In the Steppes Where the Shadows Dwell

 

Hanaj was witnessing everything and he would be damned if the inu-uppyr woman he wanted so badly would die due to damn seizures. He waited until the spider shooed everyone away and she was alone. He became solid and he neared her. He had to take her away from here but that is what it would take. He touched her hands and he produced his icy mist. He would take her to the physical plane in his homeland. He appeared in the palace in the wilds of Kazakhstan and laid her on his bed. He sighed deeply and knew what he had to do. He cut his own neck with his claws and hauled her up to the wound. He ended up having to arrange her and Hanaj held her in place. He gasped out when he felt the fangs pierce his skin. She was going on instinct he realized and she drank deeply from him.

 

“Make it hurt. Please by the Gods make it hurt.” He rasped out in sudden unbearable need.

 

He heard her make a gurgling sound and he knew her beast was in control. He had been alive for nearly three millennium and his blood would be like a powerful draught to her. He groaned hard as she refused to let go of his throat.

 

“Lady Asuna! I only meant to help you!” he hissed out as his own needs began to rear their head.

 

She suddenly pulled back and her eyes were completely red. He saw recognition on her face of who he was and she cocked her head to the side.

 

“How did you stop the seizures?” she asked in a gravelly tone.

 

“My blood and toxins are far more powerful then most daemons.” He whispered as he closed his eyes.

 

“So you had me take in your blood to counteract the neko toxin.” Asuna murmured.

 

“Yes.” He replied.

 

“Thank you.” She murmured.

 

He tried to stand and she pulled him back down. He opened his silver eyes and she was staring at him. He was agitated and in desperate need at the moment. She laid herself down and opened her silk shirt. She ran a claw down her sternum and he met her reddened eyes.

 

“You are hungry. You should feed.” She said in a hoarse tone.

 

“I want more then your blood at the moment.” He said fighting his hormones.

 

“Then at this moment you should give into your needs.” She whispered.

 

He leaned down and ran his tongue along the beaded up blood. He groaned loudly and suddenly began laving his tongue along the wound. Her breath caught and she did not care what or who Hanaj was. She held the back of his head and groaned along with him. He finally lifted his head and met her eyes.

 

“Lady Asuna.” He murmured.

 

She pulled him down to her lips and he snarled as he took them. She was not fighting anything and in fact she was wildly kissing him and clutching at him. He ended up pressing his body against hers. He managed to pull back and he stared at her face.

 

“This must not continue.” He murmured.

 

“Why?” she demanded.

 

“You have made your desires clear before. I am not a beast and I most certainly am not a Jing.” He said fighting his wants.

 

She ripped open his old style pein-fu and he stared at her surprised. She leaned up a little and took a flat nub into her mouth. Hanaj knew he was doomed; he released a strangled moan as she tongued and bit at the nub.

 

“Oh Gods!” he hissed out.

 

She looked up at him and watched him. His chest heaved a little and she pulled away from his pectoral muscles. She sat up on her knees and met him eye level.

 

“Lord Hanaj…” she began.

 

He moaned softly and sought her mouth again. Her breasts were bare and his fingers undid the silk of her pajama pants. His mind was clouded over and he pulled her bottoms down and she suddenly was hungry. She ripped open his expensive black jerkin and found his arousal. Asuna scrambled into his lap and his eyes widened. She watched his strange colored eyes raptly as she guided him into herself. His beautiful face suddenly contorted as near tremors wracked his physical body.

 

“How does this feel Lord Hanaj?” she asked in his ear.

 

“I cannot express.” He said with a shuddered breath.

 

“You should truly always know your own yoki and how your body reacts.” She said in a gentle tone.

 

“What are you doing?” he asked choking suddenly.

 

“You should not have wanted me Hanaj.” She said in his ear as she began moving her hips.

 

One hand guided her back and one was on her hip as their movements were slow and erotic. His nerves were on overload and she delved deeply into his mind. She kept him at bay; Hanaj had never had an encounter that brought out his natural and latent abilities so much. She ended up wrapping her arms around him as she attacked his lips anew. The Shouten prince could swear he was in heaven at the moment. He knew why his brothers had refused to give up the physical plane.

 

“Lady Asuna no more please!” he begged suddenly.

 

“You have never pushed yourself. Allow me to instruct you then.” She whispered in his ear.

 

He leaned his head back and released a long moan as she worked his body and his true self. She had a mastery of her yoki that rivaled his. He felt wound tighter then he had ever been in his long life. She was moaning softly as well and he felt her walls grip him tightly as she experienced her own ending. He began desperately trying to find his own culmination when his eyes widened further. He gasped hard as his body was wracked by a tremendously powerful spasm of pleasure. He was gripping her tightly and she cried out again as well. He had to lean her back as he shook in his release. Her long legs were wrapped around his hips. She gasped herself and he met her eyes.

 

“Your eyes are white.” She said under her breath.

 

“Yes.” He muttered in return.

 

He could not hold himself up and he fell against her. She watched him in fascination as his eyes stayed opaque white.

 

“You are blind to this plane at the moment.” She observed.

 

“You know wraiths well.” He mumbled.

 

“Tomoshibi are blind in this plane at all times unless they take in great amounts of sustenance.” She stated.

 

“We are blinded to it when our own energies are drained.” He said closing his eyes.

 

“Thank you for giving of yourself.” She said lacing her fingers in his.

 

“I have a crush as they say.” He chuckled.

 

“Well you have managed to heal me for now. I am grateful.” She murmured as she closed her eyes.

 

“I should take you back.” He commented.

 

“May I call you Hanaj? I am a very lustful onna and I am finding myself rather taken with your charms.” She said rolling to her side.

 

“Pardon?” he asked dumbfounded.

 

“Is this not what you wanted?” she asked scooting over to him.

 

“I had no intentions of having intercourse my lady.” He said bristling.

 

“Well I do.” Asuna purred as she pulled him onto her.

 

He shut his eyes and he realized he would have to take in her blood more in order to stay on this plane. She was draining him past all endure and he bared his fangs. She guided his lips to her breast and he groaned against the plush globe. She squeezed her eyes shut and felt all manner of exquisite pleasure. She released a throaty groan and he looked up. His silver eyes caught hers and their lips connected again in a hungry way. He arranged himself and joined with her again. She lifted her head off of the bed and released a deep sigh.

 

“Kamis Hanaj.” She moaned.

 

He pecked at her lips as they continued to move sensually. She met his ardor more than passionately and Hanaj wondered if he was in danger of loosing his heart to her as well. This encounter was unlike any he had experienced and he was finding that he could get addicted.

Nobu looked around and there was no sign of his wayward mate. He sighed deeply and he was angry as hell. Her body was trying to reject the fetus and he needed to see what the hell he could do. He was confused as to why she could carry a tiger with no issue but not a Yamaneko. He ran a hand through his shoulder length ebony hair and growled in irritation. Naraku and Ishin both stayed so busy that they had little time to spare but he made sure to see his beloved often enough. The modern times kept all of the family horrendously busy and he hated it. He had ended up loving how their family had turned out and he was never lonely. It was not like the first millennium of his life. He truly had no idea where she would go and he went to Ichigo's bedside to check his vitals. His children used most of the modern equipment but he still relied on his senses.

 

“How do you feel Kurosaki?” he asked.

 

“Like hell.” Ichigo grumbled.

 

“Your father and sisters are outside waiting to see you. I have told them they may see you in a few minutes for a few minutes.” Nobu stated in a very professional tone.

 

“Thanks Doctor Yamasaki.” Ichigo mumbled.

 

“Call me Nobu. You are not just anyone.” The kumo healer chuckled.

 

“Thanks Nobu.” Ichigo nodded.

 

Nobu nodded and he turned to leave. Ichigo grabbed his arm and he searched his face.

 

“You don't know where she is.” He muttered.

 

“No, I do not. Asuna has her mind and her own ways.” Nobu stated.

 

“Yeah. Kinda pisses you off doesn't it?” Ichigo asked with a small smile.

 

“Hai. She pisses me off.” Nobu agreed smiling.

 

Ichigo released him and he laid back in a huff. He was pissed off again but he could not do a damn thing about it at the moment. He sighed and managed to tolerate the visit from his family.

She was doing the end of night accounting and she was exhausted. She flipped her silver hair over her shoulder and sipped her gin and tonic. She closed her mahogany eyes a moment and a waiter walked in.

 

“I am so sorry to bother you Miss Matsuda, we have a boar who has decided he will not leave.” The young inu said perplexed.

 

“I will it handle Kai. Thank you.” She said standing up.

 

She walked out of her office and slowly made her way to the bar. She was close to three hundred fifty years and quite a combination of her parents. She tapped her expensive kid skin heel and poked the old boar in the ribs.

 

“Kanda! Old man it is time to go!” she said sweetly.

 

“Come on sweet heart. One more please!” the boar whined.

 

“You know the rules and I will not have a bunch of mortals in here causing issue! Get off your ass!” she demanded kindly.

 

“All right!” the old boar groused as he slipped off of the stool and sauntered to the door.

 

“Thank you Kanda!” she called.

 

“Yeah, yeah sweetheart! You know I come here to talk sweet to you.” He laughed as he left.

 

She chuckled as she picked up some stray napkins. She wore a form fitting black pencil skirt with a crisp white blouse. She was tidying up her pride and joy and she turned when she felt an unusual presence. She saw a beautiful man through the glass and she widened her eyes. He was so beautiful that he could have passed as woman. She cocked her head to the side as she went to the door. He was dressed in shinigami clothes and she knew the Soul Society was after her mother. She sighed and again tapped her foot.

 

“What are you doing here shinigami?” she asked in her melodious voice.

 

“Spying if truth be told.” The raven haired shinigami said.

 

“Well you are a pretty one.” She said bluntly.

 

“You are rather beautiful yourself youkai.” He said smirking.

 

“I have no idea where my mother or Hikari are. I also would not betray them.” She said raising a brow.

 

“Sure thing. No problem.” He said smiling like a predator.

 

“You are not here for them are you?” Hibari asked.

 

“No but it was cute that you thought that.” He said leaning against the window.

 

“Arrancar?” she asked.

 

“Hai and the Shouten.” He said standing straight up.

 

“Who are you?” she asked.

 

“Ayasegawa Yumichika.” He stated as he bowed with a flourish.

 

“Matsuda Hibari.” She said raising a brow.

 

“Well then it is nice to meet you lady youkai.” He said smiling with mirth.

 

“Are you gay?” she asked bluntly.

 

Yumichikia stopped and stared at her bluntness. A wide smile crossed his features and he bowed again. He laughed merrily as he shunpoed away. Hibari just stared after him and shook her head. She went to walk back into the Den Aqua Lounge when she felt a strange and menancing presence. She whirled around and there was an Arrancar of unearthly beauty. He raised a jade brow and stared at her. She stepped back as he watched her. He walked towards her and she was pressed up against the side of her own bar.

 

“There was a shinigami here. Where did it go?” he demanded.

 

“He left. The shinigami are no friends of mine.” She said as her chest heaved.

 

She was normally afraid of nothing but this creature terrified her. His sheer amount of power was staggering and suffocating and he met her mahogany eyes.

 

“I am glad to hear that. What are you?” he demanded.

 

“I am a youkai.” She said trying to steady her voice.

 

“Well youkai. Today is your lucky day. I have no quarrel with you.” He said coldly.

 

“Please release me. Your reiastu is suffocating me.” She said trying to catch her breath.

 

The Arrancar smirked as he stepped back. She grabbed her throat and took in deep breaths. She met his deep yellow eyes and he did not move.

 

“Who are you?” she asked.

 

“I am called Arturo.” He stated in a cold and elegant voice.

 

Hibari back stepped away from the obviously old creature and she was staggering almost.

 

“You find me frightening?” he asked looking her over.

 

“I feel your power. I have no quarrel with you. Allow me to leave without a fight.” She said softly.

 

He stalked closer to her again and she flattened herself against the wall. His face neared hers and he was feeling her yoki.

 

“You are a powerful being as well. Perhaps I should kill you before you could become a potential enemy.” He said coldly in her ear.

 

“I have nothing you want or am I a threat to you sir. I run this establishment and no more.” She said trying again to take a deep breath.

 

“You have tremendous power.” He said in a frightening manner.

 

“I am a youkai sir and I have yoki hai. My father is a powerful hanyou and my mother a powerful hybrid. I was a warrior at one time but no more.” She said neutrally.

 

“I could take your yoki as it is called to augment mine own.” He said scenting along her neck.

 

“Hai you could. I am no threat to you. I hate the shinigami.” She said stiffly.

 

“What did they do to you?” he demanded.

 

“They hunt my mother like an animal and they tried to kill one of my sisters whom was a Tomoshibi.” She said breathing evenly.

 

“Then why not kill them?” he asked taking in her sweet scent.

 

“I have no desire to kill anything.” Hibari stated in a shaky tone.

 

“You should. They are vile creatures who are quite good at being superior when they are not. Why do you smell so incredible?” he demanded.

 

“I like sakura. My father has always favored the scent and I bathe in the scent.” She said as her lips quivered a little.

 

He looked her over and she could see Shouten features which shocked her. He watched her peruse him and his eyes took in her feminine form.

 

“You are confused. I shall enlighten you then. I am hollow and Shouten.” He said tracing her lower lip.

 

“That is impossible! Arrancar cannot reproduce!” she said in shock.

 

“Who told you that onna?” he asked laughing almost cruelly.

 

“I guess I assumed because…” she started to say.

 

“Hollow and shinigami exist on different planes but it does not make us any less alive. I have lived for more than a thousand summers in imprisonment at the hands of the shinigami!” he growled in horrendous anger.

 

“I am so sorry.” She said looking away.

 

“Do not dare pity me.” He growled in her face.

 

“Please stop! I am no one to you.” She said shaking.

 

He jerked her forward and she felt a huge tug on her yoki and she sagged in his arms. She released a strangled moan as he took from her. She met his eyes and his face was gorgeous but held such a cold and calculated look that it was frightening. He released her and she fell to his feet.

 

“Your energies are most amazing. Matane onna.” He said suddenly gone.

 

She was in a heap on the ground and weaker then she had ever been in her entire life. She managed to reach into her skirt pocket and pull out her cell phone. She pressed a button and it began ringing.

 

“Chichi? I was attacked. I cannot move…I cannot…” she said dropping her phone.

 

She laid her head against the sidewalk and fought the blackness. Her mind kept thinking that he fed upon her aura like a wraith but he had not bitten her. She tried to stay awake but she lost all consciousness.

Naraku stood over his daughter and he was in shock. She was devoid of most of her yoki and he pulled her up. She and Rishou were his youngest in birth order and he tried to revive her. He produced a miasma cloud and he took her to Nobu. He shouted for his old friend and Hibari was laid out on a gurney. Nanami came forward as well and her jaw dropped.

 

“Bari? What happened?” she asked concerned.

 

“I am not sure. She called me and said she had been attacked.” Naraku stated as Nobu checked her.

 

“Good Kamis a little more and she would be in a coma state.” Nobu said in shock.

 

“Only one creature has the power to do as such!” Naraku growled.

 

“Who?” Nanami asked.

 

“A wraith. They can feed off of blood and auras.” Nobu said in disgust.

 

“A wraith got Bari?” Shinobu asked he neared his little sister.

 

“Hai.” Naraku said in a low growl.

 

“I am hooking up an IV and running a gastric tube to feed her. She could be out for awhile.” Nobu said calmly.

 

“We will take care of it chichi.” Shinobu stated as he wheeled his younger sister out.

 

“This is ridiculous! I am sick of the beings from the other plane bothering this family!” Naraku growled to Nobu.

 

“I agree.” Nobu nodded.

 

The legendary shape shifter was angry and he could tell Nobu was angry as well. He sighed and pulled out his cell phone and dialed his brother.

 

“Brother? Call a meeting of the pups. Hai, I am sick of this nonsense once and for all! You and I are going to deal with some of these beings!” Naraku said quite darkly.

 

He slipped the phone back in his pocket and he looked around.

 

“Where is she?” he demanded.

 

“That I could not tell you. She was having seizures and her body is rejecting a pregnancy. I have to find her and try to stop it or her brain will fry!” Nobu said sighing.

 

“What pregnancy?” Naraku asked with narrowed eyes.

 

“A Yamaneko of all things.” Nobu sighed.

 

“She should not be rejecting a Yamaneko. It must be something different.” Naraku considered.

 

“This means my friend she has a lover she is protecting and she does not want us finding out.” Nobu said in annoyance.

 

“Like I care about a damned lover!!” Naraku snapped.

 

“I know but there it is. I have to find her and get her to fess up soon.” The kumo healer sighed.

 

“Watch over my baby! I will be in Sendai with the others. Call me as soon as she wakes up!” Naraku commanded.

 

“Hai my lord.” Nobu said nodding.

 

Nobu felt stricken as he went to see Hibari. She was one of the most level headed of the pups. She was a smart business woman and very calm in nature. He remembered delivering her and the look on Naraku's face as he held his youngest daughter. Hibari had been sweet and complying as a youngling and she had a wicked sense of humor and deep honor. She never engaged in a fight unless she had to and she normally did not. He saw the feeding tube that was inserted in her nose and IV's hooked up. He was disgusted and he knew she would not wake up for at least two or three days. Wraith attacks were normally deadly and she was pale. He sighed and sat next to her. He took her hands and he was feeling helpless.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It took him awhile but he found her weakened aura. A smirk played upon his pale lips and he stared down at the powerful and beautiful onna. He had killed two lesser shinigami and he had decided to feed her to restore her aura. He moved with grace and he lifted her silver head to his wrist. He slit his own wrist and allowed his blackened blood to drip into her parted lips. Her mouth opened more suddenly and her eyes flew open. She stared up at the wraith Arrancar and fear actually possessed her. She turned her head to the side and gasped when she saw where she was.

 

“What are you doing?” she said meeting his eyes.

 

“Returning a little what I took from you. You yoki is quite empowering.” He said dispassionately.

 

“Why did you take it from me?” she asked.

 

“To see if I could. You did not even fight me.” He stated brushing her lip with his thumb.

 

“I dislike battling.” She said trying to look away.

 

“Do not look away from me youkai. I speak to you and you will look at me!” he said coldly.

 

“I am not your enemy.” She stated as calmly as she could.

 

“No perhaps you are not but you are strong.” He said leaning down meeting her eyes.

 

“Are you telling me you are a born Arrancar?” Hibari asked.

 

“I am telling you that I was born hai.” Arturo stated smirking.

 

“Please leave me be. I am no threat to you.” She said in a low tone.

 

“You will be useful to me.” He said stepping back.

 

She stared at him shocked and he stepped back. Her face dropped and she could not understand why he was using her. She laid back and wished to the Kamis she could find a way to not deal with him. She shook and had no clue why.

She had seen glimpses of him over the next several days. He watched her and she grew more and more nervous. The family had met; Naraku and Ishin themselves were now in Japan at all times. She was walking home from a late evening at the lounge. She was very tired still and she was close to her apartment building. Her face was pale and she stiffened visibly. She turned to him and he walked her backwards into a wall.

 

“Stop!” she cried.

 

“I answer to no one. I have no loyalties or commander that tell me what to do.” He stated.

 

“You do not answer to Aizen?” she asked dumbfounded.

 

“As if I would answer to a shinigami! I am a self made Arrancar and I had no need of the Hogyoku. I am known as a Vasto Lordes.” He said smirking.

 

She gulped visibly and he chuckled as his fingers traced along her jaw. She was desperate to escape and tried to break his gaze.

 

“I like that you hate the shinigami. It pleases me to no end to hear of your dislike for them.” He whispered in her ear.

 

“Okay but I also have no love for the Arrancar. One has been bound and determined to decimate my mother.” She said bravely.

 

“All Arrancar are not the same youkai. We are individuals the same as your kind.” He said brushing his nose along her jaw line.

 

“What do you want from me?” she asked in a shaky tone.

 

“So long since I felt the flesh of another.” He stated bluntly.

 

“What do you mean?” she asked meeting his eyes.

 

“Oh I am sure you know what I mean.” He stated chuckling.

 

“When you said imprisoned…what did you mean?” she asked breathing harder.

 

“Sealed away from anyone and anything. Alone with only my own thoughts.” He said staring into her eyes.

 

Hibari gasped in surprise and she stared back at him.

 

“So maybe I wish to feel your skin against mine.” He said in a lilting tone.

 

“I do not know you.” She said looking away.

 

“Why does that matter?” he laughed lightly.

 

“I do not rut just to rut.” She said turning red.

 

“You find me pleasing.” He said brazenly.

 

“Hai but…” she said burning hotly.

 

He lifted her chin and ghosted his frigid lips across hers. She felt a shiver go down her spine and she met his eyes.

 

“Now.” He said suddenly.

 

“What? Here?” she asked shocked.

 

“Hai.” He said hauling her off the ground

 

She squeaked in surprise and her skirt was hiked up around her hips. This being was just doing whatever he wanted and she truly was allowing it. She felt him rip her panties away and the next thing she knew, she felt his engorged member teasing her entrance. Her eyes widened she realized he was going to do it. She expected him to slam into her but her breath escaped when he pushed in excruciatingly slow. Arturo had to hold back his moan as he filled her. She was not untouched but she may as well have been. Her body clutched him so tightly that he could be in euphoria almost instantly. He could not believe how amazing her heat and aura felt.

 

“Oh my Kamis. Oh Kamis.” She cried out softly.

 

“Can you teleport?” he demanded harshly in her ear.

 

“Hai.” She said squeezing her eyes shut.

 

“Do it.” He commanded.

 

She produced a miasma and he maneuvered them into it. They fell back against her bed and she cried out loudly. His hands bared her chest and he roughly pulled her white lace bra off. Her hands were shaking and her own fingers found his haori. She spread open the material to expose pale skin. He smirked down at her and her eyes were clouded over. He had not moved and the pressure was unreal, he fell against her and demanded entrance into her mouth. He rocked his hips against hers as he stole her will and breath as he kissed her deeply. She had never been taken like this; she was loosing all cohesion as he took and commanded her body with his. She wanted to cry out and scream as he pressed against her over and over. She arched against him and she heard him grunt. He finally released her lips a moment as the heat between them increased.

 

“Onna! Look at me.” He commanded.

 

“Hai?” she groaned.

 

“I would have your name.” he said in his cold voice.

 

“Matsuda Hibari.” She stated in a gasp.

 

“Arturo Plateado.” He said softly in her ear.

 

Her eyes were straining to change and her body was on overload. She whimpered suddenly as he continued to rock his hips. She could see the pleasure he was feeling and she felt empowered suddenly. Arturo's eyes widened as she aggressively snapped her hips against his.

 

“Please, please I need more Arturo.” She whined out.

 

“Tell me what you want onna.” He commanded.

 

“Please harder.” She begged.

 

“Then I must taste you first.” He said smiling down at her.

 

He pulled out of her suddenly and he ripped her skirt from her. He finished removing any remaining clothing. She looked at him in a daze and he lazily removed his clothes. He also moved his Arrancar mask shard. The creature that stood before her was ungodly beautiful and sinister. He leaned down and took in her sakura scent. It intoxicated him to the point of madness and it drove him to pursue this powerful onna beneath him. He ran his tongue along her weeping opening and he groaned a little. She desired him strongly and arrogance flitted on his face. He explored her with his tongue and fingers as she squirmed under his ministrations. She was wanton and going insane with need as she experienced a glorious release. Her claws gouged her bedding as she arched her body as spasms wracked her. He was reveling in her taste and the feel of her sweet feminine form. He pulled Hibari into a sitting position and jerked her forward. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he took her hard in tremendous and intense passion. Their eyes were locked as their grunts and groans filled her room. Hibari's long and wavy silver hair was becoming plastered to her neck and back. She threw her head back and did not think she could handle much more. He was divine and addictive; he frightened the hell out of her and she knew she would reel from this.

 

“So good.” He said suddenly as he began moving more urgently.

 

He felled them and he was behind her as he shoved into her harder. His legs became entangled with hers and his hands kneaded her flesh. The blossoming of power began and she was incoherent in crying out. Rapture was swift to take them both as she screamed his name suddenly. He was in near oblivion as he climaxed and her shook with his. His instincts never lead him wrong and when he had taken in her aura, he had known. She would make an excellent partner and bring him endless delight. His lips nipped her neck and left angry red marks as he emptied his seed. She was desperate for sleep and she felt leaden. He was not withdrawing and she horrified that she wanted to feel him.

 

“So very good Hibari. You are worth the effort.” He murmured.

 

“Are you staying?” she asked dumbly.

 

“Hai. I am staying within your walls. I have masterful control over my body.” He said in a husky tone.

 

Neither said anything else as slumber took them both.

Asuna was staring at Nobu as he berated her and chided her for her foolishness. She closed her eyes and listened to his tantrum.

 

“What is it you are saying my kumo?” she demanded.

 

“I am saying that the babe you carry is Yamaneko but not. It is something else and I have to find out what or it could kill you.” He said in anger.

 

“I would prefer if Nanami would take care of me.” She said bluntly.

 

“You may have convinced her to lie for you in the past Asuna but I assure you I have remedied that! She is a doctor and her first duty is DO NO HARM!” he yelled at her.

 

She stood up in anger and he was red eyed. He was furious and he shoved her backwards onto her couch. Nobu hardly ever lost his temper and most of the time it was with her. Things escalated between them and he actually hissed in fury.

 

“Asuna stop it! What am I going to do? Stop loving you? That could not happen! I know who and what you are inu! I have known you for almost five centuries! You have born me two babes, grow up!” he snapped.

 

“Grimmjow!” she yelled.

 

“Okay! Thank you!” he said standing.

 

He began pacing and he knew that the Arrancar had somehow gotten her pregnant. He sighed and nodded to her.

 

“How did you stop the seizures?” he demanded.

 

“I attacked a Shouten. It came into my hospital room to try and attack me. I killed him but his blood has powerful effects.” She lied.

 

“Then I need a Shouten. I am going to have to make one of my draughts like the old days. Do not lie to me Asuna. I am one of your mates that you need not lie to!” he said coldly.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“Find the Arrancar and bring him to me.” Nobu said as he walked through his own shoki cloud.

 

She stared after Nobu and marveled at him. He demanded time with her and they were still passionate. He still was always the healer but their relationship was solid. He demanded from her and she normally gave into his desires. She stood and went to the patio door. She slipped out onto the beach and she knew Grimmjow was near. He stayed close by nowadays and she did not wait long. She turned to stare at him and he was still very angry.

 

“Grimmjow.” She said in deep sigh.

 

“What?” he snarled.

 

“Tell me what you want from me.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“Arrogant fucking bitch.” He said stalking her.

 

“You came after me!” she said defensively.

 

“Yeah so?” he growled.

 

“You took me first Grimmjow.” She said clenching her jaw.

 

“I should've killed you.” He sneered.

 

He came at her and she caught his hand. She grabbed his other one and pressed it to her belly. He looked incensed.

 

“This is your babe Grimmjow. This your child I carry.” She said fiercely.

 

“Don't fucking lie to me bitch!” He snapped.

 

“It is yours! It will kill me! You are not of this plane and I know not how you fathered it but you have!” she snapped in return.

 

He suddenly gripped her jaw and lowered his mouth to hers. He kissed her with such incredible passion that it left her reeling. They wrapped their arms around the other as feelings coursed. Neither felt the danger and Asuna suddenly shrieked in pain. Grimmjow was ripped away from her and he looked ready to kill. Raganos stood by smirking and his hand was phased out and within her body itself. Grimmjow was being held at bay by Aizen himself.

 

“I am most disappointed Grimmjow.” Aizen said in his famous benign tones.

 

“Fuck You!” Grimmjow roared.

 

“Hush the hollow shinigami. Now Lady Asuna…you will get us into the Western Lands. I have but release my toxin and you will loose that abomination a helluva lot faster.” The Shouten said.

 

“Let her go wraith!” Grimmjow hissed.

 

Raganos turned his dark eyes to the Sixth Espada and suddenly he was on his knees. Asuna was in such horrendous pain that she could not think. Thei Tr'Awnhi had her own hand phased within Grimmjow.

 

“Hai.” Asuna gasped out.

 

“Good girl. Now shinigami I am getting my revenge upon the dog and you can do as you please.” The Shouten leader said in clipped tones.

 

“Hai.” Aizen said in a bored fashion.

 

Raganos faded out with the inu princess and Aizen looked down at Grimmjow. He paced back and forth for a moment and he suddenly stopped.

 

“I will allow you to live and keep your current rank. You will retrieve the inu's eldest daughter for me and I will shelter your offspring.” Aizen said in a very calm voice.

 

“Hai.” Grimmjow said breathlessly in pain.

 

Thei removed her arm and Grimmjow stood. His mind was working overtime but he saw no way out of this. He looked over at Ulquiorra and the Fourth Espada stared disdainfully at him.

 

“Ulquiorra! Attend Grimmjow and see to it that he does his job.” Aizen said walking into a garganta.

 

Ulquiorra stared at Grimmjow with obvious disgust and he slipped his hands into his pockets.

 

“Don't stare at me you pale faced fucker!” Grimmjow snarled.

 

“As usual Number Six you are trash!” Ulquiorra responded.

 

“You want the same thing I do, you piece of shit!” the blue haired Arrancar snapped.

 

“What is that?” The Fourth Espada demanded.

 

“You want your boyfriend and little kumo all nice and safe.” Grimmjow said in a taunting tone.

 

“What are you suggesting?” Ulquiorra asked raising a black brow.

 

“You want what you want! I want the inu!” Grimmjow hissed.

 

“Aizen-sama will expect Lady Mizuki.” Ulquiorra stated with a frown.

 

“I don't give a shit. I'll send my Fraccion to handle it!” Grimmjow growled.

 

“She must not be harmed!” Ulquiorra stated with a low growl.

 

“Yeah yeah.” Grimmjow snorted.

 

Grimmjow was suddenly gone and Ulquiorra sighed. He was betraying Rishou in order to protect him. He was uncomfortable with the idea but he had to do. He sighed and he went to fetch the Fraccion of the idiot Grimmjow.

Asuna could not breathe but the she was able to walk through the barrier. Raganos threw her roughly away from him as he disappeared. She gasped for needed air and coughed up blood. She ported quickly and chaos was erupting in the palace.

 

“My lord!!” she screamed.

 

She saw Osamu coming and he hauled her up. He looked concerned and they heard screaming. Osamu ran with his sister in his arms and he saw Shouten everywhere. Asuna saw her father fighting and decimating many, many Shouten but Osamu's head whipped around when he saw his mother being dragged forward.

 

“Mother!” Osamu yelled.

 

Sesshomaru saw her being dragged forward by four Shouten. His face suddenly became frozen as pain erupted in his chest.

 

“Augusta or you dog! You really think I would not retaliate? You really think I would allow an arrogant mongrel such as yourself to best me? Your self inflated ego knows no bounds dog. Shall you watch as I drain the little murderess dry?” Raganos said in a horrid fury.

 

“You will die by this Sesshomaru's claws vermin.” The inu lord said coldly.

 

“Fine.” Raganos said and he suddenly was in front of Augusta.

 

Raganos was furious that she had been harmed. He reached into one of his soldier's neck and severed his spinal cord. The Shouten fell dead at his own ruler's feet and Raganos took Augusta into his arms.

 

“Shall you watch as I make him suffer? You wish to see how cruel I can be?” he said hotly in her ear.

 

“Please do not hurt him or my family!” she snarled.

 

“What do I get Augusta? What shall I receive for my mercy?” he cooed in her ear.

 

“I will stay!” she cried.

 

“Oh I believe that so well.” He said cruelly.

 

The leader of the Shouten for the first time in his life wanted another. He turned his head to look at the dog and hatred tore at him.

 

“What have you done to earn such devotion dog?” Raganos demanded.

 

“Hn.” Sesshomaru muttered.

 

Raganos was suddenly in front of him and he morphed his arm. He reached over and grabbed Tensaiga and the barrier crackled to life. He snarled and threw the blade away. He could see the strain on his kind holding the dog lord down. Raganos grew wrathful and plunged his morphed limb straight through Sesshomaru. He heard Augusta scream and that of the inu princess. The dog never showed a flicker of pain but he knew he had done considerable damage. He had been completely underhanded but there was no way he could face the dog at his full power. Dog Daemons were amongst some of the most powerful there were. He heard the inu onna scream, “Chichi.” And he heard scream the dog's name. He stared down at the now fallen Sesshomaru and smirked with tremendous malice.

 

“I will make her forget your name.” he said spitting at the lord.

 

He walked away from the dog and he went to Augusta and quite viciously bit into her neck. She gasped in pain as he drank heavily from her. She sagged to the floor and he turned. His mouth was bloodied from the uppyr woman and his hand from the dog lord.

 

“Kill the rest.” Raganos said as he walked away from his handy work.

 

“Majesty, what shall we do with the woman?” one guard said.

 

Raganos stopped and stared back at Augusta as she had outstretched her hand toward her fallen mate. Anger that she still would not let go of the silver dog consumed him. He went to Sesshomaru and reached for a very demonic aura. He pulled back Tokijin and went to the Western Lady.

 

“Shall I run you through with his own blade?” he asked in hatred.

 

“Raganos!” she whispered in pain.

 

“You killed your own child as well Augusta. You killed my son!” he said in fury.

 

She closed her eyes and she was fighting back blackness. She felt Tokijin at her throat and she felt the Shouten leader hesitate.

 

“I should kill you! I should end your miserable life.” He said in a tense whisper.

 

“Do it!” she said hoarsely.

 

“As you wish!” he said slicing her throat.

 

Augusta made no noise and Raganos walked away. He saw the inu princess and prince on the floor as well. He had not committed this much devastation in centuries. He chuckled at the arrogance of the corporeals. He saw Thei with a satisfied smirk on her face and he met her eyes.

 

“Your glee disgusts me!” he snapped.

 

“You were too taken with the horror! She was an uppyr.” Thei said in disgust.

 

“She should be about dead.” He said suddenly morose.

 

“What do you want Raganos? You cannot murder her and still want her. If you still want her then you should turn her.” Thei said in a sneer.

 

“To one of us? Why should I do that?” he said narrowing his eyes.

 

“Because then you would have absolute power over her. You would be her maker.” Thei said pursing her lips.

 

“I do not think it has been done, turning an uppyr that is.” He said considering.

 

“Well Raganos you have not long to decide. Her aura is almost non existent.” Thei said walking away.

 

The wraith leader moved over to the fallen woman and he dragged her up. Her eyes were almost lifeless as he met them.

 

“I love you and by the Gods you will obey my will. Your dog is already dead and you will obey me!” he said in a low snarl.

 

She could not breathe and suddenly her body was almost like it was frozen. Her eyes faded and she stared out into nothing.

Nobu stood in the middle of the Western Palace and he was half ruined. Asuna was in the hospital along with her twin. Her sire was barely alive with a lacerated liver and the sac around his heart had been damaged. There was no sign of Lady Augusta and the Kumo warriors were in disbelief that their inu breathen had been slaughtered in droves. Nobu was shaking and he realized they needed the shinigami as allies and not enemies. He went via his shoki and appeared at the hospital. He watched Karu stagger in and he looked ashen.

 

“Mizuki has been taken. Where is Asuna?” he demanded.

 

“She is in a hospital bed. Karu, where is Captain Kuchiki?” Nobu asked.

 

“In Soul Society.” Karu said shaking.

 

“Saaya was in Mongolia last I heard. I am going to send her. We need the shinigami.” Nobu said producing a shoki cloud.

 

He stepped through and he was in Mongolia. He looked up and saw the insect youkai and their massive hidden city. There was a sentry who came forward and wrinkled his nose.

 

“What do you want spider?” the ga stated.

 

“I need Princess Saaya. Her mother and most of her family is in the hospital with grave injuries.” Nobu said calmly.

 

The sentry immediately left and within a few minutes Saaya came forward followed by Kenomaru. The ga lord looked concerned and Nobu stared at him disdainfully.

 

“Nobu? What is wrong?” she asked.

 

“I need you to go into Soul Society. Your jii-chan fell along with your mother and most of the Western family. I need you to get a message to the leaders of the shinigami and demand for their help.” Nobu stated.

 

“Oh my Gods.” She said stunned.

 

“Hai. Please Lady Saaya.” Nobu said with urgency.

 

Saaya nodded and she suddenly invoked the medallion she wore around her neck. She watched the gate open and she ran through leaving her father and Nobu.

Saaya ported once she was inside of the Seireitei and straight into the tenth division. Her young husband looked up and he looked concerned.

 

“Saaya?” he asked standing.

 

“Toushirou! The Shouten and Aizen joined forces and they have attacked.” She said breathlessly.

 

“What?” he asked surprised.

 

“Yes! Husband, I know my mother and your Captain General are fighting but please they decimated the Western Palace.” She said swiftly.

 

“Hai! I will go now. How is Yuzuna?” he asked as they moved together.

 

“She is well. My father and Uncle Menomaru are quite taken with her.” Saaya stated as they moved through the Seireitei to First Division.

 

Captain Hitsugaya nodded and he missed his wife and young daughter. He had insisted they return to the world of the living while there was uproar in the Seireitei. They made it to the Squad One offices and Toushirou got entrance to see Captain General Yamamoto. Toushirou bowed to the head captain and Yamamoto waited.

 

“My wife is here to speak with you Head Captain. Will you hear her?” Captain Hitsugaya said.

 

“I will hear your wife Captain Hitsugaya.” Yamamoto stated.

 

“Head Captain! My mother and the West almost fell completely to the Shouten and Aizen sir. We need your help. Please work with us to put down our mutual enemies.” Saaya said bowing low.

 

“I will help the youkai. I see no other way to defeat Aizen or the Shouten.” Yamamoto stated flatly.

 

“Thank you!” Saaya said.

 

“Your mother has much to answer for Lady Saaya.” He said in a low tone.

 

“I have nothing to do with that sir. My mother is inu royalty and mated to some of the most powerful males in history.” She said with her bowed head.

 

“Hn. I will send Captain Kuchiki and Captain Hitsugaya now.” Yamamoto said in a dismissing tone.

 

Both Saaya and Toushirou left quickly and Yamamoto stood up. He switched his form and pain flitted across his features. He missed her and he felt in a way she was justified for defending her family but he had to uphold the orders from the older and higher houses. He ported to the real world and he was in the hospital. He walked slowly and he found her aura. She looked drained of color and he stared down at her.

 

“Asuna?” he whispered softly.

 

“Teru?” she asked weakly.

 

“Hai. I was informed what happened. We will aide you. You have to stop killing my shinigami.” He whispered fiercely.

 

“Your shinigami will not harm my family.” She said closing.

 

“You should have come when I summoned you! I did not order the stealth forces.” He said sitting by her.

 

“Teru, why should I have come when you summoned me?” she said narrowing her eyes.

 

“Because I would have tried to help you! I would have shielded you!” he said narrowing his eyes.

 

“You would have executed Hikari!” she said in fury.

 

“No, I would not have you moronic onna.” He said in anger.

 

“Then what was that display Teru?” she asked in fury.

 

“A display for the higher up kami! You have no idea what exists beyond the planes Asuna! I have those I have to answer to!” he said in a low whisper.

 

“Who?” she snapped.

 

“Who do you think my parents are Asuna?” he asked rolling his eyes.

 

“You are born from a kami.” She said flatly.

 

“Hai. Now if you let me work out things but you have not trusted me.” He said in intense irritation.

 

“You have not made me trust you.” She snapped.

 

“I restored Onigumo Asuna! I would do anything for you onna!” he said baring angry eyes at her.

 

She was taken back by his emotion and she stared at him. She suddenly knew and she believed him. He took her hands and met her eyes.

 

“You have killed a great many shinigami. The elders are furious.” He said softly.

 

“They were attempting to take me Teru. What was I supposed to do?” she demanded.

 

“TRUST IN ME!” he bellowed in anger.

 

“Why? I was going to see my wraith daughter destroyed I thought.” She said.

 

“I had planned to save her. Enough talk. The Shouten did a lot of damage. I need to take stock of the losses.” He said standing.

 

“Teru?” she asked in a small voice.

 

“What Asuna? What can you say? What can I say? You have not trusted me in the least and you give my son to a child! You have a long list to answer for but like a fool I will protect you.” He said suddenly porting out.

 

She was totally dumbfounded and she managed to stand. She walked to the ICU. The sight that greeted her nearly floored her. They had been set up and carefully watched she realized. She saw her sire asleep and connected to IV's. She nearly blanched when she realized that her sire had allowed himself to be injured in order to try and save her mother. She stepped forward and took a clawed hand in hers. His amber eyes opened clouded in pain and he stared at her.

 

“Father?” she asked.

 

“I cannot sense her at all.” He said in a hollow tone.

 

“Father they did not find her body.” She said in a hopeful voice.

 

“I would feel her. Ever since the tiger…I have felt her Daughter. There is nothing.” He said looking away.

 

“My lord!” she said covering her mouth.

 

“The wraith will die by my hand.” He said in the cruelest voice she had ever heard him make.

 

“I understand.” She said squeezing his hand.

 

“This Sesshomaru wishes for death.” He said slowly pulling his hand back and rolling to his side.

 

Asuna's face blanched and she could not believe her ears. Her great sire and the most feared inu in history had just stated the most unbelievable thing. She also knew how horrid the pain was and she resolved that the war would go very badly for those in Hueco Mundo.
