Entering Soul Society

 

Karu lead the way to the Yamasaki properties into an area known as Melrose. Asuna could not stand the smell of the city and she ended up vomiting because of the putrid smells. Iyo and Jouichi rubbed her back and she wiped her mouth.

 

“How can you all stand this?” she asked grimacing.

 

“We use salves haha. First time I was here I was green for days.” Jouichi said smiling softly.

 

Jouichi looked like a younger Ishin but bore her crescent moon on his brow. The kumo prince was absolutely spoiled by his siblings and he was especially close to Karu. She hugged her son and daughter tightly as they were worried for their big sister Ayana. Karu came over and nodded for them to go. Asuna could only imagine all the hell her daughter was giving her captors. Asuna was surprised to many auras of supernatural beings as they were called.

 

“Hai they are as many here as there is in Japan.” Karu nodded.

 

“I see. Where is Danning from?” she asked.

 

“The state of Colorado.” Karu murmured.

 

“He would not bring Ayana here Karu. He would go where he could hide her well and where the land is rugged. If I am remembering the maps correctly there is a mountain range running through that state.” Asuna said thinking.

 

“Hai. They are the biggest mountain range in the United States.” Jouichi said.

 

“Then that is where we shall go. Where exactly is this feline from?” she demanded.

 

“I believe his bio said Cortez, Colorado haha.” Iyo remarked.

 

“Get us a map now.” She said.

 

“I feel bad for this bastard.” Karu said softly.

 

“Why?” Jouichi asked.

 

“To face your mother? I'd rather kill myself then face her.” Karu said shivering.

 

“Thank you Karu.” Asuna said making a face.

 

“When you are mad enough you can make your enemies piss themselves. Sorry but that is the truth.” He shrugged.

 

“Would you say that to your mother?” she asked.

 

“No but then Mother has actually become quite the snob.” He smirked.

 

“There it is. Pull up on the computer a satellite picture so we do not port into a living room.” Asuna commanded.

 

“What do you think is going on in Soul Society?” Iyo asked as she did as commanded.

 

“I imagine Kariya and his Bounts are trying to find a way into the Seireitei.” Asuna said pacing.

 

She was worried about Ichinose and Ichigo as well. She growled and Iyo looked up.

 

“Haha, we can find Ayana. Go back to Soul Society and help. We all can channel each other and you know that.” She said.

 

“Where is Rishou?” she asked.

 

“Probably in a bed somewhere in Tokyo.” Iyo said in annoyance.

 

Rishou had turned out to be one of her most beautiful pups ever and he knew it. She grew irritated with her youngest son and sighed. She ported to Tokyo and pulled on his aura. Naraku's youngest son had always given the issue and he was too much like his sire in her opinion. Mizuki and Rishou also were too much alike and it had driven Naraku to distraction. She appeared outside of his apartment and knocked on the door loudly. She heard cussing and she suppressed the urge to beat the boy. He yanked the door open and he stared at his mother. He looked sheepish as she raised a brow. This son was very much like her as well.

 

“Hai mother?” he asked scratching his head.

 

“The rest of your siblings are off doing something and you are here doing what?” she asked.

 

“No one let me know!” he snapped.

 

“Do not dare disrespect me!” she snapped back.

 

He sighed and pulled a white shirt over his rather stunning form. His wavy black hair fell around his shoulders and his mahogany eyes were downcast. His mother was one of the few people who could make him feel about two years old. His sire and he came to blows over and over. Mizuki had to save his life he was convinced because he had driven his poor father nuts. He looked up and his inu mother stared at him.

 

“What?” he demanded.

 

“Get you weapon and we shall go to Soul Society.” She commanded.

 

“I don't want to go to Soul Society! I could care less what is going on. I have several dates and they are models!” he said in a whining tone.

 

She slapped him hard and he staggered a little. Her eyes were red and he sighed. He would have to go to shut her up and so she would leave him alone. She slapped him again and he hissed.

 

“I am not a pup anymore! Why do you not get knocked up so you have someone to order about and not your grown children!” he whined more.

 

“You have not changed one bit! Get your ass dressed before I beat it soundly!” she snarled.

 

“You do not treat the others this way! Why do I get this treatment?” he asked.

 

“Well let me see; you act like a spoiled brat. Get your things now!” she ordered again.

 

He was furious and went to his room and pulled on jeans. He put on geta and grabbed his katana. He looked at his beautiful mother and was actually thrilled she was alive. He had been to see her several times and when she had come out of surgery, he had held her hand and cried softly. He loved her dearly just like he loved his father; he could just not stand being one of the babies.

 

“I am sorry of your birth order Rishou but know we love you very much.” She commented on his thoughts.

 

“I know haha. You two are just so damn overprotective and controlling. If chichi couldn't tear our hides up then you had Papa Ishin or Nobu do it!” he snapped.

 

“Sorry.” She said flippantly.

 

He sighed and she took his hand. She ported to Karakura Town and went to the store of the former shinigami name Urahara Kisuke. The blond male was wearing a hat and clogs and generally unkempt. Rishou looked at him disdainfully and she hit his shoulder.

 

“What?” he asked his mother.

 

“Do not be rude!” she hissed.

 

“Well if it isn't Lady Asuna. I haven't formally met you. I am Urahara.” He said bowing.

 

“I know who you are from Ichigo and Yoruichi.” She stated.

 

“How is Ichigo?” he asked.

 

“I would not know he is in Soul Society now. Can you get us to Soul Society?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” He said smirking.

 

“Mother! You know all you had to do was call upon me!” Hikari said from behind them.

 

Rishou turned and saw his wraith sister. She moved forward and hugged her little brother. Hikari stared at the blind shinigami and he was staring back at her.

 

“Kisuke, it has been a long time.” She said softly.

 

“You are her daughter?” he asked shocked.

 

“You never asked who my mother was Kisuke.” She said taking her mother and brother to Soul Society.

 

Asuna watched Hikari and she blushed. Rishou saw it as well and Hikari looked up.

 

“I suggest you two go find Ichinose. He is fighting several shinigami.” She said fading away.

 

“Damn!” she cursed.

 

“What is going on?” Rishou asked.

 

“Ayana mated a rogue shinigami named Ichinose. He is working with the Bounts and she was taken by American youkai.” She explained.

 

Asuna recognized Zaraki's reiatsu and she began running with tremendous speed. She saw it happen before it could be stopped. Ayana would have felt it and she ran in between Ichinose's prone form and Kenpachi. Konkisaiga appeared in her hand and she blocked the shinigami.

 

“You will kill her! I know you may dislike him but you will kill my daughter!” Asuna said fiercely.

 

“You lie!” Zaraki hissed.

 

“No shinigami, I do not lie! Ayana and Ichinose are bound through spirit. You will kill her if you kill him!” she said staring at him.

 

“Well it looks as though you are too late anyway.” Zaraki said dispassionately.

 

“How can you be so callous?” she asked.

 

“She is strumpet and that poor bastard should have figured it out.” He said sauntering away.

 

She recognized jealousy and ran to Maki. The man was almost dead and she knew Ayana would be screaming. She picked up him up and Hikari thankfully appeared. She ported them to Nobu's hospital in Tokyo. Her kumo mate was there with a crash cart and other things. It was in the Kamis hands and Hikari took her back. She sighed and Rishou was scenting the area.

 

“Those Bount things have been around. They are inside the city itself mother.” He said.

 

“Son of a bitch!” she cried.

 

She ported them inside the Seireitei and she looked around. It was unusually quiet and she began running. She heard mumbling and she saw the Twelfth Squad captain and she had heard him say that it was him that let the Bounts in. She flew at him and began hitting and snarling.

 

“You stupid bastard!” she said slashing at him.

 

He tried to fight back but she was insane with anger. Rishou watched his mother roll with the ghastly shinigami into a pond and he sighed. She would probably tear the bastard apart and he went on his way. Asuna looked down and the beast's face paint was coming off. She used his captain's coat to wipe away the black and white mess to reveal a rather stunning face. She stared at him hatefully and she stood up.

 

“You are disgusting!” she said in fury.

 

“You bitch!” he yelled.

 

“You cover your face to look like a freak? You are disturbed and sick!” she screamed.

 

“This is only for me to see! Arrogant whore!” he seethed.

 

“You let the Bount in you fool!” she snarled.

 

“To take back and study them!” he said in a near gleeful tone.

 

She grabbed him and ported to Teruyoshi. He was in his old man guise and she threw Mayuri at his feet.

 

“He let the Bount in! I have to find the others.” She said hurrying.

 

Her mind was in a tumult as she began searching for Ichigo and his friends.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rishou was trying to find someone he knew in this blasted place and he backed up into someone.

 

“Kamis damn it!” he snapped turning around.

 

His face held shock at seeing a red haired goddess. Rishou about stumbled backwards and continued to stare with his mouth agape.

 

“Well hello there. You are one of the youkai.” She said smirking.

 

“Hai. You are a shinigami?” he asked dumbly.

 

“Hai. I am a lieutenant actually. Are you trying to find your family?” she asked.

 

“Hai. My mother took off and I have no idea what the hell I am supposed to be doing.” He groused.

 

“Well I am sure we can find out. Give my your hand.” She commanded.

 

“Hai.” He said taking her hand.

 

She proceeded to shunpo and he about vomited. They appeared in a melee it seemed and he saw Saaya, Mizuki, and Yuzuna together.

 

“Sisters! Thank the Kamis!” he cried.

 

“Rishou?” Mizuki asked surprised.

 

“Hai. Mother came and made me come here.” He said looking around.

 

“Big brother.” Saaya said softly.

 

“Hi Saaya.” He said smiling softly.

 

He was the youngest son at only two hundred and they all let him know it. He felt sorry for Saaya and Nanami being the two youngest. He kept staring at the gorgeous redhead and he would have loved to speak more to her without sounding like an idiot. He lifted his nose and stared at Saaya. She blushed as she knew he could tell.

 

“Hush! I let my masking slip a moment.” She said softly.

 

“Your father is going to loose it.” He mumbled.

 

“Mama already told him I was getting married. He will not speak to me.” She stated.

 

“Damn! What have you been up to?” he asked surprised.

 

“She is going to be Hitsugaya Saaya.” The goddess stated.

 

Saaya blushed deeply and she saw Toushirou come out of Yamamoto's office. He looked over at her and his lieutenant. He came forward and bowed to them all.

 

“Captain Hitsugaya, this is my older brother Rishou. He is Mizuki's full brother.” She said softly.

 

“Hello.” Toushirou said bowing again.

 

“Nice to meet you.” Rishou said a little stunned.

 

The white haired shinigami spoke with Saaya softly and he held her hands in his. She looked worried and suddenly pulled him into a deep kiss. The goddess snorted softly and Toushirou pulled back blushing.

 

“Take care Toushirou. I wish you would let me fight.” She said looking down.

 

“No! Not right now; I know you are an awesome with a blade but I have to know you and our baby are okay.” He said matter of factly.

 

“Okay.” She said looking distressed.

 

“Ran, come on!” Toushirou commanded.

 

“Bye pretty boy!” Rangiku said smirking.

 

Rishou watched the one called Ran walked away with his sister's fiancé. Saaya took his arm and led him away.

 

“Brother, where have you been?” she asked.

 

“Tokyo and seeing my girlfriend Seina.” He said staring after Matsumoto.

 

“If you are seeing someone then you should not be staring after Rangiku!” she snapped.

 

“I am not married or mated.” He said unconsciously licking his lips.

 

“Kamis Rishou! You can be such a male whore!” Saaya said in disgust.

 

“Oh hush! I think she is pretty is all. You act like I have bent her over and ravished her!” he said in irritation.

 

She shook her head and wondered after her brother. She saw Yuzuna standing near Captain Ukitake. Yuzuna was straightening his haori and he was blushing.

 

“I wish you would not fight.” She said softly.

 

“You are going to be beside me.” He said brushing her hair back.

 

“I know but I worry is all.” She said reaching up holding his face.

 

“Yuzuna you have been taking very good care of me. I feel better then I have in a long while.” He said holding her face.

 

She did not care of an audience and she kissed him. He was surprised as they wrapped their arms around each other. She stepped back and let him go. She heard explosions and she began running. Half the shinigami watched as Ichigo and Asuna were fighting back to back.

 

Asuna jumped over Ichigo and began slashing and tearing at the doll Dalk. The metal being suddenly thrust a limb straight through her and she coughed up blood.

 

“Sensei!” Ichigo yelled.

 

“My is that all you have youkai?” the doll taunted.

 

“Not even close!” Asuna growled.

 

She put her hands on the limb that impaled her and she surged huge amounts through the metal limb. The beast screamed and pulled back suddenly. Asuna was on her knees and fell face forward. Ichigo ran to her side and held her up.

 

“Sensei! Wake up!” he said trying to wake her up.

 

Mizuki ran to her mother and she began growling terribly. Yuzuna jumped over her sister and changed form into her inu self. She picked her mother carefully within her jaws and she took off towards Fourth Squad headquarters. Mizuki began running after the auras of the Bounts.

 

“Mizuki!” Saaya yelled.

 

Saaya took upon herself to go after her sister and spread her wings and took flight. Rishou's face held horror at seeing his mother fall and followed his sisters. Mizuki began fighting the green haired Bount female and she was slicing and slashing with deadly accuracy. She saw Byakuya holding his sister Rukia and he nodded to her. Her sister Emi was the Kuchiki estate watching over Yuji at the moment but the Sixth Squad captain and his wife did not like leaving their infant son. Jougosaiga was fully open and it crackled with tremendous power. Byakuya watched as a black aura enveloped the blade.

 

“Get Rukia out of here!” She yelled.

 

“Hai!” he replied.

 

Byakuya shunpoed away and Rishou arrived and pulled his own fang. He smiled at his big sister and she took his hand. The raw energy blew up around them and one son and daughter of Naraku unleashed their combined yoki. Mizuki jerked away and moved with incredible speed. Byakuya stood on a wall and watched as his wife decimated the Bount female in smooth movement and tremendous power. He could not be sure but he was positive that her form wavered. He heard a pained scream and he shunpoed next to his brother in law. Rishou watched in awe and horror.

 

“What is she doing?” Byakuya asked curiously.

 

“She is absorbing the Bount. Our sire can do the same.” He said back stepping.

 

“What do you mean absorb?” he asked shocked.

 

“I mean that she is taking in the Bount within her yoki. Nothing will be left. Chichi would be in awe.” He said looking away.

 

Mizuki stepped back and there was nothing of the Bount female known as Yoshi. Her aura was flaring and swirling miasma. Her eyes were crimson and she walked past her baby brother and husband.

 

“Rishou! Go see to haha!” she commanded.

 

“Hai!” he said bowing.

 

“Mizuki?” Byakuya asked.

 

“Catch me.” She said passing out.

 

He caught her in his arms and her energies were wild and out of control. She had taxed her yoki and overloaded herself. He picked her bridal style and shunpoed to his estate. He moved quickly and laid her on their bed. Emi came in with his son. He looked down at his baby and smiled softly.

 

“I felt the surge in yoki. She will be out for at least a day. She does not employ that technique often.” Emi explained.

 

“What did she do exactly?” he asked.

 

“She extracted energy and in the process crushed the Bount within that same power. Mizuki channels yoki like our mother and can absorb like our father. It is what makes her the strongest of us all. She channels the absorbed energy into a deadly result. Our father is a culmination many different youkai and one ningen.” She said.

 

“Yet you are a hanyou?” he asked.

 

“I was conceived when my mother was trying to save my father. She met up with him in the past as his ningen self.” She explained.

 

“The past?” he asked utterly shocked.

 

“Hai. Mother has been amongst all eras. It is in the past she met your Captain General Yamamoto. It was during the Yayoi period I believe. He aided her in getting to the continent and Italy.” She said as if he should already know this.

 

Byakuya was shocked and stared down at his wife.

 

“Mother projected to the past during the fifteenth century right before her birth and that is how she met my sire. She was originally in spirit form.” She said walking Yuji.

 

“Your family has ungodly amounts of power.” He said in shock.

 

“Imagine little Yuji's potential; you one of the most powerful shinigami and my sister.” She shrugged.

 

He nodded and he assured himself of her safety and he held his son for a moment. He spoke softly and his beautiful boy looked at him wide eyed. He gurgled and he held him close for another moment.

 

“Make sure your haha is well my son. I shall return in a bit.” He said laying him next to Mizuki.

 

“I will make sure they are okay.” Emi said softly.

 

“Thank you my sister.” He said bowing.

 

She nodded and he shunpoed away. Emi looked at her big sister and brushed ebony locks away from her face. Emi was very similar to her sister and it was a secret they shared. They knew they were their sire's favorites but they tried to deflect that away as Rishou, Kenji, and Hibari felt it some. They were most like their father in power which was strange because Emi had technically been sired by Onigumo alone. She decided not to think on it and picked up Yuji and sang to him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ichigo was in a panic. Rukia and Asuna both had fallen and he made his way to Fourth Squad headquarters. He saw Rukia sitting up and he moved to her and hugged her tightly till she grunted.

 

“You're okay!” he said in relief.

 

“I am fine! Nii-sama came just in time.” She said softly.

 

“I am glad Rukia!” he said ruffling her hair.

 

“Lady Asuna is over there. They are patching her up but she lost a lot of blood.” She said looking over at the silver haired onna.

 

Ichigo stood and went to sit by the pallet that Asuna laid on. Yuzuna was pacing and she saw the young shinigami sit by her mother.

 

“You fought very well Kurosaki. I recognize some of your moves as the ones taught to me.” She said.

 

“Thanks. She is a helluva great fighter.” He said looking down at her.

 

“That she is. Will you stay with her for a few minutes? I intend to find out what is going on.” She said as she walked away.

 

“Sure.” He said as he looked at the onna he felt tremendously for.

 

She woke a little and rolled her head to the side.

 

“Ichigo.” She murmured.

 

“That was crazy Sensei.” He said gently.

 

“I did what had to be done. I think to defeat Kariya it will take all your power.” She said lifting her hand.

 

He held her hand and he was feeling violent emotions. She looked over at him and smiled softly.

 

“I will be by your side when you face him. When we were at Fuji; who was that shinigami?” she asked.

 

“Aizen's flunkey. When Rukia was sentenced to death me and my friends came into Soul Society to save her. It was a plot by the then Captain Aizen of the Fifth Squad. Long story short; he is now in a place called Hueco Mundo.” He stated lifting her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

 

“That is the real threat. I imagine he is sitting back watching the whole thing and is quite amused. You will have to win this but I will be there to back you up.” She stated in quiet tone.

 

“Sensei.” He said as his brown eyes simmered.

 

“Ichigo, go and help your fellow shinigami now.” She said trying to close her eyes.

 

“I…” he started to say.

 

“I know. You do not have to say it. You are allowing me to feel it. I am wretched Ichigo.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Why?” he asked confused.

 

“Because I will take too much and you are too young for that. Go.” She commanded.

 

He stood up slowly and looked down at her. She opened her eyes for a moment and gave him a brilliant smile. He nodded and he stepped away. Rukia had watched the scene and she was confused. Ichigo still looked at her that way and she wondered when the inu onna had managed to capture his heart. She felt suddenly sick and had to look away. Lady Asuna was trying to put him off but she knew Ichigo. She got up suddenly and ran from the room. She followed after Ichigo and he sensed her.

 

“Rukia? Idiot! Go lay back down.” He said fiercely.

 

“Ichigo, careful please. You are strong but…” she started to say.

 

“What you don't think I can handle Kariya?” he demanded.

 

“I did not say that! Just be okay, alright?” she snapped.

 

“Sure thing numbskull.” He said winking at her.

 

“Ichigo, one more thing!” she said lifting her chin.

 

He drifted closer and Rukia pulled him down and kissed him fully on the mouth. His eyes flew open then closed. He crushed her to him and possessed her a moment. He finally pulled back and stared at her dumbly.

 

“Hey go lay back down and let me protect this place okay?” he said distracted.

 

“Hai.” She said backing up.

 

Ichigo left and his heart was beating out of chest. How many times had he thought about Rukia kissing him? How many times had he imagined holding her to him? He turned back around and grabbed her up. She squeaked and he slammed her against the wall.

 

“Why now?” he demanded.

 

“What do you mean?” she asked.

 

“If you're gonna kiss me Rukia then let me do it right.” He said hoarsely.

 

He leaned forward and caught her lips. His teased and demanded as he thrust his tongue into her mouth. Ichigo was loosing it as their connection became wild. She clutched his haori in her hands and suddenly he ground his groin against her.

 

“Ichigo!” she rasped.

 

“Bout fucking time Rukia!” he hissed in her ear.

 

“I but I did not think.” She stammered.

 

“Yeah well quit thinking.” He said letting her slide down the wall.

 

He left but he stiffened when he felt Asuna's aura in the doorway. He turned and she nodded to him. She tried to drift back into the sick room and he took her arm.

 

“Let us walk a moment Kurosaki-san.” She said formally for Rukia's benefit.

 

She looked over at the younger onna and smiled softly.

 

“I heard you fought bravely; you make your brother proud.” She said in a low voice.

 

“Thank you my lady!” she said bowing.

 

Rukia drifted away and Ichigo looked sheepish. Asuna met his eyes and smiled softly.

 

“You should pursue her now. You know she feels the same way and you two are a good match. I know you will defeat Kariya.” She said pulling away.

 

“I can make up my own mind okay with you?” he asked in anger.

 

“She obviously cares for you and there is no confliction on her part. Now clear your mind as you have a major battle to fight.” She said trying to pull away.

 

Ichigo pulled her into an empty supply closet and he gripped her shoulders almost painfully.

 

“You're right and I have feelings for her okay? I mean I went through hell for her and I'd do it again but I feel so utterly normal around you.” He said in a confused tone.

 

“Ichigo, I knew what this was; it is lust mixed with genuine admiration. That onna loves you and you obviously love her. Do not be a fool and waste an opportunity for happiness.” She said in a soft tone.

 

“Lust?” he asked in fury.

 

“Hai. I keep telling you that sooner rather then later, you will come to resent me. Would it surpise you that I have loved a ningen before? It ended very badly and I have not seen him in centuries. He wanted what I could not give and I wanted more then I should.” She said looking away.

 

“How can he still be alive?” he asked surprised.

 

“He was dying and it infuriated me. He was a good soul and he was being used by his people to be turned into a living Buddha. I took him from his town and I mated him to give him my lifespan. Our last words were terrible. Now stay with Rukia and forget about what has happened.” She said reaching up and cupping a cheek.

 

“You gonna tell me who he was?” he asked.

 

“No. It is another thing that would shock you to your core. I need to lie down Ichigo.” She said in a low whisper.

 

“So what would happen if you saw him?” he demanded.

 

“Profound regret would rip through me and I would pray that he could forgive me. He never knew I lied to him over something. He assumed and I let him think it so he would hate me.” She said in a strained voice.

 

“You loved him!” he accused.

 

“I did. My love is no good Ichigo. Now release me.” She commanded.

 

He looked angry and he lifted her chin. He was about at the point of hating himself but he held her cheeks in his palms. She did not look like she was five centuries. She looked barely older then him; He stared at her full lips and her silver hair.

 

“Sensei, I know I am confused by a few things but I'm sure of what I want. I want to kill this bastard and I want to go back to learning. I also want you on your bed and actually begging me. I want you to need me as much as I need you.” He said softly.

 

“Stop Ichigo!” she cried.

 

“No! Listen to me!” he almost yelled.

 

“This is wrong on too many levels! You enjoy the sex. You are exploring and learning and there is nothing wrong with that but be realistic!” she growled.

 

“Take us to the Kuchiki estate!” he growled in her ear.

 

“Ichigo no!” she snapped.

 

“Sensei!” he growled.

 

“No Ichigo!” she hissed.

 

His grip became painful and she knew he would leave bruises. She ported them to the estate and in the room provided for her. She raised a barrier and he stared down at her. He undid the yukata and slipped it from her shoulders. She stared at him defiantly and he undid his own shinigami outfit. She kept her eyes on his handsome face and she felt his fingertips brush along her skin gently. Her face twitched as she tried to not respond. He pulled her to him and kneaded her buttocks. Her breathing became harder as he took control. He lifted her up and laid her back on the mattress. He boldly opened her thighs and she lifted her head. She felt fingertips brush her curls and a jolt skated down her spine. He leaned his head down and nipped along the sensitive flesh of her inner thighs. Asuna was fighting the slow creep of desire but failed miserably. His fingertips gently ran over the sensitive flesh and she groaned out. He ran those fingertips along her opening and coated them in her wetness. He slipped in his fingers and she quit breathing for a moment. He was leeching his reiatsu and she almost lost it that second. A quivering began in her belly and one pad of one finger began deeply massaging her g-spot. He lowered his mouth to her clit and swiped it with his tongue several times before he gently nibbled it. She began gasping as he released more reiatsu and she arched her lower body.

 

“Ichigo!” she growled out.

 

He suckled her clit harder and she let loose a long moan as her walls began to throb and contract in a massive release. He groaned as he felt her climax for him. He still wanted her begging and he kept up his assault. She was gasping as he geared her up quickly for another release. Her legs shook hard as she began tightening in her belly again.

 

“Please! Ichigo, please!” she began begging.

 

He suckled her harder and she almost screamed out. She took his wrist and bit in viciously to suppress her scream. He grunted as heat rushed through him. He let her ride out the orgasm and he slid up her body.

 

“Tell me sensei. Say it!” he demanded.

 

“Take me.” She begged.

 

Instead of slamming into her; he slowly eased into her tight heat. Her body arched and he had to groan as he slowly pulled back and plunged in. He kept it slow and began alternating between short, shallow thrust to long and languid ones. Asuna was on sensory overload already and her next orgasm would be dangerous. She could not speak and only moaned as the young shinigami consumed her being. He flooded her completely in his reiatsu and she could not breathe. She was engulfed totally and responded with melding their energies to handle it. Ichigo was loosing his mind and he concentrated totally like he did when he was battling. She was rasping loudly as they began moving harder. She was crying out and growling at the same time and he was so incredibly entranced as she arched and moaned for him. Her eyes opened and they were burning scarlet and she pulled him down into a passionate lip lock. She began whimpering loudly as their tongues and lips moved like their bodies. She ripped her lips from his and she was rasping loudly.

 

“Ichigo! Pull back, please pull back.” She said mindlessly.

 

“Huh? What?” he asked in his haze.

 

She began crying out and he felt her tighten on him and he grunted as she dragged her claws down his back. Her yoki flooded him and she lifted her head. She was murmuring something and he groaned out as he thrust a few more times and cried out as she milked him. He managed to see her gnashing her teeth and she snapped her fangs hard and it occurred to him dully that she was fighting her instincts. He fell against her and felt complete. She was crying and he pushed himself up.

 

“What's wrong?” he asked confused.

 

“Ichigo.” She whimpered.

 

“Asuna?” he asked concerned.

 

She buried her nose in his juncture and he felt her teeth and tongue. He groaned softly as she was groaning too.

 

“What is wrong?” he whispered.

 

“Have to stop. We want you so badly.” She whimpered.

 

“We?” he asked confused.

 

“Hai.” She said kissing him deeply.

 

She was fighting the urge to mark him and failing. She surged up and settled in his lap. His eyes widened as she began grinding against him hard. Her eyes were fully crimson and he got the impression that her animal nature was fully in control. Pleasure overwhelmed him and she was going to make him come again. He groaned hard as their bodies and energies washed over them.

 

“Ichigo! She rasped.

 

“Huh?” he asked in a haze.

 

“We have to have you. We have to take you.” She growled loudly.

 

“What?” he asked trying to concentrate.

 

He felt her fangs at his throat and he was suddenly taken in the most rapturous wash of pleasure. He distantly felt himself have the most incredible release and he honestly thought he was going to stay in Soul Society as the rush was that intense. Asuna leaned back a little and dug her claws across her throat. She did not have to make her lover press his lips to the wound. She felt his tongue and teeth on the wound and she lost it. Ichigo bit into her skin as they again experienced another rush. They fell back and she was sweaty as he was. Regret washed through her as she watched him sleep. She had tried to beg him off but he was her in ningen form. He was stubborn and proud like her. He was also intensely loyal and loving to those he deemed his responsibility. She laid on the softness of the bed and she could not sleep even though she was exhausted. He was not stupid and he knew what had happened. She would not accept his love of Rukia and she knew they would have horrendous fights. She extracted herself from his limbs and she needed a bath. She ported into the bathroom and turned on the faucets. She bathed slowly and their combined scents were intoxicating to her. She pressed her forehead to her knees and she sensed him in the room with her.

 

“You okay?” he asked softly.

 

“Hai. Are you okay?” she asked him.

 

“Yeah. I need one of those too.” He said grinning.

 

“Get in.” she said scooting up.

 

He undid the yukata and slipped in behind her. He massaged her shoulders and she groaned.

 

“Ichigo, I have ruined your life.” She said in a sad tone.

 

“How?” he asked.

 

“I marked you. I had you take in my blood.” She stated.

 

“Okay.” He said as his hands roamed over her wet skin.

 

“Ichigo, you have no idea what has happened! You are mine! Do you understand? I will not tolerate another in life!” she said bluntly.

 

“Can we talk about it later?” he asked.

 

“Hai.” She sighed.

 

They bathed and she ported them back to the room. She dressed in jeans and a muted floral kimono shirt. She suppressed her riotous emotions. She was emotional charged and she took his hands in hers and laid her head against his back.

 

“I am feeling you!” he said suddenly.

 

“Hai. Ichigo our energies mixed unlike before.” She said softly.

 

“Can we talk about it later? I should have been back with the others a long time ago.” He said kissing her hands.

 

“Ichigo please!” she said forcefully.

 

“Sensei, I love you. I know you think me too young but I know that okay? I have to go.” He said kissing her forehead.

 

He pulled his haori in place and tied the stays. He shunpoed away and she stared after him. Her heart was heavy and she could not tell him everything. She ported to the fronts and watched.

Ayana could not breathe as she felt a crushing weight on her chest. Maki was dying and she could not feel him. She was going insane and she fought the bindings. She released every bit of yoki she possessed and she broke the magic ropes. She snarled and changed form. She rushed forward in her kumo form and grabbed up the surprised eagle and puma youkai; she crushed them in her jaws and injected her deadly venom into others. She transformed and saw Danning. He looked at her with hatred and she extended her hand and her fan blade appeared.

 

“So you broke through. You will sell or you will die.” He said lifting a gun.

 

“Bastard!” she screamed.

 

“A realist Miss Yamasaki. The powers of your family are legendary and frankly my kind has no such weapons. Now back up and your pretty butt will not die.” He said coldly.

 

“Let me go!” she snarled.

 

“I think not. I was told to use you as a distraction but no one really cares do they?” he asked in a cruel tone.

 

“Sorry Danning. We do care.” Karu said sliding down from the ceiling on his silk.

 

“You!” he growled.

 

“And us too.” Iyo said smirking.

 

Jouichi saw his big sister and she was bawling. Iyo kicked the gun out of Danning's hand and she took him on through hand to hand. She was deadly in bijutsu and karate and she was kicking and landing devastating punches. Karu and Jouichi went to their sister and ported via their shoki. Iyo followed closely behind and Ayana was dry heaving. She ported herself to the hospital and saw Nobu doing CPR on Maki. She was loosing her mind and stepped back into a wall. She saw the monitors read flat line and she began screaming in agony. Nanami ran out and pulled her to her. Her baby sister knew the pain and tried to hold her up.

 

“Maki! No! No! No!” she screamed over and over.

 

Nobu came out and tears stung his eyes. He moved silently and called his best friend. Shinobu moved forward and she looked up. Her brown eyes were glazed over and she saw they were going to sedate her.

 

“No! Who killed him? Who killed him?” she screamed.

 

“Kariya is ultimately responsible.” Nanami said softly.

 

“Hikari! Sister please!” Ayana screamed out.

 

Her sister appeared and moved to her. She immediately ported them within the Seireitei and she immediately ported back. She looked down at the dead shinigami and her heart bled for her sister. She sighed and knew she would have to face Kaimei and the others. She reached up and yanked on his soul chain. She pulled it back and pushed with all her wraith power. Maki's eyes flew open and he gasped in air.

 

“Do not be so foolish again.” She said as she disappeared.

 

Nanami had seen the whole thing and she ran in. She began checking his vitals and she was amazed. He was gasping Ayana's name and he looked over at her.

 

“Where is she?” he asked.

 

“Soul Society.” She said injecting medicine into the IV.

 

“I have to stop her. She is pregnant with my baby. I cannot let her be harmed.” He groaned.

 

“Ayana is not in her right mind shinigami. She will kill and rip apart right now.” She said making sure he was in no pain.

 

She pushed five of morphine and he sat back in a drugged haze.

 

“I am sorry shinigami but one of us sisters deserves happiness.” She said as she pushed more medicine to make him sleep.

 

He fell unconscious and Nobu walked in with Ishin. They stood there shocked to see the monitors read a heart beat.

 

“Where is Ayana?” Ishin asked stunned.

 

“Soul Society. Hikari broke the rules and brought him back. I think that we will not see her for a long while.” Nanami said softly.

 

“How do we get there?” Ishin asked stunned.

 

“We do not. We have to be brought in by Mizuki or a shinigami.” Nobu answered.

 

“Shit.” Ishin said sighing.

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

Ayana was bleeding and tears obscured her view. She had decimated an old looking man who was a Bount and she was moving through the Seireitei. She saw Kenpachi and she snarled. He turned when he heard her and he ducked. She was slashing at him with her fan blade and he did not want to fight her. He grabbed her wrists and she yelped.

 

“Stop!” he yelled.

 

“You killed him! You killed him!” she screamed.

 

“Yeah I had to. You're bleeding little onna!” he said staring at her shoulder.

 

“You are an animal! You killed him because you could! You have no compassion; you are not worth anything you murderer!” she snarled.

 

“I won't fight you on this Ayana. He asked for a fight and I obliged.” He snapped.

 

“I hate you!” she hissed.

 

“Yeah so?” he asked condescendingly.

 

“You only deserve what you dish out. Instead of dying in a fight you should be tortured to death!” she growled as her venom began leaking from her claws.

 

“You deserve what you dish out bitch! You're a tease and a whore!” he sneered.

 

She began shrieking in fury and he jerked her forward. He intended to be cruel and her eyes were filled with tears.

 

“He fought with honor and died like a warrior and a true shinigami.” He said softly.

 

“That does not make him any less dead.” She snarled.

 

“It makes his death not a waste. Why did you do what you did?” he demanded.

 

“Because you are incapable of what I need!” she snarled again.

 

“Get away from me.” He hissed.

 

“You killed him!” she raged.

 

“Go on before I kill you.” He snapped.

 

“Do it! I dare you.” She said in fury.

 

Her free hand she shoved her claws deep into his gut. She released a huge amount of venom and he looked surprised as pain erupted in his side. He never flinched but dropped her as blood and slowly rotting flesh could be scented.

 

“Do it!” she screamed.

 

“What the fuck did you do to me?” he asked stepping back.

 

“I am a funnel web. I have to liquefy my prey before I eat them in my true form. That much venom will make you suffer tremendously and I shall watch as you succumb you dirty rotten bastard.” She said as her blood still seeped from her wound.

 

“That is not worthy of you!” he said in anger.

 

“Neither is killing an opponent who is not your equal! You should have fought me! Maki was no match for you and you could have just disabled him! Why did you it?” she demanded as tears slid down her face.

 

“You chose that rat over me? I heard you ran head long into battle so that you would suffer a miscarriage. Never pegged you for a murderer!” he sneered.

 

“You are nothing to me.” She said cruelly.

 

“No, you never gave it a shot. To think to find someone who could actually match me in battle and it was an onna. You are a conniving bitch.” He snapped.

 

She was loosing consciousness and she saw him go to his knees. She lay on her side and pressed her hands into her belly and cried softly.

 

“So sorry my loves. I will probably go to the Netherworld for my sins and my poor sweet babies. Yasunaru and Maki forgive me.” She whispered.

 

“Ayana!” Kenpachi growled moving over to her.

 

“Leave me in peace. I will die regardless. I cannot handle another separation.” She said closing her eyes.

 

He managed to stand and pick her up. He refused to be felled by something as insidious as poison. He was sweating profusely as he shunpoed to Fourth Division. He wondered where the hell Yachiru had run off to. He could not think as the toxin wound its way through his system. He was enamored with the onna still and he stumbled into the building. He was not being himself and he most certainly would not appear weak to anyone. He was pretty sure that anyone else would have already succumbed to the venom. Captain Unohana ran up to him and took Ayana from him.

 

“Captain Kenpachi. Let my squad members look at that abscess. Is that a spider bite?” she asked shocked.

 

“Just for a moment; I have some more Bounts to kill.” He growled.

 

“That is rotting your flesh and draining your reiatsu sir.” She said gently.

 

“Drain it so I can go on!” he yelled.

 

“As you wish. Who did this?” she asked as she worked on the abscess.

 

Ayana was being seen to by other Squad Four members and Yuzuna came over. She fell to her side and looked up. She saw Kenpachi and she growled.

 

“What did you do? What the fuck did you do?” she snarled.

 

“She got me too.” He snapped back.

 

“If you do not give him anti-venom then his insides will continue to be eaten away.” Yuzuna said cruelly.

 

“Do you know how to release your sister's venom?” she asked.

 

“She intended to kill him so why should I help?” Yuzuna snapped.

 

“Lady Yuzuna, Jyuushiro would not like this.” Captain Unohana said gently.

 

She hissed and lifted Ayana's wrist. She worked the muscles and venom began dripping from her claws. Captain Unohana caught the venom in a small cup and took it away.

 

“Why did you have to kill him? You may as well have killed her!” Yuzuna snapped.

 

“So?” he said in his obnoxious voice.

 

“You are a loutish brute! She is named after the most powerful kumo onna that ever lived. Ayana Agelina's blood runs in her veins! Who are you?” she snarled.

 

He did not answer nor did he care to. Captain Unohana brought him a draught and he downed the disgusting brew. She carefully lanced the wound and putrid, rotted flesh came out. He said not one word and stood up and left after he was bandaged. Ayana was being healed slowly and Yuzuna bit into her wrist and opened her sister's mouth. Ayana grabbed her wrist and held on as she took in her blood. The squad four members were almost horrified but it indeed helped their patient. Ayana came to slowly and saw her almost full inu sister.

 

“Yuzuna?” she asked softly.

 

“Hai big sis. You need to get well. You are pregnant.” She said brushing back her ebony hair.

 

“I know. I cannot feel him.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Do not think on him for now. We will help you sister. Take from us for your baby.” She said softly.

 

Ayana nodded and sat up. She was woozy and she growled. She ported and she found Kenpachi. She was boiling that he should still be standing let alone moving. He felt her and he whirled fast. She was crushed against a wall and he was furious.

 

“You aren't going stop till one of us dead are you? I swear any other time I would be pleased to answer your challenge but they tell me you're knocked up!” he said in her ear.

 

“Put me down!” she screamed.

 

“It isn't gonna happen little onna. I don't kill pregnant onna and you aren't gonna fight me cause you are not at your full strength. You would not be worth it!” he hissed.

 

She grabbed his cock through his hakama and his eye widened. She ripped his eye patch from him. He was thinking of every way to kill her but she squeezed harder. She was hateful and she went to squeeze harder and he grabbed her wrist and squeezed harder. She yelped and let go. He shifted her so that they were face to face and he glared at her.

 

“You like to play rough.” He whispered in her ear.

 

“Why did you take him from me?” she asked in anguish.

 

“It was an honor thing.” He said harshly.

 

“He meant nothing to you. He was only an annoyance to you.” She cried.

 

He glared at her and he leaned forward to gently nip at her lips. She was crying again and he kissed her fully. He wanted her and he had been jealous he knew.

 

“I want you little onna. Let me care about you.” He said running his thumbs over her lips.

 

“Tell me why you killed him?” she snarled.

 

“I wounded him bad; I did not kill him. You want to know the truth? I like you a lot. I wanted you and that traitor got you.” He said in disgust.

 

She stared at him in disbelief and he kissed her slowly. She groaned at the intimacy and he slowly let her down.

 

“I have to go.” He said backing away.

 

She watched him leave and she could not stop the crying. She made her way to the Kuchiki estate and knocked on the door. A servant answered and bowed.

 

“Is the Lady Kuchiki here?” she asked dully.

 

“Hai.” She said bowing.

 

She followed the tiny onna and was lead into the master bedroom. Mizuki was fast asleep on the bed and Ayana lay next to her. She wrapped herself around her older sister and sobbed softly. She wished that she had just died and she wanted to hate Kenpachi. She wanted to hate all shinigami and she most certainly hated Kariya. She finally passed out as they battles raged around them.
