In the Cold of Night and Winds of Pain

Mizuki had again been taken and Asuna was wishing all manner of death and pain upon the former shinigami. She was in the hospital speaking with Nobu when she noticed Erena. She drifted closer and she saw Rishou there as well. She came to stand beside him and she looked at the onna that was in fact her daughter from her life as Ayana.

“Is Erena alright?” she asked softly.

“She will be.” He said sighing.

“How was she hurt?” Asuna asked him.

“An Arrancar.” He stated with gritted teeth.

“Erena.” She breathed in her ear.

“Hai?” Erena moaned softly.

“Are you okay? Which Arrancar was it?” Asuna demanded.

“Why did you never at least acknowledge us?” she asked in a choked whisper.

“Then I would not be able to face myself Erena. I am sorry and I am sorry if I hurt you. I have her memories and I can tell you how proud she was of you. She was happy for you and Ataru.” Asuna said gently.

“Tenma too.” She whispered.

“I know. You were always so much like her. Which Arrancar hurt you?” she again demanded.

“He had blue hair. Ulquiorra called him Grimmjow.” She stated falling back asleep.

Her face contorted in anger and she stood up. Rishou stood up as well and followed his mother and she looked absolutely furious.

“Haha?” he asked.

“I wish to every Kami that we had never met the shinigami and Arrancar.” She said in anger.

“I am glad I met Ulquiorra.” He said under his breath.

“I would hope so! How is your lover?” she demanded.

“You do not think less of me?” he asked his mother.

“Why would I? Your father might say something but I would never say a thing. Do you love him?” she asked gently.

“Hai. I love him and Erena with everything in me.” He said sighing.

“You cannot control that sort of thing Rishou. You love Erena and Ulquiorra from a past life. I understand you my boy.” She said bowing.

“I know you do. How is your shinigami?” he asked.

“Which one?” she laughed bitterly.

“I assumed there was just the orange haired one.” He said surprised.

“I am tied to Captain Yamamoto as well.” Asuna said bitterly.

“The old guy?” Rishou stated with a raised brow.

“For some reason Teruyoshi feels the need to hide his true nature completely. He is a shikyo konjou.” She explained.

“Probably because he is a kami.” Rishou observed.

“Ichigo left me.” She stated without blinking.

“He could not handle who you were?” Rishou asked softly.

“No. Meihui Jing is still alive. The Shouten were before you were born but they wreaked havoc on my life since I was barely over a century. Meihui is Ang Chi's natural sister.” She explained.

“What? A Shouten has appeared?” he asked in concern.

“Hai. I was with Yuudai and I felt a disturbance in Karakura Town. When I showed up, I saw her and we fought. I was injured and brought here by your sire and Yuudai. Ichigo was less then pleased and I felt no need to explain every single detail of my life. I took Yuudai back into my life as well. It made sense since Ken'ichi and Nori are alive.” She murmured.

“Haha. You have always loved Sir Yuudai. We all could see how you two looked at each other. Chichi was never jealous of him at all. In fact they would go hunting together when I was very young. You should be with those that understand you. We love our big family okay? We love you as you are. I think my mom is the coolest.” He said smirking.

“That means much to me Rishou. Take care of Erena. She thinks I did not want to know her. I just could not handle more then this life. Ayana's life devastates me whenever I have to remember.” She said looking down.

“Why is that haha?” he asked.

“Because it parallels this life so much. Be good my son.” She said hugging him tightly.

She went to her penthouse and she produced a gate. She needed to speak with Teru to see if there was a way into Hueco Mundo besides an Arrancar. She had been there once with Grimmjow and she was going to wipe his ass all over the place when she found him. She walked to his squad and went in. He was actually alone for once and she came into his office. He looked up at her and his appearance changed.

“This better?” he asked.

“It is how I prefer is all. How are you?” she asked sitting.

“Good. Hinata is at the castle.” He said sitting back.

“I need him to stay here. I need to get into Hueco Mundo.” She stated.

“You want a way into that cursed place?” he asked surprised.

“Hai. Mizuki has been taken again and I fear for her.” Asuna replied.

“Byakuya was just here and he said nothing.” He stated surprised.

“Then he does not know.” She sighed and stood.

“He will be distraught.” Teru stated standing.

“I will inform him. I need a way in Teru.” She stated bluntly.

“I will speak with Mayuri.” He said touching her arm.

She nodded and ported away to the Kuchiki Estate and she walked in. She found Byakuya in a library of sorts and he was eating a meal and Yuji was being fed by his nursemaid.

“Byakuya.” She said in a soft tone.

He looked up and his grey eyes met her golden brown ones. He knew and he stood up. His face remained impassive but she could tell he was tense.

“She was taken and I am finding a way in. I will retrieve my daughter.” She stated bluntly.

“Aizen will somehow destroy her by taking her power. He will kill her thoughtlessly or try to turn her into something horrid.” He said under his breath.

“We will stop him Captain Kuchiki.” She said softly.

“I will not leave Yuji here.” He said picking up his son.

“I understand.” She nodded.

“I will meet you in the living world soon.” He said as if an order.

She nodded and ported back to Teru's aura. He was with Captain Kurotsuchi at the moment and she sneered at the freak.

“Getting into Hueco Mundo is not the problem Captain General. It will be the getting out that will be a problem.” Mayuri said in his nasally tone.

“Let me worry about that freak.” Asuna sneered.

“You know you could hop up onto the exam table and I will gladly dissect you.” He retorted.

“Mayuri enough! My lady follow me.” Yamamoto said.

Asuna followed him and she touched his arm and ported them to his castle. He had reverted immediately and they walked the hall.

“Will you wait till morning to leave?” he asked softly.

“Hai.” She nodded.

They had dinner and she ended up in his bed and she laid her head on his chest. He was concerned over her lack luster responses and he made her look at him.

“How much do you love Hinata?” she asked.

“Very much.” He replied.

“Ichigo has walked away. He should have done so in the first place but I foolishly allowed myself to be persuaded. He accepts the situation and I will not be removing Hinata except to be with me when I am in the living world.” She said gently.

He closed his eyes and he was relieved. He opened them again and she was still staring at him.

“I battled a Shouten.” She mumbled.

“What?” he asked shocked.

“Hai. It was Meihui Jing.” She replied.

“Do you think Aizen found the wraiths?” he asked darkly.

“I do. She was fighting along side the Arrancar. I will not hesitate to decimate them Teru.” She said softly.

“This is why Kurosaki left?” he asked.

“He left because I went with Yuudai and dealt with my feelings. I did not need to be nagged and bitched at about what I do or how I do it.” She said sighing.

“He is in fact ningen Asuna. You are youkai and all that you are and all that you do wars with his morals. He is a good boy but he cannot understand you the same as other non ningen beings.” He said as he ran his hand through her hair.

“Yourself included?” she asked smiling.

“I was never born into Soul Society. I was born as I am.” He stated clutching her thigh.

“If you liked me and you understand me then why did you wait to know me?” she asked.

“Loyalty to Kaito.” He said softly.

“I see.” Asuna stated.

She sat up and slipped from the bed. She moved to the window and looked out at the peaceful evening. Anger twisted her gut and shame for herself. She turned and slipped back into the bed next to him. She fell asleep and Teru stared down at her as she did so. He felt a heavy weight and wished like hell he could help her. Soul Society had become so bureaucratic that there was practically no way he could. He rarely ventured out as it was. He finally fell asleep and he woke up and she was gone. She had written a letter and it was on the pillow next to him. He picked it up and she had wished him to take Hinata as his son fully. She was terminating Ichigo's rights completely and she would return soon. A smile graced his lips and he felt a little more peace.

Asuna was watching the painted shinigami carefully as he went about making a way into Hueco Mundo. She kept her hand extended and ready to summon Konkisaiga. He finally laid a shiny piece of metal with kanji inscriptions.

“You can summon a gate similar to a garganta.” He said cackling.

“Good. Perhaps the paint is toxic to you and you need remove it?” she asked in a nasty tone.

“You have what you need now you may go!” he snapped.

She smirked and ported out. She used the amulet to produce a way into the living world and she rubbed the metal of the inscribed medallion. A blackish rip appeared and she lifted her head. She could not wait on Byakuya but she felt a hand on her arm and she turned. Her wayward pup was there and he looked grim.

“I am helping you retrieve her.” He said firmly.

“Fine.” She responded.

They walked through and they appeared in a white desert. Kazuo looked around and he was amazed.

“Do you have any idea where to go?” he asked under his breath.

“Hai.” She nodded.

She took his hand and closed her eyes. She focused on Grimmjow and a slow smile spread over her features. She ported herself and Kazuo near the Arrancar, he was pacing as if bored and she narrowed her eyes.

-I will keep him busy and you focus on Mizuki's aura. Do you feel it? - she pathed.

-Barely! - He growled in her mind.

Asuna stepped out of her spot and Grimmjow saw her. He rushed at her and she threw him. He landed flat on his back and she moved to jump on him and he rolled. He grabbed her with his arm and his physical strength was incredible. He leaned down and scented her neck and he growled loudly.

“Kamis you smell good.” He said in her ear.

“You attacked Erena.” She growled in fury.

“Ulquiorra's pet? Yeah, I attacked her to get back at the arrogant fuck.” He snapped.

“She is important to my son.” She hissed.

“Like I am supposed to care?” he snapped.

“What do you care about Grimmjow?” Asuna asked bluntly.

“The hunt and blood spilt.” He retorted.

“I would say how sad that was but it is just plain retarded.” She retorted.

“Yeah? You want to see how retarded I am?” he hissed.

“When the only thing one cares about is power and battles the hai you are mentally unbalanced. The only thing worth living for is family and honor.” She growled.

“What do you know of anything?” he demanded.

“Quite a bit. I understand death. I understand much about loss. I tried to insulate myself from it and still do but I will tell you that I went through hell giving my daughter life and Aizen will not take that life!” she growled.

“You speak a lot of pretty words but you're really a bore.” He said yawning.

She stabbed her claws into his backside and he yelped. His face clouded in anger and he growled at her yet again. She got a predatory look on her face and he watched fascinated. She knew Kazuo was nearing Mizuki so she decided to keep the Arrancar busy. She pulled his face towards hers and he made a weird yelp. She immediately invaded his mouth with her tongue and he was suddenly breathless. They way she worked her wicked tongue and her lips against his had the normally manic and crazed Arrancar almost completely dazed. He made a very soft whine as she kissed him slowly and erotically. She finally pulled away and he stared at her as if she had lost her mind.

“What the hell was that?” he asked dumbly.

“That was proof that you need direction.” She said smirking.

“You bitch!” He snapped.

“You state the obvious Grimmjow.” She said shoving him off of her.

She tried to stand and he jerked her to him. He looked around cautiously and he pulled her up quickly.

“Use your porting now!” he commanded.

She ported them away and he looked around. They were further out in the desert and what Asuna had thought were trees were some sort of crystals. She was amazed and turned to stare at Grimmjow.

“Some other Espada were coming and I hate answering to anyone!” he snapped.

“Who?” she asked.

“Stark and Ulquiorra.” He said with disdain.

“You could have pretended to capture me.” She said circling him.

“Why did you kiss me like that?” he asked in annoyance.

“Honestly? I wanted to distract you.” She said in a low tone.

“From what?” he said nearing her in a threatening way.

“Why am I here Grimmjow?” she asked raising a brow.

“To take back your brat.” He hissed.

“Hai.” Asuna nodded.

“Why kiss me like that?” he growled.

“What like this?” she asked grabbing him and pulled him to her again.

He immediately opened his mouth and she began kissing him deeply again. She wrapped her arms around him and the passion mounted quickly. Grimmjow was finding that this was something he could get addicted to and he ripped at her coral colored button down shirt and she jerked his jacket off. Her hands were clutching and violently tearing at his skin and he was completely hard and damn near in pain as she bit into his tongue and drew his deep, dark colored blood. His mind clouded over in lust as he revealed her softer more feminine form but no less the warrior. She had his grudging like and now his crazed need. His own hand clutched her soft skin. He ripped his lips from her and his broken mask dragged across her cheek.

“Fuck!” he cursed in a thick voice.

“You can think of nothing else to say?” she asked as her eyes were tinged pink.

“I can think of lots of things; let me rip you apart bitch.” He growled.

He was not going to admit anything and she grasped his member. His blue eyes remained steely as she worked his dick and he had never felt it so fucking hard. She moved her other hand and palmed his testicles and he was so close to loosing it and his hand gripped her shoulder tightly; her pale flesh began bruising.

“Shit! Do something!” he hissed out.

“Take what I give you Arrancar.” She hissed back.

“I'm gonna throw your ass down and fuck you senseless.” He threatened.

“Oh really?” she asked with a licentious smirk.

She stepped back half a step and slid her hands up his sculpted chest. She lowered her head and licked at his nipple and then his other one. Her teeth nibbled at his cool flesh and she ran her tongue slowly down his body.

“Very much a shame you have a hole there. I could do so much with my tongue.” She purred against his skin.

He was about to say something in retort but her mouth enveloped his cock. She was mimicking the act itself and Grimmjow's body wound tighter then it had before. He released a long jagged moan as she took all of him. She was not stopping and he thrust against her as much as he could. She growled softly around him and he came suddenly and she accepted him greedily. She slowly pulled back and stared up at him. She slowly rose and again pulled him forward. Their lips locked and he ached to hear her scream. He tasted his own release and it was erotic. He jerked back and he was already hard again.

“You can see my mind?” he asked in a husky tone.

“Hai.” She whispered softly.

“Look in it now.” He demanded.

She dipped in and his blue eyes closed. His face registered intense lust again as she prodded within his very private thoughts. There were other places within Hueco Mundo besides Los Noches. She ported them and he pulled her onto the bed. He undid her pants and yanked them off of her. He slipped his fingers through her silver curls and he wished to the Kamis he could make Tousen pay for what he did.

“Lay behind me on your left side.” She commanded softly.

He actually did as she asked and she lifted her thigh a little. He pushed into her and he shuddered. She pressed her bottom against him and he groaned. He thrust his hips against her and this was so unlike their previous animalistic couplings. His hand gripped her hip and she was sighing and moaning for him.

“Cry out for me!” he demanded.

“Hai.” She groaned.

He wrapped his lips around her juncture and bit a little. She yelped and shook against him. His hand moved up her bare stomach and cupped her breast. He lightly rolled her nipple between his thumb and forefinger. She lightly cried out for him and he moved in her harder. His hand slowly drifted down her belly and he allowed a very small bit of cero to his fingers. He grinned into her neck and she gasped loudly. She began moaning like a whore for him and Grimmjow grew relentlessly. He massaged her nub as he moved harder. He suddenly pulled out and quickly rolled Asuna to her back. He began a harder pace and her body arched beautifully for him. She clutched his shoulders and he felt his energies being drained and he stared down at her.

“What the hell?” he groaned out.

“Harder!” she breathed out in a raspy tone.

Hearing her neediness was a drug and he let loose on her. Their bodies met in a quickening pace and his own breathing turned harsh. He yelled out as her yoki and his reiastu met. The sheer amount of power this onna had astounded him for a moment. Her groans became more breathy as her body gripped him completely. He bit down with his teeth into her soft juncture to muffle his own yell. He felt languid and almost content for the moment.

“Damn what the fuck did you do?” he groused.

“Be quiet and quit ruining the moment. Lie beside me.” She said softly.

“What because you say so?” he growled.

“Then do not. Let me up.” She growled in return.

“No.” he said staring down at her.

“Grimmjow!” she hissed.

“I like this. I like you beneath me and your noises.” He said in a low tone.

“You enjoyed something besides bloodshed.” She stated staring into his eyes.

He held himself up by his arm and he moved in her again. Her face contorted a little and the sight captivated him like when an enemy went down in a pool of blood. He did not stop and he watched as her face crumpled in complete ecstasy. Grimmjow gasped softly as another orgasm built up and the pressure and pleasure washed over him. He collapsed against as her and grunted in a softer tone. She ended up kissing him again and would not let up. He fell to his back finally and she took deep breaths.

“So where's your companion you brought?” he demanded.

“My son.” She murmured.

“How many you have?” he asked laughing.

“Several. I have to get up. Oh goodness.” She murmured as she pressed her hands to her belly.

“What?” he asked eyeing as if she was crazy.

“I felt my cub move. It is the first time I have felt her.” Asuna said with a soft smile.

“Your brat will be with Aizen himself. She is a nasty little bastard.” He said with a smirk.

“Well you are such a sadistic cretin.” She stated standing.

“I try.” He laughed manically.

She closed her shirt and retrieved her jeans. He watched her with intense interest and she ported away. The sex had been incredible and he was horrified at himself. She was a hell of a good time on and off the battlefield and he wanted more much to his chagrin.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kazuo was masking his presence and moving along the massive city without color. He could feel Mizuki and she was miserable. He prayed she was alone and he ported to her side. She looked up and he stared down at her. It seemed as though she was unharmed but she stared at him with haunted eyes.

“What has he done?” he asked in a low growl.

“It does not matter Kaz. What are you doing here? He told me you were hurt badly.” She whimpered.

“He lied.” He said dragging her up.

She whimpered again but he lifted up her loose haori. There was a terrible bruise across her abdomen and he pulled her into a hug.

“Who did that?” he demanded in a terrible whisper.

“One known as Tousen. It was my justice as he put it for disobeying Aizen; as if the man was some kind of Kami.” She said holding onto his black tee shirt.

“Fucking bastards!” he said holding her tightly.

“I hurt Kaz. Karu was so mad.” She said burying her nose into his juncture.

“It will be okay Zuki. I have been waiting for you to remember. I am going to jog your memory sooner rather than later.” He said gently.

“What are you saying Kaz?” she asked confused.

“Have you never noticed that your yoki compliments mine?” he asked just holding her protectively.

“Hai.” She said under her breath.

“Come on.” He said pulling her along.

“Kaz, he will find me again. I do not want to be here but he is resourceful. He will hurt those I love.” She said softly.

“Do you love me?” he asked lifting her chin.

“That is a stupid question! I have always loved you Kaz. Why do you think I was angry at you as a child? You pissed me off so much!” she growled.

“I know.” He said nuzzling her neck.

“Are you telling me what I think you are telling me?” she asked.

“What I am telling you?” he asked softly.

“You are mad at my sire and haha because the same damn thing happened! How can you? Who was I and why do I not remember?” she asked.

“It was long ago and my sire loved her passionately and he still does the fool.” Kazuo growled in anger.

“Are we getting out of here or what?” she asked in a short temper.

“Come on.” He said porting away with her.

They were in the desert and he felt that this was familiar somehow. She looked around and she pulled him along.

“Where are we going?” he asked perplexed.

“You are having flashes of the other reality. I still remember it and I know where he was.” She said urgently.

“What are you suggesting?” he asked.

“You were a Vasto Lorde as Perro. You were powerful as an Arrancar and I bet that the hollows would follow such a powerhouse.” She said walking determined.

“You cannot port out of here?” he asked shocked.

“No, I cannot. Can you?” she asked.

“But you can port into that Soul Society place.” He whined.

“Kaz, I carry genes of a shinigami or perhaps a shikyo konjou. I do not know exactly but that is the reason behind it.” She sighed.

She felt hollows all over the place and she allowed her shoki to come to her claws. They were beastly and Kazuo was sneering.

“Use your yoki idiot!” she growled.

“To do what?” he retorted.

Mizuki changed form suddenly and she was growling as she bared her fangs. The hollows stopped moving and Kazuo stared at the beauty beside him.

“She has much power.” One voice said in a tinny voice.

“Yeah well so do I.” Kazuo retorted.

Kazuo released his yoki in a flourish and the hollow. He managed to pierce the mask of the beast and it disengrated. He looked amazed and Mizuki stalked forward. The remaining hollows came at them and they proceeded to tear them to pieces together. She finally changed form and her chest was heaving.

“You okay?” he asked.

“Hai.” She nodded.

“Okay so what are we supposed to do now?” he asked.

They were surrounded by Adjuches class hollows and Kazuo looked annoyed.

“I have a friend within Los Noches. His name is Tesla and he is Fraccion of an Espada.” She said under her breath.

“Can he talk to these things?” Kazuo demanded.

“Hai. Will you be alright?” she demanded.

“Hai! Go!” he yelled.

She ported within the fortress and hid behind pillars. Tesla normally hung around Nnoitra's rooms and she moved quickly. She spied him and she hissed softly. He turned around and his face softened.

“What are you doing? Word was that you had escaped!” he chided her.

“Do you care for me?” she demanded.

“Hai!” he said getting defensive.

“I need your help then Tesla. I need you to come into the desert and help tame some Adjuches class menos.” She implored him.

“Do not question my devotion to you please.” He said scowling.

“Tesla?” she asked softly.

“I have yearned for you but I know you have your mates.” He said looking away.

“I can mark you. I can mark you and make you mine.” She said softly.

“No. Port us now.” He said touching her hand.

She ported them quickly and Kazuo was sweaty but only two Adjuches menos were left. Mizuki stepped away from Tesla and he stepped forward. He ended up releasing cero to subdue them and he looked back at Mizuki and Kazuo.

“They will not bother you further.” He said bowing.

“You were one of those?” Kazuo asked disgusted.

“Hai.” Tesla stated without tone.

“Kaz! Do not be you okay?” Mizuki growled.

“Hey Zuki remember who is older!” he snapped.

“By less then two years jackass.” She snapped in return.

“Please you two. Lady Mizuki, what else may I do for you?” Tesla asked.

“Can you help us Tesla?” she asked softly.

“How?” he asked.

“Can you open a gate and get us out of here?” she asked.

“I would have to stay as I would be branded a traitor and hunted down like an animal.” He said staring at her.

“My family and I will shield you. You would not be alone ever.” She implored him.

“Who else is here?” he asked.

“Her mother is here as well.” Kazuo said crossing his arms.

“She is your mother as well!” Mizuki snorted.

“Not that I claim. Can we go already?” he asked annoyed.

“I see you retrieved her.” Asuna said suddenly from behind them.

“Hai. Can we go okay?” Kazuo asked angered.

“Hai.” Tesla said producing the tear.

They moved through quickly and they were in a secluded part of Tokyo. Kazuo looked angry and annoyed and suddenly ported away.

“You two really have to talk.” Mizuki sighed.

“I have nothing to say. I did not abandon him to hurt him but to save him. I am sorry he cannot see it.” Asuna said unemotionally.

“Tesla will come with me?” Mizuki asked.

“Hai.” He said bowing.

“I want you to hide in one of the little used palaces in Korea or Vietnam. They would not think to look for you there. We shall prepare for an all out assault.” Asuna commanded.

“Hai haha.” Mizuki stated bowing.

“Thank you Arrancar.” Asuna stated and she ported away as well.

Mizuki took Tesla's hand and ported them to Vietnam and near the current day capital of Saigon. She moved through the retrofitted palace and Tesla looked around the muted splendor. His had no idea what he was supposed to now and Mizuki came forward to him.

“Thank you for giving up everything for me.” She said as she neared him.

“Hai.” He said blushing slightly.

Mizuki held his face and undid his eye patch. She pulled him forward and kissed him gently. He was surprised and reached up and held her face. He had learned how much he enjoyed the physical and it was pleasurable with her. Their few encounters had been brief but they were etched in his memory. She was removing his coat and he shivered in anticipation. Her lips began to graze his neck and he groaned softly.

“Lady Mizuki, this is not necessary.” He said in a daze.

“You do not want this?” she asked.

“I do but I do not want you to feel beholden to me.” He murmured.

“Tesla look at me.” She commanded.

His grey eyes met her mahogany ones and he groaned as she took his lips in unbridled passion and need. She pulled him towards a room and she was undoing his white hakama and black obi. The intensity was unlike before and Tesla gathered her in his arms and they fell upon the bed. They ended up making love slowly and she managed to keep him from release and he clutched at her desperately. Her legs were wrapped around his hips and he thrust harder.

“Mizuki! Please!” he cried out softly in her ear.

She groaned softly for him and she had kept herself back as well. Her walls began quivering around him and Tesla was shaking. He moved urgently and his voice was raw. He cried out as an intense and incredible climax stole through him. He fell against her and his breathing was harsh.

“Wow.” He mumbled.

“Wow?” she laughed softly.

“How do you not do this all the time?” he asked pulling out and falling to his side.

“I do this often. I enjoy this very much.” She smiled.

She clutched at him and he was very relaxed at the moment. Her face was flushed and he found her beautiful. He watched her arch her body as she stretched.

“What am I feeling?” he asked her suddenly.

“What do you mean Tesla?” she asked.

“I feel things. I am unsure of what they are.” He admitted.

“You like me I think. You have a strong need to protect me.” She said sitting up.

He nodded and she lowered her head to his member and he yelled out. He shut his grey eyes as unimaginable pleasure erupted from his groin. He had no clue that one could use their mouth in such a way. He was suddenly aching and she lifted her lips.

“Watch me.” She said as she slid down his member.

He arched his body and watched her move at an erotic pace. He reached up and lightly touched her breasts and her tips. They were going to crash hard and he was swept up in the act.

“Mizuki.” He cried out.

“Hai? Tesla let yourself go. You will not hurt me.” She said in a passionate tone.

“He has hurt you.” He said clutching her hips.

“You are not him!” she said leaning over his body and kissed him deeply.

Her kiss swallowed his cries as he went rigid. Her body was clutching him tightly and Tesla thought he could take no more. Mizuki nuzzled his neck and he closed his eyes.

“Tell me hai.” She whispered hoarsely.

“Hai?” he questioned.

He felt her fangs slip into the vein in his throat and the incredible pleasure erupted again. He was sure he was dead and this was a heaven of sorts. He could smell her blood and it was laced with power. He lost his mind to his more primitive side and he latched onto that power. He fed like he would as a hollow. She was moaning and sighing and she fell to his side.

“What did you do?” he asked breathlessly.

“I made sure I could find you always. I bound us on a very deep level.” She murmured.

“Why Mizuki?” he asked rolling to face her.

“Because you do not ask anything of me. You do not demand anything of me and you care about me because you like me. You do not want my power.” She said softly

“Oh.” He replied.

“You are so wise in some ways and so incredibly innocent in others. I know what you are and what you were but you are such an amazing person.” Mizuki said getting sleepy.

“Where did you get that bruise?” he asked.

“Tousen. He does not like me at all. I believe he thinks I corrupt Aizen; as if Aizen was not corrupt enough.” She said bitterly.

“I know why Aizen wants you but I cannot agree with forcing someone to care about you.” He stated as he fingers touched her silk like hair.

“He thinks that everyone should bow to him and it makes him want that which will not.” She said closing her eyes and starting to fall asleep.

“I will die for you if necessary.” He stated gently.

“Do not do that. I cannot handle that.” She said opening her eyes.

“Mizuki, why do I feel this? I do not understand. I saw you and I felt such an intense draw. I am an Arrancar.” He said shaking his head.

“Not all things are explainable and some just are. I was drawn to your beautiful eyes as well.” She said passing out.

He watched her and he felt intense things that he tried to name. He felt an overwhelming need to protect and cherish her. He sighed and stared at the ceiling and wished he understood.

Grimmjow was hovering in the air and stared at the orange haired shinigami. A cruel smile played upon his lips and he intended to fuck the brat up.

“I have been looking for you shinigami.” He said with an arrogant smirk.

“Same here. Well you're gonna be shocked I've gotten a helluva lot stronger since last time.” Ichigo said as Zengetsu's wrappings came undone.

“Where's your bitch?” Grimmjow asked with a nauseating smirk.

“None of your fucking business!” Ichigo snarled.

“Well I will tell you where your bitch was.” He said grinning madly.

“Shut the fuck up!” Ichigo said in fury.

“She was in Hueco Mundo and I got a really good look at her.” He said putting a hand on his zanpakuto.

“Shut up brute! You know nothing about her!” Ichigo said getting more furious.

“I know a lot more then you think shinigami! I know she has a birthmark on her lower back, right above her cheek.” He said smirking cruelly.

Ichigo's face blanched and he called on his bankai. He made his hollow mask appear and they went at it. Anger and betrayal hit him and he fought with all his might. Grimmjow released his red cero and he dissolved it. The both ended up in free fall and he hit the ground. Grimmjow had stabbed him with his zanpakuto and he watched as Rukia released her own shikai. His chest was heaving and his friend and sometimes lover came to help him.

“Such power! When did you?” he asked.

“Shut up. That was some display as well.” She said as she tried to pull the Arrancar's weapon out.

They both heard a cracking sound and suddenly Grimmjow's hand was against the side of her head.

“It's gonna take more than freezing my outer skin to kill me. You're fucking retarded!” he sneered.

They all looked up at another person and Ichigo was surprised.

“Hirako?” he questioned.

The Vizard began taunting Grimmjow and the Arrancar pulled his zanpakuto and he was fighting against the strange being. Ichigo watched and he was in pain and anger was eating at him.

“Rukia.” He said under his breath.

“What Ichigo?” she asked holding him up.

“I'm gonna pass out. Can you get me home?” he asked.

“Hai.” He said numbly.

Grimmjow was suddenly stopped from fighting by the Fourth Espada and he growled.

“Ulquiorra?” he demanded.

“The mission is complete. We leave.” Ulquiorra stated without any change in his tone.

“Like hell it is!” Grimmjow howled.

Ulquiorra opened a garganta and they began moving up. Grimmjow stared down at the shinigami and he scowled.

“It is not over shinigami!” Grimmjow hissed.

Ichigo finally passed out as Rukia held onto him. She shunpoed to his home and he rejoined his body. He was still passed out and she wondered what the Arrancar had said. They were not a couple but they did occasionally give into their lusts and she loved him without a doubt but he was still hung up over the inu. She sighed and waited for him to wake up.

Asuna was busy planning a defense against Aizen when Ichigo walked into her office. He was fuming and she ignored him.

“You fucked him?” Ichigo demanded.

“Who are you accusing me of fornicating with?” she asked raising a brow.

“That blue haired nut job named Grimmjow!” he practically snarled.

“Who I fuck or do not fuck is not your concern anymore Ichigo. I am not your concern.” She said calmly.

“Was it good or were you just in a slutty mood?” he growled.

“Here.” She said handing him paperwork.

She was keeping her temper and his eyes widened and he threw the papers at her.

“You bitch. You hard hearted harpy!” he yelled.

“You have said enough Kurosaki Ichigo. What I do and what I do for my family is not your concern at all. We are not your business at all.” She said standing.

He saw her belly and he was incensed. He grabbed her and shoved her against the wall.

“What is this?” he asked in a raw tone.

“I am not your concern. My daughter is not your concern!” she snarled.

“Asuna?” he asked in a hurt tone.

“You left me Ichigo. Now you can leave again. Take you and your self righteous ass out of my face. Never touch me again!” she said in a cruel tone.

“Did you fuck Grimmjow?” he asked in that same raw tone.

“Leave!” she growled.

“Did you?” he growled in return.

“Hai and it was good. It was a means to an end and now my daughter is safe. Hai I whored myself out and I would do it again!” she hissed.

“What do you mean do it again? You are a slut every second.” He said in fury.

She shoved him and tears actually pricked her eyes. They stared at each other in anguish and he snorted.

“Is she even mine?” he asked in a pained voice.

Her face grew wrathful and she nodded yes. Ichigo made a noise and left. Tears poured down her face and she wiped at them angrily. She sat back down and tried to concentrate. She was in a rage and she ported to Sendai. She walked to Nobu's room and he was at his desk. She fell into his arms and cried hard.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was lying on her bed and she heard the surf in the distance. She stared at the darkness and she had refused to give up her house she had come to love. She felt a presence in her room and she looked up.

“What are you doing here?” she asked in a hoarse whisper.

“Does it matter?” she heard.

“Hai it does matter.” She snapped.

She was pressed back into the mattress and Grimmjow was staring down at her.

“What did you do to me?” he demanded.

“I used you. You are not stupid despite your atrocious mouth.” She hissed.

“You used me for what? A distraction?” he snapped.

“Hai. You are a powerful Espada and I could not take the chance you would help Aizen.” She said breathing hard.

“I want you!” he hissed out.

“You can fight me later. I have had a bad day.” She cried.

“No. I want this.” He said leaning down and kissing her the way she had him.

She whined loudly and arched against him as he eased himself into her naked body. He was not taking her hard and he was aggressive but in a passionate way. His lips and teeth nipped her throat and she was breathless. He roared out as she climaxed and dragged him into one. He was breathing hard and he saw her shut her eyes.

“The kid came and gave you a hard time?” he asked roughly.

“Hai. You taunted him.” She accused.

“Fucking right I did. Stupid jackass.” He said pulling back.

“Who are you to meddle in my life?” she hissed.

“Who are you to meddle in mine?” he retorted.

“You started attacking me!” she snapped.

“Yeah I did. Some of the best fighting I've had. You feel bad and act like I'm some kind of monster and maybe I am.” He said pulling his hakama up.

She moved and helped him tie the stays. He looked furious and she put a finger to his lips.

“My sire's left arm was cut off by my uncle five centuries ago. He eventually regenerated but he was too proud to have it healed. He saw it as his penance for his carelessness in battle.” She said as she helped with the jacket.

“So?” he asked flippantly.

“You act in pride and I understand that. You are a great warrior and you still fight magnificently. You do not allow yourself to be hindered.” She stated as she tied his obi.

“I'm not stopping.” He growled.

“Stopping what?” she asked meeting his eyes.

“Whatever the hell I want. I have ideas and I'm gonna see it happen.” He said with a crazy smile.

He used sondio and he was gone. She was dumbfounded and she found she needed to know more on Arrancar. She dressed quickly and she ported to her son's apartment in Tokyo. She knocked loudly and waited. Rishou threw open the door and he ushered her in.

“Is your Arrancar capable of love?” she asked softly.

“Hai. They do not know what it is and when they are faced with it, they balk I think.” Rishou stated softly.

“Is he here?” she asked surprised.

He nodded with an amused look and she smiled.

“Erena is well?” she asked.

“Hai. She is asleep as well.” Rishou said.

“Will he speak with me?” she asked.

“I can wake him up.” Rishou said standing.

He slipped into his room and Ulquiorra was curled around Erena protectively. His heart hammered in his chest and the Arrancar had been rather passionate with Erena. He barely touched the white shoulder and he roused.

“My mother wishes to speak to you.” He said softly.

“Why?” Ulquiorra asked.

“She has questions.” He stated.

He rose and Erena rolled to her belly. Ulquiorra stepped up to Rishou and ghosted his lips against his. Rishou held in a groan and green eyes watched him.

“I will speak with the inu for you.” He said as he stepped back and pulled on his hakama.

He pulled on his jacket and silently followed Rishou to the living room. He watched the infamous inu onna and found subtle similarities that she shared with her son. His shape of face was hers and his lips he realized.

“You are Ulquiorra?” she asked.

“Hai.” He stated.

“What is going on in Hueco Mundo?” she asked.

“Unsure of the question.” He said in his monotone.

“You and Grimmjow do not get along but Grimmjow has been as friendly as he can considering his personality, with me.” She stated.

“He is trash. He would hurt Erena to make me fight him. He knows he is trash.” Ulquiorra stated unemotionally.

“He does not like to feel inferior and you have a rather superior air about you.” She said bluntly.

Ulquiorra said nothing and she knew she was right. She stood up and Ulquiorra remembered who she had been.

“You were the ruler.” He stated suddenly.

“When?” she asked.

“Before. You were her before you were this.” He stated in his flat tone.

“I was Ayana Agelina.” She said raising a brow.

He said nothing and she completely understood.

“So you were one of my generals. You were Ataru.” She said remembering.

She bowed and ported away. Ulquiorra looked over at Rishou and he walked to him. He turned the shape shifter away from him and wrapped his arms around the other man's waist.

“There is more time. I wish to feel you.” He stated in his ear.

“You have not let me touch you.” Rishou said in annoyance.

“I have wished for you to make Erena with child.” He said undoing his sleep pants.

“Well she is now. Can I have some attention now?” Rishou demanded.

“Hai.” Ulquiorra stated getting more heated.

“There.” Rishou hissed softly.

“In our bed.” He stated without emotion.

They made it to bed and they fell back. Erena sat up and grinned as Rishou was pleasured intensely by their mate. She leaned her head down and kissed him as Ulquiorra took him. It pleased her to no end to see them as such. They ended up as they always did with the three of them tangled together. Ulquiorra was pressing his lips softly to Erena's belly and she laughed quietly as Rishou slept.

“He is mine as well.” The Arrancar stated.

“Hai.” She said running her hands down his back.

“I will name him.” He said.

“Okay.” She gasped as his lips drifted lower.

Her face crumpled as he latched onto her nub. He still appeared impassive and very calm but his appetite for affection and love was tremendous. He ran his finger tips along her thighs and her nerves were overloaded. She groaned out as she came for him and he slid up her body.

“I love you. I love this life.” He stated as he lifted her leg.

“Ulquiorra!” she gasped as he entered her.

“This is what I exist for; I exist for my heart.” He stated in a whisper.

His female mate groaned out as she was in ecstasy quickly. He lay beside her and in between Rishou and Erena. He felt surprise but he felt happiness when Rishou had told him of her condition. Memories of his past life entered his mind and he remembered the day she had told him that she was pregnant when he was Ataru. He touched the hair of both of them and thoughts of Grimmjow made him want to kill the Sixth Espada. He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep next to his mates.

Ichigo was on top of the Urahara shop watching the night. He had just fought a regular old hollow and his mind would not stop working. He felt awesome power and he knew exactly who it was. He shunpoed to find Asuna standing near the river. She held a pen and paper in her hand and he stared at her with horrendous pain in his gut.

“I demand you sign these and do not be a fool and fight it. Hinata is mine and I will raise him. I do not need you.” She said in a cold tone.

“Fuck you! I ain't signing shit!” He growled.

“Fine then. You do not have the means to fight my family Ichigo. Do not be stupid.” She said narrowing her eyes.

He closed the space between them and gripped her chin in a crushing grip. Her eyes bled red and he jerked the paper out of her hand. His reiastu was building and his anger and grief mounted along with it.

“Stop!” she hissed.

“You aren't taking my son away from me anymore! You think I'll stand by and let you take her too? How can you be this way?” he raged as his eyes changed to blue as the reiastu became visible.

“Back down Ichigo!” she yelled.

She yelped as the pressure brought her to her knees. She cried out and released her own yoki in defense. The power clashed and they were thrown apart. She held out her hand and her fang appeared. Ichigo pulled his zanpakuto and they began fighting. This time it was not sparring and they both were reacting.

“How could you do this?” he yelled at her.

“You walked away boy!” she yelled back.

“Shut up!” he snarled and their blades rang out.

Ichigo was not holding back and she was on the defensive. She surged her yoki and unleashed it and Ichigo had to block with his weapon. They were moving at staggering speeds and he suddenly threw Zengetsu away and he jerked Konkisaiga away. He gathered her in his arms and he began savagely attacking her throat with his lips and teeth. She cried out and he did not let up. He ripped open her silk shirt and jerked her bra off.

“You lied to me about Hinata and now you would try to keep me from you and him again?” he demanded as his thumbs brushed her nipples.

“You made the decision to abandon us!” she growled out.

“You left me first!” he yelled.

“Unhand me Ichigo!” she hissed like a wild animal.

“No Kamis damnit! No!” he snarled out as he forced her lips to his.

He tasted of fury and he tasted of power. She had never seen his reiastu this much and his lips demanded and commanded. She began whimpering as his mouth invaded hers. He was hungry and hurting; he communicated his rage but he fulfilled his need to be with her. She wore a billowing long skirt and he sank to his knees. As he kissed her, he moved aside her panties.

“Oh Kamis.” She moaned out.

He said nothing as her silk skirt covered the point of contact but the pressure was crushing as his reiastu built again. It was pressing in on her and she was clawing through his haori as she could not breathe. He was not trying to hurt her but his pain was that raw. His nose was buried in her juncture and she felt his teeth. He was animal like in his intensity and continued to guide her hard. She was being dragged under and she screamed. He did not stop and his natural powers slammed into hers. She had faced those with almost equal energies but not like this. Not one who could beat her so soundly. She heard his hoarse breathing and she was loosing consciousness slowly. She was in state she had not been in for nearly four centuries. She could not tell if she climaxed as she slowly blacked out. Ichigo was holding her to him tightly as he became suddenly drained of his seed and his reiastu. He sat on his butt and held her to him. Their encounter had been a meshing of power and bodies and he was left almost completely undone.

“Suna?” he whispered.

She was still out and he gently shook her. She stirred slowly and met his brown eyes.

“Let go of me.” She hissed.

“Suna please.” He begged.

“Do not be so informal with me.” She snapped.

“You want to be like this?” he asked.

“I want you to back off!” she sneered.

He refused to let her go and she gasped and had to hold onto him. Her body was hypersensitive and she was being pushed over an edge. She felt his teeth again at her juncture and he bit her hard. There was no pain and only incredible rapture as he leaned her down into the grass. He was slowly moving in her and she felt the incredible power building around them again. His face contorted and he managed to watch her as her body convulsed. Her legs began shaking uncontrollably and she went limp. He muffled his cry by taking her lips and he flooded her completely with his all. He too was shaking like a leaf and managed to fall to his back. She was barely awake and she turned her head.

“Ichigo?” she asked softly.

“Hai.” He stammered.

“Why?” she asked.

“I love you. I can't stop thinking about you and I still want to marry you.” He whispered.

“You walked away.” She whispered back.

“You shut me out. Instead of shutting me out why can't you trust me? Asuna damnit! I fucking love you more than anything. I love our son and you take both of you away on a whim. I'm sick to death of being the dumb kid. I'm gonna prove I'm more than old enough.” He snapped.

“The Shouten nearly destroyed my life and how could you understand that?” she asked in a tired tone.

“Grand Fisher damn near destroyed mine! I know I am haven't lived five centuries but damnit I understand. I'm also gonna rip the Grimmjow fucker to pieces if he ever touches you again. I don't care if we're together or not.” He said rolling away and standing up.

“You have no right to dictate anything to me.” She snapped.

“You defend that animal?” he about became unhinged.

“I do not defend him as much as myself. You do not own me and I will do as I damn well please. You lost any right to have any say when you walked away.” She said coldly.

“You're impossible! It's a wonder any man can put up with you!” he roared.

“Whatever. Sign the damn forms. I am removing myself and my son from your life.” She said crossing her arms.

“No.” he said shunpoing away.

She stared dumbly at the spot he had stood and she was stunned. She was stunned that he could pull such a primal response from her and her yoki. She ported right behind his aura and he grabbed her throat without squeezing. His eyes actually had a glaze of tears and she tried to remain indifferent.

“Fuck you! I ain't giving up my son or her. You can kiss my ass and like it.” He said in a raw voice.

“You will one way or another. I am done trying to coddle you.” She said cruelly.

He slapped her so hard she staggered. He walked away and his shoulders slumped. She wiped her cheek and there was blood. She had lied to him again and she found a small alley between two shops. She cried softly and her senses worn down. She felt the glass go through the right side of her chest and she gasped.

“Pity that this was too easy!” Meihui said in contempt.

“Putrid bitch!” Asuna growled in a fury.

“You know that the dark shinigami would pay me dearly for your capture and drained of your yoki. I think that is what I shall do.” She laughed.

She felt fangs at her throat and she tried to scream. Meihui had known not to attack her directly and had waited till she was vulnerable. She sank to her knees and Meihui viciously pulled back her morphed limb as she drained her aura as well.

“What the fuck?” Asuna heard through the haze.

“Language little boy.” Meihui laughed.

“Let her go you unholy whore!” Ichigo said in anger.

“Watch it strawberry! I swear I will split open her belly and let your daughter spill onto the ground.” The wraith female said in complete cruelty.

“Ichigo.” Asuna muttered.

“Bankai!” Ichigo cried.

Meihui did not take the time to face him and phased out with her mortal enemy. She was at Los Noches and she looked forward to facing the shinigami. She saw a dark skinned shinigami and she slid Asuna along the floor.

“Tell your master I come baring gifts and an alliance.” She laughed.

“Who are you?” Tousen asked.

“I am Meihui Jing and that bitch is my enemy from way back. Tell your master that what I can provide will give him the edge in dealing with the shinigami and youkai alike.” She said with a cruel smirk.

“What do you offer?” Aizen said walking down the hall.

“Rumor is that you covet her oldest daughter. Well she stole my brother Ang Chi and I will finally take him back!” she said narrowing her black eyes.

“There is much to this story that I do not know.” Aizen considered.

“She murdered my mother and my two uncles and stole my brother! That whore deserves death a million times over. The devastation she wrought on the Shouten has taken me centuries to rebuild! I know more Vasto Lordes and I know this plane you reside in for it is my home plane.” She said crossing her arms.

“I accept your alliance. What did you do to her?” he asked with interest.

“I damn near drained her dry. I took in her aura to drain her yoki and now she is pretty damn helpless. For your information; she and the strawberry shinigami have had a falling out. She is pregnant with his daughter as well as having birthed his son.” She said cruelly.

“Well that is very good information indeed. Thank you!” Aizen said with a lazy smile.

Meihui ported away and Aizen knelt by Asuna. He looked over her and she was bleeding out slowly from a wound in her chest. He called on a healer and smiled. His little shape shifter would come after mommy. His day brightened and he anticipated what he would do with his powerful little onna that he desired so badly. She had escaped before he could sate his desire for her. He called upon Grimmjow and directed Ulquiorra to retrieve another powerful tool. The orange haired boy had a red haired onna as a friend whose healing powers rivaled any Kamis. Grimmjow came forward and his eyes widened just a little when he saw the onna he had been cavorting with lying on the floor being tended by none other than Szayel Aporro Granz, the Eighth Espada.

“Have your Fraccion guard her well Grimmjow, you would not wish my displeasure again.” Aizen commanded.

“Hai Aizen-sama.” Grimmjow muttered.

Aizen walked away as well as Tousen. Grimmjow leaned down and stared hatefully at the Eighth Espada.

“It is amazing you still have Fraccion at all considering your state.” Szayel snorted.

“Are you done jackass?” Grimmjow growled.

“Hai. She needs much sleep.” The pink haired Arrancar said standing.

Grimmjow hated the bastard and he looked over at Yylfordt who had followed him. The blonde Arrancar picked her up and followed Grimmjow.

“Your brother needs a swift kick in his ass!” Grimmjow growled.

“I could not agree more.” Yylfordt snorted.

“Take her to my rooms and guard her with your life!” Grimmjow commanded.

“Hai.” His Fraccion stated with a short bow.

Grimmjow was troubled and he was never troubled. He had no clue why he gave one shit about her or not. Seeing her there white as a damn hollow mask and bleeding so bad; he was also pissed that he was not the cause of her bleeding. He stomped after his Fraccion and went to his rooms. She was on his bed and he sat beside her. Yylfordt walked out and shut the door to give his master privacy. She roused for a moment and saw Grimmjow and stared at a white ceiling.

“Where am I?” she said in a harsh whisper.

“Los Noches and my room.” He replied in a clipped tone.

“I am in trouble.” She said softly.

“You've no idea.” He retorted.

She sighed and closed her eyes. She promptly passed back out and Grimmjow was left to ponder.
