In Search of the Elusive Bengal

 

 

Asuna was checking on all matters that pertained to her life and her family. Surprisingly things were pretty much the same but Mizuki had confessed that Kazuo had turned into an Arrancar named Perro but Mizuki had said that the Ulquiorra had never heard of such an entity now. Asuna sighed in relief and wondered about Grimmjow. That beast was arrogant and had a blood lust unlike anything she had ever seen. Naraku, Ishin, and Nobu had all confronted her on the pregnancy and Naraku had gotten a hold of her and had marked her viciously. It seemed her mates were reasserting themselves in her life and she was stretched thin yet again. She happened to be in Sendai with Hinata and feeding him as she read histories. Sheng and the boys had passed into time but she knew her old mate. The wars with Panyu had never taken place even though she remembered. Chen had never died either as a result and that shocked her to her core. Ichigo was having temper tantrums about her staying amongst her other mates and she was ignoring him at the moment. She intended to give Isshin and Ichigo Hinata for the weekend. She was uncomfortable as she had a hard time keeping down food. She stood up and stretched and put Hinata on the floor to play. Her Ishin came in and smiled at her. She smiled in return and he stepped over to her.

 

“Hello inu.” He said looking down at her.

 

“Hello my Lord Ishin.” She said grinning.

 

He gathered her to him and consumed her completely until they heard clearing of a throat. They turned and Naraku watched amused.

 

“Save some for me Ishin.” He stated.

 

Ishin stepped aside and Naraku lifted her chin. She saw much in his mahogany eyes and expertly brought her to her knees literally as he kissed her into submission. He pulled away slowly and stared into her eyes.

 

“Remember who your master is.” He whispered.

 

She nodded dumbly and he began whistling as he walked along. She stared back at him and lust ripped through her. His hair had been shortened to his shoulders and he wore tailored clothing well. Naraku was wearing a pair of dark jeans, white button down, and a casual sport coat and she was salivating. She growled and Ishin laughed.

 

“I tell you what. You go give him pay back and I will get your tail later.” The funnel web snickered.

 

“Hai.” She mumbled.

 

She followed Naraku and she ended up pinning him against the wall near their chambers. His face held a dare and she scented his neck.

 

“There is my inu I love.” He growled.

 

“You are my master?” she asked.

 

“Hai. I always have been. There we are.” He said lifting her skirt.

 

Her eyes widened as he worked her clit right there. She whimpered as he touched her and slipped a finger into her.

 

“I want you to scream my little inu. I want you to loose your mind. Does your little ningen lover take you as you need? Does he understand he has to take and make you surrender?” Naraku asked as his tongue licked along her ear.

 

“Kamis Naraku!” she nearly screamed as her body convulsed.

 

“That is very good my koi.” He said pulling her into the room.

 

He shoved her onto the body and hiked up the skirt of her sundress and moved her panties out of the way. He tasted her release and groaned. She was moaning again and he growled harder. He truly did not care at this point who was her lover as he knew her as no other could, not even Ishin. He flipped her over and took her hard until she did scream. He smirked an evil grin and knew the grown pups would turn red. He was quite pleased with himself and she was breathing hard as he slipped from the bed and proceeded to dress slowly.

 

“You look gorgeous all sated and glowing from my possession of you.” He said in his silky voice.

 

“Hai.” She said sleepily.

 

“I have business in Korea but I shall come back and we shall see if we can make you scream louder.” He said sauntering away.

 

Her hanyou mate had become quite sure of himself and quite suave. She lusted over powerful males and he knew it. He was gorgeous and so very good at making her weak. She was sleeping lightly when Ayana came in and plopped down beside her.

 

“Um haha?” she asked.

 

“Uh huh?” Asuna mumbled.

 

“Uncle Naraku is acting like his old self.” She said grinning.

 

“Uh huh.” Her mother muttered.

 

“Well you asked me to see if the brothers of Mingli lived and I found three still alive.” She said smirking.

 

“Good.” She said trying to wake up.

 

“Chichi got a hold of you yet?” she asked snickering.

 

“No. Kamis they are going to make me too tired.” She said struggling to sit up.

 

“Well here is their information. I need to feed Hoshi.” She said getting up.

 

“How is your shinigami?” she asked.

 

“Kamis haha! I am so happy! I was happy with Yasunari but I am whole now. I love our baby and I love him!” she said grinning.

 

“Good.” She said rising.

 

“Mizuki is happy with Byakuya and Karu.” Ayana observed.

 

“Hai. It works for her. Do me a favor avoid the Kenpachi fellow.” Asuna said dressing in jeans and a light blue button down.

 

She began brushing out her silver hair and Ayana nodded. Her kumo daughter slipped away and she was happy. She touched her belly and she somehow was perfectly okay with having Li's cub. She went to the common area and plucked Hinata up from the floor and Ishin's care. He looked at the boy affectionately and she smiled.

 

“You remembering ours little?” she asked.

 

“Hai. They are all grown now and they turned out so good. Osami is still running around single and causing havoc.” He said sighing.

 

“He is like his namesake.” Asuna grinned.

 

“Hai. Your brother is something else.” Ishin laughed.

 

“Hai. I am taking Hinata to Ichigo.” She stated.

 

“You know you could have told us the truth. I would have been okay Asuna. I hate you think you have to hide who you are.” He said raising an ebony brow.

 

“I am sorry Ishin. I should know by now.” She sighed.

 

“Get him to his sire.” He said smiling.

 

She bowed and ported away. She was in her beach house and Ichigo had his homework spread out on the coffee table.

 

“Hello Ichigo.” She said softly.

 

“Oh hey! Come here big boy.” Ichigo said as Asuna put him on the floor.

 

Hinata crawled over to his sire, squealing the whole time. Ichigo picked him up and hugged him tightly. He sat him beside him and he went back to his work.

 

“Have you eaten?” she asked.

 

“Naw. I haven't had time.” He remarked.

 

“I am sorry I have been gone so much.” She said as she pulled out some food and popped it in the microwave.

 

“It's really no big deal. School has been a bitch!” he groused.

 

“Well that should be your focus.” She stated as she took out the bowl of seasoned noodles.

 

She handed the food to Ichigo and a pair of chop sticks and he began eating. She watched contented and she smiled at her son trying to pull on his sire's tee shirt. She sensed an aura and she jumped up. She ran outside quickly and she saw Grimmjow. He smirked and she sighed.

 

“Not now Arrancar. I am unable to fight right now.” She said raising a brow.

 

“Why?” he demanded.

 

“Because I am newly pregnant and I refuse to put my babe in danger.” She stated.

 

“Ugh! I am itching to kick your ass!” he snapped.

 

“Well I am sorry.” She said crossing her arms.

 

It was hilarious to her that this creature only wanted to fight or rut. She shook her head and began walking away. He came right up behind her and scented her neck deeply.

 

“I would recognize another big neko! What the fuck did you tangle with?” he demanded.

 

“A very old and very dear friend. You do realize that there is a full world of youkai that are in part animal?” she asked.

 

“Why should I care?” he asked.

 

“Grimmjow, I suspect you were in fact not ningen but possibly youkai. I have come to find out that even youkai souls can become hollows. It seems to me that most of the Arrancar must be former youkai.” She said.

 

“What kind would I be?” he asked gruffly.

 

“A big cat. I was mated to a silver tiger at one time. He died in the same battle as me. I also have three cubs, a son and twin daughters.” She said looking at him closely.

 

Grimmjow was handsome in a very rugged and wild way. He was very rough around the edges and oozed violence and sex. She looked away and sighed.

 

“Whose brat is this one?” he demanded.

 

“His name was Mingli and he was a Bengal tiger.” She stated gently.

 

“So what kind of onna are you?” he growled out.

 

“I ruled vast amounts of land awhile ago. My eldest son was the emperor of China at one time. I was a lord and I kept more than one mate. Males did it all the time back then and so did I.” she shrugged.

 

“How long you've been alive?” he asked in a curious tone.

 

“More than four centuries. I was in Soul Society for one century but a Kami brought me back.” She shrugged.

 

“Huh. Well I guess I've got to bust up your little boy toy!” he snickered.

 

“Leave him alone. He has finals this week.” She said amused.

 

“Bitch!” he snapped walking away.

 

“You state the obvious Arrancar!” she shouted in a mirthful tone.

 

He made an obscene gesture and he produced a garganta and left. She was right and he did have a skewed sense of honor. Asuna was curious who he had been and figured it was better not to know. She sighed and walked back to the house. Hinata was stacking blocks and Ichigo was still engrossed in books and his bowl sat on the table finished.

 

“I love you.” She said softly.

 

“Yeah me too.” He said without looking up.

 

She was happy that he was pursuing his studies like he did battle and she took the baby with her to the deck and she settled to watch the ocean. Memories of Yuudai, Osamu, and her frolicking on a beach in the West crossed her mind and she smiled. She pulled the piece of paper out of her pocket with the information about Li's remaining family. She saw the name Feng and she smiled softly in remembrance of the younger brother of Mingli. There was a phone number for him in Lhasa and she picked up her cell phone and dialed. She heard it ring and a familiar voice answered.

 

“Chai here.” He answered.

 

“Feng?” she asked.

 

“Who is this?” he asked.

 

“This is Lady Asuna from your past my friend.” She stated.

 

“Good Gods! How are you? I thought you had died.” He stated.

 

“Are you available for dinner or something?” she inquired.

 

“Sure! You still in Japan?” he asked.

 

“I have a home between Tokyo and Karakura Town on the beach. Would you care to come here?” she asked.

 

“I could port but would I scare any mortals? I know the general area.” He stated in his seductive voice.

 

“If you port discretely then you should be fine. I await you here. Call when you are close.” She stated.

 

“Gotcha.” He said nearly purring.

 

She stood and brought her pup in and set him on the floor to crawl. He squealed and cooed as he crawled along. She went to her room and changed into a black gown that barely covered her breasts and plunged down in a v shape at the waist. There was no back and it came to the floor. She pulled her hair back and she stepped into some heels. She walked out and Ichigo was laid out on the couch with Hinata on his belly. His mouth dropped open and he stared at her.

 

“Good Kamis! Where're you going? Dinner with the Emperor?” he asked shocked.

 

“No but with a prince. Do I need to drop Hinata off somewhere?” she asked.

 

“No, I got him but who're you seeing?” he demanded.

 

“His name is Chai Feng and he is the younger brother of Lord Mingli whom you saw in the past. I have some business I need to discuss and I planned on eating in Tokyo.” She stated.

 

“Looking like that?” he asked narrowing his eyes.

 

“Kamis damn it Ichigo! Hai, I am going like this. Do you have our son or not?” she asked.

 

“I have him. Don't know why you have to dress like a sex kitten though.” He snapped.

 

“Because it is a formal restaurant and this is formal attire.” She said in irritation.

 

“Yeah well make sure he knows you are more then spoken for.” Ichigo growled.

 

She sighed as her phone rang and she flipped it open.

 

“Hai?” she answered.

 

“I am near I think.” Feng stated.

 

“I shall meet you in Karakura Town outside of the high school.” She stated.

 

“Gotcha princess.” Feng stated and then hung up.

 

“Outside of the high school? The guys are gonna see you like that?” Ichigo asked in anger.

 

“Tell them you have nailed me okay?” she asked in a fury.

 

“Man oh man.” Ichigo growled.

 

She ported away and she appeared in an alley and she stepped out. She saw Feng and he was as beautiful as ever. His eyes were the same fiery orange and his hair was about his shoulders and his striping was still subtle with black and brown. He took in her appearance and his eyes smoldered.

 

“You have barely changed.” She laughed.

 

“You look more stunning then last time I saw you and you are showing skin. Damnit woman but you are gorgeous! No wonder Mingli was enthralled to bed you!” he said bluntly.

 

She rolled her eyes and he took her hand. His kissed her knuckles and he openly admired her. She smiled and he bowed.

 

“I called Casita's in town and we have reservations. You look good enough to eat.” He smirked.

 

“You are a flirt still.” She laughed.

 

“Why not? Ready?” he asked.

 

“Hai.” She said taking his arm.

 

He ported them into the city and very near the restaurant in a secluded alley way. They walked in and she noticed a covered deck and she was impressed. They were sat and they were poured water and she waved off the champagne.

 

“Okay you do not partake?” he asked amused.

 

“I cannot.” She said softly.

 

“Why did you call me after all this time?” he asked.

 

“I am pregnant Feng and I got that way when I took a quick trip to the past.” She said softly.

 

“Mingli?” he asked shocked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“When?” he asked in shock.

 

“Right after the attack against my offspring and before the whore came at Xizang.” She said sipping the water.

 

“Li was still fairly young and had just taken the lordship the year before. You carry his heir?” he asked in complete shock.

 

“Hai. There was a deal struck if you remember right. Your sister to be Quon's concubine and I was supposed to give him an heir.” She said lightly.

 

“This is amazing. You know he passed away after the Communist takeover right?” he asked.

 

“I know.” She said looking away.

 

“Look what can I do?” he asked softly.

 

“First off is a Bengal pregnancy anything like a Byakko?” she asked.

 

“No!” he laughed.

 

“Okay. How is it different?” she asked again.

 

“Well there is no pesky shoki to speak of. I mean you will probably run a higher temp because we are elemental but that is no big deal. Enlai is going to be shocked and so will Huan.” He said sipping his champagne.

 

“Junjie did not make it either?” she asked in sorrow.

 

“No. It is just us three now. I mean there are still a bunch of us Bengals left just not of the royal family.” He stated sighing.

 

“I am sorry. I miss Li.” She stated gently.

 

“I know he was madly in love with you. Ever since you showed up after Ba died. He was entranced with his princess as he called you.” He said smiling.

 

“How do you hide your tail?” she asked.

 

“Magics. How do you hide your markings?” he asked smiling.

 

“Magics.” She laughed.

 

“Well there is a helluva a lot of humans running around now days. There are only a million or so of us youkai left.” He said settling back in the chair.

 

“Hai. I know and it seems odd does it not?” she asked.

 

“So if you can go back then why not go back and tell Li?” he asked.

 

“My life is here and I am trying to avoid myself you know.” Asuna laughed.

 

“He would want to know my lady. He would want to know that the woman he had pined away for was giving him a cub.” Feng stated.

 

She sighed and nodded. They ended up having a very good meal of grilled lobster and rice. She was quite full and they parted company. She ported back to her house and she slipped out of the heels. Ichigo was awake and he saw her. She was still immaculate and nothing was out of place and he visibly relaxed. She glared at him and she began stripping out of her dress.

 

“You looked killer.” He said softly.

 

“Thank you.” She said sighing.

 

Asuna took the dress off completely and Ichigo was watching her every movement. She wore only a black thong and he was rapt. He stood up and Hinata was already asleep. He grabbed her and they ended up falling on the bed kissing.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She had her head lifted and she stared at herself. She took in a deep breath and looked over at Juria. She was wearing a deep red off the shoulder cashmere sweater and dark wash jeans with black boots. She wanted Li to understand that she was not the same and she nodded to Juria. She watched the portal appear and she entered. She was in Lhasa and she looked around and walked along. She was being stared at by tigers and she walked into the palace. She bowed before a guard who gawked at her.

 

“Could you please tell your lord that Lady Asuna wishes to speak to him?” she stated softly.

 

“This way my lady.” The Bengal said with undisguised lust.

 

She followed the Bengal and she was led into the main assembly hall. Li was at a long table chatting away with his brothers. He looked up and his blue eyes widened. He took in her appearance and his mouth dropped open.

 

“Lord Mingli. I request an audience with you.” She stated.

 

“Yes.” He said standing slowly.

 

He led the way to his den and she followed. He shut the door and he visibly gulped. She smiled and he said nothing.

 

“You are speechless and I have a good explanation for my appearance.” She said.

 

“Please sit. Would you care for some wine?” he asked.

 

“No. Water please or tea.” She said sitting in a low chair.

 

“Okay.” He said as he called for tea.

 

He sat opposite of her and he could not stop staring.

 

“I will come to the point. I am pregnant with your cub.” She said bluntly.

 

“Pardon?” he choked.

 

“Hai.” She said watching.

 

“What?” he asked dumbly.

 

“I carry your cub.” She repeated.

 

“We only just a couple of days ago.” He said confused.

 

“Li, look at me. Do you really think I am Asuna from this era?” she asked.

 

“Oh my Gods.” He said dumb founded.

 

“Hai. I am five centuries Li. I came back to take care of an injustice and I had to see you. I thought it right to tell you.” She said gently.

 

“I cannot speak.” He said shaking his head.

 

“If you would like to know; the cub is a girl.” Asuna stated.

 

“You are serious.” He said slowly standing.

 

“Hai Li. Look I have things that are pressing but I figured you would like to know.” She said standing.

 

“The nu zi wear such garb in this future era?” he asked.

 

“Even less in public.” She grinned.

 

“You look amazing.” He said with a dry mouth.

 

“Thank you.” She smiled.

 

“No, I mean you look really amazing.” Li said with growing passion.

 

“What are you thinking Li?” she asked.

 

“I am in shock. It is not bad mind you but Gods they wear less?” he asked shocked.

 

“Hai.” She laughed.

 

He stood and came to kneel before her and lifted his hands to hold her face. She turned her head and kissed his open palm and he suppressed a vicious snarl.

 

“May I?” he asked lifting her sweater.

 

“Please.” She said watching him.

 

He exposed her belly and pressed his lips to her stomach and he released a deep strum from his chest. His mind was having a time fathoming what she was saying.

 

“Help me.” He growled.

 

She stood up and pulled the sweater off and she unbuttoned the jeans. Mingli was staring at her lacy underwear and found these modern things quite attractive. He pulled the lace thing down and he sat her on his desk. He boldly opened her thighs and worked himself into her. He was overwhelmed in the idea that she had marked him and he had a right to do this. He released a shuddered breath and groaned into her ear.

 

“Do you know how much I have wanted this? Do you have any clue how much I have wanted to claim you?” he asked huskily in her ear.

 

“I knew but my hands were tied. It is different now for me. I am no longer a ruler of lands but of a financial empire it seems. Oh Kamis Li.” She cried out as he began moving.

 

“You came to me and eased my suffering. I fell in love with the second I laid eyes on you. You were truly the most beautiful nu zi. You asked me once to describe what I was experiencing.” He stated in a beastly tone.

 

“Hai, I remember.” She gasped.

 

“I still cannot describe it.” He groaned out.

 

She laid back and he lost it. He leaned over her and licked at her breasts and gently nibbled. He was still the same Li but different then her other lovers. She reacted immediately and he hissed as she arched her back as she came for him. He let himself go and bit his own lips to suppress his roars. He experienced an acutely powerful climax and he laid his golden red head against her chest.

 

“She is going to be so pretty.” He said under his breath.

 

“She will be a tigress though.” She stated lightly.

 

“I told you about my grandmother. The Bengal are not stupid and will accept a female from such powerful lineage. Asuna, you feel so perfect.” He groaned softly.

 

She smiled as she stared at the ceiling. She had time she knew to stay a few days and now she had to change his future. She would be damned if her baby girl did not know her ba. She closed her eyes and actually fell asleep. Mingli looked up and she was snoring softly. She looked so incredibly angelic in that moment. He knew she could be deadly but she was a sight. He ported them to his bed and wrapped himself around her body. He was still in disbelief that she was giving him a cub. He would have begged one from her at some point. He fell asleep next to her and purred in absolute contentment.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke slowly and realized she was still in the past. She sat up and she felt auras. She knew she was more attuned now because of the modern era and dealing with Soul Society. Li sat up and touched her shoulder.

 

“What is wrong?” he asked.

 

“I sense shinigami and hollows.” She said standing.

 

“What the hell are those?” he asked.

 

“Shinigami are death kami so to speak and hollows are spirits of ningen and youkai alike who have moved on into Soul Society.” She said dressing in her clothes.

 

“Soul Society?” he asked.

 

“The after life Li. There is an afterlife. I have been there and frequently.” She said pulling on her boots.

 

“What how?” he asked.

 

“I know the head of the Gotei Thirteen. The Thirteen Court Guard Squad.” She explained.

 

“Have you seen Ba?” he asked.

 

“Actually no but then I was not looking for him Li. It is a huge place.” Asuna stated and she extended her hand.

 

Konkisaiga appeared and his blue eyes widened. He met her eyes and she smiled.

 

“This is my fang. I have a daughter named Yuzuna who inherits Bakusaiga. This is Konkisaiga.” She said tapping the blade.

 

“How?” he asked in shock.

 

“No clue. I just know I invoked it once during battle and I have been able to summon it since. I have changed a lot. I have no need to channel my yoki through a weapon. Dress and hurry.” She said as he threw on a pein-fu and ku of blue. He slipped on clogs and grabbed his weapon. She ported them to the valley and spied two shinigami fighting a rather nasty hollow. She smiled and Li saw them too. She stepped out and went to her knee and released the Supaida nami from her extended and flexed hand. It hit the hollow squarely and it shrieked. The shinigami turned and saw her and she grinned.

 

“Come my friends, that is not a Menos Grande!” she said as she neared them.

 

She looked over at two soul reapers. One was a captain and another a lower level officer. She stared at one that could only be a Kuchiki.

 

“You are a Kuchiki.” She said in surprise.

 

“How do I know you?” he demanded.

 

“I know of your family shinigami. Old man Yamamoto is a friend.” She said smirking.

 

“You know the old man?” the other asked surprised.

 

“I do. Kill that thing will you.” Asuna said smiling.

 

“Urahara dispatch the hollow.” The Kuchiki stated.

 

“Hai Captain Kuchiki.” The younger shinigami stated.

 

Mingli was dumbfounded and he sat and watched his mate converse with low level death gods.

 

“You have a grandson I believe?” she asked.

 

“Byakuya. Who are you?” he demanded.

 

“I am Lady Asuna.” She said.

 

“Kaito's mate.” He said suddenly.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“Well this is interesting. This is Urahara Kisuke and I am Kuchiki Ginrei.” He stated bowing.

 

The elder Kuchiki was very handsome and had a very snobbish air about him. She was curious and decided to delve a little into the past goings on of the Seireitei to garner more on her current life there. They ended back at the Lhasa palace and Asuna was laughing as Urahara hammed it up for the tigresses. Li was next to Asuna on a chaise and his tail was languidly moving. Kuchiki spoke with an elegant tongue and they just listened. Mingli was intrigued and protective and he nuzzled her neck gently.

 

“You are not eating.” He murmured in her ear.

 

“I get sick to easily right now.” She replied.

 

“Shall I send for my healer?” he asked.

 

“No. I shall be fine.” She said smiling.

 

“You are both royalty amongst youkai are you not?” Ginrei asked.

 

“Hai. I am the Western Lands heir and Mingli is the Bengal Lord.” She stated.

 

“So a tiger and an inu. That is odd no?” the elder Kuchiki asked.

 

“It normally would be but Lady Asuna is my best friend above anything.” Li replied.

 

“Curious. You are also a mainland ruler are you not?” the shinigami captain asked.

 

“I am.” She smiled.

 

“You inherited your lands from an inu known as Tekeshi correct?” he asked with a knowing glance.

 

“How would a shinigami know?” she asked leaning forward.

 

“Apparently like you, I know much.” He said.

 

“Do not play games with me Kuchiki.” She growled.

 

“Soul Society is a big place as you know Lady Asuna. We know of the youkai portion but it is forbidden to those of us not granted permission by Central Forty Six to pass.” He stated.

 

“What do you know of Tekeshi?” she demanded.

 

“I know his whole family was wiped out.” He stated.

 

Asuna's eyes flashed red and Mingli tried to calm her down. She was furious with the shinigami's presumptuous air and she stood up in anger.

 

“I did not make Katashi deny his son! I adopted his son by that Shouten she devil as my own because I unknowingly wronged the boy. I went to war to give him back his birthright and you come in here with your superior air? How dare you! Were you there?” she demanded.

 

“No of course I was not.” He said raising a brow.

 

“Then how dare you make your little snotty judgments about me!” she snapped.

 

“I am only saying Lady Asuna, you seem to have a knack for causing Soul Society issue.” He said bluntly.

 

“How should that be your concern?” she sneered.

 

“As a captain I assume that it is a concern of mine.” He said raising a brow.

 

“I am sure you are missed back in Soul Society Captain Kuchiki.” She said in a dismissive tone.

 

“As you wish Lady Asuna.” He said standing and then bowing.

 

Urahara looked sheepish and followed after the shinigami captain and they left. Asuna was boiling mad and she looked at Li. The other tigers left and she gave him her hand.

 

“I have to go back but I need you to do something.” She said.

 

“Anything for you.” He said kissing her palms.

 

“China proper will fall and a group of ningens will take over. Avoid the communist regime in the twentieth century. Also do not fret if you hear of my death. I am fine.” She said kissing him.

 

“You are telling me I die?” he asked surprised.

 

“Hai. I will find you but you have to swear to give up your title if need be.” Asuna begged.

 

“Absolutely.” He said standing and holding her tightly.

 

“I have to go Li.” She whispered in his ear.

 

“I know.” He whispered back.

 

“I love you.” She stated closing her eyes.

 

“This is truly the first time I have heard you say it.” Mingli stated softly.

 

“I have for awhile. Okay, I will leave after.” She said groaning as cheeks were touching and their hands fisting in their clothes.

 

“Okay.” He murmured.

 

She appeared later in her era and was determined to find him. Her time was amazing but she intended to speak to Teru about his damn opinionated shinigami. She produced a gate and went through. She walked with purpose to Squad One headquarters and walked right in. He was in a captain's meeting and she paced as she waited. She intended to sucker punch the Mayuri creep when he walked by for fun. The captains filed out and she mouthed later to Byakuya and he looked surprised. She walked up to Mayuri and punched his painted nose. Blood gushed from the wound and she walked on past. Her sons in law snorted in laughter and she walked into Teru's office. She sat down and he looked up in his old man guise.

 

“First off I hate Kuchiki Ginrei with a passion. Two what do you know of Tekeshi?” she demanded.

 

“He was your old mate who died in an epic battle with his own son.” He shrugged.

 

“Teru!” she growled.

 

“Kamis Asuna fine!” he said reverting appearance.

 

“You are lying. I have been your lover long enough now to know when you lie.” She growled loudly.

 

“He is in Soul Society on the other side. You had circumvented his fate and they did not want you doing it again.” He said sighing.

 

“You know what? I have a mind to fuck up every little thing Kaimei holds dear!” she said hissing.

 

“Leave the Tomoshibi alone! I swear Hikari bringing back Nori and Ken'ichi landed her in hot water.” He snapped.

 

“You know what I am sick of my loved ones being kept from me! I am tired of you playing games with me!” she said standing.

 

“I broke rules for you to as well. Onigumo would have become a hollow and then you would never have seen him again.” He said in an angry tone.

 

“So why did you do it? Why?” she snarled.

 

“Because Asuna you have a knack for making people care for you and against better judgments.” He said standing.

 

“Screw that! I refuse to be ordinary and allow things to be as people think they should be! I make my own rules Teruyoshi.” She said with reddened eyes.

 

 

“What are you saying Asuna? Because you have guilt that all your mates and lovers should be restored if they died? It does not work that way little girl and it never has. You are and have been a loose cannon for over five thousand years. Your soul has been the bane of Soul Society since Juria sent you into Egypt!” he growled in response.

 

She took off the amulet and threw it at him. She was furious as she stormed away from him.

 

“Do not dare walk away!” he yelled.

 

“Fuck you Yamamoto Genryuusai Teruyoshi!” she yelled back.

 

He shunpoed in front of her and grabbed her tightly. Her face held extreme anger over the whole affairs of her life and the intense manipulation from the demi Kamis of Soul Society. She spit in his face and he slapped her.

 

“You think you are above everything and it is high time you understand that not even you are above all the laws of nature.” He growled.

 

“I have been manipulated by one shinigami or another for all of my lives. What makes you think I would not think myself above such rules when you yourself have broken them for me? You broke them because you know that I had been manipulated and you knew it was wrong!” she screamed.

 

“I grant you that.” He sighed.

 

“You think I should sit back and allow all of you fucking shinigami and shikyo konjou to continue to do it?” she asked in a dangerous tone.

 

“Perhaps not but you and your damn progeny are so blatant in your disregard. Your family is by far the most powerful youkai family in existence. From your arrogant and self serving sire to your ungodly powerful daughter Mizuki.” He said in contempt.

 

“You are an ass and you will stay an ass all alone. Leave me and my self serving family alone.” She said as tears sprang to her eyes.

 

“No, I will not leave you alone. I will not leave that baby alone.” He hissed.

 

“He is Ichigo's son and he is a good father.” She said in a quiet fury.

 

“He is my son and you will not dare take him from me! I consent to that boy being there because I have so much on my plate but I am the one that was there for your pregnancy. Do not threaten me with my child ever again.” He said in a very treacherous tone.

 

She was actually very nervous and he walked her backwards into a wall of the barracks. His reiatsu was flaring dangerously as he fumed. He was furious at her and he would carry through with his threats. He would bring Hinata into Soul Society permanently if need be. He wanted to harm her and love her at the same time. He held her neck firmly and pressed his lips to hers; she made a mewling sound as he forced her lips apart and tasted Asuna. He was desperate to completely consume her and she was fighting a little which made him want her more. He fazed them to his room in his castle and tripped her back onto his bed. He yanked her jeans off of her and threw them away. She stared down at him and his reiatsu was still flaring. Teru pulled her sweater off and took in her feminine curves. He lowered his lips and kissed her all over her stomach and hips. She lifted her head and she was confused and lost in the moment. They had gone from arguing to this. He spread her nether lips with his thumbs and exposed her labia and clit. He gently kissed her sensitive area and she squirmed. He sucked upon her exposed nub and she groaned loudly. He continued to suckle her button of nerves and he then thrust his tongue into her tunnel and she cried out for him. He wanted her surrender; he wanted this powerful onna supplicating to him as he allowed his tongue to tease her core. Her lips quivered and the physical feeling was sublime as he did things with his tongue she had not experienced on such a level. He did not let up and he teased her further by massaging her perineum. Her growling moans made him more determined to see her squirm and he took her clit between his teeth and used the tip of his tongue to massage it.

 

“Kamis!” she yelled out.

 

She felt his fingers enter her in both places and she quivered. His tongue and fingers brought her to a soul shattering releasing. Her legs jerked in her massive climax and her claws were longer and her fangs gouging her bottom lip. He slowly pulled back and he maneuvered her to her belly. He pressed himself flush to her body and he moved languidly in her. She was choking back screams as he took her completely. Teru held onto her back and just used on arm to hold himself up so as not to crush her. She felt exposed and totally vulnerable but it felt so good at the same time.

 

“What do you want from me!” she groaned out.

 

“Let me love you!” he hissed in her ear.

 

“Oh Teru, what are you doing?” she asked in a beastly tone.

 

“Quit fighting it! Surrender.” He demanded.

 

His reiatsu was crackling around them and she accepted it and she did scream. Her trembling walls clutched and released his member or he buried his nose in her silver hair. He thrust once more and she felt him climax as hard as she had. Asuna felt his lips on her neck and she moaned softly as he tasted her juncture. She shuddered in the after effects of their joining.

 

“Are you okay?” he asked gently.

 

“Hai.” She murmured.

 

“You are angry.” He sighed.

 

“No. I am exhausted. Your reiatsu is overwhelming.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Sleep then.” He said settling beside her.

 

“Hai.” She murmured.

 

“Do you doubt my feelings for you?” he asked.

 

“No. I have no doubts.” She said drifting.

 

He held the amulet she had thrown at him and he slipped it back on her. He refused for her to cower away and throw temper tantrums like she normally did. She was used to having her way and in his opinion she caused herself too much misery. He fell asleep next to her and enjoyed having the warmth next to him.

Mizuki was reading an email from one of her associates in Los Angeles and she was about to go the United States herself and kill Danning. He knew too much and his money to back a hostile takeover was staggering. She stood impatiently and growled in supreme irritation. She ported into Ayana's office and her sister was nursing her baby. She smiled happily at her niece Hoshi and Ayana looked up.

 

“What is up?” she asked.

 

“I am going to the United States and dealing with Danning myself. This pig needs a lesson and I am delivering it.” Mizuki snapped.

 

“Shall I make the jet ready?” she asked.

 

“Hai. Make sure our properties are secure and get Bihua to make sure of it.” She said leaving.

 

Ayana had picked up the phone and dialed the airport. She had the jet readied for her sister and she waited for Karu's tirade to start. She sighed and shook her head as Mizuki was in for a time.

 

Mizuki was packing her things and Karu stormed in. He was severely pissed off and she smiled at him. He stopped short and sighed.

 

“Why do you do that to me?” he asked.

 

“What?” she asked smiling wider.

 

“Give me your most beautiful smile so I will not yell at you.” He said coming closer.

 

“Ah well. I mean we have been mated forever.” She laughed.

 

“I love you.” He said leaning her head back.

 

“I know.” She teased.

 

“You make this so damn hard.” He said smiling softly.

 

“Uh huh.” She said stepping back and slowly undressing in front of him.

 

“So beautiful.” He whispered.

 

She grinned as she threw her bra and garter at him. He was breathing harder as he watched her remove her stockings. She slinked forward and wrapped them around his neck and she lay down on their bed. He scrambled out of his clothes and met her on the softness of their sheets. She pushed his head down and he stopped short for a moment. He stared up at her and his obsidian eyes were full of wonder.

 

“You and I?” he asked.

 

“Hai. Listen and tell me what you hear.” She stated softly.

 

“Kamis Mizuki! You are giving me a girl.” He said listening to his baby's movements.

 

“Hai I am.” She said smiling wider.

 

“I hear her!” he said excitedly.

 

“Why do you want a girl so bad?” Mizuki asked gently.

 

“Because I remember when Ayana was born and how my father became so silly. He loved that baby girl with all his heart and he loved her more because she was your mother's daughter.” He said with his head on her belly.

 

“Karu, your chichi loves you absolutely.” She said as her fingers ran through his hair.

 

“I know that goose! I just know Ayana and Iyo are his little darlings. Something about being a chichi to an onna.” He laughed.

 

“Well I am glad you are pleased my dear mate.” She said closing her eyes as he caressed her belly.

 

They ended up making love passionately and he allowed her to leave with promises to be careful. She stared over the Pacific Ocean from the jet and smiled in memory of her news to Karu. Thoughts of their first time together flitted through her mind and she sighed in contentment. She had the love of two very good men and she knew she was lucky. She steeled herself for the eleven hour flight. She had to keep up some appearances for the ningen and she managed to sleep.

 

The landed at L.A. International Airport and she was picked up by a limo. She was wearing sunglasses and a black suit. She slipped into the back seat and watched the sprawling American city from the window. She hated this place and preferred New York or San Francisco. They pulled up to the Danning's office and she stepped out. She made her way to the elevator and punched the thirty second floor. She knew this building well enough and she stepped out onto the floor. She walked into the board room and saw Trevor Danning sitting with a smug expression on his face.

 

“You look as beautiful as last time Miss Orlovich.” He said in a near purr.

 

“It is Kuchiki now. I am Mizuki Kuchiki Mister Danning. I know you knew that.” She said sitting down across from him.

 

“Well no matter. You seem to be resisting my buy out again. I do not know why.” He said crossing his fingers.

 

“Because you do not have enough money to buy us out. You are an American firm and we are Japanese. Our government is not very keen on this takeover.” She said crossing her legs.

 

“Why not Mizuki?” she heard from behind her.

 

She stiffened and turned around. She stared at an older and much more sculpted and beautiful Kazuo. His dark brown hair was pulled back and his dark amber eyes perused her. Her breathing quickened and she sat forward.

 

“Where have you been?” she asked with a shaky voice.

 

“Good of you ask. After haha came and saved us and she disappeared. She had told chichi to take us away. It was so good to grow up without my mother; how was she for you?” he demanded.

 

“She had good reasons,” she stated in a trembling voice.

 

“Care to share? Is my sister not the most beautiful woman you have ever seen Trevor? Used to give me wet dreams you know.” He said sitting across from her.

 

“You would have died if she had not Kaz! You and Hiroto would be dead.” She said shaking.

 

“Well good for us that she gave half a shit about us after showing your ass more attention.” He said smoothly.

 

“You know if you ally yourself with this trash then you deserve exile you worthless piece of shit!” she growled.

 

“Do you really mean that Mizuki?” he asked standing.

 

“Hai I do! You are of our line and you support this rubbish that allies himself with creatures that rape your baby sister!” she screamed.

 

“Which sister? I only ever really knew you and Ayana. You I knew well.” He said nearing her.

 

Her heart thudded in her chest and his yoki had grown exponentially. Images of herself and the Arrancar flashed in her mind and she was glad she was shielded. He was drop dead beautiful and the hammering in her chest was getting worse. He neared her until his lips brushed her ear.

 

“Your heart is going a mile a minute my beautiful little sister.” He said in her ear.

 

“Stop!” she growled.

 

“Still the little spit fire. I have dreamed of you for years my darling lil sis. You are still a hanyou.” He said seductively.

 

She slapped him and she saw from the corner of her eye that Danning was amused.

 

“Where is Hiroto?” she snarled.

 

“In New York with his mate and our sire. You are aroused you dirty little whore!” he snickered.

 

“Shut up!” she growled slashing him with her claws.

 

He grabbed her and smiled down at her with undisguised lust and desire.

 

“I have dreams Mizuki and I cannot tell if it is real or not. I dream of such strange things and I cannot explain it.” He said in a soft whisper.

 

“Unhand me you bastard!” she snarled.

 

“Then answer me.” He said licking at her lips.

 

“No. Unhand me!” she screamed.

 

“I want you to tell me what these dreams are little sister. I want to know why I know what you feel like.” He stated in her ear.

 

“You have not changed one bit you arrogant prick! Are you sure your sire was not Katashi?” she hissed.

 

“Clever quip Mizuki but big brother is back and you will have to deal with me and my friend here.” He laughed.

 

She jerked away from him and stumbled away from him. She tried to walk with some dignity towards the door and she yanked it open and stepped out. Kazuo was in front of her and pinned her to wall outside of the board room.

 

“You are attracted to me.” He said smirking lazily.

 

“I am not!” she lied.

 

“Hai you are. Hai I can speak my native tongue.” He said softly.

 

“Kaz stop bullying me!” she hissed.

 

“Am I?” he asked slipping a hand between her jacket lapels.

 

She hissed softly and he smiled triumphantly. His eyes roamed her neck and saw her mating mark and he scented her closer.

 

“Gods you are a horny little onna are you not?” he asked snickering.

 

“Let me go!” she yelled.

 

“When you talk to me Mizuki.” He stated ghosting his lips over her neck.

 

“Kaz stop! Oh Kamis stop!” she said groaning softly.

 

“What is this?” he asked then ran his tongue along her neck.

 

“Kaz stop! Please stop.” She begged.

 

“You are calling me by my nickname. You are weeping Mizuki.” He said as he licked her salty tears away.

 

“This is wrong!” she growled.

 

“You were the queen of wrong little sister. Why not tell me why I am having weird dreams.” He said calmly.

 

She grabbed his arm and dragged him into an empty office. She paced and looked over at him. His crescent was visible the same as hers and she suppressing vicious memories.

 

“Hiroto was killed before when the kumo attacked. You became a whacked out fuck and raped me! I never told haha and she buried you next to your brother after you killed yourself.” She said narrowing her eyes.

 

“Pardon?” he asked surprised.

 

“Hai it happened but now it has not. You became an Arrancar; a hollow if you will and you were you but then you were not.” She said in a wretched whisper.

 

“Those dreams?” he asked stunned.

 

“Were reality before haha blatantly changed it. You blamed her and me for Roto's death. She rectified the injustice and you are still blaming her!” she growled.

 

“What exactly is an Arrancar?” he asked.

 

“It is a hollow who has attained shinigami powers.” She said shaking.

 

“I have been away from home too long. I truly have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Why is your name Kuchiki?” he demanded.

 

“I am married as well as mated.” She said bluntly.

 

“Well so you are more like her then I thought. So my dreams are another reality. Intriguing really but why would I rape you?” he asked.

 

“You had lost your mind to grief. I am not a twin so I honestly have no idea what you feel but it happened and you were a brutal bastard.” She hissed.

 

“You accepted the Arrancar.” He stated.

 

“I know not why.” She said hugging herself.

 

He was instantly in front of her and tipped her chin up and ghosted his lips over hers. She growled loudly and he smiled.

 

“Somewhere in you there is a dirty little onna that desires my touch as much as I want yours. We should not have been born siblings. This is pesky especially when it is so obvious you want me to throw you up against that wall and still this awful yearning.” He said in a hoarse whisper.

 

“But we are siblings are we not?” she sneered.

 

“As I said it is pesky.” He smirked.

 

“You know you should be apart of our family not against us. You carry the same crest as I do.” She snapped.

 

He growled in annoyance then invaded her mouth. She actually mewled as he swept his tongue against hers. He grunted softly and did push her up against the wall as their tongues dueled. He slowly pulled back from her lips and his face was full of savage want.

 

“Mizuki.” He growled in a low tone.

 

“Kamis no!” she said looking horrified.

 

“You feel it. You feel it as much as me.” He stated growling softly.

 

“What? What do I feel? You are an asshole as much now as when you were a pup. You are mean and cruel.” She said trying to get away from him.

 

“I am? I have never been cruel to anyone.” He said indignantly.

 

“No just your blood.” She retorted.

 

He ripped open her jacket and blouse and groaned as he spied her perfect breasts. His mother was a beautiful onna but his sister had become a goddess in his eyes. He cupped her orbs and rolled her pink tits between his fingers. She shuddered under his touch and he growled loudly.

 

“You do not fight me.” He said with a predatory smirk.

 

“Asshole!” she growled.

 

He kissed her again and she hated herself down to her soul as she responded to him. She had no clue why she could not stop herself but memories of him as an Arrancar ripped through her and she ripped open his button down shirt as he had done to her. She ripped her lips from his and wrapped her lips around his male nub and dragged a moan from him. She bit him lightly and he hissed in pleasure as she undid his trousers.

 

“Mizuki.” He groaned.

 

“Shut up.” She hissed against his chest.

 

He held her tightly and the apparent memories possessed them both as he pulled them down. He jerked her trousers down and saw her creamy thighs clad in silk stockings. His eyes were reddened as he took in her and he had known she would be a beauty. He knew she would be perfect as he took in her every last detail. He shoved into her and she cried out for him. He did not care what their relation was as he wanted her as much as her damnable step brother had. Her soft sighs drove him crazy as he attacked her mouth. They moved against the other in torrent of unbridled passion. Her hands were clasped in his and he had no hope of lasting. She was clutching him too tightly and she was spasming around him. Kazuo took in her scream as she released and her yoki was awesome as he took that in as well. He managed to pull himself back and she growled as he did so. He looked over at her and she was flushed in her aftermath. Her eyes were closed as her chest heaved.

 

“Never touch me again!” she hissed.

 

She rolled and gathered herself. She ported to Tokyo and her private offices. She stripped quickly and took a shower. She stepped out when she was done and dressed in a casual kimono. She moved barefoot down to Ayana's office and stepped in.

 

“We have a problem.” She stated.

 

“Mizuki? What are you doing here?” she asked shocked.

 

“Kazuo is helping Danning. The prodigal son has returned so to speak.” Mizuki said grimacing.

 

“I thought he was dead.” She said shocked.

 

“No. He and Hiroto have apparently been in America for awhile with Sheng. Haha is gonna flip.” She sighed.

 

“Oh man.” Ayana said gulping.

 

“I have to find haha.” She said in anger.

 

“Soul Society.” She stated.

 

“Okay.” She said porting into the other realm.

 

She wanted to feel completely horrid but she had enjoyed him. She had become the whore he accused her of. She went to the Kuchiki estate and Byakuya was helping Yuji to walk when she appeared.

 

“Is my mother around?” she asked.

 

“She was at Squad One when I saw her hit Captain Kurotsuchi.” He said with a ghost of a smile.

 

“Okay. Hey there big boy! Your walking and chichi looks so handsome.” She said as she took in his formal robes.

 

Yuji squealed and Byakuya smiled warmly. She moved to him and kissed him violently and he was shocked at her sudden caress. She stepped back and ported away to Squad One. She appeared and knocked on the door. Captain Yamamoto called out and she stepped in. Her mother was there with Hinata and she bowed.

 

“I found the twins.” She said under her breath.

 

“Where?” Asuna asked standing immediately.

 

“America. Hiroto is in New York and Kaz is in Los Angeles with Danning. Kazuo is the money and the real power behind the damn puma.” She said in a growl.

 

“That little bastard!” she hissed.

 

Asuna handed Teru the baby and Mizuki took her hand. They ported back to the office in Tokyo and Ayana was there and there stood Kazuo and Sheng. Her old mate looked devilishly handsome as he took in Asuna as well.

 

“Well you look fabulous Asuna. Hello Mizuki.” Sheng said in a smooth tone.

 

“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Asuna growled.

 

“Coming home my sweet.” Sheng said smiling widely.

 

“This is not your home! This belongs to my pups.” She retorted.

 

“Come haha please, are we still not your pups, Hiroto and I?” Kazuo asked with a small smirk.

 

“When you move against your own family then you are not!” she hissed.

 

“Please! Move against? We are uniting it Asuna.” Sheng said leaning against the doorframe.

 

“You have been out of my life for a long while Sheng.” She snapped.

 

“So why did you come back my love? Why did you save us?” he asked.

 

“Because the boys needed me.” She said clenching her teeth.

 

“See she does care.” Kazuo said with a wide grin.

 

Sheng moved over to Asuna and tipped her head back and kissed her like he used to. She hit his arm and suddenly groaned as he filled her mind. She had forgotten that they still had a bond that he opened with a vengeance. Ayana went to yank him off and Kazuo restrained her.

 

“No!” he growled to Mizuki.

 

Mizuki stopped and she knew how strong he was. She had always thought Hiroto was the stronger one but it was Kazuo. Ayana turned when she saw Ichigo standing there and he did move. He jerked Sheng off of her and sucker punched the inu in the jaw. Sheng actually stumbled back and Asuna moved between them instantly.

 

“I told you in the past to keep you're fucking hands off of her asshole!” Ichigo yelled.

 

“Well well. It is the little ningen boy.” Sheng said sneering.

 

“Yeah the little ningen boy is fixing to fuck your world!” he said in anger.

 

“Asuna put your little pet on a leash.” Sheng said rubbing his jaw.

 

Ichigo suddenly sagged and his shinigami self stepped out. He drew his zanpakuto and Sheng looked amused.

 

“Oh the little boy has a big katana. We will be in touch lover. Maybe you should tell everyone that you are pregnant.” Sheng said walking away.

 

Kazuo stared at Mizuki and then followed his sire away. Asuna was fuming and Ichigo spun around. He was furious and stepped back into his body and slowly got up.

 

“Hey Asuna. Care to talk?” he asked in anger.

 

“Hai.” She said sighing.

 

He followed her into her office and he was obviously fuming badly and he grabbed her and shook her hard.

 

“What does he mean?” he demanded.

 

“He is making it up!” she snapped.

 

“Is he?” Ichigo asked.

 

“Hai! He is trying to upset everyone.” She growled.

 

“Okay.” He said releasing her.

 

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

 

“Damn it Asuna. I came to see you. Finals are over and I've a break. I was hoping to spend actual time with you and Hinata.” He snapped.

 

“Okay. He is in Soul Society.” She said sighing.

 

“Great. You know what? I'm sick of this.” He said in a growl.

 

“Pardon?” she asked.

 

“My dad said he'll consent to a marriage.” He said glaring at her.

 

“What? Why?” she asked dumbly.

 

“Because I'm ningen and I love you. I want to marry you okay? We have a kid together and who's to say there won't be more?” he asked.

 

“Ichigo, I cannot do that.” She said moving to the window.

 

“I want to call you my wife. This mate business is great and all but it seems like it gives you an out. I want my son protected within a legal union.” He snapped in anger.

 

She knew she would too many repercussions and she was clenching her fists. Ichigo hissed in annoyance and he left her office. She followed him and he was angry as he always was.

 

“Ichigo, how can we explain to the law?” she asked reasonably.

 

“We lie. I mean you do it when it suits you. Why can't you commit to me some? Like I stop you from doing much but I need this Asuna. I need this from you.” He said clenching his teeth.

 

“Let me see what sort of documentation I can come up with. You will not grow older physically Ichigo. You are no longer mortal. You are still ningen but you will live as long as any youkai.” She stated.

 

“I understand that. I swear next time I see that fucker that I'm gonna screw up his pretty face.” Ichigo stated in a jealous rage.

 

“This does not befit you.” She said softly.

 

“Why not? You know I'm learning to accept you as you are but I sure as hell ain't gonna accept that bastard back in your life. I'll go to Naraku, Nobu, and Ishin and tell them too. I'll tell them to come join the fun and I'll betcha they'll jump at the chance.” He threatened.

 

Her face was red but his words were thrilling to her soul. She growled and left him where he stood.

 

“I love you!” he yelled.

 

“Hai.” She snapped.

Ulquiorra was bored as hell watching the young shinigami boy and his mind turned over other scenarios that he could be doing. He calculated he had about an hour and he decided to see Erena and Rishou. It had been a month since he had done so and he moved with his sonido to Rishou's apartment. He appeared in the window and saw them asleep together. His face appeared blank but feeling was bubbling up inside his chest. He opened the window and stepped down. Rishou popped his head up and grinned at him.

 

“We have missed you.” He murmured.

 

“I have longed to see you two as well.” He stated.

 

“Rishou?” Erena asked sitting up.

 

Ulquiorra moved to her first and made her look up at him. Her soft smile made him ache in his body and soul. His eyes betrayed nothing but he kissed her passionately. Rishou chuckled and Erena groaned.

 

“I love you.” The Arrancar stated against her lips.

 

“Hai.” She whispered.

 

He moved against Rishou quickly and held his jaw. The shape shifter looked at his other lover in passion and they stared at each other.

 

“I love you as well.” Ulquiorra stated in a husky whisper.

 

“Took you long enough.” Rishou answered.

 

“Shut your mouth youkai.” The Arrancar purred.

 

Erena smiled as she watched the two men she loved more then anything tease each other. She was lying there watching when they both looked at her.

 

“What?” she asked.

 

“We neglect our heart. We cannot neglect what beats within us.” Ulquiorra stated.

 

Rishou grinned as he took her lips and Ulquiorra took her center. The Arrancar had no idea that he had been followed and he had no idea that the other Arrancar was grinning in malice. He intended to make Ulquiorra's life miserable but he enjoyed the show that three gave him.

Aizen was pacing his throne room and there had been nothing of the shape shifting female and his plans to keep the inu female had failed as well. He had punished Stark and Grimmjow for their failures. He looked over at Gin and Kaname and he was simmering.

 

“That onna has power that would augment an Arrancar or shinigami. If I cannot have her then I will take Byakuya's son. I want to see if we can bring out hollow powers in him.” Aizen said aloud.

 

“As you command Aizen-sama.” Kaname said bowing.

 

“You want the onna for more then just her power.” Gin observed.

 

“Well hai Gin I do. She is very good in bed and that is hard to find; it is tiresome to have to train a partner how to move.” Aizen said smirking.

 

“Hai.” Gin said smirking with a leer.

 

Aizen changed tactics and made plans to conquer the youkai onna.
