Kurosaki

 

Byakuya took the tequila from her hand and she realized what she was doing. She sighed as she moved to the window.

 

“Mizuki, if things could be changed then I am sure that I or Karu would change it. I wish someone had been able to save your brother but what happened was not your fault.” He stated softly.

 

“You do not think less of me?” she asked wanly.

 

“Mizuki, you were young and he was brother. How was that your fault?” he asked gently.

 

“I should have known. He had not been right for a long time.” She said looking down.

 

“Stop! You will tear yourself apart. I have done that for more than fifty years since Hisana passed.” He stated tucking her chin under his chin.

 

She felt warm and she felt safe. Mizuki felt hope and prayed she could do a better job then she had with Nori. Her son was a very calm young man who was very adept at dealing with people. They were more like siblings then mother and son. He just held her and she found herself drifting. He lifted her up and brought her to her room. He laid her down and lay across from her. Her brow was unfurrowed and she looked like an angel. He fell asleep as well and was haunted by her memories she had shared.

Ayana was in the Seireitei and she was in absolute despair. She knew Maki would fly into a righteous rage and she could not blame him. His devotion to Kariya and to his former captain was all consuming but the fact that she had slept with Zuraki twice did not make matters better. She had openly lied to him about the circumstances and she was weighed down by guilt. She appeared at Eleventh Division and she saw a very beautiful man. His eyelashes were a gold color and he seemed to have purple feathers above his eyebrows that reminded her of a ga. She burst out laughing and he stared at her. He wanted to be disdainful but there was a very gorgeous onna who had tremendous amounts of power in her aura.

 

“Who are you?” she asked.

 

“Ayasegawa Yumichika; Fifth seat of Eleventh Division. Who are you?” He said appraising her.

 

“Yamasaki Ayana. Where is Kenpachi?” she demanded.

 

“Out and about. My oh my you are almost as beautiful as I am.” He said staring at her.

 

“What? Are you serious?” she asked trying not to laugh.

 

“What?” he asked innocently.

 

She was not fooled and she could plainly see simmering reiatsu in his aura. She felt Zuraki and she stiffened. Yumichika noticed too and he bowed as his captain came into view.

 

“What are you doing here?” Kenpachi growled.

 

“You will speak to me now.” She said as her lip trembled.

 

“Now why would I do that?” he asked.

 

Ayana noticed what appeared to be a young girl on his back and she knew her to be his lieutenant; Kusajishi Yachiru.

 

“Look, I do not have to explain myself or who my lovers are but I have to speak with you on something very important.” She said in a low tone.

 

“Kinda busy.” He bellowed.

 

“Too busy to speak of your babe?” she demanded.

 

Yumichika and Yachiru stared at Ayana in shock. Zuraki stared at her as well and seemed totally dumbfounded.

 

“Hai. I figured that it was a private conversation but before I make any decisions I thought the honorable course would be to let you know. Obviously I was mistaken and I can make my decision in peace.” She said turning to leave.

 

“Yachiru take Yumichika and get some candy or something.” Zuraki ordered.

 

“Hai Keny.” She said jumping.

 

“Come on Yumi.” The little onna said.

 

Ayana waited and Zuraki stared at her. She lifted her chin and met his eye.

 

“Take that ridiculous thing off!” she said ripping it off of him.

 

“You know you are a real bitch!” he snapped.

 

“Well you are an idiot. I am sure a child is the last thing you want and frankly the same for me. I am ending it and telling you I am sorry for having led you on. Other than that I owe you no explanations.” She said bowing.

 

“Don't presume to know what I want. I want a good fight not aggravation!” he hissed.

 

“Understood.” She stated and bowed low.

 

She began walking away and he moved to block her. He hoisted her up and stared at her in the eyes.

 

“You fuck the former lieutenant of this division and you fuck me; how far apart was it?” he snarled.

 

“Get your hands off of me!” she shrieked.

 

“How do you know its mine?” he growled.

 

“Because the reiatsu is different. I swear if you do not put me down then you will regret it!” She snarled.

 

He glowered at her and he suddenly went to his knees and dropped her. He was holding his head and a little bit of blood dripped from his nose. She stumbled back and her eyes had bled to red.

 

“I will not ruin my life for the likes of you and two episodes of good screwing. I have a chance at happiness and I will not ruin it by guilt being associated with you!” She yelled.

 

“Get out of here! I will not fight a pregnant whore!” he growled low.

 

She choked and she moved away. Mizuki had brought her and she was a sobbing mess when she made it back to Sixth Division. She made it to Mizuki who immediately held her younger sister. She sobbed as Mizuki made soft noises.

 

“Ayana? Look at me.” She commanded.

 

“I am pregnant.” She cried.

 

“This is not a good thing?” Mizuki asked sweetly.

 

“No. It is not his and I will not do this!” she said crying.

 

“You want Nanami?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” She said wiping her tears.

 

“Come on then,” her elder sister said.

 

Mizuki called out to Byakuya and he emerged from his office.

 

“I am taking Ayana to the living world. I will be back.” She said to her husband.

 

“Hai. What is wrong?” he asked.

 

“Ask Kenpachi Zaraki!” Ayana hissed.

 

Byakuya looked surprised and Mizuki ported out with Ayana. They were in Nobu's hospital and they went to the surgical floor. They went to their sister's office who was doing dictation and she saw Ayana. She stood up and came over to Ayana.

 

“I want you to get rid of it!” Ayana growled.

 

“Yana?” Nanami asked shocked.

 

“I do not want this. I did not want this and I will not ruin my happiness for it.” She said snarling.

 

“Sister but…” she tried to say.

 

“Nanami, if you cannot do it then have Shinobu do it. Just do it.” Mizuki said calmly.

 

“I am sorry but I will get my father. He may consent but I cannot do it Yana. I am sorry.” She said slipping from her office.

 

“Damnit! Let me go Zuki.” Ayana cried.

 

Mizuki let her go and she produced a shoki cloud. Ayana intended to end her way. She would entice Kariya into a fight. She appeared in the middle of the Bount mansion and she smirked at the leader. Kariya stood up and she was in a sassy mode.

 

“You know your aura was leaking a little. You might want to take care of that. You want a chance at me big boy; bring it on.” Ayana said beckoning him forward.

 

The Bount leader grinned and she pulled Amimono. Kariya came at her with incredible speed and she was thrown backwards with his fist helped by his wind attack. She hit the wall with a sickening thud but she landed in a crouched position. She was growling and her eyes were crimson. She lifted her palm face out and arced her fang. The resulting spread of sound and energy exploded. She saw Maki out of the corner of her eye but she unleashed her full yoki. The various Bounts had to spread and Kariya laughed in sheer joy.

 

“You are unbelievable!” he said grinning.

 

He moved quickly and she whirled around and cut into his chest. Blood seemed to explode from the wound and he shoved his hand through her sternum. She grunted and fell back as blood poured down her shirt. She shoved Amimono into the floor and Kariya realized something big was about to happen. The blade seemed to glow and she willed it apart. The Bount leader hit the floor and he saw the raw yoki surge.

 

“Get out of here!” he yelled aloud.

 

The Bounts scrambled and Ayana did not even try to run. Kariya came back and grabbed her neck. She elbowed him hard and suddenly he directed his hand at her middle and she was thrown against the broken stair case. She grunted again as she was impaled through her belly. She lifted her hands and again released the supaida nami. She had released her venom as well and it covered Kariya and he yelled in pain as his muscles actually tried to shut down. Her vision was swimming but she watched as Kariya disappeared. She began to succumb to the blood loss and she saw black come to stand in front of her.

 

“Ichinose?” she stated in a hoarse whisper.

 

“It's you!” she heard.

 

“Kurosaki?” she managed to ask.

 

“Hey yeah the kumo onna.” Ichigo said.

 

“How did you know?” she said in a trembling voice as he helped her walk forward.

 

She cried out and sank to her knees. She knew Maki was near but she did not want to hear his concern. She hated herself and that was all there was to it. She pressed her hands to her middle and she could scent blood that was not her own mixed with hers. She fell to her side and passed out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ayana woke up and she was in a strange environment. She stared up at a pair of brown eyes and an orange head. He grinned at her and she held her head.

 

“You knocked the crap out Kariya! I mean he was stumbling around like an idiot! Renji and I were amazed.” He said enthusiastically.

 

“Can you please tone down your enthusiasm? I hurt like hell! Where am I?” she asked.

 

“My family's clinic. My dad is a doctor.” He shrugged.

 

She saw a brunette man with warm brown eyes and he came over to her. He nodded to Ichigo who did not move.

 

“Move it Ichigo! I need to talk to her.” Doctor Kurosaki growled.

 

“Yeah yeah.” Ichigo said getting up.

 

She watched the ningen sit by her and she stared at him. He felt her head and produced a vial and syringe and put some medicine into her IV.

 

“Did you know you were pregnant?” he asked.

 

“No.” she lied.

 

“I am sorry but the baby did not make it. I am so sorry.” He said gently.

 

“It is no matter. Thank you doctor. I can leave now and let this bed be filled by someone else.” She said rising.

 

“You were hurt pretty bad even for a youkai.” He said leveling a stare.

 

“My brother and sister are doctors in Tokyo. You seem to know what I am so then you know I can get myself there quickly.” She said in a shaky voice.

 

“Which hospital?” he asked.

 

“Yamasaki.” She replied.

 

“Big money. Well you seem to know what you're doing. If you ever fall again near here then please by all means come by, I am Kurosaki Isshin.” He said bowing.

 

“Thank you doctor. Please tell your son thank you for bringing me here.” She said attempting a bow.

 

She did not wait and she produced a shoki cloud. She appeared back at the ruined mansion and she willed Amimono into her hand. She was grabbed and she gasped in pain.

 

“Ayana? Are you insane? What were you thinking?” Maki said in her ear.

 

“Surprising him. Why not?” she said in a tired voice.

 

“You were not fighting as well as I know you can. You injured him Ayana; you injured him badly. What were you thinking?” he asked softly.

 

“Not thinking. Take me home Maki.” She whispered.

 

“Hai.” He said picking her up.

 

She stared out and his comforting presence brought her peace. She was counting her sins and knew they were mounting. He used her keys and let himself in. He laid her on the couch and felt her head.

 

“Ayana, you are burning up.” He cried.

 

“I need rest and some really good painkillers.” She mumbled.

 

“Where is your medicine?” he asked.

 

“Bathroom in the medicine cabinet.” She muttered.

 

She heard him rummaging around and she heard a knock on the door. She was barely conscious and ignored it. She heard pounding and she lifted her fingers and swung the door open. Mizuki stepped in and she scared.

 

“The Kurosaki kid called the hospital and said you had left his father's clinic. Ayana, what happened? Did you go through with the abortion?” she asked.

 

“Mizuki shut up!” she snarled.

 

“Pardon? You asked for my help sister and you leave suddenly. Half the Seireitei is up in arms.” She said sitting by her younger sister.

 

“Shut the hell up!” Ayana growled.

 

Mizuki looked up and there stood a dark haired shinigami. She recognized him as one of the Bount allies and she stared at Ayana. She realized everything and she looked at Ayana.

 

“Maki this is Mizuki. Zuki this is Ichinose Maki.” Ayana said closing her eyes.

 

“You work with Kariya.” Mizuki said narrowing her eyes.

 

“Hai. I work with Kariya.” He said in a low tone.

 

“What are you doing here?” Mizuki asked.

 

“I saw the attack on Kariya and she had been injured badly. The red headed shinigami showed up and took her.” Maki said in a dark tone.

 

“I see. Well Ayana you are running fever obviously. I am going to have Shinobu come in and look at you.” She said standing.

 

Mizuki slipped from the apartment and Maki entered with pain killers. He went to her kitchen and got her some water. He handed it to her and he looked at the door.

 

“I need to go.” He said in an angry tone.

 

“Maki, I can explain.” She said.

 

“You say that a lot Ayana. You killed our baby? You killed my baby? I beat myself up for what? I actually contemplate giving up my honor to be with you. I cannot look at you.” He said coldly.

 

“Maki, she assumed!” she yelled.

 

“Assumed what?” he hissed.

 

“Nothing! Just leave and go wipe Master Kariya's ass.” She said rolling over and sobbing.

 

“Ayana, what did you do?” he demanded.

 

“Not a fucking thing. Leave me alone.” She said burying your head.

 

“It was not my baby. You did not want it because it was not mine.” He said suddenly.

 

She did not answer and he sat beside her.

 

“The attack on Kariya was done to rid yourself.” He said turning her over.

 

Her eyes were swollen from tears and he sat her up.

 

“I would have wanted you to have the baby Ayana. No! Look at me. I thought we made a commitment to each other. Am I wrong?” he asked.

 

“I do not want another's babe. I gave into my primal nature and I am sorry.” She said as he pulled her into his arms.

 

“No more secrets Ayana! How many times with Zaraki?” he asked.

 

“Twice.” She said ashamed.

 

“Okay. Did you tell him?” Maki asked.

 

“He did not care and I did not want him to.” She said burying her face into his hold.

 

“Kamis! I hate him. Okay this is what we are going to do. You are going to rest and relax to get back your health. I will kill him if he ever touches you again.” Maki said lifting her up a little.

 

“Will you bring me to bed and lay next to me?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” He said picking her up and laying her on her lush bed.

 

Maki undressed and slipped in next to her hot body. She was burning up badly and he was concerned. He heard her snoring softly and he allowed himself to join her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Blades clashed as Yuzuna circled her mother. Her chest was heaving and she still could not beat her. She could come close and almost beat her and her jii-chan but not close enough. Her brother was watching amused as her mother continued to whirl and throw her back.

 

“I give up!” she cried as she was thrown on her ass.

 

“You are excellent daughter!” Asuna praised.

 

“Well between you, Yuudai, and jii-chan…I ought to be.” She said catching her breath.

 

“When is your lover planning on meeting us?” her mother asked bluntly.

 

“Uh haha did you have to say it that way?” Yuzuna asked blushing.

 

“Hai.” Her mother stated.

 

“Who are you in a relationship with?” Yuudai asked coming closer.

 

“No one of import.” She said glaring at her mother.

 

“He is shinigami.” Asuna said again bluntly.

 

“Shinigami? Yuzuna, there are plenty of inu males that beg for your attention.” Yuudai said glaring at her.

 

“Last time I checked you were my big brother and not my sire!” she snapped.

 

“Yuzuna! Get back here!” Yuudai shouted.

 

“Let her go Karuson.” Asuna said amused.

 

“A shinigami? A Kamis damn shinigami? She is your heir! She is royalty!” he cried.

 

“She is her own onna now. Your little girl grew up.” She said smiling.

 

“Since when do you allow your daughters to see whomever?” he asked.

 

“Since I died and came back. Another thing we have in common.” She laughed.

 

He came over and she laid her head on his shoulder. There had been nothing between them romantically for a long time but the devotion had returned and they remained best friends. His hair was on the longer side for a modern style. He kept is tied back and his grey eyes were amused.

 

“You look beautiful chuusin.” He said smiling back at me.

 

“I am still getting my bearings. I feel as though I am in a cloud still.” I sighed.

 

“It gets better I promise. What happened to Kaito?” he asked as they walked in the Western palace.

 

“He has been censured severely and I know I will not be able to see him for a very long time. I was mated to him there in the Netherworld. Do you remember?” she asked.

 

“No. I think I may have but it has blurred. Mizuki had you made over nicely.” He said looking her over.

 

“Hai. I like jeans I have found.” She stated with a grin.

 

“Well they definitely show off your very fine backside.” He laughed.

 

“How is your mate?” she asked softly.

 

“Good. We fight a lot but I try. She does not understand my devotion to your family or to Yuzuna.” He said in a soft growl.

 

Asuna looked up and saw the inu onna who had mated her Yuudai. She had black hair and brilliant blue eyes. Ise was jealous she knew but she did not really care. She kissed Yuudai's forehead and stepped away.

 

“He still dreams of you.” She said under her breath.

 

“Apparently you are not good enough to erase his memory of me.” Asuna retorted.

 

The Western heir and princess did not wait around and she ported away. She went to the apartment building in Tokyo and knocked on her eldest daughter's door. Mizuki answered it and stepped aside to allow her in. She came in and sat down. Mizuki looked at peace and that made her feel much better. She knew there were things that her daughter kept from her and she had never been able to talk to her about it.

 

“You look well.” She said softly.

 

“Thank you haha. I was just about to go into the office.” She said.

 

“I think that I need to find direction again. This life is so new to me.” Asuna said leaning back.

 

“It gets better believe me. The youkai councils meet and such. We own so much land haha and our family influences the Diet.” She stated.

 

“As it should be. You held this family together and I am so proud of you.” Her mother stated smiling.

 

“Thank you.” She said leaning forward and hugging her.

 

Mizuki heard a knock on the door and she opened it up. There stood Saaya and Asuna looked shocked. Saaya slipped in and their mother stood up. Both onna looked emotional and the inu held open her arms and Saaya flew into her arms. They held each other tightly and Mizuki wiped away a couple of tears. She slipped out of the penthouse to give them privacy.

 

“I have missed you so much mama.” Saaya said burying her nose into her mother's neck.

 

“I wanted you Saaya. I always wanted you and never wanted to leave you.” She said holding her tightly.

 

“I know. I know papa kept me from you. He wanted me raised amongst the moth and he was adamant about it. Do you still love him?” she asked softly.

 

“I will always love Kenomaru.” She said softly.

 

“What about Uncle Menomaru?” Saaya asked looking at her mother.

 

“I know he told you Saaya.” She sighed.

 

“Kenomaru is my papa! Uncle Menomaru is a selfish bastard!” she cried angrily.

 

“Who loves you.” Asuna pointed out.

 

“He may love me but he is not my papa. I will never call him that and he can rot in hell! He induced you into rutting because you told him no!” she hissed.

 

“What happened should never have happened but you are here and we all love you very much.” Asuna stated firmly.

 

“Papa still loves you. I know he does but he is so proud.” She said looking down,

 

“Your papa is done with me and has been that way for a long while. I accept that Saaya and you need to as well.” Her mother stated firmly.

 

“Well I do not when I know what fools you both are. I feel horrid that you two quit being together at all because of me!” She snapped.

 

Saaya stepped over to the window and looked out over the city. Asuna came over and put her chin on Saaya's shoulder.

 

“I had been caught between them and I am sorry. I was never careless with your papa and your uncle managed to make me loose all inhibitions. I wronged Kenomaru but when he found out about you he was so happy. I remember him holding you and the look of absolute adoration. Whatever he had felt for me was nothing in comparison to you.” She stated gently.

 

“Mama!” Saaya stated hugging her tightly.

 

They stayed talking for awhile and finally Saaya ported out. Asuna was curious as to where Mizuki was and she went down to Ayana's apartment. She let herself in and she could scent sickness. She went into the room and Mizuki was shaking her sister.

 

“I sent the shinigami to get Shinobu. She is not waking up haha.” She said urgently.

 

Asuna sat and felt her head. She hissed as she was burning up. She looked up when her son and the shinigami came in. Maki looked at her and she growled.

 

“Shinobu, take Ayana to the hospital now. You shinigami will speak with me now!” Asuna barked.

 

Shinobu picked up Ayana and Mizuki ported on ahead. Maki was staring at a legend amongst warriors and she was pacing. She looked at him and she stared hard.

 

“You are in love with Ayana.” She said bluntly.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“What is your name?” she demanded.

 

“Ichinose Maki.” He replied.

 

“Why is my daughter ill?” she asked.

 

“She was pregnant and did not wish to be. She took on Kariya herself and they injured each other badly.” He said looking down.

 

“You did not sire her babe?” Asuna asked in a growl.

 

“No. The beast Kenpachi did. She apparently had a couple of mindless encounters with him.” He said sighing.

 

“Take yourself and hide shinigami. This place is fixing to get nasty. This Kenpachi is a shinigami as well?” she demanded.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“Go!” she commanded.

 

Maki bowed and shunpod away. Hikari was there instantly and she hugged her daughter.

 

“Chichi is in deep for restoring you but I am glad he did.” She said gently.

 

“What is his punishment?” she asked concerned.

 

“Uncle Kaimei is hateful and he has banished chichi to another district. I sneak to see him though. You wish to go to the Seireitei?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Hikari held her hand and they appeared on her home plane. Asuna immediately went up to a shinigami.

 

“Take me to Kenpachi!” she growled furiously.

 

“Okay!” the man said putting up his hands.

She followed the shinigami and she was led to barracks. She suddenly grabbed the weapon of the shinigami and he yelled after her. She walked into the barracks and saw a very gorgeous shinigami. He had chin length hair and feather about his right eye. He stared at a silver haired goddess in his opinion and his throat was dry.

 

“Kenpachi? I will see him now!” she growled.

 

“My captain?” he asked raising his feathered brow.

 

“Hai now!” she snarled.

 

Zaraki heard the ruckus and came from the dojo. He was sweaty and he saw an onna that stole his breath as well. She turned her amber-brown eyes to him and they flashed red.

 

“You Kenpachi?” she demanded.

 

“Hai, who wants to know?” he asked amused.

 

“Do not smirk at me fool. You will die.” She said glowering.

 

“Really? Another warrior onna? Come at me pretty onna.” Zaraki said amused.

 

She grew furious and she dropped the weapon, she extended her hand and a katana slowly appeared. Asuna had bequeathed Kumosaiga to Yuzuna because she had suddenly in the midst generated her own; Konkisaiga. Zaraki's eyes widened and so did Yumichika; the power coming of the onna was tremendous.

 

“Who are you?” Zaraki demanded.

 

“Asuna.” She said simply.

 

She moved suddenly and she whirled and stabbed him through the chest. Zaraki choked and lifted his zanpakuto to defend himself. Her sheer power demanded that he actually release his reiatsu. He saw a whip of green energy and it cut into him several places. They were clashing blades and the onna was ruthless in her attacks. He managed to cut into her and he saw her eyes get brighter red.

 

“Enough!” she hissed.

 

She stepped back and her fang disappeared in a show of yoki and great amounts of power rose up around her. Her features changed and she suddenly appeared in the midst of a small twister of energy. She was growling and snarling. Half the Seireitei showed up and Asuna began stalking Zaraki.

 

“Lady Asuna!” Yamamoto yelled.

 

She turned her head and growled at the Captain General and Byakuya was there. He could not believe the sheer power he felt and knew his wife had the same locked within her. Yamamoto moved forward and put a hand on her massive paw.

 

“Captain Kenpachi. What have you done to cause this great lady's ire?” The Captain General asked.

 

“I have no idea! She came in here ready to fight.” Zaraki said in anger.

 

Asuna suddenly transformed and she moved quickly and punched Zaraki in the jaw and he went flying. She stood over him as he rubbed his jaw.

 

“You son of a whore!” she snarled.

 

“My lady! Please if you will.” Yamamoto stated.

 

“I am not done Teruyoshi!” she yelled.

 

“Please do not kill my captain Asuna. Tell me why you are angry.” He said calmly.

 

Asuna kneeled by Kenpachi and she held his chin in her grip. Her claws dug in and he challenged her with his eyes.

 

“I know you are strong shinigami but I promise you I am stronger. Never come near Ayana again or you will be a dead man.” She hissed.

 

“I had no intentions!” he snapped.

 

“She is my daughter and Lord Ishin's eldest daughter; I will crush you beneath my foot if you cause her more pain.” She said slashing his face with her claws.

 

“Lady Asuna!” Yamamoto called.

 

“Hai?” she said looking up.

 

“Please come with me my lady.” He said firmly.

 

Asuna spit at Zaraki and she stood up. She walked past several shinigami and she looked at Byakuya.

 

“Your wife is with her sister who is gravely ill. I suggest you enter the real world and help her!” she snapped.

 

He nodded and she went to Yamamoto. They fell in step beside each other and she looked over at him.

 

“Why do you have this ridiculous parody of an appearance?” she asked.

 

“So I look wise and such. You know I am ancient.” He laughed.

 

“Hai I know. This Kenpachi got Ayana pregnant and she ended it through battle. She lies in a hospital bed.” She said in anger.

 

“Asuna, your pups are grown and can fend for themselves.” He laughed.

 

“I do not find it funny Teruyoshi! She is my daughter!” She hisses.

 

“You would could kill, murder, and cause all manner of mayhem for your pups. Look, I need Kenpachi in his post as we have other problems besides Bounts. Now go beat him up but do not kill him.” He said flatly.

 

“Show me your true appearance.” She demanded.

 

He sighed and his visage changed. She cocked her head to the side and looked at him.

 

“I never thanked you for all you did. You did so much with so little effort.” She stated.

 

“Ah well. I liked you.” He said smirking.

 

“I mean it my friend; you never asked for anything and I honor my word.” She stated.

 

“I am fine my friend. It has been a long time since I accompanied you to Italy and along time since I founded the Academy.” He smiled.

 

“So there has always been shinigami just not organized like this.” She said in understanding.

 

“Correct. I need to revert now. I have no wish to have my subordinates think I am not scary.” He laughed.

 

She moved to stand in front of him and she lifted his chin. He stared into her eyes and he swallowed back his emotions. Kaito was in love with her and the wraith was a good friend.

 

“Thank you.” She whispered.

 

“I may call upon your fang in the near future. It seems your family is to be tied to the Seireitei.” He managed.

 

“Hai. I owe you for many things Teruyoshi. Is your surname really Yamamoto?” she asked running a finger along his cheek.

 

“Hai. I have several names.” He muttered.

 

“I await your summons.” She said stepping back and bowing.

 

She ported away and he looked away a moment. He took on his elderly appearance that he used most of the time. He had spent time with her in the past and he had been captivated. He sighed and put her from his thoughts. He had much bigger issues to contend with and Aizen was one.

 

Asuna appeared near the melee she had caused and she saw another white haired shinigami. He had a kind face and she was curious if there was any relation between Yamamoto and himself. He turned his brown eyes to her and he smiled a little.

 

“Hello.” He said.

 

“Hello. Who are you?” she asked.

 

“I am Captain Ukitake.” He said bowing.

 

“I am Lady Asuna Orlovich. You are ill.” She stated.

 

“I am afraid I retained my illness from my previous life. You are a very amazing warrior.” He said softly.

 

“Thank you. May I ask a question?” she asked.

`

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“Do you know Teruyoshi?” she asked.

 

“I know not the name.” he said shaking his head.

 

“You look like him.” She said looking him up and down.

 

“I should like to meet this Teruyoshi then.” He said intrigued.

 

“You may already have. Good day Captain Ukitake.” She said bowing.

 

“Please stay. I am curious about you.” He said blushing a little.

 

“Offer me tea then.” She said smirking.

 

“This way.” He said as she walked beside him.

 

They walked back to Thirteenth Division and Hikari suddenly appeared.

 

“Hello Jyuushiro!” She said smirking.

 

“Hikari? How have you been?” Ukitake said grinning.

 

“Hanging around. Jyuushiro this is my haha!” she said grinning wider.

 

“Your mother? Kamis!” he said shocked.

 

“Hai. Gorgeous is she not?” Hikari said hugging her mother.

 

“Hikari!” Asuna growled.

 

“So serious Jyuushiro. Have fun.” She said fading away.

 

“She hangs around the Seireitei often?” she asked the shinigami captain.

 

“She has been known to have relationships with some of the shinigami.” He said blushing.

 

“Does Kaito know?” She asked raising a brow.

 

“I do not know. No, she is just a friend of mine.” He said blushing madly.

 

“I did not question that Captain Ukitake.” She said sitting on a pillow.

 

She watched the shinigami pour the tea and handed her a cup. She sipped the hot liquid and he sat down. She could sense his breathing was a little labored and she set down her tea. She moved closer and listened carefully. She was not touching him but listening to the rattling in his chest.

 

“You are fixing to enter an episode. You probably should rest Ukitake-san.” She said softly.

 

“Thank you. It is nice to know it will happen. How is it you are here?” he asked.

 

“Kenpachi and my daughter, Ayana apparently had a short liaison and she became pregnant.” She stated.

 

“That is unfortunate. He is a reckless man.” He said sipping his tea.

 

“She faced Kariya by herself. I was told she inflicted quite a bit of damage. Let me show you to your room Ukitake-san. You are breathing harder.” She said standing.

 

“I have been battling more than normal. Thank you.” He said taking her hand.

 

She dipped into his mind and she ported them to his estate. He seemed surprised but he moved slowly towards his room. He suddenly began coughing badly and she held him up. He finally stopped and looked at her gratefully. She helped him into his room and he lay down on his bed.

 

“Your haori is bloodied. Let me help you.” She said gently.

 

“I am normally not quite this bad.” He tried laughing.

 

“This disease you have is relentless. I have seen ningen succumb to it too many times. There you are. Do you have sleep hakama?” she asked.

 

“Hai but this is fine.” He stated blushing.

 

“Nonsense Ukitake-san. Where are they?” she asked.

 

“In my beaureu there.” He indicated with a long finger.

 

Asuna stood and went to the drawers and pulled out a pair of sleep pants. She brought them back and helped him out of his black hakama. She kept a neutral face and helped him get into the pants. She tied back his long white hair and he closed his eyes.

 

“I hope to see you again Ukitake-san.” She said softly in his ear.

 

“Jyuushiro please.” He said softly.

 

“Hai Jyuushiro. Please rest and take care of yourself.” She stated gently.

 

“I am sorry that Kenpachi was a horse's rear end. Thank you for your kindness.” He said in a weak voice.

 

She kissed his cheek and stepped back. His eyes opened a little and he smiled softly.

 

“Thank you. Get well Jyuushiro as I shall like to finish that tea.” She said porting out.

 

He stared at the spot she had been in and he was fascinated. He found her beautiful but he never engaged the opposite sex simply because it took so much effort. He sighed and fell into a fevered sleep.

Asuna wandered amongst the ruins of the mansion that the Bount leader had been in. A young man with reddish orange hair was leading her around. He was a cocky and arrogant young man and she liked him instantly.

 

“I saw him leave right as she was thrown across that spindle over there.” He pointed.

 

“How old are you?” she asked.

”Sixteen.” He said lifting his head.

 

“Well Kurosaki Ichigo; you are an amazing young man.” She said lifting her nose to scent the air.

 

“Thanks.” He said running a hand through his hair.

 

“He was bleeding. I am changing form; hop on.” She said as she changed form suddenly.

 

Ichigo covered his mouth in awe and made a loud noise.

 

“Damn! You're a pretty inu.” He said dumbly.

 

She barked and lowered herself. He climbed on her back and she began running.

 

“Hold on! Damn you're fast!” he said hanging onto her fur.

 

She was following the blood but it ended suddenly at the outskirts of the town and a path that led into the wilderness. She lowered her nose and began scenting more. She growled as she scented something and Ichigo jumped down. He was in his shinigami state and he yelled out bankai. His attire and a flourish of power erupted. She changed form and extended her hand. Konkisaiga appeared and she saw the Bount leader. He seemed shocked at their appearance. He suddenly rushed them and nothing was spoken. Asuna moved as swiftly as the Bount and the shinigami. Ichigo and the Bount were going at each other and Kariya was throwing wind attacks that cut like knives.

 

“Tenza Zangetsu!” Ichigo cried.

 

The sheer amount of raw reiatsu was staggering and they kept at each other. Kariya managed to wound Ichigo and she came up behind him. She shoved her fang through him as her yoki was swirling around it. Kariya yelled in tremendous pain and rushed forward. She used her will and threw him but he caught himself. His midsection was bleeding and he disappeared.

 

“Vermin!” she growled.

 

“Man that was awesome!” Ichigo said grinning.

 

“You should not be so quick to battle Kurosaki-kun. You need to see your opponent and his plans.” She stated extending her hand and her fang disappeared.

 

“What was that energy?” he asked.

 

“It is called yoki. It is like your reiatsu.” She explained.

 

“You're a badass with that thing.” He said sheathing his zanpakuto.

 

“You are good as well but you need to refine your technique. You have much ability and power but you need to channel it.” She said raising a brow.

 

“You gonna train me?” he asked sarcastically.

 

“Hai, I will. Come to Tokyo tomorrow then.” She said bowing.

 

“You serious?” he asked shocked.

 

“I do not joke about training Kurosaki-kun. I have lived for nearly five centuries. I shall see you on the morrow.” She said bowing again.

 

She ported out and appeared at the hospital. She saw Ichinose by Ayana's bed and he was holding her hand.

 

“You are choosing to stand by her; I suggest you stand by us all.” She said candidly.

 

“Master Kariya has a vision and I agree with it. The Soul Society has grown careless and callous. They let men like Kenpachi Zaraki lead.” He stated in a low voice.

 

“I agree about the Kenpachi fellow but understand Ayana has had pain. She fills pain with excess and it gets her into trouble. I saw her mate fall trying to save her and myself. The ningen were relentless and she was desperately trying to help her older brother. Yasunari put himself between her and several hundred ningen. She had already been injured and he took several bullets intended for her and me. He was so riddled with the foul weapons that he died almost instantly. They had formed a soul bond and she fell as well. It is difficult to get over and her babe perished not long after.” She explained.

 

“I shall not fight you all but I will not stop fighting the shinigami.” He said meeting her eyes.

 

“Rest assured Kenpachi knows that I am displeased. The Captain General is an old friend of mine.” She said bowing.

 

“Yamamoto?” he asked surprised.

 

“Hai. You should move on soon as I am sure Kuchiki will be here soon.” She stated.

 

“Why are you doing this?” he asked surprised.

 

“Ayana's uncle was my sire's enemy and my greatest and dearest love. Go now.” She stated.

 

He nodded and leaned over and kissed her forehead. He shunpod out and she sat beside Ayana's bed.

Asuna was stripped down to just a sports bra and jog shorts as she was sparring the Kurosaki boy. They were circling each other as they clashed their blades. She was very impressed with the strength of the boy and his general power. She had gotten information on him from Byakuya and the shinigami noble had told her that this boy had reiatsu in abundance and was extremely powerful. Byakuya had rolled his eyes as he had said it. She smiled at him and his chest was heaving as they fought.

 

“Lift your elbow and step back Kurosaki-kun.” She commanded.

 

“Can you quit that? Call me Ichigo, sheesh.” He said doing as she said.

 

“Alright Ichigo. Block!” she yelled.

 

She spun and her fang hit his zanpakuto over and over. He ducked a vicious blow and turned quickly and struck her fang with force. The vibrations rang through the blade and up her arm. She growled softly as pain erupted in her fingers. Asuna jumped over him and landed crouched and brought her fang up and caught his chin. A little blood welled up from the small cut. He stepped back and pointed his weapon and she suddenly snapped her hand to the side and his zanpakuto went flying. He looked outraged and actually jumped her. He was tackling her and she began growling. She was actually having a great time as the boy tried to win. She grabbed his wrists and he growled in fury.

 

“You leave yourself open when you loose your temper. Draw yourself back and channel your anger.” She said in instruction.

 

“Yeah well you used your voodoo powers to make it unfair.” He groused.

 

“All is fair. You use your bankai when you need. I use my yoki the same. Come Ichigo let us get something to drink.” She said as he got off of her.

 

She had a gleam of perspiration all over her and Ichigo turned his head. She was incredibly pretty but he knew she was way off limits. She turned her head as she heard his thoughts. She smiled and was flattered that he found her desirable. She handed him a bottle of water and he threw his head back and chugged it. She took sips of hers and he flopped onto his butt.

 

“We shall run next Ichigo. Do not let your heart rate down. You will be begging for sleep when I am done with you.” She said smirking.

 

“Slave driver!” he groused.

 

She extended her hand and she pulled him up. He grunted and he suddenly took off. She growled again in excitement. She took off in a run behind and she caught up with him. They were jogging through Tokyo in the early evening and he was a competitive and she gloried in it.

 

“Whoever makes it to the tea house last has to pay!” she said grinning.

 

“You're on!” he grinned.

 

They ran normally and without their abilities. They made it almost the same time. Ichigo barely edged her out and she laughed. She leaned down and pulled some yen from her shoe.

 

“Tacky I know. Come Ichigo.” She said as they entered.

 

“Yeah.” He nodded.

 

They ordered tea and she sat down. She could hear his thoughts and she looked away. She suppressed a smile and turned back.

 

“I have other lessons to teach you Ichigo, so drink up.” She said firmly.

 

He downed the tea and grimaced. She downed hers as well and took him to an alley. She ported back to the dojo and decided to put him through more of a work out. She sat down cross legged and closed her eyes.

 

“What the hell? You gonna teach me how to meditate?” he asked in disbelief.

 

“I am going to teach you how to shield your thoughts. I am so glad you think my backside is enticing.” She said smirking.

 

“You telepathic or something?” he asked turning bright red.

 

“Hai. Very telepathic and I have been hearing a steady stream of your thoughts.” She said smiling.

 

“Oh shit.” He said beet red.

 

“Please rest assured I am not offended. If I was four hundreds years younger then I may consider.” She said winking.

 

“Kamis.” He said looking away.

 

“Sit!” she commanded.

 

“What were you like when you were young?” he asked sitting.

 

“Wild. I have a twin brother and my best friend from childhood was a noblemen's son. We were inseparable and caused much damage and mischief.” She said smiling fondly.

 

“Yeah I get as wild as beating up hollows or Bount.” He said in a grumpy tone.

 

“I too was born with amazing amounts of yoki like you have with reiatsu. It took time to fully develop.” She explained.

 

“Look, I am sorry I was thinking those things.” He said crossing his legs.

 

“You are young and male. Do not apologize for that. Now if you had imagined me in a certain position.” She said chuckling.

 

“Oh Kamis. Now I will be totally red faced around you.” He stated sheepishly.

 

“Close your eyes Ichigo.” She stated.

 

He did as she told him and she leaned over to him and whispered in his ear.

 

“You need to see a block. A wall if you will. Visualize the wall and try to think the most suggestive thing you can.” She said softly.

 

She saw him do as she said and she could not hear his thoughts. He was turning red so she figured it was good. She laughed softly and a shudder went down his spine. She sat back and closed her eyes.

 

“My chichi taught me that you have to stay calculated in battle; you can have hatred and rage in you but channel it.” She commanded.

 

“Hai. Yoruichi said the same thing when I was training for bankai.” He muttered.

 

“Interesting. I see her in your mind and she is quite lovely.” Asuna said smiling.

 

“I am shielding right?” he said turning red.

 

“It is slipping. Close your eyes Ichigo.” She demanded.

 

“I am tired!” he groaned.

 

“Concentrate Kurosaki!” she commanded.

 

“Fine!” he groused.

 

They sat there and she began to release her yoki in warm waves. It was meant to calm and lull him into a meditative state. He suddenly pulled his tee shirt off and he was sweating badly.

 

“Ichigo? Are you alright?” she asked.

 

“Hot as hell in here suddenly.” He said wiping his brow.

 

“I will pull back my yoki.” She stated.

 

“Yeah that would be great.” He said sarcastically.

 

“Get your zanpakuto so that I may teach you respect.” She growled.

 

“I'm sorry; you look like you're in your twenties at the most. It's kind of hard to see you as this really old onna.” He said bluntly.

 

“I am not old for a youkai. I was over a century before I had sex.” She said as bluntly.

 

“Man you are something. Okay, I am gonna go home now.” He said standing.

 

“What are you so nervous about?” she asked standing.

 

“You just say whatever; I kinda have school tomorrow anyway.” He shrugged.

 

“You may sleep here and I port you in the morning.” She said raising a brow.

 

“Here in the dojo?” he asked dumbly.

 

“No, I have a residence within this building.” She said laughing.

 

“Sure I guess. You have any food?” he asked.

 

“I am sure the kitchen is stocked. I do not cook so I do not know.” She shrugged.

 

She took his elbow and ported them to her penthouse apartment across the hall from Mizuki's, He looked around and he was suitably impressed.

 

“Your family has more modest accomadations?” she asked.

 

“Hai. You know it's my dad and my twin sisters. My mother died awhile back. My dad is a moron.” He said as he went to her kitchen.

 

He opened the fridge and found foods of all kinds. He hooted and hollered as he began taking things out of the fridge and piling it on the counter. He saw her stretch and head to a bedroom. He kept a rein on his thoughts but he saw her stripping out of the sports bra and shorts. His face turned red as he looked away. She was not modest at all it seemed and he made himself a turkey sandwich with all the trimmings. He turned his back and ate the meal. He wanted a shower and the couch looked nicer then his bed at home. She came out in a robe and he could see the outline of her breasts. He shook his head and looked down.

 

“Have you been with an onna?” she asked suddenly.

 

“Naw. I am a normal teen though.” He said embarrassed.

 

She looked at the food and drifted over to the turkey; she scented it and picked some up. She darted her tongue out to taste it and Ichigo got up and ran to the shower. He turned on cold water and got his run amuck hormones under control. He did this around Rukia as well and he became a mess at times. She slipped into the bathroom and tapped the glass.

 

“I am scenting you Ichigo and it is getting to me.” She said honestly.

 

“What ages were you considered a teenager?” he said through clenched teeth.

 

“Thirties until I was nearly seventy.” She replied.

 

“Damn. Okay can you kinda get out?” he asked.

 

She said nothing and slipped her arm in and turned on the hot water. He groaned and felt so much better.

 

“I can get you some ice to put in your undergarments if need be.” She said giggling.

 

He heard the door slam and he breathed evenly. She was so sure of herself and confident in all manner of things. She had the body of a goddess and he was horny as hell. He put his pants back on and he went to her couch and laid on it. She had laid out a pillow and a blanket that probably cost more yen then he had ever seen. She was in her bed and enjoying the scent of his arousal. It was honest and based off of lust. She fell asleep and was awoken later after listening to muffled moaning. She got up and put her short robe on. She went to the common area and he was asleep but he was moaning as if in the midst of passion. She watched his face and it was stunning. She tried to squash the desire she was feeling as it was absolutely wrong. She watched his hands grip the blanket and she leaned down near his neck. She took in his scent and decided to help him finish his dream. She did not touch him but just sat near him. He suddenly let loose a soulful groan and she saw him writher more in the midst of his unconscious state. She was applying the illusion and telekinesis to his groin. He gasped in his breath as his hips arched suddenly. He woke up and stared over at her. She was not touching him at all and he was moaning as if a whore. His brown eyes were glazed over in lust and she applied more.

 

“What is this?” he managed.

 

“You are dreaming or at least you were.” She murmured.

 

“Kamis! Damn, I need more. More!” he grunted.

 

“Surrender to it Ichigo. Do not fight it. Take this as a lesson. Relax.” She said in a soothing voice.

 

She motioned with her hand and he felt as if he was buried to the hilt; he shamelessly thrust his hips and his face had broken out into a sweat.

 

“Awe FUCK.” He cried out as he arched his body.

 

He jerked hard as his body became spent and he closed his eyes. It had felt so damn good and she had not physically touched him. He looked over at her and her eyes were red.

 

“What's up?” he asked suddenly.

 

“Your scent is delicious. I want to taste you.” She growled.

 

“Huh?” he asked stupidly.

 

She jerked the blanket back and pulled down his sleep pants. She lowered her head and bathed in his scent of climax. She flicked her tongue and Ichigo closed his eyes. She licked him clean and pulled her head back.

 

“I am inu that is why.” She said at his unspoken thought.

 

“You did that to me?” he asked in a shaky tone.

 

“Hai. I should not have but your dream was vivid. I shall see you in the morning.” She said bowing.

 

“Yeah.” He said closing his eyes again.

 

He fell asleep after having had the incredible orgasm. He slept like a log until he was shaken awake. He sat up and he saw the sun.

 

“What time is it?” he asked panicked.

 

“It is seven. What time do your classes start?” she asked.

 

“In like fifteen minutes. Damnit!” he cursed.

 

She took his elbow and saw his home. They ported to his room and he quickly gathered his school clothes. He dressed in his bathroom and jumped out. He put his shoes on and then grabbed his backpack.

 

“Could you take me there?” he asked hopefully.

 

“Hai. I expect you in Tokyo again tonight. You have the strength to match mine. I want you to best me fairly. I will expect you there by six.” She said flatly.

 

“Hai sensei.” He smirked as he bowed.

 

She took his arm and she ported him to his school. He thanked her and ran towards the institution. She smirked and realized he was a lot like her. She would enjoy training him further but would have to refrain from touching him in the future.

 

 

A/n: The next couple of chapters are going to focus heavily on Asuna and her past and present. This story is heavily imbedded in `I am the Moon' but I am trying to make this more stand alone. Please R and R as I love hearing from you all and you know who you are, thank you so much for the questions…I promise some familiar faces very soon.
