Better the Devil You Know

 

They were precious and they were sweet. He was more then disgusted with himself but he liked the little ones. He felt like the biggest fool but the half Arrancar babe was following him around; the little buggar was just like his mother. He was infectious and demanded attention and the small boy was incredibly loving. Haruya would just not leave him alone and he was now against his chest with his head laying on him and his little fingers twirling in his hair. The blasted babe had dimples as well and the most beautiful smile. He sighed as he walked back and forth and read a letter from one of his distant cousins.

 

“You are a demanding little boy. Your sire must love you to pieces. You are a spoiled little boy.” Lei murmured.

 

“Food.” Haruya said.

 

“Yes. I will bring you to chef. Come little one.” He commanded of Chiyo.

 

Chiyo followed and the three little ones were sleeping. They were all together in a cradle and they were all swaddled. He had to admit they were gorgeous but then Naraku, Ishin, and Nobu were all stunning beyond reckoning. He led them to a low table and the two toddlers were calm. The red haired female seemed beyond reserved and Asuna had explained that Misaki had been her twin. The poor girl was missing her sister. He got them fed and then back to the nursery and had them nap. He sighed and this was NOT who he was but it was nice in a way. They were guarded but very casually with his most trusted assassins. He went to his room and she was there. He watched her carefully and her eyes were haunted. They were also trying to bleed red. She neared him and he was still leery of her. She was here often as she checked on her babes. She had brought the triples wet nurse and she had explained that she carried and could not meet their needs and the fetus too. She stood in front of him and pressed her forehead to his.

 

“What is going on with you?” He demanded.

 

“I needed your lovely observations. Will you shut up?” She growled.

 

They stared at the other and she grasped his hands in hers. His heart was beating hard and they just stood there.

 

“You still have not shown me you and another.” She whispered.

 

“What do you want she dog?” He asked.

 

“I want mindlessness for the moment. My sire is missing and so is my mother. I am gathering together the warriors of old and we are moving against the Kazak-Shouten.” She said ghosting her lips over his.

 

“So I have become your personal boy toy?” He asked arching a brow.

 

“I suppose. Have I not been enough?” She asked darkly.

 

“Oh you have kept me highly entertained.” He smirked.

 

“Still I want to see you.” She said in a husky tone.

 

“Why?” He growled.

 

“Because you are beautiful and I want to see you in the throes of passion. For some reason the idea of you acting like you is comforting to me.” She said closing her eyes a moment.

 

“I see. You want me to act my nature and that makes your world make sense? What if I moan your name? Shall I growl it out so it sounds angry?” He taunted.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“You are such a naughty little woman. Makes me quite aroused but I have things to do. Maybe later.” He snapped.

 

“Lei.” She growled.

 

She ensnared him in her uppyr yoki and he did not move. She was causing his prostate to throb in the most amazing way and he was cursing her damnable power. She made it sharper and he groaned. She was going to bend him to her will and he would loose his mind and gleefully do it.

 

“Do you have a favorite?” She asked in his ear.

 

“Yes and she stands in front of me. Finish this.” He moaned.

 

“You do not want of your delicious little lovers?” She asked.

 

“Yes, I want this one. You have ruined me. You have made me crave you like air.” Lei groaned.

 

She growled in annoyance and she bit off her claws on her right hand. She used her own fingers to touch him so intimately and he whined and whimpered. He held onto her and she was getting him so close and she looked at him evilly.

 

“Do not dare! You bitch!” Lei hissed.

 

“What? I want what I want.” She said pursing her lips.

 

“Fine!” He snarled.

 

She stepped back and he was so damn needy at the moment. He called on one of his lovers and she was hidden well. She had masked her presence and he was so aroused that he ended up taking the other male with ferocity. His lover was sated and he was still inflamed. He stepped into the small alcove and he lifted her up on the wall. He felt her core and she was slick. He was certain he was becoming enamored with her and he slammed into her hard.

 

“You make me crazy. How could that idiot stay away from you?” He rasped in her ear.

 

“Ask him that.” She moaned.

 

“I will when I kill him. Gods you feel so good. You liked that.” He said reaching for the pinnacle.

 

“Hai. You are very beautiful but you know this.” She said beginning to have a massive and overwhelming release.

 

He choked as she slammed and made his own energies combine with hers. He sank his fangs into her neck and his body shook hard. He was barely able to stand and he realized she had fed from him in her way. He ended up falling to his backside and she watched him as she calmed her beating heart.

 

“How has this happened?” He asked in a daze.

 

“Necessity demands it. The sex is a bonus.” She said wiping away a little sweat from her forehead.

 

“Truly how did you learn all this?” He asked pulling himself to standing.

 

“I have lived before. I was Egyptian at one time. Kaito was playing at being a goddess.” She shrugged.

 

Lei stared at her and he grew annoyed at the mention of the Tomoshibi.

 

“Tell me about him.” He growled.

 

“Well he is five thousand plus years and he sired three wraith babes by me. Hikari is mortal now but I killed her Uncle Kaimei for sentencing her to death. I also gave him two more when I was in Soul Society. Kai and Kanami.” She said looking away.

 

“You had pure wraith babes?” He asked stunned.

 

“Hai they are Tomoshibi but hai.” She shrugged.

 

“Then why are they not helping as well? Your Tomoshibi children could do real damage you little fool.” He said in surprise.

 

“Hikari was made mortal and the twins are very young. They never come to this plane as they are still developing their yoki.” She said.

 

“Made mortal? What by those fucking elder beings in that disgusting plane they call an afterlife?” He asked with contempt.

 

“Hai but she had been sentenced to death.” She said growling.

 

“Go to your summit lover. I have things to do.” He snapped.

 

She sneered at him and she pulled up her linen pants. Lei was furious that the damn Soul Society dare condemn a wraith to death let alone a Tomoshibi. He put his clothes on and he went to a trusted member of his clan.

 

“Find the daughter of the Tomoshibi named Kaito. She is blonde I am sure. Find her and bring her here.” He commanded.

 

“Yes my lord.” The grey haired male said bowing.

 

He nodded and he could not traverse into Soul Society but he intended to find a way of contacting her young wraith children. A century was very young indeed and he imagined they missed their father. Kaito was legendary in the wraith world for being a rule and heart breaker. He was actually jealous that the other wraith had touched his former enemy but Lei was actually tied to her in the corporeal world. He smirked and he would love to meet the light wraith. He actually did not have to wait long when his spy returned with a stunning onna with brown eyes and golden hair. She jerked away from his vassal and she actually growled at him.

 

“How charming you are. Thank you Luang.” Lei said circling her.

 

“She bit me!” The grey haired wraith whined.

 

“Did you like it?” Lei asked amused.

 

“NO!” The young male snapped and stalked off.

 

“Why have you brought me here Shouten?” Hikari said in anger.

 

“Wondering if you wish to be yourself again.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“You cannot turn me back into a Tomoshibi and there is no way I would be turned into a filthy Shouten.” She snapped.

 

“Oh no dear. You were born a Tomoshibi and you would die into a Tomoshibi.” He said flatly.

 

“How?” She asked.

 

“Because you were born wraith. Should you like to go back being what you were and bring your two younger siblings here?” He asked smirking.

 

“How do you know about the twins?” She asked in anger.

 

“Your mother and I have reached an understanding. You mother mated me in order to displace Hanaj.” He said bluntly.

 

“Good Kamis! When my sire returns and he will return; he will decimate you for touching her!” She snarled.

 

“She came to me. Now do you want it or not?” he demanded.

 

“I do. I can help if I have my youkai status back.” She said in despair.

 

Lei appeared in front of her and he sank his fangs into her neck. She grunted as he drank her blood. He held onto her and drained her dry. She sank to the floor and she still tasted like wraith still. He would have to let her fully die and then change her. He smirked and the idea of the tr'Awnhi suffering. He picked her up and laid her body on a spare bed and he had to wait. He went on about his business and checked on the little ones.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hikari groaned as she came to and she was hungry. She held her stomach as she had not felt this hungry in forever.

 

“Try your powers.” Lei commanded.

 

She touched a pillow and it faded away. Lei was jealous that her ability to manipulate matter was so much easier for her. Tomoshibi had evolved differently and they were good at manipulating matter in all forms including souls. They had absolutely no shoki to speak of but they were quick witted and normally quicker then even the Shouten. They could pull weapons out of thin air it seemed. Their true forms on the other plane looked like pure white light hence their names. Yes the Tomoshibi were very different.

 

“I am back!” She grinned.

 

“Now what about your siblings?” He asked.

 

“Look Shouten they are young and skittish. They lost our mother to this plane and now their sire was banished. They are not trusting.” She stated.

 

“Bring them and they will be strengthened. You are a species of wraith young woman and that means you need help stop the tr'Awnhi. Get over your prejudices.” He snapped.

 

Hikari sneered and she phased within Soul Society. She went to her father's old home and found the twins. They jumped up and they were shocked.

 

“Sister?” Kai cried.

 

“Hai you two. Come on we are going to help Haha.” Hikari stated.

 

“Where?” Kanami demanded.

 

“The living world.” She said flatly.

 

“Hikari! We are not that strong.” Kai whined.

 

“Like hell you two are not. You are the twins of the great Kaito. Act like it and come meet your siblings.” She said grabbing their hands and phasing them to Lei's palace.

 

Both twins had silver hair and bright green eyes. Lei was impressed with the youths but they were terribly young. The female twin was watching him and she seemed nervous. His younger cousin Luang walked in and he stared at the bitch that bit him and he saw another female that startled him. She jumped behind the elder female and Lei laughed.

 

“You said they were skittish. How charming.” Lei grinned.

 

“You are a Shouten!” Kanami said pointing at him.

 

“Very good. Sheltered much?” Lei asked Hikari.

 

“Haha was and is very protective of them. She forbade them from coming to the other plane.” Hikari said rolling her eyes.

 

“Amazing indeed. I suppose they are still virginal?” He asked snorting in laughter.

 

“Evil beast.” Kai snapped.

 

“How sweet. I mean Luang they are really sweet.” Lei laughed as he walked away.

 

“Why did you bring us here?” Kanami asked.

 

“Because three of our siblings have been killed recently and he is right; Tomoshibi can fight the Shouten.” Hikari said.

 

“Okay. Will it help Haha?” Kai asked.

 

“Hai. It will help Haha.” Their elder sister nodded.

 

“Okay.” Kanami stated.

 

The Tomoshibi siblings looked around and they followed after the Shouten.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sesshomaru cursed himself for his stupidity. He should not have been captured he realized and he had become too callous in his arrogance. He had only ever been injured in battle by being taken by surprise which was rare. When Inuyasha had cut off his arm; he had underestimated the hanyou. The wraith known as Sindari was sadistic and he finally gotten used to the hunger pains. She had taken up using her claws to scar his chest and she made him suffer. He had learned to retreat into his own mind and she kept him weak by continuously draining him. He was fantasizing about how to kill her slowly and pools of his Dakkasou sounded very good. He was awoken from his mind by her dragging something metal and hot down his legs.

 

“Such a good little bleeder. You never cry out. You know I might stop if you begged me too.” She cooed.

 

“Hn!” He snarled.

 

“Stubborn man. I have come to know that you are very much into women.” She smirked cruelly.

 

His eyes widened and she smirked with even more malice. She intended to find Lei Jing and let him at the dog daemon lord. She stood and she ported to Hadasan. She looked around and Lei came out moments later.

 

“I have someone for you to do.” She said looking at him with mirth.

 

“Pardon me Lady Sinadari?” Lei asked shocked.

 

“Yes. I have a prisoner and I want him broken and seeing as how you like luscious male flesh…it should not be too much of a stretch.” She smirked.

 

“Absolutely. Now?” He asked.

 

“Oh yes now.” She grinned.

 

He followed her and he was shocked to see a male dog daemon that looked like his lover. He made sure he appeared like a slobbering idiot.

 

“Alone. I will enjoy deflowering this boy.” Lei grinned.

 

“I want to watch later. Enjoy yourself demented ass.” She laughed.

 

As soon as she left, Lei turned to the dog lord. He was gorgeous and he saw where she got it from. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing but he released the manacles. The canine grabbed his throat and he nearly choked.

 

“Let me go or she will return. I am your ticket to freedom dog.” He growled.

 

“Why would you assist this Sesshomaru?” He demanded in a weak baritone.

 

“Because if I do not your eldest daughter will have my balls on a pike over a fire, okay?” He said in sarcasm.

 

“Hn.” Sesshomaru uttered weakly.

 

Lei threw a blanket over him and he phased out with the inu lord. They appeared in the Western Palace and he stared at the inu.

 

“Buh bye.” Lei smirked.

 

Sesshomaru could barely move but the bastard had saved him.

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

Lei felt her and she was in a room with several males. He snarled in her head and she whipped her head around. She scowled and she ported out to her Karakura Town residence.

 

“Your father is home.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“How?” She asked shocked.

 

“Well Sindari tr'Awnhi had him. She makes her elder sister look nice. She has a penchant for torture and intended me to defile your sire.” He snorted.

 

“You did not touch him did you?” Asuna demanded.

 

“No! He is quite yummy looking but he is not worth your wrath. You have ways now my dear of making me suffer and I do not wish for that.” He stated bluntly.

 

She ported away and he stared at the empty spot.

 

“You are welcome!” He yelled.

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

Asuna appeared beside her father and he looked up weakly. She cut her wrist and pressed it to his lips. He let himself take in her blood and he was weak.

 

“Father, oh Kamis you are hurt.” She said whimpering.

 

“Will live. Where is Augusta?” He asked with parched lips.

 

“Jaken! Jaken bring your lord some water.” Asuna yelled.

 

She heard the kappa scamper and she could plainly see he was in pain and she did not want to look further. She called on Yasu and she looked at him.

 

“My lord she went looking for you but Raganos was injured between her and the basilisk Amedeo.” She said softly.

 

“Must find her. Please have Yasu give me widow venom.” He murmured.

 

“Hai my lord.” She said wiping his hair away from his face.

 

He nodded and he felt wretched. His mate would put him into euphoria at least and he closed his amber eyes. The female had used him ill and in heinous ways. Lord Sesshomaru now knew it was possible to be raped by an onna. He now knew what true torture.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna found Lei back at his small palace and she walked up to him. She pressed her lips to his and they began dueling for control. He pulled back and she looked at him.

 

“You have to injure me. I will not have my cover blown by this.” He stated in a sigh.

 

“Hai. I am sorry.” She murmured.

 

“Just think of it as rough foreplay.” He laughed.

 

She nodded and she grew her yoki whip. She would injure him how her sire could. She barely flicked her wrist and he was struck deeply. He gasped and looked at her in shock.

 

“Damn that thing burns.” He grunted as blood began to seep from the deep wound in his chest.

 

“So sorry.” She said frowning.

 

“Come on bitch. Do better then that.” He said smirking.

 

She released her Dakkasou blades and they sank deeply into him in several places. He growled and it burned him.

 

“See you later she dog. Good job. It will be my pleasure making you scream next time.” He said phasing out.

 

She felt bad but now she owed him again. She pondered Lei Jing and she ported back to her sire. He was in his futon and blissfully asleep. He was actually shielding which her mother had taught him how to do well. She was so angry that he should have touched and she knew without a doubt that the only way he would have taken is if he had been taken completely unaware. Some of the Shouten were stronger at concealment then others. Asuna had begun to realize just how complacent that her family had become since her passing in the Boxer Rebellion. Asuna was suddenly startled and she saw Hikari grinning.

 

“Hello Haha. Your friend Lei is really useful. You should know that Saaya has been searching for Chichi. I am going to help her bust him out, we need him right now.” Hikari stated.

 

“How and why? What did he do?” She asked astonished.

 

“Do not know but it worked. I am Tomoshibi again. Jing Lei Shi is not what I expected.” She said softly.

 

“He is not what I expected either.” Asuna said softly.

 

Hikari phased out and Asuna ported to Lei's side. His eyes were closed and he had been worked over by someone else. She knelt near him and his eyes opened. She dragged her claws across her chest and his eyes were on the blood. He yanked her to him and sank his fangs in. He was not gentle and he was growling as he took in her healing blood. He lifted his head and then ravished her mouth. Blood stained her mouth and more spilled as he bit into her tongue. She was lost in the aggressive nature and he ended up biting her several more times and he phased into her body. He was taking her to the edge and she was gasping harshly. She was bordering on insanity and he became corporeal again. They were side by side and he gathered her in his arms. He was kissing her as his hips met hers again and again. She was gasping as he brought them both to their ends. He nuzzled her neck and she was sleepy. He ran his tongue along his fang marks and sighed as he felt much better.

 

“Much better. I need sleep.” He murmured.

 

“You are not who or what I thought you were.” She said as her fingers lightly followed the lines his belly.

 

“I am the same as I have always been. You have just managed to worm your way into my inner being. What are you doing?” He asked softly.

 

She left soft and lingering kisses down his chest and belly. He was not used to the delicate little nips and he found himself stirred despite his tiredness. What happened next nearly shattered him and they were both soaked in perspiration and she stared at him with something new.

 

“Lei, you are part of me now.” She whispered softly.

 

“What did you do?” He asked breathlessly.

 

“We made love.” Asuna stated as her thumb brushed his lips.

 

He just stared at her and he had no clue that it could be an expression of a feeling. He had no clue it could be more then pleasure. He stared at the woman he had detested for so long and could not bring himself to feel ill towards her anymore.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Saaya and Sojiro were in a part of Soul Society that neither had seen. It was difficult terrain and it seemed like a wasteland. She was holding his hand and she had become completely ensnared in him. She felt powerful barriers that were impossible to enter.

 

“These are prisons for ancient and powerful elders or shinigami.” He said.

 

“Well I have been looking for this place and you led me right here.” Hikari said smiling.

 

Saaya turned and she was shocked to see Hikari. Her wraith sister was grinning and she walked over to Saaya.

 

“Give me your hand. I am going to show you what the children of our Haha can do together.” She stated.

 

Saaya took her hand and yoki of tremendous proportions surged through them both. Hikari was channeling the reiastu in the air itself. Sojiro was in awe and both them had a blue aura around them. Hikari held her hand out and a short beam of raw light appeared in her hand. She threw it into the barrier and the air itself wavered. All three of them of were thrown backwards as an explosion proceeded to shatter the invisible prison. Hikari looked up and she could feel him. She phased where he was and Kaito stared at his eldest daughter. His green eyes held such emotion and she hugged him tightly.

 

“My beautiful girl. My sweet girl! How did you manage?” He asked.

 

“I followed Saaya. There is so much to tell you but we have to go. We can hide you within Hueco Mundo.” She stated.

 

“Hueco Mundo? Hikari what have you been doing?” Kaito asked shocked.

 

“Chichi, things are bad. They are really bad.” She said as they walked out of the area.

 

Hikari could see how thin he was and anger ripped through her. Hatred of Soul Society motivated her and the king who never did anything. Saaya bowed before the Tomoshibi and Kaito looked at the former shinigami.

 

“I know of you.” Kaito stated.

 

“You do?” Sojiro asked surprised.

 

“Hai. It was terrible what they did.” He said softly.

 

“Chichi, let us go. Haha will want to see you.” His daughter implored him.

 

“I need to eat Hikari. I am starving.” He said gently.

 

“Okay. By the way Uncle Kaimei is dead.” Hikari stated with a nasty smirk.

 

“My brother is dead? How?” Kaito asked shocked.

 

“He condemned me to death and Haha busted up into the Seireitei and freed me. She also killed him when he tried to stop her. They made me mortal instead.” She stated.

 

“Wait one second! How dare he lay in judgment of you. Mortal but you are Tomoshibi again!” He said confused.

 

“Courtesy of Lei Jing.” She replied.

 

Kaito's handsome mouth dropped open and he was in total shock. Shouten normally did nothing but kill and destroy.

 

“I will let Haha explain. Feed from her Chichi. She is stronger since you restored her.” Hikari said.

 

“Princess Saaya how are you? How are your fathers?” Kaito asked.

 

“Arguing terribly. I know the truth now sir. I know how Kenomaru manipulated his twin and my mother. I should warn you that Menomaru stabbed Mother very recently.” She said sighing.

 

“This is utter insanity! What the hell is going on?” He asked shocked.

 

“The planes are co-mingling Chichi. You should know that Iyo and Kenji are now Shouten. They were killed and then restored as wraiths.” Hikari stated.

 

“Not for long. I will change them in Tomoshibi.” He growled.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Hikari linked hands with her sister, Sojiro, and Kaito and phased them into the palace of Jing. Kaito looked around and Kai and Kanami ran to him. The twins hugged their father and were smothering him. Asuna flew into the hall and she stared at golden haired Tomoshibi.

 

“Kaito! How? How did they find you?” She asked stunned.

 

“Saaya and Sojiro here found the way. I followed and we busted him out.” Hikari said proudly.

 

“Asuna.” Kaito said softly.

 

She neared him slowly and she was in his arms. He held her tightly and he looked up to see Lei Jing in the doorway. Hatred stirred in his gut but he stayed calm.

 

“I wish to leave this place.” He said in her ear.

 

“Where to Kaito? You will be hunted in Soul Society. Lei is an ally.” She murmured.

 

“He is Shouten!” He snarled.

 

“I am also not a big fan of the tr'Awnhi Tomoshibi. Hang your feelings and deal with the situation. The tr'Awnhi sat back for centuries and they have gained power.” Lei growled.

 

“Who rules now?” Kaito demanded.

 

“Raganos tr'Awnhi.” Lei replied.

 

“Kaimei killed his father. So now the son is ruling. Well it seems I must tolerate you.” Kaito sneered.

 

“Oh whatever blondie. Go fuck yourself.” Lei stated and walked away.

 

“Kaito stop! He is sheltering my pups. The Kazak-Shouten attacked the whole of my family. Rina is dead. Two of my pups were murdered as well. Hinata and Misaki.” Asuna said choking.

 

“Kamis. I need to feed and you need open your mind to me. I need to know what is going on.” He stated.

 

She nodded and he phased them out to the wilds of Japan. He pulled her flush to him and sank his fangs into her neck. She gasped loudly and he was suddenly snarling. He had never been jealous of her mates and lovers before but he was furious at Lei Jing. He saw what Hanaj had done and he lost it. He pulled her into a crushing grip and his aura was pulsing.

 

“How dare another wraith touch you! You are mine!” He said in terrible anger.

 

“Kaito stop! They are not of this plane and neither are you! I am corporeal again and you cannot be this way.” She said reasonably.

 

“Your yoki has grown. You have been quite busy I see. Teruyoshi? Damnit Asuna how in the hell are you all traversing the planes? An Arrancar?” He asked seething.

 

“When do you ever get angry like this?” She demanded.

 

“It felt like an eternity! You have no idea what it was like not feeling you. I have always at least felt you. I would restore you again and I should have done it sooner but I missed you. I missed you so much.” He said trembling.

 

Kaito pulled her to him and his lips hungrily devoured her. He wanted to feel her in both forms but settled for his spirit form. He left her breathless and she was on her knees moaning and she screamed when he made her climax in mind, body, and soul. He appeared next to her and held her up. He kissed the back of her neck and feverishly moved his lips across exposed skin.

 

“This travesty of your young ones will be fixed. Considering my supposed best friend had adopted the boy into his house; he should have restored him. He should have saved him. I care not what those traitors did.” He said furiously.

 

“You will expose yourself.” She said softly.

 

“Screw them. There is no distinction between the planes. How this happened I have no idea but I will take advantage of it. Go back to your summit or the Shouten; Kamis I hate those bastards.” He snapped.

 

She watched him phase away and she ported back to Lei's palace. He was behind her instantly and he scented her neck. Lei was seething in horrendous jealousy and he could smell the Tomoshibi all over her. He gripped her shoulders and the other wraith scented amazing.

 

“He will not displace me and you will honor your word.” He snarled in her ear.

 

“I had no intentions of displacing you. I am corporeal and we never had a traditional relationship. He got used to us being together always when I was in Soul Society.” She stated.

 

Lei grunted and left her alone. She sighed and realized how territorial wraiths truly were. She ported back to the Western Palace and waited on Sheng and Jin to appear.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kaito appeared in Squad One barracks and directly into Teru's office. His friend looked up shocked and he could see how angry he was.

 

“I understand punishing me but condemning Hikari? How could you!” Kaito demanded.

 

“Your daughter was bringing back people left and right Kaito! How in the hell?” He asked shocked.

 

“Well you will not capture me and we are no longer friends. How dare you touch her! How dare you touch my wife! She was mine Teru, MINE!” Kaito snarled.

 

“You gave up your marital status when you restored her. You cannot be married to a corporeal and you know it. You were imprisoned for all time supposedly.” He said stubbornly.

 

“Well you did a marvelous job Teru. Good job Captain General! You could not even break the rules for your adopted son?” Kaito growled.

 

“What the hell are talking about?” He demanded.

 

“The hanyou! The little boy named Hinata? You could not restore him?” Kaito asked.

 

“Hinata? What do you mean? He was fine! I check on him regularly.” Teru said sitting in confusion.

 

“Well he died, killed by the Shouten. He is hanyou and therefore in your domain. You are a fool.” Kaito sneered.

 

Teru could say nothing as shock settled in. He had no clue and the whole ordeal with the Oin and the continued conflict with Aizen had left him distracted.

 

“I know not how you got out but I will have to stop you.” Teru said in a hoarse whisper.

 

“You do that. We both know I can fight on par with you.” He said phasing out.

 

He appeared in Squad Thirteen and Ukitake looked up shocked.

 

“Jyyushiro, I need your help my friend. I need a way into Hueco Mundo.” He said flatly.

 

“You escaped, good!” Jyyushiro said.

 

“Can you get me in?” He asked.

 

“Do you remember Urahara Kisuke?” The captain of Squad Thirteen asked.

 

“Hai. He was banished. He helped those shinigami escape who had been hollowfied.” He said sitting.

 

“Hai he did. Now he is in a place called Karakura Town. He can get you in. He is the founder of the Shinigami Research Foundation.” Jyyushiro stated.

 

“Thank you my friend.” Kaito said phasing into the physical plane.

 

He wandered around in his spirit form and he found what he was looking for. He appeared corporeal and walked inside the shop. Kisuke came to the front and he was shocked to see the legendary Tomoshibi known as Kaito. Normal shinigami would not have known of him but high ranking ones did. He bowed in awe and Kaito chuckled.

 

“What can I help you with?” Kisuke asked.

 

“Well since I am Tomoshibi I cannot phase into Hueco Mundo. I intend to fix the twins and make them Tomoshibi. That way they will not have to stay in that wasteland.” He said.

 

“Phase directly down.” Kisuke stated.

 

“Okay.” Kaito stated.

 

He phased directly down and he appeared in a desert like region. Kisuke appeared up on a beam and looked at the shinigami.

 

“The twins should be able to get you back. Kurotsuchi Mayuri came up with a medal to get into Hueco Mundo but he is a freak.” Kisuke chuckled.

 

“Well I shall be back soon. I hate those beings.” He shuddered.

 

“Aizen is there now. Good luck.” Kisuke stated.

 

“She is just like her sister you know. You ought to not dismiss her.” Kaito said then stepped through.

 

Kisuke sighed and he knew he had done the right thing for Yoshiko. He had become quite learned on the Western House and she was too much like her father. He shook his head and he realized that the Shouten were fixing to have a run for their money.

Iyo was watching over Nveid and he was as if dead. She had found a little used hide out amongst the Menos Forest. It provided excellent source of hollows and perfect hideout to keep him out of the spotlight. She appeared in Los Noches every so often and she knew Aizen was fixing to make a move against Soul Society and he kept his Cuatro Espada very busy. She had tremendously strong feelings for Nveid and she would save the stupid idiot from himself. She would show him what love could really do. She felt a strange aura and she looked up. Kaito stared at Nveid in utter contempt but met her eyes.

 

“Do not hurt him Kaito. I gave up my life to save him and you will not end it.” Iyo said softly.

 

“He is a worthless Shouten but you always were so kind and just. I am here to turn you again.” He said softly.

 

“To what?” She asked shocked.

 

“Tomoshibi. I will make you and Kenji into one of the light wraiths. You need not stay in the dank hell hole.” He said softly.

 

“But I…” She said stunned.

 

“He is Shouten. I will not destroy him but you are the daughter of my dearest and most beloved onna. I cannot see you as this. It kills me to think that one of my species destroyed you.” He said cupping her cheek.

 

“I am pregnant. Will it harm my babes?” She asked.

 

“They will be what you are. They will become like us. I can only do this to another wraith and a normal Shouten I would never consider. You are a not a normal Shouten but a created one. Allow me this. The living plane will be easier to attain for you. You will never be a corporeal again but you will not be here. You can eat real food and take in sustenance a different way.” He murmured.

 

“Okay. Just promise me not to hurt Nveid. Please I beg you.” She said meeting his green eyes.

 

“I promise.” He said in disgust.

 

She nodded and she slowly stood. Kaito could see that she was ready to give birth soon and he took secret delight in turning her babes into Tomoshibi. He would love to see the hollow and Shouten's faces. She concealed Nveid's presence and she followed. She took them to Kenji and her brother was laying out on a tower in Los Noches. He looked over at Kaito and waved.

 

“Hello! What brings you here sir?” Kenji asked.

 

“This travesty! Brace yourself Iyo and Kenji.” He said then he sank his fangs into Iyo neck. She did not gasp but the look of happiness crossed her face.

 

Kenji watched in shock and his sister slowly faded. He knew she would not be dead for long and Kaito indicated to take them back to the other plane. He phased them into the living plane and then Kaito did the same to him. He was in a way their sire now and he put the twins next to each other. He phased them into his home in Seagaia. They would wake up in a day or two and they could feed on auras; much like succubi and incubui did the sexual act. He looked at them in a much better mood and he realized that perhaps he could restore his people. He considered his thoughts and phased back to his onna.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna had met with Tekeshi, Changming, and Geming. They were powerful but they all admitted to have gone lax. Yuudai grinned at the three and said quite bluntly that they had not trained with him. Geming had but he rolled his eyes at the silver inu. Geming glared at Asuna but she dismissed it. Chang stayed quite respectable around his adopted father but Tekeshi did not hide his admiration or desire for the onna who carried his beloved daughter. She stood up and the snow and red inu left and Tekeshi stared down at her.

 

“I admit I have become lazy. I should have been protecting you better. You have my sweet girl in your belly.” He said softly as he began kissing her neck.

 

“Goodness! Right there.” She moaned softly.

 

“You smell so wonderful. I want you stay here with us.” He said cupping her face in his hands.

 

“What do you mean us?” She asked.

 

“Yuudai, Anupu, me, and Chang.” He said nipping her lips.

 

“I can protect myself.” She snapped.

 

“Hai you can but we can protect you till you are smothered in sweaty, male inu bodies. I respect the kumo my beloved but you are half inu in this life. You do need a male inu to scent you some and lick you everywhere.” He said in her ear.

 

“Tekeshi!” She growled.

 

“Hai you are hot. I imagine you are weeping now too. Well I know you are sleepy but I am going to lick you clean.” He said grinning.

 

He ended up dragging her along the hall to his room that he had at Yuudai's castle. He carried through with his threat and her chest was heaving. Her body was exhausted but she ended up changing form and she had not hunted in a while. It felt good to give into her inu nature some. It felt almost normal. Her mother had returned earlier in the day and she had not left her chambers. Asuna could feel the rage that was emanating from Augusta and she was always worse when she was pupped. Asuna wandered around and she saw a chocolate inu in the clearing. She neared him and she licked his muzzle. The male whined a little and licked hers in return. He changed form and so did she. Sheng gathered her in his arms and stared down at her.

 

“You called and I have come.” He murmured.

 

“Hai you have. Where are the boys?” She asked.

 

“They are still in California. They are settling some business matters and they will be here in less then a week. My sweet koi; I am so sorry.” He said holding onto her.

 

“The hate is fueling me.” She said looking away.

 

“Koi do not look away from me. You always have done that. Face your pain and your fear. It is okay to admit and it does not make you weak.” He said as his hands threaded in her hair.

 

“Shut up! Damn you shut up!” Asuna said beating his chest.

 

“I know what you are and I should have been the bigger man but I am more inu. I should have made a better effort. You gave me two beautiful sons and you made me so happy. I loved fighting with you and I loved making up with you. You can cry koi. I have cried too. I cried when Hana passed on. I cried unlike I had ever done. I wept when you fell too. I could no longer feel you and it crushed me. I have our bond from those many years ago.” He stated tracing her lips with his claws.

 

“Sheng stop!” She whined.

 

“You avoid me and you avoid Jin because we remind you of a time when you were young and there were some happy times but they were few and far between.” He said softly pressing his lips to her cheek.

 

“Sheng stop it.” She said crying softly.

 

“You can stop running koi.” He said then kissed her passionately.

 

She whimpered as he possessed her. He always made her weak and he walked her backwards. She felt hands on her shoulders and she gasped. Sheng released her lips and she saw Jin.

 

“Hello Asuna.” The elder Panyu inu said.

 

“Jin?” She asked stunned.

 

“Hai I am here.” He said massaging her shoulders.

 

“Not like this. I do not want to be taken right now.” She said in defeated tone.

 

“Okay then.” Sheng said smiling.

 

He ported all three them to her chambers in the palace. Sheng carefully pulled off her coral colored kimono shirt. Jin undid her cream colored linen pants and pushed them past her hips. They left her undergarments on and Sheng led her to the bed. She lay down and he lay beside her. Jin stripped to his shorts and lay in front of her. They just sandwiched her and Sheng rubbed her belly lovingly.

 

“You are so beautiful when you are pupped. Sleep koi and in the morning we shall figure a way of making those bastards pay.” He said softly.

 

Asuna lay between them and she actually felt safe for the moment. The pain she felt washed through her and she cried softly. Sheng just clutched her and allowed her grief.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Iyo woke up and she was hungry but not the way she had felt when turned into a Shouten. It seemed so odd but she truly felt different. Kenji woke up moments later and they stared at the other.

 

“Well this is different. I have to get into Hueco Mundo.” She said softly.

 

“Right the Shouten boy you are so stupid over.” He said making a face.

 

“Well you have been hanging around the Third Espada.” She snapped.

 

“Well she is pretty and she is really deep. Not the typical Arrancar. Well let us find a hollow and hitch a ride.” He smirked.

 

“Okay come on.” She said smirking in return.

 

They found a hollow and they demanded it take them to Hueco Mundo. The twins were brilliant and resourceful and they split for a little while and Iyo entered the forest. She went to the hide out and she found Nveid gone. She looked around and she was grabbed from behind.

 

“What has happened to you?” He asked in her ear.

 

“You are awake.” She said softly.

 

“Yes. You are different but still wraith.” He said shocked.

 

“Kaito.” She murmured.

 

“He changed you did he? Well you are still wraith and you are still so beautiful.” He said leaning her heads back and kissing her passionately. Their lips were feverish as he could not stop the pressing of flesh. A hand drifted to her belly and he felt a babe.

 

“Iyo, I need you.” He whispered.

 

“Leave your family. Leave the Kazak-Shouten forever.” She said firmly.

 

Nveid was shocked at her request but he could tell she was serious. He suddenly did not care and nodded yes.

 

“Say it Nveid and I will give myself to you now. I will mate you.” She said as she slowly undid the gossamer gown she wore.

 

“Yes. Gods yes.” He said feverishly kissing her again.

 

She was lithe and he stared at her pregnant body. He was mystified as he took in her beautiful and luscious curves. Her breasts were full at the moment and he groaned.

 

“You are so beautiful Iyo. So beautiful.” He said falling to his knees and kissing her belly.

 

“Now Nveid. Do it now.” She begged.

 

“You really wish this?” He asked gripping her backside.

 

“Hai. You bastard but I love you too. You kill anything else and I will rip up your balls!” She snapped.

 

He smiled and stood. He kissed all along her face and slowly down her neck. She sighed softly as he slowly ran his tongue around her areola and then the tip. He wrapped his lips around the nipple hungrily and began suckling her. She groaned as he slipped fingers inside of her. Her insides began quivering the way his slowly thrust his fingers and sucked on her tit. The explosion took her by surprise and he groaned as she had to hold onto him. Her yoki was different then last time and he rasped against her breast. He let it go and he moaned out loudly.

 

“Iyo you feel a little different. Gods I think you are making me…I cannot think. Please woman what are you doing?” Nveid begged.

 

“Hai I feel you too.” She moaned.

 

She slipped to her knees and went onto all fours. Nveid watched her lovely backside and he could not stop. He slipped out of clothes and he spread her open. He licked along her entrance and clit and she gasped.

 

“Nveid both. I need both.” She said softly.

 

He slipped inside of her and he instantly felt tremendous beauty. He could up all of his family for utter happiness. He would give anything for her. He gasped softly and wrapped his arm a little bit around her waist.

 

“Iyo, can you change form? Have you become your spirit form?” He asked desperately.

 

“I have not.” She whimpered softly.

 

“Okay.” He said phasing into her.

 

The light was almost too much to bear and it was so unimaginable. He had never felt such and she was screaming. It was not pain but he was joining in her soul and life. He was guiding her toward her spirit self and he was going to loose it. He had heard old tales of Shouten and Tomoshibi occasionally getting together and the incredible happiness of those beings. There was light and dark; they complimented each other perfectly. She was in her true form and Nveid could not hold on. They fell to their sides and they began to move urgently. She anchored herself mentally to him and he yelled out. They were binding fully and he fell into the euphoric sea. Their one release was powerful and Nveid loss consciousness. He woke what felt like much later and they were lying on their sides still and she was stirring. She groaned and she felt him. He kissed her hand and she smiled.

 

“I love you Iyo. I will give you my all. I am yours to do whatever with.” He said softly.

 

“Hai but I am leaking.” She said in a whisper.

 

“The babes?” He asked shocked.

 

“Hai. Can I have them corporeally?” She asked.

 

“Not a good idea. It could take too long. I have many brothers and sisters Iyo. I can help you.” He said gently.

 

“Okay grab some blankets and pillows okay?” She asked softly.

 

“I can do that. Gods you are so beautiful and you are mine.” He said leaning down and pressing his lips to hers.

 

She nodded and she waited for him to return. She only knew that he felt perfect and he felt like her other half. She had been pushing Ulquiorra towards Rishou and Erena and he had been so busy that he did not seem to notice it. It had been subtle but it was working. She laid back and waited on the birth of her sweet babes.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke up and she felt better then she had in a long while. She sat up and she slipped from her bed and the two male Panyu. She walked down the hall and she saw Teru standing there. She lifted her head and he was anguished. He walked straight up to her and grabbed her shoulders.

 

“How could you not tell me? I thought you at least would allow me to…” He said in such turmoil.

 

“I am sorry Teru but you have made it clear where my family fits in your life. Soul Society makes me sick!” She said in anger.

 

“I adopted that boy!” He cried.

 

“He should be in Soul Society should he not?” She asked bitterly.

 

“No. I will not allow this.” He said in anger.

 

“Then do something right for once and go against the Shouten! You have many enemies and I would stand by you but you will not stand by me.” She said crying.

 

Teru stared hard at the wall behind her and he ported out. He could not stand it and he went amongst the Rukongai. He was in his old man form and several shinigami bowed.

 

“Find a boy named Hinata. He will have lately arrived.” He commanded.

 

“Hai Captain General.” They said.

 

He was tense and he was angry. He was angry at Kaito and he had not realized how bitter he was. He did not wait long and the small toddler looked up at him.

 

“Come my boy.” He said picking him up.

 

Hinata was sullen and he nodded. He ported them into the living world and he appeared at the Kurosaki shrine. He waved his hand over the shrine and the body was there.

 

“Go home little one.” He commanded.

 

“Haha? Chichi?” He asked.

 

“Hai. You will go home to Haha.” He murmured.

 

Teru sat Hinata down and he slipped back in much like a shinigami would a gigai. He gasped awake and began shrieking. Teru picked him and ported him to Yamasaki General. He appeared as his true face and Nobu was shocked.

 

“Make him will and tell the Kurosaki boy next time I keep him.” Teru said coldly.

 

Nobu was sure he was staring a kami and he gulped. Hinata was bleeding and Nobu ported them to the ER. Asuna appeared within minutes and she shook hard as she watched her babe.

 

“Haha! Haha! Hurt! Haha help!” He screamed.

 

Tears fell down her face and she was held back by Shinobu.

 

“Baby I am here. Let Chichi Nobu help you.” She said as her face was flooded.

 

“Haha! Haha! Pain. Hurt. Nata hurt.” He shrieked.

 

She began weeping as her kumo mate worked and he infused his IV with widow venom. Hinata finally passed out and she knelt next to the gurney and sobbed.

 

“Did he have to suffer?” She screamed at Nobu.

 

“My love I worked as fast I could. You do not wish to know what he suffered but he had to be stable. Widow venom is like morphine and can suppress breathing, okay? I am sorry he cried but he feels no pain now.” Nobu said softly.

 

Asuna stumbled over to a phone and called Ichigo. She got the machine and she left a barely understandable message. She went to the gurney and lay next to his tiny body. She touched him barely and she sobbed silently. She fell asleep next to him and he woke her up by stroking her cheek.

 

“Haha? Haha no cry.” He said grinning.

 

“Hinata. My sweet baby. I am so sorry. So sorry!” She said kissing his forehead and cheeks.

 

“No cry.” He said wiping her tears.

 

“Okay. Haha will not cry anymore.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“Hinata big boy!” He said smiling.

 

“Hai you are a very big boy.” She said smiling in return.

 

He snuggled his mother and she kissed his strawberry blonde head. She was just holding him tightly when Ichigo came in. His face dropped and he knelt by the gurney.

 

“Chichi! Chichi!” Hinata cried in a mantra.

 

“My boy! How?” He asked choked up.

 

“Unsure.” Asuna said softly.

 

“Hey little man! You okay? You wanna come home soon?” Ichigo asked wiping the few lone tears.

 

“Hai.” The little hanyou said.

 

“Okay. You rest up and Chichi and Haha talk `kay?” He asked his son.

 

“Hai no long time.” He said softly.

 

“Hai. We'll talk real quick.” Ichigo said smiling and running fingers along his cheek.

 

Asuna got up and followed Ichigo. He pulled her into his arms and began weeping. He held her tightly as he let out his pent up emotions. He was overwhelmed in the supernatural world and the onna who had born him his son and daughter was right here. He crushed his lips against hers and she responded for a moment.

 

“Come home. Please come home. It's our house.” He said hoarsely.

 

“Ichigo, I am putting Hinata in seclusion with my other babes as soon as he is well.” She said holding his head between her hands.

 

“Asuna, I can't fucking stand this.” He said roughly.

 

“This cannot be right now Ichigo. I am not dismissing; I am putting this on hold for awhile. I have been terrible and we need time to fight separate battles.” She said reasonably.

 

“They aren't so separate anymore are they? I see a wraith and I'll tear it apart slowly. I can't explain how my baby girl died. She ain't here but I'm not loosing you. Swear it!” He growled.

 

“You are not but this has to be enough for now.” She sighed wiping her eyes.

 

He nodded and looked away. He stalked back to Hinata and Asuna turned to see Kensei in the doorway. He looked downright pissed off. He looked at her and turned on his heel. She ran after him and he slammed her against the wall.

 

“I told you. I'm not going share you with another vizard.” He snapped.

 

“Kensei! I told him what he needed to hear. I cannot loose you.” She whispered.

 

“I heard your little boy was brought back. Someone's gonna pay big for that one. The kid or me, Asuna. This is a serious relationship and not some regular booty call.” Kensei growled low in his throat.

 

Her chest was heaving and she grabbed his hand in hers. She felt their energies combine and his eyes widened. He did not care who saw him and he pulled her into his arms; he kissed her with passion and conviction. He nibbled her lip and pulled back. He walked away and her chest was heaving.

 

“Kensei!” She cried.

 

“See your son onna. I'm still around. I'll be at the warehouse.” He said calmly.

 

“Hai.” She said turning back towards Hinata's room.

 

Ichigo and Hinata were asleep and she kissed her son on his head. He opened his eyes and smiled at his mother.

 

“Love you Haha. Sleep now.” He said grinning a little and he fell asleep.

 

She wiped tears from her eyes and she ported to Karakura Town and the warehouse.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She had spent a couple of days between Tokyo and Karakura Town. Hinata was released five days after he had been restored. He went into seclusion with his other siblings and she felt much better. She was in Lei's palace and had no clue where her Shouten ally was but she had not tried to find him either. She felt Kaito and she looked back at him.

 

“Why did Hanaj tr'Awnhi even think to touch you?” He asked.

 

“He thought me pretty. I guess he thought that the differences did not matter but they do. I cannot accept his family and he killed Rina. I am waiting but the strike is soon. I would have done so sooner but you are here.” She murmured.

 

“I cannot stand the Jings or tr'Awnhi. I cannot stand the Shouten in general beloved. I cannot stand the idea that their unholy hands have touched you.” He said in anger.

 

“The majority of the Shouten are just what you think they are but Lei is not them.” Asuna said with a soft tone.

 

“Did he or did he not do wretched things to you?” Kaito demanded.

 

“We changed it. It did not or has not happened yet. We remember it vaguely but it is different. Kaito things have happened that must be stopped. Do you know about wyvern?” She asked.

 

“I know they are ancient reptiles much like wraiths.” He shrugged.

 

“Well between the Shouten and wyvern all of the Ryuku Islands and that includes Seagaia are destroyed. Akemi's whole family. The Arrancar that fathered Haruya was a neko prince named Jagaharu.” She explained.

 

“That is what happened?” He asked stunned.

 

“I did not realize that you were not all powerful. It took going into Soul Society to understand that you truly were not aware of much unless you were here. What I am saying is that I have to do this and Lei is a good ally. I killed Bai and she was as his mother. I defended myself but I did take someone important from his life.” Asuna said.

 

“She murdered your first pup. She damn near killed Sheng. Good Kamis Asuna but you let your heart guide you too much.” He snapped.

 

“As if you did not? You wandered a foreign land and saw an unusual soul. You decided to get to know me. You never explained that you had sex with me in your true form!” She said almost amused.

 

“Hai well…okay I should have told you.” He said blushing.

 

“Hai well you are a wraith just as much as a Shouten is. Now I prefer Tomoshibi more but you are a sexual being just as much as an uppyr.” Asuna stated flatly.

 

“You do not have to be so blunt.” He said as the blush reached his golden roots.

 

“Well it is the truth. Did you Danika was a succubus?” Asuna asked.

 

“Umm I did not. Good Kamis you are a huge chunk of succubus?” Kaito asked shocked.

 

“Hai. Nifty information my mother did not share. She was so ashamed of it that she did not want to face herself. She was worse then I was at one time and she hid her past. She killed some of her lovers in her hunger. My blood drives me and I only manage to weaken my lovers but I have plenty.” She said blushing yourself.

 

“You still do that. You are not mortal. You are not full inu. You act proper for both species. You take lovers as an uppyr typically does and your become all canine about what you deem yours. That is the issue you have with yourself. When you were with Shezmu; I was your lover but I concealed it. Your needs were met through him and me. Now I knew that Anupu desired you but I did not realize he was in love with you.” He said smiling.

 

“Oh goodness. Anupu and I are too much alike. We get along very well but when we fight; which is often, it is epic.” She laughed softly.

 

“I am in need of food and I think I shall taunt Soul Society. I am shocked that Teru brought back Hinata but he needed to. Damn fool thinks he has to follow every rule his father and mother lay down.” Kaito growled.

 

“His parents? Who are his parents?” She asked.

 

“Silly girl! Izanagi and Izanami are his parents.” He laughed.

 

Her mouth dropped open and she was stunned. Kaito looked at her and patted her head.

 

“Onna you know the myths are based in reality. Kamis you look so shocked.” He laughed.

 

“But Izanami died.” She said shocked.

 

“Giving birth to an elemental youkai. Hai my dear. Go back and read our mythology and I will answer any questions you like.” He said still smirking.

 

“So the king of Soul Society is…” She started to say.

 

“Izanagi. Never met him but he is so old that he probably does not deign to lower himself to us youngsters.” He laughed.

 

Her mouth dropped open and she watched him phase away. She grew angry at Teru and fished out the medal that would make a gate. She waited as it appeared and she went through. She appeared in Soul Society and ported to his barracks. He was in a captain's meeting and he looked at her annoyed. She tapped her foot and he called the meeting adjourned. She followed him to his office and he shut the door. He appeared as himself and he scowled.

 

“You are the son of the creators?” She demanded.

 

“Kaito!” He snapped.

 

“Hai well he figures I know so much already. You broke the rules for Hinata! You are a Kami!” she accused of him.

 

“I know what I am Asuna. I know who my parents are. My point is that you had no business knowing. Why are you here? You torment me?” He demanded.

 

“Teru, why do you do this? Why do you act as if I cannot handle the truth?!Why is it you all have deigned to lie to me all these years?” Asuna growled.

 

“Because you were not supposed to be of that world! Onna you are not natural in that your soul has no business being in the living world! Juria had no business sending a kami soul out into the living world! You have so much damn yoki because you are screw up! The reason you are able to traverse the planes with ease is because you originated here.” He snapped.

 

“I do not understand.” She said shaking her head.

 

“Juria is a relation of mine from her previous life. None of this matters now anymore and you are youkai. Now get out!” Teru yelled.

 

“You love Hinata.” She said softly.

 

“Well you have seen to it that I am not in his life. You kept his death to yourself. I distance myself and my shinigami because you have.” He snarled in fury.

 

“Teru! How dare you!” She snapped.

 

“What you think because I am born of the Kamis that I feel any less? I feel onna. I feel more then you will ever know. You think Kaito is so grand but I am stronger and older then he is. The reason he was banished was because killing him would be damn near impossible at this point. I follow the rules because there are younger and more fragile souls in the process. I may be a Kami but I am not a god! I am not my father and you think I sit by as he does? I am smarter than that but there has to be balance and rules to keep the order; but you and your ilk have done nothing but wreak it!” He said in fury and his aura was practically burning.

 

“You killed your mother!” She said in shock.

 

“Do not remind me. Go away.” He said trying to calm down.

 

“No! Quite lying to me!” She hissed as she went to strike him.

 

He pushed her back onto his desk and several containers of ink fell to the floor.

 

“I will tell you how much I hate you; I asked Hana to return to you. I saw to it she was reborn. I have lied to protect not only those I love but those I tend. Now judge me onna! Go ahead.” He seethed.

 

His white hair fell around them as he stared down at her hard. He leaned down and kissed her passionately. She was still so angry at his deceptions but he refused to heed her ill feelings. He ripped open her shirt and lowered his head to her chest. He suckled her nipple through her bra and he growled softly. He pulled himself back together and got off of her.

 

“You tell Kaito that he lost any rights to you when he restored you. You are no longer his wife and Hinata is still my son according to Soul Society. Goodbye Asuna.” He said changing guise and leaving his office.

 

She was dazed as to what had just happened and she lay there a moment. She sat up and held her shirt closed. She ported out to the outskirts of the Seireitei and she produced a gate. She was shaken up and she walked through to her plane. She ported to her Tokyo penthouse and she was slammed into a wall. Hanaj stared at her in anguish and she damn near lost her mind.

 

“Why did you kill her?” She screamed.

 

“You lost faith in me! What did you do?” He screamed at her.

 

“You killed my daughter!” She yelled.

 

“I did not! I stunned her. She is alive and only needs to be revived. I had to do something but you lost faith in me! What have I done but turn my back on my family for you? Do you have any idea how much it hurts? Why should you care, right? RIGHT?” Hanaj said slapping her.

 

Asuna was too shocked for words and he fell against her. Hanaj truly had no idea how she had ripped herself from his mind and soul but it felt like gaping wound that had abscessed.

 

“What did you do? How did you do this?” He said in a pained voice.

 

“I did not know.” She said choking.

 

“As I said you lost faith in me. Why do you think it was quiet? I was trying in vain to keep some peace. Why? Why?” He asked in fury.

 

“I am sorry. Hanaj, I am so sorry!” She said threatening tears.

 

Hanaj was shaking as if in shock and he suddenly began to rip the remaining clothes from her. She growled out and he did not heed her. All he knew is that he suffered and she was here. He slipped fingers inside of her and she felt them deeper. She practically came off the floor and she was gasping for breath.

 

“I will not be betrayed by you again. You will not leave me in this state again!” He said in a terrible growl.

 

“What are you doing? Hanaj what are you doing?” She asked incoherently.

 

“How could you take yourself from me? Why?” He said in such a wretched tone.

 

Hanaj merged with her and relief flooded him. His groaning was unreal as he joined her flesh over and over. Mindless was not a good description of their coupling. Hanaj could not maintain his corporeal form the whole time and she was left with wild and crazed feelings of the physical and spiritual. Her cries were grunts and small screams. There was pounding on the door but she kept it shut with her outstretched hand.

 

“Cleave to me.” He begged.

 

She whined loudly as he did again what Lei had done. He collapsed against her and she screamed again. He phased into her and the door was flung open. Hanaj was using her to hide himself and he was playing payback. She arched off of the floor and Naraku ran to her side. Her body was sweat soaked and she appeared almost feverish.

 

“Asuna! Answer me! Asuna!” He said shaking her.

 

-How could you? How could you give yourself to him? - Hanaj snarled in her mind.

 

-Because you did not tell me! You did not come to me right away! You have been avoiding me. - She growled in his.

 

-He cannot have you. I will not allow it. I am leaving now as I cannot stay. - He snapped in thought.

 

-How dare you be angry Hanaj. You are the one that stayed away. - She yelled in his mind.

 

-Because I am falling apart and they will think you possessed. Enough…finish. - He said brushing every nerve as he phased away.

 

Asuna went limp in Naraku's arms and ported them via his miasma. He was worried and he took her to Nobu. He laid her on a gurney and his best friend listened.

 

“She was withering around as if she had poison in her and she went limp.” He said concerned.

 

“Naraku, I need to keep her and observe her.” He stated.

 

“Why? What is wrong?” Naraku demanded.

 

“Not sure. She is not responding to painful stimulus.” Nobu said concerned.

 

Naraku sighed and he sat by her bed. She stayed in such a deep sleep that all he could do was wait.

Hanaj was in Hadasan and he was fuming so badly. He found Lei quickly and he suddenly hit him squarely across the face. The Jing Clan leader was thrown backwards and he stared up at Hanaj in hatred. He bared his fangs and Lei circled the tr'Awnhi prince.

 

“How did you make your dick work with a female?” Hanaj asked as his eyes were flashing silver.

 

“Why do you care? You are tr'Awnhi!” Jing sneered.

 

“You are Shouten!” The prince stated.

 

“So? You abandoned her and she demanded I rid her of you! I gladly did so.” He laughed.

 

“I love her. I love her and you defile her with your unholy self.” Hanaj hissed.

 

“I love her and she hates you.” Lei growled.

 

“She is a corporeal female.” He said gaining in anger.

 

“I care not Prince Hanaj. Go back and suck your brother's ass. She is fine as she is and does not your betrayals.” Lei stated starting to walk away.

 

Hanaj lost his temper and Lei's eyes widened when he felt the blade pierce his corporeal self.

 

“Do not die too quickly traitor. She is not yours and she has me within her. You were nothing but a tool. Poor little Jing Lei Shi; nobody could ever love such filth.” Hanaj said stepping back.

 

Lei slipped to the floor and he had totally not expected such a vicious attack from this particular Shouten. He was rasping and he realized he may actually burn in hell.
