu cry was heavenly. He was whining as one of the most intense ends ripped from him. Asuna’s claws dug deep as she rode out a ferocious climax. Asuna’s head fell back and she snarled out with each spasm. Fionn was shook up and his way was to deal with issues up front and brashly. He had also shut away and pushed back feelings since so long ago.

“The castle.” She whispered nuzzling his neck.

“Yes.” He murmured and he phased them both.

They were still connected and he did not want to move. She bared her fangs and she sank them into his throat. His sigh was deep and she fed from his old blood. His body stirred again as her bite infected him. As she fed; he laid her flat and began to move within her again.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna was half laying on Fionn and he was awake. He stared at the ceiling of the old castle and he was mentally calculating moves. The warrior woman was also insatiable when unleashed. He made the decision to get them back to the modern era as quickly as possible and shut away this nonsense. Gwydion would wake up at some point but he wanted to kill him for stealing away his child. Asuna heard a mental buzz from the ekimmu beneath her but not his thoughts. Her fingers began to trace circles on his bare chest and he looked over at her.

“Awake finally?” Fionn asked.

“I was warm.” She said still sleepily.

“Lying abed will not return us to the other era or your current family.” He said gruffly.

“I do not like this you.” Asuna pouted.

“I live pragmatically. So we shall do as warriors do and fight.” He said sitting up.

“Hmm. So you say.” She stated laying back.

Fionn eyes simmered as the tart reclined back and opened her thighs widely. She beckoned him and he found himself moving forward and pressing naked flesh to flesh. She hungrily kissed him as he returned it. He typically did not speak his emotions. He was not an emotional man but this woman demanded and he was delivering. He found himself sheathed within her again as she cupped his jaw in her hand as she devoured his passionate caresses. They did not speak so much as communicate through their bodies and the way she was going; she communicated a lot. He fell against her as he growled out his climax and she clutched him tightly.

“Now I insist we dress and search a way.” He stated through his post orgasmic bliss.

“After a bath.” She yawned.

“Arianrhod!” Fionn snarled.

“Hmm?” Asuna asked as if ignoring him.

She rose naked and pulled on a yukata like garment. She tied it loosely about her waist and he glared at her.

“You are not like Gwydion. He liked to louse around.” She smirked at him.

“Correct. I am not my insipid older brother. Now dress.” He commanded.

“Do you command me or do I command you?” Asuna grinned.

“This will end you know. You feed your needs since that bastard is in the ground. I am a means to an end. I know how you are.” He said standing and she stared.

“Sure. I am using you.” She said in a deep sigh.

“Do you not? I wronged your previous life and somehow I cannot accept the idea that Nemain is reborn. I cannot accept the idea that one night of guilt and passion gave me something that I was denied. I have attempted to make up for my sins but what have you done to me?” Fionn demanded.

“As you wish. I am through fighting with the ekimmu. I was the heir and I was this powerful onna. I liked my men and I kept secrets. I had my own list of sins according to you all. Teruyoshi is trying to kill me and so is Bilae. Whatever! I am done. I am done with you and all of you.” She snarled as she quickly changed clothes.

He watched her port out and he slammed his fist on the bed. Fionn shut his eyes and he felt the hate and anger well up in him. Normally he would go kill some worthless enemy but there was none to be had at the moment.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She wandered the forests that were not that far from the Stones. Asuna was anguished and sad at all the hate and all the loss. It seemed so peaceful but she knew the blood had run like rivers along this place.

“I would have thought you gone.” She heard near her.

“Are you here to attempt to kill me?” Asuna asked and she turned to see the fae Beren.

“Should I?” He demanded.

“I am not your enemy fae. I did not even believe in your kind until I have seen you. So please go live your life and I shall attempt to salvage mine.” She stated coldly.

“I do not understand you.” Beren stated.

“I do not always understand myself. Go away.” She growled.

He was suddenly in front of her and she stared into his eyes. His face was so regal and royal looking.

“Your tears for my brother; why?” He asked.

“I have killed my enemies without mercy before. I have tired of the death. I have tired of the fighting. I wanted to attempt a treaty with your kind. I can see this hatred is not something I know or understand. I accept that but I will not fight you.” She said staring at those eyes.

“Ekimmu once numbered in the thousands. They were numerous and lorded over everything. They controlled and lead decadent lives. The waste was horrendous. You remember any of it?” Beren demanded.

“I have flashes of moments in that life. I will probably never gain the full memory of it no. What I have seen and remember is enough to make me weep with shame at such loss. I have a life now and I want to live it in peace but I cannot because Bilae has decided to try and take me out again. My ekimmu brethren have ideas for me and so do my enemies. Should you like to know a secret?” She asked softly.

“Go ahead.” He murmured.

“I have lived several lives. Most of them cut down early and tragically. I was never left to reach my full potential as I did when I was her. My previous lives were manipulated too. I have a bit of attitude problem now.” She said with bitterness.

Beren was astonished and he knew by her demeanor she spoke the truth. Her desire for no bloodshed truly boggled his mind and she went to move away.

“You said your name was Asuna.” He said looking at her.

“My name is Asuna.” She stated staring at Beren.

He crossed his arms and he sat down beneath the tree. His armor had a sheen to it that was surreal and she figured it was fae magics. Beren asked short questions and she spent the afternoon with a fae.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Drostan promised to deliver more information and she sat on rock overlooking a river. Fionn was gone again and she let it go. Beren found her and he sat beside her.

“Hunting?” She asked without looking.

“We found several large deer. It was a good day.” He admitted.

“Well good.” Asuna stated just bored out of her mind.

“How is it you look fae?” He asked bluntly suddenly.

She barked a laugh and she looked back at him. He was actually very engaging. Extremely intelligent and very witty. He would also sit for hours without saying a word. She found it amusing.

“I told you what I am. My sire’s ears are like this and I inherited his appearance.” She grinned.

“But you said he is a dog.” Beren stated.

“Hai. He is an inu. He is a full blood inu youkai. Very proud and very powerful.” She said smiling.

“He sounds fae but we do not change forms.” He said confused.

“Well maybe an inu got randy and busy with a fairy.” She snickered.

“We are not fairies.” He growled.

“Okay. Sorry.” Asuna laughed a little.

“How does it feel when you are changed?” He asked again bluntly.

“I am free.” She shrugged.

“I do not understand.” Beren stated totally confused.

“I can let out my inner youkai. I do not have to be civilized. I can eat a deer and frolic in a forest.” She smiled.

“May I see it again?” He demanded.

“Why?” Asuna asked the impetuous fae man.

“It is different. You are ekimmu but not. You are so pretty.” He said too bluntly.

“Okay. Step back and here goes.” She chuckled.

She let her yoki envelope her and she felt herself changing. Beren watched fascinated as her features changed and elongated. The woman’s size and appearance changed totally as the giant dog hovered over him. The silver fur glinted in the daytime sun. Beren grew fearless and he ran hands through her fur.

“You are lovely. I do believe my father would kill to have a hound as such. Beautiful beast.” He said in awe.

-Beast? - She questioned in his mind.

“Yes. You can speak with your mind. Very good.” He said looking up.

-Hai. I speak telepathically. I am normally mad or hungry when I change. - she laughed in his mind.

“So you are neither. My people would find you very interesting.” He stated still petting her.

-I need to find you a domestic inu and teach it to hunt. - Asuna laughed wildly in his mind.

“No.” He shook his head.

Beren beckoned her to lower her head and she did. He actually kissed her nose and she looked at him oddly. He stared at her crimson eyes and petted her snout.

“Thank you.” He whispered.

She changed back and he stood there calmly. She frowned and looked mightily puzzled.

“I want you.” He said bluntly.

“Why?” Asuna asked as bluntly.

“Because I do. Does there need to be a complex reason?” He asked her.

“I am not fae. Your kind hates ekimmu. I am the soul of an ekimmu. Let it alone.” She commanded.

“Asuna, you think it too much. My kind can be peaceful. Does the idea of my touching you bother you?” He asked brushing lips against her ear.

“I think it will complicate things. I think that I am at odds with Fionn and I put Gwydion in a death sleep. He will want revenge upon me. I think I will be at war with my own mate.” Asuna said stiffly.

“So you did save that murderer.” He hissed.

“I did. Should I lie?” She asked Beren.

“No. I would despise you if you did. I want you.” He breathed heavily in her sensitive ear.

“No. I respect you greatly. I think you beautiful and magical but I also see danger. I said leave it alone. I am not of your kind.” She said stepping back and bowing.

“You do not strike me as a narrow minded bitch.” Beren said coldly.

“No. I am also not stupid. I saw how easily you cut Gwydion’s throat. I have enough problems. I have seen what loving a fae does.” She said snapping.

“Pardon? Who?” He growled.

“My own daughter Mizuki loved a fae called a Yosei. It ended horribly.” She said coldly.

“Explain that word.” He demanded.

“Yosei is what we refer to as the spirit of the forests.” She tried to explain the elusive meaning.

“You mean a nymph. They are fragile fae and apt to deep and frivolous emotions.” He said staring her down.

“It ended badly. We called the fae the seirei in Japan. The seirei is also known as Soul Society.” She explained.

“You mean the spirit realm.” Beren understood.`

“Hai. Seirei and teijou are not meant to mix.” She said quitting his presence.

“I see. You speak nonsense you know. This soul apparently loved my cousin enough to start wars over his death. So apparently it was fine to love a seirei when you were a teijou.” He said mockingly.

“Shut up! He was reborn you know.” She said clutching her chest.

“Was he? How very odd.” The fae stated in anger and jealousy.

“Your kind has similar powers to ekimmu I realize. His name is Jouichi and he is a good man. He is a wonderful man and I adore him.” She said trying to flee.

“I will hunt you down. You speak utter nonsense because that ekimmu is here. You think I fear any ekimmu? You go and I will hunt you down.” He said gripping her arm tightly.

“I think you do not want to be my enemy.” Asuna said looking at him.

“Cower.” He said shoving her away.

She whipped her head around and he was gone and she was surrounded only by mist. Asuna felt utterly alone and she wept alone.

Drostan had delivered on his promise and he had wrought trouble and taunted the Soten to show themselves in Stonehenge. Esus stood with her and Fionn was nearby but they did not speak. The battle was short and bloody but Drostan was able to break some manner of seal upon the ancient gateway. She cried out in relief when the resulting explosion of yoki seemed to release the natural magic of the stone circle. She went to where Gwydion was buried and she slowly dug him up. He still slept and she intended to entomb him in Delphi. Fionn stood by and he used the stones to amplify his own yoki. She knew Beren was nearby but she ignored him. Esus also stood back and he waved. She waved as well and they went through. As soon as they appeared in Stonehenge in the other era; Fionn was gone. Asuna looked around and she barely touched Gwydion. She heard a noise and she saw Drostan. She cried out and she ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. He held her just as tightly and she cried.

“Mother.” He whispered.

“Hai.” She cried into his neck.

“You will not assist Nori anymore!” She growled in his ear.

“Did he tattle on me?” Drostan chuckled.

“No. I did not need to figure it out that much. Thank you.” She said kissing his cheek.

“I adore you. I know there was something but I cannot place my finger on it.” He said sadly.

“It matters not. I only know that the Soten have been busy trying to destroy our lives. Anyone remotely related to that tragic time they have attempted to control and thwart. Now you go home and see Akemi!” She commanded.

“Yes.” He nodded.

She watched him shift out and she ported with Gwydion to Delphi. Apollo was in his serpent form but he changed quickly. His mouth dropped open and she looked at him sadly.

“Watch over him? I cannot stand the sight of him.” Asuna said softly.

“What? Why?” The ancient serpent asked confused.

“He destroyed someone and lied about it then and continued to lie about it now. There is still so much I do not understand Apollo and Bilae trapped me in the past I think.” She said in a haunted tone.

“I did not know.” He said sick to his stomach.

“I do not know anything right now except that my current family is what I need worry about. I have to go.” She said porting out and leaving him there.

She walked into the Estate and she saw Ichigawa. She went into his arms and began to sob. He had no clue but she had been missing for over a week. His mate sobbed and sobbed as she lost her composure. Finally she fell asleep after begging to see Jouichi. He carried her to the kumo lord’s bedroom and the beautiful creature saw.

“Mitsukai!” He cried.

Asuna barely woke up and she crawled over to him and clung to him for dear life. Ichigawa watched until she passed back out and Jouichi looked at him concerned.

“Something wretched happened. She is so sad it is consuming her.” He said softly.

“My poor angel.” He said holding her sleeping form.

“I leave you to it for now my lord. I need to inform the kumo side of the family. Naraku will wish to come.” He said flatly.

Joucihi looked down at her head and he ran his hands through her hair. He held her and he wondered what could have possibly have been so sad.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna was awake and answered questions from Naraku, Ichigawa, and Nobu. She explained some and went into very little detail about others. She only stated Gwydion had been gravely injured and he was in a death sleep. She also quietly began to research where Esus may be resting. She also let Kheagan visit his brother Drostan. She did find out that Bilae and Ayille had attacked Soul Society which shocked her but she had to worry about finding Yasua and getting Masanori back. She was nursing Nemain as she read reports that Ichigawa brought her.

“You are different.” He whispered softly so as not to wake their pup.

“I remembered why Jouichi and I’s souls are tied.” Asuna admitted to him.

“What?” Ichigawa asked surprised.

“Tell no one. It does not matter anymore but Gwydion and Fionn murdered him. He was a fae prince and they rivaled the ekimmu for power. It appears that my soul was just as naughty then and she engaged him. His murder was made to look like it was a family thing. Arianrhod went on a tirade and began to kill the fae left and right. Their little duplicity cost her much and caused war to last millenniums. Gwydion and I are what I am not sure anymore. I do know that for now I want nothing to do with him.” She said looking up.

“Why?” Her inu consort asked surprised.

“Because his love of her was so obsessive that he refused for her to be mated to anyone but him. He was hateful and cruel about it. When she began to branch out; he began to take her lovers as his own. He was doing it again.” She said with tears streaming down her face.

“Asuna.” He said sitting and feeling with her.

“So I have no clue what to think and feel. Jouichi and Ayana were so impassioned because they had broken tradition and loved one another. I know nothing of the relationship and I do not want to. This life is enough.” She said closing her eyes.

“Go to him. I have Nemain.” He said taking their daughter.

Asuna kissed him with tender passion and he nodded for her to go. She stood up and went to Jouichi’s room and he was reading. His black hair was down and his smile was breathtaking. He chuckled as he turned the page and he finally looked up.

“Why do you just stand there Mitsukai?” He asked in a good mood.

“You smiled as you read. It was charming.” Asuna murmured.

“Oh?” Jouichi chuckled as he raised a brow.

She climbed onto his bed on all fours and she crawled over to him. He set his book beside him on his night stand and she began to claim his lips. He shut his black eyes and kissed her in return. It always became heated and passionate between them as she kissed him breathless.

“Mitsukai. My heart beasts so fast.” He complained.

“I am fixing that right now.” She stated almost desperately.

“Huh?” He asked confused.

“Before I really knew Ishin; I cut off his hand.” She explained.

“Okay. Why?” Joucihi asked stunned.

“Battle. I went to Sendai and kidnapped him.” She said softly.

“Okay. And?” He asked watching her undress.

“I had also left a nasty wound with my former fang Kumosaiga.” She said kissing his fingers.

“So good.” He moaned softly.

“So. I kidnapped him and used my tongue to help heal the wound and I kissed him.” She smirked sexily as she undid his pajama pants enough.

“Tell me what happened.” He panted softly.

“I did this.” She said sliding down his cock.

“You rutted him?” He asked confused.

“No silly.” Asuna chuckled.

She began to move on him and kiss him passionately and he was groaning into her mouth. He had missed this so much but he worried about his health. Suddenly Jouichi snarled and choked. She was forcefully pulling on his yoki and he could not make sense of anything. Asuna pulled on it several times harshly and he was losing any coherency. He fell to his back as she pressed her hands onto his chest and she channeled his own yoki back into himself. He actually screamed and fainted as she let it go. His mate and lover grew worried and she came off of him. Asuna pressed her ear to his chest and his heart was beating strong and hard. She smiled and she just stayed there listening to his heart beat steady and his chest rose and fell. Asuna did not realize she was crying and his hand came to rest on her hair.

“Thank you.” He said sleepily.

“Hai.” She whispered.

“I know no one else strong enough to do so.” Jouichi murmured as he succumbed to sleep.

“My mother.” Asuna stated barely above a whisper.

“Ai shiteru mitsukai.” He said and his eyes were shut.

“Ai shiteru Jouichi.” She said in return.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jouichi was up and he was grinning as she slept on. He felt wonderful and he decided he was going to spar his mate. He had not done so in a long while and he slapped her backside playfully to wake her up. She was snoring heavily and he rolled her over.

“Oh Mitsuaki.” He whispered.

He sighed and he carefully wrapped her in a sheet and he ported to Nobu. She was laid on a bed and Jouichi paced. Nobu slipped in and Jouichi smiled at him.

“You look good!” Nobu said in surprise.

“Thank you Doctor Yamasaki!” Jouichi smiled warmly.

“What did she do?” He asked.

“She surged my yoki back into me. She told me she did so to Ishin?” He asked softly.

“Oh yeah. She did that but in all fairness she had cut his hand off.” He chuckled.

“She is not pregnant?” The former lord asked.

Nobu closed his eyes and listened. He was relieved and he looked up at Jouichi.

“No. Thankfully for once. That last one scared the hell out of me.” Nobu said sighing.

“I should know you better. Why are we so awkward?” Jouichi asked cocking his head to the side.

“I guess because of who I was. I remember things sometimes.” He blushed.

“Like?” He asked Nobu raising a sculpted black brow.

“Your conception. Terrible fight and Ayana was furious. Nagaharu was calm but very forceful.” He said blushing worse.

“Ah I see. I suppose that would be awkward. I should have liked to know my real father.” The elder kumo stated.

“I think he would be most proud of his son.” Nobu said looking down.

“So. She is just sleeping?” He asked changing the subject.

“She is dreaming.” Nobu stated slipping into her mind.

“Oh! How do you do that?” Jouichi asked surprised.

“Just a thing I can do.” He said bashfully.

“You are amazing. You have keen intuition. What does she dream?” the lord asked.

“A battle.” He said shaking his head.

“Well I shall take her back now.” He said picking her up.

“Hai.” He nodded.

Jouichi picked her up and he ported via his shoki. Nobu ran his hand through his hair and it was always hard for him to deal with him. He always got flustered and he always got shy when it came to Gaku Jouichi. He remembered he had wished to name him Hiroki. Nagaharu had never spoken his wish to Ayana before he had died. Now he stared at the man his previous life had sired and he could not help but feel something. It ate him up occasionally and he shut it away like he always did.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She woke eventually and she had been in the midst of a nightmare. Jouichi saw her face and she hugged him tightly. She finally pled hunger and she went to her own suite. She wiped her eyes and she was still so out of control angry. She ported to Korea and she startled Naraku.

“What happened?” He asked.

“Nothing. Now do we have any idea what is going on with the widows?” Asuna asked.

“I am certain she is in the deep past but during Jouichi’s reign. Koi, you can talk to me! What happened to the ice boy?” Naraku demanded.

“I do not want to talk about it! Is it okay with you?” She asked him in a temper.

“You are shaken. I feel your general angst and your bitterness. What happened?” He demanded.

“I want to be done with the ekimmu! I want to deal with our family. Gwydion is no longer apart of the equation.” She yelled.

“What happened?” He demanded.

“This life is what matters! I am no longer her! I am tired of everybody trying to kill me for her life. I am done! Okay? I am done! I am Lady Asuna. I am me. I am us. FUCK!” She said holding her head and beginning to scream.

He grabbed her and held her as she began to sob. Naraku had not seen her so shaken up in a long while. She was acting completely onna and the hanyou held onto her tightly as she poured out her emotions.

“Gwydion betrayed me as Arianrhod. He killed someone dear to her because she loved him. He killed him because he was a rival. He became mad in his paranoid love and he is doing it again!” She said clutching at his dress shirt.

“I do not remember.” He whispered.

“It happened before Arawn. Very young. She was very young and Gwydion destroyed him. The only thing is that the man he killed is here.” She said staring at his mahogany eyes.

“Jouichi.” He said stunned.

“Hai.” She nodded.

“This man. Who was he?” Naraku asked softly.

“Nwyvre Ancalímon.” She said haunted.

“That name.” He said narrowing his eyes.

“If we could find the fae in this era; we may find a huge ally against Bilae. Nwyvre was a fae prince in Wales.” She sniffed softly.

“I see. Mizuki knew that yosei.” He said holding her to him.

“That yosei is an Arrancar now named Tesla. Can you imagine that conversation?” She asked almost laughing.

“Hai. We will get Masanori back. Now I want you to go home to Tokyo and I will join you tonight.” He said kissing her head.

“Hai.” Asuna nodded and she actually obeyed him.

Naraku knew that the pythos Apollo was in Delphi and he ported over to the ancient oracle and he found a giants python looking serpent. He looked the beast up and down and crossed his arms.

“Is my home in the directory of demons?” Apollo asked in his true form.

“No. I am Naraku.” The hanyou said shortly.

“I know who you are Arawn.” Apollo stated changing form.

“Did your boyfriend really do all Asuna said he did?” Naraku demanded.

“Knowing Gwydion as I do then probably. He is snarky, mean, cruel, devious, powerful, and crazy in love with her. He loved her even as small little ekimmu. He can be downright evil when he chooses to. I can honestly tell you it is because he does love her so.” The pythos answered honestly.

“Where is he?” The dark hanyou said with reddened eyes.

“In my caverns. I will not allow you to harm him.” Apollo said defensively.

“I was Arawn! Show me where he is!” he snarled.

Apollo stepped back and he allowed the Halfling to pass him up. Apollo slowly directed him to where his lover slept and Naraku stared down at the blonde ekimmu. He slowly knelt and he grabbed the seemingly dead man’s jaw and within moments Gwydion gasped awake and he was snarling in agony.

“You will explain yourself to me of everything or I shall send you to Annwn right now.” The dark hanyou said cruelly.

“Let me go! Let me go brother! Let me go.” Gwydion snarled in agony.

“You had better start talking. The truth for once ekimmu slime!” Naraku hissed.

“Halfling!” Apollo snarled.

“I will talk. I will talk, please!” He groaned in pain.

“Did you or did you not kill her first love?” The hanyou demanded.

“Yes! I killed him. Fionn and I killed him.” He said rolling to his side and throwing up.

“You led the ekimmu into a war with these fae beings because why?” Naraku demanded in a tyrannical voice.

“She loved him! She loved him and not me! I loved her! I still love her.” Gwydion snarled.

“You fucked up, arrogant asshole. So your Samyaza persona was not so far off?” He asked meanly.

“He was fae!” He actually cried.

“I have not a fucking clue what that means but you are going to get on your hands and knees to beg her forgiveness and then you are going to kiss every ass we tell you. You are going to be the golden boy you appear to be.” The reborn Arawn said grabbing his blonde head and twisting hard.

“Yes! Yes!” He cried.

Naraku let him go and he walked away from the pained ekimmu. He dared Apollo to do anything and he ported via his miasma.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She stood around Fuji and she was slashing and fighting beside Ichigawa, Jouichi, Geming, Baku, Hideaki, Yuudai, Changming, and Sheng. They slashed and fought their way through Soten and Sistern. It was very ugly and Asuna was slashing and cutting hard. Her body was littered with small wounds but to fight like this exhilarated her. She channeled her anguish and she sliced open a Soten in its belly. The wraith fell dead and she turned to begin attacking a Sistern. She decapitated the ghoul ekimmu and her inu mates noticed how lethal she was being. Asuna stiffened and so did Jouichi. He felt her but Asuna moved first. She ran and saw Ayille in snake form. She appeared like a cobra and she snarled at the Ramanga. Ayille went to strike but Jouichi dropped down from a tree. Asuna suddenly realized that she was fighting with Jouichi and he looked up when she yelled in his head. Asuna grabbed his hand in hers as they both had their fangs. Jouichi looked over at the love of his life and nodded. They spoke not with their voices but with their telepathy and sometimes anticipated each other. The resulting nami that the inu empusae onna directed slammed into Ayille and she screamed and shrieked. The Ramanga changed form and she looked grotesque as Jouichi’s venom had mixed with some sort of super heated air. Ayille pulled her trident and she began attacking Asuna. Jouichi whirled in time to catch Bilae’s sword. The ekimmu was surprised to see the spider and he fought more than well. He fought with fluid grace and a high degree of skill and he blocked attack after attack.

Asuna was busy blocking with Konkisaiga and slashed with her dagger. She was also startled to see Kenta in the distance. She used her wind dagger and slashed a gaping wound on Ayille who in turn screamed horrific obscenities at her. She smirked but she was backhanded with such forced that she skidded on the ground straight into Bilae knocking him over. The ekimmu shouted at Ayille who went to jump Asuna but Jouichi almost cut his throat wide open. Bilae had to grab Ayille and phase to avoid being kumo fodder. Jouichi ducked and swung his katana when he looked to see if she was okay. Asuna crawled forward and she watched Kenta fight and her mouth dropped open. It was sexy as hell to see him half stripped and she was staring raptly. The kumo man punched his fist through a Sotan and jerked back his appendage and the wraith fell. She watched him whirl and land a powerful roundhouse kick to another Soten. Kenta looked at her for a moment and he went back to fighting. Asuna found herself standing and she trudged closer. One was fixing to land a nasty blow and Kenta whirled to see a blast of raw yoki brush past him and decimate the Sistern. The creature screamed as it was blown away. His grey eyes held hers and she saw lust. Pure unadulterated lust and she was taken back. He said nothing and went on about his business. The craziness was overwhelming and soon she was near him again and she used the confusion. She grabbed his hand and she ported out as she knew the battle was pretty well over.

Kenta for his part slammed her against fridge. It was freakish to be in the midst of blood and gore and the next; in his kitchen ripping open her haori. Their lips met violently as he worked to get to skin. Soon enough he was impaling her and she released guttural groans as he took what he needed and wanted. Kenta smashed lips against hers and she bit his tongue. Their colliding pelvises would be bruised but it was so good. He soon roared a massive climax and she was shrieking through clenched teeth. Their heaving chests and sweat soaked bloody bodies. He stared at her face and it was round two. They slid down his fridge and he proceeded to fuck her senseless. He was laid over her and their claws had ripped up and blood stained his floor. He was barely conscious and he felt parched.

“Get off of me.” She groaned.

“Hai your majesty.” He growled.

She used the fridge handle to hold herself up and she grabbed bottled water from the inner portion of the ice box. She threw him one in which he caught.

“Where have you been?” He demanded.

“I was trapped in the past.” Asuna said downing the precious water.

He had no idea why he asked the question and he stared at her.

“Shower.” Kenta said drifting back towards his room.

“Hai.” She said following him.

She had no idea either why she reacted this way. Round three began before they made it to the shower. Kenta ended up bending her over his bed to bury himself deeply. She screamed and moaned the way he liked. She voiced her pleasure and tried to take control but he would wrestle it from her. He really could care less who she was exactly and the rutting was making him an addict in a bad way. His fingers were laced in hers and he was pushed in deep but slowly; excruciatingly so.

“Bastard!” She cried out as she shook hard.

“Such sweet words.” He chuckled.

“Please!” Asuna cried out.

“Say it onna. Say exactly what you want me to do.” Kenta said gasping back his own end.

“Fuck me! Hard! Do it hard.” She snarled.

She whimpered each time he hit home and he was spiraling. He was choking when her climax hit. He was groaning hard as her walls clutched him so tightly he thought he would faint. Kenta fell against her and she was smashed into his mattress.

“Like your stud?” He whispered in her ear.

“You piss me off.” She growled underneath him.

“Never would have thought an Inu could be so good.” Kenta chuckled.

He got off of her and threw open a drawer of his night stand and pulled out a small bottle of vodka.

“Here.” He said tossing it to her.

“Damn it!” Asuna growled as she caught it.

He smirked and he suddenly grabbed it from her. He took it and he sat on her to pin her down. He poured the stiff liquor on her breast and he suckled it roughly. She hissed and he slowly repeated the process. He had her withering really soon and he raised a brow at her when he jerked open her thighs.

“Dare me?” He chuckled.

“You would not.” She said aghast.

He poured it between her female flesh and she nearly shot off the bed. He pinned her down as he devoured her and she buried her hands in his hair as he attacked her shrouded parts.

“Next time tell me when you go.” Kenta growled against her labia.

“Huh?” Asuna asked confused.

“Tell me when you go so I will not wonder.” He snapped.

“Hai.” She said more confused.

He lay against her soon enough and he lazily kissed her as he took her again. She was thrown for every loop and she slept in his arms after several hours of muscle ripping, claw scoring, and marvelous sex. Asuna slept deeply and his hand slowly went through her silver mane and he soon enough fell asleep.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It became a pattern and the amazing but marathon sex made her crazed. They spoke hate filled words meant to insult but the second they bared flesh; they became one. She stayed out of his head and Kenta made her beyond insane. He refused to admit that he liked her and she was too stunned by his actions to admit anything. Naraku mentioned that Kenta seemed more focused and he had no idea why. Asuna noticed that for the most part Kenta was staying sober. He demanded. There was no doubt that he would know her intentions and he would yell at her. So why they narrowed a time frame to rescue Masanori; she went about falling for his wounded brother. After a busy day of dealing with her family; she was in his bed and she was reading as he snored on his side. She did not pry any further into his pain and he just was.

“Turn out the light.” He grumbled.

“I am reading.” Asuna snapped at him.

“I said turn out the light.” Kenta snapped at her.

“I am leaving.” She said in a temper.

“No.” He growled and he grabbed her hips as she tried to get up.

“All you do is yell at me.” She said aghast.

“So? Your Lady Fucking Asuna. Who gives a damn what I think? Correct?” He snorted.

“I do care a little what you think.” She retorted.

Kenta laughed and laughed at that little bit of irony and it was one of the few times she had seen him laugh. His whole face lit up and she was captivated. She leaned over him and began to kiss him softly. He was not sure what he was supposed to do with tender so he responded in kind. He ripped his lips away and he rasped hard.

“She raped my mind.” He said harshly and quite suddenly.

“Huh?” Asuna asked confused at his confession.

“The bitch who pretended to be Airi. She raped my mind.” Kenta admitted.

“Did she do the same to your body?” She asked tightly.

“She did the whole bit. Told me I was good for sex. Said I was built for it.” He said running a hand through his hair.

“I am sorry.” She said sickened.

“Do not do the pity thing okay? I told you because you know.” He said getting up.

“Is that it Kenta?” Asuna asked feeling the “ending badly” coming on.

“Do not make this complicated, okay? I really like this. I like how this is and let us not ruin it. Masanori was the goodie goodie growing up. He was the one who could connect. I am terrible at it.” He said stiffly.

“I see. I am tired Kenta.” She said shutting up and she laid the book on the night stand.

He noticed it was a book about mythic creatures. He nodded and he flopped down on the bed and he turned out the light. She lay on her side and it was the first real time he had made her cry. Asuna was not prepared to fully give a damn and she shook with silent sobs. Kenta laid there awake but she did not need illusions. He had explained that he would take the physical gladly and give her whatever she would need in that respect but he was still hateful. She waited till his breathing evened out and she stole away. She ported to Tokyo and her penthouse and she was in some ways sick of the men in her life. Asuna was not prepared to see Gwydion and she was on him snarling the second she saw his blonde head. He had to throw her and she lifted her face snarling.

“I beg you.” He rasped.

“Why? Another lie?” Asuna hissed at him.

“I love you.” He cried as if it was enough.

“You told me so much bull shit! I opened that place for you!” She cried out in furious anguish.

“I get crazed. I know not how to stop it.” Gwydion rasped.

“Not give in to the crazy.” She yelled.

“I will die. I cannot live without you. I will die.” He said with his frozen tears and he fell to his knees.

“I do not want your brand of love. You get psychopathic and think it is justified. I am not your doll Gwydion. I was alive then and I probably slept with as many men as I could find to deal with you and your brand of crazy!” She retorted.

“You were my twin!” He screamed.

“I have a twin this life and we are quite close but not like that.” She snorted.

“Do not mock me!” Gwydion snarled and screamed.

“Then do not be mocked.” Asuna said coldly.

“His father wanted our father dead. You and that fae were the heirs. You hated him at first. I began to see how you looked at him when they tried to make peace. He was older then you. He should never have touched you. You were sworn to me!” He said actually weeping like a small child.

“Stop.” She said choking back her own emotion.

“You swore you loved me Arianrhod. You swore it and you lied to me first.” He said slipping to the floor.

“So you killed an innocent man?” Asuna cried.

“He was not innocent! He stole you from me.” He raged.

“Because he was fae or because what?” She said shaking him.

“Because as long you breathe I can. I have always loved you.” He wept insensibly.

She cautiously neared him and he reached for her. He wrapped his arms around her and wept into her neck. She had never quite seen him this emotional. Gwydion Hammel; Lord of the Winter and Ice was weeping as a small child and clutching her tightly. She realized all right and she would never let him go. She sought his mouth and he growled as he kissed her wretchedly. They had a sick, twisted need for the other and they would always end up hating the other but they also would never exist without the other. Asuna did not understand how she understood it but she did. Their kisses grew heated and wild as he bared her chest. His hands cupped her and Asuna hissed out and moaned as he touched her.

“Forgive me.” He begged.

“I hate you.” She said sobbing through his touching.

“Forgive me!” Gwydion pleaded.

“Never lie to me again. I care not what evil you have done. Tell me the truth!” She hissed harshly.

“I promise.” He whispered as he sucked at her mouth.

Gwydion laid her back and slowly grazed her skin with his cold lips. She gasped harder and he was between her thighs drinking from her very core. She was verging on blacking out when he arranged himself in her. She melted his cold skin and he screamed out as they became one in soul.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gwydion lay there with his arms around her and he held her tightly. He shut his eyes and he wondered if he was meant to be mad. Some days he felt it and she stirred and she yawned and grumbled for blood. He let her feed from him and soon he grew hungry himself. Asuna moaned as he nuzzled her neck. He slipped his fangs in deeply and he was hit with uber sweet. He shut his eyes and he felt his damn tears return.

“Arianrhod?” He whispered.

“Hai?” She said heavily.

“You carry.” Gwydion said too softly.

“Fine. I want it to be a girl and you will quit bitching.” She said getting up.

“Please do not be rude.” He begged her.

“I am still angry with you. I will forgive you but you have a lot to prove.” She snapped.

“Yes.” He said bowing his head.

“I need some time alone.” Asuna said getting up.

He went to protest but it died on his lips when he saw her face.

“I have only loved you. You have been the only woman I have ever loved.” He said strained.

“Then honor me enough to respect me.” She said meeting his eyes.

“I will be with Apollo.” He whispered.

She nodded and he phased out. She was stunned at herself for accepting him back so easily. She admonished herself but she went to get dressed. She intended to get scout the area where Mizuki had first Ayumu so long ago. Asuna had looked at the myths at the other worldly beings called fae. They were called elves, faire, fey, and various other spellings. The yosei had always indicated that there were many kinds of seirei. She was in “Ayumu’s Forest” as Mizuki used to call it and she looked deeply at things. She knew they did not appear what they seemed. Asuna also began to wonder at the sacking of Sendai. It was close to this forest and it seemed that Bilae was taking the adage “knowledge was power”. She also knew Kenta would be angry at her leaving but she could not deal with a mentally damaged ookami kumo man at the moment.

“Hello.” She heard not too far from her.

“So this is a veils thin place.” She said turning.

“You would be correct.” Beren said with crossed arms.

“Why are you in Japan?” Asuna asked.

“Why are you?” The fae said staring hard.

“I was born here.” She retorted.

“I told you I would hunt you down. My hunt lead me here.” He stated flatly.

“I see. So you know now of all the war.” She sighed.

“Of course we know. We felt you open Terre de Brume. There were demands you be stopped.” He said coldly.

“Deal with Soul Society?” She asked meanly.

“Because your kind calls us the seirei does not mean that we are. We exist within and around you pathetic daemons.” Beren said fiercely.

“Bravo. See I told you that you did not wish to know me.” Asuna said in sarcasm.

Beren had her against a tree and his lips hovered hers.

“I did not say that. You said it if I remember correctly. See? Not a sweet nymph.” He whispered.

“Did not take you for sweet Beren.” She said staring at his unusual eyes.

“I took you for ripe.” He said huskily.

“What do you want?” Asuna asked almost stupidly.

“I told you what I wanted. You dismissed me.” He growled.

“I am from this era. I dismissed you for a reason.” She said lifting her chin.

“I am a prince. I have access to great and amazing power and you could not tell me that a fucking ekimmu trapped you there?” He said coldly.

“This is not for you.” She growled.

“You or this existence?” Beren said cupping her chin.

“Did not mingling before cause issue?” Asuna said breathing rapidly.

“Shall I be devious?” He asked smiling barely.

“What?” She asked confused.

“I am told fae blood tastes decadent, succulent, luscious; almost juicy.” He said lifting his wrist and cutting down with a small knife.

She gasped and Asuna could smell it up close. Her eyes bled green and she stared at him in horror.

“I see that the myths are true.” Beren stated as the blood ran down his bare forearm.

She jerked her head to the side and tried to ignore the smell.

“A blood drinker who denies herself blood?” He asked shocked.

“I can eat real food like you. I do crave blood but I crave a juicy steak too.” She said trembling.

“I am letting you take it. I am allowing it. I assure you no other blood drinker has tasted me.” He whispered in her ear.

Asuna actually whined and she shoved him back. She was getting the impression that a fae lover would be a really bad thing. It was one thing when she was Arianrhod but she had him now as Jouichi. He was a normal youkai; albeit a very powerful and gorgeous one, but normal nonetheless.

“You want me. I know you do.” The fae prince yelled at her.

She stared at him and his chest was heaving. Asuna looked up and Fionn stood by. His face held fury and he stared at the fae prince. Beren sneered and she quickly came between them.

“NO!” She screamed.

“Get out of the way Arianrhod.” Fionn snarled.

“Yes, get out of the way woman.” Beren sneered at the ekimmu.

“No bloodshed here. I will not allow it!” Asuna cried.

“You will not allow it? How about you stand back and let me take care of this worthless being.” The white haired ekimmu said coldly.

“You take care of me? Laughable. I tell you what ekimmu. I will let you believe your delusions and you ponder that thought.” The fae stated as he suddenly grabbed her and the mists grew up.

Fionn realized the bastard had grabbed her and he looked around in shock. They could venture into the land of the fae but it was unadvisable. He yelled in rage and he phased out to Apollo’s dens. Gwydion was still nursing his wounded pride and he saw his would be killed in the form of Fionn.

“Shut up before you start you sorry bastard! A fae grabbed Arianrhod.” He stated with cold cruel malice.

“You allowed a fae to steal our sister?” He screamed at Fionn.

“I allowed nothing you pansy ass bitch! A Saxon fae has decided he wants her.” The lightning ekimmu snapped.

“Like hell!” Gwydion snapped.

“Are you leaving?” Apollo demanded.

“Yes! I just got her conditional forgiveness. I refuse to lose her.” He said helplessly.

“Oh heavens. She took you back?” Fionn asked in disbelief.

“She was my twin Fionn. You have no clue what that is.” The ice ekimmu sneered.

“I have an idea that it means you both are insane.” He laughed bitterly.

“She has my child Fionn.” The blonde said scoffing.

“She has born you a son I know.” He shook his head in mounting bitterness.

“No idiot. She carries my child now.” Gwydion taunted.

Gwydion did not see the look Fionn gave him but Apollo did. There was a look of pure hate and mounting homicidal thoughts. The ice ekimmu phased out and Apollo looked at Fionn and the thunder ekimmu stared at the pythos.

“You touched her again.” The serpent said knowingly.

“Shut your face Greek.” Fionn said phasing out.

Apollo could see that Fionn and Gwydion were going to end up fighting terribly and possibly killing each other before they had a chance to stop Bilae. He could also see the volcanic ekimmu sitting back and laughing his ass off at the current predicament but he could not help but think that the bastard planned it. The “sun god” got himself pulled together and decided to find his distant relations the Servius and demand they do something.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna looked around and the forest was larger; wilder. The mists ebbed and flowed all around and she was shaking and to think that Mizuki was able to traverse into this plane of existence. It occurred to her that her daughter had inherited deeply embedded traits that she herself should have had.

“You should have left me there Beren.” She snapped.

“I want you to tell me about this nymph that loved your daughter.” Beren commanded.

“Ayumu? He was just a young boy. They met as youths and they ended up mating.” Asuna stated shaking her head.

“So the boy loved and took your daughter as his wife?” He asked almost bored.

“He is dead. He was killed when the Shouten fought us courtesy of Sanra and her ilk.” She said looking down.

“So you see it is and can be done.” He said smugly.

“He is dead! I do not see that as being done Beren. Are all you fae so fucking arrogant?” Asuna asked feeling like prey.

“Yes. Very arrogant.” He said nearing her.

He had her head tipped back and he began to kiss her hungrily. She was stunned as his mouth was hot and passionate. She also got the impression he knew way more than he was stating. Beren slowly pulled back his mouth and his look was sultry and this man was something terrifying to her senses.

“The boy.” He said in her ear.

“He is dead! Are you deaf?” Asuna trembled.

“No. I hear quite well thank you. Where is he?” Beren asked stroking her marks on her cheeks.

“An Arrancar.” She trembled.

“He will be rescued.” He said pulling away from her.

“Pardon?” She asked stunned.

“He is fae however low. I will not allow him to suffer for those out there.” He said sneering.

“He has been dead for centuries.” She replied more confused.

“We are not their kind. My father will do my wishes. Come you have plenty to see.” He said flatly.

“What? Why?” Asuna asked feeling drunk and out of control.

“Because you cried for my brother. You tried to honor him and give him a burial; it was odd to see as we join back to nature if we die but you tried to mourn him. You know what you were and you still tried.” He said in a short temper.

“Why do the ekimmu and fae hate each other so much?” She tried to fathom.

“Taranis is said to be the brother of our maker. As Taranis is something akin to an ekimmu; our maker was said to be fae. Your former father was fae. He mingled with other beings to produce those things.” He said watching her.

“Confused. I am really confused.” She said back stepping.

“Watch where you step. You may step on sprites.” He said looking amused.

Her eyes widened and she suddenly fainted. Beren sighed and the mortal daemons were so confined in their thinking. His father had told him to bring her and he had done so. He had also permission to mate her. He could feel ekimmu within her and he sneered.

“You can still unite us. I have very little time.” He whispered to the woman he had fallen for.

Naraku stared at Fionn and Gwydion as they told him what happened. He had lost his temper badly and he had belted both ekimmu across the face. The ice and lightning ekimmu picked themselves off the floor and Efnisien snorted with laughter.

“You sorry bastard!” Fionn hissed at chaos.

Efnisien dissolved into riotous laughter and Naraku yelled at them all. He stormed to his bedroom and picked up his phone. He kept hearing “fae” and the only one he knew of was Ayumu. He called on Mizuki and she picked up the phone first ring.

“Hai?” She said sleepily.

“Get to Korea now.” He snapped.

“Hai sir.” Mizuki said as her sire slammed down his phone.

“Who is that calling?” Karu demanded.

“My Chichi. He sounds pissed. Sorry.” She grumbled.

“Mizuki!” Renshu pouted.

“Hush you two. Where is Soren?” Mizuki asked as she stood up and began to dress.

“Fighting with Maec again. You could kiss him or me.” The kumo prince grinned.

She rolled her eyes and her mates were horny bastards. She leaned over Renshu to kiss Karu when her Shouten love and sucked on her breast suddenly. She groaned and she grew antsy.

“Hurry back.” Karu purred.

“Oh fuck.” Mizuki whimpered.

“Hai. Fuck.” He chuckled.

Renshu kissed Karu for good measure and she groaned badly. She cursed her father’s calling and cursed the hanyou no sex. She was fully dressed and she ported to the Korean estate. She waved at Efnisien and he waved right back. Naraku had his arms crossed as he glared at two ekimmu she did not know well.

“Mizuki. This is Gwydion and Fionn Hammel. They let your mother get kidnapped.” Naraku hissed as he glared at both the ekimmu.

“Shut up Arawn!” Fionn hissed.

“Shut up Fionn!” Gwydion hissed at his younger brother.

“Okay by what?” Mizuki asked surprised.

“A fae.” Her father said bluntly.

Both ekimmu saw her begin to tremble badly and she mouthed the word.

“How?” She asked in a raw voice.

“No idea. You can see them. You know how to get there. Get Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum over there please? I have got to find Masanori!” He snarled.

Both ekimmu stared at her and she actually blushed. Mizuki had not even attempted to see any seirei in centuries. She knew Tesla still and he was her lover when he had time. He believed in the cause against the Shouten and he saw her when he could. The Arrancar was in fact only a shadow of what he had been as Ayumu.

“You see them?” Fionn asked astonished.

“I can see them hai. I have not seen them in a long time. I try not to bring it up.” She said upset.

“How do you see them?” Gwydion asked nearing her.

“With my eyes!” Mizuki hissed at them.

“Ekimmu and fae are not friendly.” Efnisien stated from his perch.

“Would someone shut him up?” The ice prince snarled.

“Come make me cousin. Oh so delightful. I love it. Arawn my master, what would you have me do?” He asked to annoy Fionn and Gwydion.

“Continue to search for Masanori. I cannot stand the look his boy is giving me! He cries for his Chichi and I will give him back his father.” He snapped as he walked by everyone.

Mizuki really did not want to search for fae but the only place she knew was to look in the old forests of the Yosei. She kept back her emotions and she was trembling. Gwydion could feel her pain and Fionn observed the shaking limbs. She ported both male ekimmu and she looked around.

“Watch where you step!” She commanded as she could see the little beings running in terror.

“You actually see sprites?” Fionn asked narrowing his eyes.

“Hai!” She snapped.

Gwydion and Fionn stared at the other and both were certain that she was a former she elf. It was the only explanation as she narrowed her eyes.

“There. The mist is thinner there.” She stated.

“I see. Why are you here?” Gwydion demanded.

“I do not understand the question.” Mizuki asked.

“You! Why are you here and who were you?” Fionn asked.

“No idea. Look there it is and I have two mates at home. Go fuck yourselves assholes.” She snarled and ported out.

“Somehow I think Bilae is vying for our enemies help.” The ice prince said to the other.

“Or perhaps our old enemies are inserting themselves into our wars.” The thunder ekimmu stated actually shuddering.

“Can you imagine the army of fae that could decimate us?” His blonde sibling asked.

“Damn. We did not need this Gwydion. I hate your rotten guts! I wish we had never killed that man. They hated us enough and now they have Arianrhod.” He snapped.

“I will not let a fucking fae have her again. I will not allow it!” He said cruelly.

“Watch it. You already murdered one of her lovers in the past.” Fionn stated shutting his eyes a moment.

“Oh I know. You coward and your whiney ways.” Gwydion sneered.

“Shut up.” His brother stated.

The ice ekimmu was suddenly behind him and dragged ice across his throat and Fionn was shocked. Gwydion watched him fall to his knees and his look was filled with rage.

“Pay back stinks does it not Fionn? Now you are here amongst our enemies and I care not a fig. Rot you sorry son of a bitch. That is for trying to kill me.” He said phasing away.

Fionn clawed at his throat and he was gasping as he turned blue. Gwydion had never raised a blade against him but things were different. His eyes were green as he fell down and as he tried to breathe and could not.
