Past Skies and Future Sunsets

She was sitting in some bleachers watching Ken'ichi and Nori play soccer. She was amused that Mizuki had put together leagues for youkai children and there were even schools now. She realized that her daughter and other like minded youkai were living alongside ningen but still separate in a way. Her sire was a purist and would not sink so low to partake of things he considered lowly but she lover her father for his old ways. She was clapping as Ken'ichi scored a goal. Yuudai cheered louder and she smirked at his back. The goalie of the opposite team got mad and punched her nearly full inu son. Ken'ichi got furious and went to hit the uma youkai back but Nori beat him to it.

“Yuudai! Go get them.” She snapped.

“Hai Chuusin but boys will be boys.” He chuckled as he stood up.

“Our boys will tear up a poor uma.” She said shaking her head.

He laughed as he jumped down to break up the fight. Nori was starting to act more Naraku and that was a frightening thought. The older pups still had a time being older then their elder born brothers; especially Yuzuna. She was clapping beside her mother and she yipped to Ken'ichi.

“Daughter!” Asuna growled.

“What?” She asked innocently.

“Do not encourage him!” Her mother snapped.

“Hai Haha. You look good by the way. Are you going back to Yamasaki General to feed the triplets?” Yuzuna asked.

“Hai. They will go home next week. How is Jyuushiro?” She asked.

“In an attack. I told him what I did. I could not keep it from him.” Yuzuna said sighing.

“What did he say?” Asuna asked surprised.

“He said that this world is different then Soul Society. He said he wished to leave it at that.” She said hanging her head.

“Did you mate Adrastus?” She asked bluntly.

“Not fully. He says it is hell when I go to Soul Society. He told me he knows every time I go.” She said looking down.

“Yuzuna do not let others dictate your life. I learned that long ago. I love you.” She said kissing her daughter's crest.

“I love you too Haha. They both bring happiness in such different ways. Adrastus is youkai and Kamis.” She said looking away.

“I understand.” Asuna said nodding.

Her inu daughter dropped it and she ported to Karakura Town. She was putting some things in order and she felt like a cow. She had been stocking her freezer with her milk and Mizuki had stated that one day she would give youkai onna a choice just like the ningen onna. Asuna had laughed and went about making sure her little angels were taken care of. Her dreams as of late had been filled with so many different things. She went to the hospital and fed the babes and she ported back to the warehouse. She stepped down into the training area and she saw Kensei on a rock reading what appeared to be old books. He looked down at her and he nodded.

“Are you busy?” She asked.

“No, what's up?” He asked in a gruff way.

“I am preparing to go. Shinji is not here so I tell you.” Asuna stated.

“You think that's a good idea just yet?” Kensei asked bluntly.

“I do not know Mister Muguruma but I know my cousin suffered badly.” She said looking at his eyes.

He jumped down and he stood a little taller then her. He glared at her and never broke his gaze.

“Kensei.” He snapped.

“As you wish. I hope you will call me Asuna.” She replied.

“Hai.” He nodded.

She was having a hard time thinking and they stood there staring or rather glaring at the other. She did not want to back away but then she knew this man was honorable above anything.

“I have tarried long enough. Take care.” She said bowing.

“You're not well enough to go back.” He said in a low tone.

“I am healed.” She said.

“Don't be stupid. You're going to come back cut up and bleeding.” Kensei said clenching his hands.

“Whatever this is then I am grateful you even think on it but I am a five centuries old Kensei.” She said back stepping.

She ported to the warehouse and she went to her beach house. She was packing a few things that would make life a little more bearable in the past and she realized how accustomed she had become to this era. She heard pounding on the glass on her patio and she went to answer it. She slid it open and Kensei stood there.

“I trust you now. Don't be stupid!” He snapped.

“You honor me but family is everything.” She said softly.

“You just gave birth. You bled on me because you were attacked. When does it stop?” He asked.

“I do not stop Kensei. I cannot stop until this atrocity does not happen. I know you understand.” She said gripping her sofa.

“Hai I understand only too well. Onna listen to me! I'm not without experience.” He said gripping her shoulders.

One of her dreams flashed in her mind and she had to tear her gaze from him.

“Kensei, I go into Hueco Mundo first.” She said trying to break his grip.

“Your kids right?” He demanded.

“Hai. Their names are Iyo and Kenji. They are twins.” She replied.

“Don't go yet.” He said forcefully.

“Why?” She asked in a small voice.

“Because. You asked me to trust you. Trust me now.” He said releasing her.

He neared her till their noses almost touched and their lips as well. She could feel his warm breath and it made her completely dizzy.

“What were you like when you were young?” He asked not moving.

“Impetuous and arrogant.” She stated in a breathy tone.

“That'll get you killed. Weren't you dead once already?” He asked.

“Hai. Were you not dead as well?” She replied.

“Yeah well that was like forever ago. Time isn't the same in Soul Society.” He whispered.

“Why are you torturing me?” She asked gritting her teeth.

“Seeing if I can control myself.” He replied honestly.

She tried to kiss him and he pulled back just a little. She grew irritated and snapped her fangs.

“No. Let's not ruin our trust thing okay?” Kensei muttered.

“I am youkai. I am full of animal like instincts and you are inflaming my inner nature.” She growled.

“I don't get crippled with emotion. I've been reading some myths but they aren't myth are they?” He asked heavily.

“No, they are not myths. Youkai made sure to blend in and disappear. Our histories are myths now and that is how we want it.” She replied.

“You're a great warrior but you've got the heart of an onna. You act like an onna. I can't allow feeling to enter in, understand?” Kensei murmured still centimeters from her lips.

“So you test yourself and me by torturing us? Very good Kensei but I imagine if my beast is unleashed then I could overpower you.” She stated harshly.

“Not testing myself. Trying not to give in.” He said flatly.

“Back away then Kensei because I am loosing all will.” She retorted bluntly.

“Too long. I hate this life.” He growled.

She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. His return kiss was hungry and he pulled her into his arms. She whimpered loudly as he tried to pull away. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and he groaned. She was growling softly and he finally jerked himself away.

“Got to go.” He said clenching his teeth.

“When I was young; I took Sapporo back for the inu. The Byakko tigers had settled there and their crowned prince was my enemy. He tried to hold himself back and I did at first but we fell in love. I gave him three cubs; Zihao, Wen, and Wenling. He died with me in the Boxer Rebellion. My point in telling you this is that pushing aside feeling will only make it worse.” She said then closed her eyes a moment.

“What did you two finally do?” He demanded.

“Hedged as you put it for months. Kamis I was ready to rape him when we finally did consummate. I married him according to tiger tradition.” She admitted.

“I'm not a casual man.” He stated.

She said nothing and looked away.

“I have my reasons the way I am. I am not a casual onna but I understand your hesitation. I think you are right and perhaps we should just remain comrades.” She said calmly.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“Hai. I have to go to Hueco Mundo.” She said stepping past him into her bedroom.

He leaned in her doorway and he saw her reach into her jewelry box and pull out a medallion. She slipped it into her pocket and she tried to pass him. He was being sexist he realized but he could not help it. He really liked this onna and that was different for him. She reached up and fingered along his pierced brow and his left ear.

“Very attractive.” She said softly.

“Thanks.” He said staring at her hard.

“I can take care of myself. I am very good at fighting Muguruma Kensei. I know not how old you are but I was born in the sixteenth century. I am old you know.” She teased.

“That's barely over a century in Soul Society.” He said just staring.

“I do not understand that but I shall take your word for it. I must go.” She said gritting her teeth.

“Onna stay a little longer. Train with us a little more. Know exactly what you're running into!” He said gripping her shoulders tightly.

The look on his face and his intenseness was getting to her and she sighed. She nodded and she found it odd that she only caught snippets from his mind. He allowed her to pass and she went straight to her sake. Why she was so damn fascinated with him she did not understand. She proceeded to pour him some and herself a shot as well. He took it without thought and she downed it and he did the same. She poured him more and he had a glint in his eyes. She watched him carefully and she downed hers as he downed his. She recognized a challenge and she took out more shot glasses. She laid them out and filled them up. She took one and so did he. They began to down them one by one. He was a soldier and he had pride. She was getting a little dizzy but she refused to be out drunk by a ningen shinigami. Within a few minutes the bottle was gone.

“Had enough yet?” He asked gruffly.

“No and you?” She asked.

“Bring it.” He said actually smirking just a little.

She broke out another bottle but she would be way inebriated very soon. This was not responsible but she had plenty of milk for the babes. They finished up the second bottle quickly and he was still standing. She was not obviously drunk but her world was spinning. She opened the third bottle and they continued their game. By the time the third was gone she actually stumbled over to her couch. He was pretty drunk as well but he tried to appear just fine. He moved surprisingly well and neared her. He crossed his arms and he looked down at her.

“Lightweight.” He muttered.

“Hai. One and a half bottles is a lightweight. You are drunk too.” She said with a rakish grin.

“Maybe. I need to sleep this off.” He said running his hand through his short silver hair.

“There's a bed right there.” She grinned.

“Yeah so?” He bristled.

“So serious Kensei.” She laughed.

“Your one of those silly drunks.” He sighed.

“I guess.” She said giggling.

“Oh shit.” He said picking her up.

He was surprised to see and hear the fearsome youkai onna warrior giggling like a little girl. He laid her on her bed and she tittered more.

“Who won?” She asked giggling.

“I did. You're acting like a wimp.” He said glaring down at her.

“Oh I am? I am not the one who cannot finish a kiss.” She said sitting up.

“You want me to finish?” He asked scowling.

“Hai.” She said poking him in the chest.

He leaned in and jerked her forward. He grazed his lips against hers and she growled softly.

“There.” He stated and jerked away.

“Nuh uh.” She snapped and pulled him onto her.

He could smell the sweet sake and a softer, more feminine scent. He tried to place the smell and he allowed himself to feel her very feminine form. He ran a hand up her rounded hip and it was wonderful to touch. He hated what he was. He hated what he had turned into and this was intoxicating him more then the alcohol.

“What's the smell?” He demanded in a husky tone.

“Gardenia.” She said closing her eyes.

“Good scent.” He said in a heavy tone.

Kensei had been a hard ass captain but he knew his squad had respected him. He also knew that most of his seated officers had died the day he had been turned. Anger ripped through him at his thoughts and he was distantly aware that her lips were teasing his. He became aware of her tongue and he heard himself groan. The idea of feeling her so intimately made him shrink back and he breathed out.

“Onna, I'm gone.” He said getting up.

She sighed and nodded. She made a motion for him to go and it pissed him off. He jerked her up and he gripped her taut ass in his hands and Kamis he wanted to let himself go. He wanted to take what she obviously was giving. He knew his body was responding.

“I don't do this when an onna is drunk. I don't do this when I'm drunk.” He said in a steely voice.

“The way you are going this will not happen ever.” She said in a temper.

“You think I don't want this?” He snarled in her ear.

“I think you are so wrapped up in your justified anger that you shut out your feelings. I also think you are used to control.” She murmured.

She could feel just how affected he was and his grip on her backside was powerful.

“I told you I'm not a casual man. See you in a few hours.” He said releasing her.

“Hai.” She whispered in utter frustration.

She stripped from her shirt and she intended to take a shower. He turned to say something and she was undressing.

“Onna cover up!” He snapped.

“What for? You were leaving.” Asuna slurred.

He stared and his mouth was dry. He got himself pulled together and he bowed hurriedly. He left through her patio door and he shunpoed back to the warehouse. He was dizzy as hell and he intended to beat up Shinji. Fighting always made him feel better.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She wore a white fitted tee shirt with her grey shorts. She was going to wipe his ass all over the place. For some reason Shinji thought it necessary to teach her how to fight against a Vizard. She assumed that it was the same as a shinigami or hollow. She had only fought Kensei the one time on the beach and she was itching to fight him again. She had made a quick trip into Hueco Mundo and she had sent a message to Ggio Vega. She hoped the young Arrancar could get his backside into the living world soon. She came down into the training area and she acknowledged the other vizards. She nodded to Love and Rose whose thoughts were downright raunchy. She walked up to Kensei and jerked her head.

“Time I beat your ass.” She said in anger.

“Really?” He asked narrowing his eyes.

“Hai. No holding back. Another wager.” She said coldly.

“What's the wager?” He demanded.

“I win and you follow through. You win and I will never think another inappropriate thought.” She said in a low growl.

“No.” He snapped.

“Coward!” She growled loudly.

“I'm not a coward. I'm also not stupid.” He said near her ear.

“What is that supposed to mean?” She asked in irritation.

“Means I'll kick yours.” He said walking away.

She narrowed her eyes and Asuna lifted her hand a little and he was thrown forward. He caught himself and he turned to stare at her.

“You really want to fight? Fine! I win and you stay the fuck away from me.” He snapped.

Shinji came down and he saw the inu onna and Kensei glaring at each other with what appeared anger but Shinji knew different.

“Fine as you wish.” She said bowing.

She moved suddenly and released a nami. He was slammed against a rock and the other vizards leaned forward. Kensei looked outraged and he pulled his zanpakuto from a pocket in his cargo pants. She had to block unseen wind blades and she stared at him utterly shocked. She held out her hand and her fang appeared. She whirled and released her yoki straight at him and he released a massive energy blast that met the yoki. It should have exploded but it melded and released shock waves out. Kensei was thrown backwards as well as Asuna. They both hit rock faces and Shinji leaned forward.

“What the hell was that?” Lisa said from beside him.

“No idea. That was a massive amount of power.” The blonde man remarked.

Kensei shook his head and she was picking herself up too. He used shunpo and appeared in front of her. His zanpakuto hit her fang and the metal seemed magnetically attracted.

“What are you doing?” She demanded in supreme annoyance.

“It's not me!” He snarled at her.

“Coward!” She snapped as she shoved him backwards.

He skidded across the rocky ground and she came at him again. She began hacking at him and he had to block heavily. He sliced into her but not deeply. He released another blast that she managed to cut right through it but her blade absorbed some of the energy. She was shocked and threw her fang from her. She wanted to win and not hurt him. She began throwing low acidity Dakkasou blades. He pocketed his zanpakuto and he avoided most of her blades. Suddenly they were fighting hand to hand. She blocked his blows but they were designed to not inflict much damage.

“It is honorable that you would not hit the supposed weaker sex but there is nothing weak about me vizard! Play to win because I am!” She snapped.

She whirled around and punched him squarely in the jaw. He staggered for a moment and she forward hand springed and wrapped her legs around his neck. She moved and threw him to the ground. He got up quickly and stared at her.

“Where'd you learn to fight?” Kensei demanded.

“My sire had me in a dojo since I was five summers.” She replied.

“You were a kid!” He yelled.

“I was also his heir! I was the first female in inu history to be named heir. I had to be strong.” She replied.

He side stepped and struck her chest and she ended up back flipping. She was winded and she looked up at him. She suddenly used her foot to try and fell him. He grabbed her leg and she grabbed his arms. They ended up in a roll and they were straining to try and catch a break.

“You're strong as hell!” She snapped.

“Yeah well you aren't weak.” He snapped back.

“Give it up Kensei!” She snarled.

“NO!” He growled at her.

She surged her strength and threw him. She tried to hold him down with her mind and she was flattened herself. She stared at him in total shock as he had deflected her yoki. She rolled and she grabbed his arm and tried to drag him forward. It was unbelievable to her that it was coming to a stalemate. Half her attacks were being nullified and she willed her fang into her hand. She used the hilt to knock him in the gut with all her might. He fell backwards and she jumped on him. She pressed her weight down on his hips to pin him. She heard clapping from the other vizards and they were both trying to catch their breath. She was at a loss at how he was nullifying her attacks.

“I want you.” She said in a low growl.

“Get off of me.” He snapped.

She stood up and she stalked off. She walked past Shinji and she looked up at him.

“I am leaving in the morning. I know not when I will be back. I am hoping I can see the Arrancar but it is not looking likely.” She said as her chest heaved.

“I understand. I have no idea what just happened here.” He said.

“Not sure either.” She said and she ported away.

She went into her bathroom and stripped out of her dusty and slightly bloody clothes. She stripped naked and turned on her shower. She stepped into the hot water and it soothed her sore muscles and wounded pride. She began washing her hair and her brain was strained trying to understand why her yoki had gone wonky. She was so caught up in her own mind that she was shocked when she felt one hand on her hip and another on her shoulder. She gasped and she looked back. Kensei was there and she was suddenly against the wall of the shower. It was barely registering that he was naked as well and his mouth was making her crazed. This former shinigami was making her completely weak as he absolutely ravaged her. It was passionate and powerful and he lifted her up. She felt his chiseled warrior body against hers and she was disoriented and she cried out when he worked into her. She felt his reiastu as soon as he touched her but it was more profound.

“Kensei.” She groaned as the hot water pounded on his back.

“Once! This once onna.” He managed.

Kensei felt her energies and it was as when they were fighting. They did not clash but melded. It did not show but he was overwhelmed and overcome. His mind could not grasp the pleasure he was feeling. He knew it was the same for her. She was mindless in her cries as he pushed and pulled back. She scored his back unintentionally and he found the way her face contorted and scrunched to be the sexiest thing he had ever seen. Her long legs were wrapped around his lean hips and she was experiencing bliss in the purest form.

“Say it again.” He rasped in her ear.

“Kensei.” She whined.

He felt their energies doing something and her responses were becoming wilder. She was arching her neck and he had caught sight of ruby colored eyes. Kensei shifted his hips so that her clit was being rubbed. Her eyes shut tightly as she was awash in one too many sensations. Quivering took hold in her lower belly and her legs began to tremble violently. Her core began spasms and he gasped hard as their powers seemed to slam into them, it was a physical thing. She sagged and his climax was the most intense of his life. She was out and he turned off the water. He ended up having to carry her to her bed. He laid her down and he had no idea what happened around this onna. He intended this to be a one time deal and move on. He grudgingly lay next to her and he fell into a very light sleep. She woke up after about an hour and she saw Kensei resting next to her. His tattoo was prominent right below his pectoral muscles.

“Kensei?” She asked softly.

His golden brown eyes opened and he looked over at her. He nodded and he rolled to his side and got up.

“Say something!” She cried softly.

“I keep my word. You barely won but you won. Now we move on.” He said curtly.

She was in disbelief and he went to his clothes. He dressed and she was practically drooling over him.

“I can't get close to you.” He said stiffly.

“You mean you will not.” She said softly.

“You're right. I won't. When're you coming back?” He asked.

“I do not know. I know that I need to see Grimmjow and Daichi.” She sighed.

“Those are the youkai?” He asked as he pulled on his boots.

“Hai.” She watched him as he stood to his full height.

“See you around Asuna.” He muttered.

“Hai. Kensei, what did you feel?” She asked as he stood in her door.

“I felt like myself in the arms of a beautiful onna. I felt the most acute closeness I've ever felt. That's what I felt and I can't have it. I'm not who I was.” He said leaving.

She watched as he left and she felt such utter contempt at Aizen she felt like going to Los Noches and beating in his arrogant, evil face.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was morose and she was confused as she put things in place at her Sapporo home. Changming was in Portugal packing up his home and his massive library. She felt listless and she missed those she cherished most. The babes were home in Sendai and she was supposed to be in the past but things here were keeping her busy with her family. She was worried sick but life did not stop. She continued to unpack Chang's things and she heard whistling.

“I am in here Juria.” She called.

“Hello my dear. You asked me to come here.” Juria said walking in.

“Hai. I have a blunt question. What do you know about former captain of Squad Nine?” She asked.

“Muguruma Kensei?” She asked.

“Hai.” Asuna nodded.

“Highly honorable. Spartan like in his command and he was beloved by his squad. Most of his seated officers died the day he was turned into a hollow.” She replied.

“What happened to the shinigami that were hollowfied?” Asuna asked.

“You already know that. Urahara helped them escape their sentence.” She said.

“How was it their fault that they were turned into hollows?” The inu princess asked.

“You are asking me to explain Soul Society's rules? I take great joy in breaking those rules. If those people were not afraid of some of the things I could do then I would be Kaito right now.” She stated.

“I see. You are a freak of nature so to speak.” Asuna stated.

“Hai. What about Kensei?” She asked sitting.

“He and I have similar energies. His zanpakuto is a wind type and my own yoki is the same.” She said staring at her

“Hai. Your Supaida Nami gathers energy from the air itself.” She nodded.

“When we spar it acts weird.” She said frowning.

“I am gathering that you and Kensei could make a very devastating team Asuna. He was a hellaciously powerful captain then and he is a horrendously powerful vizard. Imagine what you and he could accomplish if your attacks were combined.” She shrugged.

“Strong enough to take down Raganos himself.” Asuna stated sitting.

“Hai. It seems almost as if you could be an extension of his zanpakuto and vice versa.” Juria stated.

“I am going to have to exploit this. I need to learn how to channel him and the same for him.” She murmured.

“Mate him.” She said flatly.

“Mate him? Juria that is insane.” She said shaking her head.

“He wants revenge on Aizen and you wish to stop the wyvern and Shouten. I think it is perfect.” She said grinning.

“Oh Kamis.” She growled.

“Why not? It does not hurt that he is hot as hell.” Juria said licking her lips.

“You horny bitch!” Asuna laughed.

“Hai! You think I do not get any?” Her former mother laughed.

“I think you are a horny bitch.” Asuna laughed harder.

“Well I am a healthy onna. Besides you cannot have all the fun.” She smirked.

“What do I do about him? He is insistent that he and I can be nothing and I am going nuts wanting to know him better. It does not help that I really cannot hear him.” She said cupping her chin.

“You cannot hear his thoughts?” Juria asked surprised.

“Not really. I hear random thoughts.” She said stretching.

“Interesting indeed.” Her tengu said.

“Tell me what to do.” She said.

“Well I am not having any particular feelings yet. I am not seeing anything in particular.” She murmured.

“Okay. I have to see him.” She said standing.

“Asuna, he is intense my dear. I mean he is more intense then Ichigo.” She warned.

“What does that mean?” She asked dumbly.

“It means Muguruma Kensei is a force to be reckoned with.” She said meeting her eyes.

“I understand.” She said as she ported away.

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

She was again in the warehouse and went to the training grounds. She looked around and she saw Rose wink at her. She smirked at him and waved. She found Kensei fighting Hiyori and he stopped when he saw her. She was wearing a fitted black jersey dress that was long sleeved and had no back. The skirt came mid thigh and Kensei stared at her. She was wearing high heeled boots that came to her knees.

“Onna what're you wearing?” He asked with a very dry mouth.

“I am expected in Tokyo this evening. I saved time and dressed early. May we speak?” She asked.

“Hai.” He said pocketing his zanpakuto.

“Dumbass.” Hiyori snorted.

Asuna smiled at the youthful looking female and Kensei followed her. Her whole back was exposed and he shoved down his lust. He followed her up to the warehouse and she turned. Her hair was up and she was stunning.

“I was curious as to your thoughts on your spiritual powers and my yoki. I can barely hear your thoughts.” She admitted.

“You mean you normally hear everyone?” He asked surprised.

“Hai. Unless they know how to shield then hai I hear them.” She said.

“I don't know what to think. It's the weirdest damn thing.” He shrugged.

“Kensei, I admit that I am fascinated by you and Kamis know I want to know you more.” She said palming his cheek.

“Onna, don't do this. Don't make this difficult.” He said flatly.

“I have asked all about you. My tengu is a Shihoin and she told me what a good man you are.” Asuna said cupping his other cheek.

“I won't do this.” He said setting his mouth in a hard line.

She leaned forward and she caught his lips. His lips parted a little and they felt the same energies again. It was barely more then a pressing of flesh but she was exploring his mouth suddenly. He pulled her forward and he dominated. She was whimpering softly and he pressed her back against the wall. He slowly sucked on her bottom lip and he pressed his forehead to hers.

“No more. No more of this. You won the bet and I paid up.” He snapped.

“For some reason our powers merge Kensei. We can channel the other.” She said tracing his lower lip.

“Why're you doing this?” He demanded.

“Because I am a damn selfish bitch! When I want something, I go for it.” She growled.

“You wouldn't have lasted two seconds in my squad.” He said glaring.

“Why do you think my father placed me at the head of his army?” She demanded.

“I told you I won't do this. You're a stunning onna.” He stated in a blunt way.

“I do not understand.” She snapped.

“What's there to understand? My mind is only on one thing. You'd be the biggest damn distraction.” He said gripping her shoulders.

“I want to learn to channel you shinigami. This is driving me mad!” She growled loudly.

“What do you want from me?” He yelled.

“I want to know why this connection! This makes no sense! You were ningen once.” She said throwing up her hands.

“I don't remember. Look let it go.” He said narrowing his eyes.

“I will not! Kensei damn it.” She said in annoyance.

He backed away from her and she grabbed his shoulders tightly. She pressed her lips to the back of his neck and he stopped short. She was feverishly nipping and very lightly biting his shoulder and juncture. He lowered his head and it felt so damn good.

“Not here.” He growled out.

“Tell me where.” She said in his ear.

“Private.” He said closing his eyes as her hands found their way under his shirt.

“Tokyo.” She said heavily.

“Hai.” He nodded.

She held onto him and ported with him. They appeared in her penthouse and he turned around. He did not seem one bit bothered by the teleporting and his hands pulled the dress from her shoulders and he worked it down. She wore no bra and the lust ripped through him. She was daring in all things and it was just too erotic the way she looked.

“Beautiful onna.” He muttered.

He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.

“You're gonna make me crazy about you.” He said as he undid her hair.

Kensei laid her on the edge of the bed. He undid her boots and slipped them from her and he removed the dress. He pulled her panties down and he was suppressing his raging desire. He mentally chastised himself for giving in so easily and pulled his shirt off and she watched him. Her eyes were full of passion as he stripped out of his remaining clothes. He was not shy whatsoever and she found his confidence alluring. He leaned against her body and he stared down at her.

“What do you want from me?” He asked shortly.

“I want to know you.” She said in a very soft tone.

“I'm pretty simple.” He said as he ran his fingers along her body.

He watched her eyes shut for a moment and he noticed how much she just enjoyed touch. He found himself wanting to just touch her for the moment. He drew his leg along her smooth one and he ran his lips along her neck.

“You are going to tease me.” She groaned.

“I don't play games. I told you I wasn't casual.” He said gruffly.

“Tell me what you want besides Aizen dead.” She murmured running a hand up his back.

“I don't know.” He said sighing.

“Would you allow me to do something?” Asuna asked barely above a whisper.

“Hai.” He stated watching her.

She took his hand and slowly kissed his fingers and his palm. This simple touch seemed to make him that much more aroused and she ran her tongue along the veins in his wrist. He watched her closely and she slowly sank her fangs in. His golden brown eyes shut and he was hit by all manner of amazing sensations. He grunted softly and she watched him closely.

“Youkai are so different.” He said in a deep tone.

She released his wrist and looked at him.

“Is it bad?” She asked.

“No. Just different.” He said breathing intensely.

“May I ask a question?” She asked him.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“Do you want this?” She asked running a finger along his pierced brow.

“Hai.” Kensei murmured.

She pressed her lips to his and he lifted his hand up to her head and tilted it a little. She suddenly growled as he again took control of the intimacy. He explored her boldly and it was making her crazy. She groaned as he pulled back and watched her. His hand slid up from her center and she winced from pleasure. He ran the fingers up her lower belly to her chest. He cupped her breast and it was pliant in his hand. It was firm and he groaned suddenly. He lowered his mouth and tasted the nipple lightly. He wrapped his lips around it and began tonguing it and pulling it gently with his teeth. She gasped harshly as he was gentle and wild at the same time. She mewled under him and he lightly nipped the fleshy part of her breast and she looked up at the ceiling. His light aggressiveness was wanton and she knew this was his way.

His mind was primitive and she was so responsive. He wanted this. He wanted this onna crying out his name again. His fingers slipped inside of her and slid them slowly until her hit the one spot. He hovered his lips over hers and she was gasping hard as he worked her.

“Kensei?” She groaned out.

“Hai.” He murmured.

“Feel it. I feel your reiastu.” She groaned louder.

“I feel your yoki. Say my name.” He whispered heavily.

“Kensei.” She whined.

Her body was reacting to his sheer raw energy and his manipulation of her core. She whined out as her body yielded to the pulse of energies and ecstasy. He loved how her body bowed and how she called his name. Her muscles clenched his fingers tightly and he began kissing her deeply again. She shook against him and he slipped his fingers back. She grabbed his hand and brought it to her lips. Her eyes were completely red as she licked his fingers rather suggestively. He was rapt watching her and he lay on his side to watch her. They stared at the other and she was running fingers along his jaw and down his neck. Her claws lightly dragged down his chest to his tattoo.

“Beautiful man.” She murmured.

“Beautiful onna.” He retorted.

He put a hand on her leg and pulled it over his side. Kensei rested his hand on her hip and he slid in easily. He shook hard at her warmth and she enveloped him. She reached out and held his shoulder and he began guiding her. He had wanted to see her face as he melded with her. His eyes never closed and he had to concentrate hard over the combustion of the combined reiastu and yoki. He did not want to care and he did not want to feel more then attraction. He groaned deeply as the damn energies were pressing in on them both. He leaned forward and delved his tongue into her sweet mouth. He rolled her under him and kept moving with urgency. She was gasping harder to try to breathe deeply and he felt her claws digging in. He groaned out more as his inner hollow was trying to break out.

“Onna stop!” He snapped.

“Wh-what?” She asked in a confused haze.

“Hollow!” He growled out.

“Youkai Kensei. Can handle it.” She groaned out.

“No! Not that monster!” He growled out in fury.

“Hai.” She said in a softer gasp.

She wrapped her jaws around his juncture and bit down a little.

“Oh hell!” He snapped out in a passionate growl.

Incredible rushes of unimaginable pleasure erupted in his brain and his body. Their energies slammed into him like it had the last time. He yelled out as they fell into bliss together. He was encased in the fluidity and beauty. He fell against her and held onto her tightly as his body finished its magnificent finish. She was gulping in air and she had torn into her mattress. He was tired and he felt so good at the moment. His inner monster had crept back into place and he mentally locked it down. He stayed within her and the feel of being one was addicting.

“Your dinner or something?” He asked in a voice heavy in post coital lethargy.

“I will get ready in a little while.” She said softly.

“Or you could stay here.” He grumbled.

“Hai or I could stay here.” Asuna smiled.

“Damn you feel incredible.” He moaned.

“Hai you too.” She said meeting his eyes.

He fell back and immediately gathered her against him. She was surprised that such a manly male would want to hold on after. His legs were tangled in hers and he had no intentions of moving for the moment.

“Sleep.” He said in a low whisper.

“Hai.” Was her reply as her eyes became heavy.

She heard his even breathing and she fell asleep too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He woke up and he looked at the clock. It was the middle of the night and she was sleeping. He suppressed his feelings and he stood up and she rolled over.

“Are you alright Kensei?” She mumbled.

“Hai. Come on.” He said pulling her up.

“What?” She asked.

“Shower.” He said picking her and throwing her over his shoulder.

“I want to sleep.” She groaned.

“Quit whining. We're taking a shower.” He stated.

She was growling and he adored her. He absolutely adored her temper. He slapped her backside and she yelped. He turned on the water and he doused them both with the hot water.

“Bastard.” She groaned.

“Feels good doesn't it?” He demanded of her.

“Hai.” She said glaring at him.

“Watch it onna you're turning me on.” He said cracking a ghost of a smile.

He soaped up the sponge and washed them both. He ended up washing her hair and they were wrapped up in each other by the end.

“What're you doing to me?” He asked as they fell back onto her couch.

“No idea. What have you done to me?” She asked amused.

“I guess I don't care. I gotta get back.” He said laying his head on her chest.

“Shall I put clothes on and port you?” She asked.

“Yeah.” He grunted.

She smiled at his manner and he allowed her up. She dressed in a pair of jeans and a white fitted tee shirt. He pulled on his clothes and he looked over at her.

“Who're gonna have dinner with?” He asked.

“Government officials.” She replied.

“Oh hell! We did that and you were supposed to have dinner with mortal officials?” He asked surprised.

“Hai but you were a much nicer view Kensei.” She grinned.

“Idiot.” He groused.

“It was much nicer being in your arms versus listening to a bunch of ningen drone on and on about ridiculous stuff.” She replied.

He neared her and held her face.

“No! You won't shove aside more important crap for sex!” He growled at her.

“I will do what I want. I wanted you Kensei.” She said crossing her arms.

“We're going end up hurting the other. Stop the shit now! Take me back.” He demanded.

He was slamming up walls again and she was at a loss as to why. She sighed and ported them back to a secluded part of the warehouse. He stormed away from her and she was totally confused once again. She followed after him and she grabbed his arm. He whirled around and she was shocked to see his face. It reminded her off something but she could not place it.

“Kensei? Talk to me!” She cried softly.

“You've got no clue of my life. You've got anecdotes of who I used to be. I'm a damn vizard okay?” He growled.

“Ichigo is a vizard! So?” She asked confused.

“So it's true. You and the boy are together?” He asked growling at her.

“How can someone be together when I have not seen him in months? I was involved for awhile hai.” She shrugged.

“I'm not competing with a kid.” He said jerking back.

“Kensei stop please.” She hissed.

“How many times I've got to tell you that I'm not casual? Sex is not impersonal for me!” He growled at her.

“I'm not treating it as such. You are the one who is running away.” She said glaring at him.

“No Kurosaki kid. I won't share you with another vizard.” He snapped.

“Share me?” She asked shocked.

“Hai. I know about you onna. There's a reason for you that I don't get but I'm not a damn toy for you. We fight side by side fine but I'll be the only vizard bedding you.” He said narrowing his eyes.

“Why are you trying to push me away?” She asked.

“Because one of us is going to get hurt.” He said sighing heavily.

“Or perhaps it can be wonderful.” She said under her breath.

“Perhaps you're living in lala land.” Kensei said crossing his arms.

“Perhaps we can truly mean something to one another and perhaps I can stand by you and help you defeat that son of whore!” She growled.

“It's our revenge.” He said sighing.

“Kamis damn it! You feel this too; that is why you are shoving me away. You know damn well that something else is going on here.” She said gritting her teeth.

“Hai maybe. I won't share you with the kid. If we're involved then here it us; got me?” He said flatly.

“Hai.” She said as he pulled her into his arms.

He held her jaw and he ended up making her near faint with his passionate and consuming kissing. They heard the other vizards snicker as he continued to madly kiss her silly. He finally let her go and he could not stop staring at her.

“Shit I swear I've known you forever.” He grumbled.

Shinji cleared his throat and they turned to look at him. He smirked lecherously and he grinned.

“Okay now that you've all decided to get cozy; what's the plans?” He asked.

“I need to talk to Jagaharu and Daichi.” She said staring at Kensei.

“I'm coming with you.” The former captain said.

“Why?” Asuna asked shocked.

“They need to know what a vizard is.” Kensei replied.

“Hai I suppose so.” She said doubtfully.

“Very good. I suggest old style clothes Kensei.” Shinji smirked.

“No really?” Kensei asked smarting off.

“Been forever since we wore a hakama huh?” The blonde asked.

“Hai.” He nodded.

Asuna sighed and she could imagine what kind of hell was waiting in the past. She took Kensei's hand and she ported to the Western Palace. He looked around and said nothing but he followed her. She went to her old chambers and opened the balcony door.

“I was born within these palace walls. These were chambers from the time I was eighty till my death.” She said going through her old things.

“Damn nice place.” He said staring at the splendor.

She pulled out some old hakama and handed him the dark grey silk. He took it from her and he set it down. He jerked her to him and held her jaw. He felt punched in his gut and he could not still his lips as he began to kiss and suckle her lips. Her jeans and his cargo pants were off in a flash and his arms were wrapped around her upper body. She was in his lap and it made him groan heavily. He was intent to hear his name on her lips and he would not stop till she spoke it. He was supremely annoyed at how their natural powers kept melding together and leaving him without breath. He swallowed her cries as she climaxed. She was an absolute delight in that she was so responsive. He was typical and arrogant enough to want his partner to reach their pleasure. It made the act perfect in his mind. He leaned her head back and it was sexy the way she moaned softly in her bliss.

"Ready to dress?" he asked.

"Hai." she nodded.

"So damn beautiful." he said as he held her face between his palms.

"How is it you are like this?" she asked running her hands through his short silver hair.

"Like what? Shocked I like passion?" he asked with a tiny smirk.

"Hai." she nodded.

"Nothing turns me on more then passion." he said letting her up.

Asuna watched him stretch and he truly was a gorgeous beast. He pulled on a black kosode and the dark grey hakama. He tied a black obi around him and let his zanpakuto return to its sealed state.

"I'll leave my boots on. Always hated tabi socks." he said.

She smiled at him as he was just chatting. She slipped on a pale green hanfu with pink accents. It was a battle hanfu and Kensei was staring at her. She bowed before him and he was stunned to see her. She nodded to him and she went to her things. She produced a crystal and she broke it. He saw the portal and he stepped through. She followed after him and they appeared in the Sengoku Jidai.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi was lying on her side facing the wall and just staring out. Ryukotsusei was beside her and holding onto her tightly. The neko prince was beside himself and he had done everything he could to try and calm Akemi down; Ryukotsusei's respect for the boy had gone up exponentially. She was unresponsive and he heard a noise. Asuna walked in followed by a strange silver haired man. Asuna knelt down and pulled her cousin into her arms.

“Akemi, look at me cousin. I will help avenge your sweet babe okay? I will make the wyvern pay.” She said in her ear.

“How?” She asked hoarsely.

“However we can. I will make him suffer for hurting you.” Asuna murmured.

“I want to rip his cock off and shove it down his throat!” She snarled.

Ryukotsusei and Kensei both looked a little uncomfortable at the mention of that kind of torture. Akemi looked at the silver haired man and frowned a little.

“Asuna, who is the stiff?” She asked.

Kensei looked at the tiny female and raised a brow at her words.

“This is Muguruma Kensei. He is a little like Ichigo.” She replied in inu.

“Hard headed and impulsive?” Akemi asked in Japanese.

Kensei looked at his companion and raised his brows.

“I am Lord Ryukotsusei and you are?” The dragon lord asked the vizard.

“Muguruma Kensei.” He replied curtly.

“Very good to meet you.” He bowed.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“Kensei? This is my first cousin Lady Akemi.” She said in introduction.

“My lady.” Kensei said bowing slightly.

“Are you a ningen shinigami?” She asked bluntly.

“Not anymore.” He growled.

“Okay you have some issues.” Akemi said allowing herself to stand.

Asuna suppressed a smile and Kensei glared at her. Akemi followed Ryukotsusei out of the chambers and they followed.

“You said she used to be mostly ningen?” He asked.

“Hai. She was nearly killed by an uppyr and my mother finished turning her. I transferred my blood to her recently and it has seemed to further change her.” She replied.

“She is something.” He said shaking his head.

She scented Daichi and she turned. He was staring at Kensei and she nodded.

“Who is this sister?” He asked softly.

“Prince Daichi this is Muguruma Kensei. Kensei this is Prince Daichi.” She said in introduction.

“Hello.” Daichi said bowing.

“This is the youkai? He's a boy.” Kensei said fuming at her.

“He is considered an adult Kensei.” She sighed.

“Lady Asuna, what is going on?” Daichi asked.

“You remember what you asked me Daichi? Remember what I told you that you were? This man is the opposite of an Arrancar. Arrancar are hollows who have undergone shinigamification and a vizard is a shinigami that had undergone hollowfication.” She said softly.

“Why would you undergo it if being a hollow is so awful?” Daichi asked.

“I didn't choose this numbskull! Did you ask for power kid?” He demanded.

“Hai I did.” Daichi said blushing.

“Well talk to the onna. I'm going to look around.” Kensei said leaving them where they stood.

“He used to be a shinigami captain in the Gotei Thirteen Daichi. The leader of the Espada in Hueco Mundo is a former shinigami who experimented on his fellow shinigami and hollowfied them. They stopped the transformations but they were sentenced to death in Soul Society. They escaped and they are a very small group and they are called Vizards. Kensei is very powerful Daichi. We are sure we can do this but it is painful and there is much training involved.” She said sighing.

“I will do whatever it takes.” He said flatly.

“I can take you back. I tried to find you in the future era but I could not.” She said confused.

“Perhaps I do not exist as the hollow anymore.” He said softly.

“Kamis you may be right!” She said stunned.

“When do we go?” He demanded.

“As soon as possible.” She said gently.

“Okay. I have got to tell Haru.” He said turning.

“I will have Akemi do it. He will not allow you to go Daichi. You know how protective of you he is.” She replied.

“You are right. Let us find your friend.” He said sighing.

“Hai. Where are Amedeo and Gabrielus?” She asked.

“They are on the beach. I swear they are lazy beasts.” He said smirking.

“They need the sun to get moving. Come my friend.” Asuna said as they walked.

She went to find Kensei and the others. She was apprehensive but she felt this was the best thing. She feared and she knew Haru would not agree to become a vizard but she would not allow him to die. She intended to save him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Daichi was in shock at everything and they were sitting in the Urahara shop. Asuna was sipping tea and Yoshiko was leaning against the doorway. Asuna noticed how her sister was watching the former Twelfth Squad captain. Kisuke was talking in general to get Daichi comfortable.

“We'll begin training tomorrow.” Kisuke good naturedly.

Daichi nodded and Asuna led him away. Kisuke looked back at the onna who had become as close to him as Yoruichi.

“How are you?” She asked softly.

“Pretty tired.” He smiled.

She nodded and she neared him. His breathing was just a little quicker and slipped her hands between his kosode and his chest.

“I know you have much to work on tomorrow but may I stay the night here?” She asked softly.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“May I kiss you Kisuke?” She asked smirking.

“Hai.” He nodded with a smirk.

She leaned in and caught his lips. He groaned just a little and began to kiss her back. He took his hat off and threw it from them. The second he touched her he always became silly. They were together often and more often then not they made love.

“You beautiful and sexy man.” She whispered as she lightly kissed along his jaw.

“My head's fixing to explode you know.” He teased.

“No! Other things must erupt first.” She teased back.

“Kamis onna. I'm such a mess around you.” He moaned.

“Promise?” She asked hopeful.

“Inu need to come with a warning label; exhaustion imminent.” He said smiling.

She began laughing and she fell against him.

“I didn't spike the tea this time.” He smiled.

“I had a little libation before I showed up. Kamis Kisuke you are so beautiful you know.” She said holding his face.

“Why did you drink?” He asked slowly undressing her.

“It was the anniversary of the battle.” She answered honestly.

“Yoshiko! Why didn't you tell me?” He asked.

“I wanted to see you.” She grinned.

“You're drunk. Onna you can talk about him to me.” He said holding her face.

“I don't want you to think I compare you and him.” She said in a soft voice.

“I'm not a Byakko.” He smiled holding her cheeks between his palms.

“Yet you thought I would only ever love him.” She said turning her head and kissed his hand.

“I can't think when you do that. You've such a wicked tongue.” He said shutting his eyes.

She sucked his thumb into her mouth and she watched him closely as she worked her tongue around his appendage.

“Damn.” The blonde shinigami grunted.

He suddenly picked her up and his mind had turned to feeling her. It had turned away from the fact that he was sure he knew where her tiger prince was. He had intentions of going into Soul Society secretly and seeing for himself. He started out making love to her against the wall and they stumbled to his futon. She was even more responsive then normal and it was a most amazing experience. His gut clenched but he knew he had to do the right thing. He left her sleeping and he leaned over and kissed her softly.

“Thought I felt a hollow, be back soon okay?” He mumbled in her ear.

“Hai. Not too long. I like how you smell.” She smiled sleepily.

He nodded and he used the gate to get into the most forbidden portion of Soul Society. He had never understood the separation but he figured it was superiority thing for the ancients. He slipped into the area with no issues since the gate was still open. He walked around the Soratokai and it really did mirror the Seireitei. He saw the various youkai going on about their business and he marveled at it. Nemu had been most helpful and had given him an area where the tiger was. He knocked on a marvelous residence reminiscent of a palace. Youkai were different in that they remembered their lives in the land of the living and most ningen did not. It was theorized that because of their longevity that they remembered. The door slid open and he saw into the residence.

“Can I help you?” A servant asked.

“I need to see a Ling Hu.” Kisuke said softly.

“Prince Ling is busy.” The youkai tiger said crossing her arms.

“I am Urahara Kisuke and I know a Yoshiko Hu.” He said bowing.

“You know the prince's mate?” The servant asked shocked.

“Hai.” He nodded.

The servant stepped aside and he followed the tiger onna. He was led into an opulent courtyard and a young looking male tiger. He had longish silver hair that hung around his shoulders. He had subtle stripes and his eyes were a piercing silver blue.

“How ya doing? I am Urahara Kisuke.” He said smiling.

“Shinigami this is not the Seireitei.” Ling said standing.

“I don't much like Soul Society's rules Prince Ling but here's why I'm here. There is a beautiful inu onna by the name of Yoshiko who cries often over her lost love.” He said softly.

“Shiko.” Ling said in a haunted tone.

“Is it true you had her kill you? Man that was cruel.” Kisuke said.

“I was in a great deal of pain; I was not thinking clearly but she did end my suffering.” He said looking down.

“What would you say if I could bring you back?” He asked.

“Why would you do that?” Ling asked surprised.

“We love the same onna. I want to see her happy. You are and always will be her soul mate. Love like that is epic.” Kisuke shrugged.

“You are a rare man Urahara Kisuke. I would love to see her. I miss my wife and mate. She was my reason for being.” He said sadly.

“Well come on.” He said smirking.

“Now? I have both of my brothers here.” He said softly.

“Oh them? Hai well give me time. Lady Asuna has become a friend.” He chuckled.

“Lady Asuna? She was dead!” Ling said surprised.

“Well a Tomoshibi brought her back and she is raising all kinds of hell.” Kisuke teased.

“How are you going to do it?” He asked.

“Well I know the other Tomoshibi who owes me a favor. I'm a former captain in the Gotei Thirteen.” He shrugged.

“What is going to happen?” he asked.

“You are going to wake up in a helluva lot of pain. I know where you fell.” He said staring at him.

“How?” He asked.

“Yoshiko cries out in her sleep. She and I went into Hueco Mundo together to rescue her niece.” He shrugged.

“Why would you give up your relationship with her?” Ling asked.

“Like I said, I want her happy and I'm a wanted man. Now prepare yourself.” Kisuke said shunpoing away.

It was quiet for awhile and he shrugged. He went to his bed and lay down. He figured if something did happen then he should rest.

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

Kisuke was in Manchuria and Kaisei had stated that he was never there. He smirked at his old friend's fear. He saw the tiger prince and he appeared next to him.

“Hurt my friend? Here take this. We will be there soon enough.” He said to the Byakko.

Ling was disoriented and in so much pain that he almost wished for death again. He was somewhere almost instantly and then there were bright lights. He saw a mixed nu zi and male as they shouted in Japanese. Something was poured down his throat and he suddenly felt no pain at all. He looked over at the female healer and he croaked out his thanks.

Kisuke appeared in Karakura Town and he liked his little portals. He knelt by his futon and shook Yoshiko. She woke up a little and stared at him.

“You need to get to Yamasaki General. I'll see you later.” He said pulling off his haori for her.

“What is wrong?” She asked concerned.

“Just go.” He said softly.

She ported quickly and Kisuke's heart felt winsome and heavy but he felt like he was doing the right thing. He lay down as he had a big day tomorrow.

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

Yoshiko scented it as soon as she appeared in the hospital. She ran to the emergency department. She saw Ling and her heart was skipping beats. She stumbled forward and came to his side.

“Ling? Oh Kamis.” She said taking his elegant hands.

“Shiko.” He whispered.

“Who did this? Did Kisuke do this?” She asked shaking.

“Yes. He said wanted you happy.” He whispered.

Yoshiko's face was covered in tears and she leaned down. She pressed her lips to his softly. She was shaking terribly as she kissed his face over and over.

“Shiko, I asked you to. You did nothing wrong. Have you carried guilt this long?” He whispered hoarsely.

“Hai.” She cried softly.

“Silly inu.” He said in a barely audible tone.

Her black hair spilled around them and she freely cried. She stayed there until he fell into a deep sleep from the widow venom. She wiped her face and looked at Nanami.

“I will be back very shortly.” She said standing.

“Hai Aunt Yoshiko.” She nodded.

Yoshiko ported to the Urahara Shop and she appeared next to the sleeping shinigami. She shook him roughly and he looked up at her.

“You should have just said you did not want me!” She cried.

“I want you happy. This will make you happy.” He said looking away.

“You were making me happy!” She said as tears fell down her eyes.

“I can't give you what you need but I can love you okay? Let this just be.” He said looking away.

“I do not see this as wrong Kisuke. I have come to love you and you have made your point eloquently. Ling is convinced you are such an honorable man but I know what a COWAD you are.” She yelled.

“Sorry you see it that way. Good night Yoshiko and I pray you two finally have your babe you have wanted.” He said.

“Why did you do this?' She wept.

“You talk in your sleep. I love you onna but he is your everything.” He said rolling to his side.

She ported away and she lay next to Ling. She curled her body around his and laced her fingers in his. He was sedated and she felt like hell. She knew this is how her sister must have felt. Kisuke had no idea what he had done for her but she would be damned if she gave him up.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was in the hospital and she stood in the doorway. Ling was sleeping as well as Yoshiko. She neared him and sat down near the bed.

“Ling?” She asked taking his hand.

“Sister! How are you?” He asked hoarsely.

“I am well. How is Quon?” She asked.

“He is well.” He said softly.

“Cheung?” She asked.

“Good. He is still obnoxious; even his soul cannot be chaste. Are you okay?” He asked as he saw her face.

“I am well. Zihao, Wen, and Wenling will be here in the morning to see their favorite uncle.” She teased.

“Thank you Asuna. Shiko cares for the shinigami?” He asked softly.

“Mister Urahara seems to be quite the individual. She cares for him but you have been her life.” She said standing.

“Thank you.” He said squeezing her hand.

She nodded and she slipped away. She was crying softly and she ported. She felt so much and she wandered into her beach house. She lay on her couch and she felt hands on her back. She looked up and it was Tekeshi. His face was full of love and concern. She sat up and leaned against him. She began kissing him so passionately that he was a little surprised. She always managed to catch him off his guard. She began making love to him slowly and his mind was going feral. She was purposely dragging it out and he ended up gouging her back. His eyes were closed and he was desperate.

“Aijou! Please onna. You are killing me.” He growled in her ear.

He was rasping hard and she yanked on his empathy and he snarled out. He ended up pushing her back and his grip on her was bruising. His release was soul shattering and he collapsed on her. He laid his head on her chest and he felt lethargy.

“I felt your pain. I love you.” He murmured.

“Hai. I have always loved you Lord Tekeshi.” She said snuggling up to him.

His green eyes closed and he felt peace. She fell into sleep and she was seeing things. She was in a shadowy world and her hand was taken by a tiny presence and she looked down at a silver haired pup. Hana smiled up at her mother and she looked confused.

“I am sorry Haha but it is time.” She said softly.

“I do not understand. Time for what sweet girl?” she asked.

“It is time to go home now. I see you much later.” Hana said hugging her legs.

Asuna came to and she suddenly came aware that it was morning. She also came aware that she was suddenly so sick that she barely made it over the side of the couch. She began vomiting horribly and Tekeshi woke up.

“Aijou? What is wrong? Aijou!” He said holding onto her.

“Hana! She came to me last night.” She said wiping her mouth.

“Dearest Hana is dead.” He said gripping her.

“No Tekeshi I saw her in my dream.” She said wiping her mouth more.

“I see. She was making a nocturnal visit. She does that with me.” He sighed.

“She said it was time to go home but I do not understand.” She said confused.

She watched emerald green eyes widen to a shocked state and he was scenting. His mouth dropped open and she suddenly understood.

“You do not think? Could it be? Tekeshi?” She rambled.

“I do not know. Your kumo would know right? Do you think it is possible?” He asked shaking hard.

Asuna ported with Tekeshi and they appeared at the hospital. They walked into Nobu's office and the kumo bowed his head. She motioned and he listened to her belly. His eyes widened and he re-listened. He was amazed and looked up.

“I know this babe Asuna. This is so strange but I swear that this is Hana.” He said shocked.

Tekeshi fell into the chair and he was stunned. Asuna's mind was whirling as she put her hands to her belly.

“Too soon after but Nobu it is Hana?” She asked beginning to tremble.

“Hai it is her.” He said looking up.

“Tekeshi? Our baby girl has finally decided to come home.” She said beginning to weep.

All three were stunned speechless and Asuna sank to her backside in a chair. Terian Huber's evil had finally been obliterated from their family.
