Essence of Time

Pleasure and pain were always mixed and always the same as they brought about the most intense and really quite lovely mixture of endorphins to the blood that he consumed. He ran his claws down the back of a particularly luscious male and he smiled widely. The Shouten king was still recovering from the brutal attack. Raganos tr'Awnhi was tight lipped and he said nothing about the enemy but then Lei pretty well knew who it was. Very few could match her power already and that was why he waited. The bitch just got stronger and he watched and bided his time. He growled out suddenly and he felt Hanaj tr'Awnhi enter his palace. Ever since the king had come here so had many of the Steppe Shouten too. He rolled over to his side and watched Hanaj stare at him hatefully. Hanaj was one male he desired badly and would do anything to have.

“Where is my brother?” he demanded.

“Sleeping at the moment. He has not fed in a day or so, so I imagine he will awake soon.” Lei stated in a near purr.

“Filthy Mongolian!” Hanaj said spitting at him.

“Your family is most odd majesty. Most wraiths have no preference for gender yet yours seem to prefer the opposite of what you are.” He said in a silky tone.

“We prefer to procreate and one cannot do that when one screws the same sex now can they?” Hanaj growled.

“You really are rather judgmental Prince Hanaj. I suggest a massage. They are delightful and most especially in your corporeal form.” Lei said lying on his back lewdly.

“Close your dressing gown you disgusting pig!” The wraith prince snapped.

He could feel this era's inu princess and he was going insane at the moment. She was in such horrendous pain that he would have harmed himself to make her feel something else. He was almost to the point of going to her in his natural form and joining with her to ease both of their suffering. He stared back at the Mongolian Shouten and he blanched. The beast had his own organ out and was pleasuring himself. He stalked past the sick bastard and went to find Raganos. He walked the halls till he found the room he was sleeping in. He sank next to his brother and pressed his wrist to his brother's mouth. His blood would prove to help his elder brother and Raganos bit in.

-Why are you helping me? - he demanded in thought.

“Because you are still my king and I am loyal to our family.” Hanaj stated bluntly.

-Very good Hanaj. - Raganos pathed and he pulled back.

He released a satisfied sigh and his black eyes opened to see his younger brother.

“Lei is getting on your nerves too?” he asked darkly.

“He is not natural brother.” Hanaj growled.

“He will serve a purpose Hanaj. You must trust in me that I will lead our kind to the best end.” Raganos said in a whisper.

He was still very weak and he missed his lover intensely. Lei Jing was wild and it did concern him some that Jings did cause his kind more issue then needed. Hanaj stood up and watched Raganos a moment and he slipped from the room. He walked back to the main part of the Mongolian Shouten palace and he snarled in anger when he saw Lei being pleasured by another male.

“Find a room bastard!” Hanaj snapped.

“This is my family home and I assure you that most of the Jings participate. Have a lovely day my prince.” Lei said gasping in delight.

Hanaj produced a shoki cloud of his mist and ported to Japan. He was in the extreme north and he felt her pain. She had lost someone she loved and it hurt him to feel. She was sitting on rock near a sinister looking castle and he moved to her. She looked around suddenly and her face held such horrid pain that he appeared before her. She jumped off the rock and stared at a beautiful creature that stole her breath.

“What are you?” she demanded.

“I felt your pain. I am sorry to bother you.” He said softly.

“Who are you?” she demanded.

“I am Hanaj.” He said stepping near her.

He stepped closer to her and she gasped as he lifted her chin. She was shaking badly and he hurt for her terribly.

“You lost someone you loved. I am a telepath as well.” He stated meeting her golden-brown eyes.

“Hai.” She said choking up.

“I am sorry.” He whispered.

“I know you! Why do I know you?” she asked confused.

“It is too complicated. Trust me that I would never harm you okay?” he asked taking her hands in his.

“This is too much.” She said looking away.

“Can I comfort you?” Hanaj asked the young inu princess.

“How?” she asked.

He fazed within her and she gasped heavily as he joined with her in his true form. She fell against the rock and she was gasping harder as she tried to catch her breath. He wanted to bring her comfort and something to latch onto while she healed. She was sucking in breath as her body succumbed to the sublime and she was whimpering as he held her. She met his eyes and he kissed her forehead.

“I love you woman. Gods forgive me but I love you.” He whispered softly.

He was gentle as he laid her against the rock and he bowed low to her. She was in confusion as what had happened but there was no malice in him at all. He was gone and she was mute as the event passed. She had no idea that she was being watched and Lei Jing was most intrigued. He grew curious and he stepped into the inu princess. Her body hummed with the after effects of her encounter and she hissed as she felt the invasion. He was gone just as quickly and she fell to the ground.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She woke from her slumber and she was feeling very strange things. She looked up and there was Hanaj. He looked full of anger and malice as he stared down at her and she sighed.

“You do carry an Arrancar.” He stated in a hateful tone.

“You knew this in the past.” She said gently.

“You have no idea what you have done to me. You have no idea how much and how fiercely I love you.” He said darkly.

“You are the one that visited me in the past.” She said raising a brow.

“Asuna! Gods damn it! Why should I not visit with my beloved mate and when she was in such pain?” he asked in anger.

“I came to look forward to your visits. Amazing no one else noticed them.” She said in annoyance.

“I am an older Shouten. I would not be discovered.” He said reaching out and touching her skin.

He suddenly pulled her back and turned her to stare at him. He pressed his hand to her belly and she felt warmth spread over her.

“He is of my plane Asuna. I hate Arrancar but this one is special.” He murmured.

“He is a being of both planes.” She stated.

“You need time and I may get you with child in the past. I will not stop myself from making love to you or perhaps getting my own son or daughter from your loins.” He stated as he stepped back.

“You cannot mess up the timeline too much!” she cried.

“You have kept the highlights the same but you are changing every circumstance. You have already done that. I love you.” He said disappearing into his mist.

She stared at the spot and sighed heavily. She needed to return to the past and she decided first to read up on history very carefully.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was immersed in the libraries of Shenyang which Ang Chi still kept up and she grew more and more horrified at what she read. Daichi had become a famed warrior as he had gotten older and it seemed he led incursions into the Dragon Lands. Nothing else was written but the time period was during the Shouten Wars and she sat back. She could only imagine the hatred and ill feelings that Daichi had held for Ryukotsusei and she also knew the ill feelings he had held for Anupu. She looked away as she remembered her own woes at the time. She wondered where Grimmjow, Hiroshi, and Akemi had fit in all this. Kagome and Inuyasha still were mated and lived in Tokyo at the shrine where Kagome's mother and grandfather lived. The family had tried to find Akemi and her family but there was nothing. No bodies no trace of anything else except a burned out castle. She sat back in the low chair and her oldest son came in with his daughter Keiko. She ran to her grandmother and hugged on her.

“You read?” she asked.

“Hai. I read history.” Asuna stated nuzzling the neck of her grandpup.

“Did you find what you were looking for Mother?” he asked.

“Unsure Ang Chi. There is so many questions and not enough answers. I do know that the Shouten King is in the past. I maimed him badly but he will return. He has taken my mother as a lover.” She said sighing.

“All this stuff with the Shouten brings back very bitter memories for me Mother. I would like to go back with you if I can.” He said bowing his head.

“I would like that. You must be careful to not run into your sire or anyone else you may be related to.” She laughed lightly.

“Well Tekeshi has been here. He is at He Gang at the moment. He has been immersing himself in books much like you are now.” He said smiling.

“He is like that. He is truly one of the best men you will ever know. It took me awhile to manage after his death. I blamed myself.” She said sighing.

“He knows that Mother. I also know he was profoundly disappointed in Katashi as a son.” Ang Chi said looking away at the mention of his birth father.

“I wish he did not feel the tremendous sadness he does. He read the accounts of the Hessian Incident. I had to go with him to Hana's shrine and he wept horribly.” Ang Chi said sadly.

“I failed him the most of all my mates and lovers.” She said closing her eyes.

“You have said that Hana does not wish to come back?” he asked.

“She has been there for a long time Ang Chi. She chooses to be an eternal child and she is happy. She is a guardian of the gate and she guards the remains of the inu.” Asuna stated with a small smile on her face.

“I am sure she is happy Mother but her sire is alive and her sire deserves to know her. He was ripped from her at such a young age.” Ang Chi said standing.

“Chi, I have asked her to be reborn and she says no. Her soul is old my son and she knows what she wants.” Asuna said standing and tears fell from her eyes.

“Please no cry!” Keiko cried.

“Come here my sweet girl. It is bed time for you.” Ang Chi said nuzzling her neck.

Keiko waved good bye to Asuna and the inu princess looked away. She felt crushing guilt as thoughts of Tekeshi hit her. She tried to quash the pain and she covered her mouth with her hand and she let loose a torrent of sobs. Every time she had attempted to try and save Hana; she was always a moment late. She sank to her knees and let the old pain draw her under for a few moments and she could not think. She got up slowly and walked to her old chambers as that used to be hers when she was the Lady of He Gang.

“Did you mean it?” Katashi asked of her.

“That I love you?” Asuna asked confused.

“Hai.” He said.

“Hai. I still think is against better judgment but by the Kamis; I love you.” She told him passionately.

“You have finally given yourself to me.” He said equally passionate.

“I have given myself to you?” She queried.

“You have given me the most precious part of you my love, your heart.” He replied kissing her.

She remembered that as being the first time that she had told her first mate she had loved him. Bitter tears slipped down her cheeks and she walked into the rooms that used to belong to Katashi. Asuna remembered the last bitter conversation that she had with him as his mate and her lips trembled.

“Why did you come here? To wear me down or manipulate my feelings?” she asked furious.

“Hai.” he snorted.

“Get out now.” Asuna said in a rage.

“Think seriously.” He said standing.

“I do not do well on threats.” She said narrowing her eyes.

“You do well flat on your back.” He snarled.

She swiped his face with her claws and spit at him.

“Get out and leave Japan. You almost had me fooled you son of a whore!” She yelled.

“I was not lying when I said I loved you still.” He said.

“No but it has to be on your terms.” The inu princess seethed.

“Who dishonored who more hmm?” he sneered.

“I am not ashamed to say that I love you also but I will not be dictated to.” She snapped.

“Someone should.” He snarled.

“You think that should be you? Who are you to me now?” Asuna said cruelly.

“I wanted to love you; but as normal you make that impossible.” He said hurt.

“Get out.” She screamed in rage and pain.

“Hai I will.” He said storming out.

She continued to be assaulted by the old memories and she lie on the bed and let them come. It was easier then trying to suppress it at the moment. She remembered Tekeshi facing Katashi and telling him that they had mated. Her heart was heavy and she looked at the paintings on the wall.

Katashi was already in the library and he was pacing. Tekeshi and Asuna entered and she went and found a vacant corner.

“No you have something to do with this! You face me!” Katashi said growling.

She moved back and Tekeshi hit his son across the face with some force.

“Do not ever speak to her again in such a fashion boy? Do you understand me?” Tekeshi said in a furious tone.

“You fucked my father? You are a whore!” Katashi yelled at me.

Tekeshi grabbed his son and shoved him backwards into some shelves. His eyes had gone red and she stepped back just a step.

“Do not ever speak to her again ever!” Tekeshi snarled.

“Where have you been Father? Obviously busy.” Katashi retorted.

“She has nothing to do with your behavior Katashi.” Her mate snapped.

“My behavior? You made everyone think you were dead. I know not for what but there it is.” He snarled.

“What I did was for my reasons. You were old enough to take the title I thought.” He snapped back.

“Sheng needed you. Did you know he was dead? Did you know that he had her too?” Katashi said in a horrible fury.

“I know everything Katashi. I also know why Asuna ended her union with you. You continue to deny your son.” Tekeshi snapped.

“What I did or did not do is no concern of yours. You walked away from your own son…how is that any different?” he said shaking.

“You were supposedly an adult. The pup you sired is a good boy.” Tekeshi said backing away.

“How would you know?” Katashi asked.

“I have adopted him Katashi.” She said softly.

“You are a fool Asuna.” He snapped at her.

Tekeshi hit his son square in the jaw.

“I told you do not speak to her. I told you to speak to me.” Tekeshi demanded.

“I see. How long have you been rutting the whore? Seems she has gone through every male in this family. Who was first hmmm? Shall we compare memories and see if she moans the same!” Katashi said in extreme sarcasm.

“You have no understanding of my life. I do not owe you an explanation for anything. You however have much to speak for.” Tekeshi snarled.

“Did you love my mother?” Katashi asked in a harsh whisper.

“I cared for her but no I did not love her. She and I were a political alliance in order to conceive you and nothing more. I have only loved one onna.” He remarked.

“I suppose that one onna is her.” He said furiously.

“Hai. I have only loved her for most of my life.” Tekeshi stated then sat.

It was obvious that she warmed at his words but kept her mouth wisely shut.

“I suppose you want your title and lands back.” Katashi said in a dangerous tone.

“I care not one wit for your lands. They have always been for you. My lands were lost in the One Great War. I however want you to make your son your heir as is proper. You screwed around half your life and begot a pup. He did not ask for your sorry ass as his father. Your actions have consequences. Ang Chi is a good boy and deserves his birthright.” Tekeshi said tightly.

“I was not told of his birth or nothing until ten years ago. I had no chance to raise him the way I chose and I sure as hell was not letting that shape shifting bitch a chance at my lands!” Katashi snapped.

“You have known all this time and made no effort to find your son. His shape shifting bitch mother has been dead for some time at the hand of the onna that you disgraced.” Tekeshi snapped.

Katashi snarled in a fury and stared at his former mate. She knew he was jealous and hurt. She had completely walked away from him and into the arms of his father.

“I will not acknowledge him especially now. When you walked away from us I was determined to never see him.” Katashi said to her.

“Ang Chi does not deserve your ire Katashi. He has had a rough time because of you and Jing. I made his life worse unknowingly.” She stated.

Katashi growled at her and Tekeshi stood between them. He looked downright scary at the moment.

She began to get sleepy as she remembered the day that Hana lost her chichi and Katashi was killed by his own sire. The tears kept falling but she allowed herself to feel it. This was old shame and old pain that she had never gotten over.

Father and son were on the ground. Tekeshi was bleeding heavily and so was Katashi. Asuna moved to them quickly and they both barely breathed. She saw a grievous wound in Tekeshi's gut and Katashi was torn horribly in the chest. She steeled herself and plunged her claws first into the belly wound of Tekeshi. He grunted softly and she released very small amounts of her Dakkasou. Asuna went to Katashi and she was fixing to do the same. He caught her hand and growled very low.

“Do not touch me not even to save my life.” He snarled.

“You fool you will die.” She hissed.

“So will my beloved chichi.” He said in hatred.

“Katashi, I do not want you to die.” She said trying to break his grasp.

“Faithless whore! I want nothing from you.” He said rolling to his side.

She jerked her hand away and checked on Tekeshi. His breathing was labored but the bleeding had stopped. She had never tried to really speak with her mind to a normal youkai but she screamed in Yuudai's head. She prayed he heard her. She was brushing the hair off of his face and he came awake.

“Aijou?” he asked.

“Tekeshi I am getting you help.” She said a shaky voice.

“Aijou listen it is done. I had more time than I was supposed to.” He said smiling to her.

“No Tekeshi please.” She begged him.

“Tell Hana her chichi loved her.” He said sighing.

“No you tell her please.” She said as hot tears spilled down her cheeks.

“I cheated death to be with you. I regret nothing. You gave me a beautiful daughter and I was never happier than in your arms.” He said reaching a weak hand up.

“Tekeshi no. Do not leave me please.” She sobbed brokenly.

Yuudai appeared with some village men and he saw her. She lowered her lips to Tekeshi's and he kissed her. Asuna pulled back and he was still. She reached over and closed his eyes. The warrior princess laid her head to his chest and sobbed brokenly. Her sobs tore through her but she checked on Katashi and he too breathed no more. She tore at her hair and sobbed till she just lay on Tekeshi's chest. Anguish filled her heart and pain unlike she had ever known filled her very bitter soul. She was responsible and she was wretched. The Kamis themselves could not forgive this sin.

Lady Asuna Orlovich had cried herself to sleep as she had done in private so many times through the centuries. She whimpered a little in her sleep and tears continued to spill from her closed eyes. Grimmjow stood over her and he too felt horrendous pain and guilt that he could not name. He could see the same emotion in her and he stripped out of his clothes and settled next to her. He would hold her and be gone before she even woke like he had done several times before.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke and she sat up. She could scent Grimmjow and she was touched by his nocturnal visit. He was gone like a ghost but he showed his devotion and his love through his actions. She smiled softly and she knew she had to prepare herself for some very difficult things. The memories of the night before she repressed savagely and she dressed in a black hakama and silverish blue kimono top. She pulled her hair back and stepped into thick geta. She felt Grimmjow's son and worried for her daughter. She lifted her head and ported to Juria's forest retreat. Her Tengu handed her an amulet and threw another one.

“Things are a little hairy and I am needed in Soul Society. That will assure you of your return my girl.” She said softly.

“Thank you Juria.” She murmured.

“I was almost like you Asuna. I had so much yoki and I frightened everyone. The one thing I wanted was ripped from me and I lost my mind. You lost as well and never did. You have been and will always be the stronger and better onna.” Juria stated softly.

“Thank you.” She said bowing low.

“Be careful my sweet.” She said kissing her forehead.

Asuna nodded and she walked through the portal. She was in the South of the Western Lands and she sat down on a boulder. She lifted her nose to see if she could catch the scent of anyone or anything she knew. She immediately caught the scent of Grimmjow in his Yamaneko form and she ran after him quickly. She caught him in his true form and he was stunning. His form was more heavily muscled and sinuous then that of a Yamaneko and his fur was longer like his sire's but he had swirling black spots along his body. She was stunned beyond all measure how beautiful he was. She knew why his father had fallen for his mother; if she was half as beautiful as her son then the Yamaneko lord had been doomed. He turned his head and he saw her. He moved sleekly over to her and lowered his eyes to stare at her.

“Grimmjow!” she whispered as she touched his face.

He roared softly and she held both sides of his face. She pulled his neko self forward and kissed him softly on his nose. He rolled his blue eyes and he changed form. She looked at him amused and he bowed.

“My Kamis you are a gorgeous beast.” She said in awe.

“Please!” he growled.

“You are!” she said smiling.

“What the fuck ever. Why're you here?” he asked softly as he took in her form.

“I have need of some answers.” She said smiling at him.

“Come here.” He said as he grabbed her.

Their lips were locked instantly and he jerked her hakama down. She was startled but she was being lifted up and Asuna had to wrap her legs around his hips to steady herself. He moved her slowly as he they made love right where they stood in the wooded hills. She felt forbidden pleasure course through her and his audacity continued to amaze her. She tried to keep her noises soft but he lifted one hand to her cheek.

“Don't hold back onna. Scream if you like.” He groaned out.

“We are close to the border. I have no wish to cause you issue.” She said nuzzling his neck.

“I don't give a crap. I couldn't give a shit if Hiroshi showed up this second.” He stated as he moved her more urgently.

She moaned loudly and took his lips with hers. He fell to his knees and he was rasping as they made passionate and wild love. She arched and moaned for him and he too groaned. They bodies were sweat covered and his rough tongue began suckling a breast.

“What in the Kamis name?” he heard above them.

“Fucking hell! Hiroshi go away!” Grimmjow snarled.

“Turn your head cretin!” Asuna said in anger.

“Oh you both owe some kind of explanation.” Hiroshi snapped as he stalked away.

Grimmjow was furious as he suddenly tore loose and began massaging her nub. She gasped and ended up yelling out as she climaxed rapidly. He grunted as he joined her and he lowered his lips to kiss her silly and he slowly pulled himself back. She managed to straighten her clothes and she was breathing deeply. He laced his fingers in hers and stared at her while their hearts returned to normal.

“I don't like you calling me Grimmjow. I want you to call me Haru.” He mumbled.

“I see you as Grimmjow.” She said smiling.

“Haru!” he said with a growl.

“Okay.” She said with a soft smile.

He scooted over to her and pressed his hand into her belly and he was rewarded with a kick. He closed his eyes and smiled as he felt his son move.

“Kamis. I want to see it so bad.” He said as he lowered his lips to kiss her swollen belly.

“He is quite good.” She said smiling at him.

“He? I'm having a son?” he asked smirking.

“Hai.” She laughed.

He groaned in annoyance and looked over at Hiroshi in the distance and he sighed. He sat up and waited for his half brother to come and stand before them. Hiroshi looked at Asuna with curiosity and she rolled her eyes.

“Interesting rutting partner Jagaharu.” Hiroshi snapped.

“Who I rut ain't your concern my lord.” Grimmjow said crossing his arms.

“Ordinarily no but she is the Western princess and heir.” Hiroshi growled.

“He knows who I am neko. Leave us alone as he is doing nothing wrong.” Asuna hissed.

“Jagaharu a word alone.” Hiroshi said crossly.

She watched her lover stand and stalk after his elder brother. They were talking animatedly and Asuna shoved away her annoyance as they pointed at her and she heard their arguing. Hiroshi was angry that Grimmjow had gotten to her and he had not. The Yamaneko prince was such an arrogant fool that he thought that she should have fallen at his feet. She managed to stand and her son kicked her so hard that she gasped. Grimmjow looked back in concern and Hiroshi punched him. Asuna moved so fast as she caught his fist. Grimmjow looked pissed off but refused to hit his older brother in return.

“You dare raise another hand to him you lousy and worthless cur and you will face your fate at the end of my fang. Do not dare touch what is mine.” Asuna growled in fury.

“He is the head of my army Lady Whore and I will do as I please.” Hiroshi snarled.

The inu princess lost her temper and pressed her palm to Hiroshi's chest and released her nami. He was thrown so far and hit a tree. Grimmjow grabbed her hand and stared at her shocked.

“Don't fucking kill him!” he growled.

“I will not tolerate his mistreatment of you!” she yelled.

“He's my brother if I like it or not Kamis damn it! My otousan will deal okay?” he said in anger.

“This babe in my womb is yours Grimmjow and my son will know his father!” she said growling.

Hiroshi staggered back and stared at the inu onna in shock. The reports of her yoki were not exaggerated and she could kill with just a touch of her hand. He had never seen a youkai release yoki as such. She turned to stare at him and she growled.

“Long ago there was an onna amongst the Combined Kingdom of the Tsuchigumo. Lady Ayana was her name and I am she. I bear her yoki still and I promise you that I could decimate you in less then a heart beat.” She snarled.

“You were a spideress?” Hiroshi asked shocked.

“Hai. I suggest you never raise a hand to your general again. This man is honorable and kind and I carry his son.” She said bowing and tried to leave.

“You can't just announce that you have my kit bitch. The lord'll have to see you.” Grimmjow stated in a sigh.

“Will you stop calling me bitch and refer to me as Asuna and I shall refer to you as Haru?” she asked in exasperation.

He nodded and she fell in step beside him. Hiroshi followed at a very staid pace and Grimmjow snickered under his breath.

“I think you made him piss his pants.” He laughed.

“Prick.” She said under her breath.

She grew bored and grabbed Grimmjow. She ported them to the Yamaneko palace and he looked pleased. He bid her follow him and she did. They entered a private wing and Grimmjow knocked loudly on the shoji door.

“Who is it?” she heard.

“It's Jagaharu my lord.” He yelled.

Lord Hikaru opened the door and he was shocked to see the inu princess with his bastard son. He motioned them in and Grimmjow sat on the floor across from a shrine.

“Hiroshi bothered the shit out of me.” He muttered.

“Forgive him.” Hikaru said in a glorious voice.

“Otousan he don't let up!” Grimmjow said meeting his sire's golden eyes.

“He is my eldest son Jagaharu. He will be lord if I pass on.” Hikaru stated flatly.

“Yeah well I've a right to my own life right?” Grimmjow growled.

“Of course you do. I wish I could proclaim you as my kit.” Hikaru stated a little uncomfortable.

“Pertaining to do that, how dare you deny him his birthright!” Asuna growled out.

“You are inu Princess Asuna and I know you have no idea of our ways. What I did was against my people, my faith, and my mate but I do love my son!” he said fiercely.

“So you rutted his mother and begot him only to deny him his rights? Fool! Jagaharu has more yoki then Hiroshi and Daichi together.” She snorted.

“Shut up!” Grimmjow hissed.

“You are inu and kiang shi! How could you understand this? You are of a canine nature and not feline. Do not dare lay your presumptions on me young onna. Jagaharu is settled upon quite generously I might add and has his own estates. He calls me father in private and my lord in public! Hiroshi and Daichi do not have so much freedom!” he said in anger.

“I carry his son.” She said raising a brow.

“That is your decision inu as well as his. I know your ways and I know he must be in love with you to put up with it.” Hikaru stated.

“Otousan please don't be rude to her.” Grimmjow said respectfully.

“As you wish but inform your lover that she stands in my lands and not hers.” Hikaru snapped.

“I know many of the feline ways Lord Hikaru. I know Lord Chen, Lord Chao, and I know Princes Ming Li and Quon Hu.” She said bluntly.

Both Grimmjow and Hikaru stared at her mentioning the tiger royalty. She looked at them both and Grimmjow stared at her hard.

“How'd you know all those names?” he asked.

“You know of me Haru. You know all about me and you ask me such a question?” she asked.

“Right.” He said softly.

“Interesting Lady Asuna. I was not aware that inu and tigers mingled.” He said.

“They normally do not but the Byakko are rather important youkai are they not?” she asked raising a brow.

“That they are. Chen is a powerhouse but then most Byakko are. Prince Quon is very young.” Hikaru stated.

“I know he is young. I know Quon.” She said in a tone that said drop it.

Hikaru smirked and he had suspicions but he nodded to her.

“Haru, show her some guest chambers. Pretenses and all. I imagine you two will be sharing a bed whilst you are here.” Hikaru stated.

“You would surmise right.” She said bluntly.

Grimmjow stood and his sire had pathed to him to return. His lover had created quite a mess for him and he showed her to some spare chambers near his.

“There's a passage way behind the statue in that room. I'll be in later.” He said in a heavy whisper in her ear.

“Hai.” She murmured.

He bowed quickly and he left. He had so many of the same manners as her Grimmjow but hers was more volatile and angry. She figured she would learn much by being here and intended to stay here for some time.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hikaru was pacing when his middle son returned. He bowed and he sat down across from him.

“How in the Kamis name did you become her lover?” he asked.

“The truth?” he asked his father.

“Hai! I want the whole story boy!” he sire growled.

“I like to hunt further north.” He said actually blushing.

“You have been in inu territory. Are you insane Jagaharu?” Hikaru snapped.

“NO! She likes to bathe out in the woods. I liked to watch her and she caught me.” He shrugged.

“So who took who as a lover?” Hikaru asked.

“Umm well she kinda showed up here and paid me back for spying on her.” He said laughing.

“Kamis son! She is the Western Heir! She just lost her mate and it is rumored she mated the Dark Hanyou himself!” Hikaru said snarling.

“She ain't from here. You know about that well in the east.” Grimmjow said.

“She is not from this era?” Hikaru stated shocked.

“Hai. She knows me then otousan. She was already pregnant. I can smell myself all over her.” He said sheepishly.

“Very interesting indeed. Something must be afoot for her to be here. Will she tell you?” Hikaru asked.

“Nope. I don't ask but she's said that she and I fight a lot.” He said grinning.

“Like your mother and I.” his sire said smiling.

“Hai sir. I know haha gives you shit.” Grimmjow snickered.

“You have your mother's mouth Jagaharu.” He said shaking his head,

“And her name. I've an inu to watch.” He said jumping up.

“Jagaharu, I wish for you to try and glean a little information from her. Find out her purpose.” Hikaru commanded.

“Do my best otousan.” He said ducking out of his father's rooms.

Hikaru walked into his room that held his futon and his unofficial mate was there in nothing but her spots. He smiled down at her lustfully and fell next to her.

“Your son is going to be a father.” He said in her ear.

“I heard. I will speak with him tomorrow.” Itzel stated softly.

“My beautiful love.” He said softly as he claimed her lips.

Itzel worried for Jagaharu and dealing with a canine was no good in her mind. She allowed her love to take her and she made plans to meet this mujer.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was on the futon and Grimmjow fell next to her. He could not keep his hands off of her and her little display of power in the woods had aroused him beyond measure. It seemed the females were strong on his mother's side and she was delighted it was so. She was lying on her side and she watched him. He looked over at her and it was unnerving him that she was staring at him.

“What?” he asked.

“Why do you do that?” she asked softly.

“Do what?” he demanded.

“Act like an ass after we share a beautiful moment?” she said getting up.

“Lay down!” he groused.

“No! I want to hunt.” She snapped.

“You're acting knocked up.” He snickered.

“I ought to hit you neko!” she growled.

“Well then you'd fuck up my luscious body.” He said putting his arms under his head.

“You are an arrogant and vain bastard.” She said storming away.

“Hai maybe but one you enjoy fucking!” he called.

A statue came flying at him and he caught the small figurine. He smiled widely and loved it when she became feisty and violent. It made him burn in so many ways to subdue a female of great strength. His father had come across his mother and the jaguaress had damn near taken Hikaru's head off. The couple had fought and his father had to force the foreign neko to heel and they had ended up rutting in a passionate haze or so they told him. He believed the story though and could imagine his mother tearing up his father. He remembered Hiroshi and Daichi's mother and she had been a timid little thing. He shook his head and stretched. He got up to dress and he heard knocking on his shoji.

“What?” he yelled out.

“Let me in.” Hiroshi snapped.

He sighed and went to the door and yanked it open. Hiroshi stepped in and punched Grimmjow in the jaw. He ended holding his jaw and he looked down.

“What the fuck do you think you are doing Jagaharu?” Hiroshi demanded.

“I'm in love with her okay?” Grimmjow snapped.

“How dare you go after a royal onna!” Hiroshi snarled.

“What bothers you more my Lord, the fact it's me she wants or it wasn't you?” Grimmjow asked in anger.

“That onna is the most powerful one on these islands and she should not ally herself with the likes of just a commoner!” Hiroshi stated in anger.

Grimmjow had never seen Hiroshi jealous and he hid a smirk. He bowed respectfully and went back to his closets.

“What does she see in you? You have no breeding or history!” the Southern heir ranted.

“I don't know my lord. I know we get along real good and she enjoys our time.” He shrugged.

“Damn foreign neko blood in you! You are just a nothing!” Hiroshi ranted.

Daichi poked his head in when he heard Hiroshi yelling and he saw Jagaharu just taking it. He sighed and walked in. He jerked Hiroshi towards the door and his elder brother had a major fit of temper. He went to hit the younger prince and Jagaharu suddenly came between them.

“You hit me Hiroshi but not him. He is a kit in comparison!” Grimmjow snarled.

“If you ever interfere again Jagaharu then you will be a dead man!” Hiroshi said as his eyes flashed red.

“If you ever raise a hand to Daichi again they'll be plucking your innards off the throne room wall.” Grimmjow hissed.

“Jagaharu please do not.” Daichi said in his soft tone.

“You let this mother fucker abuse you? You may but I won't majesty. Fuck you Hiroshi!” Grimmjow stated getting into the elder prince's face.

“I will have you thrown out of the kingdom!” Hiroshi snarled.

“Yeah try it ass wipe and you'll find your face at the end of my foot.” He snapped.

“Enough!” Daichi yelled.

“Don't ever allow someone to hit you or treat you bad my lord. You're twice the man that fucking prick is!” Grimmjow growled as Hiroshi stormed away.

“I know the truth brother; I am not stupid. You have always protected me from him but you have to tone down your actions. Father can only protect you so much. Hiroshi is not without power.” Daichi said softly.

“Well if you know the truth then I ain't gonna fucking hide it no more! Hiroshi must know too.” He said in anger.

“No, I do not think so. He is so wrapped up in his own head he would not see the truth unless it slapped him in the face. Thank you for your care of me big brother but I am grown now.” Daichi said softly.

“You ain't fucking grown. You don't even have all your yoki and until you do I am protecting your young ass.” Grimmjow hissed.

“Again I thank you.” Daichi said bowing.

“How's your lover?” Grimmjow asked.

“Well I suppose. She keeps putting off a mating.” He groused.

“Yeah well you're fucking young to mate anyway.” His elder brother snapped.

“Not you too! I lover her okay?” Daichi snapped.

“Well I can't believe otousan is allowing it but I'm just a general.” Grimmjow shrugged.

“Well you are sleeping with the Lady Asuna and she is a hell of a lot more volatile then Akemi is.” Daichi commented.

“Yeah well she is something.” Grimmjow agreed.

“Is it true she carries your kit?” Daichi asked.

“Hai she's gonna have my kit.” He nodded.

Daichi nodded and bowed to his elder half brother. He figured it out long ago and protected the secret as if it was his own. He adored Jagaharu more so then Hiroshi and he would protect the mongrel Yamaneko with his whole being. Itzel was good for their father and his own mother had been sweet but too emotional. It had driven their father away with her neediness. Itzel had to be tamed constantly and Hikaru loved it. He sighed and thought of his own lover. She was pushing him away more and he was getting maddened with need for her. He went to his own apartments to sleep off his loneliness.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was coming back from hunting when she was grabbed and thrown up against a retaining wall. She snarled and snapped her fangs at the Southern heir. His eyes were red and she could see he was pissed. She was growling in fury as he allowed his yoki to seep to his claws.

“You prissy little hussy! You like to fuck a neko?” he asked.

“Let me go Hiroshi!” she snarled.

“Well you are slumming this time whore. I shall show you what a REAL neko is like.” He said in a sneer.

Suddenly her yoki was drained and she choked as she felt heavy metal around her wrist. She was in shock and Hiroshi managed to drag her out of the palace grounds. He threw her to the ground and she began shrieking in fury. He ripped the yukata she wore and bared her body.

“Kamis!” he breathed in.

“Do not do this!” she snarled.

“I'll show you what your missing.” He said in a maddened tone.

He was deceptively strong and she struggled wildly. He grew furious with her and he ended up choking her. Her vision was swimming and she realized he had planned this out. She could not fight if she was unconscious. She tried to scream with her mind and soul but there was suddenly such intense pain that she could not think and she welcomed the blackness when it came.

He stared down at the bloodied inu and was quite satisfied that he had disgraced the Western whore. She was bleeding and torn up from his claws and his brutal use of her body. In his opinion it was about time someone taught the arrogant canines some manners. He left her outside of the palace and he had made sure his smell was not on her. He would appear just as shocked as the next neko. He sauntered back into the palace and took a long bath in the family hot springs. If he was lucky then she would miscarry the brat in her womb.

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

She rolled over and she hurt in so many places that she had to quash the pain. She knew she had been used and she felt between her thighs. She pulled back blood and semen and she shook. Asuna managed to stand and she found her yukata. She breathed deeply as her throat ached from the strangling and from tears. She found a tree to gather her bearings and she let loose a sob. She had truly no idea that Hiroshi had hated her so much and it made sense now. Ming Li's coronation made sense and she wanted her home. The blood flow was not stopping and she knew it was not good. Asuna stood up and moved quietly further south and she knew of a nest of kumo. Ishin in this time was not out in the open and she made it there by dawn. She saw a kumo warrior and the onna's eyes widened.

“I need help.” Asuna said hoarsely.

“This way.” The widow said as she helped her into the nest.

“We have a famed healer.” The widow said gently.

“Hai. His name is Nobu. I know him well.” Asuna said dully.

“He is in Japan my lady. I will send a runner for him.” She stated.

“Thank you.” She said as she sank to her backside.

She was afraid and she had a sick feeling that she was miscarrying. Tears fell down her face but she said nothing. She saw linen hakama and she stared up at Nobu. He knelt by her and she knew he knew her. He lifted her chin and searched her face.

“Who did this evil thing?” he asked softly.

“It does not matter. I need help please.” She said in a monotone.

“I would know who brutalized you!” he snarled

She met his eyes and she could see his face. He picked her up and produced a shoki cloud. He appeared at the Korean main palace and he laid her upon his private futon. He opened the yukata slowly and he about choked.

“Aya!” he yelled.

“Do not involve anyone healer.” She said softly.

“No! NO!” he yelled.

His sister ran in and she saw her. Her mouth dropped open and she saw Nobu's eyes.

“Aya can you assist me?” Nobu said choked up.

“Hai.” She whispered.

“Do I look that bad?” Asuna asked.

“It is bad my lady.” Nobu said.

She closed her eyes and nodded. She allowed herself to be cleaned and examined. Nobu was shaking badly and Aya was confused at his emotional state. He held her hands and she stared at his kind black eyes.

“You lost his twin.” He said choking.

“Kamis.” She whispered.

“Aya can you go get Ishin?” Nobu asked.

“Hai.” She said jumping up.

Aya ran out and he actually let a tear fall. She reached up and held his cheek and she pulled him down to her chest. He released a sob as he suffered their loss.

“Did I know?” he asked.

“Hai. You knew and we were happy.” She said as tears leaked from her eyes.

“Ishin will avenge me.” He said hoarsely.

“Nobu. You must listen to me. I will avenge her and not Ishin. This is our loss.” She said softly.

“She was my baby!” he said in fury.

“Hai she was.” She stated.

Nobu cleaned his face and waited on Ishin. The kumo lord slipped in and gasped at her. Nobu looked up and Ishin could see the pain in his best friend's face.

“She has returned to us. What happened inu?” Ishin said gently as he knelt near her.

“I was raped.” She said closing her eyes.

“Who my lady?” Nobu asked.

“It does not matter. I will make him pay.” She said in a tired tone.

“Ishin!” Nobu said imploring.

“Nobu what can I do?” Ishin said sadly.

“Nothing Lord Ishin. This is my fight and I will avenge my babe healer. You need not worry.” She said as she looked away.

“Ishin!” Nobu cried.

Ishin looked helpless and Nobu pulled away in anguish. Asuna could not afford to change too much and she had to stay and suffer in silence. She cried silently and softly as memories of Sorami ripped through her.

“Lord Ishin?” she whispered.

“Hai inu?” he asked softly.

“You and Nobu must not remember me. You must make Nobu forget and trust me please. I say this because it is too important okay?” she said hoarsely.

“I believe you. Why did this happen inu?” he asked incredibly gently.

“I refused someone and chose their brother.” She stated.

“You need to be avenged inu.” He said softly.

“And I will avenge myself Lord Ishin.” She whispered.

Ishin nodded and he stood. He went to Nobu who was in anguish and they spoke heatedly. Nobu came to her side and lifted her hand.

“I want this addressed in the future okay? Tell me so I can grieve!” he said choking.

She nodded and he allowed himself to be taken away. She pushed herself up and she felt her belly. Her Arrancar pup was strong to survive such trauma. She wanted to go home and feel Grimmjow's arms around her. She had left the amulet at the Yamaneko palace and she made herself port to the south. It was morning and she staggered forward. She masked herself and entered the chambers that had been given to her. She went to her clothes and she heard an angry snort. She turned to see Grimmjow and his face blanched when he saw her.

“Who did it?” he asked snarling.

“I was in a battle.” She lied.

“That's not a battle!” he snapped.

She wrapped her hand around the amulet and she was shaking. He came to her and lifted her chin and his eyes were reddened.

“Haru stop please.” She said in a wretched tone.

“Were you brutalized?” he demanded.

“It matters not.” She said as her voice cracked.

“The kit?” he asked holding her shoulders.

“He is well. My daughter did not make it.” She said in a hollow tone.

Grimmjow stepped back and his face twisted in horrendous anger. She heard his knuckles cracking and she sank to her knees.

“Tell me now.” He demanded.

“Haru, I cannot speak of what I do not know.” She lied.

“What do ya mean?” he asked with widened eyes.

“I was choked until I passed out. I did not see my assailant.” She stated in a whisper.

“You couldn't smell him?” he asked.

“Cloaking magics were used.” She replied.

His face blanched and he looked away. His gut twisted in hatred and he pretty well knew who would dare hurt her. He stormed away from her and he stalked to his father's chambers. He pounded on the shoji and kept pounding till he father slid open the door. He forced his way in and he saw his mother come to the hallway of the adjoining room.

“Jagaharu?” Itzel asked as her eyes widened.

“Why have you come in here at this time of morning Jagaharu?” Hikaru asked.

“Hiroshi! That fucking bastard did something fucking evil!” Grimmjow hissed.

“What are you rambling about?” his sire stated.

“My lover otousan was brutally raped! She was fucking raped and damn near strangled!” Grimmjow stated prowling the floor.

“That is a rather vicious thing to say about my heir Jagaharu.” Hikaru stated.

“Hikaru!” Itzel said in anger.

“Where is the proof?” Hikaru said raising a golden brow.

“Jagaharu, where is your mujer?” Itzel demanded.

“In the rooms next to mine.” He stated without looking at his mother.

Hikaru could not believe his eldest son would do something so heinous and he glared at his middle son. His mate slipped into the secret passage and he sighed.

“Where is your proof?” his father asked.

“There's no scent otousan. There is no proof.” Grimmjow said with a frightening growl.

“Did your kit survive?” he asked.

“Hai. He survived but his sister didn't.” he growled.

“I cannot accuse Hiroshi of such an act without proof Jagaharu.” Hikaru stated.

“Otousan don't say that! This one time don't favor him!” Grimmjow implored his sire.

“I am sorry Jagaharu but without something more concrete then I cannot.” His father stated in a sigh.

Grimmjow's eyes held incredible malice and hatred. He spit at his sire's feet and smashed through the shoji door. Hikaru was shocked at the display and went to dress in haste.

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

Itzel slipped into the room and she saw the perro female on the floor crying. She knelt down and lifted her chin.

“Dulce mujer, por favor no llores.” Itzel stated softly.

“Quién es usted?” Asuna whispered.

“You speak my native tongue. I am Itzel Grimmjow.” She stated gently in Japanese.

“You are his mother.” She said looking into brilliant blue eyes.

“Si.” She nodded.

“I will be well.” Asuna said looking away.

“Jagaharu will loose his head. I am taking you to my homeland and you will get well.” She said in a heavy accent.

“Why would you do this?” Asuna whispered.

“Because in your belly is my grand child and my beloved son worships you.” She said holding the inu princess.

“Where are you from?” she asked.

“I am from an area known as the Yucatan. Hikaru had come there to hunt and my father is a ruler. I did not take kindly to him on my grounds. When he subdued me is when our son was conceived.” She said brushing Asuna's hair back.

“I will come with you.” Asuna murmured.

“Jagaharu has accused his elder hermano.” Itzel stated.

“Hiroshi did this.” Asuna admitted.

“Then this kingdom is in trouble. Come hija.” She said pulling her up.

Asuna got a good look at the jaguaress and she could see that Grimmjow looked a lot like her. He had her markings around his brilliant blue eyes and her hair was a tawny gold color with very subtle black spots. Her skin was a lustrous brown and her spots extended to her body. Grimmjow stormed in and he saw his mother. He neared the onna and his face was wrathful and Asuna recognized the same look as one Grimmjow the Arrancar wore.

“We are going home Jagaharu.” Itzel said.

“Hai.” He stated in a growl.

“You accused Hiroshi of this and your papa was none too pleased?” Itzel asked.

“Fucker said there wasn't proof but the lack of proof was proof enough!” Grimmjow said in a tremendous snarl.

“Grimmjow.” Asuna said reaching for him.

“I'll fucking kill him and smear his Kamis damn blood on the walls of the fucking place!” he hissed.

“Jagaharu! Your mujer is in need. Calm yourself.” She said calmly.

Her lover grabbed her and held her tightly. He looked at his mother with tears pricking his eyes. Itzel was a taiyoukai and she took her son's hand. She created a tunnel and Grimmjow picked up Asuna. They walked through and they walked right into a jungle. Asuna was shocked at her surroundings and it was wild. Itzel led the way and they walked into the wilderness. Grimmjow was releasing a long and continuous growl to keep her calm.

“I did not say Hiroshi did it.” She mumbled.

“You didn't have to. Fucker's yoki is like all Yamaneko and it is undetectable.” He said with venom in his tone.

“You have to get over this.” She said in a hoarse whisper.

“You've got no clue about my beliefs do you?” he asked looking at her.

“You are half Japanese and half panther.” She mumbled.

“Honor isn't just a Japanese thing Suna. He hurt you in a way meant to hurt you and me.” He said staring straight ahead.

“He was sending you a message.” She stated in understanding.

“Why didn't you tell me you had another?” he asked in a harsh voice.

“Because I cannot explain that alright?” she asked with a trembling lip.

“He's gonna die.” Grimmjow said suppressing a hate filled voice.

“He hurt me Grimmjow.” She said.

“Hurting you hurt me okay?” he snarled in such emotion that she quieted.

Itzel looked back and she decided to get her son drunk this night. Her father would be here and she was grateful.

“Su abuelo está en casa.” Itzel stated loudly.

“Me alegra escuchar que la madre.” Grimmjow mumbled.

Asuna looked at him and she was becoming more intrigued by him. They entered a massive city with brilliantly colored buildings. She looked around shocked and Grimmjow seemed at home. Itzel walked into a stone palace.

“Father!” she called out in Spanish.

“Itzel! Daughter you are home.” Asuna heard a male call.

The male was dark skinned and his hair was streaked mostly black. His eyes were a dark brown and he was barely covered by a loin cloth and his hair was decorated with a headdress that depicted a jaguar. Grimmjow inclined his head and the male jaguar stared at her with interest.

“This is a Japanese noble woman Father. Her papa is a perro lord.” Itzel explained.

“So what does that have to do with you my nieto?” the Jaguar asked.

“She is my esposa abuelo.” Grimmjow said with a bowed head.

“A perro?” the Jaguar asked.

“Si.” He nodded.

Asuna knew Spanish but was respectfully silent. She could see Grimmjow was agitated and she realized he had the same mannerisms as his Arrancar self. Things were beginning to become clear to her and she suddenly struggled in his grasp.

“Please put me down.” She said in Japanese.

“Please speak Spanish.” Itzel commanded.

“Please put me down.” Asuna said in Spanish.

“Mujer? Why has my hija y nieto brought you here?” he asked.

“May I ask your name sir so that I address you with the correct honorific?” Asuna said bowing.

The Jaguar male looked shocked and grinned widely.

“Rey Nicteha.” He said smiling.

“I am Lady Asuna Orlovich Rey Nicteha. Your nieto and I are together. He believes that his half brother violated me.” Asuna said with another bow.

“Did this bastardo violate you mujer?” Nicteha asked.

“Niguno.” She said shaking her head.

Grimmjow snarled in fury and he stormed away. Nicteha watched his pride leave the palace and he roared to Itzel. She nodded and followed her son. The Jaguar ruler circled Asuna and he sat down and indicated for her to do so as well.

“Jagaharu Grimmjow is a passionate man. He feels keenly right now.” The mighty foreign neko ruler stated.

“He is an extraordinary man but I am thinking of the stability of the kingdoms in Japan.” She said staring straight ahead.

“You are a ruler.” He stated non-plussed.

“Si.” She said unemotionally.

“For my nieto to fall in love with a perro is saying something mujer.” Nicteha stated.

“I love him. Please have no doubts of my devotion to him. I am a warrior Rey Nicteha and I will avenge my murdered pup and my honor.” She said biting her lip.

“You are barely able to hold your composure perro. Why not allow your esposa the right to avenge you?” the jaguar asked.

“Because I am the cause of this! My arrogance caused this and I will not allow my mistake to cause an even worse situation! When I am fully healed then I will tell Lord Hikaru that Hiroshi did nothing!” She said growling.

“You take away my nieto's rights mujer.” He said.

“I am sorry. I am Japanese royalty sir and I can see that Grimmjow is royalty as well but I must do what is best for my country. Now I need rest.” She said standing.

“You are something perro. I will show you some rooms but know that Jagaharu will carry la quema de odio in his heart.” The old jaguar stated.

“Rey Nicteha you honor me by allowing me passage and to stay here. I will not overstay my welcome.” Asuna said in a formal tone.

The jaguar king shook his head and the perro female followed him. He knew his nieto well and the one known as Hiroshi would be a dead man.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Raganos could not be happier at the moment. Lei Jing was there telling him of his ventures in Japan. He laughed royally and sat back as Lei presented him a wrist.

“My king there is uproar in the south. The one known as Grimmjow has taken the dog to another land.” Lei stated.

“That little chit found the Arrancar alive. Extraordinary that she could do so. I wonder if the Arrancar Grimmjow remembers any of this.” Raganos mused when he finished feeding.

“How very odd to find a hollow before he became one.” Lei remarked.

“She is in love with him. I wonder what she is trying to avoid by being here.” Raganos stated with narrowed eyes.

“Perhaps she is trying to ascertain why he became a hollow in the first place?” Lei offered.

“Well you are more then just a pretty face.” Raganos said laughing.

Lei grinned and he had enjoyed using the wild cat's rage and jealousy to brutalize the dog female. He had enjoyed wrapping those hands around her neck and strangling her and he had enjoyed ripping her up and tearing her open. Raganos could see into his mind and he shook his head.

“They call me evil. You my vassal are a devil.” The wraith king laughed.

“Pain and pleasure majesty. Perhaps you need a demonstration?” Lei asked hopefully.

“What did you have in mind vassal?” Raganos asked.

“Allow me to show you.” Lei grinned.

“That would be a no. Bring me the Western Lady of Japan and I would be more than happy.” Raganos said sitting back.

“Too bad.” Lei stood up.

“You are serving me quite well Lei. Make sure you do not displease me.” Raganos warned.

“I assure you majesty.” Lei bowed.

“How would you like to return with me to the future era?” the king asked.

“That would be a pleasure I assure you.” Jing said smirking.

“The little chit had many sons and they are quite fetching I hear.” Raganos said absently.

“Very good.” Lei said bowing.

The Jing Clan leader went in the direction of his room and he grinned the whole way. Revenge was being had on the whore that had killed his best friend. He would enjoy seeing her whole damn family suffer.
