A/n: Thank you so much for the thoughts and this end of this chapter is dedicated to someone .

It looks as though this story will be quite long as I intend to keep winding the story more and the past from between Moon and Heirs will be fully told. I fully intend to take advantage of the characters from Tekeshi to Yuudai. We cannot have them back and nothing done with them. Sesshomaru is going to be playing a much bigger role in upcoming chapters as his old fury (aka like the days of Naraku and the Shikon no Tama.) reaches a fever pitch. Our favorite inu lord is gonna quit being so nice and be the bad ass that he is. I would like some thoughts about some stories I am kicking around. The plot bunnies will not stop and I would like to know who besides Asuna YOU want to know more about. I have a back story on every character and some are begging to be written…you tell me and I will flesh them out so to speak. The story is going to get more complicated and more convoluted…I warn you now. LOL.

Again thanks so much for reading and as always I love to hear your thoughts. Please read and review if you please!

Noble Houses

Captain Kuchiki was so agitated that he almost lashed out at the stupidity of his subordinates. His wife had been taken and he was getting to the point of acting on his own.

“Lieutenant Abarai!” he said in his low tone.

“Hai Captain?” he asked.

“I am leaving. You are in charge.” He said.

He started to walk away and Renji yelled after him. He was tired of waiting on the Captain General to do something and he went to his home. Yuji was in the real world and he produced a gate. He knew he would be censored but he could not stand the idea of Aizen near his wife. He walked into the penthouse owned by Mizuki and Karu. Karu was feeding Yuji and Yukiko as he came in.

“About time you got here Byakuya.” Karu snapped.

“I miss her as well my friend. Fighting between us will not bring her back sooner.” The Sixth squad captain stated.

“Gomenasai. I hate this! I hate that Lady Asuna has dictated we wait.” He said in anger.

“I do not intend to wait. You and I are powerful and I intend to get our wife back.” Byakuya stated bluntly.

Karu nodded and he picked up his baby girl and proceeded to burp her. She had ebony hair like Mizuki and him and had black eyes. She bore the Western crest but otherwise looked quite like a kumo. Yuji waved his chubby hands at his sire and Byakuya picked up his tiny son.

“Will Lady Ayana watch our children?” he asked.

“Yeah of course she will. Ayana has become completely motherly since she mated the shinigami. They are expecting their second.” Karu said shaking his head.

“Very good.” Byakuya answered.

“Thanks.” Karu muttered.

“I hate the paper shuffling that exists within Soul Society and Mizuki will suffer for it no longer.” He said in anger.

They stared at the other and they nodded slowly. Aizen would have to face Senbonzakura and Karu's own blade.

Asuna had fallen asleep on the floor of the Kyoto palace and she woke up in pain. She began vomiting again and she realized when she had taken in Grimmjow's blood that she had felt truly well. Tears welled up again as she remembered the night before. He was so angry and so full of wrath that she feared for him. She managed to stand and she ported to her beach house. She fell to the floor and Ichigo gasped. He was in the middle of dressing for school and she managed to pull herself forward.

“Sensei?” he asked as he knelt by her.

“Fought Arrancar.” She mumbled.

“You have got to stop this Asuna!” he said as he picked her up.

“Cannot stop.” She mumbled.

“I'm not gonna go to school today! You're as `/sick as fucking inu and I'm calling my dad.” He said laying her on the bed.

“Ichigo?” she asked softly.

“The kids are already at my dad's house okay?” he said as he felt her turmoil.

“I do not wish them to see me like this.” She said closing her eyes.

“Yuudai called this morning. Your mom showed up at the Western Palace.” He said palming her cheek.

“Thank the Kamis.” She muttered.

“Hai.” He stated softly.

Asuna stiffened at the same time as Ichigo did. Grimmjow was in the area and he stepped back and picked up his badge.

“Do not leave me Ichigo! There are other shinigami in the area.” She whispered.

“I'm gonna kick his fucking ass!” Ichigo said hatefully.

“I am not strong at the moment Ichigo.” She implored him.

He snarled in anger but he sat on the bed next to her. He lifted her head and she was burning up. His eyes widened and he slipped from the bed. He went to the kitchen and picked up the phone.

“Hai. Doctor Yamasaki? Hai this is Kurosaki Ichigo. Hai. She is here sir. She is sick as hell.” He said in a worried tone.

He listened carefully and literally moments later Nobu appeared from a shoki cloud. He stepped into the bedroom and he put his hands to her head.

“Thank you boy for contacting me.” He said softly.

“I can't loose her.” Ichigo said in a frightened tone.

“No one will loose her.” Nobu stated softly.

Nobu produced another shoki cloud and took her back to the hospital. He lifted her up and she looked way too pale.

“What is going on? I thought the wraith helped you?” he asked as he went about hooking up an IV.

“He did and I ran into you.” She whispered.

“What? Asuna what do you mean?” Nobu asked.

“You must have made yourself forget.” She laughed softly.

“What did you do?” he asked concerned.

“I found you in Vietnam. I was hunting the wraith king and I saw you in your true form. You smelled so good.” She said in a tired voice.

His eyes widened and it seemed like it was foggy for him. He narrowed his eyes and he lifted her up.

“We made love.” She laughed.

“Suna. You are littered with new wounds and I can see the wounds of a Shouten.” He said softly.

“I battled Raganos tr'Awnhi. He is the strongest wraith I have ever faced. I saw Grimmjow in the past as well. He was a Yamaneko and panther before. He was normal Nobu. He was a normal youkai at one time.” She murmured with tears in her eyes.

“Okay. I am going to do an ultra sound of the fetus.” He said gently.

She nodded and he was worried. The wraith poison was toxic as hell and he was worried for her health. He worked and ran the ultra sound transducer over her belly. He could see the fetus of the Arrancar and it was strong. He about fell over when he saw another. He put down the transmitter and put his ear to her belly and he suddenly felt crushing guilt.

“Why do you feel so bad Nobu?” she asked in her exhausted tone.

“Asuna what happened when you and I?” he asked dumbly.

“We made love silly. We normally do when we are alone.” She said laughing.

He pathed to Nanami and their daughter came in. She smiled to see her parents together and she sat on the bed. She could see the worry in her father's face and she picked up on his emotions.

“Haha! You look a mess! You have been battling again.” She murmured as she picked up the transducer as well.

She saw what her father saw and she shook a little. She kissed her mother's brow and she left the room. She went in search of Shinobu who was busy flirting with a nurse.

“Brother! I need you now.” She said as she came up behind him.

“What's up Nanami?” he asked.

“Shinobu, you are the internist and haha needs you.” She said as she dragged him along.

“Why are you shaking?” he demanded.

“Chichi got haha pregnant!” she hissed softly.

“What? When?” he asked shocked.

“Within the past week. He is broken up about it Shinobu. She is weak because of this damn Arrancar.” Nanami said in anger.

“Okay...we can do this Nami. We have not failed yet.” He said as he walked to his mother's room.

He found his father pacing outside and he looked guilty as hell. Shinobu patted his back and went into the room. His mother was sleeping at the moment and he took all of her vitals. He stepped back out and sighed.

“The Arrancar fetus is strong but it feeds off of haha like a damn leech. We have to figure a way to bind it and keep it from killing the other fetus.” Shinobu stated.

“The only way to bind the fetus is to bind haha.” Nanami said in horror.

“I am not suggesting binding her Nami. That Arrancar baby is gonna end up killing our sibling if I do not do something quickly. Chichi breathe please sir.” He said patting his sire's back.

“How can I? When she carried both of you, she surprised me with it! This! I am not prepared to loose her for a damn Arrancar.” Nobu said pushing down his anger.

“Chichi…the baby did not ask for this.” Nanami said.

“It is not a youkai Nami! It is a creature from another plane!” Nobu said in anger.

“You do not want her having it?” Nanami asked.

“No, I do not. Her body is not made to carry an Arrancar.” He said clenching his jaw.

“Well she is a mixed youkai already chichi. Having us did not war too much with her.” His daughter stated.

“She can carry a kumo babe. She can carry a ningen but not a damn hollow!” he said hatefully.

They watched their normally calm father stalk away. He was worried and horrified at the same time. Nanami sighed and stared at her older brother.

“I am going into Soul Society. They have magics and technologies that I might be able to use to suppress the Arrancar half of that baby.” Shinobu stated.

“Chichi is really upset.” Nanami stated.

“Yeah. When you were conceived…they had fought horribly and they ended up making up in a pretty good way. He felt bad but she would not let him. He was mad at her for something but he cried when you were born.” Shinobu said fondly.

“Really?” she asked smiling.

“Yeah. I remember when the Shouten Wars were going on. He always would say prayers for her. Nobuyuki and I would hide out and chichi would constantly pray for her. Nobuyuki would cry when she was gone.” He said sighing.

“It is sad he does not remember his birth mother.” Nanami said looking away.

“Why? Haha loved him and treated him no different.” Shinobu shrugged.

“Brother!” Nanami said in surprise.

“Whatever. I am gonna go.” Shinobu stated.

She sighed as she watched her gorgeous brother produce a shoki cloud. He had the black hair like their father and their mother's eyes. She knew he was going to Yuzuna who entered Soul Society all the time. She sighed and went back to their mother.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shinobu entered the Yuu Castle in the Western Palace complex and he found his older sister feeding her baby. She looked up at him and smiled. She truly was one of his favorite siblings besides Nanami. He flopped down on a chaise and a servant served him some water.

“Can I hitch a ride with you into Soul Society?” he asked.

“Hai. May I ask why?” Yuzuna asked her younger brother amused.

“Well haha has been herself and got impregnated by an Arrancar.” Shinobu said almost amused.

“Grimmjow.” Yuzuna said.

“How did you know?” he asked.

“They used the poor soul to try and trap haha. He was enamored with her then but he paid for the lie with his life almost.” Yuzuna said shuddering.

“Is he a good guy?” Shinobu asked.

“He is still a hollow Shinobu but there is something about him though. It is kind of like Ulquiorra with Rish and Lady Erena. They were both youkai at one time.” Yuzuna shrugged.

“Wow. Well I need to get to this Captain Kurotsuchi and see what the guy has in the way of dampening magics or technology.” Her brother said.

“We will go now.” She said holding her pup.

She produced the gate and they walked through. She went her way and her brother began walking to where she had pathed to him. He was enjoying the scenery and he moved along till he reached the twelfth division. He walked into the large building and he was met with a beautiful onna who seemed very demure. He cocked his head to the side and smiled a little.

“Hello there.” He said.

“Hello youkai.” She replied.

“Umm I am looking for Captain Kurotsuchi.” He said softly.

“I will take you to him.” She said as she stood.

He noticed really nice legs and a nice chest but he pretended to look disinterested. He followed her and made a mental note to flirt with her after the fact. He appeared before a creature that was painted and modified. Shinobu kept in his shock at the nasty looking being and he bowed.

“Captain Kurotsuchi my name is Doctor Yamasaki Shinobu.” He said in a neutral tone.

“Go Nemu!” the painted being screeched.

“Hai father.” The pretty onna stated.

“What do you want youkai?” the evil looking beast asked.

“I was told you had inventions and things that may be of use to me.” Shinobu stated.

“Like what?” Mayuri asked.

“I need something to bind or suppress spiritual pressure.” He said bluntly.

“Oh that easy.” Mayuri cackled.

“In a fetus?” Shinobu asked.

“What did you say?” the shinigami asked in a deep tone.

“I need something that will suppress spiritual pressure in a fetus.” Shinobu repeated carefully.

“Why would you need such a thing?” Mayuri asked carefully.

“That is not your business. Captain General Yamamoto is a particular friend of my mother's.” Shinobu stated with narrowed eyes.

“You are one of HER brats.” Mayuri stated.

“Hai.” Shinobu growled.

“Here.” He said throwing him a serum.

“Will this allow a fetus to grow or will you poison it?” Shinobu asked.

“That will suppress a spiritual being but I will need to provide the antidote after the thing is born.” He laughed.

“You are evil.” The youkai doctor said shuddering.

“I further research youkai. How is that evil? I do not let things like morality stand in my way!” Mayuri said cackling further.

“They say Aizen is evil.” He said walking away.

Shinobu decided to test the serum back at the hospital but he needed the Arrancar's blood. He was thinking about how to get it and made his way back to his sister.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He went to the red haired shinigami and Ichigo was more than willing to get blood from Grimmjow. He did not ask why but he knew the doctor needed it for something. Ichigo was ready and willing to go after Grimmshit and he pretty well figured out the bastard had gotten her knocked up. He refused to be daunted and intended to punish the Arrancar. He was fighting a regular hollow when he felt the Sexta Espada enter. He sliced through the Gillian class menos and took off after Grimmjow.

His mind was turning over where she could possibly be and he was in a blinding fury yet again. He felt the spiritual pressure of the shinigami and he turned and caught the brat's zanpakuto midair.

“Itching for ass kicking shinigami?” he asked with a wide grin.

“Hell yeah! You stupid prick!” Ichigo growled.

“Well that's more like it shinigami!” Grimmjow laughed.

They began battling and Ichigo was furious. He yelled bankai and he made his hollow mask appear. Grimmjow realized the kid was serious and he laughed manically.

“You're fucking killing her! You had to touch her!” Ichigo said with a horrendous yell.

“What the fuck are you going on about shinigami?” Grimmjow asked as he sidestepped a punch.

“You touched her! What'd you do knock her out?” Ichigo growled.

“What do you mean jackass?” Grimmjow asked thoroughly confused.

“Fuck you! I ain't loosing her to your brat!” Ichigo growled.

Grimmjow acted non-plussed but it seemed the kid wanted his blood. He actually allowed himself to be cut into and he hissed and knocked Ichigo to the ground.

“I didn't do a damn thing to that bitch she did not deserve!” he hissed down at Ichigo.

The young shinigami howled in anger but he used his sonido to disappear. He waited some ways away and saw the kid let another youkai wipe his blackish red blood off of the blade. He suppressed his anger and he waited around. He was agitated and he had to get back to Hueco Mundo. He would wait till the evening but he intended to find her.

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

Shinobu had the blood under a microscope and he was amazed. He used a drop of the serum and the blood's aura was dampened to nothing. It actually took on a more normal color of red. He pushed his stool back and he went to his mother. She was still weak but she was awake. She saw the smile on his face and looked at him funny.

“Well that freak shinigami is good for something. We are making this fetus a normal little guy for now.” He said as he produced a syringe and ultra sound.

“You can bind the babe?” Asuna asked.

“Yep. It is a boy by the way.” He said as he used the ultra sound to find the placenta.

“This will hurt haha but it will help you okay? My little sister in there needs her brother to chill out.” He joked.

“Thank you Shinobu.” She said closing her eyes.

“Chichi said you had been in the past again. When did you and him have time?” he asked amused.

“In the past.” She smiled.

“Goodness. Five century long booty call.” He snickered.

“SON!” she snapped.

“Sorry haha.” He said grinning.

She stared at her child and he injected into her abdomen a greenish liquid. She stopped breathing for a moment and gasped as horrendous pain filled her. She clutched the bed's rails and growled through the discomfort. She laid back and closed her eyes trying to fight the horrendous nausea. When he was done she rolled to the side and vomited. He called for a nurse and rubbed her back.

“You are gonna be okay haha. Now I imagine little man in there does not like how it feels but he will not drain you and my sister.” He said gently.

“Okay.” She said fighting the nausea once more.

“Ichigo was great by the way haha.” He said hugging her neck.

“He can be.” She said sighing.

She was cleaned up and her vitals checked but she appeared fine. She was hooked up to monitors and she fell asleep. She woke up a little while later to Ichigo standing there.

“When did he hurt you?” he demanded.

“I am not answering that.” She said looking away.

“He admitted he raped you! When!!!” Ichigo snarled.

“He did what?” she asked in anger.

“Hai. He admitted it. He said you deserved it. When did he hurt you sensei?” he asked grabbing her shoulders.

“Ichigo stop!” she yelled.

“I'm gonna fucking kill him! I will kill him for this.” Ichigo said storming away.

“Ichigo!” she yelled trying to get up.

She could not believe the Arrancar and she struggled with the monitors. She finally freed herself and she put on a gown. She walked out of her room slowly and tried to scent out her ningen mate. She ported out and appeared outside of the hospital and lifted her nose. She was grabbed by strong arms and whirled around. Grimmjow stared at her and he pressed his hand to her belly.

“What the fuck is going on?” he demanded.

“The babe was draining my energies.” She said softly.

“You okay?” he asked in a rough tone.

“I am fine.” She said meeting his eyes.

“Is it okay?” he asked narrowing his blue eyes.

“Hai it is a boy.” She stated.

He gently pulled her head back and he kissed her slowly. She whined a little as he possessed her and she ended up wrapping her arms around him. Grimmjow was almost shaking as he held her as close as he could get. He nipped at her lips several times and held her face between his palms.

“What the hell has been happening?” he asked her softly.

“I do not know what you mean?” she asked in return.

“This! Me! Kamis you're so beautiful.” He said almost harshly.

Her lips trembled a little and this being was threatening everything she had built for herself. She closed her eyes as he continued to hold her and tears slipped from her eyes. She felt his lips upon her cheeks and she was crushed to him.

“Grimmjow.” She whispered.

“Yeah?” he mumbled.

“Why did you let him think you had raped me?” Asuna asked.

“I didn't have to answer his damn questions.” He growled.

She tried to pull away but he would not let her go. They were exposed and out in the open here and she wanted to lie down. He turned her away from him but still held onto her tightly.

“I'm taking tonight to hold you.” He said in her ear in a very raspy tone.

“Okay.” She murmured.

She ported them to the Kyoto palace and he picked her up bridal style. He found a room and laid her down on the bed. Their eyes remained locked as he stripped from his white silks and settled in next to her. She sighed softly as she felt his cold skin against her heated flesh.

“Sleep.” He commanded.

“Why did you become this?” she asked softly.

“I'm what I am. Sleep.” He commanded again.

She closed her eyes and she actually felt safe for the moment. The hard planes of his body were pressed against her back and she fell to sleep. Grimmjow just held her and realized that whatever possessed him to do hang onto this onna would eventually kill him. He did not care and he held onto her as if she was life itself.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The family was still in an uproar and she still had customers to serve. Hibari was walking to different tables and checking on her patrons. She felt the cold and she knew she would be in trouble if caught. She had been seeing both Yumichikia and Arturo. She knew she was risking much but she liked them both too much to stop. She walked quickly to the back of her establishment and Arturo pulled her into his arms. They were kissing wildly and she felt his lips on her neck.

“Where have you been?” she demanded.

“Have you missed me my youkai goddess?” he asked chuckling in his cruel way.

“Hai! I have missed you.” She said porting them to her apartment.

His hands already busied themselves with undoing her silk dress. The red silk fell to the floor and she busied herself with his clothing as well. She was in his arms and he did not even make it to the bed. They crumpled to floor as he took her in intense need. She arched her body against his and he found himself desiring her at all times. He took her lips and demanded entrance to her sweet mouth.

“Arturo!” she hissed in pleasure.

“You are coming for me my sweet.” He said groaning.

“Hai!” she moaned as he flooded her with his seed.

He fell against her and went back to kissing her. Things in Hueco Mundo were quite interesting as absolutely nothing was happening. He finally released her lips so she could take a deep breath. Her eyes were closed as her body glowed in the aftermath.

“My sweet Hibari.” He stated as he slid from her center.

“Hai?” she mumbled sleepily.

“I think of you always.” He said as he nipped her tips and then her breasts.

“Do you?” she asked with eyes still closed.

“I am going to ask you something my goddess.” He stated in her ear.

“Hmm?” she asked looking at him.

“I want you to come with me to Hueco Mundo.” He stated.

“Why?” she asked coming awake.

He gave her a dirty look and sat back. She sat up and stared at him.

“Would it surprise you onna that I can love?” he asked.

“No it does not surprise me but I thought your plans did not allow for it.” She stated honestly.

“My plans will take awhile Hibari but I would have you with me.” He stated flatly.

“Arturo, I have a life here.” She said softly.

“I can give you children and a life Hibari.” He stated with a glare.

“I…” she said stunned.

“I will have you Hibari.” He said rising in anger.

“I did not say no Arturo.” She said standing.

“Then what is your answer onna? Perhaps maybe?” he said coldly.

“You are the one that entered my life!” she said in sudden anger.

“You are right. I took what I wanted.” He said narrowing his citrine eyes.

He had her in his arms suddenly and he stared in her mahogany eyes. Her breath caught at what she saw in his face. Her lips formed an `o' as he lifted her enough to join with her.

“I love you my perfect lover. I will have you as my mate for now and always.” He said as he moved her back and forth.

He was being manipulative but he needed her near him. He suspected another but he refused to be stupid. This onna had so much power locked within her that she could be a very bad enemy indeed but he was so completely taken with her that he would risk it. He had been coming so often that he knew her home well. He laid her back on the bed and slowly brought about her pleasure. He held himself back as he wished for more. She was breathless and she was shaking a little.

“Can I not have my life here too?” she asked.

“Say you are mine. Say that I can brand you with my mark.” He said in a husky tone.

“Arturo.” She said closing her eyes.

“You are keeping me from you Hibari! I will not have it!” he said dangerously.

“You are not my lord and master!!!” she said in anger.

“Oh really? Are you challenging me to try?” he asked coldly.

“No! I am just saying.” She stated in a sigh.

She managed to extract herself and he was furious. His face held malice as she left the room and went to her kitchen. She went to the fridge and got a bottle of water and turned to see him. He was dressed and angry. She sighed again and looked away.

“Think about what I wish. I want you on your own terms and not by my forcing you. I want your love.” He said and he opened a garganta.

She watched him leave and Hibari covered her mouth. She was sick to her stomach and she knew she would be forced to make a choice she did not want to make. She cursed her lover and got dressed. She had to close the bar and she was miserable.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was sleepy still and she rolled over to find Grimmjow still asleep next to her. She smiled down at him and his face held no malice or anger at the moment. He was truly serene and beautiful in that moment; she was overcome as she watched him sleep. He somehow kept worming his way deeper and more profoundly into her heart and she was growing more desperate as time wore on. She laid her head on his chest and tears fell down her cheeks onto his skin. He woke up and she felt him rest a hand on the hack of her head.

“You slept good.” He mumbled.

“Hai.” She murmured back.

“Is the boy going to be okay?” he asked in a low growl.

“Hai he will be okay. My son Shinobu is a doctor as well and he infused the babe with something.” She said closing her eyes.

“What'd he give him?” he asked in a growl.

“Grimmjow that had to suppress his natural powers because he was draining mine.” She said defensively.

“They made him helpless?” he asked in fury.

“He is a babe within me Grimmjow. He does not need his natural powers at the moment.” Asuna said in a low growl.

“He'd help defend you! Are you stupid?” he asked pushing her back.

“How would he help defend me when I could not rise because I was so weak?” she asked in annoyance.

“Well if he's Arrancar then he's got natural power!” Grimmjow said in snarly tone.

“But his power is negating mine Grimmjow! I am a strong female and I can protect my young!” she said in anger.

“Then I'll have to protect you better! You're gonna release some of his powers so he can help protect you too!” he commanded.

“When did you get enough balls to even think you can command me Arrancar?” she asked with a dangerous tone.

“When I fucked you and got you knocked up.” He snickered suddenly.

Her face flushed a very pretty pink and he actually grinned like an idiot. He sat her up and pulled her gown off of her and pressed his perfect body against hers.

“What are you doing?” she gasped.

“Reminding you of something. You ain't ever gonna forget how I feel or smell. You're gonna think of me and you'll get red in the face remembering how I make you scream.” He said with a predatory smile.

“I do not forget anything about you Grimmjow; I assure you it is impossible to do so.” She replied.

“Fine then I just want your heat.” He said smiling widely.

He watched her face and he lifted his eyes to hers. He wanted to watch her as he took her. She seemed to understand his silent command to watch him closely. She bit her bottom lips trying to quell the mounting noises that threatened to escape her. Grimmjow took great pleasure and almost joy as they shared each other and their bodies. He demanded she take them to Tokyo. He laid her on the bed and made sure she was comfortable and he took her claws and sliced open his wrist. She stared at him hungrily and she ended up feeding from him in a haze. When the Sexta Espada left; she was completely satiated and she actually felt wonderful. She went to her closet and dressed in a long silk dress of ebony silk. She ported to Yamasaki Hospital and she went to the Chief of Medicine's office. Nobu was passed out asleep on his desk. Her heart clenched and she walked forward and ran fingers through his black hair.

“You take off whenever and wherever.” He said with his head still down.

“You were off skulking around and I went to find you.” She said with narrowed eyes.

“I was off as you put it hating myself!” he said staring up at her with angry eyes.

“What has your web in a twist?” she asked archly.

“How dare you!” he snapped.

“How dare I what?” Asuna asked.

“For one third of my life I have loved you! This thing in your belly frightens the hell out of even me! Something draining a youkai of such great power? Then come to find out that I am male whore the second I see you!” he said glaring.

“That is what this is really about!” she stated in a yell.

“Hai!” he hissed in her face.

“Why?” she demanded.

“Even when we were not together I still wanted you!” he said in fury.

“What is bothering you about that? You and I were together in another lifetime.” Asuna stated confused.

Nobu stepped forward and held her jaw. His violent emotions were all over his face and his black eyes were narrowed. They heard the door open and their son and daughter appeared.

“Chichi? Haha?” Nanami asked timidly.

“We are fine Nanami.” Asuna muttered.

“Go on you two. Your mother and I have much to discuss.” Nobu stated never loosing eye contact with her.

“Chichi, sir you are shaking.” Shinobu said concerned.

“Go son!” Nobu commanded.

“Hai sir.” Shinobu said slipping out followed by Nanami.

“Shinobu what the hell is going on?” Nanami asked.

“Chichi and haha are fixing to have a row. They did this often when I was little. When Uncle Ishin or Uncle Naraku wanted haha to behave they had chichi handle her.” Her elder brother explained.

“Okay but haha is pregnant.” Nanami said confused.

“Yeah well chichi maybe a healer but he is as stubborn as she is. They were together in another lifetime as well kiddo.” He said rubbing her head.

“Stop it!” she growled.

“Yeah whatever. Come on. We have charts to finish and I need a drink.” Shinobu said grinning.

“Whose gonna sleep with you tonight?” Nanami asked.

“The nurse from the third floor.” He said chuckling.

“Lord you are as bad as Rishou used to be!” she said slapping his arm.

“Well who is in your bed?” he asked raising a black brow.

“Shuhei.” She said blushing.

“What about Doctor Ishida?” he taunted.

“He and I see each other every other weekend.” She said lifting her chin.

“Yeah…see you are just like me.” Shinobu chuckled as he linked arms with his baby sister.

Nobu held her pinned to the wall and his feelings were out of control. He only ever managed to loose his cool with her. They stared at the other with intensity and he wished to the Kamis he could make her come to heel. He suddenly realized that was part of what he loved about her. She was stubborn and she was herself. She did not pretend to be anyone else and he had loved this onna for so long that he could barely remember a time before her. She had become a mother to his oldest son and had given him two more. His life had been what he had always wanted. He lifted her up and she stared down at him in annoyance and anger.

“Every time I think I get myself under control around you then I realize it will never happen. Kamis Asuna, I think I was falling for you way before our encounter in Siam.” He said in a hoarse tone.

“Why does that bother you Nobu?” she demanded.

“Because it means I desired you when I was mated to Juuna. I keep thinking I did her more wrong then she would ever know! When I took her, it was the Lady Asuna I wanted!” he growled.

“I am sorry if that bothers you Nobu but we did not know our tragic past. We should have been drawn together and I am surprised it took as long as it did!” she snapped.

“When you were in Vietnam that time when you were pregnant with Zihao, I watched you sleep and I could not stop myself from thinking such things.” He murmured.

“I am fine Nobu.” She sighed.

“No you are not! We had to use a powerful serum from that freak in Soul Society to bind that baby! Who knows if it will keep! You already have issues with Pre Eclampsia and you do not stop fighting or anything long enough to have a baby properly! You also carry my daughter too and I am freaked that you will loose her to that Arrancar brat!” he growled.

“This babe is innocent regardless of who sired him or not. The same for our daughter.” She said flatly.

“You are not a Kami.” He said almost coldly.

“No, I am not a Kami but I am also not going to stand by and be a demure onna who gives into her male masters! I play the games men do and I play to win.” She said with narrowed eyes.

“I do not play games with you onna! You have no set mate and I understand that but you do owe me something and by the Kamis you will know that!” he snapped.

“What do I owe you Nobu? I have borne you a son and a daughter!” she growled.

“Kamis you are an arrogant bitch!” he snarled at her.

He lifted the skirt of her gown and she wore no undergarments. Crippling lust ripped through him and he slipped his fingers through her nether lips. He almost could not breathe and he began nipping at the side of her neck.

“You are soaking wet.” He groaned into her ear.

“Hai.” She said horrified at herself.

“Say it.” He asked in a beastly tone.

“Hai. Please Nobu! Do not make me beg.” She whimpered.

He injected her nub with venom and he slipped his finger into her center to release a little in her core. Her eyes widened and she had not experienced this in a long while. He had to hold her up as she began shaking as the venom raged through her.

“Nobu!” she cried out loudly.

“Hai?” he asked in a soft tone.

“I need you!” she growled.

“Not tonight. I want you to have that serum in you and see how you react. Let my venom take you Asuna.” He said gently as she arched her neck.

Her lips trembled and Nobu's famous calm was back in place. He held her up as her body was winding tightly and the resulting release would drain her. The delicious and decadent tremors coursed through her and she throbbed in intense need. She turned to look at him and her eyes were bright red.

“Let go silly inu.” He said lightly.

“I want you in me now!” she snapped.

“Nope.” He said grinning.

“Nobu!” she hissed.

“Let yourself come Asuna!” he commanded.

She closed her eyes and she groaned out as her body succumbed to the pleasures. He looked intensely satisfied as he held her up. He intended to add insult to injury and he slid down her body. He proceeded to lick and suckle her for several minutes and her chest was heaving. He stepped back and she slid down the wall.

“I will see you tomorrow. Please be at your beach house or your penthouse, okay?” he asked.

She nodded dumbly and he left his office. She had intense desires to pin him down and use him for her own gratification but she did have pride. She picked herself up and her mind was that of her inu. She began growling and she went to Ichigo. He was in his room and he had books laid out as he worked his math. She grabbed him and threw him down on his bed and he stared at her shocked.

“Sensei?” he asked in a whisper.

“Hush!” she growled.

“What is wrong?” he demanded.

She unbuckled his pants and yanked them down. He looked at her like she was insane and she fell upon him and kissed him deeply. He lost his mind to the way her tongue stroked his and he groaned loudly. Ichigo had a panic in the back of his mind but he could not think as she kissed and stroked him to near mindlessness. Her eyes were red and he could tell there was no rational thought behind her actions.

“Asuna!” he said shaking her.

“Shut up!” she growled.

“Asuna my dad's house is full of people! Rukia is here too.” He said trying to reach her.

“Why is the younger Kuchiki here?” she asked in a dangerous growl.

“We're working on the Arrancar thing.” He said almost helplessly.

“You are mine!” she said in a snarling tone.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” he asked narrowing his warm brown eyes.

“Stay away from her!” she growled.

“What the fuck Asuna? She is a friend.” He said shoving at her.

“She loves you.” His inu mate stated in a snarly whisper.

“No, she loves Renji and this is fucking insane! I ain't a piece of property.” Ichigo growled.

“I told you ningen that you played a dangerous game mating me.” She said in anger.

“What the fuck Asuna? You're knocked up by the fucking Grimmshit and you're espousing this shit?” he said in angry tone.

“Aizen had played up a situation Ichigo. I will not apologize for an innocent life but you are mated to me! You have given two pups and I will kill the shinigami whore if she touches you!” she said getting off of him.

“What?” he asked confused.

He could see her face and her markings were jagged. He was suddenly struck that her inu side was in control and he was dumbfounded. She began growling at his thoughts and he stared at her.

“Frightened shinigami?” she asked him roughly.

“No.” he growled at her.

“You should be. If I took you right now…you may not make it.” She said grinning almost cruelly.

“Shut the fuck up and go sleep this off okay?” he snapped.

She lost her temper and she flung her yoki through his wall. The resulting explosion was horrendous. Ichigo jumped up and stared at her in horror. Isshin, Karin, Yuzu, and Rukia all ran up the stairs and stared at what was left of the room.

“Stay away from him shinigami or you will die.” Asuna snarled without even looking at Rukia.

“What the hell?” Rukia asked in surprise.

She suddenly could not breathe and she was strangling the younger onna. Ichigo had to haul Asuna off of Rukia and his girlfriend-mate was a snarling mess.

“Son get her out of here! Her inu is in control.” Isshin commanded.

Ichigo released his shinigami form and restrained her as he shunpoed away from his house.

“You know that's gonna cost a fortune to fix!” he snapped in her ear.

“Mate!” she snarled.

“What the fuck has gotten into you?” he demanded as he entered their beach home.

She suddenly threw him onto the floor and she began tearing the haori and hakama from him. He could not believe what she was doing but she suddenly snapped her jaws around his femoral artery and he shouted out in ecstasy. Her rational self was gone and she tasted his blood. She could smell Rukia on him and she lost her head. Asuna raked her claws down his chest and he yelled in pain and pleasure as she continued to feed from him. She pulled back a moment and plunged his member into her mouth.

“Awe fuck Asuna! What are you doing?” he managed to ask.

-MINE!- she snarled in his head.

“What have I done?” he moaned out as her claws continued to dig into his chest and her mouth worked his cock.

-You have touched her! - she growled in thought.

“We fought an Arrancar! I hugged her.” He groaned out louder.

She got him almost to his end and stopped. He yelled out in frustration and she stripped out of her gown. All her markings could be felt and he was suddenly quite aware that she was truly and in fact part animal in nature. She joined them harshly and he yelled out again in pain and the pleasure.

“You are mine.” She said harshly in a low growl.

“I'm not a Kamis damn piece of property!” he moaned out.

“You are mine!” she said snapping her jaws around his throat.

“Oh hell! Asuna!” he cried out as the joining of their flesh was almost violent in the intensity.

She was snarling and moaning as he suddenly lost it and pushed her back. He snapped his hips hard as the noises they made were primitive. Asuna lost her voice as her body gripped his in a powerful spasm as she released hard. Ichigo yelped out and fell against her as he came down with her. She blinked her eyes and they were still red. He had submitted a little and had ended up dominating her like her beast needed. She looked at his skin and she whimpered as she realized what she had done.

“Oh Kamis!” she said in a low cry.

“Can't move.” He said against her throat.

“I am so sorry.” She whispered in a tortured tone.

“You done calling me a male whore?” he asked.

“Hai.” She said flushing.

“There ain't anything between Rukia and me right now. Look I still don't understand everything about you but I know you aren't mortal but I am.” He said meeting her eyes.

“No you are not anymore.” She said softly.

“Well I'm still ningen and I follow a morality of a ningen okay?” he stated in a sigh.

“I smell her all over you!” she said in accusation.

“You don't give a shit if Naraku or Ishin have a lover but I'm not allowed?” he asked in anger.

“They are not ningen.” She said in defiance.

“You're a fucking riot!” he said pushing himself off of her.

“Ichigo!” she yelled.

“You owe my dad like a bunch of money! Him and the twins need to stay here while the house is fixed.” He said as he straightened his clothes.

“I will see to the repairs.” She said in a sigh.

“Yeah you bet you're going to. What the fuck got into you?” he demanded.

“Stay away from her!” she yelled as she put her gown back on.

“Or what?” he asked.

He was pinned against the wall and he could see the struggle in her face. He gasped and she looked at him almost desperately.

“Gomenasai but you are mine.” She said releasing him.

She walked away and ported to the Kurosaki residence. She bowed before Kurosaki Isshin and he looked miffed.

“I am sorry.” She said softly.

“What happened? I've only seen a youkai rabid once and that was over a kill.” He said almost joking.

“I was already in a state and I could smell HER all over him.” She said in shame.

“Well uh she left.” Isshin said looking towards the door.

She nodded and she went to the telephone. She called upon her construction firm and they promised to get started right away. She handed Isshin a key to the beach property and she ported out to the penthouse. She stared at Tokyo below and wondered what the hell was going on with her body.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Grimmjow was incensed and fascinated as he watched the shinigami get his wits about him. Stupid prick had no idea how to handle a youkai female that was being controlled by her animal side. She had torn him up something good and that thought made him thrilled and he had witnessed the brutal act between them. Jealousy tore at him a little but the ningen idiot had not tamed her and had not made her submit enough. He could imagine her inu was still just below the surface and ready to strike. Anger at their lies they both told ate at him too but he realized that he would do anything to protect her and his brat in her belly. He sat in the air and ideas flitted through his head. He decided to fuck up the shinigami brat and then get her inu under control. He used his sonido and he kicked Ichigo in the back of the head and the kid fell forward hard onto the sand.

“What the fuck?” Ichigo snarled.

“You needed an ass kicking shinigami and I need to kill you.” Grimmjow said laughing.

“I fucking hate you so much!” Ichigo snarled at the Sixth Espada.

“You ain't my favorite either shinigami. You whine too much and you act all bad ass when you're nothing but a fucking whiney bitch!” Grimmjow said cracking his knuckles.

Ichigo pulled his zanpakuto and they went at it. They both threw punches and kicks at the other and Grimmjow was cut up by Zengetsu but it did not faze him. He sucker punched Ichigo in the face and the orange haired shinigami sputtered as he choked on blood. Grimmjow gave him a powerful kick to his lower back and the kid fell to the earth with a sickening thud.

“You're fucking pathetic and Soul Society thinks you're a prodigy? You're fucking stupid as well. You ain't gonna keep her shinigami. You think she wants a wimp?” he asked harshly.

“You think she wants a fucking maniac?” Ichigo reported as he lifted his head and wiped away blood from his broken nose.

“I know I'm gonna kill you and I'm gonna fucking love doing it. You're a lump of worthless shit and you couldn't hope to figure her out ningen scum!” Grimmjow snarled.

“What the fuck ever Grimmshit. Stay away from her or next time you'll end up dead!” Ichigo said hoarsely.

Grimmjow lifted his right leg straight up and brought it down with tremendous force. There was another sickening crunch that came from Ichigo's back and he went down and he yelped in horrible pain erupted.

“Don't fucking talk kid. You're a waste of space and you make me look like a Kamis damn genius. You like to talk all big and shit but at the end of the day this is what you are. You're a pile of nothing and don't ever forget that shinigami. Never forget who it is that whips your skinny ass all the time!” Grimmjow said in hysterical laughter.

Ichigo could not think as pain overwhelmed him and Grimmjow used his sonido and was gone.

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

He could feel her yoki and it was suffocating. She did not need pretty words or pretty lovemaking. She needed strength. He stepped into her penthouse and she flew to her room. She stared at him and he grabbed her roughly. He yanked her head back and brutally kissed her. The kiss was violent and blood dripped out of the side of their lip lock as he ripped the silk from her body.

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

“You already forgot bitch!” he snarled in her face.

“What?” she asked dumbly.

“Yeah I saw you take that shinigami shit.” He said darkly.

“Why are you spying on me?” she demanded.

“Cause you have my brat in you! I told you I was gonna protect you!” he said dangerously.

“Grimmjow!” she growled in warning.

“I remember a little. I want you to go back. I want you to give me more memories.” He said roughly in her ear.

“I will when I have time.” She said harshly.

“You think you're gonna tell me what to do like that shinigami? Fuck that my little bitch.” He said turning her over and he entered her smoothly but by no means gently.

She choked at the feeling and she squeezed her eyes shut as he took her and dominated her. She was rasping hard as he made her whine to the heavens. He may have been an Arrancar but he was remembering what to do to subdue her beast. He was putting her sanity back into place in the most primitive and youkai way. He was not allowing her to complete and she was begging him. This was a power trip for him she thought and she snarled out at him.

“I love you bitch!” he said in a passionate tone.

She was shocked at his words and she ended up screaming out in rapture. He joined her and she felt his cool body against her back. Asuna was calm and collected at the moment but she was exhausted as well. He pulled her flush against him and he too felt exhaustion.

“So good.” He mumbled.

“Why did you do that?” she asked.

“Cause the shinigami is a fucking idiot. You were out of control. You don't like feeling like that.” He muttered in a sleepy voice.

“How do you know that?” she asked shocked.

“Just do okay?” he snapped.

He fell asleep and she was shocked. Grimmjow always managed to surprise her and she laid her head on his chest. Her hand hovered over his hollow hole and she was angered again that this should have been his fate. She hated that he suffered and she was more determined then ever to know the absolute truth of her Arrancar mate.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Byakuya stared down at the dead Arrancar and he proceeded to step upon the body. He walked away and he was followed by Karu. His friend was smirking and he could tell he enjoyed the battle. Karu had a yoki blade that looked lethal and it was curved sharply. They were here for one thing and one thing only. They saw a shadow in the sand and both whirled to face another Arrancar.

“Put away your weapons fools!” Tesla snapped.

“You look familiar.” Karu said eyeing the blond Arrancar.

“This way now! Aizen has been using Mizuki for his own ends.” Tesla said anger.

“How dare you call her by her given name!” Byakuya said coldly.

“Do not speak to me again as such shinigami! I have a much longer past with her than you do.” Tesla said in anger.

“Ayumu?” Karu asked shocked.

“Hai kumo. I became this and know this; I will avenge her for us both. Do you understand?” Tesla stated in a cool demeanor.

“How?” Karu asked shocked.

“I tried to get to her kumo. She had my daughter within her and that foul Shouten reached into her belly and ripped my baby from her as if she were nothing. Mizuki was bleeding to death and she tried to stop the Shouten. He came at and ripped my intestines from me and I slowly bled out with the onna I loved in my arms. I did nothing as I could do nothing to save her or my daughter. I can do something now and the Shouten will pay for the misery they have caused her and my family!” he said with so much hate Karu was taken back.

“You look almost the same. She knows who you are.” Karu stated with no malice.

“She knows but she loves you two. She and I are best friends again but nothing more kumo. I have loved her for so long but I will avenge my daughter.” Tesla said as they began walking.

“Why would you help us Arrancar?” Byakuya asked.

“Because not all of us really care for Aizen. We “follow” him for our own purposes and mine is that I will get to face the Shouten.” Tesla stated as he stared straight ahead.

“Interesting.” The Sixth Squad Captain stated.

“Tesla, I was wrong.” Karu stated as he walked beside his former rival.

“Of course you were but then we were young as well. She was not of that plane kumo, she was of mine and it took a shinigami for you to accept that. No matter though as it is long past.” He said without emotion.

“Still the same arrogant and self inflated fey!” Karu growled.

“The Yosei were always better then the corporeal youkai but our worlds collided and we must face the facts that there is no turning back. I am no longer that wayward youth with youth ideals. I have killed and I must say that it empowers me.” Tesla stated coldly.

“You bastard!” Byakuya said unemotionally.

“Watch it shinigami. I may hold more hate for the Shouten but I have no love of the ningen shinigami either.” Tesla growled.

“Enough!” Karu said in a low voice.

“I will make a scene. Kumo attack me!” Tesla commanded.

Karu surged his venomous shoki through his fang and Tesla actually removed his eye patch and fired a reddish energy at him. Karu blocked the attack and the Arrancar pulled his zanpakuto.

“Uchifusero Verruga!” he cried and his began to change immediately.

His hollow mask covered his whole face and he looked to be like an overly muscled wart hog with tusks. Karu's eyes widened and he recognized that the former Yosei still held anger and hatred for him. He would help them but he would try and take revenge anyway. Tesla moved and actually grabbed the kumo prince and he crushed him mercilessly in his grip. Karu cried out as bone crunched and he sank his fangs into Tesla. He released his venom through his bite and fought back. Byakuya recognized the need for the male youkai to work out some sort of truce and waited patiently. Karu surged his own strength and Tesla staggered back. He changed form and even the shinigami was floored. He had never seen his friend in this form and Karu charged Tesla. He was snapping his fangs with force and he whirled around with his back legs and knocked the Arrancar back. They heard screaming in the distance a high pitch shrill sound escaped Karu. Tesla knew and he took the opportunity to rear back and punch Karu in the thorax area. They were all shocked when Mizuki ran between them.

“NO!” she screamed.

“Mizuki!” Byakuya yelled.

“Stop it! All that happened hundreds of years ago! Karu, change back please. There is no time! Aizen will return here any moment!” She cried.

Karu changed form and he held his stomach and blood gushed from his nose and mouth. Tesla changed back and he charged Karu. The kumo prince shoved his hand through his side and the blond Arrancar choked on his blackish blood.

“Take her now.” He groaned as he fell to his knees.

“We will finish this later Yosei.” Karu said under his breath.

“Not if I am dead. GO!” Tesla sneered.

Karu jumped up and grabbed Mizuki as well as Byakuya. Mizuki tried to scream as Tesla fell to his knees and then flat on his stomach.

“Tesla! Tesla!” Mizuki screamed.

“Mizuki! He is sacrificing himself for you! He is not dead.” Byakuya said in a low tone.

She nodded as tears poured down her face and she stared at Karu who could not look at her.

“You did not tell me that you had found him again.” He said in a hateful tone.

“Because you were always insecure about him!” she yelled.

“Because you left me for him!” Karu snarled.

“Because I was raped and beaten by an inu! I was barely twenty two years old Karu! Forgive me in my stupidity!” she said as tears poured down her face.

“I have never not loved you Mizuki! Ayumu has been and always will be my enemy!” he said coldly.

Byakuya had managed to produce the shinigami made garganta like gate from the medallion. It had taken them several days in Hueco Mundo but they had returned.

“Karu, will you please watch the children?” Byakuya asked in a civil tone.

“Hai! I cannot look at you!” he yelled at Mizuki.

“Then do not! Go have pity upon yourself you over grown kodomo!” she hissed.

“Mizuki!” Byakuya stated admonishing her.

“Fuck off Kuchiki!” she snarled.

They both watched as she ported away. They stood there dumbfounded and Karu grew furious.

“She's gonna go talk to the inu shit head. Kamis I hate her sometimes.” The kumo prince yelled as he walked away.

“Karu?” Byakuya stated trying to calm the kumo male.

“Come Byakuya! You and I my friend are going to the Den Aqua Lounge and getting drunk. Our wife is a bitch of supreme proportions and I am tired.” Karu stated as he went in the opposite direction.

Byakuya sighed and followed him. This family had more secrets within it then all of the Seireitei.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mizuki sat in Kazuo's Los Angeles office and she was crying so hard that she was going to be sick. He was happy to see her but he had not known she was gone. She was happy that she did not have to try and explain Tesla to him. He watched her sadly and came to sit by her.

“You can stay here for a little while Mizuki. I know you will have to go back but stay?” he asked softly.

“Hai.” She said sniffing.

He lifted her chin and kissed her crest. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and wept openly. He held her and jealousy ripped him but he held onto her. He eventually ported them to his house in Melrose and settled her on his bed. He walked about his home and he seemed happy. She watched him and admired her elder sibling.

“Kaz?” she called.

“Yeah?” he asked in return.

“How come you will not come home?” she asked.

“Because I really like it here. I have lived all over the United States since the seventeenth century. It is awesome really. The ookami here are stronger then they are in Japan. There are so many youkai here that you would be shocked.” He said smiling.

“Did Sheng ever remate?” she asked.

“Nope. He held a torch for her but knew better then to pursue her. I have no idea what happened to her that made her the way she is.” Kazuo said in anger.

“She is not like many onna Kaz! Why should she hold to stupid male dominated traditions when she is more powerful then any man any day?” she asked.

“Because she was a mother!” he growled.

“You had more yoki then Hiroto didn't you??” she asked.

“Hai I did and do. He was actually the follower. I should have been the heir and not him. He never wanted it. I did want it the same I wanted you.” He said flatly.

“What exactly do you want Kazuo?” she asked.

“Do not be daft Zuki. We were not supposed to be born siblings! You know it and I know it.” He said crossing his arms.

“You have the same strength of will that my mother does Kaz. You and I are so much alike that it is scary. Can I tell you a secret?” she asked in a raw tone.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“Aizen did things.” She said looking away.

“What do you mean?” he demanded.

“I mean I should hate him but I do not.” She said twisting her fingers.

“He slept with you.” Kaz said flatly.

“Do not be a moron now Kaz! He likes the sex.” She said rolling her eyes.

“You mean he is in love with you the same as me and those others. Kamis you are like her.” Kaz said in a sigh.

“Kaz please.” She implored him.

“Look I accepted you a long time ago Zuki. I may not like it but I do not have as much pride as my father. I am too selfish.” He admitted.

“Selfish?” she asked surprised.

“Hai. Selfish and mad about the hottest thing on both sides of the Pacific.” He stated with a smirk.

She laughed and she was suddenly under him. She met his amber eyes and she had visions of burning in hell. She just could not care and her mind turned to mush as he crushed his lips to hers. Memories of Aizen were in the deepest parts of her mind and she was washed in guilt. She waited till he slept and she went to the outskirts of Tokyo. He was in the air and she looked up at him.

“Where have you been?” he demanded.

“You give me a right to my life.” She demanded.

“Why would I do that Mizuki?” he asked in anger.

“Because I felt it Sosuke. I felt what you felt when you bound me to you. I know you had no intentions of it but you did. Try and lie to yourself but not to me Sosuke.” She said in anger.

“Do not dare keep yourself from me again Mizuki.” He said in annoyance.

“What are you going to do Sosuke? Will you hurt me? Would you really hurt what you want so badly?” she asked as he moved across from him.

“You are leaving.” He said in his calm and kind voice.

“You bastard! I wish I could hate you!” she said as she flung herself into his arms.

“Why?” he asked looking down at her.

“Because! You have ruined my life.” She said shutting her eyes.

“I love power Mizuki and you have much.” He said in her hair.

“You cannot even admit it now. I have to go Sosuke.” She said wrenching away from him.

“Mizuki, do not make me wait for you.” He said in a low and sinister voice.

“Do not try that shit on me shinigami! You assured you have no power over me! I stayed because I wanted to but I am a mother and I will attend my babies.” She said in anger.

“Remember what we share.” He said as she began to walk away.

“How can I forget?” she asked as tears poured down her face.

He watched her leave and he had a very satisfied smirk on his face. His plans were working out quite well. He chuckled to himself as he produced the garganta to go back to Los Noches.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nobu entered her penthouse still fairly early in the morning. He could feel her presence and he was calmed by it. Ichigo had called him after he had been beaten to a pulp by the Arrancar. He made coffee and went to sit in a chair by her bed. The object of his current disdain shared her bed and he calmly waited. He actually grew more furious and he changed form and crawled to the ceiling. Asuna woke up with the niggling of a familiar aura but could not see anything. She looked over and Grimmjow still slept. She sat up and suddenly Grimmjow did as well.

“What the hell is that?” he asked as he looked around.

Grimmjow was actually grabbed and Asuna screamed in shock. She jumped from the bed and recognized Nobu. He looked ready to inject him with venom and she shook her head no. He made a high pitched noise and she snarled.

“Do not dare Nobu! Get down here now and change form! This is not you!” she yelled.

“You understand what the fuck this thing is saying?” Grimmjow laughed.

“Hai I understand what he is saying. He wants to take your head off of you at the moment.” Asuna said almost amused.

“Tell him I'll punch out his fucking eyes if he doesn't put me down now or I'll start breaking his fucking legs.” Grimmjow growled.

Nobu threw him against the wall and stared stubbornly at his mate. She threw up her hands in anger and went to storm the kitchen. He shot her with silk and pulled her up and made another high pitched noise.

“I am fine! Now let me down…I need coffee!” she said annoyance.

-He hurt Ichigo pretty badly Asuna. - he pathed.

“Put me down so I may assimilate the information okay?” she demanded.

He muttered bitch in funnel and she slapped one of his eyes. He dropped her unceremoniously on the bed and he changed form.

“Damnit you had to hit one I use in my humanoid form?” he demanded.

“I am not stupid Nobu. I know which legs and which eyes are your humanoid ones.” She sneered.

Grimmjow was gone and she sighed. Nobu followed her to the kitchen and she handed him an ice pack. He covered his eye and sat at the table.

“Ichigo and I fought last night. I took him with my beast in control. Grimmjow subdued me.” She said sighing.

“Why did you not say anything?” he asked in anger.

“Because you are the one that made me that way!” she accused.

“I would have fixed what I started Asuna. Kamis damn it you are so stubborn.” He yelled.

“Well I am not going to beg you.” She said in anger.

He was angry again and he stood up and grabbed her. He pulled her to him and invaded her mouth with his. She immediately began mewling and somehow they ended up on the couch and he made love to her till she was hoarse. She closed her eyes and felt such immense sorrow and happiness at the same time. She was shielding her feelings and he sighed above her.

“Mizuki is home by the way. Karu and the shinigami went against your commands and went for her. Karu keeps saying that the Arrancar named Tesla is the Yosei Ayumu.” Nobu said.

“Makes sense. Grimmjow was a youkai as well.” She murmured.

“Who?” he asked.

“His name was Grimmjow Jagaharu. He was the half brother of Daichi and Hiroshi. He was a kit born

outside of a royal mating. He was a Yamaneko prince and denied his rights.” She said bitterly.

“So what are you saying Asuna?” Nobu asked.

“I do not know. I know he was a famed and brave warrior but there are so many things I do not know.” She said looking away.

“Was he a good man when he was a Yamaneko?” he asked.

“Hai.” She nodded sadly.

“The only way you are going to know the truth is go back and ask the one person who knew that royal family better then anyone.” He suggested.

“Oh my Kamis Nobu! You are a genius!” she said gasping in delight.

“Do me a favor and treat me a little different okay? Allow me to love you and do not push me away.” He said nuzzling her neck.
