Internal Battles of Family and Enemy

 

Akemi was awake and she struggled to sit up. Ryukotsusei immediately came awake and helped her to standing. She walked to the door and she intended to see her baby.

 

“I spoke at length with the inu. He is good.” He murmured.

 

“Ryu do not do this.” She said holding back her guilt.

 

“Akemi listen to me! For once allow me to come to my own conclusions. You have given me over a millennium.” He said in a fierce sigh.

 

“Do not think I will abandon you now!” she snarled.

 

“No I am not suggesting that. I am suggesting that we change with the times.” He said softly.

 

“Wait. I am confused.” She said bewildered.

 

“Let us see her okay?” he asked as he walked alongside her.

 

Shinobu came up and he showed them to the NICU. Ang Chi was already there and she covered her mouth. She could see a tiny black haired pup with her eyes covered connected to tubes and a machine.

 

“Oh Kamis!” She cried.

 

“This is barbarous!” Ryukotsusei said shocked.

 

“I know it looks bad but she is doing better this morning.” Nanami stated from behind them.

 

“Nanami what is going on?” She asked.

 

“Cousin normal inu births are close to seven months. She was born at five months. She still needs to grow some before she can go home. She is tiny but she has a strong aura.” Nanami stated smiling.

 

“What did I do? Oh Kamis what did I do?” she asked horrified at herself.

 

Ang Chi heard the ruckus and he walked outside. He walked up to her and pulled her into a hug. He met Ryukotsusei's eyes and he knew this was okay. They had talked long into the evening and he understood so much about the dragon lord.

 

“Nami can they see her? Akemi we have to name her.” He stated softly.

 

“Hoshi. I want to name her Hoshi.” Akemi said as tears poured down her face.

 

“Okay. We will name her Hoshi. She needs her haha.” Ang Chi stated.

 

Nanami led her into the area to wash her hands and Ryukotsusei stood by his new friend.

 

“When do you wish to join us in He Gang?” Ang Chi asked.

 

“As soon as possible. My lands I am sure were overrun by mortals.” The dragon stated.

 

“Hai. My lord I do love her.” Ang Chi stated.

 

“I know you do. I love her as well and so did the neko. I feel such tremendous guilt that I intend to do right.” He said watching the love of his life.

 

“She will think us crazy.” He said.

 

“So be it.” He said following in after his mate.

Asuna had lost her mind when she had arrived home. Naraku was missing and Kenji's body was laid out in state. She was so furious and she could not understand why. He was utterly innocent and never was her gentle Kenji a warrior. She was guarding his body in her true form and she had damn near snapped Nobu's arm off for trying to touch him.

 

“Asuna my heart you have to let us inter him!” Nobu snapped.

 

She was growling in fury and she lowered her crimson gaze. Nobu recognized her feral mind. He sighed and Ishin was a wreck too. He stood trying to convince her.

 

“Asuna please. Inu please!” Ishin cried.

 

She butted her nose at Ishin and he met her scarlet eyes with tears in his own eyes.

 

“I am sorry. I should have guessed they would go after him. Inu please, I feel Naraku and he is in a murderous rage. Please!” Ishin cried again.

 

She lifted her head and howled in her agony. Ishin and Nobu covered their ears and she sat up completely. She scented the air and she changed form. She ported out and they sighed.

 

“Naraku is going to tear something apart with his bare hands.” Ishin muttered.

 

“I know. I feel it too.” Nobu stated.

 

Asuna appeared in the forest around the castle and she changed back into her true form. She lifted her nose and scented the air. She followed the distinct scent and she found Amedeo in his true form as well. He lifted his body quickly and neared her. She began growling and he moved back. She noticed he would move like a snake by tucking his legs close to his body. She changed back into her humanoid form and her face was drenched in tears.

 

“Why did you leave my home?” she demanded.

 

“I followed you.” He said watching her.

 

“I cannot do this right now basilisk!” she cried in anger.

 

“Why do you fret?” he demanded of her.

 

“The fucking Shouten just murdered one of my sons! He was no warrior and he was gentle!” she screamed in rage.

 

He changed form instantly and pulled her into his arms. He wrapped his cloak around them both and he held her.

 

“You must avenge him si?” he asked softly.

 

“Why are you being so kind? Do basilisks not eat their own young?” she demanded.

 

“That is a myth.” He snapped.

 

“Why do you care?” she said wiping her face.

 

“My children and wife were wiped out to the wyvern. I was the Rex of Latium.” He murmured into her ear.

 

“Latium? The mortal tribes?” she asked dumbly.

 

“Have the daemons not ruled these lands far longer then humans? Did the humans not pick up your languages?” he asked gently.

 

“Hai they have.” She nodded.

 

“It is the same all over the world. We daemons ruled all the lands of the world before the damn mortals overran us.” He growled.

 

She nodded and allowed him to hold her. She felt wretched and he actually was rather gentle for such a fearsome youkai.

 

“What was your wife's name?” she asked softly.

 

“Valentina.” He replied pressing his forehead to hers.

 

“You hate the wyvern.” Asuna stated flatly.

 

“Si.” He sighed.

 

“How many children?” she asked.

 

“She bore me eleven children; seven boys and four girls.” He said holding her tighter.

 

“They were all killed?” she asked with a trembling lip.

 

“Si. Valentina had been so brutally raped that she was torn asunder. They burned her body and hung her from the rafters of my palace.” He said hoarsely.

 

“Amedeo!” she stated horrified.

 

“My sons were crucified and my daughters burned at the stake.” He said pulling away.

 

“Oh Kamis.” She said trembling harder.

 

“I lost my mind. It was about land and it was about the fact I was a black basilisk.” He said clenching his hands tightly.

 

“What did you do?” she asked softly.

 

“What was left of my kind I gathered together and hunted down the wyvern like the vermin they were. Most of my people were wiped out. There are probably less then fifty of us left. I imagine the rest are asleep as well.” He said looking at the west.

 

“You went to hibernate somewhere between eighty eight and seventy eight B.C.” she replied.

 

“I was unsure of the year but I think si.” He nodded.

 

“You were asleep for sixteen centuries when I found you.” Asuna remarked.

 

“That is a long while.” He said turning to her.

 

“You think perhaps the wyverns came looking for you?” she asked softly.

 

“Si. I was cruel. I was evil.” He said in a hoarse voice.

 

“Amedeo.” She said holding his face between her palms.

 

“I think perhaps that your dragons either joined the wyverns and some fought them. I think perhaps I was being guarded by that one dragon so that he could inform against me.” He stated meeting her eyes.

 

“Do you think the Shouten joined in?” she asked with a quivering lip.

 

“Si.” He whispered.

 

They stared at the other and he pulled her forward by her neck. He held her face between his humanoid hands as she did with him.

 

“I wish to assist you. If I brought my enemies here to your door then I need to stop them.” He said evenly.

 

She just stared at him and he used his thumbs to brush away her tears.

 

“I know the pain of loosing young. I know the agony of watching them die and having to cremate them.” He said in an almost baritone voice.

 

“I forgot the Latin cultures tended to burn their dead.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Si.” He stated pulling her into his arms.

 

“You are not an evil beast. You were driven by hate that was justified.” Asuna remarked.

 

“Perhaps but this amazing femmina woke me up and she tasted so very enticing.” He smiled softly.

 

She smiled a little and his story floored her. His silent anguish haunted her and his desire to help made her hopeful.

 

“Do not let me love you.” He said brushing his thumb along her cheeks.

 

“I will remind you constantly that I am a damn mammalian.” She teased a little.

 

“That will help.” He said with a ghost of a smile.

 

She moved to pull away from him but he held on tight. He lifted his hands and tipped her head back a little and made her look at him.

 

“I was ready to kill you when you woke me up. I was angry that you had woken me up so I had to remember and feel my pain.” He stated softly.

 

“Why say that?” she asked staring at his eyes.

 

“I am yearning for more then revenge now. I will see justice for you.” He stated fighting himself.

 

It was not his nature since Valentina had died to care about another female.

 

“My reactions to you surprise me. Si I will find any reptiles who have raised arms against these lands and they will die at my feet.” He said whispering.

 

He suddenly began kissing her and she whined softly into the kiss. She whimpered as his tongue swept into her mouth and he literally brought her to her knees. She sank to her knees and he followed as he finally let her lips go.

 

“When I was in Italy the mammals were as mindless as the very old ones you mentioned. They were about as refined as swine. You are stunning femmina and you are bringing me joy.” He stated softly.

 

“Thank you. I have to go Amedeo.” She said trying to pull away.

 

“When do you speak of my existence Asuna?” he asked refusing to let her go.

 

“Not when I have to say goodbye to one of my children. Let me tell you about Kenji. His twin Iyo was murdered recently as well. She was brought back to life as a wraith and now this. These two are what kept my family together after a kumo bitch in Europe murdered four of my pups. Now I am falling to pieces okay?” she asked in a pained whisper.

 

“I will follow silently. You may know I am near but I will not be seen.” He said kissing her forehead.

 

He released her and she ported to Kenji. She felt Naraku and she felt his deep well of hatred. She walked into where her son was laid out and she knelt by him. She took his lifeless hand and kissed it as tears fell silently.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naraku followed the Arrancar and he had watched as the male had effortlessly rid himself of lesser Shouten. They were hunting the ruling family and Naraku would settle for nothing less.

 

“You were youkai once.” Naraku stated as Grimmjow stalked the sand.

 

“So?” he asked.

 

“You were someone in the other realm Arrancar. Who were you?” Naraku demanded.

 

“I don't fully remember. You remember who you were before you became a fucking hanyou?” he snapped.

 

“Hai I do. I am the culmination of two souls.” He growled.

 

“So you're like one of those split personalities?” he demanded.

 

“Shut up Arrancar.” Naraku snarled.

 

“What the fuck ever.” Grimmjow snapped.

 

They walked forward and Naraku looked annoyed as he stared at the white expanse.

 

“This is what you live in? No wonder you keep pestering the shit out of us.” He muttered.

 

“You know what asshole I'm getting really sick of looking at you. What the hell were ya before a Kamis damn emperor?” Grimmjow asked with a sneer.

 

“No just a lord and a thief.” He sneered back.

 

They were bickering back and forth when Grimmjow was suddenly thrown forward and blood erupted from his gut. Naraku's eyes widened when he was attacked as well. He moved faster and grabbed the invisible Shouten. The male rolled and jumped up as he saw a Japanese daemon.

 

“Why are you here bastard?” he growled.

 

“Trying to figure out which one of you sorry pestilence killed my son!” he growled.

 

“Oh did the little daemon die? Well good!” the wraith said cruelly.

 

Grimmjow moved so fast and his foot connected with the wraith and he was thrown some distance. Naraku watched in shock as the Arrancar released his cero in short bursts and the Shouten tried to move. He shoved his hand straight threw the gut of the young male and he sputtered.

 

“You bastard!” he said.

 

“Die fucker!” Grimmjow said pressing his hand to the Shouten's head and releasing a huge amount of cero.

 

Naraku had a cruel smirk and the other Shouten came at him as she shrieked. Naraku turned to see the female who had nearly killed Rishou and had decimated Iyo. He made a decision that he thought he would not employ again. Several tentacles erupted and wrapped around Thei's neck and she began to release her shoki.

 

“You do that onna. Go right ahead and release all your yoki. I have nothing but time.” He said as his eyes glowed.

 

“Your Arrancar killed Miral!” she snarled.

 

“Good. One less Shouten to pollute the world.” Naraku laughed.

 

Grimmjow came over ready to strike and Naraku motioned him away. Thei struggled and she tried in vain to escape him.

 

“You know Rishou is just like me but he has not bothered to use all of his yoki. That is it bitch keep struggling.” Naraku smirked.

 

Grimmjow did not understand what he was doing and he raised his hand to release his cero and he turned when he felt Ulquiorra. Naraku barely glanced at Iyo and the Fourth Espada as he just gripped the female Shouten tighter.

 

“No Ulquiorra.” Iyo said calmly.

 

“She hurt Rishou and she killed you. She is trash!” he said with a little emotion.

 

“Watch,” she said calmly.

 

Thei felt her power draining quicker as she struggled and she actually shrieked in fear. Naraku was as calm as could be as she tried in vain to escape him. He was empowered by his hate and he just stared at the whore.

 

“She is trash.” Ulquiorra stated in a louder tone.

 

“Hai she is trash.” Naraku agreed.

 

“What the fuck you doing?” Grimmjow snarled.

 

“He is absorbing her.” Iyo commented.

 

“What?” Grimmjow asked confused.

 

Thei began struggling harder and she managed to break the tentacle a little. Naraku erupted more tentacles and they wrapped around her limbs. It never showed but his fury was evident as he literally ripped Thei apart. He dropped what was left of her and blood sprayed everywhere. Ulquiorra said nothing but he suddenly respected the hanyou immensely. Iyo wondered why her other father was here but she knew something awful must have happened. Grimmjow was laughing manically and Naraku turned.

 

“Iyo.” He said opening his arms.

 

She ran to him and hugged him tightly. He refused to release her as he held her.

 

“Kenji was killed.” He muttered in anguish.

 

“No!” she cried.

 

“I am sorry sweetheart.” He said softly.

 

“No! No! No!” she said beginning to scream.

 

He just held her up and Ulquiorra looked calm but Naraku could see the agitation in the Arrancar.

 

“I came to avenge him. I will not stop till I found out who killed him.” He whispered.

 

“I want my fang! Retrieve my fang chichi!” she growled in hatred.

 

“I will do that.” He said softly.

 

“You wanna hunt some more?” Grimmjow asked.

 

“I want to return home for now. You need to see your son.” Naraku stated without feeling.

 

Ulquiorra watched in fascination but he followed the hodge podge group. He knew the hanyou was powerful but this upsurge of yoki was due to rage. Iyo was in a rage and she was reeling. He was concerned for her as she carried his child.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Iyo stood by her brother's body and the bloody tears fell down her face. Her father stood behind her and she turned and he wrapped his arms around him.

 

“Chichi!” she said bawling.

 

“I know baby girl. We need to inter him.” Ishin said softly.

 

“No please Chichi no!” she said grabbing his haori.

 

“Iyo we have to baby.” Ishin said holding her tightly.

 

“NO!!” she screamed.

 

“Iyo where are you going?” Ishin cried as she phased out.

 

She appeared in Astana on her now home plane and she searched in vain for one of two Shouten. She stormed into the palace and several soldier tried to grab her. She waved them away with her mind and she was surprised she still had the ability. Nveid and Hanaj came out and stared at her.

 

“One of your kind killed my brother! I want to know who killed my twin!” she screamed.

 

“I know not what you speak of.” Nveid said shrugging.

 

“If you do not know then you will turn him too! I cannot loose him; I will die! I cannot loose him!!!” she said falling to her knees.

 

“Perhaps Hanaj you would be willing to help this woman.” Nveid said under his breath.

 

“You bastard.” Hanaj hissed.

 

“Can you assist her or not? Since you turned her I am sure you can turn this boy.” Nveid shrugged.

 

“Tell your mother I am sorry. Tell her I did not kill him.” Hanaj said fading out.

 

“You had better not have killed him. I will murder you myself. Your sister is dead by the way. Chichi N ripped her apart.” She said staring at him hatefully.

 

“Excuse me?” he asked shocked.

 

“The one that killed me? Hai she is dead and I must say it was a sight.” She said coldly.

 

“Thei is dead?” he asked dumbfounded.

 

“Hai and Naraku absorbed most of her powers before she died. You had better not have killed him.” She said phasing out.

 

Iyo hated what she was doing to her brother but she knew she would die without him alive. She watched Hanaj as they were both invisible. She watched Kenji gasp awake and she immediately went to him.

 

“I am sorry. Please I am so sorry.” Hanaj stated slipping away.

 

“Iyo?” he asked in a guttural snarl.

 

“Hai. Come! This way.” She said taking him and phasing out.

 

She felt horrendous guilt but she pressed his mouth to her throat. She was selfish and she had condemned him but she could not exist without him. She hated that his life was over in the normal world and he basically had lost Eriko. He finally pulled back and his eyes looked at her.

 

“I am sorry. I could not let you stay that way.” She said in a hoarse whisper.

 

“I prayed you would do this. I am so hungry.” He said clutching his stomach.

 

“Kenji you will have to feed a lot. Come I will show you.” Iyo said pulling him.

 

“When I realized I was going to die I hoped you would come for me.” He said grabbing a hold of her tightly.

 

“Kenji, I am sorry.” She said beginning to cry again.

 

“No. It is okay. We are together. We are together and that is all that matters.” He said holding onto her tightly.

 

“What of Eriko?” she asked.

 

“I can only focus on you right now. I have been wishing for death. Iyo I cannot exist on any plane without you. I cannot think without you near.” He said shaking.

 

“I know. I know brother.” She said holding onto him tightly.

 

She realized they were going to always have to exist together. They were practically one in the same anyway. All of her siblings who were twins were this way. They never separated and she did not understand her own mother and her twin. She took him into the desert in Hueco Mundo to start his existence on this plane.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“You killed her and now Kenji is gone?” Asuna asked in utter disbelief.

 

“Hai I killed her and now I have some wraith abilities.” Naraku said.

 

“You and Grimmjow worked together?” she asked stunned.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“You invited him back here to visit Haruya?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” He nodded again.

 

“Why?” she asked more stunned.

 

“Because inu…he will serve us better if he is part of us. I will learn to like him. I hated Ishin too remember?” he asked irritated.

 

“Hai I remember.” She said in surprise.

 

“Look this has to end! Iyo probably had Kenji turned. It only makes sense seeing as how close they were.” Naraku said calmly.

 

“You say that as if it is a good thing.” She said in disbelief.

 

“Hai it is! If he is dead to this plane then I rather my son alive in some manner! I will not loose another pup do you understand me? The pain of loosing Nori and Ken'ichi nearly did me in. I will not see another son of mine die!” he snarled.

 

“Naraku…I…” she tried to say.

 

“You are off hunting the Shouten in other eras and you stumble upon this massive invasion of the Ryuku Islands. We will move against the damn Shouten once and for all. We will start taking them out one by one. I will go to your mutt father and offer him my yoki in order to kill this Raganos fellow but it will happen. The Shouten will die.” He said in a very Naraku of old like tone.

 

She was floored and she saw Grimmjow in the doorway. He was grinning and he stepped into the room.

 

“Sounds good to me.” He laughed.

 

“Even the Arrancar agrees. I have to go. Please watch her Grimmjow as she now has my child within her.” Naraku commanded.

 

Grimmjow snorted and Naraku stepped into his miasma. She turned to him and he was grinning wider.

 

“You know I can like how he thinks.” He smirked.

 

“Very well. You managed to worm your way into the family proper. Welcome.” She said softly.

 

“Yeah I'm like a bad coin. I turn up all over the damn place. He came to me bitch. He came to me and I ain't gonna turn down an opportunity to see my boy.” He growled.

 

“I know you miss Haruya.” She sighed.

 

“Hai. You're damn right I do. Now I gotta go. See ya round sweetheart.” He said pulling her to him.

 

He began kissing her madly and she began to shake against him. She moaned loudly into the intimacy and he pulled back. He left suddenly and she sighed. Things had just become even more complicated.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was sitting beneath a tree and she was still in shock. Iyo had appeared to deliver Hanaj's message. She was feeling angry and relieved at the same time. She knew he was near and she turned to look at the huge serpent in a coil. His eyes were closed and she watched him. He was asleep she could tell and she stood up. She moved close and she began to run her hands along his skin. His scales were smooth and graduated from black to a reddish underbelly.

 

“Again femmina you are insane for coming up on a sleeping basilisk.” He remarked.

 

“Hush. I wanted to feel your skin.” She said glaring at him.

 

“You are not afraid.” He stated.

 

“No. Two of my mates are kumo which means spider. They are huge black funnel web spiders in their true forms. They do not frighten me at all.” She said running her hands along the patterned skin.

 

“Your hands feel good. Please do not stop touching me.” He stated.

 

“I will not stop.” She murmured.

 

He changed form and began to place soft kisses on her face. Asuna reached up and he ended up holding her tightly.

 

“I need to return to Italy and see if I can find anymore black basilisk still alive.” He murmured as his sultry lips lightly touched her cheeks.

 

“I see.” She muttered.

 

“I want to sleep next to you and revel in your heat.” He said tipping her head back and placing kisses along her neck.

 

“Hai. I cannot get your story out of my mind.” She stated as she was getting aroused quickly.

 

“I do not want to think about it.” He mumbled.

 

“Amedeo.” She stated wrapping her arms around his upper body.

 

“I want you.” He demanded.

 

“Can you wait till you return?” she asked softly.

 

“No. I do not think I can control myself around you femmina. You bring out my lust too much.” He purred in her ear.

 

“You said basilisk are very lecherous creatures.” She stated with a soft laugh.

 

“Si. Why do you think Valentina had so many young?” he asked running his hands over her body.

 

“I make your wife look pious.” She teased.

 

“You must have born more young then she.” He stated lustfully.

 

“Hai. Many more.” She laughed.

 

“So you make your men like slobbering idiots?” He asked.

 

“Maybe or maybe they make me that way.” She said smiling.

 

“I am taking you now. What is the natural way for your kind?” he demanded.

 

“On all fours.” She asked suddenly hot.

 

“Then do not make me wait femmina.” He said in her ear.

 

She stepped back and took off her shirt and jeans. She stripped out of her bra and panties next and his gaze was sultry. He realized she was siren like and he tried to fight his overwhelming lust. His own kind used to steal away other mammalian females that were pretty and keep them as concubines. He had never done it but he was determined to keep this female. He stripped his own clothing and she got on her hands and knees. He realized what a submissive position this was and he was inflamed beyond all reason. He tried to prepare himself for her heat but he could not. He choked back a growl as the pleasurable heat scorched him and he lost himself. They affected the other oddly but the coupling was addicting to the point of obsession. His hands gripped her hips so tightly that he bruised her and he roared out loudly as he climaxed as she gripped him in the midst of her own. He slowly pulled back and lay on the ground. He pulled her flush and she was panting out.

 

“I will go soon.” He groaned into her ear.

 

“Hai.” She said sleepily.

 

He fell into oblivion and Asuna had no hope of breaking his grip. He was simply the most powerful youkai she knew. Kaito was pretty damn powerful too but this was a corporeal youkai. Asuna could see his dreams and they were violent and bloody. She was able to see the youkai in his dreams and she realized that it was a wyvern that had held Grimmjow's head in her vision. She began shaking and he was roused. He was sleepy as he came to and he looked at her.

 

“Asuna? Why are you shaking?” he demanded.

 

“Your dreams! I saw what you were dreaming.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“Okay.” He said confused.

 

“Amedeo please let me up.” She said pushing him away.

 

“Femmina explain.” He demanded again.

 

“The wyverns. I have seen them in a vision. They are what attack in the Ryuku Islands. They kill someone I love very much.” She said and she suddenly became sick.

 

He watched her begin to vomit horribly and he came next to her and held her hair.

 

“Asuna. Femmina listen to me. Just because it happened does not mean we cannot change it. You have a way of traversing the fabric of time and I will not allow those beasts to destroy another land!” he growled.

 

“That is just it! Why did they come here? Is it seriously because of one basilisk or are you not telling me something?” she demanded.

 

“What else shall I tell you?” he asked.

 

“Why did they attack a fellow reptilian youkai? Why? What was their purpose?” she demanded.

 

“Valentina was wyvern.” He stated gritting his teeth.

 

“Did you kidnap her?” she demanded.

 

“She was the wife of a ruler. We saw each other and she left him that night.” He said flushing.

 

“You stole another male's onna!” she said stunned.

 

“It was love femmina.” He growled.

 

“Your actions let the wyverns loose on your kind!” she said in anger.

 

“That was eons ago.” He growled at her.

 

“Why come here?” She demanded.

 

“Perhaps the Shouten appeal to them?” he asked.

 

“And they found out that their former enemy and mate stealer just happened to be in hibernation here?” She asked growling loudly.

 

“I was asleep! You think him justified in killing my wife? You think my children deserved their fate?” He asked in fury.

 

“Hell no! You just do not go around stealing another powerful male's mate!” She said in disbelief.

 

“Valentina was my life femmina! I loved her as she loved me. How can you understand that?” he snarled.

 

“You think I do not know love? You have no idea what I know or feel.” She said staring at him.

 

He had no desire to fight with her and he did have a sordid past. He had always been an amorous man and he took what he wanted. He was born royalty and he had acted like it.

 

“I fell in love. I took her because she was beautiful and when we together, I have never known such happiness. I took her because I needed her.” He said hoarsely.

 

“I am sorry you lost everything. I am just reeling and in confusion as to why my family members had to suffer.” She said looking down.

 

“I swore I would help you defend that family.” He said almost coldly.

 

“Do not dare shut yourself off now!” she growled at him.

 

“Do not presume to EVER tell me what to do femmina. I am powerful.” He said bluntly.

 

She walked straight up to him and stared him straight in the eyes. He was agitated and he realized he wanted her. He wanted her for himself and he bristled.

 

“You are powerful but so am I.” she said calmly.

 

“I told you do not let me love you.” He said frigidly.

 

“Oh?” she asked raising a brow.

 

“Si.” He said in a challenging tone.

 

“Shall we now be enemies?” she demanded.

 

“No. I am not your enemy. I may end up your other lovers enemy but not yours.” He said gritting his teeth hard.

 

“I have things that need doing. I thought you said you were going to Italy.” She stated in agitation.

 

“Si. Will you get your agitation out of your system?” He asked sardonically.

 

“Sure I will get right on that whilst I remember Haru's head ripped from his body.” She said growling.

 

“Who is Haru?” he asked.

 

“Grimmjow Jagaharu. His name now is Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez.” She replied.

 

“I assume that since his head was ripped from his body that this person is dead.” He stated.

 

“He became another manner of being called an Arrancar.” She said sighing.

 

“Explain?” he demanded.

 

“Hollows are souls that are trapped upon this plane then degrade from their emotions. Arrancar are powerful hollows that have achieved shinigamification. Shinigami are death gods and are the guardians of the dead.” She explained.

 

“Strange land.” He remarked.

 

“It is every land Amedeo.” She said raising a brow.

 

“Well then. I shall be in this modern Italy looking for my brethren.” He said stiffly.

 

She nodded and he ported away. She felt a sort of relief at his absence. She sighed and she ported to the Western Palace. She intended to go through the study and the library for more information. She felt heaviness in her chest and she intended to push Amedeo away. She had no time for overly powerful or overly jealous males. She remembered Trajan's temper and he had been mortal.

Anupu was bored and he hated being bored. He watched the silver inpu that had been her general in the past. He sat up and walked near Yuudai.

 

“Walk with me.” He stated.

 

“Hai?” Yuudai asked as he watched Ken'ichi and Nori play.

 

“You are still in love with her?” Anupu asked.

 

“I have always loved her.” Yuudai shrugged.

 

“Funny me as well.” He said shaking his head.

 

“Why tell me this?” He asked.

 

“Because it seems that her kumo loved ones manage to keep her quite busy.” Anupu stated staring out into the rich lands of the West.

 

“Hai they have always managed to do that. They are very cunning.” Yuudai shrugged.

 

“You know my friend, the times in which I lived…there were occasional women like her. She is not odd to my people.” He stated.

 

“Hai I know. It seems we have had a couple like her here too. Hell she was one of those former onna.” He shrugged.

 

“She has her kumo family.” He replied.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“She needs reminding of her inpu nature.” He said slyly.

 

“Are you suggesting we do as those three do?” He asked shocked.

 

“Why not?” Anupu asked.

 

“You are serious.” Yuudai said complete shock.

 

“Yes I am serious and you know it would please me to no end to keep her busy.” Anupu said smirking.

 

“You know when I was young I would have lost my head at the suggestion but I got used to her and Naraku.” He shrugged.

 

“Think on it my friend. I think I shall hunt.” Anupu stated.

 

Yuudai mused on the older inu's words and delight at keeping her from her kumo loves delighted him. They were decent but they were not inu. He moved on and continued to think.

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

“What are you reading?” he asked.

 

“Legends of wyverns.” She said looking up.

 

“Delightful beings. Big, ugly, and gruesome in their true forms.” Anupu said sitting beside her.

 

“What an observation.” She smiled softly.

 

“Well I have seen them a few times. I fought a couple as well.” He stated taking the book from her hands.

 

“What are you doing Anupu?” She asked.

 

“I want attention. I had a hundred wives you know.” He said smiling.

 

“Poor Anupu. He is not Pharaoh Hor-aha at this time.” She said staring into his deep brown eyes.

 

“No, I am not but I am still a king.” He said settling her in his lap.

 

She was surprised but he just held her. He tucked her head under his chin and let out a low growl. She was comforted and she clutched at him.

 

“I am sorry about your son. He was a soft spoken boy if I remember right.” He stated gently.

 

“He is now a Shouten.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Would you tell me the truth if I asked?” he demanded.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“How many inpu lovers do you have?” he asked running a hand through her hair.

 

“Four.” She said in a low voice.

 

“Including me I think.” He said chuckling.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“I am going to make love to you now.” He said softly as he began to nip at her neck.

 

“Anupu.” She managed to moan softly.

 

He lightly bit along her tender skin and she was moaning out more. Anupu looked up and there stood Yuudai and Asuna was a little out of it.

 

“Karuson?” she asked confused.

 

“Chuusin.” He said sitting near them.

 

“What is going on?” She said widening her eyes.

 

“I think we are taking an opportunity.” Yuudai stated.

 

Anupu smiled as Yuudai undid her trousers and pulled them down slowly. Anupu looked at the other inu slyly and Yuudai watched his longtime best friend and lover. Anupu nodded slowly and Yuudai gently lowered his lips to her silver curls. She gasped loudly as she felt his tongue laving along her opening. Anupu very gently opened her shirt and he brushed his fingers along her peaks. She released a guttural groan as he released his heat. Anupu held her firmly as the silver inu began to ruthlessly pleasure her.

 

“This is normal for us remember?” he whispered softly in her ear.

 

“Too much!” she whined in inu.

 

“No. You let your kumo lovers take you as such. You need this. You need us.” The Egyptian inu said huskily.

 

She began moaning louder and Yuudai knew her body. He had known her body since she had been a toddler. She was gasping in deep breaths as she began to see red. They were bringing her a massive release and Yuudai was incredibly sensual. Her claws gouged Anupu as she suddenly screamed out. She heard Yuudai in a distant way and he was growling softly. Her Egyptian lover lowered his lips and kissed her silly and Yuudai was entranced. He never thought he would do many things but at this moment he did not care. They continued to ravish her and she was on overload. She finally passed out after a glorious afternoon and they ended up all sleeping in heap in their true forms. Anupu was the first to change back and Yuudai followed suit.

 

“She needs rest.” Anupu said stretching,

 

“I must say that was amazing.” Yuudai said sheepishly.

 

“It was normal for my people. She mentioned something that I intend to investigate. Any inu that I should know of?” Anupu asked smirking.

 

“Well Lord Tekeshi is alive.” Yuudai said thinking.

 

“He is a good sort I have heard. I was in love with her as Akana and you loved her in this life. Now this Tekeshi was during her other lifetime correct?” Anupu asked.

 

“Hai. Lady Sorami.” He nodded.

 

“There is another.” Anupu said thoughtfully.

 

“What are you suggesting my lord?” Yuudai asked.

 

“We play house my friend. Think on it.” Anupu said walking away.

 

Yuudai was flabbergasted but think on it he did. She was still passed out and in her true form. He sighed as he neared her. He knew she was reeling from Kenji's situation and he felt for her. He watched her sleep and he leaned against her silky side.

Akemi was sitting near her tiny baby and she hated herself. She had put her pup in danger and she could not forgive herself. She looked up and saw Juria standing there and she was shocked.

 

“This was not supposed to happen.” She said

 

“What was supposed to happen?” Akemi asked with tears in her eyes.

 

“She was supposed to be okay. She will be okay but she has had a rough start.” Juria stated softly.

 

“What the hell is going on?” Akemi cried.

 

“Asuna thinks the Shouten are going to start scrambling. She thinks she has discovered exactly what beings attacked the Ryuku Islands. She also stumbled upon an ancient basilisk.” She said tensely.

 

“I thought she assumed that it was basilisks that attacked.” Akemi stated surprised.

 

“Basilisks and wyverns are very closely related Akemi. They are more reptilian than dragons.” She said sitting near her.

 

“So what is this basilisk's story?” she demanded.

 

“He was a king in Europe and apparently pissed off his fellow reptile brethren and they wanted revenge on him. He is a wild card and I think Asuna needs to be very careful.” Juria stated.

 

“Ryukotsusei changed but reptilian youkai are aggressive and VERY possessive. Is this one interested in her?” Akemi asked astonished.

 

“Hai. He has the power to obliterate her enemies and her loved ones.” Juria said in a worried tone.

 

“Oh dear.” She sighed.

 

Juria looked at the baby who should have been born in the past and was probably going to wreck Ang Chi's mating. She could not see the Manchu lord not acknowledging his baby girl and especially after his own sire had been such a bastard. She sighed and knew things within this family were going to explode. Feelings were going to be hurt and lovers betrayed. She had already foreseen Iyo and the special babe she carried. She really wished her inu family could stay away from a bunch of hollows and stay within their own plane. She knew Ang Chi was near and she turned to see him.

 

“You will not deny Hoshi?” she asked

 

“Why would I?” he asked softly.

 

“Because she will find out and you will loose her.” Juria stated crossing her arms.

 

“I cannot turn my back on Hoshi or Akemi.” He said sighing.

 

“You will loose Keiko.” She said again.

 

“I am sorry but I cannot loose Akemi.” He said sadly.

 

“You intend to share her with the dragon lord?” Juria asked surprised.

 

“Hai I do. He loves her passionately and he knows I do as well. He intends to take a similar stance as my mother. He intends for all of us to dwell together.” He shrugged.

 

“Well I will be damned.” Juria said in shock.

 

“Why do you say that?” Ang Chi asked.

 

“Because a dragon sharing anything?” she said raising a golden brow.

 

“He feels that she gave up too much for him and he wants us in her life.” He shrugged.

 

“You intend to save the neko.” She said dropping her jaw.

 

“Hai. Mother does this. Why should we be different? It worked for us growing up.” He stated.

 

“Hai it did.” She nodded.

 

“Now we have to save Daichi because Akemi has been sick with grief over his becoming an Arrancar.” Ang Chi said.

 

“How did you change your mind?” she demanded.

 

“Lord Ryukotsusei changed it. He spoke reasonably and honestly. I am shocked that he ever hated inu.” He said amazed.

 

Juria nodded and Ang Chi went back to his lover. Hoshi was tiny but she would survive. Things were crazy and it did not look like it would calm down soon.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was in her Tokyo penthouse watching civilization below her. Changming looked up from her table and watched her.

 

“My lady?” he asked softly.

 

He was on his laptop researching wyverns and reading ancient tomes. She looked back and cracked a small smile.

 

“We have been intimate Chang, I think it would be okay to call me Asuna.” She smiled.

 

He stood up and came over to her. He still had a hard time believing what had occurred between them. He said nothing as he stood beside her. She reached over and pulled him to her.

 

“You can touch me of your own will. You do not need my permission.” She said looking up at him.

 

“I cannot think when I am this close to you.” He admitted.

 

“So I have to beg you?” she asked in a whisper.

 

“No. Please do not beg me.” He stated in a deep voice.

 

He felt heaviness on his heart and he pressed his forehead to hers. He lifted a hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

 

“I admired you from Tekeshi's memories but when I met you the first time after those several years of letters, I was a simpering fool. I felt as though I should be punished for wanting you so badly.” Chang stated closing his eyes.

 

“Why? Chang exactly where are you from?” she asked.

 

“I am from Japan. The white inu lived all over Asia in cold climates.” He said.

 

She reached up and held his face. His eyes held hers and she cocked her head to the side. Her thumbs were softly tracing circles on his cheeks and she threaded her fingers into his hair. Changming was feeling overwhelmed in the moment. Asuna sighed softly and pressed her lips to his. It was a brief touching of lips and he turned his head.

 

“My lady.” He said heavily.

 

He had on a fitted black tee shirt and she pulled the hem out of his trousers. He watched her and she pulled it up. He allowed her to pull it off of him and she ran her hands over his sculpted chest. Her fingers went to his belt and unbuckled his expensive trousers.

 

“Mistress.” He said under his breath.

 

“Say my name Chang. You asked me at one time to call you Chang.” She said pursing her lips.

 

“Asuna.” He murmured.

 

Her claws lightly ran over his abdomen and he sucked in his breath. She leaned forward and pressed her lips to one pectoral. She nipped the skin lightly and began grazing the taut flesh with her mouth. His eyes shut as he felt the heat and he felt her tongue flicking against his flat nipple. His hand reached up and cupped the back of her head as she tugged and sucked on the sensitive nub. Chang experienced her teeth tugging and teasing it; his mind was wandering to so many pleasurable scenarios at the moment. He released a shuddered groan as she continued to exact a more fevered response.

 

“Asuna.” He said in an impassioned tone.

 

Her response was in the form of a growl. Her lips slowly dragged across his chest and began tonguing the other nub. His other hand reached up and held her back of her as she sucked harshly on the turgid piece of flesh. She could tell he was enjoying it immensely and she was exploiting it. She suddenly let it go and slowly kissed across his skin. She moved to stand behind him and she was kissing his back. She pushed down his grey trousers and Chang's face would contort softly as she stroked and kissed his flesh. He heard her raspy tones and her growls as she just touched him. She touched his backside and slid down his back. Asuna still placed kisses and a nip to his backside and his breathing was harder. His eyes were still closed as she touched him.

 

“I beg you now.” He said in a desperate voice.

 

She slowly slid back up his body and wrapped her hand around his stiff flesh. Asuna moved her hand up and down his arousal and he tipped his head back and groaned. She had to get on her tiptoes but she met his lips at the awkward angle. Their lips met in a slow but ungodly passionate way. She continued to stroke her hand along his steely soft member. She moved around to face him and she did not stop stroking him. Soft kisses and Asuna reached up one hand and threaded her fingers into his hair. Nothing was hurried and it was passionate. Their lips mated and their tongues tasted each other. Chang was fraying badly as she brought him near the edge. He reached up and undid her silk blouse. He exposed her lace covered breasts and their kisses were becoming heavier. Their breathing it seemed was labored as he released her breasts. He realized they were walking backwards; she brought them to her bed and she sat on the side of the mattress. She leaned forward and began to feverishly lick and kiss along his length. He growled softly but his chest was rising and falling rapidly. He moved forward and pushed her back as he met her lips again. He pulled the waist of her skirt down along with her panties. He leaned down and scorched a path down her throat. Nothing was stated as they continued the burning and passionate haze of lips and hands. He suckled one breast and then the other as his mind became primitive but not out of control. Her face contorted like his as the touches and brush of lips left her spiraling. Chang's hand slowly moved down her body and he slipped between her nether lips and she groaned. His chest pressed into her back and he slowly moved his pelvis against her backside to try and relieve the aching that began. His fingers slid through her slick arousal as their bodies withered in an erotic fog.

 

Her body was in a blaze as he continued to kiss along her throat and massage her bundle. He was a natural lover and he just flowed with the natural passions. She groaned heavily as his sinuous body moved against her. She began rasping and he already moaned against her skin.

 

“Chang join me. Kamis please.” She said trembling.

 

She pushed herself back against him and she leaned her head back. His eyes were reddened as she looked at him. He could control his beast well but refraining was causing him to loose his mind. He wanted her so badly but he wanted to do what was right and what was honorable. He lost his nerve and he was over her. Chang pushed into her and she released a strangled cry. He was awash in so many things as he thrust into her. He guided her up a little by pulling her forward by the back of the neck. He kissed her in a desperate way that left them both wanting and more crazed. She ran a hand through her own sweat soaked hair and her features contorted each time he pulled back and pushed back in. Asuna was reeling from the beauty and tortured expressions on his face. Her cries were short and breathless as he continued to bring their bodies together. It did not show but his inner nature was completely controlling him and he pulled back and gently rolled her. He slipped back inside of her and he growled softly. His chest was pressed into her back and his cheek rested against hers. He closed his eyes and he thrust hard and she cried out. He kept his pace even but hard. She had to hold onto her headboard for leverage and her cries became louder. Her other hand stretched out as he moved a little faster. Chang was lost in her sounds and her scent as the blinding rush of yoki began to overtake him. He wrapped his arms around her upper body and moved harder. She was shaking underneath him and she whimpered and whined in their instinctual tongue. Each time he thrust her cries became near screams.

 

“Asuna!” he yelped as their yoki became almost physical.

 

“Chang please. Release me please!” she begged.

 

She shouted as her body became wracked in a blinding wave of joy and euphoria. Her cry was raspy and guttural as Changming began gripping her tightly as he too succumbed to the bliss and euphoria. He was growling loudly as his release left him. He was covered in perspiration as was she. Neither of them could speak as their bodies continued to spasm. He was overcome in his instincts and he wrapped his jaws around her juncture. He growled and snarled and she mewled under him. Her actions were so proper and perfect for an inu bitch.

 

“Stop me.” He cried out in a snarl.

 

“No. Please do not stop Chang. Please.” She whined softly.

 

He prayed to the Kamis and he snapped his jaws around the juncture. He had to squeeze his eyes shut in the explosion that followed. She was groaning and growling underneath him and he pulled back. He fell to his back and she was on him. Her eyes were impossibly red and she stared at him.

 

“Hai.” He mumbled as her fangs found his throat.

 

She snapped her jaws around his throat and his blood exploded on her tongue. He shook harshly underneath her and he experienced another jolt through him.

 

“Asuna!” he groaned as he arched underneath her.

 

She released his throat and she lowered her lips to his. He responded and he growled loudly as they battled tongues. She cleaved to him and he was lost. Asuna finally pulled back and fell to her back. He gathered her to him and held onto her.

 

“I wish you had not wasted time.” She said with her golden-brown eyes shut tightly.

 

“We were too busy.” He stated in deep voice.

 

“No. We were fools.” She said and he felt a tear fall onto his chest.

 

“I love you Asuna but my duty was to your states and you.” He said closing his eyes.

 

She was angry and bitter with herself and him at the moment. Anger ripped through her as well as passion.

 

“Tell me your thoughts, you are shielding.” He said softly.

 

“Where were you before I met you the first time?” she asked.

 

“I went to Qinghai when I was very young. My chichi took me when I was ten or so.” He said sleepily.

 

“So you grew up there.” Asuna stated in a whisper.

 

“Hai. I grew up there. Qinghai was home.” He muttered as his voice became heavier.

 

She intended to go back and she intended to find him in the past. She was correcting herself and her massive stupidity. He was so good but so incredibly deep.

 

“I should have loved you. I should have been with you.” She said gripping him.

 

“I was no one.” He muttered.

 

“How do you know?” she asked in a whisper.

 

“I do not know. I was a toddler when Tekeshi found me. He found me wandering a forest.” He whispered.

 

“How old?” she asked in a concerned tone.

 

“He thinks I was about one or two.” He yawned.

 

“Kamis in hell.” She muttered in shock.

 

“It is nothing now. I do not remember and he was all I knew.” He said as his breathing slowed.

 

“Changming.” She said with a shaky voice.

 

He fell into sleep and she had to roll over to sob silently. He had been under her nose for so many years and she had been so reliant on him. She finally laid her head against his chest and allowed sleep to begin to take her. She had so much on her plate and she had to save Grimmjow and now figure out Changming's past. She knew him and she knew he would not overstep any bounds. She finally fell asleep amidst deep feelings of regret and as if she had wasted too much time.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ggio was watching Grimmjow discreetly and he was seeing things in his mind. He was wracked with horrifying images and flashes of the youkai onna on a futon. He had flashed seeing her as a very young onna and flushed from sex. He had been consumed with lust and love in that moment and it has passed. He had been unable to get away to see her again. He was frustrated and so very full of anger. She had messed up his Arrancar existence by jogging his previous life in his mind. He snarled in frustration again and Grimmjow was beside him.

 

“You been having memories?” He asked under his breath.

 

“Hai.” He muttered.

 

“Wanna go have some fun?” The Sixth Espada asked.

 

“I don't think he will allow it.” He said growling.

 

“Fuck him.” He laughed.

 

“Unlike you Grimmjow, some of us actually respect others.” Ggio stated coldly.

 

“Yeah right.” Grimmjow snorted.

 

Ggio stared at the blue haired Arrancar in annoyance and he stood. They walked together out into the desert. Grimmjow opened a garganta into the other plane. They went through and came out in a jungle.

 

“Where are we?” Ggio asked in irritation.

 

“We supposedly lived as youkai here. I wanna see what it looked like.” Grimmjow said looking around.

 

Ggio sighed and he followed the Espada. The area looked very familiar and he started having flashes. He could see the other Arrancar as a youkai. He was being defended by an adolescent Grimmjow from a monkey youkai. He shook his head and he stumbled. Grimmjow held onto his elbow and looked at him.

 

“You were born on freakishly cold night.” He said suddenly.

 

“Okay.” Ggio said scratching his chin.

 

“Fuck.” He said sighing.

 

Grimmjow was seeing flashes too but they were brief and scattered. He was seeing something that had him growling low in his throat.

 

“Whatcha seeing?” Ggio demanded.

 

“I think the bitch gives me another kid.” He said shocked.

 

“What?” he asked surprised.

 

“Yeah. I have to see her.” He said backing up.

 

“I don't understand what this has to do with us now.” Ggio stated.

 

“I love my bitch. What about you?” Grimmjow asked grinning.

 

“I barely know her but Kamis I remember all kinds of stuff.” He stated almost coldly.

 

“Sounds like you need to try some of that shit out.” He snickered.

 

“How can you be so casual about this?” Ggio demanded.

 

“I've had more time with it. Ya know if you were my brother then you should be my Fraccion kid.” He said considering.

 

“Barragon is my Espada.” He said.

 

“Whatever.” He said shrugging.

 

Grimmjow made a garganta and went through it. Ggio looked around the jungle and he had a feeling he was remembering more then Grimmjow. He could feel her and she was upset. He made his own garganta and went through it.

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

Asuna was in the West and she was going through her jujitsu movements. She had come to rely more on her martial arts training and she felt Grimmjow. She turned and smiled softly at him.

 

“Hello.” She smiled.

 

“Hello? No where ya been or Kamis, I wanna fuck?” he asked amused.

 

“Kamis you are a foul mouthed cretin at times.” She laughed.

 

“Yeah but you love me.” He said laughing manically.

 

She closed the distance and he wrapped his arms around her tightly. Their lips met and he almost purred into the intimacy. She pulled back and stared at him funny.

 

“Why are you in such a good mood? Did you kill something huge?” she asked.

 

He began laughing harder and his look was one of lust and amusement. He turned her around and pressed his hands to her belly and he nipped at her neck.

 

“You're gonna give me a girl. I actually see her face.” He stated in a heavy voice in her ear.

 

“What? How?” she asked astonished.

 

“I remember her face. I had neko hair didn't I?” he asked in a soft voice.

 

“Hai. What the hell? Grimmjow when did you?” she asked astonished.

 

“Just now. I'm in a good mood cause I get to knock you up again. The kid remembers more then I do.” He said in her ear.

 

He was undressing her and he knew she carried the hanyou's brat and he suddenly did not care. He sucked on her neck and she nearly swooned.

 

“I want you to take us to the hanyou.” He said in a heavy drawl.

 

“Why?” she moaned softly.

 

“Cause I want you to.” He snapped softly.

 

She ported them to Korea and Grimmjow was staring at Naraku. The hanyou was surprised to see them but the look on the Arrancar's face made him curious.

 

“Hey you hanyou.” He growled against her neck.

 

“Hey what Arrancar?” Naraku asked raising an ebony brow.

 

“Lemme ask you a question.” Grimmjow asked gripping her tightly.

 

“What is that?” Naraku asked standing.

 

“How kinky are you?” The Sixth Espada asked smirking.

 

“Pardon?” Asuna asked dumbfounded.

 

“I am pretty wild.” Naraku smirked.

 

“Good cause I'm in a mood for a wild ride.” Grimmjow said flashing his eyes at Naraku.

 

“Wait one second!” Asuna snapped.

 

“Wild ride hmm? Well Arrancar I can do that.” The hanyou said smiling evilly.

 

Grimmjow held onto Asuna with a powerful grip and it suddenly occurred to her what he was doing. Naraku moved to her and lifted her chin.

 

“Poor little inu.” Naraku murmured lustfully.

 

“What? Wait!” she tried to say.

 

Her lips were covered with her longtime mate's mouth and she suddenly moaned as Grimmjow began rolling her nipples. She groaned out more when she fully realized that it was going to happen.

 

“I ain't gonna fight ya again.” Grimmjow growled low in his throat so he got Naraku's attention.

 

“No you are not.” He smirked as he slipped fingers into Asuna.

 

She gasped hard as these two had a pleasant conversation whilst pleasuring her.

 

“So when we gonna kill more wraiths?” the Arrancar asked as he cupped her breasts.

 

“Very soon. She has much to tell me about you though.” Naraku said in a husky way.

 

“Yeah she can fill ya in.” he laughed hard.

 

She squeezed her eyes shut and began trembling. Both males were pleased beyond reason at her responses and she learned more about her Arrancar love then she thought possible. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez was just as devious as Naraku when he wanted to be and he was a match in wills for the hanyou too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ggio watched Akemi from a nearby building and he actually had a heavy feeling in his chest. He heard a clearing of a throat and he turned. A tall male with white hair and bluish scales around his hairline was staring at him. He saw extremely pale hazel eyes stare at him and he bristled.

 

“What do you want?” he demanded.

 

“Daichi?” Ryukotsusei asked shocked.

 

“Ggio Vega!” he snapped.

 

“You passed away.” The dragon said in understanding.

 

“Leave me alone lizard breath.” The young Arrancar snapped.

 

Ryukotsusei blinked his eyes at the colorful insult and stared at the now black haired neko youkai. He began to pace and Ggio was annoyed.

 

“You were Daichi. You were the son of the Southern Lord.” He said.

 

“I don't care dragon! I'm not that being anymore! I'm Arrancar.” Ggio stated stepping back.

 

“You remember her?” Ryukotsusei demanded.

 

“Yeah I remember. I remember you took her from me.” He growled.

 

“It was not supposed to be that way.” He said regretfully.

 

“Yeah well it turned out that way didn't it? What the hell do you want?” Ggio snapped.

 

“I wish for it to be right.” He said lifting his chin.

 

“Then you should have kept your scaled ass away from her! She was mated to me!” he said and then he was shocked at himself.

 

“You have unlocked your past life.” Ryukotsusei stated.

 

“Maybe I have but that doesn't change a fucking thing! You had no business near her and I was duped like normal. Yeah the poor neko boy remembers.” He growled loudly.

 

“If you should like then I am here to face you now.” Ryukotsusei snapped.

 

“You wanna face me? I'll kick your ass dragon!” Ggio hissed.

 

“Will that make you feel better? Would fighting me make all this better?” He asked.

 

Ggio was furious and he suddenly let loose a cero. Ryukotsusei had to dive to avoid the blast. Ggio pulled his zanpakuto and slashed at the dragon lord quickly. The older male was a little shocked at the quickness of the feline Arrancar but he dove again.

 

“You refuse to fight? You Kamis damn coward!” Ggio hissed.

 

“I do not want to fight boy!” Ryukotsusei snapped.

 

“You bastard. You should try and take me out you know. It's what I'd do!” he yelled.

 

“Well I am not you am I boy?” The dragon snarled.

 

“That's what I was then too just a boy! I was a boy and she fucking backstabbed me for a scaly ass bastard!” He said growling low.

 

Ryukotsusei was getting a little sick of the boy's mouth but he also understood his anger.

 

“She said she talked to you!” he growled.

 

“Yeah maybe but ya think it makes it easier? She was mine dragon! Mine and I accepted her the way she was!” He said slashing at Ryukotsusei.

 

”I am the one that begged her to stay. I got her pregnant damnit. I loved her more then you could understand!” He said as his eyes bled red.

 

Ggio was seething with anger that was not really his own. He jumped on the dragon and slashed him with his blade.

 

“You like taking what belongs to others?” Ggio snarled.

 

“I think you are a brat neko!” Ryukotsusei snarled in return.

 

“So what now dragon? It really doesn't fucking matter anymore. You won and you are a thief!” the young Arrancar snapped.

 

“I am trying to rectify something bastard!” he growled.

 

“I died or did you not get that message?” he snapped.

 

“I was there boy. You threw yourself in front of Akemi but she had already sacrificed herself for us both.” Ryukotsusei said in old pain.

 

Ggio stumbled back and he had flashes of the dragon lord and Akemi. He could not breathe right and he kept stepping back.

 

“Stop!” Ryukotsusei growled.

 

“What killed me?” he asked shaking.

 

“I still do not know. The carnage took place in one night and when it was over; it was over.” The dragon said.

 

“Akemi was on the ground ripped open.” Ggio stated staring out.

 

“Hai. I was injured and you were near her. You were dead by then.” He said in a low whisper.

 

“She was pregnant.” Ggio stated in a tortured voice.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“It wasn't dragon.” He said staring at Ryukotsusei in accusation.

 

“No. It was a neko kit.” He nodded.

 

“I want to hate you!” he snarled.

 

“Go ahead.” Ryukotsusei sighed.

 

“She was mine! Kamis they will not stop!” He said holding his head.

 

“What do you mean?” The dragon asked.

 

“These damn memories. I am Ggio Vega!” He yelled.

 

Ryukotsusei did not think and he took the Arrancar's arm and ported them. Akemi jumped up when she saw who her mate had. Her jaw dropped and he nodded to her.

 

“I will be close. He needs to talk.” Ryukotsusei stated with a bow.

 

The dragon walked away and Akemi saw Ggio looking defiant. She neared him and he tried to jerk away from her.

 

“Please Ggio please!” she said holding his arm.

 

“Why wasn't I enough? Why?” he demanded in an anguished snarl.

 

“You remember?” she asked in a pained voice.

 

“Hai.” He said glaring at her.

 

“I am sorry! Please do not pull away.” She said helplessly.

 

He wanted to fight but the look on her face was tearing him up. He neared her and slammed her against the wall. She was shocked and his eyes were tortured. He began kissing her in a desperate haze. Their lips began kissing everywhere he ripped open her robe. He was not thinking and he was just feeling. He slipped inside of her and he was wracked with memories. He pressed himself against her tightly and began moving hard. She grunted and sighed as he moved harder.

 

“Save me.” He cried as they moaned together.

 

Akemi was overload with love and guilt. She knew Ryukotsusei had some notions in mind. Ggio growled and snarled in her ear. Her claws went down his back through the silk of his Arrancar uniform. She groaned out as a massive orgasm ripped through her. He yelled out as her purity took him. He trembled as he let himself go in the incredible bliss. Akemi felt tears fall down her face and she looked up to see Ryukotsusei. He was not angry in the least and she recognized love and lust on his face. He slipped away to give her privacy and it hit her what he was doing. She was amazed and loved him all the more. Ggio was trembling against her and he lifted a hand to her face. He kissed her softly and tried to pull away.

 

“Stay with me.” She demanded.

 

“I can't.” he said hoarsely.

 

“Stay!” she pleaded.

 

“Why?” he asked closing his eyes.

 

“I love you! I never stopped but I apparently was needy and dumb!” she cried.

 

“I never stopped loving you. I remember a lot but I know I loved you so fucking much.” He said burying his nose into her juncture.

 

“I am sorry. Ggio, I am so sorry.” She said in a hoarse cry.

 

“I was Daichi.” He mumbled.

 

He lifted his head and there was recognition there. His golden eyes were molten at the moment.

 

“I know you are around dragon. Like what you saw?” He asked loudly.

 

“No need to be rude.” Ryukotsusei snapped from the hall.

 

“Why don't we try and be friends okay lizard? We love the same onna and I'm not a wishy washy fool anymore.” Ggio said in a low hiss.

 

“Fine. Can you make yourself decent?” he demanded.

 

“No. You want this dragon then you make it happen. You like what you saw?” Ggio asked in a heavy voice.

 

“It was passionate but then I would expect nothing less from a neko.” Ryukotsusei responded.

 

“Really? Well indulge the young neko boy. Let's see how the big bad dragon does his thing.” He said with an edge to his voice.

 

“Ggio!” Akemi said in shock.

 

“Your cousin is notorious Kemi. Show a little spine. Hueco Mundo can make a young neko boy very bad indeed.” He said in a lusty tone.

 

“What the hell are you suggesting?” Ryukotsusei demanded.

 

“You stole her dragon. You stole her knowing that my kind was monogamous. I want a pay up. You owe me this for taking what did not belong to you. This time instead of a yamaneko prince you deal with an Arrancar man.” Ggio stated looking back.

 

“I was suggesting cohabitating the same place neko!” Ryukotsusei said in anger.

 

“I am suggesting more dragon. We love her so make love to her.” Ggio challenged.

 

The old dragon lord was floored and this was not exactly the young neko he had met more then two centuries ago. Ggio pulled back and straightened his clothes and Ryukotsusei stared at Akemi.

 

“You who was one of the most notorious warriors on these islands and you cannot do as I want? I want my life back and by the Kamis you owe me!” Ggio snarled.

 

“Hai.” Akemi stated.

 

Ryukotsusei whipped his head around and stared at his tiny mate. His face was shocked and Ggio stepped away.

 

“What are your motives for this?” The dragon asked.

 

“Seeing if we can work together.” Ggio said almost coldly.

 

Akemi decided to take initiative and grabbed Ryukotsusei. She could have him moaning and groaning in less then a minute. She sank her fangs into his neck and he gasped at the more powerful eroticism. Akemi's reddened eyes watched Ggio and he was entranced. She suddenly had inspiration and had her dragon sink to his knees. She would face any consequences later but she would have the loves of her life and she would follow her cousin's example.

Amedeo was in the ancient catacombs that ran under Monte Vulture in the Basilicata region of Italy. His eyes closed and he remembered so much. He sighed heavily as he moved along. He hoped and prayed that his army head was still alive. He prayed that his closest friend survived as well. He was sure that the wyverns had decimated the Ryuku Islands and they had done so because they had discovered intelligence of him or another basilisk. He grit his teeth in hatred and he had a pretty good idea that these Shouten used the old hatreds of the reptiles to cause all manner of grief. He came upon a massive and solid black basilisk and he smiled.

 

“Adrastus.” He said softly.

 

He moved over and his best friend was cold as if in death. He spoke in serpent's tongue and Adrastus's eyes opened. He was groggy and he realized that he needed heat.

 

“Adrastus! It is Amedeo.” He said loudly.

 

“My rex.” The black said.

 

“Si. Awaken my friend.” He commanded.

 

“Cold majesty.” He lisped.

 

“I will care for you. You must wake up.” Amedeo stated.

 

“Si majesty.” The groggy serpent said.

 

He took a deep breath and he touched his friend. He shifted them to Japan and the hot spring that his femmina had brought him to. He was grateful it was away from mortals and his best friend changed form. He fell into the extremely hot water and he sighed gratefully.

 

“Majesty what year is it?” he asked.

 

“I really do not know. I was awakened by a femmina who can traverse time.” He shrugged.

 

“I do not understand.” Adrastus said confused.

 

“Do not think too hard. You are waking up.” Amedeo said.

 

“Who are you?” they both heard.

 

Amedeo turned and stared at a femmina who looked almost exactly like Asuna. Her eyes were grey and he was shocked.

 

“Who?” he asked surprised.

 

“I believe I asked you that.” She said looking at both males.

 

“I am Amedeo and this is Adrastus. I was brought here by a femmina who looks almost exactly like you.” He said raising a brow.

 

“You speak of my mother. I am Lady Yuzuna and you are on my jii-chan's lands.” She said meeting their eyes.

 

“You speak Latin femmina well but I do not understand all your words.” He said confused.

 

“My grandsire is Lord of the Inu and Lord of the West. You stand upon inu lands.” She said softly.

 

“Cane!” Amedeo said quickly.

 

“Hai. Why are you here?” she asked looking them over.

 

“Your mother brought me here when I woke up and it was the hottest place I knew of.” Amedeo shrugged.

 

Yuzuna pulled out her cell phone and called her mother. She spoke rapid Japanese and Adrastus was staring at the gorgeous mammal female. Another one appeared next to the younger one and Amedeo looked at her. He pushed down his lust as she only had on a night gown.

 

“What are you wearing femmina?” He asked in a husky voice.

 

“A night gown. It is night or have you not noticed. You found one.” She said looking at his friend.

 

“Si. This is Adrastus Gaius.” Amedeo introduced.

 

“Hello.” Asuna said inclining her head.

 

“This is one of your young femmina?” The basilisk ruler asked.

 

“Hai. This is Ukitake Yuzuna and my heir.” She said in introduction.

 

“Pleased to meet you femmina.” He said bowing.

 

“Hai. Haha is everything alright?” she asked in Japanese.

 

“Hai. I have found major clues into the Shouten and what destroyed the Ryuku Islands.” Asuna stated.

 

“What? Good Kamis. Do you two need a place to stay?” She asked softly in Latin.

 

“I assumed I would stay near your mother.” Amedeo said raising a brow.

 

“Yuzuna, I have not said anything of their presence yet.” Asuna stated.

 

“Then I shall take them to Yuudai's estate in Kyoto. Will that be acceptable Haha?” she asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Adrastus listened but he was floored. He had awoken to see powerful mammalian daemons and that was shocking in of itself. He watched the grey eyed female and he knew instantly that his king was entranced with the older female. He had to admit that she was indeed lovely and the younger female was just as beautiful. His chill was starting to ease and Amedeo looked back at him.

 

“How are feeling?” his king asked.

 

“Bet-better my rex.” He said chattering a little.

 

Yuzuna looked concerned and she looked at her mother.

 

“I can take them to the Western bathes outside of Kyoto Haha. They get much hotter then this natural onsen.” She stated.

 

“Hai. Amedeo may I port you?” Asuna asked softly.

 

“Si.” He said looking at her closely.

 

Her cheeks flushed softly and he noticed her breasts swell beneath the silk. He pushed his lust down again and Yuzuna put a hand on the black haired male basilisk.

 

“I wish to see you alone.” Amedeo said near her ear.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Yuzuna ported with Adrastus and her mother ported with the other reptile youkai. They appeared in a large indoor bath. Yuzuna left the male in the water and she turned on the heaters in the pools. She heard him groan softly and she smiled.

 

“How do you feel?” she asked as she came back in.

 

“Better. Thank you femmina.” He said looking at her.

 

His eyes were red and he was beautiful Yuzuna could see. She could also feel his yoki and it was dangerous. His eyes were red and he had what appeared to be a scroll work tattoo around his left eye. Her eyes were diverted and he watched her closely.

 

“If you like you may undress and I will lay out a yukata for you. A yukata is like a robe.” She stated softly.

 

“Si and thank you again.” He said reaching up and touching her hand.

 

She nodded and bowed her head. She stood up and went to another room. She came back and brought a heavy male yukata and she went to a bench on the other side of the humid room.

 

Amedeo was prowling around a large airy room. She was standing there in her short fawn colored night gown. His eyes perused her form and he suddenly neared her.

 

“I need you.” He said suddenly.

 

“You have not said anything of your friend.” She whispered.

 

“Not now. Later I will speak of him.” He growled heavily.

 

He reached up a hand and cupped a breast through her silk. She watched him and he was going insane with lust. Valentina was so very good at meeting his needs and she growled at his thoughts.

 

“I am not your wife.” She said harshly.

 

“I can remedy that.” He said grabbing her jaw lightly.

 

“Amedeo your friend is in the other room and you are trying to rut?” she asked.

 

“He knows me and he is not blind.” He said in a lispy tone.

 

“You are allowing your base nature out.” Asuna stated.

 

“I want you.” He growled.

 

“Amedeo speak!” she snapped.

 

He snarled and he picked her up. He laid her on the bed in the center of the large room and pressed his body against hers.

 

“I will do what we both want.” He hissed.

 

She gasped as he worked himself into her and she grabbed at the bed sheets. She fought off the scream threatening to escape her throat.

 

“Adrastus is my closest friend. Gabrielus was my general.” He said through the heat and passion.

 

“Did you find your general?” She gasped.

 

“Not yet. Femmina so good! You feel so good.” He snarled in her ear.

 

“Hai!” she rasped.

 

“I will venture tomorrow after I make you moan for me more.” He stated as he moved harder.

 

“Amedeo…Oh Kamis!” she said biting into his wrist to silence her scream of release.

 

He rasped out in his natural tongue and he was crushed under the huge release. He shut his eyes as he became so incredibly drained.

 

“I will find Gabrielus and confer about the battle that led me into sleep. Asuna.” He mumbled into her neck.

 

“Hai?” She asked shaking softly.

 

“Thank you for waking me.” He said falling asleep.

 

She sighed and groused about his iron grip. She tried to wake him and he was not rousing. She wanted to smack him in his arrogance but had to admit how incredible he was to be with. She allowed sleep to take her as well and figured tomorrow would reveal more answers.
