The World of Uppyr and Shouten

 

Raganos stood over the body of Augusta Elizaveta Orlovich and he knew it would take several days to wake from her change. He was intensely curious what she would be but he went to his throne room and sat upon his throne. Hanaj was there and his younger brother had been horrified at him.

 

“You know Hanaj, our mother coddled you at her tit far longer then she should have. These beings deserve every manner of death upon them.” Raganos stated in anger.

 

“I defend our kind with my life brother but how can condone needless slaughter?” Hanaj asked in fury.

 

“Last I checked, it really did not matter what you think Hanaj.” The elder brother said snidely.

 

“You rule by virtue of birth order Raganos and not by strength of power. You, my older brother, are a fool!” Hanaj growled.

 

“Perhaps in your eyes only. The blood bath was quite thrilling really. I watched as the dog princess was slaughtered as well.” The Shouten leader laughed.

 

“I cannot stand to be in the same room as you!” Hanaj said in horror.

 

“Then do not be. Do not cross me Hanaj or you will pay.” Raganos said with contempt.

 

“I would not dream of it brother. I have seen the evidence of your love and devotion!” Hanaj said indicating Augusta.

 

Raganos stood up in anger and Hanaj disappeared. He would be risking much but he could not believe that Asuna would have perished so easily. He appeared in the hospital where she had been before and he found her aura. He slowly walked to her sleeping form and he looked down at her.

 

“I feel you Hanaj. Why are you here?” Asuna said without opening her eyes.

 

“I cannot abide what my brother did.” He said in a hoarse tone.

 

“Is my mother dead?” Asuna asked opening her eyes.

 

“There is no way to know for sure. My brother did take her body.” He admitted.

 

“He must pay for what he has done.” She said sitting up.

 

“He is my brother Asuna!” Hanaj said stepping back.

 

“Yet you cannot abide what he has done?” the inu princess asked in anguish.

 

“No, I cannot but you are asking me to betray my family.” Hanaj mumbled.

 

“You are rare amongst the Shouten, you actually have a heart. Why did you save me?” She asked in a raw whisper.

 

“Because I see something in your eyes I have not seen in a very long time.” He said looking away.

 

“What is that?” she asked.

 

“Passion, honor, and goodness.” He said in a tortured tone.

 

“What is it you want from me Hanaj?” She said slipping from the bed.

 

“You cannot give me what I wish woman! Do not tempt me to betray everything I am for a pipe dream!” he said jerking away from her.

 

“You wished to have me as your occasional plaything.” She said in anger.

 

“I had no expectations Asuna! I desired you yes!” He said honestly.

 

“I demand more Hanaj! I am not your plaything for anything and if you are with me then you are not with them!” she said stalking him.

 

He stared at her in disbelief and she pressed him against a wall. He was angry that he was being forced to make any form of decision and he put his hands on her shoulders. She stared into his silver eyes and he saw horrendous pain reflected.

 

“Stop!” he whispered.

 

She pulled him down and pressed her forehead to his. He could not breathe properly as he actually faced the idea of betraying his family. He could hear her deep confliction and pain as they stood there.

 

“I cannot betray my brother anymore then you can betray yours.” He said hoarsely.

 

“So you would use me.” She said in anger.

 

“I have not used you! We joined that day but it was mutual.” He said indignantly.

 

“You cannot be good and honorable and still continue on with the Shouten!” she said in anger.

 

“I am a Shouten!” he snapped.

 

“Something happened between us Hanaj.” Asuna said refusing to allow him to move or port away.

 

“Yes, we made love.” He growled.

 

“Hai. You came here to see if I made it. You could not bear the idea that your brother may have decimated me.” She said repeating his thoughts.

 

“Stop entering my mind!” he said trying to shove her away.

 

“You cannot keep me out!” she said suddenly.

 

“No, I cannot! In order to counteract the seizures and sickness I had to bind you to me.” He said looking away.

 

“I see. I am uppyr too and I can bind you to me as well.” She said in his ear.

 

“Do not do that! You will tie our lives together. If I were to die or you for that matter then the other's life would end.” He stated flatly.

 

“But your loyalties would belong to me.” She said raising a silver brow.

 

“Woman! Do you hear yourself?” he said in surprise.

 

“I hear myself just fine.” Asuna remarked in a low snarl.

 

Hanaj stared at her and there was so many emotions reflected in her beautiful eyes. He yelped out as she pulled on his true form. Her sheer mental strength rivaled the royal house of the Shouten any day. He shuddered in his physical body as she subjected him to her yoki.

 

“Do not do this.” He said in a raspy tone.

 

“The onna who birthed me from her body may be dead and my sire wishes for death! You hate your brother and his actions. You are starting to feel for me. You do not belong with them anymore Hanaj. He slit her throat! You were trying to find me.” She said pressing her body against his.

 

“Asuna! Gods no!” he cried out.

 

They sank to their knees and she refused to let the Shouten prince return to his family. She had not attempted such an intense binding in a very long time. Hanaj could not breathe deeply as he felt her inner being pressing against his. She would meld them and he was doomed. He tried to push back and he tried to fight her but failed. He gasped harder as he felt a blossoming rapture begin to erupt inside of him. They both were shaking against each other as she willed herself to begin phasing into his very inner being. Her inner being was amazing and so incredibly hot and tangy. He rasped out deep, guttural groans as she pressed in more. He felt the merging of their souls and he tried to cry out. He felt her on every single level and it was pure, unadulterated perfection. He ended up pushing her back onto the floor and ravishing her lips with need born from such an intense exchange. He ended up dropping kisses on her lips, forehead, eyes, and cheeks. She felt his heavy breathing against her ear and sublime shudders went down her spine.

 

“Tell me where to go.” He pleaded.

 

“Allow me.” She whispered.

 

She suddenly ported them to her Tokyo penthouse and he wasted no time in divesting her of her silk pajamas. His own clothing seemed to just fade away as he held her face and kissed her as their legs entangled. Their hips met as they began thrusting urgently against the other. Hanaj was beyond mindless as he joined their physical bodies. The joy he was feeling was indescribable as they were one in every single sense.

 

“Gods! What have you done to me?” he cried out.

 

“Made you mine! I have taken you from the them forever.” She growled in passion.

 

“I am Shouten.” He murmured in a haze.

 

“You are mine.” She said clawing his back in fervor.

 

Profound need and lust began to crawl up his spine and his body felt almost in a cold sweat. He noticed her responses were the same. Her body was gripping and fit him like a tight glove; he could take no more and he felt the quivering beginning. He had to grip her tightly as he spilled his seed deep and she was spasming around him. They had both screamed out in their combined and shared release. He was shaking so hard, she held him up.

 

“I know what you need Hanaj.” She murmured.

 

“Yes.” He said in the hoarsest tone she had ever heard a creature make.

 

He faded out into his true form and she smoothly arched her body as she felt him within. Her hands roamed over her body brazenly as he took her in his true form. She withered on the bed as she felt ecstasy ravage her body. She could feel his presence and his actions cause the familiar euphoria. She yelled out as she succumbed to the amazing feelings. He was next to her suddenly and his eyes were closed. His breathing was quick and he sank his fangs into her neck. She moaned softly for him and he could not think beyond what they had done. He was in awe and fury over her actions but her lips drugged his senses and her desires made him almost loose his mind. He finally lay next to her and she was running her claws through his black hair.

 

“You had no right to do this.” He said in an exhausted tone.

 

“What is done is done. I have now made it my mission to destroy him. I regret that this will hurt you.” She said sitting up.

 

“I am not like your other men woman. I can be within you if I choose. You have given me unfettered access to you.” He growled.

 

“You did the same did you not?” she retorted.

 

“You are talking about killing my family!” he snapped.

 

“You forget yourself Hanaj. I am your family now. Other Shouten will die unless they step aside.” She said standing fluidly.

 

“My Gods Asuna! What makes you any different then him?” he asked in contempt.

 

“I will only kill him and not decimate your entire family! You know I rival you in power any day and I rival your brother.” She snapped.

 

“So because you rival us in power that gives you license to walk over and decimate? Open your locked away memories Asuna. I have never met an uppyr or wraith who could do that.” He said stalking over to her.

 

“NO! Now you can truly stay with me and on this side away certain death or I will force you.” She said in a dark tone.

 

“Why are you doing this?” he demanded in complete anger.

 

“You saved me. I will not allow you to walk down a path that may lead to your demise. You straddle the fence no more.” She said as she pulled on a silk robe.

 

He was so incredibly confused that he sat on her bed and shook his head. No one had ever dared command him except his brother. She was moving about her room and he was stewing in his thoughts. This binding shook him to his foundations. Asuna looked at him intently and he stood to stand at the window.

 

“I have to go back to my family Asuna. They will think I am a traitor and come after all of you again.” He said bluntly.

 

“I cannot allow that Hanaj.” She said bluntly.

 

“You cannot allow it? Have I become your slave instead of one of your kept men?” he demanded.

 

“That is not fair!” she growled.

 

“Is it not? I told you not to bind us and you did anyway. I will cause problems for you and you court death by this.” Hanaj stated narrowing his eyes.

 

“I court nothing. Make of this what you wish. I resent you referring to yourself as a kept man!” she stated with a glare.

 

“Then what am I? Am I your new pet that you will take out on occasion to lavish attention upon?” he asked archly.

 

She was in front of him in an instant and slapped him. He watched her and felt blood trickle down his cheek. One of her claws had caught his cheek and they stared at the other hard. They knew each other well now and he was using that knowledge to piss her off.

 

“You have great power Asuna and you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen; I have seen many beautiful women but they pale in comparison. You have the most beautiful soul I have ever seen.” He stated lifting his hand to her cheek.

 

“Why are you not like your brother?” she asked looking up at him.

 

“He swears my mother coddled me and maybe she did. She was a beautiful woman too but Raganos was always so cold and calculated like our father.” He said closing his eyes.

 

“I can see her face.” Asuna stated laying her head against his chest.

 

“Yes. She favored me and another sister, Nalah.” He said burying his nose into her silver hair.

 

He ended wrapping his arms around her and they stayed that way.

 

“You have made it impossible for me.” He said in a whisper.

 

“You are part of me now Hanaj. Deal with it!” she said jerking away from him.

 

He sighed and she ported away. He hit a wall with his fist and he growled out in helplessness. She knew how he felt about her and she had used it against him.

She gasped in a deep breath and sat up. She was shivering badly and she looked around. She could have sworn she had bled out and she was back in Hueco Mundo. She managed to stand and she walked along silently on bare feet. She could see so many wraiths that it was shocking. She padded her way to where there was a lot of noise. She stepped into a main hall and she saw Raganos watching two male Shouten in a wrestling match. He looked up when he saw her in the shadows. He stood up as if in a trance and slowly walked to her. She had to stare up at him and he stared down at her with cold eyes. There was no expression on his face and she looked at him in anger.

 

“What did you do to me?” she whispered in quiet fury.

 

“I made it possible for you to still live.” He snapped.

 

“Well you were the one who tried to kill me.” She said stepping back.

 

“After you killed my child!” he snarled.

 

“You stole me from Sesshomaru!” she hissed.

 

“You dare to still mention his name?” he said in hatred.

 

He grabbed her tightly and she yelped as she felt his claws pierce her back. His aura was pulsing in his anger. He yanked her head back by grabbing her long ebony hair. He stared into her face and she saw raw feeling registered in his black eyes.

 

“You continue to defy me even when I control you!” he said in a snarl.

 

“What did you do to me?” she asked in a strained voice.

 

“I turned you.” He said smirking.

 

“What do you mean?” she asked in shock.

 

“You seriously think the uppyr are the only creatures that can make hybrids? You are something that I am unsure of what you are now but you live.” He said in a sharp tone.

 

Fear possessed her and she began shaking hard. Raganos lifted her hand and worked her wrist. A grayish silver shoki leaked from her claws and she stared in horror.

 

“Well it seems you have inherited some of my abilities.” He said in mirthful tone.

 

“I am a wraith?” she asked in fear.

 

“Not completely. I suspect you are a mix of uppyr and wraith.” He laughed.

 

“Oh my God!” she said in a scream.

 

“Pay back is a bitch as they say! You took our child's life and I took yours as you knew it.” He said releasing her.

 

“You animal! You evil son of whore!” she shrieked.

 

“Maybe but I control you Augusta. Shall I show you how I can?” he asked raising a black brow.

 

“Bastard! I hate you! I swear you are the most arrogant son of bitch!” she said lifting her hand.

 

She actually threw him with her mind but he appeared behind her instead. He was so incredibly aroused by her display of defiance and power. He grabbed her and pulled her backwards. He threw her down on his bed and within seconds he was between her thighs. He had not been with a wraith woman in some time and he was intending to savor it. Augusta choked out as the most different type of coupling took place. She felt different and the thought terrified her. Somewhere in her she could feel this deep pull of the Shouten ruler. Their culmination was at the same time and she screamed in completion. She was filled with revulsion at herself for wanting him and forgetting Sesshomaru for a moment. Raganos stared down at her in utter hatred.

 

“He is worthless! He cannot give you anything any more. Why have you not birthed more?” he said in anger.

 

“I have a very weak uterus.” She said looking away.

 

“Not if you carry your own kind. You were uppyr and you had no business mixing with a foul animal daemon! You will give me what I want Augusta or you will die a second time.” He said pushing himself away from her.

 

“How dare you! You think I will give you another child? I cannot bear anymore babes! He would not have made it Shouten! He was weak within my womb as it was. I was already starting to miscarry; I rid myself before I could. You think you know me so well!” she said in a sneer.

 

“Then we shall see what can be done for you. I will have a child from this body of yours.” He said in contempt.

 

“Why?” she cried.

 

“Because as much as it galls me to say this; I fell for you. I LOVE YOU! That filthy dog has no business touching this goddess.” He said in a terrible tone.

 

“This is how you love?” she asked in disgust.

 

“My wife was a perfect woman. I would have done anything for her and the uppyr decimated my home. She died before my son fell and I had nothing else to loose!” he growled.

 

“When did this happen?” she asked.

 

“Within a few years of the uppyr moving into my lands! They are not innocent Augusta. They are bloody murderers the same as any Shouten!” he declared.

 

“Who led the group that came into Kazhaktan?” she asked softly.

 

“A man named Stasio. I hated that bastard with a passion. I heard he died a heinous death a few centuries ago.” He said smirking.

 

She back stepped and her chest was heaving. He looked at her funny and she realized he may have bound them but he had not delved as deeply as he had thought. She stared at him when she realized what her father had truly done. He had set the uppyr and Shouten against the other.

 

“You knew this beast then?” Raganos demanded.

 

“Hai.” She whispered.

 

“How?” he asked suspiciously.

 

“He was my father.” She said looking away.

 

“What?” he asked shocked.

 

“Hai. My mother was Danika Novak and my father was Stasio Orlovich; Prince of Novgorod.” She said in a hoarse tone.

 

He stared at her and he could feel her horror at her words. Danika had been a succubus of fame and her father a tyrant. He stepped near her and he pulled on her memories. She gasped in pain but the Shouten ruler became utterly wrathful at her putrid memories.

 

“You will tell me everything.” He demanded.

 

“NO! I have no wish to relive those horrid memories.” She cried.

 

“You will have no choice.” He said grabbing her roughly.

 

She sucked in her breath as he sank his fangs into her neck. She sagged against him and he pried open her powerful telepathic mind.

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

She was hiding yet again as she heard terrible screams of fear come from the common area. She stared at her twin brother and they closed their eyes. She suddenly grabbed his hand and she ported them into the countryside. They began running as fast as their tiny legs could carry them. She ended up tripping over her long skirt and she landed in the mud.

 

“Viktor go!” she yelled.

 

They knew what happened when their father was done. They both knew what brutality was and they tried to hide. They would escape his gluttonous lust half the time.

 

“Elizaveta get up!” her twin said as he hauled her up.

 

“Viktor, he is close! Go! He will not hurt you this time.” She said as her light brown eyes held fear.

 

“No Veta! Get up!” he said whining.

 

“Viktor go!” she yelled as she felt her father's aura nearby.

 

He looked at her in terror and he suddenly took off. She tried to scramble to her feet and she was hauled up against the robust uppyr that was her father.

 

“Well well my little nymph! Where is your putrid weakling of brother.” He said smirking cruelly.

 

“You will not hurt him this time! I hate you!” she snarled like a wild cat.

 

“Oh? Well my darling baby girl that is too bad because I love you.” He said in a disgusting tone.

 

Horrid pain erupted in her head and she screamed as blood began to drip from her nose. She was only ten and no one had shown her how to use her powers. Viktor and she had to fend for themselves most of the time. She struggled in vain as he suddenly sank his fangs into her tender throat. He would drain her almost to death and leave her there. If she lived then she was lucky. So far she had survived every assault. A single tear fell down her cheek as she slid down to the cold and muddy ground.

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

She stood in the court of the Tepest and she was shoved forward by her mother. She stared back at the beautiful woman who had birthed her but she hardly ever saw. She saw an elegant man of incredible beauty that had black eyes. He smirked down at her as she bowed before him.

 

“Well Danika you said she was quite lovely.” The Tepest said.

 

“Da. She is quite lovely. She is also a fire starter.” Danika said with a seductive grin.

 

She wanted to vomit at her mother pimping her out like a piece of meat. She was furious and she was coming off another punishment. She had been starved for a month and she had killed a mortal in her crazed hunger. She was still young but she was coming into her own. She went through the whole charade at Vlad's behest and she was finally allowed to leave the court. For once she was not being watched and she ported away. She went to the countryside of Romania and watched the evening stars. She was used to the brutality and the use of her body but she refused to give them her mind. Whenever she could she would defy her father and she was beaten often and many times she would take it for Viktor as well. She was only older then him by minutes but she felt like the older sibling. She heard a noise and she jerked her head around. A young man jumped back and he stared at her with warm brown eyes.

 

“Hi.” He mumbled.

 

“Leave me alone.” She snapped.

 

“Why are you out here all alone?” he asked softly.

 

“Why are you bothering me?” she growled at him.

 

“I am sorry. I am here alone often and I get lonely.” He admitted.

 

“It must be nice!” she said in anger.

 

“I am sorry to bother you.” He said bowing and he turned to leave.

 

“What is your name Romanian?” she asked in contempt.

 

“I am Jarek. What is your name Russian?” he asked softly.

 

“Augusta.” She said refusing to use the name that HE called her.

 

“Hello Augusta.” He said sitting a little ways away from her on the log.

 

“Did I ask you to stay?” she asked in annoyance.

 

“Well I figure this way; I can stay till you make me leave. Angry company is better then none at all.” He said as he stared into the distance.

 

“It sounds like your parents are just as delightful as mine are.” She said in contempt.

 

“My father is an important man. I know why he leaves me here but my mother died awhile ago.” He said wringing his hands.

 

“How old are you?” she asked.

 

“I am seventy nine. How old are you?” he asked.

 

“I am ninety four.” She replied.

 

“Wow. I meet so few young uppyr.” He said smiling a little.

 

She did not want to like him. She did not want to talk with him but she ended up sitting there the whole night talking to him. She found out that no one cared about her much while she was at the Tepest's castle. She began to steal away to see Jarek often. They began to sit in the fields surrounding Buda and Pest. She was lying on her back and he was too. They were staring at each other as they talked. His black hair fell around his eyes and she moved it away gently. He met her eyes again and he sat up to lean over her.

 

“Augusta, you never tell me where you are from.” He said softly.

 

“Does it matter?” she asked looking away.

 

“Maybe not.” He sighed.

 

She looked back at him and the sight stole her breath. She reached up and pulled him down to her lips. He let out a surprised yelp as she began working her lips against his. He quickly lost any shyness and began to kiss her in return. Jarek held his father in awe and always dismissed the rumors he heard. This woman was something he looked forward to everyday and his chest hurt as their passionate kiss took on unfamiliar tones to him. He pulled back and he stared at her. Her eyes were red and he was surprised.

 

“Wha-what is going on?” he asked in surprise.

 

“Have you never been with a woman?” she asked surprised.

 

“No.” he said blushing.

 

She learned forward and pushed him back gently. He watched her as she slowly removed her bodice and undid her bindings. His breath caught as he took in her creamy white skin and curves. She smiled at him and she leaned over him. She teased his lips for a moment and then nuzzled his neck. He stiffened as her fangs sank into his throat. Pleasure unlike anything he had known consumed him and he cried out.

 

“Oh my God!” he moaned.

 

She took in just a small bit of blood and she leaned back. She smiled down at him and he had gotten a sampling of what it could be. Augusta had no idea what real pleasure was. She knew pain and terror but to feel his lips against hers felt wonderful. His chest was heaving as he took in her form.

 

“Augusta?” Jarek asked.

 

“Da?” she asked in reply.

 

“What are we doing?” he asked.

 

“I want this.” She said softly.

 

“I do too but is it not wrong before we are married?” he asked shocked.

 

“Oh please.” She stated as she unhooked her skirt.

 

Jarek tried to calm his heated blood but she leaned over him again but this time she offered him a pink nipple and he took it into his mouth. She mewled above him and he rolled them. He was so aroused and so incredibly hard at the moment. He lavished her breast and she cried out. She pressed his thoughts and he was surprised. He slipped his fangs into her plush flesh and she gasped hard as she arched against him. Her blood was laced with incredible power and he was shocked. Females were usually not as strong as the men but this woman was. Her blood tasted divine and he suckled her hard. She began shaking against him as she experienced a rush.

 

“Jarek! Oh please, please!” she whined out.

 

He lifted his black head and stared at her in shock. Her face was flushed and she was arching and withering. Her hands went to his breeches and he was surprised again at her boldness. She freed him from his pants and she wrapped her hand around him. He shut his dark brown eyes and moaned as she explored him. She surged up and pushed him flat on his back and she began tasting him.

 

“Augusta! God! I beg you.” He rasped.

 

They were both desperate and hot as she lifted her head. His eyes were red like hers and she met his lips violently. They battered the other's tongue as they scrambled to join. She straddled him and sank down on him hard. He cried out as he was taken for the first time. She did not wait to move and Augusta rocked back and forth. Jarek cried out as she began doing things with her telekinesis. He grabbed her hips to guide her as they made love. He sat up quickly and took her throat into his mouth. He had a sudden blood lust and he sank his fangs down hard. She screamed as her walls clamped down on him hard. His reddened eyes widened as he too culminated. Augusta heard a gurgled moan at her throat as she experienced her first real acute pleasure in the act.

 

“Jarek!” she moaned.

 

She felt him pull back and stare at her for a moment and their lips collided. This was right and this was beautiful in her eyes.

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

Blood oozed from the many bite marks littering her naked skin. She had defied him again and she was being bled into compliance. She had been chained to the dungeon wall as her own father took perverse pleasure in her pain.

 

“You have really put me in an awkward position little girl. You have bedded the son of our ruler.” Stasio said in calculating tone.

 

“I did not know!” she cried out.

 

“Well you were not supposed to fuck anyone else except who I told you to. He wants your hand and Vlad thinks it is a good idea. I on the other hand had you promised to a Korean. Have I not given you EVERYTHING Elizaveta?” he demanded spitting in her face.

 

“You bring no one anything! You are depraved and sick, you sorry fat bastard!” she snarled at her father.

 

“Oh daughter you are not very smart.” Stasio said smirking cruelly.

 

She felt the knife to her throat and he dragged it across her larynx. She choked and no sound came out. Her vision swam and she prayed to God that maybe this was it this time. Maybe her suffering would stop and she could rest. She was so hungry that she could not think and could not react. She felt herself being flung to the ground and to her horror; she was not dying. He was torturing her and when he raped her for the umpteenth time; she stayed deep within her own mind. She was left on the dungeon floor to possibly die. Silent tears fell from her eyes as she realized what she had seen within her father's mind. He was planning to betray Vlad. She could not reconcile the gentle young man and the uppyr leader. Augusta prayed for death, she sought death so she could not bring harm to her lover. She had no idea how long she laid there but the hunger pangs were causing madness to consume her. She ended up dragging herself forward weakly and lifted her hand. She stared at flesh that looked old and leathery. She was horrified for a moment but the sickening hunger consumed her thoughts completely. She managed her way out of the dungeon and to her surprise…it was not locked. She stole away into the snow covered darkness of the Russian night.

 

She came upon the first thing she could sense blood in. She fell upon the hapless mortal child and sank her fangs into his throat. She snarled as she could taste the hot, potent elixir coat her throat. She drank him completely dry and feasted upon the hapless creature. She was still mindless as she began hunting like a depraved monster. Her mind was gone as she worked to feed the insatiable hunger that consumed her. She burned things when provoked and she stared at Novgorod below and hatred filled her veins. She stared at her father's small but lavish palace. She screamed loudly into the night and the small city began to burn. Augusta Elizaveta Orlovich watched as they immortal flames licked and consumed the hated place of her birth. All the torture and all of the depravity poured out of her and more flames consumed. She saw people screaming and she saw others burning alive. She was still a monstrous husk of an uppyr and she knew she must be a frightful sight as those ran below her to escape her wrath. She saw her sire quite a ways away and she saw Viktor. The other younglings were running behind them and she ported so fast that she appeared in front of her hated father. He jumped back when he saw her appearance and a grin plastered his arrogant face.

 

“You will let them go!” she screamed.

 

“You have gone mad! You think I will give up my chattel?” Stasio snickered.

 

“You sick son of a whore! You will give me my siblings! You did not sire them!” she said stalking him in a circle.

 

“What and give up my greatest pleasures? No Elizaveta.” Stasio said frowning.

 

He yelped out in tremendous pain as his eldest child stared at him with maddened red eyes. Her fangs were lengthened and she looked more than dangerous. She truly looked like a monster and he smiled. He knew she was powerful and he still needed to figure out how to harness it. The very small bit of wraith blood in her caused his child to be more powerful then the average uppyr. Danika was quite the woman herself but Elizaveta outshined his beautiful lover. She came at him and veins in his began breaking. He chuckled in delight as she snarled and spit at him.

 

“Viktor! Take the babes and be gone!” she screamed at her twin.

 

She barely registered the look he gave her and she threw him with her mind. He was cowering as he always did. She would not be able to fight him off for long and she would have to retreat. She jumped backwards and landed in a crouching position.

 

“You will not have these babes as long as I breathe! You will die FATHER! You will die horribly!” she snarled.

 

“In your dreams only my pet!” he laughed.

 

He actually screamed as veins in his temple began to throb visibly. He clutched his chest as he felt it squeezed painfully. He watched in horror as his daughter closed in on him and he felt her fangs rip open his throat painfully. She tore through his flesh as if she was eating it and she spit a chunk of his skin out of her mouth. He fell to the ground bleeding and she ported away. She had never been so violent in her life and she felt empowered. The blood of her father dripped down her chin and she walked slowly into the darkness.

Raganos slowly released his grip and he too was horrified at the treatment of this woman. Somewhere in the genes of this woman, she carried wraith blood too. She stared up at him and tears streamed down her face.

 

“Let me love you and you will never know pain or suffering again.” He whispered hoarsely.

 

“Raganos stop.” She said in a quivering voice.

 

“You are of my kind too Augusta. You are of my people! Gods woman; I get lost in your eyes and I see your soul. Let me love you!” he demanded.

 

He was whispering harshly and his lips neared hers as he mumbled. She cried out as the softness of his mouth touched hers. She whimpered softly as he kissed her with such passion and conviction. He lifted her up and they fell against a wall. Her sharp cries filled the room as he took her slowly. Raganos could not think as he actually made love to this woman. He felt her claws drag down his back and he stiffened against her as she sank her fangs into the side of his throat. She groaned loudly as they melded. The wraith ruler felt home and he felt such powerful things when he was together with her. Neither noticed the presence of another nearby. Thei's chest heaved in hatred and she had suggested he turn her in order for the uppyr to die. She had somehow survived and she had become more powerful. She would have to be careful and bide her time. She would aid the dog in getting his whore back and she would show Raganos where his loyalties would lie.

Hibari was in the Western Palace and she was overseeing the repairs for her jii-chan. The great inu lord was not himself and he practiced in the dojo day and night. She shivered a little and she knew HE was near. She could not believe herself but she fled the palace walls. She was shaking a little in anticipation as she entered the woods around the inu lands. Her breath caught as she felt ghostly brushes against her skin and she closed her eyes as she felt his presence. She whimpered ever so softly as she felt a brush of cold against her lips.

 

“Do not torture me Arturo.” She whined.

 

“You want my touch?” she heard in her ear.

 

“Hai.” She whispered.

 

He appeared behind her and pulled her to his body. He leaned down and scented her hair. The sakura scent hit his sensitive nose and he snorted softly in appreciation. He had taken her last time in her bath tub that had been filled with the alluring smell.

 

“Did you bathe in the scent again?” he said as his breath ghosted along her throat.

 

“Hai.” She said as her breath quickened.

 

“My beautiful lover. You shiver for my touch and you weep for my closeness.” He stated licking along her ear.

 

“Hai! Do not make me beg.” She cried out.

 

“You want me to fill you? Do you enjoy this cold body?” he demanded.

 

Hibari's eyes rolled back in her head as her lover touched and caressed her now wanton body. He enjoyed the mastery he had over her and he sought every day. Her body was thrumming in intense need and he chuckled softly. He took great pleasure in her and he found her addictive. Arturo suddenly stiffened and he made a very angry noise. She felt it too and looked around.

 

“Stay here.” He commanded.

 

“Pardon?” she asked.

 

“We are being interrupted and I intend to make you beg me for more.” He said bluntly.

 

Her eyes widened and he was gone. She looked around and she knew that whatever it was; there was more than one. She decided to try and head back to the palace when she saw the beautiful shinigami from a couple of weeks ago.

 

“Well, well if it is not the pretty youkai.” He said looking at her.

 

“You are known as Yumichikia?” she asked.

 

“Hai. My you look downright stunning.” He said smirking.

 

“You did not answer if you liked men.” She said watching him closely.

 

“I like anything that is beautiful.” He replied vainly.

 

“Oh my Kamis what the hell are you?” she asked almost amused.

 

“I have been watching you and it seems as a powerful Arrancar has taken an interest in you. I am here to question you.” He said nearing her.

 

“Haul your shinigami ass out of my jii-chan's lands!” she said in anger.

 

“Not until you answer my questions I am afraid.” He said in a licentious way.

 

He was behind her immediately and she ended up driving her elbow into his gut. He winced but held onto her. She knew Arturo was close and she snarled suddenly to try and get him off of her. She surged her yoki through her hand and Yumichikia was thrown backwards. Hibari had a form of the Supaida Nami and it could be quite powerful. The shinigami stared at her in surprise and he pulled his zanpakuto.

 

“I do not want to fight! I abhor it!” she cried.

 

“Well then lady youkai you will fall.” He replied as he crouched a little.

 

She extended her hand and a naginata appeared. His eyes widened in surprise and it occurred to him that he would have to use his shikai. She moved so fast that he had to back step. She used her weapon with grace and obvious skill as she took off a little bit of his hair. He grew pissed that his perfect coif should be messed up and he sneered.

 

“Ruri'iro Kujaku sakikurue!” he commanded of his blade.

 

Hibari watched as vine like feathers of spiritual energy. She swiped at the energy vines and suddenly they flared and connected to her. She yelped in surprise as she fell to the ground.

 

“I surprised you. I have a feeling that it would have been a close contest but I fight to win. I am sorry beautiful one but I have to ask you questions.” He said as he knelt next to her.

 

Her yoki was being drained slowly and she noticed energy flowers beginning to bloom. She stared at him as proceeded to sit next to her.

 

“Now what does the Arrancar want?” he asked.

 

“He wants revenge.” She gasped.

 

“Against Soul Society?” he asked.

 

“Hai.” She said getting utterly exhausted.

 

“What does the Arrancar want with you?” he asked bluntly.

 

“He enjoys me.” She stated trying to stay awake.

 

“So he is using you for sex. Interesting but do you enjoy it?” Yumichika asked raising a feathered brow.

 

“Arturo makes sure I am pleased.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Well that is his name. I do not like him and you are far too beautiful to be touched by a foul hollow.” He said running a slender finger along her jaw.

 

“What do you want?” she asked.

 

“Only information but since you are here.” He said leaning down and pressing his lips to hers.

 

She groaned heavily as what seemed an electric current passed between them. He pulled back and he seemed surprised. She had lost almost every ounce of energy she possessed and he muttered something and the vines slowly withdrew back into his weapon. He hauled her up to stare into her heavily lidded eyes.

 

“What did you do?” he asked.

 

“Nothing. You have drained my yoki.” She said with slightly parted lips.

 

He lowered his lips again and she moaned softly as he kissed her more deeply. Quivering began in her belly and she felt a sudden and intense pull. After several minutes of making him and her mindless he pulled back.

 

“Kamis your lips are divine.” He muttered.

 

“You would use me as well?” she managed.

 

“You asked if I was a homosexual. I do not see sex; I see beauty.” He stated.

 

“I care not at the moment. Lay me down please. You and your friend have driven Arturo away. My jii-chan's men will find me.” She said closing her mahogany eyes.

 

“Ikkaku is really good at what he does. Say you will allow me to see you.” He demanded.

 

“What?” she asked shocked.

 

“Let me see you.” He said nearing her face.

 

“I do not care.” She said falling asleep.

 

He stood up and stared down at the beautiful woman and he felt stirred deeply. Ikkaku came to stand beside him and stared down at the sleeping youkai.

 

“She is pretty.” He muttered.

 

“No Ikkaku. She is almost as beautiful as I am. Something happened when I kissed her.” He said looking at her.

 

“Whatever. Did you get the information we needed?” the bald shinigami asked.

 

“Hai I got it. Come on.” Yumichika said as they disappeared.

 

Hibari was out for awhile and she finally woke up to the dead of night. She managed to stand and she picked up her naginata. She absorbed it back into her yoki and she walked slowly back towards the palace. She still felt weak but she could not forget the kiss between her and the shinigami. She pulled on her remaining yoki and ported to the Den Aqua Lounge. She appeared in the office and there stood Yumichika in street clothes. She could see the outlines of a very lean body and he had an elegant air about him. She stared at him dumfounded and he stepped forward.

 

“I asked and you said you did not care.” He said smiling.

 

“You drained me of my yoki and you have the nerve to show up here?” she asked in anger.

 

“Hai. Vain I know but I am obsessed with knowing more about you.” He stated smirking.

 

“Oh my Kamis you are an arrogant son of a bitch! You want to know me?” she asked in fury.

 

“Hai.” He shrugged.

 

“I go on with my life in relative peace and all of sudden a damn Arrancar shows up and you shinigami wreck havoc in my family's life! You know what? All of you otherworld creatures can rot in Hades as far as I care!” she said shoving him.

 

He grabbed her hands and pulled her to him. She was truly breathless as he pulled her flush. There was chemistry and she just did not understand how her ordered life had been become a convoluted mess. For a moment she did not care and allowed him to kiss her and the same current passed between them. An old American song flitted through her brain about forbidden passion and bedding a stranger. Somehow she ended up on her desk with her skirt bunched around her waist. She was wildly undoing his own belt and jeans to get to him and now. She felt dirty and like a whore but Kamis if this did not feel perfect at the moment. She managed to look down and she gasped. His cock was hard and he was breathing harshly into her ear.

 

“You are not gay.” She said stupidly.

 

“No.” he said jerking her jaw and making her look at him.

 

He pulled her to the edge of her desk and he pushed himself into her. She cried out softly as she was stretched. He felt utterly incredible but what was worse is that he felt like the perfect fit. She was mortified but she could not stop her passionate cries and she lay back on her immaculate desk. Yumichikia was lost in her feel but by the Kamis she felt too perfect and her body was more beautiful then he had seen in an onna. Her face showed her pleasure in this and her walls were clutching him tightly. Yumichika squeezed his eyes shut as they reached bliss almost at the same time. Hibari clung to him and she was appalled at her behavior.

 

“I am not like this! I am not a whore!” she said suddenly.

 

“You think yourself a whore?” he asked surprised.

 

“I do not know you!” she snarled softly.

 

“Well then I can remedy that.” He said smiling.

 

She stared at him and his cocky grin made her burn more. She had never been an overly amorous onna and now she felt like a brazen hussy. He leaned in and nipped her lips again and she let out a surprised squeak. She knew her staff must have heard her cries and she allowed herself to be kissed silly by this obviously experienced man. He finally released her lips and licked his. He pulled back and straightened his immaculate clothing. She put her legs on the ground and sighed as she walked over to a side board to pour some scotch.

 

“What the hell is going on here?” she asked looking over her shoulder.

 

“Chemistry. I am not one to deny primal instincts. I would think as a youkai that you would not either.” He said watching her.

 

“You have been watching me too.” She said in sudden realization.

 

“Hai well I felt the Arrancar attack on you. You realize he uses you to feed.” Yumichika said bluntly.

 

“What I do in my own bedroom is my business.” Hibari remarked.

 

“But when it helps the Arrancar then as a shinigami it becomes my business.” He said stepping closer.

 

“I swear you feel right.” She said looking away.

 

“Then why question it?” he asked.

 

“Do you hear yourself shinigami?” she asked in a shocked tone.

 

“Yumichika. My name is Yumichika.” He stated.

 

“Alright Yumichika. You are brazen at best and a fool at worst.” She said sighing

 

You wish to deny this?” he asked crossing his arms.

 

“No but I also intend to be smart. This is not smart.” She said looking down.

 

“It will be alright my dear. I do realize that my beauty is intoxicating but you will be fine.” He said watching.

 

She released a snorting sound and she heard a knock on the door. She answered and one of her servers came in.

 

“Hai Kai?” she asked in a tired tone.

 

“Just making sure you were okay Miss Matsuda.” The inu said eyeing Yumichika.

 

“I am fine Kai.” She said looking away.

 

“Just wanted to make sure. May I ask how my Lord Sesshomaru-sama is?” he asked.

 

“My jii-chan misses his lady very much.” Hibari said looking away.

 

“Please convey my family's deep loyalty and please tell him that he has my katana.” Kai said.

 

Hibari stared at the young inu and she bowed deeply to the noble. She stared up at him very touched and he bowed to her. He stepped back and left her office. She looked back at Yumichika as he neared her.

 

“There is going to be a reckoning with the Arrancar and Aizen. This winter will be a huge war and I hope you are on the right side.” He said brushing fingertips along her cheeks.

 

“I will be on the side of the Western House whatever that may be.” She said looking at him.

 

“Then I hope your family makes the right choice. When may I see you?” he asked bluntly.

 

“I do not know. I guess when you have time.” Hibari stated blushing.

 

“Then until I see you again Miss Matsuda.” He said taking her hand and kissing the top of knuckles.

 

He slipped out of her office and she stared at the door. She was in utter shock and knew Arturo would find her. That thought frightened her and she suddenly ported to Sendai. She had enough rutting for one night and she would be surrounded by some of the most powerful youkai ever.

Hanaj was on the outskirts of his homeland and he could hear and sense the woman who had bound them so tightly. She knew exactly where he was and he found it irritating and he made sure she knew it. He turned and saw her leaning against a tree. His breath caught a moment as he caught sight of her attire. She was going to make him fall completely for her and he felt helpless.

 

“I make you helpless?” she asked.

 

“Yes! You make me feel helpless.” He said challenging her.

 

“I asked you not to come back here.” She said coldly.

 

“You are a fool Asuna! You have no idea what my people can do truly! I have no wish to be apart of that but you are asking for an open invitation of an invasion.” He stated sighing.

 

“Your brother waltzed into my sire's palace and walked right out with my mother! He somehow managed to subdue one of the most powerful female uppyr in their history. My sire did not fight back simply because he was trying to get mercy for her but your bastard sibling destroyed her!” Asuna said stalking up to her.

 

“I hate him as much as you do, you know that now but he is still my brother!” Hanaj said looking away.

 

“I killed two grandmeres and one grandsire because they were evil. I care not what the relation but I will destroy those that destroy my family.” She said grabbing his shoulders.

 

“He is still my brother.” Hanaj stated stubbornly.

 

“I know how to hold you Hanaj. I will force you onto the physical plane.” She threatened.

 

“That would eventually cause my death and you know it!” he said glaring at her.

 

“Better that then defending that mass murderer.” The inu princess said coldly.

 

“Why did you do this?” he asked in controlled fury.

 

“Because you are good.” She said shrugging.

 

“Such a wonderful reason to tie me to you. There is no feeling behind it and I swore I would never be fully bound until I was in love.” He said back stepping.

 

“You leave Hanaj and I will make you regret it. I will rein such destruction on the Shouten that you will not ever step foot here again!” she said in anger.

 

“Gods damn it woman!” he snarled.

 

Asuna met his silver eyes and he hissed in anger as well. He refused to hurt her because she carried a babe but he wanted to slap her silly at the moment. He could not believe it but he felt tremendous lust come from her at his standing up to her. She grabbed him into her arms and kissed him deeply. Her emotions were a tidal wave and he ended pushing her against a tree. Their chemistry was unreal and blood spilt from their lips as they battled the other. He was loosing self control quickly as they continued to kiss. He suddenly jerked away from her when he felt a familiar aura. She looked around in surprise. Hanaj looked around for Lhaes, the baby of the Tr'Awnhi house.

 

“Little brother! Come out!” Hanaj hissed.

 

A young looking Shouten appeared amongst the wilds of the area and stared at his older brother. There stood a woman of immense beauty and he was in awe for a moment.

 

“Raganos is looking for you.” He sputtered.

 

“What kind of mood is he in?” Hanaj asked raising a brow.

 

“Really pissed off.” Lhaes stated.

 

“When is he not?” Hanaj griped.

 

“Brother, you really need to come home.” The young wraith stated.

 

“Do not dare Hanaj!” Asuna said growling.

 

“Brother, why is she ordering you about as if you are a commoner?” Lhaes asked.

 

“Lhaes, who she is, does not matter okay? I will return shortly to the palace.” He said looking at her with a cold look.

 

Lhaes bowed to his older brother and stepped in a mist that he produced. Hanaj turned to Asuna and he lost his temper. He did slap her and she growled at him loudly. She slapped him in return and they started in on the other. He had not realized when he laid eyes on this woman that she would dominate his life so soundly. They ended up wrestling to the ground and quite bloodied. The Shouten prince was determined to make her submit. His plan was not working out well and they ended up in tangled limbs and massive passion. He could not catch his breath and her eyes were closed as she came down from the bliss.

 

“I have to go back.” He said breathlessly.

 

“Hanaj no!” she said in anger once more.

 

“Asuna! Be reasonable and think like a tactician. I have to return and soon.” He said trying to appeal to her intelligence.

 

“You had better return by tomorrow or I will retrieve you myself and it will not be pretty!” she threatened.

 

“How do you even think to tell me what to do?” he asked in irritation.

 

“I hate him. I hate him so much that I would smother you to destroy him!” she growled.

 

“Fantastic.” He muttered.

 

He produced a mist and disappeared before she could complain anymore. He could feel her ire and he pushed it out of his mind. He was filthy as he entered his home and he felt his elder brother almost immediately. He sighed and turned to face the music. Raganos stared at his younger brother and glared at him.

 

“Where have you been?” he demanded.

 

“In all honesty, I have been busy finding myself an agreeable partner okay?” Hanaj snapped.

 

Raganos chuckled and waited on his brother to fall into step beside him. Hanaj grumbled and walked beside him. Hanaj was startled suddenly when he caught a fleeting glimpse of Lady Augusta Orlovich. He turned to stare at his brother and Raganos looked smug.

 

“What did you do?” Hanaj demanded.

 

“I turned her.” His elder brother stated raising a black brow.

 

“Are you insane? You gave her Shouten abilities on top of her uppyr ones?” he asked in disbelief.

“I made it to where she will not disobey me again.” Raganos growled.

 

“My Gods brother! You are insane over this woman!” Hanaj said in complete shock.

 

“You have no idea what I think or feel Hanaj so shut it or I will shut it for you.” His elder brother stated.

 

“You are forcing her to stay here still!” Hanaj accused.

 

“There are things you do not understand about that family little brother. Augusta's father was Stasio Orlovich! The atrocities he committed extended to his own family as well as to ours.” Raganos said a terrible whisper.

 

“What does that have to do with now brother? I have understood him to be dead.” Hanaj said confused.

 

“The dog's house has a shinigami-Tengu that can bend time quite easily as easily as we do the doorways between the planes. This woman was never revenged and this bastard will answer for what he has done.” Raganos stated with malice.

 

“You really are in love with her!” Hanaj said in total shock.

 

“Yes!” Raganos growled.

 

“Brother, seriously if you love her then it is not right to keep her here against her will. You have to convince and woo her away from the dog to gain her loyalty. From what you have told me and what I have gleaned; she is the strongest full female uppyr that has lived. The inu-uppyr woman is even more powerful.” Hanaj remarked.

 

“You know you are actually correct. I want to see that same devotion she has for the dog.” Raganos said under his breath.

 

Raganos suddenly quit Hanaj's presence and went to his massive bedroom. Augusta was sprawled across the bed and her hair surrounded her. His heart caught and his possessive nature reared its head but he forced himself to calm down. He came in and sank on the bed; she turned her head and stared at him with her light brown eyes.

 

“I want you to go. I hold you here no longer.” Raganos stated softly.

 

“What?” she asked surprised.

 

“You heard me. Get going.” He said standing.

 

“How can you shield from me?” she asked sitting up.

 

“I am well versed in my powers Augusta.” He said softly.

 

His face showed his disdain and she got on her knees. She touched his cheek and it was gentle. He felt fingertips along his jaw and his dark eyes closed.

 

“Please do not. I am allowing you passage and this does help.” He said in a soft growl.

 

She went to kiss him softly and she ended up nuzzling his neck. All thoughts ended as her fangs found his throat. She dipped into his mind and she ported them to his bathtub. They ended up in the water, clothes and all. Augusta caused his clothes to disappear as well as her own and he was surprised. His eyes became clouded as she moved against him wantonly. He shattered with a powerful release not long after and his eyes were closed.

 

“I have to go.” She said softly.

 

“Yes. Go please.” He said thinly.

 

He watched her disappear into a thin mist and he decided to make the best use of the absence of her. He stood up and went to his closets and pulled out silk and cotton clothing. He would find the Tengu shinigami and force her to visit the past. He would cause all manner of ill for the bitterest enemy he had besides the uppyr king and he knew he had plenty of time to deal with Vlad Tepest.
