Healing Hands and Tomoshibi

 

Nanami ran into the hospital and she was horrified to see her big brother attached to a respirator and IV everywhere. She moved to the locker room quickly and changed into scrubs. She put her hair underneath a scrub cap and ran to the operating room. She began scrubbing her hands and arms. Her father had called to tell her that Rishou's liver was lacerated and they needed her. She was shaking as she scrubbed and she moved into position as a nurse put gloves on her. A sterile robe was tied around her and she stepped in. She was sick to her stomach as she took in the vitals and she called for a scalpel. This was too hard but she had to do it. Nobu was a surgeon as well but it was her that specialized. It was her that did these delicate surgeries like liver repairs and transplants. She worked long and carefully sewed his liver back together and tied off bleeders. It was rather long for such a repair but she managed to get him closed and into recovery. She practically stumbled out of the operating room and she walked out to the assembled family members.

 

“Rishou is off of the respirator now and is in recovery. The surgery went well.” She murmured.

 

“Thank the Kamis.” Naraku said in relief.

 

“He will have a long road Papa N but he will recover.” She said bowing.

 

She moved to Erena and the older kumo onna grabbed her and hugged her tightly. She actually saw the Arrancar that was known as Ulquiorra in the shadows. She moved to him slowly and his face was impassive. She watched his entrancing green eyes as he watched her.

 

“Rishou will live and he will be fine.” She said under her breath.

 

“Satisfactory news.” He replied.

 

“Do you wish to see him?” she asked him softly.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

She touched his cold hand and she motioned for Erena. The kumo princess moved forward and held her hand. She ported them into recovery and Ulquiorra saw Rishou asleep on a gurney and he did not think; he just moved to his lover's side and looked down at him. Erena moved to be next to him as well. Rishou was still asleep and Nanami could see how tense the Arrancar was. To another he would seem very calm but she could see physical signs of stress.

 

“He shall be well. He cannot do too much for at least two weeks but he will heal.” She said softly.

 

“Thank you doctor.” Erena stated with a warm tone.

 

Nanami smiled and her shoulders fell. She was exhausted and she went into the waiting room. She hugged Naraku, Ishin, and Nobu. Her assembled siblings all thanked her and she nodded numbly.

 

“Chichi, I am going to lie down in an on call room before my next shift. Haha will be here in about two hours from Karakura General.” She said yawning.

 

“Hai. Doctor Ishida called me.” He nodded.

 

“Hai.” Nanami stated as she drifted away.

 

She saw Shuhei further down the hall and she was surprised. He was in gigai and he had food. She smiled widely and ventured near him.

 

“Your brother Shinobu said that you had not eaten and I thought perhaps you needed this. I would also like to find out what you know about your brother's attack.” He said in a business like tone.

 

“Thank you very much. The on call room is this way.” She said smiling.

 

He followed her and she went to the on call room. She sat on the bed and he sat across from her and took out the burgers and fries.

 

“Real American junk food! I have not had this stuff since I was in the States.” She laughed.

 

“I admit I have a penchant for it as well. I so rarely come into the living world.” He admitted.

 

“Thank you for this Shuhei. I am actually happy to see you.” She said taking a bite of the burger.

 

She groaned a little and devoured the greasy offering. She sipped the soda as well and Shuhei ate his.

 

“Erena told me that there was an Arrancar named Grimmjow. He is the same one that seems to enjoy fighting my haha. He also seems to hate Ulquiorra and Kurosaki Ichigo.” She said leaning against the wall.

 

“I wonder what his deal is.” Shuhei stated.

 

“Likes blood and spilling guts, who knows.” She said sighing.

 

“You go ahead and rest. Do you want me to go?” he asked straightening his back.

 

“No. Lay down with me if you want.” She said smiling.

 

“Sure.” He said throwing away the food wrappers.

 

She lay down on her side and he scooted next to her and she fell into a blissful sleep. She adored him already and that frightened her. She also thought of the Ishida family and she made herself stop thinking.

Rishou woke up and he was in severe pain. Erena was there and she took his hand. He turned and actually saw Ulquiorra in the shadows of the hospital room.

 

“Your liver was lacerated my love. Your sister managed to repair it but she did state that you would need to stay abed for at least two weeks.” Erena said gently.

 

“Hai. Are you two okay?” he asked hoarsely.

 

“I am well and so is the babe.” Erena stated.

 

Ulquiorra said nothing and Erena stood; she kissed Rishou's forehead and left the room for a little bit. The raven haired Arrancar moved forward and reached for him.

 

“You will live.” He stated in his toneless voice.

 

“You cannot get rid of me that easily.” Rishou teased.

 

“Do not joke as such.” Ulquiorra commanded.

 

“I realize that you have always been older then me Ulquiorra but please do not treat me like a child.” Rishou groused.

 

Ulquiorra leaned over and pressed his lips to Rishou's and the younger male held onto him until he surrendered. Rishou winced and Ulquiorra pulled back. His green eyes betrayed nothing and Rishou looked annoyed. He crossed his arms as he watched the Arrancar.

 

“What displeases you?” Ulquiorra asked.

 

“I watch you watch Erena and there is a simmering passion and you look at me as if I am as interesting as a bug.” Rishou snapped.

 

“There are pretenses in this place. I cannot allow myself to completely show too much.” Ulquiorra answered honestly but without emotion.

 

“Tell me!” Rishou demanded.

 

“You need to hear it?” he asked dispassionately.

 

“Hai. I need to hear it.” Rishou snapped again.

 

“Why?” Ulquiorra asked stubbornly.

 

“Because! You came after me in this life and I surrendered to you. You could do the same with me. My sire is ten feet away and I feel no shame in my feelings for you. I can say that I love you with my whole being.” Rishou growled.

 

“Rishou words are a waste of time. I am still here as my life is in danger in doing so.” Ulquiorra stated without blinking.

 

“In danger?” he asked with widened eyes.

 

“Hai. I love you. I came for you because your soul called to mine. There was no ignoring the pull.” He stated in a low tone.

 

“You should return then.” Rishou stated looking away.

 

“There must be assurances of your health before I return.” He replied.

 

“I am going to be fine now.” Rishou mumbled.

 

Ulquiorra decided to reassure the younger man and he again leaned over him and pressed his cool lips to his ear. He felt him shudder in anticipation and his body wound tightly. Rishou turned his head a little and there was definite passion reflected in the Arrancar's eerie green eyes.

 

“I want you to be well.” Ulquiorra said under his breath.

 

“Hai.” Rishou said breathing harder.

 

“I would not live without you and Erena. I will sacrifice myself for you both and our son.” He said.

 

“I know. You should go. Kick that blue haired nut job's ass for us. I detest that you have to leave. It tears me up.” Rishou said sighing.

 

“I do not like leaving.” He admitted.

 

“Okay then.” The shape shifter stated in a despondent tone.

 

His mate suddenly and with repressed feeling took his lips and dominated the intimacy. Rishou was fighting his hormones and held him tightly. He quit feeling dirty and had accepted his feelings and needs. He needed him as much as he needed his kumo beauty. Ulquiorra pulled back and his face held need but he nodded. He needed to find Erena because at that moment, he was in a state. He put his hands into his pockets and waited. Erena did show up and she smiled at them both.

 

“You two all right?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” Rishou stated.

 

“I shall return in a couple of hours Rish. Your father wants to sit in here for awhile and your mother is here with your newborn sisters.” Erena said taking his hands.

 

“Wonderful!” he cried.

 

“I will return.” Ulquiorra said softly.

 

Rishou nodded and watched as Erena took the Arrancar's cool hand and ported them away. They reappeared in the apartment that Erena and Rishou shared. Ulquiorra grabbed her to him and ripped open her pale blue button down.

 

“Are you alright?” she asked.

 

“Need to feel.” He murmured.

 

He picked her up and laid her on the couch. His cool lips found her throat and kissed along her sternum and he actually noticed her scent. Memories assaulted him of what it meant and he groaned a little. She looked down at his eyes and they were clouded over in wanton passion. He wrapped his lips around a nipple and she hissed in pleasure. He watched her as he tongued the peak and suckled her in a needy way. She caught the look in his eyes and it smacked of his former life. He was no longer kumo but he was certainly like one at the moment. Erena felt his fingers working her wrist and her venom appeared at the tips of her claws. She looked confused and he coated his fingers and he then slipped the fingers into her. A sharp cry escaped her lips as the incredible sensations throbbed within her. He went back to lazily suckling one of her caramel tips and she gasped.

 

“Ulquiorra!” she moaned out.

 

He nibbled the pebbled flesh and watched her again. She arched against him and he was truly in a state of need. The fear that had gripped him as Grimmjow had damn near beat his other mate to death made him sick. Erena was succumbing and he slid down her body and tasted her release. Her mind was wrapped up in the feel as he slid up her body. She pushed him back and he looked starved. He landed on his back and her mouth wrapped around him. He hissed at the sensation and he released a moan that sounded almost like pain. He was suddenly straining as she took all of him down her throat.

 

“More.” He begged.

 

She took his testes into her hand and firmly massaged them, Ulquiorra was sure that this was it. The feeling was acute that he felt like he was going to burst. She stopped right before the shattering began.

 

“Erena!” he growled out.

 

“Tell me what you want.” She murmured.

 

He hauled her over and laid her on her side. He eased into her core and he began shaking hard as her walls clutched him. He was feeling so much as the moment and he began moving in her hard. He slipped his fingers through her curls and massaged her button of nerves as he thrust. Pure bliss erupted in them both and Erena groaned loudly as they were shaken to their foundations. Ulquiorra was caught up in the whirlwind as he took his onna mate. He realized he would die for her and Rishou in a heart beat. His skin was scorching as their heat culminated. Ulquiorra was breathless as she reached her end and the crushing pressure combined with pleasure stole through him and he groaned as he too became overwhelmed in the fold.

 

“I love you my hime.” He whispered with an impassioned tone so very unlike himself.

 

Erena realized he had spoken as if Ataru and she shook against him. They held the other and he fell asleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna had seen Rishou and the girls were sleeping. Ichigo was passed out on a fold out couch and she was angry. She was thoroughly angry and she was going to hurt Grimmjow. Mingli walked in slowly but the only thing she did not see was his tail. He winked at her and he looked down at his cub. He gently picked her up and Asuna smiled at him. Ichigo woke up a moment and looked around.

 

“Oh it's a tiger. Okay, I'm going back to sleep.” Her ningen love mumbled incoherently.

 

Mingli moved to the hall and he was holding her so that he could see her clearly. His face showed his feelings and he looked up at her with emotional eyes.

 

“She looks like us both.” He said softly.

 

“Mingli.” Asuna whispered.

 

“I shall control myself within these walls my dear Princess. I wish to take her home so that she can meet my side. May I soon?” he asked.

 

“She is your daughter Li.” She said softly.

 

Asuna stiffened and she knew without a doubt that Grimmjow was near. Ichigo popped up as well when he felt the reiastu. She looked over at him and nodded no.

 

“Fuck that! He tore up your son!” Ichigo growled.

 

“Stay with Masaki. Li, this is Ichigo. Ichigo this is Lord Mingli. Li take her to your home.” She commanded.

 

“Why?” he asked concerned.

 

“Do as I ask please?” she begged.

 

“What has you spooked?” Li demanded.

 

Ichigo's brow was raised and she ported out. She found the Arrancar hovering over the city. She glared at him and him at her. She ported fast and appeared behind him and then ported to her Tokyo apartment. She shoved him away and her chest heaved.

 

“You attack Ulquiorra and you hurt my son! Rishou is my son!” she screamed.

 

“You will not stop me!” he growled in anger.

 

“Why do you insist on hurting those I love?” she yelled at him.

 

“Why should that emotionless fucker have anything?” he said sneering.

 

“What is it you want you Grimmjow?” she asked in fury.

 

“Shit! I don't know!” he snarled.

 

The blue haired Arrancar wanted to strike the bane of his existence and he neared her. He did slap her rather hard and she snarled in response. Onna were not supposed to be this Kamis damn strong or powerful. She tasted so fucking good and when he was in her; he was lost and he felt. He saw blood trickle from the corner of her mouth and she struck him back just as forcefully. He jerked her forward and licked at the crimson drops. He would break her he decided and he would tear her apart if need be. His wrapped his hand in her silk yukata and tore the expensive fabric. She was growling like the animal she was in part and tore at him. They fell to the floor and they were tearing at the other like beasts.

 

“You goddamn arrogant pestilence!” she screamed at him.

 

“What does that make you, your fucking majesty?” he asked in contempt.

 

“Get off of me!” she fumed.

 

“Not until I break your fucking pretty face and make you bleed like a fucking spigot!” he said in hatred.

 

He shoved her thighs apart and shoved into her hard. She hissed in pain and pleasure did steal through her. She arched for him and his facial expressions went from fury and hatred to intense need and hunger. Asuna was gripped in the rawness of the brutal and beastly nature of the joining. They were rasping and her claws sank into his steel like skin. He did not register it and he felt her. He could not remember wanting anything like this as a hollow or now as an Arrancar. His head fell to her shoulder as she screamed in rapture.

 

“Oh my fucking Kamis.” He groaned as he came harder then he could ever remember.

 

Asuna was in shock at herself and she would be a mess. She had just given birth. Rishou had been beaten nearly to death by the male inside of her, and she had allowed him to take her as if he had some manner or right to. As pained as she was, he still felt so good. His mouth sought hers and she groaned as he managed to do wicked things with it. He explored her and tasted every bit he could. He pulled back and fell to his back. She stared straight up and could not believe what had happened.

 

“Do not ever involve my family in your fights again.” She threatened.

 

“Humph.” He growled out.

 

She was bleeding a little and she felt gross. She rolled to her side and sat up. She stood and made her way to the bathroom. She turned and he was behind her. Grimmjow put his hands on her shoulders and he was overcome again.

 

“What's this mess I feel?” he demanded.

 

“Does it matter?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” He growled.

 

“When I sense your feelings; I feel what love is supposed to feel like. You on the other hand turn it into a convoluted and huge mess. You have no business feeling this way.” She said in anger.

 

“Who're you to tell me what I think or feel?” he asked gripping her shoulders tighter.

 

“I am stretched too thin as it is. I do not need to fear for you and fall apart when death will befall you.” She said with a sneer.

 

“You like me too.” He growled.

 

“I mean it Grimmjow! Do not touch another pup of mine ever in violence!” she hissed out.

 

“Admit it!” he said shaking her.

 

“Why does it matter?” she asked in fury.

 

“I want to hear the shit straight from your lips.” He said right into her ear.

 

“Rot in hell you arrogant fuck!” she cursed.

 

He shoved her against the wall and his hands were on her hips. His mind was clouded over and he wanted, no needed to hear the emotion from her. He was not Ulquiorra and he liked to feel.

 

“Promise me to never harm my family or loved ones again.” She stated in a low tone.

 

“Hai.” He said breathing in her scent.

 

“I care for you hai.” She admitted.

 

“Such nice and pretty words, you feel more!” he growled.

 

“Bastard! Alright Kamis damn you! I love your stubborn and arrogant ass. I can also do without the feelings!” she yelled.

 

“What do I do now?” he demanded.

 

“Nothing!” she growled.

 

“I want to see the baby neko.” He stated huskily in her ear.

 

“Her name is Chiyo and she is with her sire!” she snapped.

 

“So?” he growled.

 

“Mingli is a Bengal tiger.” She said as he clutched her.

 

“I want to see her.” He said again.

 

“Grimmjow, what are you doing?” she asked choked.

 

“More.” He murmured in her ear.

 

She gasped softly as his fingers fondled her sex. She leaned her head back and groaned louder. He hungrily took her lips and continued to make her feel. Her cries were muffled and he gave her another release. Nobu would have a fit if he found out but she would never say a word. Grimmjow looked down and his hand had some blood on it.

 

“Why are you bleeding?” he demanded.

 

“I just had babes idiot.” She snapped.

 

“Why aren't you healed yet?” he demanded again.

 

“Probably because we just rutted and I should not have and it takes a youkai onna a couple of weeks.” She said rolling her eyes.

 

“Get yourself fixed.” He demanded.

 

“You are a moron. It takes time. You need to go back to Hueco Mundo.” She stated.

 

“Not till I see the baby neko.” He grumbled.

 

“Damnit Grimmjow you need to go! They felt you! Ichigo felt you and so did Mingli.” She said growling.

 

“You think I am afraid of your brat and one tiger?” he asked as his hands roamed her body.

 

“Leave! I will allow you to see her soon okay?” she asked.

 

“I want her.” He said gritting her teeth.

 

“Why? She is youkai and you are Arrancar.” She stated.

 

“You are youkai. I've no fucking clue why I want her but I do. I feel strongly about her.” He growled.

 

“You are an idiot.” She said helplessly.

 

“Yeah? Well I love you. Go choke on it.” He said backing up.

 

Asuna felt a presence and she masked Grimmjow. She ran and picked up her yukata and she knew Mingli was near. Grimmjow felt the presence as well.

 

“Go!” she hissed.

 

“No fucking way!” he said smirking.

 

He was near and she dressed quickly. She completely masked herself and she ran to the window. She saw Li and he was on the side walk. He looked up and he scowled. Asuna turned and Grimmjow was not there.

 

“Damnit!” she hissed.

 

She ported to the alley and stepped out. She saw Li and he came to her. He was wearing modern clothes of jeans and a white button down shirt. His reddish brown hair was pulled back at the nape of his neck. His bright blue eyes stared at her. He was angry but it was not at her. They both looked up and saw Grimmjow in the air. Only supernatural beings would see him and he beckoned Li with a middle finger. The blue haired Arrancar smirked and used his sonido.

 

“Is he challenging me? Did I scent another big cat?” Li said staring at her.

 

“He is some manner of big neko hai.” She said looking away.

 

“Where would he go Asuna?” he demanded.

 

“Li no!” she growled.

 

“How dare he challenge me! What reason would he have to challenge me?” he demanded.

 

“He is another male neko! Did you and Quon not have pissing contests?” she asked.

 

“Oh that was different. I was in love you.” Li said crossing his arms.

 

His eyes widened and he scowled. He stormed past her and she tried to stop him.

 

“Where is he?” Li asked calmly.

 

“I really do not know.” Asuna said honestly.

 

“You looking for me tigger?” Grimmjow asked from behind him.

 

“Who are you to challenge a tiger lord?” Li asked raising a reddish brow.

 

“Whoever the fuck I want to be!” Grimmjow growled.

 

“Not here Grimmjow!” Asuna said narrowing her eyes.

 

“No one else can see me inu.” Grimmjow said pulling his zanpakuto.

 

“Grimmjow no!” Asuna said extending her hand.

 

“What the hell is going on?” Li asked.

 

“Grind.” The Arrancar stated as his hand went over his weapon.

 

Li watched as the creature changed form and he took on a more feline like appearance. He knew from the Japanese legends that hollows were spirit beings and he was in total disbelief. This one it seemed was infatuated with the nu zi he adored.

 

“Hey shit face!” Ichigo said floating in the air.

 

“What the hell is going on?” Li growled to Asuna.

 

“Ichigo is a shinigami. Grimmjow is an Arrancar and they need not do this in front of ningen!” she growled.

 

“Yo sensei! Masaki and Chiyo are good.” Ichigo stated glaring at Grimmjow.

 

“So you came for some ass kicking shinigami.” Grimmjow laughed manically.

 

“Bankai!” Ichigo growled out.

 

“Move!” Asuna yelled as she pushed Li out of the way.

 

Ichigo and Grimmjow began ripping at the other and Li watched in apparent shock and appreciation. Asuna was fuming and he looked over at her.

 

“What does the Arrancar want Princess?” he asked.

 

“Chiyo.” She said under her breath.

 

“Pardon?” Li asked in absolute anger.

 

“Hai. He was my keeper in Hueco Mundo. He could feel her feline nature.” She explained.

 

“So he thinks my cub is going to be his to raise?” Li asked in a low growl.

 

“I think.” She sighed.

 

Asuna looked up and she saw Ichigo plummeting to the ground. She caught him with her will and threw him onto an awning and he looked grateful. Grimmjow was bleeding from a wound in his head and he looked down at Asuna. He had promised her and he wanted to pummel the brat but he refrained. He used his cero and blew up the corner of a building near Mingli and he growled low. Lord Mingli knew exactly what the feline Arrancar had said. He was furious and when he looked up the bastard was gone. Ichigo got down and Asuna dragged Li and Ichigo to her and ported when they entered the alley.

 

“Ichigo could you have not done that later?” she admonished her mate.

 

“That bastard came here!” Ichigo hissed.

 

“I agree with the shinigami.” Li stated in his beautiful voice.

 

“What did he say Li?” she demanded.

 

“I believe he spoke to me. I will be taking my daughter to Tibet when she is released from the hospital.” He snapped.

 

“Li please do not be paranoid!” Asuna growled.

 

“He said he would take all that I held dear. He said I did not deserve my girl. This goes beyond a challenge Asuna!” Mingli said in fury.

 

“He is just playing you Li. He likes to taunt and find strong opponents.” She said glaring.

 

“I will be at the hospital. It has been my pleasure Kurosaki Ichigo to meet you. I am sure I will know you better.” Li said bowing.

 

Mingli ported out and Ichigo stared at his love. He wasn't stupid and he knew that the Arrancar lusted after Asuna. He had no real clue as to how deep it went and he frankly did not care.

 

“I've got to get Orihime out of there.” He said forcefully.

 

“Do as you need Ichigo.” She sighed.

 

“What the fuck does he want?” Ichigo asked in anger.

 

“How in the hell should I know Ichigo?” she asked exasperated.

 

“I hate this. I'll be with Masaki.” He stated as he went to move away.

 

She took his hand and ported them both back to the hospital and she sighed. Li was there holding Chiyo as he rocked her in a Western style rocking chair. Ichigo bowed and picked up Misaki. They both were not speaking to her and she sighed.

 

“You two are going to be friends.” She snapped and left the room.

 

She was shaking in anger and she went to see Rishou. He was awake and he smiled at his mother. She sighed and sat by him. She took his and laid her head in his lap.

 

“Haha?” he asked concerned.

 

“Life was simpler in the Feudal Era.” She sighed.

 

“Was it? I would not know haha.” He said gently.

 

“Hai. I could use my fang openly and these things would not be so difficult.” She stated.

 

“Haha, no offense but nothing you are involved with is simple. You are one of the most extraordinary onna in history.” Rishou said smiling.

 

“Oh my boy if you only knew.” She laughed.

 

“You and I have always been close haha. You have been one of my best friends.” He said as sleep overcame him.

 

“You mates love you.” She remarked.

 

“I love them too. I love them both very much.” He murmured.

 

“Then we need to figure a way to get this Ulquiorra out.” She said gently.

 

“Hai. He says you threw him awfully hard against a pillar in that awful place.” Rishou chuckled.

 

“I only knocked him out!” she groused.

 

“He was fine with it haha.” He laughed.

 

“Rest. I fear things are on the horizon.” She said sighing.

 

“Hai.” He stated.

 

She stood and moved to the window and looked out over the city. Why she felt such apprehension she had no idea but there it was.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was uneasy and she too felt major apprehension. Mizuki had turned out just like her mother and she understood how her mother felt. She would not give up Tesla, Byakuya, or Karu. She had begun avoiding Kazuo and he was pissed off at her. She was overwhelmed in the knowledge that her childhood had crept up on her and she was trying hard to hold her sanity together. She was having dreams and several times she was in bed when one of her three beloved mates asked her what she was dreaming of. The name Isolde kept reappearing in her head and she was shaking. She ported to Los Angeles and Kaz's office.

 

“Oh what do you want?” he demanded.

 

“It was forbidden then too.” She said choking.

 

“What?” he asked looking up.

 

“It was so long ago. It was right after the Roman Empire fell. I was married Kaz. We should not have but we did.” She said shaking hard.

 

“You remember?” he asked standing.

 

“Hai.” She said stammering.

 

“This is why you have been avoiding me? You remember now?” he asked in a hoarse whisper.

 

“You were killed by damn poison!” she screamed.

 

“Hai. I know Zuki. I know all this but that was another lifetime.” He said holding her close.

 

“We still cannot get over the fact that this still forbidden!” she said hitting his chest.

 

“I remember when you were born. I remember seeing you and knowing. I saw you and I felt such peace!” he said holding her tightly.

 

“Tristan.” She whispered.

 

“Isolde.” He murmured in return.

 

She cried into his chest and he did not let her go. She wiped her face and stared at the city.

 

“I have to get back to Japan. I wanted you to know that I now knew.” She said hiccupping softly.

 

“I have to see you.” He whispered.

 

“Hai. Kyoto.” She mumbled.

 

She ported away and she was in Soul Society. She slid down a wall in the Kuchiki Mansion and felt herself falling to pieces. She sobbed as she fully remembered her tragic love affair. She had sworn over his dead body that she would have revenge. She felt Byakuya and he knelt by her and she stared up into his concerned face.

 

“So tired Byakuya. I want peace! I am so tired!” she cried.

 

“What is wrong?” he asked pulled her into his lap.

 

“Something is going down and I feel it. I also remembered a past life. I am wondering if I am my mother.” She said burying her nose into his neck.

 

“Lives are connected always. Where great tragedies have occurred then there seems to be a tendency for rebirth. Since youkai do not age like mortals then most of their deaths have been violent and horrendous.” He said in her ear.

 

“Thus the chance for hollows and reincarnation.” She murmured.

 

“Hai. What do you remember?” he asked brushing her hair back.

 

“It is no matter. How are you my beloved husband?” she asked holding his face.

 

“I am well and happy that you are here.” He said.

 

“I am glad that I am here as well.” She stated as she stood.

 

She moved with him and she felt Karu's daughter move within her. She felt calmer and she ended up staying in the Seireitei for a couple of days. She ended up in Tokyo and the office as she was reviewing quarterly reports and she stretched and stood up. She put her jacket and walked down the hall to her sister's office and poked her head in.

 

“Hey, I am done for the night. See you tomorrow.” Mizuki said.

 

“Sure thing sis.” Ayana said as she covered the receiver of her phone.

 

“Singing her to sleep again?” Mizuki asked wistfully.

 

“Hai.” Ayana smiled.

 

“Bye.” She said smiling.

 

Mizuki decided to walk home and she took the elevator to the ground floor and started walking the few blocks to her home. She turned and her nightmare stood behind her. She stepped back and glared at him.

 

“Did you think I had forgotten you?” Aizen asked.

 

“Hai.” She said stepping back again.

 

He was immediately behind her and she tried to run. He pressed her up against a window and stared at her in the eyes.

 

“Shall I be the one to come here from now on?” he purred in her ear.

 

“Leave me alone Aizen!” She hissed.

 

“Sosuke.” He commanded.

 

“No!” she growled.

 

“I do not want to hurt you.” He said softly as he lightly gripped her chin.

 

“Why should I call you anything?” she demanded.

 

“Sosuke.” He said as he ghosted his lips over hers.

 

“Why will you not leave me alone?” she asked.

 

“Because I want you.” He stated.

 

“You want to destroy me!” she snapped.

 

“No Mizuki I do not.” He whispered.

 

“Leave me alone Sosuke.” She whispered.

 

“You feel guilty because you enjoyed me.” He said wisely.

 

“Hai! I hate you!” she growled.

 

“You do not. You want to hate because you have been told to hate me.” He cooed.

 

“Why are you doing this?” she asked staring into his brown eyes.

 

“Because I have never met an onna who compared and was my equal.” He stated as he leaned against her.

 

“I have a life here and you wish to end my life.” She said in anger.

 

“Have you not been listening onna?” he murmured softly against the flesh of her throat.

 

“I have seen your actions and your treatment of others! What makes you even remotely think that I could allow you to use me as such? You allowed Tousen to harm me!” she growled.

 

“That was quite unfortunate. Kaname feels you are distracting me.” He said tasting her lips.

 

“Not here! I look like a lunatic talking to myself!” she snapped.

 

“Where then Lady Mizuki?” he asked.

 

She ported them to her office of all places. Most would be gone and he looked around with polite interest. She stared at him and wished like hell she could contact someone.

 

“Interesting choice Mizuki.” He stated.

 

“Well I do not look like a fool talking now.” She said defensively.

 

“You look well.” He stated with his polite tone.

 

“How could you let Tousen hurt me like that?” she asked in anger.

 

“I allowed nothing. He did that of his own accord and he now knows how displeased I was.” He said smoothly.

 

“He caused me to miscarry!” she growled.

 

“Again that is unfortunate.” He said.

 

“Between him and Ichimaru I have lost two. You tell yourself how unfortunate it was when Tousen killed your son!” she screamed.

 

Aizen stared at her and there was no deceit in her tone. Her words fully registered and he grew suddenly angry. This was something he had wished for as a child would be powerful. She sat down in her leather chair and stared at him in absolute hatred.

 

“You allow your little shinigami minions too much leeway and they took from you. Well I will not allow myself to be used by you anymore.” She growled.

 

“Yet you still carry!” he said narrowing his eyes.

 

“Screw you!” she growled louder.

 

“So how did you manage?” he asked in a low tone.

 

“None of your concern.” She said in growing fury.

 

He rounded the desk and pinned her to the chair. She stared up into his beautiful face and anger gripped her. Tears fell from her eyes and his face softened.

 

“You are affected.” He said softly.

 

“He was mine!” she screamed at him and shoved him back.

 

He watched her stand and she began prowling the office like a caged animal. He waited patiently as her eyes took on a reddish hue.

 

“You may have sired him but he was mine. How dare one of your underlings kill what was mine.” She growled.

 

“This one is?” he questioned.

 

“Kumo.” She said bluntly.

 

“I see. I shall deal with Kaname.” He said in a gentle tone.

 

“DO NOT supplicate me you evil son of bitch!” she growled.

 

“Why am I evil?” he asked coming around.

 

Aizen pinned her to the wall and he was going mad with desire. He saw desire in hers as well and he kissed her. She responded and he was surprised by it. He picked her up and laid her down on her desk. He knew her well enough and hiked her skirt up. He was right and she wore only her garter to keep her stockings up. He arranged them and he sank into her depths. She arched her back and the sight captivated him.

 

“Why do you allow this?” he asked passionately.

 

“You will hurt me if I do not.” She murmured.

 

“I have said I will not hurt you further.” He said in an angry way.

 

“I do not believe you!” she gasped.

 

He gave up the conversation for the moment and took what he had been wanting for awhile. She was sighing and gasping for him and he took one of her hands in his and released his reiastu. Her face showed rapture but her body had yet to follow. She yanked on his reiastu of her own free will and flooded their connection with her own natural energies. She had to tell herself the truth and she enjoyed his physical self. She loved how he was completely intent upon her satisfaction in the mere act itself. She cried out for him and began shaking as her body succumbed. She closed her eyes and she felt his lips on her breasts and then her lips. He ripped his lips from hers and breathed in deeply.

 

“I want to take you away from here.” He said feverishly.

 

“No!” she growled.

 

“You are too good for this mundane existence.” He said pulling her up a bit.

 

“You have no right to make any decisions or ask anything of me!” she stated in anger.

 

“I shall get you to see my way.” He said pressing his forehead to hers.

 

“Byakuya will kick your ass before you could.” She said narrowing her eyes.

 

“As if Kuchiki could best me. You go on and believe your delusions.” He said laying her back and pulling away from her.

 

“Who is the delusional one?” she retorted.

 

“Not me.” He smirked.

 

“Right.” She said straightening her skirt.

 

There was nothing else to say and he was fuming terribly within his own mind. She looked stunning and he was furious that it should have been the kumo's babe that survived and not his own. He moved away and produced a garganta. His mind played over many scenario's in his mind about how to turn her. He would never deign to admit anything other then that she belonged by his side. Kamis were above such petty emotions such as love.

Asuna was sitting in the window seat of her beach home holding Masaki as she fed. Li was walking the beach with Chiyo and she had watched the good natured Bengal turn into a silly mess. He was destined to be a great chichi and she closed her eyes. Ichigo actually like Mingli a lot and they would spar each other as the girls slept. Ichigo was still in school and Li took the opportunity to ravish her then. Ichigo had no jealousy of the tiger at all and she wondered at it. Mingli had gotten Ichigo quite drunk the night before and the poor boy had to go to school feeling quite bad.

 

“I want to see the girl.” She heard behind her.

 

“You are rude to just show up here Grimmjow.” Asuna growled.

 

“You think I fucking care?” he demanded.

 

“Why do you wish to see my daughter?” Asuna said turning.

 

“Because I do!” he snarled.

 

Masaki began whimpering and Asuna shushed her. He stared at the red haired hanyou and saw soft brown eyes. He wanted to sucker punch the little fucker Ichigo and rip him apart. Asuna arranged his arms and she laid Masaki in them. Grimmjow watched the tiny being jerk and stare at him wide eyed.

 

“So helpless.” He muttered.

 

“Hai.” She said softly.

 

“She looks like you.” He snapped.

 

“Is that bad?” Asuna asked raising a brow.

 

“Better you then that stupid shinigami.” He said almost captivated.

 

“May I have her back now?” she asked testily.

 

“Take her. I want to see the neko girl.” He demanded.

 

“Were you a big cat when you lived before as a hollow?” she asked softly.

 

“Like I'm supposed to remember?” he snapped.

 

“Some do. You were someone once before this Grimmjow. It still boggles my mind how Hollows can become sentient and original personalities from their previous existence.” She murmured.

 

He shrugged and stared at her. He really was quite striking and had so much suppressed energy. She knew she had never known him before but she was sure he had been a powerful youkai in his previous incarnation. He looked at her and put a hand on her shoulder. He cupped her chin and leaned forward to possess her completely. She whimpered softly as he did not let up. He finally stepped back and smirked almost evilly.

 

“See you soon bitch!” he snickered.

 

Before she could say anything, he was gone. She marveled at his audacity in everything and realized her life was a mess again. She realized she would defend him as ruthlessly as she had Naraku in the past. Thoughts of her dark mate made a tingle go down a spine. Asuna pressed her head to the wall and sighed heavily. She had gotten absolutely no where from four centuries ago. She heard Li come in and lifted her head and smiled at him. He brought her Chiyo and he smiled down at Masaki. Things were too complicated as several of the Arrancar were involving themselves in her family's lives. Loyalties would be divided and revenge would be had.

She stood before Kaimei and the others and stared at them defiantly. The elder Tomoshibi was staring at his niece and he was furious.

 

“You have done nothing but willfully break every rule that has been put in place! How many have you restored?” Kaimei hissed.

 

“None of your damn business Uncle Kaimei. What I have done has been in the best interest of my family which you would have gleefully destroyed!” Hikari growled.

 

“So much like your arrogant whore of a mother!” he growled in fury.

 

“If I am to be punished then let the king pass judgment and not you.” She snapped.

 

“I am an Elder! How dare you!” he said stepping down and looked ready to strike.

 

“What? You think Kai and Kanami will not back me up?” she said snorting.

 

Her siblings were young in comparison to her and they were unknown to their other siblings. They were pure wraiths having been born in Soul Society. Hikari was unique in that she could hold her corporeal form longer then her siblings. They were terrified since their sire had been banished. Hikari would not stop until her beloved chichi was restored. She had done many, many restorations. She was more powerful then even her father and her yoki was restored much faster.

 

“You go too far girl! You are a spoiled brat who was indulged since the day of your wretched birth!” He hissed.

 

“Fuck you! I will do as I want till the King himself commands me to stop.” She said disappearing.

 

She walked along Soratokai; the city that paralleled the Seireitei in Soul Society. Her face was wrathful and she knew something that would piss off Kaimei to the max. She faded out until she appeared in a shrouded land. Souls that were supposed to be reborn were in this area and she smirked. The King of Soul Society was probably too damn self involved to care about one lone Tomoshibi so she just snuck into the sacred area. She imagined that her own mother's soul had dwelt here at one time. She contemplated imploring Hana in returning as well. Her smiled widened and she knelt by a shrine.

 

“Oh revered one. If I return you then it will throw everything into chaos in the Soratokai. It will also probably make my mother upset but it cannot be helped. You were never supposed to die in the first place.” She said reading the kanji and hiragana.

 

She willed every bit of power she had into bringing soul and body back together. She had told Kai to be there already and her poor brother was freaking out. She prayed it was for naught. She would need a couple of weeks to recover from this.

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

The young wraith was waiting within the ether and he was scared. His older sister was playing a dangerous game in a bid to have their father restored. He missed his mother immensely but he was glad she had been restored. He looked down at the body of a very distinguished normal youkai and ported to Tokyo. He was nervous as hell and he heard shouting. He kneeled down and took the great one's hand.

 

“You will be well.” He murmured softly.

 

“Who the hell are you?” Shinobu asked the silver haired young wraith.

 

He looked up with startling green eyes and Shinobu knew this was a relative of his.

 

“There is no time and I am not strong like Hikari. I mean no harm but this man needs attention.” Kai said quickly.

 

“Hikari? My sister?” Shinobu asked shocked as he yelled for a team.

 

“She is my sister as well. I am Kai brother. I shall hope to see you again.” He said fading away.

 

Shinobu was stunned to his core. He had been staring at a Tomoshibi and this male was an inu; he had no idea who the male inu was. They lifted the raven haired man up and he was brought to the emergency department. He had no idea what was going on and he called on his sister to assist in surgery. He figured they would know soon enough.
