A Deo et Rege

 

He was sleeping heavily and she had procured a room at a lavish inn within Rome itself. She had ported them in and he slept on in the bed. The ningen were a lot like the Italian reptile. She heard his heart beat and she held a huge hatred of the wyvern. Whatever sins Amedeo had committed; the wyvern king had far surpassed him. His cruelty was horrid and she knew without a doubt in her mind that Drostan would join forces with Raganos. She needed to plan a major offensive but she needed for it to happen after the babes were safely born. He flopped over in his sleep and she knew he was plenty warm for the moment. He slept on for awhile longer and he finally woke up. He rolled to his side and she was asleep. Her silver hair surrounded her and he was entranced. He was struck by her softness as she slept. Her face was a little rounded but almost heart shaped. Her jaw was sculpted and her cheek bones were defined by the magenta stripes. She had very full lips; she had very good lips for kissing he thought. He smiled softly as he watched her and one hand palmed her cheek and threaded in her hair. He kissed her softly at first but then deepened when she responded. He slowly pulled back and lay on his side. They stared at the other and said nothing for awhile.

 

“Where are we femmina?” He asked.

 

“I stayed in Rome. I do not remember exactly where I was in this era. I cannot be sure so I avoid a paradox.” She said smiling.

 

“You are smart. I meant what I said. Amor est vitae essentia.” He murmured.

 

“Si.” She murmured in return.

 

He smiled widely and he began kissing her lips over and over. He finally let her up and he lay on his back.

 

“Why do you know Latin and Italian anyway?” He asked.

 

“Marcus Ulpius Trajunus.” She yawned.

 

“That is a very Latin name.” He laughed.

 

“Hai. Trajan was a ningen emperor of the Roman Empire but I met him while he was still a general of the Rhine region.” Asuna remarked.

 

“Really?” He asked interested.

 

She nodded and her mind drifted to her short liaison with Trajan.

 

“Femmina your mind is drifting.” He said running a hand up her leg.

 

“I went to Trajan to learn how to defeat Vlad but it was Eyal possessed by a wraith. Trajan and I were close.” She said looking over at him.

 

“What is close femmina?” He asked curiously.

 

“We had a short liaison of a couple of weeks.” She laughed.

 

“So I am not your first Italian lover?” He asked smirking as he leaned over her.

 

“Sadly no but you are best.” She teased.

 

“Good.” He smirked.

 

“Akemi sings Ryukotsusei's praises but you are my first reptilian lover.” She said smiling at him.

 

“Your cousin was quite ill femmina.” He said sitting up.

 

“What do you mean?” She asked concerned.

 

“She was so ill that they aborted the wyvern.” He stated gently.

 

“Amedeo!” She growled.

 

“Femmina, wyvern are different and it was killing her.” He said defensively.

 

“You keep saying that but what does that mean?” She asked.

 

“Wyvern are more like reptiles in the wild. They are not as evolved as even the basilisk. They have humanoid form but they are just different.” He shrugged.

 

“When we join your body takes in my body heat whilst I feed on your energies.” She said in understanding.

 

“I suppose. I never questioned it. I did not need an explanation but you are the first uppyr of succubus heritage that I have known.” He said honestly.

 

“Different from a normal uppyr?” She asked shocked.

 

“Si! Very different. Amor with you is mind blowing.” Amedeo said standing and stretching.

 

He was nude and she knew the window was open. If a mortal caught sight of him then they would probably soil themselves. He was so pretty and sexy but he was definitely not mortal looking.

 

“You blush why?” He asked gently.

 

“You are just so easy in your own skin.” She laughed.

 

“Si. When it was overly hot and si we can get too hot; it was nothing to be nude.” He shrugged.

 

“Kamis I am salivating.” She said turning red.

 

“Why does the knowledge of what you are bother you so Asuna? Why does this shame you?” He asked.

 

“Because I am half inu! I should have some dominant inu streaks but I have very few or they have been suppressed by this!” She said growling.

 

“You are an amalgamation to perfection. You are strong and beautiful. I think you think too much femmina.” The basilisk said sitting next to her.

 

“Would you have even noticed me if I did not carry succubi blood?” She asked bluntly.

 

“Femmina, I would have noticed you regardless of any blood you carry.” He said nuzzling her neck.

 

“What does my blood taste like to you?” She asked.

 

“I felt drunk when I took you in.” He said running his tongue along her neck.

 

“Quickly. I need to see Akemi.” She groaned.

 

“I can abstain. I am no animal.” He said chuckling.

 

She nodded and she reached for her clothes. She closed her eyes and made a mental checklist; save Grimmjow, save unborn pup, save Daichi, the whole Ryuku Islands, and try to save someone of Amedeo's family. She felt weariness in her heart and she mentally added kill Shouten to the top. She had a long list and she was tired.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi could not stop crying and she was being held by Ryukotsusei. He had sent for Daichi and she was not calming down. She kept chanting; hate him, over and over again. She held her stomach and kept screaming.

 

“Rena, knock her out.” The dragon lord said softly.

 

“NO! Let me kill him! I will kill him! I will purify his evil ass into hell and back! I will kill him!” She snarled.

 

Ryukostsusei just held her tightly as she mumbled. He made her open her mouth and the dragon healer poured the sleeping draught down her throat. Tears leaked out of her eyes and Daichi was brought in. He fell to his knees beside her and he looked at her.

 

“What happened?” He asked.

 

“Bastard! I could not carry the wyvern. It was killing me and he stabbed me to kill our kit. I am sorry. I am so sorry.” She said getting hysterical.

 

Daichi nodded calmly but he was horrified. He watched her fall asleep and he stood up.

 

“Prince Daichi where are you going?” Ryukotsusei stated.

 

“What am I in the future?” He demanded.

 

“I do not know.” The dragon lord lied.

 

“Am I strong? Do I have more yoki? TELL ME!” He snarled.

 

“You are different. You are stronger then a normal yamaneko.” He confirmed.

 

“Then bring my ass here! Help me defend her!” He cried in fury.

 

“Young prince please…” He started to say.

 

“NO! I am not a kit anymore! I am a grown man now. Hai I am young but I need more power. I cannot face this thing can I?” Daichi asked with a haunted tone.

 

“Not now no.” Ryukotsusei answered honestly.

 

“Then I will figure a way of it.” He said as his eyes burned.

 

“Daichi you are speaking nonsense.” The dragon said gently.

 

“You love my mate? You love her and you tell me this? You tell me this because I am young! I am not weak and I shall not be anymore!” He said storming away.

 

Ryukotsusei sighed and he saw the basilisk king and Lady Asuna. Amedeo came towards him and Asuna followed Daichi. Asuna had to run to catch up with Daichi.

 

“Wait! Wait now!” She cried.

 

“What am I Asuna? What is Jagaharu?” He asked in a pained voice.

 

“It does not matter Daichi.” She muttered.

 

“What if I want to be this thing? Am I strong?” The young neko asked.

 

“You are very strong. You are under one century right now and your yoki is not fully released.” She said softly.

 

“But as whatever I am, I have more power?” He demanded.

 

“Hai but Daichi you do not understand.” She said looking away.

 

“The only thing I can think of is that I become some manner of beast of the netherworld.” He said with widened eyes.

 

“There is no Netherworld Daichi. There is only Soul Society where pluses go and Hueco Mundo where hollows dwell.” She said softly.

 

“Hollow? Explain!” He demanded.

 

“A hollow is a soul who suffered for whatever reason. There is no moving on from pain; emotionally or physically. The hollow is exactly what it sounds like; hollow.” She said darkly.

 

“Tell me!” He growled.

 

“The Ryuku Islands are wiped out in the near future. Akemi did not exist nor did any of the two kingdoms. I met Grimmjow in my era but he is not Grimmjow Jagaharu. He is Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez and he is what is called and Arrancar.” She said as tears fell down her face.

 

“This is a hollow?” He asked.

 

“Hai. The Arrancar are the most powerful form of hollow. Grimmjow is so powerful, he is known as an Espada. He is almost the same except his feelings are colder and take much longer for him to understand.” She said shaking.

 

“Am I an Arrancar?” He demanded.

 

She did not answer and he hissed in anger.

 

“Hai. You are called a Fraccion. You are under an Espada but this particular Espada is ancient and very powerful. You had to have strength to serve him.” She said wringing her hands.

 

“Do I know who I am?” He asked softly.

 

“You remember everything. Akemi found you and you have the same eyes. She knew you through your soul and your eyes.” She said in a grief filled voice.

 

“Grimmjow in the future era got you with kit. We are able to reproduce as these beings?” Daichi demanded.

 

“A few Arrancar can. I do not know you very well.” She admitted.

 

“Go back. If it as you say I will remember this. Make me stronger! Promise me to make me stronger!” He growled.

 

“How?” She demanded.

 

“I will die in order to become this being. I will do whatever it takes to save her!” He said as tears leaked from his eyes.

 

“Do not sell your soul for power.” She said horrified.

 

“No, you just did it to her. Help me sister! Help me.” He said walking away.

 

Asuna's mind worked overtime and she wondered. She went to Juria and she said nothing. Her inugami sighed and sent her to the future era. She ported to Karakura Town and she knocked on a shop keeper's door. Urahara Kisuke opened it and looked surprised to see her.

 

“I want answers from you and I think you can help me.” She said stepping in.

 

“Well how can I help?” he asked leaning against the door.

 

“How did Aizen turn the Vizards into what they are?” She demanded.

 

“How do you know about that?” He asked shocked.

 

“I am mated to Ichigo, Kisuke. Please! I have seen him in hollowfied form. Now how was it done?” She asked.

 

“I do not know. I never knew. I was banished from Soul Society because the Vizards were innocent but because they had the process done to them; they were condemned to death.” He explained.

 

“So you and the Shihoin onna helped them escape, very honorable of you. I need to meet them.” She said flatly.

 

“You ask a big thing.” He said softly.

 

“I cannot ask Ichigo because he is off playing hero in Hueco Mundo!” She snarled.

 

“Hai well she needed to be returned.” He said bluntly.

 

“I understand that but I am needed here to fight Shouten and wyverns. The youkai evils are spilling everywhere.” Asuna remarked crossing her arms.

 

He sighed and bid her follow him. They ended up walking through the town and they came upon an old abandoned warehouse. She looked around and she pressed her hand to the barrier.

 

“I am assuming you were able to recover Nanami?” She asked softly.

 

“Yeah but she is really pissed off.” He chuckled.

 

“And Yoshiko?” Asuna asked looking at him squarely.

 

He took his hat off for a moment and he looked a little sheepish.

 

“She is fine I guess. She went back to your family's lands. It went well.” He shrugged.

 

“You know Mister Urahara, she loves Ling and she always will but she is starting to open up to the idea of loving again. I know her pain only too well but it can be overcome.” She said as she pressed the barrier harder.

 

“I don't know what to say.” He muttered.

 

“Obviously there is nothing to say.” She stated.

 

She felt an aura and she knew it. A small smile spread on her face when a blonde vizard showed up. He saw Kisuke first then he saw her. His jaw dropped and she bowed.

 

“Captain Hirako! Have you spied anything lately?” She asked amused.

 

“Lady Asuna! I have not been in the woods as of late.” He chuckled.

 

“You two know one another?” Kisuke asked a little surprised.

 

“I met him in the past. I punched Aizen in the face. It was a very good day.” Asuna smirked.

 

“Hai. What are you doing here?” Shinji asked.

 

“You are a Vizard?” She asked.

 

“Hai.” He said gritting his teeth.

 

“Ichigo is affiliated to me.” She said.

 

“He is one of the favorites.” Shinji said smirking.

 

“Hai if that is how you choose to view it.” She murmured.

 

“Look I have no idea what he told you…” Shinji started to say.

 

“He did not tell me anything Mister Hirako.” Asuna said touching his shoulder.

 

“Shinji. Call me Shinji.” He stated.

 

“Okay Shinji. I know old man Yama okay? I am also a telepath but you know this. What was done to you and your `punishment' is very similar to what they have done to Kaito. I am sick of Soul Society, okay?” Asuna stated in a low voice.

 

“I see. Well I guess come down and we will listen to what you have to say.” He said.

 

“Kisuke, may we talk when I return? I need your thoughts.” She said looking at the former shinigami captain.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

She bowed to him and then followed Shinji into the warehouse. She saw various former shinigami and she noticed a silver haired man. He stared at her with hostility and she met his golden brown eyes.

 

“Do you have a problem vizard?” She demanded.

 

“I have a problem with strangers yeah.” He growled.

 

“Kensei, I know this onna.” Shinji said with an authoritive voice.

 

“How?” The silver haired man said.

 

“In the past.” Shinji stated.

 

“I am a youkai.” Asuna stated staring at the obviously hostile man.

 

“Really? I had no clue.” He stated clenching his fists.

 

Asuna growled low in her throat and she appeared right in front of him. He did not even flinch and she stared at his gorgeous eyes.

 

“I am not your enemy. I am here for information. Now you can play nice as I am sure you were taught or we can have a fight and I promise you that you will loose.” She said nose to nose to him.

 

“Bring it.” He said clenching his jaw.

 

“Kensei! Lady Asuna please.” Shinji said impatiently.

 

Asuna back stepped and she was able to scent him really well. It was dizzying to her and she walked away from him. She had no clue who this former shinigami was but she intended to find out. She sat on a metal step and Shinji watched her.

 

“How did you all become what you are? I know that bastard Aizen had a hand in it.” She said.

 

“He was experimenting.” Shinji responded.

 

“He turned his own captain?” She asked shocked.

 

“You really think he has any morals at all?” he chortled.

 

“No, he does not. He has a strange fascination with one of my daughters and he got her pregnant. She is married to Kuchiki Byakuya.” Asuna said cupping her chin.

 

“Kuchiki? He married a youkai?” Kensei asked shocked.

 

“Hai he married my eldest daughter. You guys are sheltered.” She said smirking.

 

“Like we give a fig what goes on in Soul Society.” He growled.

 

“I do not blame you! I am sick of Soul Society as well. Captain General Yamamoto is very political and I get sick of his crap! I am also not really thrilled with them seeing as they sentenced my Tomoshibi daughter to death and oh they banished her sire!” She growled.

 

Kensei stared at her and he realized she had as much bad blood with the shinigami too.

 

“What do you want Lady Asuna?” Shinji asked.

 

“I know two Arrancar who were youkai in their previous incarnations. The strange thing is that they are both remembering those lives. One of them has begged me to help him to become something similar to what you are.” She said bluntly.

 

“Why?” The former captain of Squad Five asked surprised.

 

“Not only are we dealing with Aizen but there will be a youkai invasion on the Ryuku Islands. There is a group of reptile youkai and the Shouten. Now I am sure you do not care one whit about the youkai but the Shouten you should care about. They are transdimensional beings and they will kill anyone who gets in their path; shinigami, Arrancar, youkai, and vizard.” She said again bluntly.

 

“I have heard of the Shouten.” Kensei said looking back at her.

 

“Hai, most of them believe that they are superior to any form of life. Aizen is on my list but I have got to stop the wyvern.” She stated.

 

“So what do you want?” Kensei asked gripping his fists.

 

“I want to help my brother in law defend his mate! I want to stop this pestilence that destroys a branch of my family.” She said meeting those eyes again.

 

“Let us talk amongst ourselves and I will find you.” Shinji said reasonably.

 

“I have a home outside of the city on the beach. I will be at the Urahara shop first.” She said standing.

 

She walked toward the entrance and she felt the brown eyes of the belligerent male on her back. Her heart was hammering in her chest and she ported away. She appeared at the Urahara shop and he had tea ready. She came in and sat at the table.

 

“You alright?” He asked smirking.

 

“Hai. Who is this Kensei?” She asked.

 

“Muguruma Kensei. Former captain of Squad Nine.” He said pleasantly.

 

“I see. That is the squad that the bastard Tousen was captain of.” She said growling.

 

“Hai. Hisagi Shuuhei is the current lieutenant now.” He nodded.

 

“Nanami was involved with him for a little while. He has a tattoo on his face.” She murmured.

 

“Hai. Kensei has the same one on his chest.” Kisuke stated.

 

“I see. It is a tribute then. Well, I shall get to the point. Would it be possible to create a vizard from a youkai?” She asked.

 

Kisuke sputtered and he stared at her in shock.

 

“Why?” he asked with widened eyes.

 

“Two of the Arrancar in Aizen's little army are former youkai. If they can become Arrancar then why can they not become vizards?” She asked.

 

“Unbelievable.” He said shocked.

 

“Well it shocked me as well but it makes sense since Soul Society has both ningen and youkai souls.” She shrugged.

 

“I am in shock at your statements but technically it is possible. What did Shinji say?” He asked.

 

“They are going to talk amongst themselves.” She said sipping her tea.

 

“Well this is shocking and interesting. I have to think on it though.” He said cupping his own chin.

 

“Hai. Well I think I have taken up enough of your time.” She said standing.

 

“Will you tell your sister something?” He said looking up.

 

She nodded and looked at him curiously.

 

“Tell her that I am honored to know her. Tell her I think she is good friend.” He said and she nodded.

 

Asuna nodded and she intended to call Yoshiko when she left here. She slipped away and she realized that her baby sister did indeed like this shinigami.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yoshiko stood in Karakura Town and she walked to the shop. She was angry and she wanted to see him. She went to his shop and she slipped in. She knew of the underground training area and she went down. She saw him tinkering and he looked up. His hat was off and he sighed.

 

“You are a coward!” She growled.

 

“I am sorry you think so.” He said looking back at his project.

 

“You told her to tell me that I am a good friend? That is your way of letting me know how pathetic you must think I am.” She growled.

 

“That was not what I intended. I enjoy your company and I enjoyed working with you.” He said as he worked.

 

“I see. She told me you know. You saved those hybrid shinigami. You did something honorable and they condemned not only them but you as well! You still assist them?” She asked in anger.

 

“I am still a shinigami.” He said without looking at her.

 

“The thing that makes hollows into Arrancar; that was you?” She asked.

 

“It was not supposed to be used as such but hai I created the Hogyoku.” He said in a frustrated tone.

 

“Kisuke please look at me!” She cried.

 

“I am busy. Your sister had an interesting idea that I am looking into.” He stated.

 

It hit her that she wanted him. She had desired him as he was handsome and he was something but in a very understated way. She neared him and knelt by him. She had on a long silver silk dress. She wore a black bolero sweater.

 

“You are afraid of something.” She said softly.

 

“No, I am not.” He stated flatly.

 

“I guess I shall leave then.” She said shoving down her anger.

 

“Hai. Thank you for stopping by.” He said cordially.

 

She bit her lip and she argued with herself. She jerked his head to the side and she kissed him. She had caught him off guard and it was suddenly passionate. Her heart was hammering and she could not catch her breath. She remembered feeling this way about Ling. She was terrified in a way but their tongues were stroking the other. She whined softly and he suddenly pulled back.

 

“Thanks.” He muttered.

 

“Thanks?” She said blinking in shock.

 

“Hai. Thanks. See you around.” He said looking back down.

 

She suddenly ported away and she was shocked at his indifference. She could not understand why he denied them and she sat down in a huff. His pushing her away made him want him more.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was in her beach house and it seemed too quiet. She sighed as she flipped through books. She looked up when she saw Kensei on her porch.

 

“I expected Shinji.” She said surprised.

 

“I want to know what your deal is.” He said staring at her.

 

“My deal? I was quite plain when I spoke.” She stated.

 

“I don't trust anyone. Those you trust can back stab you in a second.” Kensei said almost barking it out.

 

“I am not Aizen. I am in fact playing Aizen at the moment but I am sure he knows it.” She said standing and motioning for him to enter.

 

“You associate with a bastard and we will get our revenge.” He said gritting his teeth.

 

“I do not associate with him for power. I am using his Arrancar to help me fight the Shouten. You have no idea of my history.” She growled.

 

“I checked up on you. I checked out what I could. You're inu youkai royalty and your family has lots of yoki as it is called.” He said circling her.

 

“Hai.” She said watching him.

 

“You're a warrior princess who has penchant for men.” He stated as he watched her.

 

“I like males hai. So?” She growled.

 

“I don't care but I watch my back and my friends. Youkai normally don't give a damn about ningen stuff.” Kensei said clenching his fists.

 

“That is the past Muguruma Kensei; former captain of Squad Nine. Kuna Mashiro was your lieutenant and Tousen Kaname was in your squad. You have a tattoo of the number sixty nine on your chest in reference to the kanji in your name and your squad. You were attacked by Tousen and they turned you into a hollow. Am I correct?” She asked raising a silver brow.

 

He glared at her and she could understand his anger. He was betrayed by those he trusted and someone from his own squad.

 

“By your glares then I can tell I am correct. I am sorry that it happened. Aizen is about as evil as they come but I am not your enemy. If anything I am like you in that I am trying to do the same thing; in my case it is for my family.” She said calmly.

 

“You have really good sources or did Kisuke run his mouth?” He demanded.

 

“Kisuke said very little. I have very good sources. Would you like to sit and we can sit and pretend to be civilized? I can offer sake or perhaps even food if you like.” She said in a softer tone.

 

“Sake.” He grunted.

 

She nodded and she went to her sideboard. She poured him a shot and brought it to him. He took it and downed it. He sat down and she could tell he was from a middle class family. It seemed he had not been poor or rich. He kept himself rigid and she wondered if she got him drunk that he might loosen up.

 

“Take the bottle.” She said sitting.

 

He looked at her still like she would attack him and she sighed.

 

“Ask questions. I will probably answer them.” She said in annoyance.

 

“Why do you want to know about us?” He demanded.

 

“I told you at your hideaway. I was asked to look into it and it truly has possibilities. I would rather a vizard then a hole in a body.” She said bluntly.

 

“One of these Arrancar one of your men?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She said honestly.

 

He downed more sake and did not say anything.

 

“You have no opinion of my life? Everyone else does.” She said snidely.

 

“I don't care. Why should I? Were you not a ruler or something?” He asked narrowing his eyes.

 

“Hai I was.” She said eyeing him back.

 

“If you have the stones to rule then why not? Thanks for the sake.” He said standing.

 

“Are you a wagering man Muguruma?” She asked.

 

“Depends on what's at stake.” He said.

 

“I noticed your zanpakuto stays in its shikai.” Asuna indicated.

 

“Yeah so?” He asked eyeing her.

 

“Like to spar? If I win then no more third degree and you trust me. If you win then you name the terms.” Asuna stated as she stood up.

 

“Then you leave us the hell alone.” He said flatly.

 

“Meet you on the beach.” She said smirking.

 

He nodded and he left the house. She went to her room and her heart was again thumping out of control. She changed into yoga pants and a tank top. She ported outside and she saw him further up the beach. She held her outstretched hand. Kensei watched a youkai blade appear out of her yoki and he gauged her at above captain level. She was suddenly behind him and he whirled around. He noticed her belly and he knew to avoid her stomach. He released a small energy blast with his Tachikaze. She blocked it easily and he was suddenly slammed backwards. He looked surprised and she had similar yoki to his own spiritual powers. She released another wave from her fang and jumped forward to avoid it. He suddenly sealed his zanpakuto and he refused to use his most devastating attacks. He cursed her under his breath and she whirled around and swung her blade and met his. Her fang's hilt was wrapped in a silver-blue silk and the guard was intricate. It swirled around as if the wind itself and he looked at her. The blade was barely curved and it was a blinding white metal. She stepped back and lifted her arm. She lifted her left arm and outstretched her palm.

 

“Katana only onna. I ain't gonna hurt your baby.” He growled.

 

“Oh really? You think I cannot protect myself?” She asked in annoyance.

 

“I think you're a youkai who has a shit load of yoki. So we do it this way or not at all.” He snapped.

 

She moved with incredible speed and shoved him hard with her fang.

 

“Fine then.” She said grinning.

 

He could tell she actually enjoyed this immensely and they began knocking blades. Their clashes were powerful and his arms stung with exertion of fighting her. She would block in a low position but suddenly strike in a high. Somehow they avoided cutting the other and blades kept striking. They were shoving against the other trying to gain ground.

 

“Kamis you are strong.” She grunted.

 

“Yeah so are you.” He frowned.

 

“Do you smile?” She demanded as she shoved him back.

 

“Not really. Do you ever stop?” He asked in retort.

 

They continued to clash blades. She surged her strength and shoved him backwards. He fell flat on his back and she lightly pressed the fang to his chest. Her chest was heaving with the exertion and she watched him.

 

“I win.” She said in a soft tone.

 

“Guess you did.” He said watching her as closely.

 

“Take the sake with you. I cannot drink it.” She said falling to her butt.

 

He sat up and nodded. She laid back and closed her eyes. Her heart was still hammering and she felt winded.

 

“Should you have done that in your condition?” He asked.

 

“I have given birth on a battle field before. This is nothing.” She murmured.

 

“Surely not!” He said surprised.

 

“Hai. I swear. It was when I ruled Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Western Qinghai. The Tsuchigumo lord Ishin was moving against me and I was having my second set of twins.” She said with a smile.

 

“You gave birth on a battle field?” He asked.

 

“Well Nori anyway. I had Ken'ichi inside on my futon.” Asuna said rolling her head to the side to look at him.

 

“I will trust a little. I gotta go.” He said standing.

 

“Thank you for the spar. You are a superior fighter.” She said sitting up.

 

“Yeah thanks.” He said walking off.

 

She stared up at the sky and she sighed. She suddenly jumped when she saw Grimmjow standing over her. He was grinning at her like a madman and she laughed.

 

“You are fast.” She said.

 

“I promise it's the only thing I'm quick at.” He snickered.

 

“Uh huh.” She laughed as he hauled her up.

 

He stripped her top from her and he immediately began licking along her throat and nipples.

 

“Come on bitch. You need riding.” He said smirking.

 

She rolled her eyes and he pulled her into her house. She became wrapped up Grimmjow. She thought briefly of Muguruma Kensei and decided he needed to at least be a friend.

He kept going over the possibilities and it was plausible what they were suggesting. He sat back and he took a sip of tea and was working it out on paper. He was tired and he stood up. He moved to his room and stripped out of his black haori and green kosode. He turned and Yoshiko was standing there. He said nothing and he went back to stripping to his boxer shorts.

 

“Are you going to say something or shall I get to see you naked?” She asked.

 

“I planned on a bath but hey if want to watch.” He shrugged.

 

“I hear your heart hammering as hard as mine. I know you cover up anything that is remotely uncomfortable with humor. I know you ruined your life in Soul Society because you did the right thing. I know you are brilliant and Kamis you are beautiful.” She said breathing hard.

 

“Lady Yoshiko, I'm again flattered. You're a beautiful onna and Kamis know if I was the type to take advantage then hell I would but I'm not okay?” He said running his hand through his hair.

 

She was in front of him and she met his grey-green eyes.

 

“Kisuke, I want to move on. I do not want to forget him but I do not want to hate living anymore. I am inu and I want to touch and be touched again. I want to make love and lay in bed talking with my love. I want to feel you next to me.” She said hoarsely.

 

“Yoshiko don't make this hard.” He said closing his eyes.

 

She gently pressed her hand against his groin and his eyes snapped open.

 

“Not yet but I have not gotten to it yet.” She said in light sarcasm.

 

“I have connections still in Soul Society. I can get you to your dead mate.” He said clenching his teeth.

 

“What?” She asked as her chest heaved.

 

“Hai. You do not want to spoil a reunion with a dirty encounter okay? If you want to take me up on it then I can get you in.” He said stepping back.

 

“Why would you do that?” Yoshiko asked.

 

“Because I try to be a nice guy and you shouldn't have had to kill him.” He said heavily.

 

She suddenly was against him and their lips were locked. Her hands were in his blonde hair and his were in hers. She ended up pushing him against the wall and his words did not match his actions. One hand slipped down and pulled his boxers down. He ripped his lips from hers and he was breathing heavily in her ear.

 

“I don't want to get attached and then turn around and loose it.” He said in a hoarse baritone.

 

“Yet you thrust it away from you gleefully?” She asked just as hoarsely.

 

“My life is not so bad.” He stated as she clutched at his shoulders.

 

She looked down and saw his member brush her silk clad thigh. Her caramel colored eyes were full of passion and need. She slid down his body and she saw the blonde hair around his groin. She truly had never seen such pale hair. Yoshiko's hands lightly ran over his bare backside and lust ripped through her. She felt as though her heart was going to thud right out of her chest.

 

“I want you.” She said brushing her cheek against his male flesh.

 

He did not think he could make coherent thoughts as she spoke. He felt first her soft cheek and then she brushed her lips across the head of his staff. Tremors shot through him and his palms were pressed against the wall. He felt her scorching breath against the sensitive flesh and then her tongue. It was a phantom caress of her moist appendage. He moaned out loudly as she slowly slid back up his body; the silk of her dress dragging across his aroused flesh.

 

“I will wait for you. I will wait until you need me.” She said slipping her tongue into his mouth.

 

His response was animal like in intensity and she slowly backed away from him. She turned slowly and left him there. Kisuke was panting trying to catch his breath and her touches had left him completely weak. Not even when Yoruichi and he were lovers had he felt this. He was glad for the moment he was alone. He went to his bathroom and turned the water on his shower to cold.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna decided to take advantage of the time in the modern era and she lavished attention on her kumo mates. Ishin was asleep next to her and she was watching him sleep and she took his hand and pressed it to her belly. A babe rolled and he woke up. His black eyes watched her and his smile was soft.

 

“Hello.” He murmured.

 

“Hello. Feel here. Ah hai there she is. Feel her?” She asked.

 

“Hai. Asuna, she is strong.” Ishin sighed.

 

“Hai. She is your daughter. I have seen Iyo in Hueco Mundo.” She said running her hand up his thigh.

 

“I have seen her here as well. She is pregnant but she will not tell me whose it is.” He said softly.

 

“I think I suspect but I cannot confirm it. Kenji is not saying either.” She sighed.

 

“Those two. They were such good younglings but they covered up for each other.” He said softly.

 

Asuna felt the mattress sink in behind her and she looked back to see Naraku. He looked sleepy and he kissed her neck and pressed his hand into her belly.

 

“Sweet babes. Night you two.” He yawned.

 

Ishin smiled and they snuggled up with Asuna between them. She slipped into sleep between them both. The next morning she was up with the son and Naraku watched her with heavy eyes.

 

“How are you beloved?” He asked as she dressed.

 

“I am okay. I am getting more tired easier. I feel like they are growing so fast.” She said uncomfortable.

 

“I wish you would stay here.” He stated softly.

 

“I may have to.” Asuna responded.

 

“Okay. Nobu has been giving you things to make sure their lungs are developed.” Naraku stretched.

 

“Hai. I have been faithful in taking them.” She promised.

 

He nodded and Ishin woke up. He had a goofy grin on his face and she made a quizzical look at him.

 

“I like it when you are here is all. I like to see your pregnant belly. Such a hot sight.” He yawned.

 

“Good Kamis Ishin. I wish for once that one of you knew what it was like to be pregnant.” She groused.

 

“Yeah right.” He snorted.

 

“You enjoy getting me this way!” She accused.

 

“Absolutely! Never had so much fun as when we practiced getting you pregnant.” He chortled.

 

Her full kumo mate got up and went about his business. Naraku was chuckling at his brother and she kissed him on the lips. She pressed her forehead to his and whispered her love. She ported away and she went about her kitchen in her beach house. She took several medicines and draughts that Nobu had prescribed. She was drinking a glass of water when she noticed Shinji on the beach. She set down her glass and she ventured outside. His trousers pants were rolled up and he was kicking sand.

 

“We talked about it and I persuaded them to hear you through fully.” He said staring ahead.

 

“Muguruma spoke against me?” She asked.

 

“No, he actually defended you. Something about a bet.” He said confused.

 

Asuna grinned and looked ahead as they walked. She looked over at him and smiled.

 

“I suppose I really embarrassed you when we first met.” She laughed.

 

“Well it was not every day I had seen people make love.” He said with a smirk.

 

“Well you seemed so serious.” She laughed louder.

 

“Not really. I'm not that serious of a person but damn you have a nice body.” He grinned.

 

“Thank you but I am ready for these babies to be here.” She said grunting in annoyance.

 

“How soon?” He asked curiously.

 

“Soon I hope. They are of kumo descent so I have to give birth sooner rather then later. Kumo youkai are normally big at birth.” She commented.

 

“Well you look great.” He said walking on.

 

“May I meet with you all again this evening?” She asked.

 

“Hai. We will be there.” He said walking away.

 

She looked at the water and it was so peaceful at the moment. She began to walk back to her home and she stiffened. She turned and there was Hanaj. She sighed heavily and he looked stricken.

 

 

“What?” She asked.

 

“I am sorry. Forgive me.” He said softly.

 

She jerked around and there was Lei. He smirked widely and he held his morphed hand at her throat.

 

“I am pretty sure I can free my prince here from you. He was punished you know for turning your brats and for bedding you.” He laughed almost cruelly.

 

“You bastard! What did you do?” She snarled at him.

 

“Let me put it this way, he is bound in power at the moment. Evil harlot spawning more nasty corporeals.” He said starting to phase his hand through her abdomen.

 

She screamed and Lei was fixing to crush a babe when she grabbed his forearm and crushed the bone. He shrieked and pulled himself back. She held out both palms and released a huge nami through both palms. Lei snarled as he was caught up and he shrieked again as he had to phase out fast. He went to appear behind her.

 

“Futtobase!” She heard yelled.

 

A blast of pure raw reiastu blasted right past her and smashed Lei backwards. He could barely move and Asuna collapsed. She saw the wraith and she was sure it was not Hanaj. It looked just like him and had to be another sibling. She flung another nami and it hit the wraith squarely. Lei managed to roll and grab the other male. The disappeared in a shoki and she knew they were still on this plane. Kensei knelt by her and she was breathing hard. She closed her eyes and she could feel Ishin's daughter in her mind.

 

“Help me.” She said in a trembling voice.

 

“Hai. What's wrong?” He asked kneeling by her.

 

“How did you know?” She asked in a pained tone.

 

“I was out getting food when I felt the spiritual pressure. Hey you crying?” He asked in a gruff tone.

 

“I can hear her. He hurt her!” She cried.

 

“There's a ningen hospital nearby. I can use shunpo still.” He said picking her up.

 

He was surprised at how light she was and he used flash steps to get her to Karakura General. He appeared in the emergency department and he noticed she was dripping blood.

 

“Ask for Doctor Ishida. Please.” She begged.

 

“Hey! Need a Doctor Ishida over here.” He called.

 

A ningen came over and she shook her head no.

 

“Please tell Doctor Ishida that Doctor Yamasaki's mother is here. Please hurry.” She said as she was beginning to get tired.

 

“Inu don't fall asleep! Hey you don't fall asleep!” He said shaking her lightly.

 

A moment later Doctor Ishida ran into his own emergency department. He saw some manner of shinigami being holding the mother of his lover. She was laid on a gurney and blood began to stain the sheet.

 

“Get OR Two ready stat!” He called.

 

“Will she be okay?” Kensei asked in a low voice.

 

“I am not equipped to deal with a supe. Whoever you are shinigami can you call Kurosaki Isshin and Yamasaki Hospital in Tokyo. Tell them that I am going to perform a crash section. Do it now!” Ryuken cried.

 

He rolled the inu princess towards an elevator and Kensei got out his cell phone. He called the famous hospital in Tokyo first. It was merely minutes later when a silver haired onna in scrubs came in followed by a raven haired male. He said nothing and figured he had done his good deed. He said a prayer under his breath for the safety of the inu and her babies.

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

Nanami began scrubbing in the sink and so was her sire. He was a wreck and she was scared too.

 

“Chichi, you can watch but you cannot operate. You are shaking badly.” She said softly.

 

“Nami. Shut up! I will operate.” He said as he scrubbed harder.

 

They both were gowned and Ryuken was making the incision into her uterus when they came.

 

“Ryuken, I have it now.” Nanami said from behind her mask.

 

“She was hemorrhaging.” He said as he stepped back.

 

He watched her in awe as she carefully cut and they suctioned the blood. Nobu was the one suctioning and Nanami pulled out a raven haired girl. The tiny babe began shrieking loudly when her cord was cut. She was laid on a warmer and Nanami went back to pulling the babes out. The female was good sized and Nanami looked at her father. He nodded and she pulled out the placenta from triplet a. The tiny girl had a laceration on her chest and Ryuken went to look at it. She was releasing a quivering cry and he noticed Nanami wince a little.

 

“She is in pain.” She said.

 

“Hai. I will give her something.” He nodded.

 

She nodded in return and she pulled out her full blooded brother. He had silver hair like her and he began whining as soon as he hit the air. Nanami never felt so much relief as when she heard that cry. Nobu had to step back as tears were pricking his eyes. She put him on another warmer and had to dig a little for the third. She pulled out another silver haired pup and this female was gurgling and began screaming loudly as soon as she hit the air. Nanami smiled behind her mask and Naraku's babe was a feisty little thing already. She bore her mother's crest and all of her markings as well. She also had the blue markings above her eyes and Nanami shook her head. Naraku was going to piss himself when he saw her. She opened her eyes and they were mahogany like her sires. She handed off her sister and she worked on her mother.

 

“Chichi! Her uterus is boggy!” Nanami cried.

 

“Adavate Nanami! Massage it well.” Nobu said calmly.

 

She nodded and called for the drug as she massaged the uterus. She calmed after the drug was onboard and it worked. She continued to sew her mother up and Asuna came to just a little.

 

“Nobu? Are they?” She asked in a heavy tone.

 

“They are perfect. They are a little small but we counted on that. Look at them.” He said holding each one up.

 

“Name them. You three name your babes.” She said passing out.

 

All three were calm and they were now in the same warmer. They looked between three and four pounds each. They were healthy size premature infants but they needed time in the NICU.

 

“Nanami? Find me when you are done?” Nobu called.

 

She nodded and she finished stapling her mother together. The adrenaline rush finally left her exhausted and she slowly followed the gurney to recovery. Ryuken came up beside her and he was in awe.

 

“You are the finest surgeon I have ever seen.” He said lifting her hand and moving his mask.

 

He kissed her hand and his eyes were full of wonder.

 

“I have to talk to you.” She said hoarsely.

 

“What is wrong?” He asked as they walked.

 

“Not right now okay? I promise I will find you today. Can you give us a private part of NICU? Youkai babes are different then ningen babes. Kumo babes are born with teeth.” She laughed.

 

“Wow.” He said shaking his head in amusement.

 

“Okay. I will see you in just a bit. She was brought in by a strange shinigami by the way.” He said.

 

“Okay. I have no idea then. Let me check on her in recovery and I will see my father. Then I will meet you in your office. I saw Uryu by the way and he is okay.” She said as she walked away.

 

He was stunned but he knew she must have been in Hueco Mundo. He went to his office and waited.

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

Nobu could not get over his son. He looked like a tiny Shinobu but he had her eyes down to her pupils. He looked at his baby and he was in love. He was opening and shutting his little hands as he looked around. He had no obvious markings and he watched his babe. He felt Ishin and Naraku appear and Nobu looked up.

 

“Where are they?” Ishin asked.

 

“Over here my lord.” He said smiling.

 

Ishin walked over to a warmer and there was a raven haired infant and she had black eyes. She had very faint magenta markings that mimicked her mother's marks. Ishin ran his finger along her cheek and he too was mesmerized.

 

“Hey there little girl. You are so beautiful.” He murmured in funnel.

 

She jerked at her sire's voice and made a soft noise. He felt her mind and he gently picked her up. Naraku was staring at his own daughter and she was looking around.

 

“Ishin look! Look how pretty she is.” He said softly.

 

“Well look at how pretty mine is!” Ishin laughed.

 

“They are all a little small but they do not need a vent. Triplet A had a laceration on her chest but that was repaired with Chichi's silk. Hello Chichi Ishin and Chichi Naraku.” Nanami said as she kissed each cheek.

 

“Thank you baby girl.” Naraku said staring down at his daughter.

 

“Haha said name them. So it is up to you all. She was attacked by a Shouten I think. The story is sketchy but she is alright. They will need a week or two in the NICU but then they can go home.” She said as she went over their charts.

 

“Thank you Nami. Are you okay?” Nobu asked.

 

She had to tell her father the truth and she was on a modified schedule at work. She was exhausted and had to have constant draughts.

 

“I am okay. I am tired.” She said sighing.

 

“Go see Doctor Ishida. Are you telling him?” He asked.

 

“Hai. I have to.” She said as she walked away.

 

“Tell the other doctor what?” Ishin demanded.

 

“She is pregnant.” Nobu informed the brothers.

 

“What? When?” Naraku demanded.

 

“It seems in the past two months. It is an Arrancar.” He sighed.

 

“Damn hollows.” Naraku growled.

 

“You like one hollow.” Ishin pointed out.

 

“Yeah well he is not gonna stay that way if I can help it.” Naraku muttered.

 

“They need names.” Nobu said smiling.

 

“Nayu.” Naraku said smiling.

 

“Noe.” Ishin smiled as well.

 

“You two already decided. How cool. Well shall I follow suit and name him an `N' name?” He asked.

 

“Hai that would be perfect.” Ishin said with a soft smile for his baby.

 

“Hello Naota.” Nobu said to his son.

 

“Asuna is going to kill us.” Naraku laughed.

 

“Oh well.” Ishin said grinning.

 

“She will be okay, Asuna that is. She was bleeding heavily but Nanami got it stopped.” Nobu said going to a rocking chair and he began pathing to his newborn son.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nanami made it to Ryuken's office and she slipped in. She was still in scrubs and a scrub cap and she collapsed in a chair. Her fiancé watched her and she looked like a whipped koinu.

 

“Nami, what is wrong?” He asked.

 

“I am pregnant. I acted like a whore and allowed myself to engage in mindless rutting. I am sorry. I shall understand if you wish to call off our wedding.” She said staring at the wall behind him.

 

He was stunned and that was the last thing he had expected her to say.

 

“May I ask who?” He asked calmly.

 

“I was an experiment for the Arrancar. Come to find out he used kumo pheromones but it does not justify my behavior. I was a whore and I am most sorry.” She said hanging her head.

 

“Nanami look at me.” He said softly.

 

She stared up at him and her eyes were glazed in tears. He could tell she was haunted and he moved to sit next to her.

 

“You have instincts I will never understand but do you love me?” He asked.

 

“Hai. So much.” She said looking away.

 

“Let us go away this weekend. I will fly us to America. We will get married in Vegas. You joked about it but let us just do it. We will manage this.” He stated holding her face between his palms.

 

“Really?” She asked beginning to cry.

 

“Hai. We can bind it right? The babe I mean.” He said gently.

 

“Hai. I am being horrid but I threatened to create a pathogen to kill Arrancar.” She said in hatred.

 

“I neglected you. I am so sorry. I do promise that it was to help Uryu.” He said pulling her into a hug.

 

She closed her eyes and she was being deceitful. She had no intentions of giving up Ryuken or Uryu. She loved the doctor with her whole heart and she was falling for his son. She had not wanted to leave Uryu but he had insisted she return. They had heated words and she felt pain and bereft without him near. She had taught the young Quincy many things and he had quickly learned how to join with her that made her loose all thought. She had it bad for them both and she felt safe for the moment.

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

Asuna woke up and Nobu was there with the triplets. She smiled softly and he brought them to her.

 

“Nobu! Oh Kamis look he has silver hair.” She said laughing lightly.

 

“Hai and he has visible pupils.” He grinned.

 

“How odd.” She said smiling.

 

“His name is Naota.” He said laying him in her arms.

 

“Perfect. The girls?” She asked.

 

“Nayu is Naraku's and Noe is Ishin's daughter.” He said lifting each one up.

 

“All three start with n? Goodness Nobu. They are perfect.” She said happily.

 

“Now no rutting for six weeks. Do you understand? Not one time.” He said gently.

 

“Hai doctor.” She teased.

 

“Okay. You need sleep and I am taking them back to the NICU. By the way what attacked you?” He asked.

 

“Lei Jing.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Fucking Shouten.” He snapped as he pushed the bassinet out the door.

 

She was sleepy and she could feel the effects of a widow venom. Her body was tired and she managed to roll to her side. Shinji and Kensei were both there and she was surprised.

 

“Hello vizards.” She said grinning.

 

“You are on powerful medicines?” Shinji asked gently.

 

“Hai. Thank you Muguruma Kensei. I was bleeding internally.” She said with a tired smile.

 

“No problem. Those were the Shouten you talked about?” He demanded.

 

“Hai. Nasty brutes.” She laughed a little.

 

“You are quite high aren't you?” Shinji asked laughing softly.

 

“Hai. I am very high right now. Widow venom is marvelous for youkai. I will figure you out Muguruma.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Nothing to figure out. Glad you're okay onna.” Kensei said walking out.

 

Shinji neared her and looked down.

 

“He was concerned. He wanted to know you were alright. You earned his respect when you fought him apparently and he says you two have similar powers.” He explained.

 

“Cool.” She laughed softly.

 

“We will set up the meeting for a week from now; will that give you enough time?” Shinji asked.

 

“Hai. I will be up and around in a couple of days.” She murmured.

 

“Good. Congratulations Lady Asuna.” Shinji said bowing.

 

She nodded and she passed out asleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

His mind was preoccupied and he could not concentrate on the sketches he had drawn. He let out a heavy breath and slammed his tea cup down. He had to get her off of his mind but he could not. He stood up and grabbed Benehime and walked out into the night. This was not supposed to happen to him. It was something that happened to Yoruichi or Ichigo but not him. He could name ten other men who were more interesting. He was just a crazy shinigami scientist who enjoyed life in its many incarnations. He sighed and wandered for awhile. He realized he was near the beach and he saw her. He walked on and he neared her.

 

“Lady Yoshiko. Good evening.” He said bowing.

 

“Good evening Mister Urahara.” She said formally.

 

“Ah I see we are back to formality. Enjoy the sea air.” He stated walking on.

 

She growled low in her throat and he turned to see her eyes reddened. For some reason the sight made his stomach clench. She turned her back to him and she undid her soft red knee length dress. When she was not fighting; she preferred very feminine things. Kisuke watched her slip down the red silk slip dress. She was wearing a red thong with matching strapless bra. She ignored him as if he was not there and he was captivated in the slow, erotic strip tease. She undid her bra and dropped it and slipped off the thong. She continued to ignore him and went into the water. He was a goner he realized and he laid Benehime next to her clothes. He slipped from his own clothing and waded out to her. The moonlight spilled onto the water and she was illuminated. He came up behind her and moved her black hair. He said nothing and began to kiss the back of her neck in a trance. She made a soft moan and her head fell forward. His hands were on her shoulders and they slid down her arms. His lips were devouring and burning her skin and her eyes were shut in ecstasy. She had one night stands often in the century since Ling died but his touch was maddening her and making her feel so vulnerable. She felt his tongue along her ear and she was going to explode before he even really touched her. He turned her around and gently tipped her head back. He pressed his lips to hers and their arms wrapped around the other.

 

He was dizzy. He felt like he was in a fog and their kisses were heady as their tongues tasted and massaged. The water was warm; his body was as tight as a snare drum. She was not carrying it beyond the intense and passionate pressing of skin and mouths. His hands fisted in her soft length and she made soft moans and sighs. His thumbs traced along her magenta stripes on her cheeks.

 

“Maddened.” He groaned against her lips.

 

“Hai.” She said turning her head and began kissing his palm.

 

They began kissing again and they began to edge closer to the sand. He laid her back against the beach and his lips trailed down her body. There was nothing said; all communication was done through touch. Yoshiko was lost totally and she was fluid and she gasped a little as she felt the lightest of nips at her nipples. Something was twisting and curling in her lower body and she shifted against him. He continued to graze his lips against her skin and the look on his face made her heart stop a moment. Their eyes held a steady gaze and he moved deliberately. Kisuke never broke her gaze and he kissed her softly as he pushed inside of her. Yoshiko lifted her head a little and her face twisted a little as the pleasure continued to slowly creep from her belly out. He could not still his lips as he littered her face and neck. Their dance was slow and sweeping as they continued to become more enraptured in bliss. Kisuke leisurely pulled back and Yoshiko moaned at the loss. He rolled her to her belly and she rested her head to the side and he lifted her hips a little. He was desperate to hear her cries of massive culmination. He held himself up by his arms and pressed his length back in. She released a guttural cry and her fingers curled in the sand. He pistoned his hips and she began a long moan as his penetration was deep and his angle was hitting just right. He leaned his head down and his chin length hair tickled her cheek and his soft stubble grazed her neck. His nips at the back of her neck were becoming harder and she gasped loudly as she was overcome in a tremendous explosion of sensation. Her scream left her winded and she cut her own lip with her lengthened fangs. He completely tensed up and her body constricted around him. He slipped an arm around her waist and slipped his long fingers through her raven curls and began massaging her inflamed nub. She threw her head back and snarled out in inu as she shook under him and he shook against her in his own splintering. He held onto her until he calmed. They fell to their sides and she panted. Her inner inu was crashing around her mind and restraints.

 

“Kisuke.” She rasped.

 

“What's wrong?” He asked her.

 

“So flawless. I am affected so much. Must go.” She said scrambling away.

 

“Stay.” He said holding onto her.

 

“Inu! I am inu.” She snarled.

 

“Hai I know. You aren't going to hurt me, remember? I already died once.” He laughed gently.

 

He spooned her body and his voice was soothing. He ran a hand through her hair and it was as if a male inu had her in his arms. He very slowly was able to bring her back to herself.

 

 

“My sister's house is not far from here. She had the babes. Come let us rest.” She said calmly.

 

“Hai.” He said slowly gathering his clothes.

 

“You needed me.” She said under her breath.

 

“Ha.” He nodded and he looked almost saddened.

 

She took his hand and ported them to the beach house and the spare bedroom. They had fallen into a very light sleep and her claws were lightly dragging along his belly. His mind was clear for the moment and he hated himself. His realized she was a wake and her lips were grazing his neck like he had done to her. His eyes shut and the exquisite torture was taking him in and she was nipping down his chest and her teeth nibbled his flat nubs. She drifted down his chest to his belly and she licked at his abdomen. His breath caught a little and she moved between his thighs.

 

“Yoshiko?” He asked softly.

 

She looked at him and her smile caught him off guard. She lowered her head and began to swipe the head of his member. He truly lost all thought; he watched her as she pleasured him and it was acute. The burning in his chest was becoming harsher and bowed his lower body a little. Yoshiko managed to take him all and one of his hands was balled into a fist in her hair and the other in the sheets of the bed. She wanted him to climax it seemed and he could not stop if he tried. He arched his body and his throat was exposed. Yoshiko saw it and she growled loudly. He jerked softly against her mouth and Kisuke closed his eyes. She pulled back and she traced his lips with her thumb.

 

“Kisuke you want feeling and I absolutely adore you. I want so much more from you.” She stated.

 

“I don't want to loose this or you.” He admitted.

 

“Okay.” She said crawling into his lap.

 

“When I saw you in the past; I thought you very handsome in your shinigami clothes. You have a raw sensuality now.” She said placing her palms against his chest.

 

“You're going to make blush. What's a boy to do?” He asked teasingly.

 

“Become exhausted because he denied a girl for too long.” She teased back.

 

The air changed a little and she had begun to grind her hips against him. They joined and they wrapped their arms around the other. Kisuke did not want to be selfish and he knew he would be.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was sitting up and she had asked Nobu if she could hunt and he said absolutely not. She groused but she felt good. She demanded some manner of strong birth control for the moment and Nanami was thinking on it. She realized that feeding an extra babe was exhausting and she continued to try. She fed the triplets who very much acted like the twins and could not be separated. She had Nanami stay with them and she winked at her daughter as she ported out to the West. She changed form to find some game. She caught a deer and ate her fill. She realized the raw meat and the blood would help her. She intended to find Eyal and feed off of him too. She changed form and she was shocked to see Jin and Sheng leaning against a tree. It was quite evident that they were brothers and they both sported short hair.

 

“Hello koi.” Sheng said smirking.

 

“You know she looks completely shocked brother.” Jin said amused.

 

“Why are you two here?” She said stupidly.

 

“We felt you.” Jin said inspecting his claws.

 

“Hai we are still bound to you. That did not stop even when we passed on but here we are.” Sheng said smiling.

 

“I do not need to deal with you right now! I had enough of the Panyu inu to last me many lifetimes.” Asuna growled loudly.

 

“Kamis Sheng she always was a nasty little bitch.” Jin said smirking.

 

“Hai big brother. She definitely has a nasty temper.” Sheng stated grinning.

 

Asuna glared at them both and she turned and tried to stalk off. Jin appeared in front of her and Sheng was behind her.

 

“You need some help in dealing with these creatures. You just gave birth.” The elder brother stated.

 

“Hai. Now leave me the hell alone.” She growled louder.

 

Sheng turned her head and his blue eyes were amused. He pecked her lips and she tried to not respond.

 

“Come koi we used to make passionate love.” He chuckled.

 

“Stop! I was no good for either of you. Leave me alone.” She snapped.

 

“You know centuries can change a man and so can America by the way. Our boys are handsome are they not?” Sheng asked in a sultry tone.

 

“Hai they are handsome.” She said clenching her jaw.

 

“Jin.” Sheng said with his sexy smirk.

 

Jin gently turned her head and he leaned forward and kissed her deeply. She groaned and his tongue was wicked. Sheng began cupping her breasts and she was overcome. Jin finally released her mouth and cupped her chin.

 

“Am I still a male whore?” He asked her in a deep voice.

 

“I…” She stammered.

 

“See you around koi. Kaz and Roto are going to come see you by the way. I want you to explain to them why you did what you did. Tell them the truth for once. Tell them exactly what you are. Took me forever to figure it out.” Sheng said laughing lightly.

 

Both brothers ported away and she was standing there completely dumbfounded. She could not think straight and they both knew her well. She ported to her beach house to gather up some clothing. She missed Ichigo and his large persona but he was still in Hueco Mundo. She called Nobu to tell him she had escaped and to go ahead and send the triplets to Sendai as soon as they were big enough. She had to go back and forth to feed them for a little while. She called Eyal and he gladly welcomed her to Budapest. Rina was still sulking from her little encounter with Gabrielus but in Asuna's opinion it did her arrogant daughter good. She fed from the uppyr king and lay in his arms. She slept for a little while and ported right back to Japan to feed her babes. Nobu was furious and she tuned him out. When she was done she ported back to her beach house. She collapsed on her bed and she fell into a deep sleep.

She woke up when she felt auras nearby. She jumped up and threw on her pajamas and ran outside. There were several Shouten but they were fighting the Vizards. She was totally in shock and she extended her hand and Konkisaiga appeared. She joined the melee and she was barefoot as she fought. She saw Shinji with a hollow mask on and she was fascinated. Kensei was fighting without his but he was powerful. There was a small blonde girl fighting and so was a curly haired blonde man. Asuna actually took off the head of one Shouten and she was grossed out by it. The small battle was over quickly and she used her Dakkasou to reduce the bodies to nothing. Kensei watched her and she watched him.

 

“They came after us.” Shinji said setting down next to her.

 

“They must view you as a threat now. I am sorry to involve you.” She sighed in anger at herself.

 

“No, these things are insidious.” He stated looking at the slowly dissolving bodies.

 

“That one I fought must have reported back to whomever.” Kensei stated.

 

“Shit! Lei can move back and forth just as easily as I can. He has been reporting to Raganos this whole time! I cannot believe I was that stupid.” Asuna said with widened eyes.

 

“So what are you going to do?” Shinji asked.

 

“I am going to have to find his way of traversing time and destroy it. Damnit! I am so sorry to involve you all. Please feel free to ignore my requests and take care of yourselves.” She sighed.

 

“I'm not a coward!” The blonde girl said.

 

“No, we don't give our word and go back on it.” Kensei stated glaring at her.

 

“As you wish. May I meet with you in about an hour?” She asked.

 

“Hai. Kensei stay with her and make sure no more of these things attack.” Shinji said as the two other blondes followed him.

 

“Hai.” Kensei said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

 

“I am healed.” She said sheepishly.

 

“How?” He asked curiously.

 

“I am half uppyr. I can take in blood and it has healing properties.” She said allowing Konkisaiga to recede back into her yoki.

 

“I thought vampires were myths.” He said kicking the sand with his combat boot.

 

“Well vampires hai. Uppyr are very different from the myths. We are not dead for one. You need not stay.” Asuna said as she watched him.

 

“No, I'm sticking around. Get dressed.” He said walking towards her house.

 

She moved forward as well and she entered from the patio. She walked into the house and went to her room. She went to her closet and pulled out some jeans and she heard him pacing.

 

“Truly you did not need to stay.” She called out.

 

“I know you said you're fine but let me act like a man and be honorable okay?” he called back.

 

“Hai okay.” She said amused.

 

“You know you're great with a katana.” He said as she was putting on her bra.

 

“Thank you. You are awesome with one as well.” She said going through her shirts.

 

He had peeked just a little and was rewarded by catching a quick glimpse of her lace covered breasts. Kensei turned his back and waited patiently. She came out in dark wash jeans and a black long sleeved wrap top. He nodded curtly and he went to leave and she raised a brow.

 

“Did you finish the sake I gave you?” She asked.

 

“Hai. I shared it with the others.” He grunted.

 

“Fine.” She murmured as she went to the sideboard and opened the cabinet underneath it.

 

She pulled out a new bottle and she proceeded to pour two shots. She handed him one and she downed hers.

 

“Good stuff.” He muttered.

 

“Hai. My grandsire imported this sake from Taiwan. We kept the palace cellars stocked with it.” She smiled.

 

“Nice.” He said accepting another shot.

 

She noticed his piercing in his left ear and she found it made him more enticing. She nodded her head and she went to put on some boots.

 

“We're hedging.” He said standing in her doorway.

 

“I noticed.” She said looking up.

 

“Yeah well it's been a long damn time since I've trusted anyone other then the others.” He stated.

 

“I am not out to hurt you or your comrades. I know my understanding with Aizen is unsettling but I was the commander of my sire's army in the Sengoku Jidai. I know war.” She said staring up at him.

 

“Tell me how you're going to betray him.” He said with a hardened look.

 

“He knows I hold no loyalty to Los Noches. Now I have two pups that were turned into Shouten.” She said lacing her boots.

 

“You're an awesome fighter but you've allowed enemies to convolute your judgments. You act cautiously because you've allowed your family to engage the enemy.” He stated meeting her eyes.

 

“You are right Mister Muguruma but things are not always cut and dry.' She stated.

 

“They've got to be. You've got to pull your family in. Make those make a choice and move decisively.” He stated with a glint in his eyes.

 

“You speak as an experienced leader. I know your words hold wisdom but let me ask you; have you ever been a father?” She asked softly.

 

“No, I haven't. I was captain of Squad Nine and that was my life. Now I fill my days with thoughts of revenge.” He stated bluntly.

 

She stood and she wrapped a warm hand around his neck and she pulled him forward. Their foreheads touched and he seemed a little affected.

 

“This is why it is difficult. Lines are blurred simply because the hatred has not spread in my family. My pups are more open and I have learned to be that way. Sometimes powerful pulls cannot be denied and it is hell on one's heart to deny it. Kamis you smell divine.” She said breathing hard.

 

“Yeah you do too. Come on, let's go meet with the others.” He said softly.

 

“Hai.” She nodded releasing him.

 

He kept a cool head and he acknowledged the attraction. She had not met a shinigami like him and she was leery of her responses to him. They went to the warehouse and they discussed in detail about the idea of turning two youkai into vizards. Kisuke was there and he was very calm as they all talked. Kensei and Asuna's eyes kept meeting but they would look away often. She resolved to try and stay away from the gorgeous vizard and deal with her own problems.
